Religion and politics: selective indignation
A friend of mine, Stéphane Lessard, posted a very interesting thought on Facebook this week ...
"If the Cathos infiltrate the CCP, it's a big deal, but if the NDP and the PLC are full of pro-Sharia or theocrats, it's diversity ..."
TWO WEIGHTS, TWO MEASURES
He is absolutely right.
We are very quickly on the trigger when the time comes to denounce the pro-life Catholics who work in the Conservative Party.

"Look, it's a far-right party, which has no problem wooing anti-abortion and anti-gay religious extremists!" The Conservatives are accepting them in their ranks! Their petticoat sticks out! "
And the Conservative leader is being asked to raise his right hand and swear he will never, ever, ever ban abortion or same-sex marriage.
Meanwhile, in the Liberal Party of Canada, the pro-religious are leading the way without anyone tearing their shirt and screaming scandal ...
Do you know Iqra Khalid? Liberal MP for Mississauga-Erin Mills, Ms. Khalid tabled a motion in March 2017 calling on the House of Commons to condemn Islamophobia and "all forms of systemic racism and religious discrimination."
In clear terms, this means that any criticism of Islam or any other religion could be considered racism!
As if religion was not an idea, but a race that is written in your DNA!
I know Cathos, Jews and Muslims who have stopped believing ... Do you know a black man who has stopped being black, you?
Do you know a black man who has become Asian? Yet I know Jews who converted to Catholicism ... and vice versa.
Madame Khalid's motion had only one goal: to prohibit criticism of religions.
Imagine if it was a white Catholic conservative who tabled this resolution! Justin would have fallen unconscious ...
But she's a diverse Muslim woman, so ...
Radio silence.
THE LAW OF GOD
Justin Trudeau has already invited to an official meeting a Sikh extremist convicted in Canada for having tried to assassinate an Indian minister!
In 2004, the Liberal government of Ontario, led by Dalton McGuinty Jr., wanted to authorize the creation of Islamist courts in the province!
The news went around the world. In the end, popular pressure was such (there were even protests in Europe!) That the government had
no choice but to reverse its decision.
Again, can you imagine the reaction if it was a Conservative government that allowed the creation of religious courts to settle family disputes?
Or what if a pastor ran for the Conservative Party? It would be the start of the fight!
“This is proof that they are homophobic and pro-life! "
However, there has already been a Catholic priest among the Bloc members (Raymond Gravel), and no one has made any mention of him.
There are radicals in all parties.
There are identitarians in the PQ, pro-veil radicals in QS, and - yes - pro-life in the conservatives ...
So what ?
