Muslim Women and 'Canadian Values'

Well, Abuayisha, I am certainly not a religious expert, but Muslims who demand freedom of religion without supporting it are hypocrites. I have yet to meet a Muslim here on Islamicity who supports freedom of religion with all the consequences.

"Freedom of religion is a principle that supports the freedom of an individual or community, in public or private, to manifest religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship, and observance; the concept is generally recognized also to include the freedom to change religion or not to follow any religion. The freedom to leave or discontinue membership in a religion or religious group is also a fundamental part of religious freedom, covered by Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights."

So, who is in favor of granting a Muslim the right to become a Christian?

For my part I can say that a Christian has a right to become a Muslim. That's freedom of religion.

Now if Muslims can't do the same that's intolerance to say the least.

Disrespecting local dress codes is intolerance to say the least.

Calling Christians infidels is intolerance to say the least.

Killing praying Christians on Christmas is intolerance to say the least.

Killing Muslims who decided to become Christians is intolerance to say the least.

You and I can disagree about face veils in Canada. That's pluralism. But the accusation of intolerance is a serious one.

So, do you support freedom of religion?

Maya Angelou - �Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends.�
