Islam: Our Partners in Peace...

Well the Christian Right isn't killing anybody (yet), but then not all Islamic fundamentalists go so far as to kill people.

Frankly I think the Christian Right might just be a bigger threat to American than Islamists ever could be. Consider reading this book ...

Chris Hedges: American Fascists: The Christian Right and the War on America

If you truly believe that, then canada is a more backwards and gullible country than I originally thought.

So, we forgo out constitutional rights because the LEOs are too afraid of the thugs to do their job?

Here's some reality to counter your bullshiite

Thank you for your comment, Mark.

I really don't know why you are picking on me because I'm Canadian. Is it just because your disagree with me? Or because you disagree with Chris Hedges, (author of American Fascists), who's American?

The linked article seems to imply that the arrestees were arrested because they were preaching contrary to Sharia law, and seems dismissive of the actual charge, "breaching the peace". Is it so inconceivable to you that they might have been making public nuisances of themselves?

Let me say that I am against any adoption of Sharia law in Canada (or the US); I will oppose various aspects of Sharia law, for example its treatment of women as inferiors. ... But wait: this is something that various Christian Right churches do too. Same for positions against homosexuals -- hmmm, maybe the Christian Right and Sharia advocates can come to a congenial understanding.

I do believe that Islamism -- a political as much as a religious momement -- is a dangerous force in the world, but I do not believe it ever will be a significant force internally within the USA. OTOH, The Christian Right is a power, and yes, I do believe that the Christian Right is a greater threat to American democarcy than Muslims.

You might take some comfort in that I don't consider the Christian Right to typify American Christians in general. For that matter I don't consider the Christian Right to be Christians, (not in any way the Jesus would recognize), rather they are modern-day Pharisees of the same character that Jesus contemned
