“An Assault on Canada.” A first rate rant by Charles Adler.
Shariah law, the kind practiced in Iran received more than just lip service in a Canadian courtroom in recent days. It got room service from a unanimous decision by the Ontario Appeals Court that said a Muslim woman in the witness box has a right to wear a veil over her head. They – in a unanimous decision – overruled a lower court judge to insist that she abide by Canadian custom and remove her veil so that she could look the accused sexual abusers in the eye and look Canadian justice in the eye. The Ontario Appeals Court and that’s sky high up in the Canadian Judicial food chain – these are the men and women who get a serious shot at Supreme Court Status – the Appeals Bench was unanimous in giving the lower court judge the back of the hand for making a Canadian decision, one that wasn’t driven by the diversity agenda, the tolerance agenda, the agenda that says every tradition in the world is more worthy of more respect than our own tradition. The appeals court told the judge that not enough sensitivity was being shown to the woman’s religious belief and that a compromise should have been sought, a compromise like perhaps agreeing if she takes her veil off to clear the courtroom of all men even if the judge is a man? Even if the prosecutor is a man?
Lawyer, the evidence act states that one must be able to give evidence unhindered and be readily identified. This was a grown woman, not a frightened child, making demands and the judge obliged her. As someone posted before, a precedent has been set.
I don’t need to be a lawyer to see where all of this is going.
lawyer says: “IT IS OPEN TO A JUDGE TO PERMIT OR TO PRECLUDE A WITNESS FROM TESTIFYING FROM BEHIND A VEIL.”
Well see, there’s your problem right there. It shouldn’t be up to a judge to allow a veil. Welcome to Canada, where the law is the same for everybody. You show up for court, lose the veil baby.
As for Charles Adler, its a welcome novelty to hear what I think said by somebody on the radio.
Johan i Kanada,
Well said!
Lawyer,
Allowing the woman to wear a veil creates the precedent.
It opens the door for more of the same.
Lawyer, you know more than you can use.
Once we understand Islam operates as a colonizing enterprise, the more sense this makes. Islam is a political entity first and foremost. It doesn’t get overtly obstinate until it has the numbers in the “community.” It backs those numbers with implied and real threats hardly in the spirit of a “traditional” victim group.
Islam is all about numbers. The more numbers, the more Islam. The more Islam, the less Muslims respect us.
The problem is not Islam. The problem is our will, not our means, to defeat Islam.
occupant 9, we don’t have to defeat Islam. All we have to do is treat them the exact same as everybody else, and we win.
No special deal, no problem.
This concept is too hard for Liberals to grasp, they think appeasement is better. More opportunities for graft that way, I guess.
