demanding religious accommodation is nothing short of fraud and should be criminalized.

I have been trying to follow the National Post stories on recent changes to various institutions to accommodate islamic demands to meet their religious ‘needs’. One of the stories is up to 1700 comments, a record in the experience of one seasoned Post commentator I know.

It occurs to me that as religion in a free country is 100% voluntary, that asking for others to accommodate your choices is akin to deciding to ride around in a wheelchair and then demanding that people make way for you, build ramps for you and subsidize your life because you are in a wheelchair. Of course, if a person actually did this they would be arrested for fraud and rightfully so.

But how is religious accommodation different? A person puts themselves at a disadvantage by their own choice. There is zero real world consequences to their deciding not to observe their religion, other than the reaction of their religious community. But observance in a free country is voluntary by definition of the very notion of a ‘free country’.

In fact, for religions other than Islam the entire point of making tough calls for your religious beliefs is specifically to build character by giving yourself hardships under some circumstances in order to keep yourself aware of things or humble yourself before your aspirations or deities etc. So to ask for people to make room for your choices in that case is actually a fraud against your own religion. interestingly its mostly only one religion that demands these accommodations and likely for political reasons, establishing its primacy, more than spiritual growth as one would normally make self limiting choices for religious purposes.

I would argue that islamic demands for accommodation for their purely voluntary religious ‘needs’ (desires in fact) is proof that it is not religious at all but one vector to political supremacy. It is a self proving behavior.

If you decide to peruse the comments on the National Post article about the Aikido class and the gender segregation they have now and the no need to bow to the founders, please read the comments by a former Muslim woman who taught Islamic studies for 14 years and is arguing with a Muslim who insults everyone else then accused the of Ad-hominem arguments. Search comments for ‘Saira’. She makes short shrift of the usual suspects in that comment thread. A sample below:

I was raised Muslim and this is completely untrue. Islam pretends to elevate women but in reality women are considered lower than men in everything. Men can marry multiple wives, they can beat them to discipline them, they can initiate divorce but women can’t. Women inherit 1/2 the property and their testimony is worth 1/2 of a man’s. Women are told to cover up because if they’re raped or harassed by men it’s their fault, not the man’s. Islam is a woman-hating cult. As a former Muslim, you can not fool me. You can lie to white non-Muslims, not to people like me.

  1. Islam is the New Far Right

    Islam is the most evil, violent, hateful Far Right Ideology in history.

    Angela Merkel who while running for re-election as German Chancellor (she won) became the first Chancellor to visit the Dachau concentration camp. During her visit she warned of the dangers of far-right extremism, pointing to the lessons of German history as an example for all of Europe.

    “How could Germans go so far as to deny people human dignity and the right to live based on their race, religion, their political persuasion or their sexual orientation?” she said in a somber ceremony on the wide plaza where inmates once assembled daily for roll call. “Places such as this warn each one of us to help ensure that such things never happen again.”

    Well worth reading the article and passing it on.

  2. ISLAM IS THE VERY ESSENCE OF THE FAR RIGHT

    In fact Islam is the most Far Right ideology ever created by man (Muhammad) because it ulilizes God to justify its great crimes. Muhammad was the first far right leader in history. Islam – the Oldest Far Right has invaded the West and is now the New Far Right. Hitler never stated that he was a prophet of God or that he met the angel Gabriel receiving divine teachings granting him and his Nazis cohorts the divine right to create a superior race, extermination, murder, rape non-nazis – Jews, Gypsies, gays, all those who opposed him and pillage their property – take their women as sex slaves and enslave their children. Hitler committed all these crimes on a grand scale, but without the divine, moral support of God.

    Actually Hitler was far left but the whingeing communists didn’t like that and lobbied the media into referring to him as far right.
    Far right actually means libertarian to the point of anarchy.
    Leftist are good at changing the meanings of words and terms. The same way they hijacked the word ‘Liberal’ to mean anything but.

  4. Religious accommodation is just coercion, another way the state seeks to put its boot down in order to deliver illusory benefits, things that there were never problems with before the state got involved in the first place. But I think you make a good point about it being a fraud on your religion since most sane religions require a certain amount of patience and endurance as a way to build character and commitment.

  5. It’s very encouraging to see Islamic deceit exposed repeatedly in such a long chain of comments to a Canadian news article. Much respect to vladtepesblog and Softly Bob and OX Ao and all others with patience to write comments on the thick brick walls of Muslim and Leftist stupidity. If they can’t get the message others will.

  6. Bob you got that right, it is unfortunate that way too many people refuse to check the facts before they label people.

  7. Merkel is sensible to talk soft. Germany is the 8000 lb Gorilla.

    However Islam has got to go.

    On Hitler, whatever else he did Germany wasn’t a raping machine. Racially obsessed whites like them are prudish.

  8. “How could Germans go so far as to deny people human dignity and the right to live based on their race, religion, their political persuasion or their sexual orientation?” she said in a somber ceremony on the wide plaza where inmates once assembled daily for roll call. “Places such as this warn each one of us to help ensure that such things never happen again.”

    The Nazis went after nations of broadly European origin. Even the Jews were admixed with Europeans to a considerable degree. The Germans were in a formal alliance with Japan and an informal alliance with Arabs, Indians and blacks in many theatres. The racism of the Nazis is highly problematic. They were more interested in dominating other whites than anything else. Merkel presents a false narrative.

  9. Among the Haredis, the very objective of all the rules is to maintain the separation of their own community from that of the “worldly”. Same is true of the Amish, to some extent.

  10. Dan female and good looking young males were routinely pulled from the lines at the death camps, they served as the sex toys of the guards.

  11. Yes they did boys too, despite what we were taught in school a lot of the Nazi’s, especially the SS camp guards (the Toten Kopf) (translation the death heads) were homosexual or AC/DC. It was only the feminine male homosexuals they put in the camps.

    There are many historical articles on this, it use to be well known but hasn’t been taught for several decades.
