Not meant to disturb the peace of the forum members but it's important to be self-aware of what's happening in India and what we can expect in Canada anytime soon.
A kerala college lecturer's hands were chopped off for questioning the prophet.

On a similar note, the Khaps in Haryana wants to lower the marriageable age for boys and girls so that they do not elope against their parent's wishes.
Talk about retreading in past rather than walking towards future

Hi MR,
If the rapidly rising Islamic fundamentalists are unchecked in Canada, we will soon see innocent people targeted for exercising their democratic rights.
Case in point, 16 year old Aqsa Parvez was killed in Mississauga for opposing Islam, Toronto 18 setting out to behead Steven harper, etc.

Seenappa - You sound more like those right-wing fanatic that call right wing radios or post rabid messages on CBC/NP/G&M websites.
Rise of fundamentalism is a case of concern - Whether it is Shiv Sainiks opposing Valentine day celebrations or girls going to bars, or whether that rabid Christian fanatic killing the doctor performing abortions. And just today, I heard about a Sikh suing Home Depot for forcing him to wear a hard hat at a construction site.
I do not think Aqsa was opposing Islam, perhaps she was opposing the customs and rituals that did not fit in Canadian environment.

Meghal: I beg to differ - I dont see where Seenappa sounds right wing fanatic. I think multi-culturalism has gone beyond reason here, and I envy the American 'melting pot' culture sometimes.
Its hard to sit idly by and watch these fundamentalists of any religion (sue me - im opinionated too) act like moral judges on other people.
The sikh hardhat story is also silly - politics and pandering to voters.
