Canada: CBC’s MacNeil bashes Christians
Arthur Weinreb responds to _CBC News: Sunday_ airing the segment “Questions of Faith” on May 23, 2004.
After the segment was shown, the co-hosts, Carole MacNeil and Evan Solomon discussed the issue of religion in politics. MacNeil who never misses a point to show her anti-American bias, worried that we might end up like the United States where powerful lobby groups would try to impose their religious views over the constitution and the will of democracy. She was espousing the CBC’s position that freedom of speech and freedom of expression is the freedom to express those views that they agree with. Apparently gays and lesbians can have lobby groups but Christians can’t. That would be just too scary.
MacNeil then said to Solomon:
” But you know never in this country in recent memory did we have such a clash that had a lot to do with religion as the issue of gay rights. And in the end the federal government had to change its approach and send another question to the Supreme Court. I won’t get into the heavy details but they had to change it because 40 some percent of this country was opposed to gay marriage and as a result a lot of those people were looking to their bibles to make the justification for their position on gay marriage so it wasn’t an issue that was driven by politicians who were religious; it was an issue that was driven by the electorate that was using a religious based argument for what they wanted the government to do. [Emphasis added]
MacNeil was making the argument that no one, especially those Christians, do not have any deeply held religious beliefs, specifically about gay marriage. They are simply an unenlightened bunch of people with bigoted viewpoints who use their Bibles to back up their prejudices.
At least Evan Solomon had enough sense to keep his mouth shut while MacNeil was belittling religious Canadians. Carole MacNeil’s comments were insulting and disgusting. It’s too bad her employers won’t agree

Dear Brother,
I am Zeeshan Javed from Pakistan . I have studied your web site, and I found it the most wonderful site to get right to the True Word of God. My suggestion for you is to create your material in my language of Urdu and Punjabi also. It will bring lots of blessings of the Word of God for the Pakistani and Indian Urdu and Punjabi speaking people. For that purpose, I as a translator will bring your material into Urdu languages and into Punjabi language as well. I will be printing and distributing your material to my people around me. Although it will take your low expenses as well, as fund for the Word of God to reach out to the deserving people. I my self, work on a local radio station also. Many times it becomes difficult for us to keep doing this because of being minorities and because of the lack of the financial resources. I will wait for your response.
Sincerely yours
Zeeshan Javed
