First non-Muslim country ever.

Saudi Arabia pushes the UN to adopt Sharia blasphemy law to force all UN members " to criminalize criticism of Islam"

This makes me look at Canada in a whole new way. :roll:

Maybe we need two walls?

I know we hear from time to time a person gets a so-called discrimination fine or charge in Europe.. but I would think such a law would be somewhat dumb.

Did you know that Canada still has a blasphemy law in its Criminal Code?

Blasphemy is currently regarded as the act of showing contempt (or failing to display reverence and respect) for religious symbols or persons. It is well known that in countries such as Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Bangladesh or Afghanistan faith-based governments, radical militarized organizations and even individuals use the concept of blasphemy to justify violent implementation of their dogmatic ideologies – they silence criticism or commentary through lawful and unlawful justifications that blasphemy hurts their religious sentiments. Blasphemy laws are also used to settle petty scores between individuals – with the most common victims being relatively powerless and poor individuals.
Canada’s Criminal Code Section 296

296. (1) Every one who publishes a blasphemous libel is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years

(2) It is a question of fact whether or not any matter that is published is a blasphemous libel.
(3) No person shall be convicted of an offence under this section for expressing in good faith and in decent language, or attempting to establish by argument used in good faith and conveyed in decent language, an opinion on a religious subject.

R.S., c. C-34, s. 260.

So would publishing a book on Greek mythology be blasphemous of ol Zeus? Could an Egyptian claim an account of Pharaoh or some other false god in the Bible is blasphemous? Who decides now?

More to the point after you are overran with refugees, who will decide?

Just change it to insult and throw em all in jail..
In place of blasphemy or in addition to blasphemy in some European countries is the crime of "religious insult", which is a subset of the crime of blasphemy. It is forbidden in Andorra, Cyprus, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Spain, Finland, Germany, Greece, Italy, Lithuania, Norway, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Russian Federation, Slovakia, Switzerland, Turkey and Ukraine.

Germany

In Germany, blasphemy is covered by Article 166 of the Strafgesetzbuch, the German criminal law. If a deed is capable of disturbing the public peace, blasphemy is actionable. The article reads as follows:[51]

§ 166 Defamation of religious denominations, religious societies and World view associations
(1) Whoever publicly or by dissemination of writings (§ 11 par. 3) defames, in a manner suitable to disturb the public peace, the substance of the religious or world view conviction of others, shall be fined or imprisoned for up to three years.
(2) Whoever publicly or by dissemination of writings (§ 11 par. 3) defames, in a manner suitable to disturb the public peace, a church established in Germany or other religious society or world view association, or their institutions or customs, shall be punished likewise.

In 2006, the application of this article received much media attention when a Manfred van H. (also known as "Mahavo") was prosecuted for blasphemy for distributing rolls of toilet paper with the words "Koran, the Holy Koran" stamped on them.[52][53][54] Beyond the sentence he also received death threats from Islamists and needed a police bodyguard.[54] In February 2016 a man was fined 500 euro for displaying anti-Christian bumper stickers on his vehicle.[55]

A quick search shows that many countries have on form or another..

Today I read on the news that in addition to the federal motion to ban "Islamophobia", the Ontario government is also introducing such a motion.

AND ALL PARTIES ARE SUPPORTING IT!!!

I'm looking for another place to go...where is there one more frontier?
