"Hamas is considered a terrorist organization by Canada,[28] the European Union,[29][30][31] Israel,[32] Japan,[33] and the United States.[34] Although Australia[35] and the United Kingdom[36] list only the military wing of Hamas, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, as a terrorist organization. The United States and the European Union have implemented restrictive measures against Hamas on an international level." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamas Spin your way of that little FACT. Please show us all where Canada find the JDL a terrorist organization. The answer is that they don't. Nobody gives a shit what you think of them, we are talking about Canada and they think Hamas is a terrorist group and they do not think the JDL is no matter how much people like you wish it weren't so. You never provided anything to support your accusations, you just made more accusations supported only by your own bias. That is hardly a tactic that is convincing nor is it surprising that you couldn't come up with anything to support your claims of nefarious behavior by Jews.
I never said Canada recognises them as terrorists you moron, I said the US does, nor did I state even once that Hamas wasn't condemned as a terrorist group by any of the countries listed, I already know that! Jesus Christ your inability to read strikes yet again. I provided many quotes of which were taken from a variety of sources including somewhere as main-stream as Wikipedia for Christ's sake. Again you put words in my mouth; I never once claimed I wished anyone or anything to be classified as a terrorist organisation, so all you've done is embarrass yourself further there. The truth is, I couldn't care less who is what, considering these 'lists' are completely subjective. I've been pointing out that there is some injustice with the decision making process regarding the barring of Galloway. Regardless of how I despise him for his ridiculous views, I can see past the tribal group instinct and evaluate the facts, something which you've yet to learn. I'm assuming you're Jewish and therefore can't hear anything negative be said about Jewish led organisations, no matter how factual the proof laid before you may be. Then again, you may not, and may simply find it hard to accept that others have different views. Let it be said that I would not want a Galloway character entering my country, nor would I want a member of the JDL doing the same - you wouldn't believe how many Islamic preachers there are here in England, proclaiming the conversion of our nation into Sharia Law. So all your best efforts to label me bigoted or biased hold no weight, what-so-ever. I'm not continuing these circular arguments. We'll just have to agree to disagree. Have a nice day
Good for Galloway. He has acomplished more and is more respected than you will ever be in you're entire life browntwn you xxxxxx.
Canada doesn't place the JDL on a terrorist list do they? If not, then it really doesn't matter. Then it would be Canade listening to a non terrorist group ask to not let a supporter of a terrorist group in. I may agree with you that the majority rules in a democracy. The fact of the matter is, Canada is not a true democracy. Neither is the US. They elect representatives to represent them, based on similar views/ignorance, whichever may be the case. You quote things, but, you didn't provide a source. And calling people names, personal attacks, doesn't really do much for your argument. I completely agree with them not allowing this guy in. Have the majority of Canadian citizens petitioned the government to let this guy in? Thraxed, your just pissed because the guy is british. Don't try to say he is more respected than someone. You don't know people here. And you have no idea how respected someone is. Not only that, I think the type of people respecting you is a little more important than the amount....
It may not matter as much, but it still is a cause for concern - especially when a neighbouring country has this policy. That's sad but true, I concur. All my quotes have sources: - http://www.fbi.gov/congress/congress04/pistole041404.htm - "National Post's CBC Watch I," National Post May 8, 2004. - http://www.start.umd.edu/start/data/tops/terrorist_organization_profile.asp?id=183 - http://www.washington-report.org/archives/November_2007/0711030.html - http://archives.cnn.com/2001/LAW/12/12/jdl.arrests/ Maybe so, but I'm not going to let some smart-ass punk use smear tactics against me by trying to tar me as a bigot or racist, and my patience runs thin when someone tries to put words in my mouth and twist my posts without properly reading them. Everyone knows those are the tactics of a desperate person with no real argument. Again, I'll reiterate: I agree with the decision, but not the process by which the decision was made. I don't believe so. But then again, it's beside the point considering the number of people aware of the situation before it came to light, and as far as I'm aware, it's not a government's duty to default a decision merely because of lack of opposition. If something is petitioned/requested, it should be taken into the context of the populace. I agree. Thraxed, Galloway is an lunatic. We need to support the English Libertarian movement, not this reprobate's 'RESPECT Party' - have you seen their policies? They're extremely pro-state and have alliances with other groups, such as Hamas, which is not healthy.
