No chance in hell. Canada is one of the worst progressive countries in the world. Justin had this to say about the recent attacks:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressivism

Progressivism is a political philosophy in support of social reform.[1] Based on the idea of progress in which advancements in science, technology, economic development and social organization are vital to the improvement of the human condition, progressivism became highly significant during the Age of Enlightenment in Europe, out of the belief that Europe was demonstrating that societies could progress in civility from uncivilized conditions to civilization through strengthening the basis of empirical knowledge as the foundation of society.[2] Figures of the Enlightenment believed that progress had universal application to all societies and that these ideas would spread across the world from Europe.[2]

There is nothing progressive in allowing medieval mentality to fester in isolated ghettoized communities.

Many devout catholics find abortion, skimpy clothes on women, women spending time alone with men they aren't related to, sex before marriage etc etc offensive. Should we ban those too to spare their blushes (I'm agreeing with the original post) ?

Yeah You are talking about Catholics from me nannies era (born 1918) and the very few devout's who are still alive. Even the ones who are still alive today don't fit into the image you seem to have of Catholicism now. Catholicism pales in comparison to Islam when it comes to the extremes. All of the examples you provided above should not be offensive to Catholics, yes they can be disgusted by them, which they are entitled to be but I don't get to judge them because they may "sin" differently to the way I do. Cast the first stone etc.

Religious beliefs should never provide any member of any religion with the excuse to engage in acts of terror like Islam have continuously engaged in to this present day. To conflate the two religions is disingenuous. Im Catholic and no one was murdered because boards.ie continuously allowed memes mocking Christ to remain on-site while any dissent or the mocking of anything to do with islam is removed immediately. We all know what is the problem here........

This thread should be taken down nothing but divisive irresponsible crap forums should know better

Most on the forum are saying murder is not an acceptable response to being offended. That is hardly divisive. It’s just common sense. It is appropriate for people to look at the recent murders that have happened in Europe and ask questions regarding why it’s happening and what can be done to stop it.

In Ireland many of our darkest deeds were covered up and no one talked about it.

I have empathy for those hurt and killed in the recent tragedy and for Muslims across the world who will now get dogs abuse for the actions of a few

I know where the real blame lies for that.

Hint - it doesn't reside with an online discussion.
