    Evan is the worst of the worst on CBC. Mohamed answered no question posed and was never challenged on his assertions.
    Evan: what do you make of Steyn's claim that thee is no separation of church & state in Islam?
    Mohamed: Muslims are being persecuted now as the Jews were.
    Evan: What do make of Steyn's accusation that there is not enough condemnation of violence & radicalism from imams?
    Mohamed: sigh. smile. It's amazing how we can generalize about 1.6 billion people.
    Evan: Steyn thinks that media should show the cartoons as a demonstration of free speech.Do you think the media should show these cartoons?
    Mohamed: A cartoonist was once fired at Charlie Hebdo over (another unrelated) cartoon. Muslims are a suppressed minority & you're bound to have a backlash from them. Disrespectful cartoons fuel discrimination against Islam and lead to qualified Muslims being denied jobs.
    Evan: fair enough.
    Defund the CBC.

    This was a garbage interview, come on CBC.
    The second guest didn't even answer questions the he was asked. Please be fair and hold the same scrutiny for everyone on the program. If you are an interviewer and your guest is clearly being evasive call them out on it. It's annoying to watch because there is almost zero relevant Information given and above all insulting to the audience.

    Discrimination is nothing more than making a choice. I discriminate all day long. Tonight I will have veal and carrots, I am not in the mood for chops and carrots. Poor chops, poor sprouts.
    I want to be with my own in my own land. It's my free choice and I have that right.I don't want to live with muslims, nor do I want to live in or even visit their land. Period.

      Finally someone who thinks like me. In my view the most discriminatory person is a 25 year old woman. She wants to date a tall, handsome, 6 figures, succesfull guy. And good for her. That's fantastic. She has the right to seek for the best man available. I am a mexican physician. I wouldn't want to live in a Muslim country. To be honest I would visit those countries in order to learn what's not the right way of living.

    @Flerndw2222 9 років тому +4

    HAHA best part (Paraphrasing Evan here): some countries believe they have certain uhhh values (never heard of that before)
    Yeah they do; the right to freedom of speech, expression, movement (etc.) are all values that are NON NEGOTIABLE in any democratic country. Democracy does NOT mean that anything (including the destruction of freedom) goes. Our values stand as a whole, and they are untouchable. To brag about somebody's willingness to assimilate to democratic values in democratic countries is so repugnant. Anyone who does not accept and undermines those values does not belong in a position of power within a democratic society.

    13:30 Solomon "No one is condoning going into a magazine like Charlie Hebdo and gunning down cartoonists."
    Meanwhile January 20th 2015
    While police in southern France arrested five Chechens on suspicion of preparing a terror attack after a cache of “dangerous explosives” were found near a soccer stadium, more than 800,000 Muslims marched through Chechnya, in support of the recent Charlie Hebdo massacre in which 12 people lost their lives.

    It is important for any immigrant moving to a new country to assimilate into the ethics of that country and community. Freedom is a separation of church and government. No religion should dictate how the country or government is run. You can have an opinion but, you have no right to dictate to your new country. This is true especially for the people’s asking for sanctuary from violence and internal wars.

  • @edwardkirkhope9072

    Everytime violence is threatened or worse, done over anything written or drawn, the world should reprint it. It doesn't matter if it's insulting.... It's words on paper or lines drawn. The fact that ppl are killed over this or forced into hiding to avoid hurt is rediculous!It doesn't matter if it's about Muslims or Mormons. Ppl are being killed over cartoons. The fact that this is even debated let alone made excuses for is barbaric and shameful.

    The problem with moderate muslims is trust. When they so called "condemn" these violent acts by muslims are they telling the truth? How do we know if they are not deceiving us since the Quran says in Quran 3:54, 7:99, and 8:30 :" allah is the best of deceivers". Just saying, something to think about.

  • @pouncingmonkey
    @pouncingmonkey 8 років тому

    Why dont people understand, that at the very least, one need to feel comfortable and happy in their country of birth. The idea that Islam being ok, means it justifies its spread over other cultures, leaving people with no country of their own. We dont take this approach in nature. When common foreign grey squirrels out compete local, native reds, with nowhere else to go, we take a dim view to say the least. Not because reds are superior. Culture is colour, mix them all you get grey, GREY! Multiculturalism has no argument, no logic, its a joke, its anti-culture. Tourism will have little purpose but for a warm beach. Happy with controlled integration, but mas immigration is extremism if ive ever seen it. It will/is starting wars, civil, continental and global. It wont be word wars forever.

    A Muslim lawyer, using our standards (laws?) against us. He knows our standards are superior to those in ANY theocracy where Islam is the predominant cult. Presumably, that is why he does not choose to dwell in the Indonesia he lauds as being a more perfect Islamic state. Islam, as practised by the majority of Muslims is utterly incompatible with 'western' values. On the streets of Europe it does not seek assimilation; but confrontation and conformity (to Islam!). It 'demands' that WE adapt to IT in our own countries; and make accommodation for it. This is imperialist colonisation. Wake up before it is too late; and civilisation goes into reverse gear.

    I guess this is one of the things, that confirms what what Mark Steyn says about Intellectually less curious muslims.

    The Muslim spokesman is talking past the issue. Is he claiming that the horrific acts of violence that we have witnessed since, for example, the fatwa against Salman Rushdie in 1989, have nothing to do with Islam? If so, this is exactly the problem that provokes fear of Muslims and their religion.
    I can accept that there are religious extremists that will occassionally use violent means. What I cannot accept is that there are apologists for this behaviour. I think that this is the point that Mr Steyn is making.
