Since islamic history month is upon us here's some of their recent history that needs to be celebrated:

Here's a gooder:

Death penalty opponents pleaded with Iran on Thursday to spare a convicted drug felon who survived a hanging and was sent from the morgue to a hospital to recuperate so he could be re-hanged. It appeared to be the first time that the judicial authorities in Iran, one of the world’s top users of the death penalty, twice ordered a hanging carried out.

"We are pleased to celebrate, inform, educate and share with fellow Canadians the Muslim cultural heritage and believe that through education and discussing positive stories we help build a more inclusive, compassionate and multicultural Canada."

If it's the same "celebrations, information, and education" that the Europeans are getting, I'll take a big ol' fucking pass on that, thank you very little.

I'll read from the "Satanic Verses" in my best Morgan Freeman voice.

In Alberta, a Ukrainian history month would actually probably be more appropriate and inclusive.

I just thought it was interesting, while we were on the topic of assimilation.

BartSimpson BartSimpson:

Assimilation of the First Nations people would have as a byproduct the result of higher levels of education. Leaving them in their self-imposed apartheid to straddle the Stone Age and the 21st Century does these people a disservice.

What are we assimilating to again?

[Unsound]

Maybe I'm tired, but I'm not sure I see what you're getting at...

I thought it would be fun to contrast Bart's fear of being assimilated into Islam, and his view that we should assimilate First Nations..

The topic started crazy, lets keep it there for a while.
