Hi Canadian Chris...

Just wondering -- do you get cable? As one of the pre-packaged (no choice deals) here in Alberta, we get the Vision Channel. I sometimes turn on this channel -- usually on the weekends. The other day I happened to catch a person preaching for more Anglo converts to Islam.

It was an interesting performance. I think this fellow (who has an Anglo sounding name) is filled with hate. The "topic of the day" was about the duty for women to wear a hijab. Eventually, he got himself all worked up -- and began screaming that any mother of a 6 year old girl who had the audacity to curl the child's hair or have her wear a frilly dress -- why, this mother was rearing up a fire-brand, a stick, for hell fire. He believed it was mandatory for the mothers of 6 year olds to have their girl children cover their hair with a hijab (or else it would be committing the child to the eternal flames of hell.) When he spoke he had this incredible expression of hatred -- I believe he despises women or considers all women vuluptuous evil seducers of men -- from the age of 6 and up -- unless, of course, they wear a hijab.

This is yet another example of Multi-Kulti Kanada -- if I had the means, I would sue this program for promulgating hatred against women -- or suggesting that all women -- including 6 year-olds -- are potential sex objects, unless they cover themselves up (next it'll be having 6 year olds wearing burkas.) I am totally disgusted that such programs are allowed to air. Where is "tolerance/" Where are the supporters of women's rights here in Canada? Instead we have 7 th century adherents proclaiming the glories of female genital mutilation, honour killings, burka/hijab coverings, etc, etc. This is what we've imported! (Not that all Muslims subscribe to these beliefs -- but certainly this Vision program does!)
