answer Rose is that we are all supposed to feel a collective guilt and share their angst and psychological fragility.
Mine came and integrated – no clubs nor HRCs needed. More fragile newcomers who fear for the future = not as much as I do though!

Do not fear Muslims, report says
Quebec Hearings
Jeff Heinrich, Canwest News Service
Published: Saturday, May 17, 2008
Dave Sidaway, Canwest News Service FileGerard Bouchard, left, and Charles Taylor headed a commission on reasonable accommodation, holding hearings across Quebec last fall. Their final report was leaked to The Gazette.
The “Two Solitudes” of French and English have been replaced in Quebec by “deux inquietudes” — the twin anxieties of the majority and the new minorities, according to a much-anticipated report on reasonable accommodation.
French-Canadians, a “strong ethnocultural majority,” fear being submerged by minorities who are “fragile and worried about the future,” says the report.
The French-Canadian majority in Quebec must shake off its angst about minorities and help build a truly open society in a globalized world, says the report.
The report recommends that people in Quebec learn more English — even becoming trilingual — be nicer to Muslims and get better informed.
“In this day and age of migratory mixing, of the Internet and globalization, it is to be greatly hoped that the largest number possible of Quebecers master English in addition to French,” says the report.
It adds, “The way to overcome Islamophobia is to get closer to Muslims, not to run away from them. Mistrust breeds mistrust. Just like fear, it winds up feeding on itself.”
“And I thought we liberated Holland.”
We shouldn’t have in hind sight, or Belgium.
no wonder 60+% of Canadians are unenriched by immigration.
The cartoon is not ‘targeting’ the gal in the sheet, it is targeting the fools who catered to her.

The report recommends that people in Quebec learn more English
I bet this went over gang busters at the French language police commissariat. Gee wasn’t Quebec’s great bitch, was having English forced on them? Another irony of Unintended consequences of social engendering. Trudeau not only destroyed English Canada but put paid to French Canada as well.
This may insult folks but I liken Canuks to guilt ridden abused tax payers who have become submissive with a domitrix government to beat them regularly by law, statute or stealing tax money, to assuage said pseudo-guilt the Intelligentsia instills since before grade 1.
Always working towards a detestation of Western culture, & its evil as they the neo-Marxists see it.
Anguish has become gratification, while Canadians shrink from any self value.
If we were still enduring an LPC led government the commenters here would be tearing them a new a-hole for allowing these HRC tribunals to soil our democracy.
How about a little heat aimed at the Harper govrnment for allowing these travesties to continue unhindered on their watch?
Mr. Harper, I helped vote you in so I say stop hiding behind that sickly veil of PC’ness in Ottawa and put a stop to this bullshit.I don’t give a f*ck what it may or may not cost you politically.
And one more thing, while I’m in a ranting mood.
To ALL those politicians who are lining up to apologize and hand out millions for the governments past transgressions against some citizens, may I suggest you add all war veterans, dead and alive, and all their ancestors to your list?
For you see, the way you are ruining this country by consistently putting your party’s concerns ahead of the nation’s, you are pilfering the sacrifices made by millions so that we and our own offspring may be secure in our freedoms.
I remember how upset people were when a drunken teen pissed on a senotaph last year.
I submit all the major political parties in this country are currently pissing right on their graves.
My father’s for one.
Thanks as usual Kate for the bandwidth to express myself.

Sad isn’t it.
I refuse to surrender to those that state we have no culture, we do have a destinct culture but our youth and the leftards believe our identity is based on Muliticulturalism. I don’t agree ,I believe multiculturalism and diversity are dangerous to this countries culture. I will not accept that all cultures are equal. As Kate has stated if we are all equal why do we have a refugee classification for immigrants?
It angers the leftards because the right are proud of our history and our culture. I won’t be guilted and forced to accept cultures that consider women to be worth half the value of a man, I won’t surrender to cultures that force women to abort female babies. I will not submit to a culture that allows the murder of females based on seven century values.
Canadian Culture rocks, if immigrants want to embrace my countries’ culture and intertwine positive aspects of their culture with ours that’s fine. Equality is hunky dory, appeasement and pandering for the Ethnic-Religious vote isn’t.
R-Dream: Perfect!
batb: I know this is a little late in the day, considering your warning was from last evening, but just to prevent undue damage to my reputation, the Ron Good you are suggesting folks don’t feed was someone else posting under my name.
I do my best to be a polite presence on blogs and the posts from the imposter have since been removed by Kate (with my thanks). I don’t mean this to build traffic to my blog, but I think even a quick visit there will show that my general tone is far different from that of the imposter.
Call me a mean person, like I care at my age, but, I’d love to see the Dutch in burqas. The drab standard issue ones too. No group stands out to me as more deserving, ok, maybe the Swedes and French.
It’s hard to believe that we liberated large swaths of Europe with the blood of far too many Americans/Canadians only 60 years ago to see them and their creepy quisling off-spring surrender again to a force that any girl could take down if they were so inclined. The old black and white newsreels of that period make sense with the French, Belgium Dutch, Italians, etc waving to their liberators, us, from their windows. Never again.

Put that story under the catagory of “Biggest Yet By Young Islamic Terror Group”
I don’t see Christian, Hindu, Sihk or other religions generating anywhere the magnitude of murderous crackpots as Islam. Every bombing is another record for these bloodthristy Q’uran supremacists. Victims don’t matter to these monsters. Any religion other than Islam guilty of having terrorist organizations use 8yr old girls to carry bombs that kill innocents?
Islam’s body count far exceeds any other modern religion and there’s no let up in sight.
It’s not a hate crime to criticize a religion that is based on hate. The fight to protect our right to criticize the obvious continues…
Canada’s current immigration policy is sowing the seeds of problems that will be felt for generations to come.
Multi-culturalism is a myth.
Ethnic ghettos and the fragmention of Canadian society is the reality.

OK everybody this is getting ugly =^-^=
lets all join hands and pray that Kate, Ezra, Kathy, Mark Steyn, Mark Lemire et al will finally see justice done
“this” is not getting ugly – “Canada” is getting ugly – “fascism and totalitarianism” are ugly – discussing “this” is my right and silencing “this” debate IS ugly….
Remember, everybody, there is a term for people who have to spend time in jail for their views, and that term is POLITICAL PRISONER.
This term can also be applied to anyone who is fined by an HRC and does not pay up.
We are probably going to have political prisoners in Canada very soon, and they will be created by the “human rights” commissions.
So much for the true North strong and free.
Aren’t Canadians supposed to stand on guard? Take note, politicians and privileged, entitled members of the MSM. Take note, “ordinary” Canadians:
All it takes for evil to triumph is for good men and women to do and say nothing.
At least Kate, Kathy, Ezra, Mark, the other Mark, the Fourniers, and their readers and supporters can’t be accused of doing or saying nothing…
But, where’s the rest of Canada?
This cartoon show Muslim woman who wear HIJAB means cover the body as represent Muslim and any place you see kind of woman dress like this you know she or grup like her belong to terrorist group or may her husband train in camp to kill nonMuslim and when sue some one used that money from HRC for increased and empowered their crime.
there is so many thing nonMuslim are not seen that Muslim feel and ask to stop this hate crime before this kind of media become worste
number one there is Muslim woman are hit in this media like when you want to know you are Jeiwish you see them by wear tiny hate in back of thei hair and you distinguish them ok this person are Jeiwish when you want to distinguish this person is Hindo or sike relgion you know them by kind of big hate they cover their men hair for me is funny why not thier woman cover only thier men cover
on other hand ISLAM and Muslim quickly are noticable by the way Muslim woman and femal in general they way they dress and this can be cover simple scarf or cover more no hair show up and cover complete hand and complete leg and do not shoew the curve in body but in Islaim cover face and finger of hand and feets is uption it is not required to get cover now as I we see some people also in non Muslim are not cover their body and some are alomost half naked some Muslim may be too much but nobody can complain since that is their body if some one like to cover their body you can not bother to force to show you in the same judment Canadian woman like to free what they like to wear
the dnager and scary part is coming that Muslim woman by wear and cover body are noticable and when they tried o show Muslim cartoon they used similar or put picture of wsoamn cover body or show the Muslim skekdh or Mola as symbole of Muslim
most of these woamn are sinless never did any crime or any other sin and never involve with any criminal orgination and some one are very buetiful woman also just like to cover their body or some are wife of shiekh or when they grwo up in saudi or part of city they born they dress like that and now used to wear still some one them when they come to Canad still keep the culute I know most of them graudlly will change since they will see more noticable and these woman not like men stare of them and prefer to change their dress in smile cover up of Islamnocover the mouth andeyes
now hate crime can hurt this simple woman as target if media like to use woman as target to bother them as they did so far in past 10 years medai are act so unfairly to them you dress Muslim then you are terrroirt and you are criminal
this must stop that is reason tehy capture oen cartonnese to get lesson to toerh stop hate crime agaisnt Muslim in media
espcially do not mess withMuslim woman spciciclayy they are not criminla if anybody did crime this up to country law to arrest them no matter is rish old jewihs Muslim etc criminal is criminal
the quesrion Muslim will ask saying if Muslim go and kill any innocent people you arrest tem and you call us terrorist are CANDIAN SOLDUTE AND AMERICAN soldute has right to chase one or few criminal go to afganiatan and kill so many innocenst too are there any oehr option avaible to reduce kiling innocent or you hate Muslim in genetall we kill them all if one criminla muslim did crime therefore put lable Muslim in generall terroirst while number of innocent Muslim kill for war in Iraq Lebnan and Palatan and Afgan and Paksin is more than number of innocent american was killed in war and this is proof if cirminal is criminal then if govermetn of any countrty do any job to kill or put endanger people of innocet victime of thise crime also can we call them terrorist too or can Muslim can call them criminal too then this i ring bell of human right commision to stop local hate crime spread if one do worng and otehr revenge thsi and death treat to that cartoonse if this is ot stop this can lead more local security and endanger too many peolle life for only some thing look funny for nonMuslim but serious secrutity for Musim to leave safe any where
again I also saw Muslim cartoon sometimse shoe or joke nonMuslim woman saying ok neae by boss miniskirt near my manage show clevage near my coworker and coligue showe belly short blouse and near my frind bikini and near my husband porn and etc.. this is might joke for Musoim made fun of nonMuslim woman try to say all nonMusim are bad woman in reality that is not the fact that is way they used to dress up and not educated woman dress shoudl make sense Muslim not like to see 24 hour sex of woman or men in work in school or in park we do not like too but having woman wear or cover body not should used to lable them are terroust and can be got bother by media can brain wash regulare people and make htem angery toward them Muslim keep the sex private not for publice or otehr to watch it do anything you wnat we are nto interested in day time see your body my dear.
again human right commsion noticed this can be worth and they try to punish both to stop local fight since crime isnot funny to make all Italina mafia or all irish are IRA terrorirt or all Chineese or all Rusiis terrorist or all Jeiwsh anti Muslim whiel not all jeiwhs hate Muslim too.
you must understand hate crime in any shape must reduce and stop that is my point every thing has a limint and now talking gosip agains Muslim are too much because american soldure pay too mcuh money join armyand that person must hate ckill Muslim to go to Afganist to kill them for hate and hate crime as you can see too many inocenet for excuse of chasing few bad people and this is made Muslim start death treat and revenge and this frustration must stop from both side since nobody had right to take the gun and kill anybody even the person may real criminal not give you righ to act like police and you do the justice here stop the hate crime I support this

For everyone that considers freedom of speech to be a left-right issue (many commenters here seem to fall into this category) should think again.
Simple example: Dutch Socialist Party has denounced the latest witch hunt in the strongest of terms. See “Arrestatie cartoonist volstrekt buiten proporties” (arrest of cartoonist totally disproportionate): http://www.sp.nl/nieuwsberichten/5587/080516-arrestatie_cartoonist_volstrekt_buiten_proporties.html

How does one spell bigotry?
Well Hassan, you sure took a long time to explain something simple we all already know. “The problem is…”, bah. The problem is, for the cartoonist, for our society, actually not a problem at all until you make it so. Frankly, I find all of these cartoons decidedly unfunny. If the cartoonist is jailed for anything it should be for being a not funny cartoonist. Given his subject matter is so eminently lampooable. That’s the best he can do? Please. The humor potential in Arab face-covering culture is astounding, and yet, this not funny stuff is the best we ever get.
But worse than than the thin-skin-ness Arab culture shows is their hypocrisy Their own cartoons of Jews are despicable. Why do think it’s OK to draw absolutely not funny cartoons of Jews but bristle whenever you’re depicted yourself. Look, you’re trying to fit into a culture that values openness and yet present yourselves covered up. In this culture we take that as a Halloween costume, or otherwise having something to hide. It’s laughable in itself. For example, I’d become a little worried if I were a bank teller and a person walks up with their face covered! Not done. Period.
Do they expect to get their driver’s license ID with their faces covered? Oh. That’s right, they can’t drive. Too inferior for that. Hahahahaha. See? Now that’s funny! Arab culture has got a long way to come to catch up with the rest of the world, you can start by accepting your more ridiculous observable behavior is going to be turned into satire.
Look, President Bush is depicted as a monkey exiting a plane asking “Is this Yurp? Are these Yurpeans?” Totally funny but absolutely offensive and nowise helpful in bridging differences, and yet the cartoonist is awarded! Why? Because it resonates! Everybody is already thinking it but that cartoonist showed it graphically. Get over yourself, Hassan, you take yourself way too seriously. We certainly don’t.
Also, spare us the lectures, they’re boring.
Good point, hassan. When a Muslim women wears the burkha, she looks just like any other Muslim woman wearing a burkha.
Thus when someone draws a cartoon, accurately depicting how a particular Muslim woman appears, other Muslim women could be mistaken for her.
So I agree that not wearing the burkha would solve a lot of problems.
Need I say the obvious. A crime has been committed already. A crime of fashion.
For this the kuffar must suffer.
Hey why not just let a school of girls burn down while herding them back in to their deaths least they be exposed publicly to the public by a religious police. Oops already happened. By the way Hassan where are the hate laws for minority’s for non-Muslims in your old home or any Islamic Nation for that matter?
Yet you Think nothing of forcing Sharia law on us, in our own Nation. Forcing us to change for you. Think on it. Would these Islamic Republics allow Kuffar hate law tribunals paid by the State against Muslims. You know the answer .
