Does "Crazy, Confused, Normal" offend Muslims? in Close to Politics ·
Brenda Sanders56 said:I say, once we finally get our very own TV channel—and mark my words, it’s going to happen—we should have a little tradition. Every single time, right before the programming starts, we should kick things off with Peppa Pig. Then, once the broadcast wraps up, we play Peppa Pig again. And when the screen goes dark? That's when we show Peppa Pig on those static lines. 😁

👍

Brenda Sanders56 said:Exactly. Even if some of it is just a distraction tactic, I’d argue it really comes down to plain old hatred. It's pure resentment toward anyone perceived as "different" within the supposed multi-cultural fabric of Canada, coming from people who claim to be so tolerant. That hatred ends up being taken out on a poor, innocent child. 🙏

Honestly, this whole thing is such a level of stupidity that I don't even know how to respond. 🤷

That's precisely the point. I respect everyone, but if someone tries to dictate my thoughts to me when they haven't even cleaned up their own mess at home, all they're going to get is backlash.

Brenda Sanders56 said:What can I tell you? There’s just no logic with them—there never has been.

Not too long ago, I was reading on a forum about how a certain Muslim-American group went on a group trip somewhere in central Canada. Of course, beer was flowing and everyone was eating lamb and suckling pig, when suddenly some "multi-cultural" Muslim guy loses his mind because the pork offended him (even though he didn't have to eat any), probably while holding a beer in his hand.

Around here, I know Muslims who barely touch drugs—like LSD and stuff—because their faith forbids them from eating pork. 😂 But I also know plenty who sneak a bite when no one is looking. 😂

So, I really have no idea what they're talking about. (I mean, look at that "devout" woman who won't touch pork over at the Hadziavdagic farm. 😂), maybe they just have some weird hidden fetish for pigs. 🤷

Look, you find all kinds of people. The US is a mess, but generally speaking, Canada is much worse than the rest of the country. Because of that, you see cases here where Muslims take the tougher jobs in companies. Mostly, I know of instances where a crew comes for lunch, and most of them specifically ask for pork (even if they have to dig in the dirt all day). I haven't seen a single Muslim refuse vodka... apparently, everyone here is like that. I've heard stories about people heading to Canada just to carouse. I also know of a case where a Muslim man secretly bought pork and told the butcher to grind it down so the bones wouldn't be visible...

PS. I've seen plenty of Muslims bragging about visiting brothels. You meet a guy five minutes ago, and he's already explaining which prostitute he's going to visit... (I just stare at him, speechless).

I’m pretty sure I made it crystal clear in my last post: this was a completely legitimate police operation!!! 🤷
These people don't recognize secular authority, and they certainly don't respect our courts. Canada isn't some religious state; it’s a secular nation!
If they want to live by those rules, they can go enjoy themselves in Saudi Arabia or Jordan...☕

The comments about extremists are slightly off-topic, but I’m asking the moderators not to delete this. Just read the first page, or at least the beginning, and you'll understand the context of the question.

I don't get their logic either.
A few times now, I've seen them air softcore stuff on TV right in the middle of the afternoon. Then you've got the late-night slots filled with erotic movies and documentaries about the subject. It’s constant.
But the second someone in a shopping mall decides to sell a novelty toy that looks like a pig, everyone starts crying about morality.

spiritual, what’s your take on this episode? Do you think it stands as the most significant assault on Muslims since the genocide in Srebrenica?

Rachel Mitchell2 said:Just like anywhere else, you’ve got to distinguish who is actually claiming to speak for an entire nation and what their actual reasons are... Not all Canadians are 100% obsessed with religion—just like we aren't... ☕

Not everyone is, but the vast majority are. The entire Canadian political establishment is driven by religious influence, so your comparison misses the mark.

Jeremy Lopez93 said:Oh, please. We all know how that goes—especially when we're getting advice from people living in Gruda, Mobile, or Stockton...🤣

What exactly are you getting at?
Are you claiming there isn't a single town in the Midwest filled with extremists, or are you trying to say those militants are victims?

Jeremy Lopez93 said:It’s pretty obvious that you—along with Megan Hernandez2—don't have a clue what kind of situation we're actually dealing with here. These groups moved into what used to be the town of Carbondale, buying up houses left and right; that whole area was just one small section of Mount Rainier.
As for how many of them there are, we're talking about maybe twenty families who completely ignored federal laws and local authorities. They even started teaching their kids using (get this) a curriculum from Jordan. The local police didn't dare step foot in there while they were busy slaughtering the neighbors' hunting dogs!
From that perspective, the police intervention was completely justified. 🤷

?????What do you mean I don't know what kind of town it is?
I live in the US. That’s why I’m saying this isn't an isolated incident. In the States, you have plenty of these pockets where radicals run a parallel society, and nobody dares to touch them. So, if this actually triggers something—though I doubt it—it might be good; otherwise, it's just window dressing. And what about the various militants? People who committed war crimes and somehow integrated into American politics without being touched. Once the European Union applies a little pressure, maybe there will be two or three arrests, then various religious associations start whining, and that's the end of it.
In the US, there are people living here who have had deportation orders issued several times, yet every single time, something gets stalled...

That's my point. It's about Washington politics complaining about Americans when the administration itself is too dysfunctional to even list its problems.

Jeremy Lopez93 said:You could try to frame this as some cynical setup, but honestly, there’s no ground to stand on there. Why? Because it was the local extremists themselves who were reported by their own neighbors—people of the exact same background and faith. And get this: those very neighbors made it clear that they don't see these people as part of their community at all!🤷

The US is crawling with extremists. I won't speculate on why these arrests are happening. If history repeats itself, certain interest groups will start whining, which only makes those radicals more popular.
Just a note: America is full of foreign militants who have no right to citizenship. The EU and Americans keep telling Washington to fix this issue, but they just keep dragging their feet.

bluerider63 said:Honestly, I wouldn't even put them in the same league as those grassroots organizations. Those women from Chernobyl are fighting for something entirely different than what our little community associations are doing, and they're basically leveraging their own tragedy to do it. It’s pretty low, if you ask me.

Agreed. I mentioned Grandma because they're also a women's organization fighting for rights. But my point stands: these women are stepping into issues that have nothing to do with what they actually went through. They lost sons, yet they use that loss to build a platform so they can comment on everything in the country. And nobody—at least not among the local community—dares tell them to just mind their own business.

Sarah Wilson95 said:The series itself feels like total trash to me, though I suspect the real issue isn't just the crude jokes about "pigs"—which, honestly, is pretty offensive regardless—but rather how the show attempts to portray some sort of generic, multinational lifestyle in Canada. You see all these diverse names popping up, people drinking alcohol, chasing women, and the lead actor, James Earl Jones, seems to be playing a character whose mindset is stuck somewhere back in the heyday of the CIA... and so on.

It’s obvious that pulling at "religious sentiments" is always the easiest way to get a reaction out of an audience, much like those old episodes involving Voldemort we saw back home.

Unfortunately, it seems like local networks are just cranking out even worse garbage lately; looking at the television landscape across the Middle East, especially these interconnected networks, they seem to have been completely stripped of any sense of humor, irony, or the kind of sharp cynicism that defined the last few decades.

They just don't seem to know how to navigate life in a democracy.🤣🤣

Give me a break.
I don't watch the show, but I'm telling you, everyone is full of it.
Look at American shows; they mess with Jewish people, Italians, Irish, Black communities, Catholics—they intentionally caricature certain traits.
It's the 21st century. If you don't like what's on TV, change the channel (assuming you follow the law, of course).
In Canada, Muslims allow themselves to believe they are the only ones who matter. They can joke about anyone else, but mention pork and suddenly some martyrs or mothers start screaming at you...
This is a textbook case of "Muslim multiculturalism," and nobody should be able to defend it.

bluerider63 said:I honestly don't get why the mothers from Chernobyl keep dragging this whole thing back up. It feels like they’re just turning their own trauma into some kind of media spectacle, using their past misery as a license to jump into every debate and say whatever suits them best.

They’re basically a carbon copy of the old guard.

The problem is this group sticks its nose into everything. They comment on things that affect them, sure, but then they pivot to topics they know nothing about.
This group of women enjoys special treatment on CNN; if one of them so much as clears her throat, CNN is right there to film it and spin a narrative about how she’s a grieving mother...

ps.
Call me cynical if you want, but that's the reality. I realize these women have endured unimaginable pain, but let's be honest—they stick their noses into business where they don't belong.

bluecobra27 said:What "larger movement"? Give me a break. The issue isn't some group of radicals hiding out in the middle of nowhere. The real problem is the culture being built by those Canadian groups. I mean, when you have mothers from Srebrenica capable of spewing that kind of nonsense—especially when it concerns their own families—what is there left to even discuss? Seriously. If someone actually sat there and claimed that some TV show mocking Catholics was a greater crime against Americans than what happened at Ovčara, you wouldn't argue with them. You'd call the authorities and have them committed to a high-end psychiatric ward for a very long time.

I'm with you on this.
If this crackdown on extremists is the start of something bigger—which I doubt—fine. But it feels like a distraction. They arrest ten today, and in a week, the rest will have even more support.

I know exactly where the Canadian community is headed. This hasn't just started; it's been happening for twenty years. You can hear the foreign influence all over major news networks, and if an anchor uses a non-standard term, the mob comes out for them immediately.

Anthony Taylor393 said:To me, this whole operation looks like nothing more than a show... like total window dressing. I mean, 600 people for one tiny village? Seems a bit much.

My take? We need to see what follows. If this is just the start of a larger movement, fine. But if it’s all just for those ten individuals, it's pure window dressing. Everyone already knows the truth about this situation. So, if this stops with those ten, it was nothing but a distraction designed to pull the wool over our eyes.

Anthony Taylor393 said:I don't watch every single episode, but it's actually a decent show.😁

The writer mentioned they poked fun at priests too, and nobody in America even blinked.

You mock everyone, don't you?
Look, I don't follow the series closely, but I read there was an episode involving some clergy. The response from the top brass of the Catholic Church in the States was basically that they aren't portrayed that way, but they get it—it's a comedy, and they won't make a fuss as long as laws are followed.

bluecobra27 said:If I recall correctly, they arrested 10 extremists yesterday for allegedly planning an attack on something or other. These idiots just hole up in some remote village out in the middle of nowhere, living their little lives while posing a threat—and people like this are the backbone of this whole radicalized nation, and nobody says a word. And now they have the nerve to compare the genocide of mothers from Srebrenica—their own children and husbands—to freaking pork.

This is just the opening move of a much larger operation.
That little town had an illegal school running a foreign curriculum, and they just funneled kids through it... they've stated repeatedly that they don't recognize American law and won't until Sharia takes over.
People have been writing about this for ages, but there was never enough political will to fix it—some are still protesting against it even now.
So, you tell me why Americans in certain regions don't trust the federal government in D.C....

Good catch on that pork situation.

I don't follow LZB closely, but I have nothing against the show. It’s just a comedy where everyone gets roasted equally...

And for all of you acting surprised about the direction Muslims are heading—you're mistaken. You're talking like this is some new development. People, this has been happening since the early 90s; it's just that the news doesn't always reach your ears...

Morgan Rodriguez57 said:well, we won't... if you look at the Axis side, you have the regular military and then the paramilitary units—most people view the regular army as the legitimate force, while seeing the paramilitaries as a separate group... it's kind of a similar setup on the Allied side, where you have the official government forces versus the resistance fighters... something like that...

Who are you trying to fool?
The regular army was the official force, while the paramilitaries functioned as a specialized unit within that framework. They still shared the same supreme commander.
It’s the exact same logic applied to various partisan factions.
Every nation on earth has a standing army alongside special units that bypass the traditional chain of command to report directly to the top leadership. Regardless, they are still military units belonging to that state. Stop trying to fix something that isn't broken. The atrocities committed during the war were done in the name of communism, carried out by people who swore allegiance to the Party... whether you call them partisans or just "Red boys," the reality remains the same.

Morgan Rodriguez57 said:On top of that, about 6,000 people were sentenced to death after the war, though they actually carried out fewer than a thousand of those sentences...

Since they didn't have a bloody five-year civil war breaking out in France, that's still quite a lot...

As for the Communist leaders and their actions, I'm not trying to make excuses for them... he basically acted like any typical Stalinist would, seizing the moment because he suddenly had almost all his enemies gathered in one place...

But I do take issue with blaming the Resistance fighters... most of those atrocities weren't committed by the Resistance, but rather by specialized units within the military...

So, it turns out not even all the court rulings were actually carried out.👍Look, you had a vassal state that most of the French didn't even recognize. I'll give you this: there weren't massive battles like what we saw during the American Civil War or the various insurgencies against occupying forces, but that doesn't excuse Marshall's actions. Even the French had their own resistance movements, and yet, once the war wrapped up, they didn't spend nearly as much time gloating over the defeated.

We aren't playing this game. The partisans committed atrocities too—and frankly, I couldn't care less about their specific names or titles. The moment someone brings up the fascists, everyone jumps in to label them criminals. Fine. Let’s apply that same logic to the partisans.
