CANADIAN MUSLIMS AT IT AGAIN

I had hoped to sign of on this
subject but new developments
have made that impossible.
Once again the Canadian Goverment has
chosen to bow to the muslims. WHY?
What about the other immigrants of other
religions?

Montreal Muslims pledge peaceful protest
By DENE MOORE
MONTREAL (CP) - As violent protests continue
throughout the Muslim world over cartoons
depicting the prophet Muhammad, organizers of
a protest in Montreal promise a peaceful
gathering this weekend.
Said Jazari, imam of the Al Qods Mosque in
Montreal, said local Muslims need a outlet for
their frustration, but he said violence will not be
tolerated at the demonstration planned for
Saturday.
"We're trying to denounce all acts of violence,
all acts of terrorism, and also condemn the
caricatures against the prophet Muhammad,"
Jazari said in an interview.
LIKE THE MARCH OF PROVERTY... I
HOPE POLICE WILL CHARGE ANY
INSTIGATORS ... EVEN THOUGH
THEY ARE MUSLIMS.

Salam Elmenyawi, leader of the Muslim
Council of Montreal, said he has received
dozens of phone calls from Muslims angry
about the caricatures originally published
in a Danish newspaper last fall.
I AM ANGRY AT THE MUSLIMS
BEHAVIOUR
TOO- IS ANYONE LISTENING?
But Elmenyawi expressed concern the weekend
gathering could turn violent.
Many of the city's mosques will also open their
doors to the public this weekend to foster
understanding, he said.
"The issue is very highly emotionally charged
and we do not want to risk any backlash, having
seen what has happened elsewhere," he said.
The caricatures, among them one depicting
Muhammad with a fuse protruding from a
bomb-shaped turban, were first published
in Denmark in September and have since been
reprinted in other European newspapers.
LETS BE HONEST HERE... THE
TERRORIST SAYS
THEIR ACTS ARE DUE TO RELIGIOUS
ORDERS
Islamic tradition bars any depiction of the
prophet, favourable or otherwise, and violent
protests have erupted in Afghanistan, Iraq,
Pakistan, India, Lebanon, the Philippines and
Indonesia.
WHAT THIS RELIGION SHOULD TEACH IS
THAT MURDER IS A SIN AND SO IS
SUICIDE.
The newspaper that first published the cartoons
has apologized, but demonstrations continue.
In Canada, more than 200 Muslims staged a
peaceful demonstration last weekend outside
the Danish consulate in downtown Halifax.
The head of the Muslim Canadian Congress has
denounced the violence and the Toronto-based
Council on American-Islamic Relations Canada
urged Canadian Muslims to use the controversy
as a means to open dialogue with non-Muslims.
"I think we need to start talking to each other
about this and I'm not convinced protests are the
best way to do that," Riad Saloojee, executive
director of the council, said from Toronto.
Jazari thanked Canadian media for not publishing
the offending caricatures and he said organizers
will work with Montreal police to ensure a
peaceful gathering on the weekend.
"We won't accept any acts of violence during
this protest," he said.
A Montreal police spokesman said Tuesday that
as a matter of course, city police deploy to such
demonstrations to control traffic and the crowd.
Elmenyawi said the council and the 40 Muslim
organizations it represents denounce the violence
that has broken out around the world.
Instead of joining in the demonstration, many
Montreal mosques will open their doors as early
as this weekend in an effort to combat "
Islam-ophobia."
"This, we thought, was a much better approach
than going out and marching in the streets,"
Elmenyawi said.
Jazari said the doors of his mosque are always
open but that won't do to calm anger over the
drawings.
Muslims are insulted, he said.
"They're going to yell a bit. . . then it's finished,"
Jazari said.

MUSLIMS NEED TO RESPECT
WESTERN CULTURES, as we respect
yours in your countries ... headscarf and
all so as to not offend.
DO YOU WORRY ABOUT
OFFENDING US?
HELL NO
