Harper on Israel: passionate, sincere — and right
After Stephen Harper’s speech to the Knesset, we can perhaps put one idea to rest: the notion that his government’s unwavering support for the state of Israel is mere politics, aimed at sewing up the Jewish vote and little else. I have been watching Harper for 20 years. This was Harper to the core, as passionate, sincere and unequivocal as I’ve ever seen him. He said it because he meant it. And, by and large, he was right.
 Canada Takes Its Place at the Table by Caroline Glick
Until Harper came along, Canada’s foreign policy was mainly characterized by Ottawa’s enthusiasm for all UN-related things. But Canada’s involvement in the UN never bought it a place at the table. Down south in Washington, to the extent anyone thought about Canada at all outside the contexts of oil, beer and hockey, it was considered a run-of-the-mill NATO ally which occasionally expressed mild hostility to US power. Under Harper’s leadership, Canada has become a player in the global arena for the first time. And this achievement owes in large part to his decision to support Israel.

Canada's Prime Minister: A Display of Rare Courage by Salim Mansur
Academics such as Peter Jones, writing in Canada's national newspaper, The Globe and Mail, sneers how the Harper "Conservatives hew to the dictates of the Israeli right in hopes of securing votes in Canada." What remains unexplained, however, is how this support for Israel is politically calculated to be a winner for the Conservatives, when Muslims in Canada outnumber Jews by almost three to one.
Canada's embrace of Israel transcends politics and is ethically grounded on moral principles. As Harper stated, "Canada supports Israel fundamentally because it is right to do so," because "the special relationship between Canada and Israel is rooted in shared values."
Does the National Council of Canadian Muslims really have ties to Hamas?
The National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM), the Canadian branch of the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), demanded that Prime Minister Steven Harper drop Rabbi Daniel Korobkin from a delegation traveling to Israel because Korobkin committed the cardinal sin of introducing Pamela Geller and me at an event last September in Toronto. The Prime Minister's office responded by noting the NCCM's ties to Hamas, whereupon the NCCM threatened to sue.
So does the NCCM have ties to Hamas or not? The superb Canadian site Point de Bascule answers: "Prime Minister Harper's director of communications slams the National Council of Canadian Muslims for 'documented ties to a terrorist organization such as Hamas,'" from Point de Bascule, January 17:
Canadian PM Blasts CAIR-Canada for Ties to Hamas
The Office of Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper has responded to criticism from the Canadian affiliate of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) by pointing to its “documented ties” to the Hamas terrorist group. CAIR's ties to Hamas are fully documented. That is not slander or libel, as CAIR says. Rather, it is the truth that CAIR wants to disguise.

Robert Spencer discusses how Hamas-linked CAIR’s “Islamophobia”-mongering is designed — with surpassing cynicism — to make Americans think that any criticism of Islamic texts that jihadis use to incite violence worldwide threatens and endangers Muslims at home who don’t approve of that violence in the first place.

France Recognizes the Islamic Threat
France continues to take a strong stance against the spread of Islamic terrorism in general and the groups associated with al-Qaeda in particular. The United States and the UN should pay attention.
Japan's Whaling Ship, Used For 'Scientific Research,' Gets Halal Food Certification
Japan's whaling mothership has been awarded a halal certificate to prove the whales it takes from the Antarctic Ocean are slaughtered in accordance with Muslim law, a company spokesman said Wednesday.
New Jersey: Muslim freed from pipe at water treatment plant, faces criminal charges
The jihad threat to the water supply is real. And as far back as 2002, the feds arrested two jihadis who were carrying plans about how to poison water supplies. In 2003, al-Qaeda threatened to poison water supplies in Western countries. In 2011, a jihadi in Spain likewise planned to poison water supplies.
A Pakistani Muslim cleric has said that polio vaccinations are un-Islamic. And such “extremist” clerics are not just in Pakistan: in Nigeria, a Muslim cleric was arrested for playing a role in sparking the murders of polio workers. These murders are driven by Islamic supremacist conspiracy paranoia
This is the kind of story that mainstream analysts in the West leave their hearers totally unequipped to understand. The line on Sharia in the West is that it is completely benign, and anyway, impossible to characterize: “Reza Aslan recalled a saying that likened the Sharia to water, since “it takes the form of any vessel it is poured into.”
UK Islamic group condemns website featuring cartoons of Prophet Mohamed and Jesus
The Muslim Association of Britain (MAB) published a statement saying that the images were "extremely offensive to believers" of the two faiths and "potentially inflammatory," and urged the website's operators to take down the comics at once.

UK: Murders, rapes, honor killings, FGM going unreported in Sharia no-go zones
Sharia is indeed the future of the UK. The British government is deathly afraid of the Islamic supremacists, unwilling to confront them, and allowing these Sharia districts to expand without the slightest resistance. They ban foes of jihad terror such as Pamela Geller and me from entering the country, cooperate at the government level with Islamic groups that have ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas, and are in hundreds of ways hastening their own destruction and subjugation.
Stop jerking Canada around by Charles Krauthammer
Canada, the Saudi Arabia of oil sands, is committed to developing this priceless resource. Its natural export partner is the United States. But crossing the border requires State Department approval, which means the president decides yes or no. Canadians may be preternaturally measured and polite, but they simply can’t believe how they’ve been treated by President Obama — left hanging humiliatingly on an issue whose merits were settled years ago. If Obama wants to cave to his environmental left, fine. But why keep Canada in limbo? It’s a show of supreme and undeserved disrespect for yet another ally.
