double standards

All over the world muslims are crying racism even where none exists, Canada is one of the most tolerant countries ever, and yet muslims here say they are the ones facing discrimination in Canada. We in Canada must understand that there will be some muslims that are going to be causing trouble and crying wolf.

It is hard to believe any one who is muslim who says that they are the victim of racism, there have been far far too many fake victims and events to say what is real or fake. Remember the 6 imans kicked off a plane, they then called the action racist, it was not. Only when muslims stop blaming others for their problems will things get better. In the people who are muslim there is a huge repression of human rights and freedoms , until this changes things are not going to get any better. Not for the muslims nor for non-muslims.

All throughout islamic countries there is hardship, not because of the Zionists or Christians but because there has been no open thoughts. Culture is dead in islam. Nothing has been invented in muslim countries for over 1000 years. In Canada by contrasts we in our short history have invented the zipper, pablem for babies,insulin, the telephone., there are patents for other things also, plus countless songs and books on a wide variety of subjects. There is a need for the people of islam to change, to actively turn away from anger and blame and start living their own lives.
