When will the Canadian police return to treating thugs like thugs and citizens with respect by protecting good people against the thugs? It seems that in places where there have been recent protests such as Caledonia, parts of Quebec, and many other places across Canada, violent protestors are treated with respect under the umbrella of a policy of appeasement. Conversely, those who find the actions of thugs questionable and want to express their concern by showing up at protests are targeted by police.
As a member of The Never Again Group, as a former teacher and as a proud citizen of Canada I am appalled by the intolerance, hate, and incitement going on in Toronto’s East End Madrassah and in other Islamic “schools” and mosques throughout Canada.
Canada has a fairly tough and effective set of anti-terrorism laws, provided that a terrorist belongs to an entity listed by the Canadian government to which these laws are deliberately applied. Canada has listed al Qaeda and Hezbollah, among other Islamic groups. Putting the Tamil Tigers on the list in 2006 helped bring an end to that group by making it impossible for them to continue to raise funds in Canada. When the Islamic Republic of Iran was established in 1979, its leader, the Ayatollah Khomeini, formed an organization called the “Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps” (IRGC). Its major goal is the protection of the Islamic system of Iran from uprisings and internal dissident, not the protection of the Iranian people. The IRGC also causes instability outside Iran. Given what is known about the IRGC, why aren’t they on the Canadian list of terrorist entities? The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps consist of:
A jury on Sunday found three members of an Afghan family guilty of killing three teenage sisters and another woman in what the judge described as “cold-blooded, shameful murders” resulting from a “twisted concept of honor,” ending a case that shocked and riveted Canadians.
Prosecutors said the defendants allegedly killed the three teenage sisters because they dishonored the family by defying its disciplinarian rules on dress, dating, socializing and using the Internet. …
I nearly burst out laughing when I heard a Canadian “occupier” say that this occupation movement started in the Middle East and spread from there to Wall Street and on to Toronto. It struck me humorous on many levels, but frightening as well, starting with the fact that the Left formerly regarded “occupation” as a bad thing but now they have adopted the concept and look upon it as the right of the “99 percenters” to protest over the fact that they cannot live like a Bill Gates, Warren Buffet or the King of Saudi Arabia. Union leaders like Sid Ryan, a big supporter of the occupiers, should also be (but are not) placed in the greedy column by the mobs. Leftists seem to be immune from their own criticism. Occupation has been a derogatory term coined by leftists and Islamists to beat up on Israel and America and so I wonder why they chose to call themselves occupiers. They disingenuously strive to identify with the protestors in Egypt. The occupiers apparently do not take notice of the fact that the Muslim Brotherhood looks poised to take control of Egypt: Christians are being run down and killed in the streets by Islamists and the military; the Israeli embassy has been sacked; gas pipelines blown up; and peace agreements denounced. It is a country headed for disaster. Is this the model that the “occupiers” aspire to?
Over the past few months, a “mosque” in Toronto has inspired quite a hubbub in the blogosphere and Canadian press, even prompting demonstrations, including some in September. As in many mosques, the genders are segregated, with males sitting in the front and females in the back, but it is the location of the “mosque” — a public school — that initiated the controversy. The Valley Park Middle School basically converts its cafeteria to a temporary mosque in which Muslim students hold Friday (jum’ah) prayers.
For years, Islamic extremists and radicals have endangered the safety of various countries of the world, specifically in the Middle East, but also in European and North American countries. Through terrorist activities and inhumane practices, Islamic extremists have created numerous victims in their own Islamic countries, as well as in the countries to which they have migrated. Among other factors, the lax immigration laws, especially in Canada, have enabled the spread of terrorist activity. Canada has not faced a deadly terrorist attack yet; however, terrorist attacks have already been planned for Canada and prevented by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS). It is only a matter of time before the CSIS is unable to prevent an attack from happening.
The far left of center Canadian New Democratic Party (NDP) has been an option that a minority of voters in Canada considered seriously. Federally, they have never been in power and, of the three main parties (Conservative, Liberal and NDP), the NDP always came in third. Provincially they have held power in Ontario, Saskatchewan, British Columbia, Nova Scotia and partially in the Yukon.
All forms of mass murder and terrorism are evil and repugnant, whatever the source, whether from Tim McVeigh, Anders Behring Breivik, a German Third Reich gone mad under Hitler or a huge representative group of Islamists who think that their holy books command them to commit violent jihad against the infidels. The Islamist situation dominates the terror scene today notwithstanding the exceptions such as this recent insane mass murder by Breivik in Norway. Yet the mainstream media (MSM) go out of their way to avoid using terms like “terrorism” (banned by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation or “CBC” in Canada) and the Obama administration (specifically Janet Napolitano) has advised the government to use “man-caused disaster” so as not to offend Muslims by stating the truth about terrorism and calling it what it actually is. This manipulation of truth and language is a tactic to close debate and discussion about immigration, Islamic terrorism, misogyny, sharia, and jihad. In a similar way, debate is being closed down by labeling this tragedy a right-wing Christian conspiracy.
Order yours today, a limited time offer: “For donations of $100 or more… a Canadian union made t-shirt… for supporting the Canada Boat to Gaza. Together, we can break the siege!” This quote is from a website, “Canadian Boat to Gaza,” specifically designed for raising funds for a group recognized by Canada as terrorists — Hamas. The website points to an NGO called “Alternatives” that has, according to the group, “worked for human rights and justice in the Middle East for many years and is recognized by CIDA.” CIDA is the Canadian International Development Agency.
In February 2011, the news media reported that the screening of the controversial documentary, “Iranium,” had been banned in Ottawa due to pressure and threats from the Islamic Republic of Iran’s embassy. Despite all the threats, the documentary was shown in two different places such as Archives Canada in Ottawa and York University in Toronto and many citizens including students lined up to form their own opinions. The fact that this documentary made the Islamic Republic of Iran’s embassy concerned is a disclosure of the true face of this brutal government’s desire to procure nuclear weapons, its support of terrorism, and its violations of the basic human rights of the Iranian people during 31 years of its existence. But the most shocking aspect is: How is it possible that an embassy of a foreign government (that being Iran) that is isolated in the international arena and has the highest number of opponents among its citizens (within Iran and abroad) can exert its control over the Canadian government?
The Islamic Society of North America’s Canada branch, Jesse McLean of the Toronto Star reports in “Muslim charity squandered money for poor,” has engaged in gross mismanagement. A 2010 audit of the prior four years carried out on behalf of the ISNA Canada board found that of C$810,777 collected in a special pool of Zakat and Fitrah money for “helping needy Muslims not only in Canada, but all over the World”, less than one-quarter, or $196,460 actually went to the poor. The remaining $614,000 went for what the audit delicately calls “administration of the centre” by its 30-plus-year Secretary General Mohammad Ashraf, a 73-year-old microbiologist.
… The Abacus poll also showed that Canadians have strong opinions on the question of integrating immigrants. A majority of those born in Canada (71%) and those born outside of the country (65%) agree with the statement: “Too many recent immigrants don’t want to fit into Canadian society.” …
Canada is one of my favorite countries, and I travel there constantly. It is truly one of the world’s great liberal democracies. I’m using “liberal” in the traditional sense, meaning open-minded and democratic. Well, Canada got a bit too “progressive,” and because of things like failed Islamist bomb plots and “honor” murders, Canadians have moved towards the center, for example, re-electing a prime minister (Stephen Harper) who is a staunch supporter of Israel.
According to the poll reported on by the Toronto Sun (noted above):
… But when Israel, the only country in the world whose very existence is under attack, is consistently and conspicuously singled out for condemnation, I believe we are morally obligated to take a stand. Demonization, double standards, delegitimization — the three “D’s” — it is the responsibility of us all to stand up to them. …
The Globe and Mail has a problem with a reporter, Patrick Martin, who doesn’t know and/or doesn’t care about the difference between editorializing and news. He recently wrote an anti-Israeli rant in the “World -> News -> Africa-Mideast” section of the Globe and Mail. He’s completely wrong about Israel’s standing in the world, and HonestReporting tells us why, and in great detail:
… A recent violator of the most basic precepts of neutral and objective reporting comes from the Globe and Mail’s Mideast bureau chief, Patrick Martin, for his engagement in anti-Israel advocacy journalism. …
