    Murder is only worth 60 days in jail in Quebec Canada?
    Sharia in Quebec: Muslim who murdered 13-year-old daughter gets 60 days in jail

    In Muslim countries under the sharia, penalties for honor murder are lenient. Interesting and horrible to see this kind of sentencing in Quebec.
    The Palestinian Authority gives pardons or suspended sentences for honor murders. Iraqi women have asked for tougher sentences for Islamic honor murderers, who get off lightly now. Syria in 2009 scrapped a law limiting the length of sentences for honor killings, but “the new law says a man can still benefit from extenuating circumstances in crimes of passion or honour ‘provided he serves a prison term of no less than two years in the case of killing.’” And in 2003 the Jordanian Parliament voted down on Islamic grounds a provision designed to stiffen penalties for honor killings. Al-Jazeera reported that “Islamists and conservatives said the laws violated religious traditions and would destroy families and values.” (Source: Jihadwatch)
    Add Canada to the list.

    Sidimé will not have to serve the 60 days consecutively, meaning he could choose to serve on weekends.
    He has already served 19 days.
    Sidimé, 74, pleaded guilty to manslaughter after slapping his 13-year-old, Nouténé, so hard that an artery in her brain ruptured.
    According to testimony in his 2011 preliminary hearing, Sidimé slapped his teenage daughter twice for not doing a chore in the manner he had instructed.
    Even using the word “slap” is disgusting. This man socked his daughter so hard, she died. Cold blooded murder in the service of the Islamic code of honor.
    “Quebec man who killed teen daughter with slap gets 60 days in jail,” The Globe and Mail, May 21, 2014
    A Quebec man who slapped his teenage daughter so hard she died has been sentenced to 60 days in jail.
    Moussa Sidime, was sentenced Wednesday, is expected to serve his time two days a week over 30 weeks.
    The 74-year-old man had pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the death of his 13-year-old daughter, Noutene, in October, 2010.
    The court heard Sidime struck her because he didn’t like how she had completed a chore and because she had been disrespectful.
    It was Sidime who called 911 himself after finding the girl unconscious minutes later. She died after a few days in hospital.
    The Crown was seeking a prison sentence.
    Sidime’s lawyer had argued for leniency, calling the death an exceptional case.

    We aren't lenient on child killers. This is a different circumstance and these people are judged and sentenced by a jury of their peers who are not all Canadians.

    Why do they get special exclusions from Canadian law at all... Their peers should be ALL Canadians, not selected by race or religious preference... and Canadian law should apply to them the same as anyone else in Canada.

    point away tickle, but how can you allow a jury to decide the length of a sentence. we used to have travesties like this once but then we enacted truth in sentencing laws to ensure the sentence fitted the crime. You want to allow someone other than a judge to decide a sentence let the parents decide the sentence

    Our judicial system in Canada is presided over by a Judge and a jury. Where do you get the idea it is a jury only? The Crown wanted a prison sentence.

    are you saying the jury was more lenient, no surprise there but a judge should know better. Some old darling on the bench, no doubt. There is only one way to deal with serious crime and that is in a serious manner, we have just enacted new one punch legislation and it isn't considered manslaughter. GBH in any form is serious and not tolerated

    Why didnt the prosecutor go for a murder chanrge when what he had done was clearly illegal and from the situation was most likely not the first time it occured. There are other charges that should have been tacked along with it too. Child abuse being one of them. That way he can never be around children without supervision.

    I think this is world wide... not a country issue rather a humanity issue. We need to start looking at the issues as world wide. My solution to the issues in my part of the world is I am becoming an activist for human rights, animal rights. I am also changing my part of the world by just being nice. I know that sounds silly but I believe if more people would do that then we would see change on a larger scale. We just need more nice people than evil people.

    How very niaive of you, evil is not defeated by nice, it is defeated by action.

    What would wide issues would you like to look at? let's take fundamentalist Islam, now I'm willing to think there were nice people in Nigeria but the only thing that will eliminate Boko Haram is action, military action. I look at my own society and I observe the names and backgrounds of offenders and it occurs to me that while my society is basically nice, peaceful and lawabiding, it hasn't made any impression on these people. This is why we gave 15 Year sentences to muslim boys who gang raped a Christian girl, 15 years for rape and the Canadians give 60 days for "manslaughter". Noone gets 60 days here for a serious crime

    Exactly, Neville Chamberland proved that appeasement dioesn't work... and its been proven over and over since then as well (and well before that too). And there is about 1,400 years of history proving you don't appease Islam....you either kill them or they kill you. Anyplace they achieve a critical mass mob mentality kicks in and they opress any other religion or belief, to the point of killing them if they don't convert. Recent history of the numerous Genocides being attempted and perpatrated towards Christians and Jews by Muslims only highlights that. Look what been going on in France and the UK with them. They refuse to assimilate then Riot because everyone doen't bend over and bow to their demands.

    Sharia is by its very definition....a violation of human rights on multiple levels on multiple points. And I don't trust ANY group that even THINKS its a good idea.

    With that said....individually many Muslims are perfectly fine....but like other groups....get enough of them in one place and trouble results....(like many activists, soccer fanatics, Drunks etc....)

    Being nice is one thing... but capitulating and appeasing are something totally different. There are some people that actually think they are all part of the same thing.

    ANY appeasement and ANY capitulation with that group does harm... because nothing they want is positive to anyone who believe in human rights and personal liberty. Sharia denies people civil liberties AND human rights. And many places where they have flocked into groups large enough... they start demanding to Impose Sharia... and its not just Canada, they have been doing that here too.

    With that community its ALWAYS...give them an inch and they try to take a foot...Give them a foot and they try to take a mile....then its a matter of time before Synagogs and Churches start being bombed and burned.

    If they want to do things their way....they are invited to return where they came from. This part of the World isn't Muslim...and we don't appreciate Muslim traditions and laws being rammed down out throats. And I do know quite a few don't do that....I trust NONE who wear a scarf....and I trust none who wear burquas.

    And yes, I know quite a few Muslims , some of them good friends...none of them wear any of that stuff....and they have said nowhere is it written they need to. We are talking people born in Afghanistan, Iran, and a couple other countries. All of whom immigrated here, and have tried to fit in...

    I was jsut at a College Graduation party of the son of one of my Afghan friends last weekend....I've known him since he was born....50 people at the party, most Afghan except for a couple of Iranians....ONE woman wore a head scarf.....and she was undergoing chemo and radiation therapy for cancer...none wore a burqa, all I believe were Muslims, a few I haven't met before...but many I met years ago, me and my wife were the only people there NOT from that part of the world.

    Just so its clear.....I don't hate muslims for being muslims.....I hate the muslims that behave in a certain manner. Just as I have no use for certain people of any ethnicity that behave in certain manners.

    I agree with smoothy, Islam must not be appeased, they have no intention in making any concessions to our culture. Islam must be confronted and forced back into the sixth century enclave it wants to create. My reasons for saying it is it is barbaric and completely out of tune with modern thinking, Muthutmad thought it was alright to spread religion by conquest, to cohabit with minors and kill your opposition and I don't think any of this has changed, these are people who would still practice slavery today if we let them get away with it

    I also refuse to travel to, or even through any country that allows or imposes Sharia on the population. And I'm one of those people who will never submit to it to my dying breath (yes I would be one of the many people that would get militant about it if it was ever attempted)... no matter WHERE I may be. I go as far as refusing to buy any products from those places when and where possible. That includes clothing.

    There are extremists in all groups of people that give the others a bad name. It is not just the Muslims.
    I do not follow a religion due to issues with most of them and the extreme beliefs they have that don't give all people rights. Do I hate all Christians, Muslims, Jews etc. NO. I base my thoughts on you when I look at your character, morals, actions etc. Again though what harm does my philosophy cause? I am not hurting people. I am sure people that know me can attest I do not hide my head in the sand from issues in the real world.
    One example of my niceness. We were in bed on Sunday when someone was pounding on our door. Our neighbor was yelling she was stabbed. I could have ignored it. I could have said I would call the cops and left her out there. I did neither. I let her in the house, got her a robe to cover up called 911. Got my dog in my brothers room and we brought her dog in and kenneled him. We kenneled the dogs so they cops would not shoot them if they barked (yes it happens a lot in North America). We kept the dog over night and this was the first time we met the dog. We gave our number to her in case she needed a ride home from the hospital. That is being nice. That is changing the world a little. Don't tell me everyone would do that as I read stories all the time how people ignore others in need.
    Another way I have helped out is by running a yearly auction for a dog rescue in Brazil. I don't raise a lot but it helps. I also talk to people I meet about this rescue all the time. I am being nice and can attest my sharing is working as my sister in law is adopting one of the dogs. They now do international adoptions.
    I am also helping out with the homeless in my city by donating backpacks filled with essentials to them. I unfortunately will not be handing them out as I have fears of the homeless (which I hate having as I know not all of them are mean people.
    Sorry did not mean to ramble. I just wanted to let you know I am not just a pot smoking hippy with her head in the sand saying life is all about unicorns and rainbows... though that would be cool.

    Many live under the rules of unscrupulous zealots, and do bad things in the name of whatever god. That's the history of the world and every religion. To pick the bad and apply it to the whole is no way to justify your own hate, which is in itself a form of zealotry, and its no surprise you spew it as easy as those who spew their own hate.

    Funny how haters can ignore and appease the bad behavior of their own with no problem. Self righteous crap! Haters must hate themselves because they are no better than the ones they hate.

    This isn't about hate and it isn't about religion, it is about an ideology, a world view that doesn't allow any compromise with anyone else, in fact they have become more militant in recent decades than they once were and this is because they discovered nationalism, which in their world view actually makes no sense since they are supposed to be part of the caliphate, a muslim utopia ruled by an absolute monarch.

    There are many injustices in the world and we cannot cure them all however meritorious the attempt might be. Back in the day a similiar ideology created a world war and genocide and we all fought against it, but now we are expected to have the same thing imposed upon us. I say no, and I certainly say if you don't like the way things are here, go back where you came from, back to that hell hole you escaped from.

    No Karma freedom of religion is a basic freedom, that is a freedom to believe but not a freedom to act out to the detriment of others, If we do away with religion we have to do away with athiests also because athiestic systems have also caused great harm. Any form of totalitaranism is undesirable and so we come to Islam, a form of totalitaranism with a veneer of a religion, but it is actually a system of being anti something

    There is no difference, we just BELIEVE there is and make it up if it isn't enough difference to claim they are wrong and we are right. Its enough to fight over. That's all they wanted in the first place.

    God has nothing to do with governess. That's about power, influence, and wealth. Religion or not humans have their own ideas of good orderly direction, and how its applied to daily. Like minds may congregate, or may not, but its an individual choice. Not believe in the gods of another has nothing to do with personal conduct, and belief,or nonbelief is totally irrelevant to human interaction.

    Its actions that are important, not beliefs, I mean who cares what you believe when what you do is more telling. Belief is no better than non belief and are the same sides of the coin until you start to think you are better because of it. An artificial difference at best. Just like all the other differences one can pick out amongst humans.

    I think that's wrong - many guide their behaviours based on words found in a 200+ year old book. They gladly will quote it for you, ad nauseum.

    Anyway I believe in acting locally. Just was switching between the Formula 1 race and the Giro, now I need to get and do stuff, maybe a 50 km ride with a few hills. Plus the kids want to have fun outdoors. Cheers!
