Stoned Women

There is a small town about 100 miles northeast of Montréal, in Quebec, Canada named Herouxville, population 1,323. Their town Council has posted a declaration on the town’s website. The declaration is to inform new immigrants as to what will not be tolerated in this small Quebec town.

The declaration states: "We wish to inform these new arrivals that the way of life which they abandoned when they left their countries of origin cannot be recreated here." How many new arrivals can this small town have? And why would anyone want to immigrate to a French speaking town in the frigid part of Quebec Province?

The declaration goes on to say "Therefore we consider it completely outside these norms to kill women by stoning them in public, burning them alive, burning them with acid, circumcising them etc." This is very strong language coming from French Canadians.

Who are they targeting? Which nationality or religion is best known for “the stoning of women and burning them alive”? And again, why would people who are known for these grievous acts want to immigrate to this small Canadian town?

These small town French Canadians are profiling their émigrés. Which is a very politically incorrect thing to do and therefore I love it. But isn’t it against the laws of most countries to stone or burn women (or any human) to death.

We should all take the same stand on human rights that the small town of Herouxville, Quebec has done. If you want to live here, you must assimilate into our culture and abide by the norms of our society. This is not your native country or your homeland; therefore you must learn our customs and mores.

If you have a compelling desire to stone or burn your women; then go back to your home country where it is legal to do so.
