QUEBEC HAS IT RIGHT – SEPARATISTS & FEDERALISTS COMBINED:
Within The Last Year, The Province Of Quebec Passed Several Laws Restricting Religious Aggression. It is Illegal in the Province of Quebec to Express a Person’s Religious Beliefs in any Measurable Manner in a Public Space, which Also Includes Blaring Calls to Prayer by the Muezzin.
It is Illegal for Anyone to Demonstrate in the Public Square in Front of a House of Worship, For or Against the Religion Expressed in that House (Church, Synagogue, Mosque – Etc). It is Also Against Quebec Law for Anyone Working in any Public Service (Forum) to Wear a Religious Symbol at Work.
I Make No Secret Of My Religiosity . . . I Am Jewish, and even though I Received a Great Deal of my Secular Education in the Protestant School Board of Montreal, I also Received a Considerable Amount of Religious Training at a Montreal Yeshiva (Rabbinical College) After Daily Secular Classes Ended.
I AM A STRONG BELIEVER IN AMERICA’S FIRST AMENDMENT:
Not Only Do I Believe In A Person’s Mostly Unrestricted Freedom Of Expression, I also Strongly Believe in a Person’s Right to Freedom of (Belief) Religion, or Freedom Not to Believe, or Freedom of How to Believe. But Those Freedoms Stop Where The Freedoms Of Others Begin In The Public Square.
I Am Not Observant. But I Am Jewish . . . And Even More to the Point, I am Proud to Say that I am an Unapologetic Zionist, in the Belief that the Jewish People Deserve the Right to Live in their Thousands Year-Old Ancestral Homeland of Israel.
Even Though I Am Not Observant . . . I Have Been Wearing a Star of David Necklace Under my Shirt for as Long as I Can Remember. Anne and I also Light Shabbat Candles every Friday, Not that Anne is Observant Either . . . It Is Just Our Way Of Staying Connected To Our Religious Values That Date Back More Than 5785 Years.
I Don’t Need To Publicly Wear A Symbol Of My Religion For Other People To See. My Only Concern, is that there Should be No Laws Restricting How I Choose to Express Myself . . . In The Confines Of My Body, My Home, My Place Of Worship Or Within My Community. And in the Province of Quebec . . .
None Of Those Rights Have Been Abridged Because Of Quebec’s Secular Laws.
SURPRISINGLY . . . THE JEWISH STATE OF ISRAEL IS VERY MUCH SECULAR:
Even In The State Of Israel . . . Which is the Only Jewish Nation on the Planet, to a Great Degree is Governed by Judeo Based Values of the Torah (Old Testament) . . . Freedom Of Religion Reigns Supreme, whether that Religion is Jewish, Christian, Moslem, Bahá’í, Buddhist or Whatever . . . But Even In Israel, There Are Secular Judicial Restrictions Which Keeps One Religion From Damaging Another.
I DO NOT WANT TO LIVE IN AN ISLAMIZED WORLD:
I Do Not Want My Life To Be Dictated By Any Religious Belief – Certainly Not By Sharia.
Should I Believe Moslem Politicians Who Promise Secular Governance, while at the same time, I Witness Chaos & Pandemonium in Countries such as France, England, Germany, Italy, Spain and even some Scandinavian Countries, which Have Significant Moslem Populations that Vote Along Religious (Moslem Cultural) Lines?
Many of these Countries with Substantial Moslem Regions Used to Deny Having No-Go Zones, where Non-Moslems are Not Welcome, and even some Non-Moslem Adherents like Visible Jews are in Jeopardy just for Being there.
With Social Media & Growing Evidence . . . The Claim of No-Go Zones in Western Countries Can No Longer be Denied, Especially in Large Swaths of France & England, Not to Mention Places like Communities in and around Dearborn Michigan.
The Arabs Have A Saying . . . Don’t Let The Camel Get Its Nose Under The Tent.
We in the West Have a Similar Saying . . . Don’t Let Him Get A Foot In The Door, Meaning that Once the Door Has been Breached, even by a Little Bit – It Will Only Widen Further, Until It Becomes Wide-Open.
I Am Not Suggesting Any Special Laws For Moslems, Different than the Laws all Non-Moslems Must Follow, However . . . I Trust My Eyes & Ears, and I Listen to What Others (Moslems) say About their Vision of Our Canadian/American Rights & Freedoms, as I See Violence Erupting on the Streets of France & Other European Countries, Caused By People Wearing The Arafat Keffiyeh, While Waving The Palestinian Flag, Literally Chanting Death To Israel . . . From The River To The Sea.
Equally Disturbing . . . Are the Hordes of Non-Moslems who Have Embraced the Moslem Lead to Decry the Rights & Safety of Jews Outside of Israel & Away from the Mayhem.
BEFORE THE CAMEL’S NOSE FULLY BREACHES THE TENT:
We Have To Decide If Our Countries Are Worth Preserving As They Fundamentally Are . . . Or are We Prepared to Surrender our Basic Judeo/Christian Values to a Socio/Religious/Political Philosophy that is Inherently & Aggressively Opposed to the Foundation & Protections of our Freedoms?
I Will Not Vote For A Candidate Based Upon His Or Her Religion . . . But I Will also Not Vote for a Candidate whose Religious Beliefs Run Contrary to my Beliefs in a Secular Society, Especially if those Religious Beliefs are Part or Completely Focused on Values Contrary to the Secular Rule of Law that Makes us Free.
It Is Time For America & Canada To Embrace The Ethos Of Quebec’s Secular Laws.
OUR FREEDOMS ARE EITHER ROCK SOLID, OR AS FRAGILE AS A WISP OF AIR:
It Is For Us To Decide . . . And For Us . . . And Us Alone To Lay Down The Law.
IF WE DECIDE WRONG – THERE WILL BE NO PEACEFUL COMING BACK:
Best Regards . . . Howard Galganov

Never forget, the Muslims are operating using a 1,400 year playbook. We, here in the US and Canada, can only think about the next election cycle —– 2, 4 or 6 years. FYI: here in South Carolina, there is a Muslim “no go” zone near Charlotte. Question: How many Muslims were elected, Nationwide, on Nov 3rd? At all levels of government!!!
The obnoxious, big-mouthed, fast-talking Michigan moslem will be sworn in as a new Senator in January. Watch this one closely. If he insists that he has the right to place his hand on the quran rather than the Bible, the First Amendment will be sorely tested.
Howard, we are of one mind on this. Unfortunately, government puts being woke over the rights of the majority, bending the rules and social contract it is supposed to enforce. As Carney incorrectly put it, “Muslim values are Canadian values.” The truth is, Canadian values are NOT Muslim values. Period. This all began with Papa Trudeau’s multiculturalism, then Baby Doc Trudeau’s there is no Canadian culture. Now, Carney’s WEF obsession and his intent to bring in 15 million Indians. Ca
To Stephen – 10 million Indian Hindus would be fine. 10 million Muslims who believe in jihad would not be fine. 10 million Christians who already follow western practices and were not anti-semites would also be fine.
I have never found out anything bad that Jews did to anyone. It is envy-they are smart, hard working, never on welfare, etc. I worked with Arabs in Beverly Hills. They lie, cheat steal and falsify documents as much and whenever possible. They cannot be trusted. The Quoran was written using Mohammed’s ramblings when on drugs.He could not read or write. That is why never is LOVE in it. But hate and killilng is rampant.
