Terry Fox... Asshole.. read on
Taken from a friends site:
Was Terry Fox a Muslim? A matter of perspective, by Jeremy Noonan. Ahh yes, Terry Fox. Highschool basketball player, long distance runner, cancer victim, and (this I bet you didn't know) - a devout follower of long-standing Middle Eastern religion. You might find youself wondering if this is actually true, and to be honest? I really don't know - but the facts sure do support the argument. Let me tell you a story that was told to me by a good friend of mine. Her mother growing up, went to school with Terry Fox. And all the time, Terry Fox would end up throwing rocks/stones at this poor girl. I mean really :: who the fuck throws rocks at another human being? Rocks. Heavy, bludgeoning, rather dangerous projectiles? Terry Fox does (read: *did*)! I first told this to a few friends of mine, who ruled it out as one person's story against the "portait of a hero". WRONG. I have since done some research, and this kind of cruelty towards women that Terry Fox displayed was more widespread than I thought. All sorts of stories from people who grew up with him, went to school with him began surfacing. Apparently my friend's mother wasn't the only one who got the same vicious treatment! As described here , stoning for the most part has been abandoned as a form of punishment by most cultures. In fact it is mostly only prevelant in the Middle East, where stoning is still a major form of capital punishment. So, his actions lead me to believe that he is practicing something based on Eastern Islamic belief. What's worse is Terry has done it in a Western culture, where despite our accepting society allowing believers of all religions to practice their faith, it does not supercede national/provincial/civic law. Especially so, in a country that does not implement capital punishment (which is what this is in other regions that practice this). To sum it all up:
Let's get this straight. If he wasn't Muslim, is he instead running because of some karmaic realization that "Hey, I was a total jerk to random girls, and now that I've lost a leg and will die soon after, I should run for the 'greater good?'". Pity-seeking asshat. What about when he's grinning? Is it because people were throwing themselves at him, so compelled by his "determination" that they were willing to lay down money, food, clothing, and everything else just so some guy that threw rocks at girls can run around, touring the country? Gee, I wish people paid for *my* vacation and recreational expenses. Dear post-mortem Terry Fox. You're a colossal asshole, and with each passing year, more and more people are going to realize it. I hope your parents find out what you did before they themselves kick the bucket. Jerk. |

uhhh, i met his parents hes not muslim...
im not saying he didnt do any of this shit but really shit happens in school everyone does shit they regret. the point is he raised a hell of alot of money for cancer research and still does! this post is sick |

who cares what he did if its true.. all that matters is what his name stands for today.. Every year hundreds of thousands of people get together to raise money for cancer. It brings us closer and helps one another. I dont know why people would bother writing such a thing even if it is true. The good out weighs everything else anyways.

I thought this post was effin hilarious, i think you kids need to lighten up a little. Everyone has skeleton's, and Terry Fox was just trying to make up for his by becoming this "hero" Michael Jackson gave millions away to charity but did anyone remember this when he was accussed of child molestation? same sorta thing just reversed because he was a hero after instead of before he screwed up...looks like Wayne Gretzky is the only remaining canadian "hero"

you're joking right?
honestly! who wrote this? wow so many spelling mistakes! obviously it already tells me a lot about the person that wrote it. seems its all bullshit. i honestly think the things he did, are outstanding! and if he did do something to hurt anyone, must of been wayyy before he even had cancer and still was a teenager! anyway, this is bazaar! and I don’t think I agree with the author!

personally.. as a victim of bullying..
if he did do this to people.. he's jus a coward trying to make things right in the end.. but thats jus my opinion.. and maybe the fact that i went to about 16 different schools in my life.. and half the switching was becuz of bullying.. so i guess u can say im cold. if it's not true.. then i take what i said back. |

so because Terry Fox threw some rocks at a girl when he was a kid, he ran across the country to make up for it and it made him a muslim?

okay i apologize.......the *nod* was mean. i just honestly don't feel bad for people that feel sorry for themselves. and maybe i read wrong and that's not what you were trying to sound like. i just think its dumb to say that because he bullied someone that he's not a hero for everything else he did. one thing doesn't cancel out thousands of other positive things. i'm not coldhearted.........i'm blunt |
