Before The Conservatives Come Out In Favour Of The Wearing Of The Niqab and The Burka whenever and wherever a Muslim Woman wishes.
I say that because just the other day, the Tories unceremoniously dumped their Toronto Area Sikh Candidate – Jagdish Grawal from their list of candidates for the October 19th Election.
Grawal’s offence was that he had written an article supporting the proposition that homosexuals could be medically treated to transition them into heterosexuals.
His position was based upon his religious belief that the state of homosexuality is not normal.
Many Christian Faiths – as well as the Muslim Faith – share his belief.
Grawal was not saying – that Homosexuals were not equal to Heterosexuals or that they are deserving of discrimination. He was saying that Homosexuality is not normal.
Nor is it; certainly not in the statistical sense.
Statistics show that only 2% of the world’s population consider themselves to be homosexual. (One would think otherwise, given the Media’s propensity to depict homosexuality the norm). But the ‘norm’ would have to go to those 98% who deem themselves to be heterosexual.
It is though a very emotional topic and I really do not like dealing with it – but I believe I have to since I foresee the day coming when it is just not candidates like Grawal who are punished for their thoughts and their religious views – but our Church leaders will soon find themselves on the wrong side of this Politically Correct Equation.
Indeed, one Catholic Priest in Calgary has already been prohibited by the State from preaching passages of the Bible which condemn the practice of homosexuality.
So to sum up, if Grawal was calling for the beheading of homosexuals – course he should be condemned for his hateful speech.
But to simply have a personal and/or religious belief that Homosexuality is not normal and to be punished for it - begs the question of whatever happened to the Rights of Free Speech, Expression and Religion the corner stones of a free and vibrant society.
So if you are still wondering why Donald Trump is making such a big splash in the Republican Presidential Race – look no further than to Politically Correct Decisions like Mr. Grawal’s.
As I see it…
