Politics in Canada

Well said and thanks! Most are not even aware of this issue, guys!!

I feel men & women must take equal responsibility for present day promiscuousness and the resultant emotional, mental & psychological pain, horrors (STDs) and wounding it has produced plus the travesty of the destruction of sacred life in the womb that has also resulted in the West.

No apology is needed for more often that not these have been God-inspired choices each man has made in individual circumstances with which he is confronted..

And who says that the two practises bear any similarity whatsoever. Female Genital Mutilation is a barbaric, disgusting & outrageous cultural/religious practise. Circumcision is a medically-proven health-promoting practise, especially in our promiscuous age.

Please note, John, that many of the so-called people-oriented, caring policies that you characterize as "socialistic" have NOT and are NOT bankrupting Canada. In fact, whose economic recovery is currently the strongest and fastest in the world in the summer of 2011. The U.S. problems are far more complex that you suggest using a simplistic word.

Come on guys! There are probably just as many men as women pushy these things ...especially among guilt-ridden Gen X over-reacting to protect their kids from things that generations of parents have lived with in freedom to make their own choices.

Right on guys!

I'm equally, if not more, concerned about the fundamentalist Islamic practises that subjugate women in far worse ways around the world that both men and women are passively supporting through their political correctness towards Islam that's NEVER been extended to any other religion.

We've all allowed it and its a travesty of justice and social engineering by government & especially Judges.

The "Shoah" (Hebrew: השואה, HaShoah, "catastrophe"; Yiddish: חורבן, Churben or Hurban, from the Hebrew for "destruction"), was the genocide of approximately six million European Jews and millions of others during World War II, a programme of systematic state-sponsored murder by Nazi Germany, led by Adolf Hitler, throughout Nazi-occupied territory. Of the nine million Jews who had resided in Europe before the Holocaust, approximately two-thirds perished.

Bat Yeor is an Arab, historian from Egypt. I discovered this article by her some years ago after reading one of her books by the same title. She has published groundbreaking works on minorities and "d'himmitude" (an Infidel's inferior and persecuted status) under Islam. These include "Islam and Dhimmitude: Where Civilizations Collide" (2002). Some of the facts in this short article are now dated. Her compelling, scary and well-documented thesis is not! Here, Ms. Yoer explains her thesis regarding the stealth-jihad strategy engineered by Arab Islamists which is behind the Muslim immigration that's threatening to overwhelm European culture. (I believe her thesis applies worldwide.) Here she also explains the hateful, demoniacal underpinning of the revival and resurgence of anti-Semitism throughout Europe. In her 2005 book, " Eurabia: The Euro-Arab Axis (Fairleigh Dickinson University Press, 2005), argues that European governments, especially the French, have developed foreign policies aimed at winning the favor of Middle Eastern regimes and appeasing the growing militant Islamic minorities in their midst. In Eurabia, Ms. Yeor also documents how the Islamists have expanded on their own dissimilitude, called "a-taqiyya" (Arabic & Qur'an-justified: 2:173, 2:185, 3:28, 4:29, 16:106, 22:78, 40:28) by using "lie-fare" & "law-fare". They learned the former from those who drove Joseph Goebbels' Nazi propaganda campaign and who fled to the Middle East after WWII. They learned the latter from the brilliant but sad successes of the homosexual lobby in achieving child adoption rights, special legal protections, and same-sex-marriage rights in Canada and other Western countries. gfp (2011-12-12)
