Don't worry, once we invade Canada, all americans will get free homes.
better watch out, Canadians are heavily armed with Maple Syrup and Poutine, ever had scalding hot Poutine thrown into your face? Me neither, but I heard it hurts.
Before you can even come to canada ...first you gotta get your nude pictures taken and then groped by your fellow americans at the airport. The American way:
People need to understand that they are guests and need to obey the rules, especially when visiting our two most holy cities. I was not there when the episode happened I am only saying that I have seen the same behaviour from Shia pilgrims in KSA as Manzareh describes.
Do you support his shrik action?
Well, I am sorry for your bad experience in KSA. There are also bad Muslims in KSA as in every Muslim country.
I see no point in spreading lies again, as communist-amir does every single time the word Arab is mentioned and as you do know.
Why do you provocate people? Do you like it? What are you trying to gain with it? Why do you generalize everyone? Would you be happy if a foreigner insulted your race or spreaded lies?
Aks you those question and return. If you are not able to answer it then this is pointless and waste of time I am afraid.
In Bukhari there is a hadith about a Bedouin man who came into the masjid and he started to urinate in the corner on the ground. The Prophet of God was sitting and preaching to the Companions. A few of them bristled and were ready to stop the man and beat him. The Prophet said, let him finish and there was no beat down.
If this guy was doing something even as wrong as shirk, there is a way to handle things.
Its one thing if they simply stopped his action because they believed he was comitting shirk at the grave side. Another more reasonable thing to have done would have been to let the crowd move on and then cordon off the area to make sure it doesnt happen again. But the onlookers on Al Jazeera were saying they beat this guy down so hard his head turned blue and they sat on him. Thats uncalled for. They could have even engaged him in debate...
Here is the hadith:
Volume 8, Book 73, Number 54:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
A bedouin urinated in the mosque and the people ran to (beat) him. Allah's Apostle said, "Do not interrupt his urination (i.e. let him finish)." Then the Prophet asked for a tumbler of water and poured the water over the place of urine.
if you are done with your poutine fights then I would like to inform you of the following

Canadian imam released by Saudi police
October 31, 2011 00:10:00
A Canadian imam who was beaten, arrested and falsely charged while on pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia has been freed following media coverage of his ordeal and pressure from a human rights group.
Usama Al-Atar, 33, of Edmonton, was released today following publicity about the incident, which took place Sunday in Medina, said Mohamed Hayward, who witnessed the attack.
Al-Atar, a researcher at the University of Alberta, was leading a small prayer group that included Hayward when they were asked to move along by Saudi religious police.
Between 10 and 15 of the officers then harassed the pilgrims and attacked Al-Atar before taking him into custody, Hayward said. Al-Atar was being “virtually strangled” by his assailants, he added.
Hayward said he didn’t try to resist the roughing up and remained passive, but authorities still went on to arrest him.
But when he was expected to make a court appearance today, Al-Atar was abruptly released instead.
Al-Atar has an elderly father, a pregnant wife and a three year-old-child in Canada. Hayward said he did not know details of his release or what conditions were imposed on him, but said he appears to be no worse for wear.
“He is pretty tired, a bit dishevelled,” Hayward said. “He could do with a good rest. I think he’d love to speak with his wife and kids as well. Otherwise, he seems to be OK.”
Canada’s Department of Foreign Affairs also made diplomats in Saudi Arabia aware of the arrest and offered consular assistance if necessary.
The Islamic Human Rights Commission also picked up on Al-Atar’s case and issued a statement Sunday calling for his immediate release. There was also a Facebook page set up on his behalf.
Hayward said he’s certain Canadian media reports of the incident and the work of the U.K.-based Islamic Human Rights Commission helped secure Al-Atar’s freedom.
“He could have been lingering in prison for God knows how long; with charges pending he would have been there for at least a month or two months,” he said.
