Used to be a country that fought against discrimination, now it is just a sad shell of it's former glory, I wonder how the American born US soldiers who are fighting for their country feeel about this.  America I pity you  :'(

That is what happens when you let communists rumble.

You made the choice - now we are all suffering!

Shrinking America has become a laughing stock all over the world; you are under a huge pile of debt, you can't afford wars anymore, you want to grow your public sector like true communists... list goes on and on....

Get rid of those communists before they ruin USA permanently!

So what? If that's what they want to do then so be it. Why is it that Muslims are allowed to call for the mass murder of Christians and Jews whenever they feel like it but the second a Westerner goes so far as to *gasp* burn some Korans, it's the end of the world?

But let's see if I understand this. Christians/Westerners burn Korans to protest. Muslims blow shit up and chop heads off. I don't see the problem.

Yet you live in Canada, a country that specifically outlaws freedom of speech, arrests people for political commentary and bends over backward to accomadate Islamic terrorists that refuse to assimiliate with your country's customs. TRUTH isn't even a defense to defamation in Canada. 

I know that freedom is a scary American idea. Stick to drinking your shitty Molson ice and watching Grizzly Adams reruns.

As usual you miss the point, which is that the west is supposed to be civilized and above such petty shit.  Can you honestly say that Christians/Americans/westerners have never murdered poeple? What about Vietnam? How many blacks were strung up by trees in the south or dragged behind trucks? How about the civillian bombing during ww2?  The crusades?

There are assholes in every religion, I just expected better than my neighbours from the south.  Also, I am not American but if I saw someone burning the American flag I would be offended because a country's flag is a symbol of their freedom, I would even try to stop it if I could and I would hope that an American would do the same if someone was burning the Canadian flag.

Nobody would care if someone burned a Canadian flag and hence, nobody would burn a Canadian flag in the first place because Canada is irrelevant.

Hope this helps.

Give me a fucking break. This "civilized" and "above petty shit" concept is why we're getting walked all over. I do love your revisionist history. People who bring up the crusades while constantly ignoring the fact that they only came about after 100 years of Muslims conquering, pillaging, raping and committing mass murder of Christians across North Africa and the Middle East. But you stay on your high horse!  ::)

Exactly.

I liken this to the South Park episode about Mohammed that got censored a few months ago. South Park spent a decade bashing Christians and Jews in every episode without ever getting censored. Then the second they DARE make an episode about Mohammed, well shit, the censors come out and the entire episode gets cut into pieces by the PC crowd. And the best part is that they didn't even bother to edit out the Buddha blowing coke. Why is that? Probably because Buddhists aren't likely to start blowing everyone up and chopping heads off every time you criticize them.  ::)

Clearly you don't know much about Canada, We have a charter of human rights that gives everyone freedom to practice religion, we don't arrrest people for expressing their opinion, hell Anne Coulter did a speaking tour in Canada and even commented that she felt safer in liberal Canada because here people let her discuss her views even if they did not agree.  Also and American saying our beer is shitty ? that's like sookie calling Angelina jolie ugly  ;)

I am not Christian, but if I saw someone discriminating against a Chirstian or burning the bible I would do my best to stop them and would be offended, no one should be discriminated against Christian, muslim or Jew.

Well, we do have this little blurb in the Constitution called the 1st Amendment.

Honestly, this burning is kinda childish but once again it's making the muslims look like intolerant assholes.

They should respond with their weekly US flag burning, or is it daily now?

You mean Snookie?

Your charter of human rights isn't worth the piece of paper it was printed on.

You should bone up on what the laws of your country actually say.

Anne Coulter was almost arrested in Canada, and in fact wasn't she prevented from speaking at a University up there?

Also, Molson is disgusting.

I would like you to tell some of the US soldiers fighting along side their Cdn brothers in Afghanistan if canada is irrelevant and see if you don't get punched in your ignorant face for that, US and Cd. soldiers have shed blood aside by side in that country since 2002.

They rioted over the weekend about it. Now they're threatening terrorist attacks as reprisal for it.

This is a perfect example of the differences between the western and Muslim world. The West burns some books and the Muslims want to burn bodies.

I am not Christian, but if I saw someone discriminating against a Chirstian or burning the bible I would do my best to stop them and would be offended, no one should be discriminated against Christian, muslim or Jew.

Where is your outrage over the growing persecution of non-Muslims in Muslim countries? Where are your cries about hate-speech with regards to the Australian cleric who called for Geert Wilders beheading last week? Is that not hate-speech?

What's worse? Burning some books or calling for a man's beheading? That's where we should be directing our attention, not at some silly book burning that's in bad taste. And for what it's worth, most people in this country have denounced this book burning as it will do more harm than good.

Of course I am pissed about that, I am a non muslim you know and find their extremist views disgusting I posted stuff about that on a political form and was called an American sympathizer, Like I said I am against all discrimination.
