“We are a great country, and shall become one
of the greatest in the universe if we preserve
it. We shall sink into insignificance and
adversity if we suffer it to be broken.”
~ Sir John A. Macdonald ~
What
does it mean to suffer one's country to be broken? It may mean giving aid and
cover to its enemies. It may include looking the other way while those
dedicated to its destruction gain a toehold in major national institutions. It
may mean making excuses for those who hate the country by saying that they
don't really mean their treasonous words, or are really victims of bigotry and
misfortune, or are mentally ill. It may include thinking that all is well
merely because our cultural elites and opinion-makers say it is.
Radical
Islam is on the march throughout the world, and Canada is not immune to its
threat. Jihad has come to our shores in a double-pronged movement: violent
attack to make us afraid, and "peaceful" integration to lull us into
false complacency. This newsletter collects the voices of those who are
sounding the alarm, warning us that we cannot give over the protection of our
country to anyone, not even those such as the RCMP who are ostensibly committed
to saving us: they have already been penetrated by the enemy in multiple ways.
Please read this newsletter carefully and pledge yourself to the protection of
our way of life.
Canada
is not immune From terrorist attacks
Canadian
Jihad, Abroad and at Home
In the competition to see which Western country can send the most jihad
fighters to the Middle East, Finland, Britain, and Belgium have recently been
mentioned as contenders for the title of “Greatest Supporter of Jihad”.
However, it may come as a surprise to most readers that, on a per capita basis,
Canada incubates, radicalizes and sends out more mujahideen to join not just
the Syrian front but every battlefield where ISIS is fighting, or where there
is an Al Qaeda franchise. Americans may also be unaware that a lot of people in
influential positions in major American Muslim Brotherhood affiliates —
including Jamal Badawi, Ingrid Mattson and even Ibrahim Hooper — are Canadian
nationals.
On guard for terrorist attack by David Harris
The NBC report in the United States that “intelligence officials tell NBC News that Canadian authorities have heard would-be terrorists discussing potential ISIS-inspired ‘knife and gun’ attacks against U.S. and Canadian targets inside Canada” and that “both U.S. and Canadian officials fear the beheading of an innocent person in a public place, or the slashing of citizens on a crowded street until police arrive to shoot and martyr the terrorists” has scared people to no end. The director of the International Intelligence Program for INSIGNIS Strategic Research Inc. and a former senior manager at CSIS says the questions are not where, what or who, but when? “As you know, the fact is that this kind of slashing, shooting suicide attack is coming whether or not the NBC version is accurate,” David B. Harris warned Thursday
Radical Islam is on the March in Canada
Two terror trials unfolding on Canadian soil
should cause enough concern over the spread of radical Islam in Canada. Both
Chiheb Esseghaier and Dr. Khurram Sher, the pathologist and former Canadian
Idol contestant, have openly ranted against Canada. But there’s also another
more insidious form of Islamism at play in Canadian universities and public
institutions that some of us may shrug off as innocuous.
Suicide bombers in
Canada?
U.S. SEAL operators found documents targeting
Canada and a few other nations in Osama bin Laden’s lair. All of these
countries have been hit, except Canada. And there’s no end to the Islamist
hatred within our borders. Media reports revealed wives of Toronto 18
mass-terror accused held Canadians in searing contempt: “this filthy country,”
was the best one could say about it. Another unsuccessfully tried to include as
a condition of her marriage an undertaking that hubby would hit the jihad trail
at the first opportunity.
Don’t blame Canada for home-grown terror. Blame the terrorists
Until the
events of Oct. 22, it had become something of a national myth, like
multiculturalism and Medicare, that Canada was immune to the effects of
terrorism. If the killing of two soldiers was not enough, recall that in 2006,
18 members of a cell in Scarborough and Mississauga were arrested for plotting
to shoot up Parliament and behead the prime minister
Terrorism,
defined here as violence inflicted on innocent people for political ends, is
not new to Canada, the West, or the world. The Muslim world deals with it on a
routine basis. But shouting terrorism in the crowded public theatres of Twitter
and Facebook can be counterproductive when the identity and motives of the
suspect are unknown. In the case of the Toronto dropouts-turned-jihadists, and
the Ottawa shooter, a powerful stew of extremist ideology, personal pathology,
and illusive dreams of violent glory, coupled with selective readings of the
Qur’an, long preceded the bullets and bombs.
Is Canada an Unofficial State Sponsor of Terrorism?
Canada has inadvertently provided
fertile ground for incubating terrorists and exporting them around the world by
overtly failing to respond to the groups living and operating within the
country. As far back as 1998, CSIS director Ward Elcock testified that Canada
was developing the reputation of being a terrorist haven. “We cannot become,”
he asserted, “through inaction or otherwise, what might be called an unofficial
state sponsor of terrorism.”
The RCMP and CSIS
Have They Been Penetrated?
Handbook to prevent radicalization of Muslims released in Canada
When the
handbook was first released, the RCMP, who do use terms such as “Islamic
terrorists” to describe, well, Islamic terrorists, denied knowing what was in
it other than the part the force contributed. Despite having its logo proudly
described on the handbook, the Mounties are now trying to distance themselves
from the publication they proudly were a part of.
After its
release, someone in the RCMP decided to read the whole thing. A media relations
officer, Sgt. Greg Cox, sent out a news release saying
the RCMP does not support the “adversarial tone” of the handbook and will not
proceed with the initiative.
Although
the handbook does pay lip service to radicalization, it is nothing more than an
attempt by Muslims in Canada, with the aid of the federal police force, to make
it politically incorrect to equate the terrorism that poses a significant
threat to Canada and the West with Islam.
Canadian Watchdog Report Chastises RCMP for Islamist Engagement
The report shows that the RCMP has fallen into the same trap as some U.S. law enforcement agencies in that they have established close relations with radical Islamist groups who pretend to be moderate. The danger is that the RCMP legitimizes militant groups and radicals who should be shunned rather than dignified as respected moderate allies of the Canadian government in its war against war against Islamic terrorism. By embracing Islamic extremists who masquerade as moderates, the RCMP effectively has ostracized genuine Islamic moderates in Canada who deserve recognition for their courage in speaking out against the terrorists.
The RCMP throws the so-called anti-terrorism
booklet back at the National Council of Canadian Muslims and its Islamist
allies
In spite of
having tried to associate the RCMP to many radical Muslim scholars on page 13
of her booklet, including two, Siraj Wahaj and Hamza Yusuf, who have
defended a cop-killer in the U.S., Shahina Siddiqui is still “a member of the RCMP
Commissioner’s National Advisory Committee on Diversity as well as the RCMP
Commanding Officers’ Diversity Committee, D-Division in Manitoba.”
After many
commentators complained to the RCMP and in the media about its endorsement of a
so-called anti-terrorism booklet praising numerous radical Muslim scholars, the
RCMP issued a press release to officially distance
itself from the document that bears its logo.
Terror's Virus on the Northern Border by David Harris
The Islamic Social Services Association (ISSA), led by Shahina Siddiqui, joins the NCCM and RCMP in authorship on the handbook's cover. Canada's outreach counter-radicalization world seems to be a small, if not inbred, one, for Siddiqui happens also to be a member of both the NCCM's board, and the RCMP's national and Manitoba "diversity" committees.
No wonder many members of the public reacted with disbelief and disgust to the handbook fiasco. Or that RCMP ranks fell into a mass of post-publication panic and confusion. The day after the handbook's roll-out, a blushed-out RCMP, getting desperate enquiries from Canada's now-mortified Office of the Minister of Public Safety, scrambled out a news release. It said that the force was responsible for only one (benign) section of the handbook, and claimed improbably that the "tone" of some of the publication had caused the RCMP to pull out of the project at the last minute. Awfully "last minute," considering it was the day after launch that the RCMP news release emerged.
Tarek Fatah warns PM
Harper that the RCMP is consorting with Islamists in the name of ‘outreach’ in
Ontario
After
the RCMP announced its intention to take part in a panel
discussion) about radicalization with Robert Heft and
Faisal Kutty, two Islamists linked to the Muslim Brotherhood infrastructure in
Canada, Tarek Fatah published many messages on Twitter to denounce the
situation, including one to Prime Minister Harper.
Meet the Islamist group that almost succeeded in riding the coattails of the RCMP: CAIR-Canada or NCCM
“Mr. Gardee does not speak for any Muslim in this country. But he speaks for every Islamist in this country. You have to make the distinction. A Muslim is someone who practices his faith. An Islamist is someone uses the faith to practice fascist politics.”
CSIS limits its investigations to individual Islamists but does not investigate mosques (nor other Islamic institutions)
On October 27, 2014, CSIS Assistant Director Michael Peirce testified in front of the Standing Senate Committee on National Security and Defence. During an exchange with Senator Daniel Lang, Mr. Peirce acknowledged that “There are individuals who are espousing a radical extremist view of Islam,” but he seemed to imply that Islamic institutions, and mosques in particular, are not part of the radicalization problem.

The Muslim Brotherhood in Canada
Muslim
Brotherhood has a ‘significant presence’ in Canada, says study urging probe
into the terror group
Egypt has banned the terrorist
Muslim Brotherhood organization. And with yesterday’s landslide win for Abdel
Sisi in the Egyptian elections, the final nail is in their coffin in that
country .The UK has launched a terror investigation into the Muslim Brotherhood
in that country. And now Canada, quite rightly, is following suit. This report is making national
news today and deservedly so. CAIR-Can, now re-branded as the
NCCM, and named as a Muslim Brotherhood front, is on the warpath about
this article.
KEY JUDGMENTS
· Canada has a significant
presence of Muslim Brotherhood adherent individuals and organizations. Their
values and actions are frequently the antithesis of the Canadian Constitution,
values and law. Despite statements to the contrary, the Muslim Brotherhood considers
itself above local laws and national constitutions.
· The Muslim Brotherhood’s use
of settlement and the “process of civilization jihad” have proven effective.
The long term aim is to globally impose a virulent form of political Islam to the
exclusion of other faiths or systems.
· Internationally, the Muslim
Brotherhood is realigning under pressure as old alliances crumble and
opportunities arise. An aggressive posture is re-emerging which has used
extensive political violence in the past.
· The policy and process of
denial is deeply rooted in the Muslim Brotherhood.
· Muslim Brotherhood adherent
groups should not be given governmental accreditation, access to public grants
nor should they have charity status.
· Canada’s stance against Muslim
Brotherhood adherent organizations in recent years has been more aggressive
than the USA, especially in financial areas.
TERRORISTS IN OUR MIDST: Various groups in Canada have unholy ties with
extremists
The
domestic implications of the Brotherhood’s influence in Canada go beyond
funding terror abroad and the NCCM lawsuit. The mission of the Brotherhood in
the U.S. and Canada is hardly benign. According to the Ikhwan’s "1991
Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Group in North
America," the Brotherhood’s "civilizational jihad" in North
America is focused on "eliminating and destroying the western civilization
from within and sabotaging its miserable house."
Brotherhood Front Groups Target Canadian Parliament
The Saudi Arabian
regime, known for its sympathy for radical Islam, banned the Muslim Brotherhood
as a terrorist organization, but the members of the same organization are
across Canada and engaging the political system. Major Islamic groups in Canada
like the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), the Islamic Circle of North
America (ICNA), the National Council of Canadian-Muslims -- formerly the
Canadian affiliate of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) -- and
others are full of members linked to the Muslim Brotherhood, its
Jamaat-e-Islami sister group and their ideology. Now, these Islamist groups are
moving a step ahead. They are pushing their favored candidates in the
nomination process of major Canadian political parties for the federal election
of 2015.

Muslim
Brotherhood activities need to be probed in Canada, report says
The Canadian
government should consider investigating the activities of the Muslim
Brotherhood, which has entrenched itself in North America and represents a
greater systemic threat than al-Qaeda, according to a newly released report on
the group. “The aim of the group in North America is to weaken and destroy the
free and open societies within Canada and the U.S.A. from within and replace
them with the heavily politicized views of [founder] Hassan Banna, Sayyid
Qutb and the Muslim Brotherhood,” according to the report, entitled The
Muslim Brotherhood in North America (Canada/U.S.).

“Mr. Gardee
doesn’t speak for me,” Tarek Fatah says in a brief interview. Indeed, he
maintains that Gardee and the NCCM don’t speak for any Muslims at all. Rather,
he and his group represent the Islamists, those who are bent on the destruction
of western liberal society even as they espouse liberal principles.“Mr. Gardee
does not speak for any Muslim in this country. But he speaks for every Islamist
in this country. You have to make the distinction. The NCCM, says Fatah, thinks
it can scare people into silence, and what they don’t realize is that such
tactics are backfiring.

Canada:
Do we really want a parallel Sharia Compliant Economic System in the West?
I discovered, quite
by accident, that there is a Muslim based economy developing in Canada: Halal
and Sharia Compliant Investments, with their own laws specific to Sharia law.
It has been developing rather quietly for several years. I found a reference to
the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce and Sharia compliant laws from 2011 on Blogwrath after I had
already lodged my own complaint with CIBC regarding these investments. I never
heard back from CIBC but I did get a notification from Twitter that I was now
being followed by the investment broker whom I had reported. When Pierre Trudeau declared
us to be a multicultural country he wanted Canada to be a country that was
inclusive, tolerant and accommodating to all. But I don’t think he anticipated
that our country would welcome cultures whose practices are anathema to Canadian
laws. Sharia Law,
authoritarian by nature, is not compatible with Canadian culture.

The Averted Via
Rail Attack
Massive RCMP probe stopped Al-Qaeda-linked
conspiracy to derail passenger train: newly released documents
On Sept. 17, 2012, Chiheb Esseghaier and Raed Jaser drove to Jordan
Station, a community in Niagara, Ont., wine country where the Maple Leaf train
crosses a trestle bridge each day on its way from New York to Toronto. Seven
months later, the odd couple — one a Tunisian doctoral student, the other a
school van driver and mover from Abu Dhabi — were arrested over what the RCMP
has called an al-Qaeda-linked plot to derail a passenger train.
In
Their Own Words by Clare Lopez
In an unusual move,
one of the suspects in the 2012-13 Via Railway terror plot has been allowed to
give an interview to the
Canadian National Post. That interview is remarkable because
it explains the jihadist motivations behind the plot in clear and unambiguous
language that leaves no room for doubt about "why they hate us."
Those who would confront and defeat this hate and the terror plots it inspires
would do well to listen to the words of Chiheb Esseghaier.
Prime Minister
Stephen Harper
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
"Israel is the only country in the Middle East
which has long anchored itself in the ideals of freedom, democracy and the rule
of law. And these are not mere notions. They are the things that, over time and
against all odds, have proven to be, over and over again, the only ground in
which human rights, political stability and economic prosperity may
flourish.... through fire and water, Canada will stand with you."
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.
Prime Minister Harper Fires back at Hamas-CAIR: “We will not take
seriously criticism from an organization with documented ties to a terrorist
organization such as Hamas”
Jason MacDonald, the prime
minister’s director of communications, slammed the NCCM — formerly known as the
Canadian Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR-CAN — for even making
the suggestion. “We will not take seriously criticism from an organization with
documented ties to a terrorist organization such as Hamas,” MacDonald said.
Canada: Hamas-linked Muslim
group to proceed with libel suit against PM Harper and spokesman for saying it
was Hamas-linked
This takes
chutzpah. Does the NCCM have ties to Hamas or not? The superb Canadian site Point de Bascule laid it all out when the NCCM first started
threatening to sue. A sampling:
“In order to
understand the context of the PMO’s remarks, it is helpful to go back to the
origins of CAIR-CAN. CAIR-CAN was established as a branch of the
Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) that had itself
been founded by three leaders of a Hamas front group in the United States. In
their answers to FAQs provided when CAIR-CAN became NCCM, NCCM
leaders completely falsified history and claimed that “There was never any
operating or funding relationship between CAIR.CAN and CAIR.” There is never a
shortage of useful idiots.
Canadian
PM Stephen Harper Courageously Slams Hamas’ Terrorism
Canadian Prime
Minister Harper dominates all western political leaders, in terms of his
courageous advocacy of Israel’s right to defend itself with all necessary and
justifiable force. In this area, no western leader can match Harper’s
eloquence, tough-mindedness and principled and articulate vocal opposition to
Hamas’ terrorism. And that unfortunately includes the hapless and sadly”
missing in action” US President Obama.
In the wake of
Israel’s bombing of Gazan missile installations, in reaction to hundreds of
missiles being launched by Hamas at Israeli citizens, Harper recently publicly
remarked that “self defense is not merely an Israeli right to be exercised in
the abstract, but an Israeli obligation that must be defended by all Western
nations.”
Awww…Canadian Muslim whiners upset by Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s
silence about anti-Muslim backlash following Islamic terrorist attacks
Once again playing the ‘victim’ card, Muslim
groups are whining that Stephen Harper hasn’t spoken out against a spike in
alleged anti-Muslim ‘hate crimes’ since separate attacks by Muslim terrorists
left two Canadian soldiers dead on Canadian soil. PM Stephen Harper: “I have
more important things to worry about than Muslim feelings”. She said her group
expects Harper, “as leader of our country, to speak up for the minorities that
live here.” (He does, just not for muslims) “He has a responsibility to
represent everyone and certainly Canadian Muslim communities are extremely
worried about a backlash and I think that needs to be spoken to.” (Stop
terrorizing people all over the world and there won’t be a backlash. Be
happy he doesn’t deport you)
Justin Trudeau
Bad
advice: Think Justin Trudeau’s instincts are scary? Take a look at what two of
his advisers have to say
Trudeau’s
more serious adviser is Omar Alghabra, the Saudi-born former president of the
Canadian Arab Federation who briefly served as an MP from Mississauga. Alghabra
has extreme views. When he was president of the Canadian Arab Federation in
2004, he denounced Canada’s largest newspaper chain for using the term
“terrorist” to describe Muslim terrorist groups like the al-Aqsa Martyrs
Brigade. He said that was a mere opinion, not a fact.
Justin
Trudeau and His Friends at the Terror Mosque
In light of this track record,
it seems abundantly clear that Justin Trudeau’s visit to the Al-Sunnah
Al-Nabawiah Mosque was no aberration, and even if he had known of the mosque’s
terror ties and Islamic supremacist views before his visit, it is not at all
clear that he would have dropped his plans to visit. If he becomes Prime
Minister, Justin Trudeau is likely to be Canada’s Barack Obama: a leader who
panders to Islamic supremacists, appeasing and accommodating them at every
opportunity. Such are Western leaders these days – which is why the West is
heading for disaster.
“I would like to thank the NCCM for
organizing tonight’s dinner, which seeks to foster new and lasting friendships
that support Canadian Muslims, as well as strengthens the multicultural fabric of
this country. Moving forward, it is essential to have events such as tonight’s,
which highlight the historical challenges that Muslim-Canadians have overcome,
and the many contributions they have made, and continue to make, to Canada’s
landscape.” – Justin Trudeau
Justin
Trudeau’s aversion to the word ‘barbaric’
Although those on
the far left are known for their moral equivalence, unlike politicians who are
unable to make clear and unequivocal statements, the “hair apparent,” said
exactly what he meant. Practices such as female genital mutilation and honour
killings should not be criticized even when the victims are Canadian citizens.
People who commit these heinous acts (sorry, Justin), should be sympathized
with because they are carrying out their own culture which is no worse than the
culture of Canada or the civilized West. Mutilate away.
The boy wonder was
shocked his comments created an uproar. He has no appreciation of the views of
most Canadians who abhor these practices and believe, rightfully so, they have
no place in Canada. The simple fact that Trudeau spends a lot of time in
mosques, pandering to Muslims including radical Islamists in order to get votes
cannot excuse his extreme un-Canadian views.
Justin Trudeau: Courting the Extremist
Vote
Justin Trudeau doesn’t
campaign a lot in churches these days. Not since he announced his ban on
Liberal candidates who are pro-life Christians. Trudeau doesn’t spend much time
in Jewish synagogues either, other than the occasional fundraiser. But he
always makes time to visit a mosque during his travels. It’s his central ethnic
outreach strategy.
Justin Trudeau jokes about war and Canada’s military
Trudeau
lacks the street smarts and the real life experience to understand there is
evil in the world that has to be stopped. And he lacks the intellect to
understand the complex area of foreign affairs. So he ends up making insulting
jokes about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and making light of the brutality of the
Islamic State. There is no doubt, Trudeau does not know enough to realize how
his crude joke about whipping out the CF-18s, was insulting. He is way too
immature to know that. Justin Trudeau is not fit to become prime minister of
Canada. It is not a matter of ideology, but of a complete lack of comprehension
of the world around him and the dangers Canada faces.
Trudeau defends visit to controversial Montreal mosque
"For me the visit to the mosque is part of my job to promote a
message of openness and respect," he said. "If there are concerns
about one community or another it’s even more important to not marginalize
them. These are Canadians and they deserve to be visited by Canadian
politicians."
The fuss over Justin Trudeau’s Park Ex mosque visit is
unwarranted
The
Montreal Gazette: Opinion Piece by Ihsaan Gardee, executive director of the
National Council of Canadian Muslims.
Letter sent to the Gazette in response to the above
article:
After Justin Trudeau was
criticized for visiting what he acknowledged to be “a Wahhabi mosque” in
Montreal in 2011, and for declaring himself proud of it in Calgary in 2013,
Ihsaan Gardee, the Executive Director of the National Council of Canadian
Muslims (NCCM), came to the Liberal leader’s defence in The Gazette last
Thursday. Gardee argued that this was no big deal because politicians from
other parties had also visited the place before.
When Trudeau was
criticized in 2012 after confirming his participation in the Reviving the
Islamic Spirit convention in spite of the fact that the event was sponsored by
the terrorist organization Hamas’ fund collector in Canada, the organizers took
the same line of defence. They highlighted that PM Harper had sent a
congratulatory statement to the convention in 2011 and that RCMP Commissioner
Zaccardelli had addressed the event in 2004.
Unfortunately, contrary to
what Gardee implies, lack of due diligence by politicians belonging to
competing parties do not cancel each other out; they compound. This type of
public endorsement makes it all the more difficult for civil servants to revoke
the charity status of Islamist organizations whenever needed and sometimes to
stop funding them.
Before the leak of a U.S.
Department of Defence report identifying the Assunah mosque as an Al-Qaeda
recruitment centre in 2011, it was the subject of a documentary by the French
CBC in 2006. A journalist infiltrated the mosque and recorded the imam who
concluded his Friday sermon by saying: “Allah, kill all the enemies of Islam to
the last one”. Books available at the mosque advocated the killing of Muslims
who do not practice their religion, depicted Jews as they were in the Nazi
cartoons of the thirties and described one objective of jihad as being the
“terrorizing” of unbelievers “in order to humiliate them”.
The Assunah mosque has a
charitable status with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). For the 2006-2010
period alone, it transferred $370,951 to IRFAN, Hamas’ fund collector in
Canada. IRFAN’s charitable status was revoked in April 2011 after the CRA
determined that it transferred $14.6 million to Hamas for the 2005-2009 period
alone. In 2014, the Government of Canada listed IRFAN as a terrorist
organization.
In his letter to the
Gazette, Ihsaan Gardee commented that “If violent extremism is being initiated
or promoted within a place of worship, then swift law enforcement action is
warranted”. This is completely disingenuous on Gardee’s part, given that his
organization constantly denounces as Islamophobes those who try to alert the
public about the pre-violence stages of the radicalization that goes on in
numerous Islamic centres and that precedes the overt justification of violence
and the call to arms. To counter the radicalization of young Muslims in Canada
in a significant way, the debate must go beyond the single Wahhabi Assuna mosque
and target the ideology and its financing arms.
In a letter published by
the National Post last Saturday, Ingrid Ravary-Konopka, Trudeau’s riding
executive assistant between 2008 and 2013, took responsibility for having sent
him to the Assunah mosque “based on what I knew then,” she underscores. She
hints that she could have done things differently had she had known more at the
time. Her second thoughts are welcomed.
Politicians, journalists
and community leaders must target the ideology of those who radicalize young
Muslims in Canada, incite them to go kill abroad and threaten our future.
Drastic changes are required in order to discourage young Muslims, such as
Farah Shirdon, Damian Clairmont and others to go to the Middle East to kill
“non-believers.” Changes are required to prevent more Ferid Imams, the former
president of the Muslim Students Association at the University of Manitoba, to
go train other radicals in Pakistan who then come back to attack North American
infrastructures.

Islam or
Islamism: A Distinction without a Difference? By David Solway
Thirteen years after 9/11, after
some 24,000 terror
attacks perpetrated by Muslims since that fateful
date, after the atrocities carried out and still being carried out by
Caliphate-aspiring terrorist militias, after civil wars, incursions, the mass
extermination and eviction of Christian populations in Muslim lands and
territories, hostage-takings, kidnappings, beheadings, bombings, missile
barrages — after all this, many Westerners still appear to endorse a strict
distinction between Islam and Islamism. The former, we believe or have been led

had more than its share of special light. We will remember our fallen, and the
light that they shone.
