This will be a multi-part series but the answer is quite simple to those who know historical fact from what they see on TV or read in the newspapers. The latest example comes from Syria where we are still told the terrorism that has gripped Syria since 2011 was the result of peaceful protests and a desire for change. What is happening in Syria is part of long-term colonization and a fight for resources which the Middle East possesses. Unfortunately for the colonizers there...

There are two answers to this two part question and the answers really come down to a factual basis and also separating actions from the teachings of any religion including Islam. I say this because in the world there are examples of people who are of certain religions or professions that disgrace the rest and incorrect and harmful actions can't be used to stereotype or prejudice an entire group. To find the answer you need to look into the larger picture and have an understanding...
I am very saddened at the violence in Xinjiang, where fellow Chinese (Han and Uighur) have been fighting amongst each other. I hope that the people of Xinjiang will not fall into the trap and violence that was set by separtists. Regardless of your ethnic background, China has the policy that "everyone is Chinese" and that achieving peace and harmony can only be done through equal treatment of all citizens. I also do not think it is fair to villify Uighurs ...

My response to a viewpoint comment on the Jim Reed article - The revaluing of a society http://www.cbc.ca/news/viewpoint/vp_reed/20050727.html I have to say Mr. Reed's article was well researched and well thought out and is a nice balance compared to American biased media that attempts to paint today's conflicts as a black and white, west versus east or Islam versus the world picture which could not be further from the truth.

My response to a viewpoint article from Tom Velk on CBC http://www.cbc.ca/news/viewpoint/vp_velk/20050805.html I agree that countries should not allow hate-mongering and other illegal activities from any people but to point the finger at every immigrant and belittle Islam while ignoring other forms of terrorism and the true causes is irresponsible and anti-Islamic in nature. Throughout the world, whether it be the news or on-line forums, people are quick to ...
