7. Nowhere did I say we should start a war. I'm a woman and I don't want to

see the spread of a religion that goes against women's rights. I also speak out against the Catholic Church and it's policy on birth control. Fortunately the Catholic Church doesn't have the sway to keep birth control out of the hands of Canadian women. But they do try and persuade with pamphlets promoting 15 child families. I'm not saying it should be illegal for wahhabiism mosques to be funded in Canada but I do think we should have a discussion about it. When woman had to work so hard against churches to get rights, I don't think we should give them all away without some discussion. I was talking to someone during the canadian election who was born and raised in the middle east. I asked who he supported. He said the NDP were way too naive and kind and it scared him that an NDP government would get eaten alive by the other parts of the world. Saudi Royals have ****ed up the US for generations. And look at their politics and how the GOP in the USA have copied the Saudis. I think we should discuss a religion 'recreated' by a few men to give themselves unlimited political power and oil riches. I don't think we should be naive. I get a facebook feed every day of iranian women who upload pictures of themselves onto it.. without their hijabs. Called My Stealthy Freedom. As a woman I insist on a national discussion. Not because I or my family would be in danger of losing rights immediately. But some people may. And wahhabiism is a state invented and state sponsored religion.

Saw a Ted Talk. It talked about nations and how you secure democracy and human rights first and foremost, and then culture is the gravy on top. But you need strong institutions at the base. I want our human rights and democratic institutions strong. That i want to discuss too. Including income tax which pays for strong and stable rights and stops graft and oligarchy. The Saudis don't pay income taxes. The US picked up on it and now Cruz is running first or second in the polls with the promise he will abolish the IRS. There goes all your human rights institutions and middle class. And the Saudis taught the American right wing how to do it. I think I have a right to speak out on trends that scare me. It is what democracy is all about. And it is messy to have a discussion. But that is democracy. And there is good and bad in everyone and in every religion.
