    Default Canadians Fights Muslim Depression

    CANADIANS FIGHTS MUSLIM DEPRESSION
    There is a new bylaw in Vancouver that will ban smoking on most sidewalks in commercial areas, in bus shelters, and restaurant patios.
    Great. They could have just stopped there. But no. City council members felt compelled to grant an exception for hookah lounges because "they provide an important cultural space ... for Muslims."
    The hookah lounges are said to be "essential" for Muslim immigrants because it helps them cope with depression, which they often experience as newcomers. This article from The Vancouver Sun goes on to point out that "Unlike other immigrants, they can't go to bars because their religion prohibits them from drinking alcohol."
    Now isn't that a crying shame. Muslims can kill infidels, but they can't lift a toast to their hairy thunderer in celebration. Sucks to be them.
    The debate doesn't end there. The city council is still debating on is whether or not the bylaw should apply to crack cocaine and crystal-meth smoking, not just tobacco. Oh come on now, let's not go overboard with this thing.

    Sounds like a clear case of discrimination to me......Canada has now officially been Dhimmitized.

    Default Muslims

    This is the one topic I am not open to, I consider Islam a thorn in my side and the side of every western world country.
    They are tearing the very fabric of our beliefs and way of life in half and we are letting them do it to us.
    I live amoung many in Germany, the tide is changing here, they are losing ground now. Their sick, distorted, believes are criminal and completely intollerable to me. Cananda better wake up fast!

    What a simple minded and far fetched connection to make about Canada. This law has really little to do with muslims. It had to do with banning smoking in public establishments vs. private. The article just happened to use a tea house frequented by muslims as an example . Substititue a country western bar that smokes tobacco for the tea house and hooka-- it is the same analogy. This law is really not much different then American cites who might ban smoking in public areas and allow smoking in private establishments. Are you against private owners of bars or tea houses establishing their own rules? Truly one would have to grasp at straws to take this article and apply it to foreign policy or terrorism. How do you say STRAW MAN ? Does the originator of this thread believe a private establishment should be forced to ban smoking?

    "City council also agreed that the city's two cigar shops, which have special smoking rooms, can operate until everyone finds out what the province's new anti-smoking regulations will be."

    This article was about a law that that allows private business owners to have smoking rooms. It would have prohibited any legal smoking shop cigars or hookas from allowing customers to smoke. The reason muslims were even mentioned is because they do not go to bars and drink and often gather in tea houses to dring tea and smoke. The law would have alss shut down several cigar shops that had smoking rooms. Are you one of those who think private citizens cannot operate a private business with freedom if not using illegal substances? Please show me where this tainted story came from. I am not speaking of the link buried within the tainted story , but the story itself?

    Private ownership establishing their own rules regarding smoking is no longer an option in many places in the US.

    Default Say it as it is......:-)

    This is Islam demanding one way or the other their concept of religion and government are one! What next? As they always demand more! Look back 20 years in Israel and the the Palestine's situation.
    wvpeach posted about 2 (possible) missing soldiers from Israel and bombings.
    It goes on and on. They continue to take. Gosh do you know how much we give them a year?
    here is what it cost the Jews: Israeli society pays a heavy price for occupying Palestinian lands « SF Gray Panthers

    Or.. Why don't Arabs welcome their Palestinian Arab brothers? I think this site is slanted but you decide.

    Or some maps. Come on I am searching here. lol

    Palestine Maps

    Man it is hard to get what America pays the to the Palestine government
    But read this and use logic. see the untruth being written.

    Which is inheritantly wrong.


    A blatant infringement on personal property rights in America.
