@EvanLSolomon @nccm @SameerZuberi Prejudice against women in Quran 2-282: “And bring two witnesses from among your men. And if there are not two men, then a man and two women from those whom you accept as witnesses - so that if one of the women errs, then the other can remind her”.

I had a very productive and constructive dialogue with the leadership of the National Council of Canadian Muslims @nccm , alongside my colleague @SameerZuberi on a wide variety of issues. Thank you for the important ongoing work bringing communities together, especially during polarizing times. I also appreciated that you shared your views regarding safety, trust, and the ethical use of AI. Looking forward to our continued dialogue on all these issues and more. 🇨🇦 J'ai eu un échange très fructueux et constructif avec les dirigeants du Conseil national des Musulmans Canadiens (CNMC), en compagnie de mon collègue Sameer Zuberi, sur un large éventail de sujets. Je vous remercie pour l'important travail que vous accomplissez sans relâche afin de rassembler les communautés, en particulier en ces temps de polarisation. J'ai également apprécié que vous m'ayez fait part de vos points de vue sur la sécurité, la confiance et l'utilisation éthique de l'IA. Au plaisir de poursuivre notre dialogue sur toutes ces questions et bien d'autres encore.

@mtlgazette Children have the right to not be presented with religious advertising in public schools.

Bill 21 should be judged by voters – not judges, Quebec tells Supreme Court montrealgazette.com/news/local-new…

@bridgeinit Children have the right to not be presented with religious advertising in public schools.

As Quebec's secularism law, Bill 21, faces a challenge at the Supreme Court of Canada, some women in Quebec say they’ve paid the highest price. buff.ly/7LM8S0N

Constitutional law experts say the case will result in a major new legal precedent no matter which way the court rules. globalnews.ca/news/11742160/…

@GarnettGenuis Scriptures should not get a pass on promoting hatred.

If Bill C-9 passes, people could be criminally charged just for reading certain passages of scripture. This is exactly what Liberal Heritage Minister Marc Miller already said he thinks SHOULD happen. Liberals have been profoundly dishonest about Bill C-9, and they've done everything possible during debate to avoid talking about the substance of the legislation. People deserve to know the truth.

@DavidC19760909 "Total eligible votes: 6,302,789." = Number of registered electors: 6,302,789. You are confused.

@Kevgren1 Oh FFS! Total vote count in 2022 election: 4,169,137 Total eligible votes: 6,302,789 Total votes the CAQ got: 1,685,573 1.686/6.303=0.267 Bill 21 was passed in what year now? After 2022? You sure? Source: electionsquebec.qc.ca/en/results-and…

I’m reading a lot of posts re: bill 21, the Supreme Court and how Quebecers democratically decided this bill to pass! Really? I didn’t get to vote for this shit! Heck the CAQ won and passed this shitty law by winning an election with 30%+ of votes! Think about that!!

@jeremy_patzer Why don't you just pray for C-9 not to pass?

BREAKING: The Liberals scheduled one of C-9's votes TONIGHT during the National Prayer Breakfast's Leadership Dinner. Disgusting show of contempt to Christians gathering in Ottawa this week. I'll be speaking on the bill before the vote - and absolutely voting against it.

@GarnettGenuis Prejudice against women in Quran 2-282: “And bring two witnesses from among your men. And if there are not two men, then a man and two women from those whom you accept as witnesses - so that if one of the women errs, then the other can remind her”.

It was a pleasure to speak to members of the Muslim community gathered on Parliament Hill tonight. At this critical time Canadians of all faiths stand together to defend religious freedom. Freedom from coercion and violence and freedom from state interference. Eid Mubarak!

@JosephCher39663 @MrsDrBee @NatashaMontreal 1 John 1:9. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

@Kevgren1 @MrsDrBee @NatashaMontreal "Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?" Jesus

The Crusades were not random wars of aggression. The Crusades were the Eastern Christian response to centuries of Islamic conquest. They were primarily defensive wars. In early Christianity there were five centers of high authority: Rome, Alexandria, Constantine, Antioch, and Jerusalem. Each one had a Bishop and administered a large region, both politically and religiously. The origins were Apostolic and the cities were the core seats of Christian authority. Islam rose out of the Arabian Peninsula in the early 600s. Almost immediately after consolidating power in Arabia, the Muslim state launched rapid military expansion against its neighbors from 632 onward. Islam took 3 out of 5 of the Patriarchal Holy Sees (Alexandria, Antioch, and Jerusalem) in the 7th century. The Crusades were the Eastern counteroffensive. The Muslims had conquered the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal) and were in Tours, France by 732. It took over 700 years for the Spaniards to expel the invaders. The Reconquista was a parallel Western front. The Ottomans laid seige to central Europe for hundreds of years. They took the Balkans and Constantinople fell in 1453. Vlad Tepes of Wallachia (reimagined in modern times as the horror character Dracula) fought them off heroically for 6 years and drove them out of his principality. They laid seige on Vienna in 1529 and were expelled from Vienna 160 years later. Only Rome remained from the original Holy Sees after 1453 when Constantinople fell. Things you don't learn in school these days.

@AndrewScheer "Mark Carney is using Bill C-9 to strip legal protections for Canadians who quote their own sacred texts" -- So if I believe that my own sacred texts required me to go out and teach children to assault innocent people, then you would be on board with that?

Mark Carney is using Bill C-9 to strip legal protections for Canadians who quote their own sacred texts. This leaves parents afraid of criminal prosecution for simply passing their beliefs to their own children. Conservatives will vote AGAINST this bill this Wednesday.

@Gerry39464526 "I know it might seem a little late but trust me it was never in doubt" -- What was never in doubt?

I know it might seem a little late but trust me it was never in doubt. Thank you to every single canvasser, volunteer, APP people and everyone else that has stepped up to make this happen. Y’all are the reason AB is special, because the BEST people ARE Albertans!!!

@JosephCher39663 @MrsDrBee @NatashaMontreal Perhaps in the future you should refrain from using the silly "not true Christians" excuse to explain away bad behavior by Christians.

@Kevgren1 @MrsDrBee @NatashaMontreal

@JosephCher39663 @MrsDrBee @NatashaMontreal Ah, you are afraid to answer a simple question, which relates directly to your claim with regard to "true" Christians. I am not surprised.

@Kevgren1 @MrsDrBee @NatashaMontreal

@JosephCher39663 @MrsDrBee @NatashaMontreal Are you in agreement that a Christian can commit a hurrendous sin, then repent, and remain a Christian?

@Kevgren1 @MrsDrBee @NatashaMontreal Regardless, Jesus did not command forced conversions or killing people who didn't accept Him. He gave people the free will choice to follow or refuse to follow Him.

@JosephCher39663 @MrsDrBee @NatashaMontreal And perhaps many Christians who burned Jews and Protestants at the stake with tremendous enthusiasm, repented and did not make a habit of it.

@Kevgren1 @MrsDrBee @NatashaMontreal The Spanish Inquisition lasted for 356 years, from its establishment on November 1, 1478, until its abolition in 1834.

@JosephCher39663 @MrsDrBee @NatashaMontreal "True Christians do not remain or practice habitual sin" -- So, can you prove that "burning Jews and Protestants at the stake with tremendous enthusiasm" was habitual sin?

@Kevgren1 @MrsDrBee @NatashaMontreal True Christians do not remain or practice habitual sin. Besides, most people cannot predict when they will die. See 1 John 3:9 "No one who is born of God practices sin, for God’s seed abides in him; and he cannot keep on sinning, because he has been born of God."

@JosephCher39663 @MrsDrBee @NatashaMontreal Ah. The old "not true Christians" excuse. This may come as a shock to you, but Christians can sin and remain Christians, as long as they repent before death.

@MrsDrBee @Kevgren1 @NatashaMontreal Jesus never commanded the "forced conversion" of anyone. Those who did this were not true Christ followers.

@JosephCher39663 @NatashaMontreal I don't know.

@Kevgren1 @NatashaMontreal Why was there an inquisition? That was what my post was referencing.

@LarryBrockMP Please tell me why removing the religious freedom defense from the Criminal Code is dangerous?

Bill C-9 was supposed to protect places of worship. Instead, the Liberals have turned it into something far more dangerous. At the last minute, they brokered a back-room deal with the Bloc Quebecois to remove the 50-year-old religious freedom defense from the Criminal Code — without consultation, without witnesses, and without proper debate. Faith leaders, civil liberty groups, and hundreds of organizations across Canada have raised serious concerns. The government has ignored them. Conservatives proposed a simple solution: split the bill, pass protections now, and properly study the rest. The Liberals refused. Conservatives will always defend freedom of religion, freedom of expression, and the right of Parliament to do its job.
