I noticed on page A9 that a U.S. commission has accussed India of failing to protect Christian and Muslim minorities. That is hard to understand. India like Israel is a democratic country, which like Israel mostly acts to protect itself against Islamists. It is not the democratic countries, but the Kingships like Saudi Arabia and other totalitarian regimes that oppress Christians most. Why pick on the relatively free democracies to criticize when there are many countries that harshly oppress religious minorities.
Glad to see that the United Church didn't pass the anti-Israel resolutions. Now is the time to discuss the facts with them and suggest that if they want to be do-gooders, they should pass resolutions condemning the fact that selling land to Jews in Palestinian controlled areas and Jordan results in the death penalty for the vendor. It would also be nice to see resolutions protesting anti-Christian laws in Saudi Arabia and other Islamic states.
Lastly we have our little dynamo, Karen Stintz honestly telling us that Toronto missed out on much of the Federal stimulus package because of the mayor's hubris. Mayor Crombie was a terrific mayor. Perhaps physical size is inversely related to the quality of Toronto mayors and we should encourage Karen to be our next mayor.
