“Christians are perfected Jews”. Is this correct? Do I have the right to say that statement in public or on national television? I have the right to; but as a Canadian I was brought up with respect and was against racism and all other forms of offending people.
After the September 11th bombing on the World Trade Towers in New York City, Ann Coulter stated that “We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity.” With her extreme right wing opinions her visit to Canada has caused a huge uproar. She attempted to speak at Ottawa University but was not able to because of security measures and she felt unsafe. Canadians in general have been agaisnt her political views and religious views. It is not appropriate if she comes here and speaks her mind; her views are distorted and her facts aren’t straight. She opinions are disrespectful, ignorant and she should have consquences for her extreme negelgence of peoples feelings.
In section 2(b) of the Canadian Charter of Rights Act, everyone has the right to express freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression. So technnically she is staying in the Canadian laws but thinking outside the box and being very contraversal about it.
