Muslim Call to Prayer in Regina (split from Liberal Gov't 2025 - ???)

[Jarnhamar]

they don’t actively practice it today

That's the difference.

That's the difference.

Hilarious you have to actually point that out... kind of a key point.

 

[Eaglelord17]

So just because they aren’t actively killing anyone today it’s ok? Whats the statute of limitations on such events?

Considering Christians were well involved in genocides up to the 20th century including in this country, if your saying Islam shouldn’t be allowed neither by the same logic should Christianity.

 

[QV]

Listen to yourself.

Ezra offers his point of view.

Interviews some folks in Regina. Opinions vary.

Guess we should still blame Germans??

It means one groups level of threat to other people based on religious beliefs in 2026 are considerably less than the other.

Rushing to the streets to celebrate when crusaders air-assault into a music festival and rape and murder the attendees is a good "we're still archaic" marker to me.

The CCRF prohibits discriminating based on religion so that's cut and dry there legally. I completely understand why so many Canadians don't want the call to prayer pumping out over lound speakers once a week or 35 times.

I get not wanting a call to prayer going out, I don’t like it either. But not liking something doesn’t mean I get to dictate special rules for others when I won’t apply said rules equally.

Defending people’s rights means defending the right of people to do things I don’t like as well. If you’re not willing to do that then it just means it’s ok to sell out your rights as long as someone else feels it’s justified.

Ask the natives how much they liked the residential schools, primarily run by various Christian groups. Happened much more recently than the 40s and happened here.

Christianity lays claim to the same principles. Just because they don’t actively practice it today doesn’t mean it can’t be justified under their teachings.

‘Kill them all and let god sort them out’

you are bitter aren't you. and no they can't justify it under their our teachings. Admittedly there are some who have tried and have used the notion of being loyal to your beliefs to draft others but that is a bastardization of what is actually written down. And before you go into the stuff about stoning for adultery and blasphemy I will agree that that is the teaching but then if you weren't screwing around on your wife it wouldn't be an issue at all. And incidentally, that is the Jewish law from 500 B.C. and although written in the Old Testament has not migrated into Christian teaching.

Not really bitter, just don’t care for hypocrisy.

That's right, you don't. But the government does. That's why it's illegal for me and you to advertise hiring white only people for a job but not for them advertising black or indigenous only. "Fairness" is whatever the government says it is.

A number of people don't feel you have the right to dislike whatever you want to dislike. But I get what you're saying. The thing is rights aren't unlimited. Every free society places legal limits on speech, conduct, and expression when they infringe on the rights or safety of others.

Defending rights means protecting legitimate freedoms while recognizing reasonable limits.

if what you said doesn't exist there is no hypocrisy. Which is not to say there aren't lots of areas where hypocrisy does raise its ugly head but what you cite isn't one of them. And much of the hypocrisy comes from people who don't follow the dictates of their faith to begin with. A touchy point being our Catholic Prime Ministers' (all of them) approach to abortion. And please don't take that as trying to side track or stir things up I simply identify it as a proof and an evident one.
