Could Qur'an burning happen in Canada? Possible but unlikely, experts say - [domain blocked due to spam]


Interesting read....More than likely, not, according to "experts". Time will tell though on our neighbors to the North, as they are having issues with Muslim women and burqas in Quebec.

Canada, like any other nation, has its lunatics. The quality comes naturally to people, well beyond nationality.

At the same time, stories like this represent everything GREAT about America and its people.

Full of doesn't mean 100% of the populace. There's always a glimmer of hope somewhere.

It appears that meson doesn't read his own posts.

As much as it's not acceptable down here in the States.

I've personally seen the level of ignorance that *some* Canadians have achieved, so it wouldn't surprise me, in the least, to see some fringe group, much like that pastor in Florida, come up with with something as idiotic as this.

Even beyond this, as the article says, there is an unspoken intolerance that seems to be bubbling. In my experience, it's really only after a couple of beers and in the company of close friends, that the issues really come out.

But, to think that it "can't happen in Canada"? Pure foolishness, IMO.

Oh sure anything is possible but it's unlikely to happen.

Why is it so unlikely? From what I have seen and heard, the sentiment is definitely there.
