But the people, the Muslims themselves, DO NOT HAVE the fantasy ideology that you project on them. The terrorists are a handful of whackos with an ideology that has nothing to do with Islam.

What you're inventing is not a wheel. It's fiction.
Have you ever actually met a Muslim?

So how have you "proved" that they have an evil ideology?

And free speech, and arming yourself, and assembly, etc. Those are natural rights that every human has regardless of any constitution existing or not.
Arming yourself is not seen as a "natural right" in most places outside the US.

As I understand it, in Canadian law (and most civilized jurisdictions) self-defense is not a "natural right" but a mitigating factor - i.e. your punishment may be less if you acted in self-defense.

Section 34 of the Criminal Code of Canada is explicit in justifying you defending yourself from unlawful assault.
Indeed, the key words being "Criminal Code". It is not a "natural right". It is a defense that can be used if YOU are charged with a crime.

Re: jurisdiction
NoNukes writes:
Ringo, your original claim included the idea that under Canadian law, self-defense was a mitigating factor that could reduce your penalty under the law. That claim was wrong.
That's a nice assertion but an empty one. Try harder.
NoNukes writes:
Beyond that, if you cannot be charged with a crime, then quite obviously self-defense was not an issue, right?
That's exactly the point. If you're charged with shooting somebody, you can claim self-defense - and if the court accepts your claim your penalty may be less.
NoNukes writes:
... self-defense being used if you are charged with a crime is exactly the same as the state of affairs in the United States.
I didn't say otherwise. I only used Canada as an example because I am more aware of Canadian courts' response to self-defense claims.
NoNukes writes:
when self-defense applies, it completely excuses the use of force;
No it doesn't. A self-defense claim is not a magical on/off switch. The courts don't decide that it absolutely was or was not self-defense. They take the reasonable likelihood of self-defense into account when making a decision.
NoNukes writes:
Not natural law? Who cares?
It was just a nitpick. You can unbunch your panties any time.

Re: jurisdiction
NoNukes writes:
Now, are you willing to support your claim that the law only mitigates your criminal liability rather than excusing it with something other than assertion?
Your quote does it for me. The court must decide on intent to cause death, on how much force was necessary, on whether or not there was reasonable apprehension of death, on whether his belief was based on reasonable grounds....
It isn't black and white. The court has to decide on a shade of gray. That's mitigation.

What do you think justification means?
Justification is not an eraser.

Sabotage is illegal. Challenging an executive order is not. In a democracy, executive orders should be challenged routinely.
