Here's to the Canadian pundit who thinks radical Islam is just in the U.S.

Having won a new term, Prime Minister Stephen Harper now needs to win the domestic fight against Islamism.

December 1, 2008 - by Kathy Shaidle Page 1 of 2 Next ->On October 14, Canadian voters handed Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper his second minority government, one even stronger than his first. Harper vows to maintain the nation’s military commitment in Afghanistan through 2011, but his dedication to fighting radical Islam at home remains unclear.

Ezra Levant was one of those trying to keep those issues on the table while working the party’s “war room” during the campaign. Levant famously reprinted the Danish cartoons of Mohammed in his magazine, the Western Standard, back in 2006, an act that got him hauled before the Alberta Human Rights Commission for “Islamophobia.” That was Canada’s first real taste of Islamist “lawfare” tactics, and its most notorious next to similar charges brought against Maclean’s magazine and its columnist Mark Steyn.

Levant is optimistic about the prime minister’s commitment to fighting radical Islam on the domestic front.

“You might recall,” Levant told Pajamas Media right after the election, “that the 18 young Muslims arrested for plotting to blow up the CBC and CN Tower and behead the prime minister happened right after Harper was first elected. His response was not the typical politically correct response of having a photo-op with a radical imam.”

your right radical islam is all over canada. thus far they havent killed anyone up there but not for a lack of trying. how long that will remain the case is anyones guess.

why you singling out Canada? Islam has its problem with radical islam

Islam is a problem all over the world.

There are no moderate Muslims.

Reminds me of a joke.

The Lone Ranger and Tonto found themselves surrounded by hostile indians.

The Lone Ranger looked over at Tonto and said,"Looks like we are about to get slaughtered."
Tonto responded with,"We who, Paleface."

If you was BS'n with a Non-believer and a hostile group of muslims said, kill the infidel or die, I think you'd go with the crowd.

Am I wrong or right?

not all Muslims are jihadis

any more than all Christians are

or any more than all conservatives are right wing radicals

or any more than all liberals are left wing nut cases

it doesn't help to paint a whole population with the excesses of the few


EDIT: its kinda like blaming all Baptists for David Koresh

I was just provin' a point. Peer pressure and self-preservation helps decide some actions.

Why did the Canadian cross the road?

he didn't. He stayed in the middle and was very polite about it

how did the american cross the border?

he didn't.

ooooooooo ye little smarty pants

Germany has a large population of Turkish people who are opening up Mosques throughout the country. Many Germans are disturbed about it. It seems as long as the Turkish people obey the German laws then it shouldn't be a problem, or at least it seems that way.

The problem with the Muslim religion is that it is a part of life. A cultural move for most of them that doesn't fit the same perspective and idealogies of western lifestyle.

Because there are differences there will be conflicting ideas of how a country should be runned, what to watch, what to eat, what to practice, and how to live,etc. etc.

This difference of lifestyle through these religious belief systems causes stirs.

Tolerance fortunately is the key saver for most people living in such dynamic countries of various belief systems. Once tolerance is eliminated then conflicts occur, which includes racism, superstitions, hatred, and misunderstandings.

I hope for the sake of mankind people will try to practice and hone tolerance more then use violent terms to resolve problems. In many cases those problems just add up if you use harsh violent tactics.

I've heard it said

that the difference is

Muslims who move to America become Americans (still devout Muslim but American)

and the Muslims who move to Germany and France etc don't become French or German. They remain Turkish and Iranian and whatever their native nationality was. they don't integrate and in America they (most) do

Actually, he did. The Border Patrol just wouldn't let him come back.

hahaha actually she meant me and it was Canadian Customs.

when they ran my background check it came back in five accordion fold pages

I really screwed it up when I asked the guard if I claimed to be Mexican would he let me in?

Yes very true. I have met many Muslims in my life. Iranians, Turkish, Iraqis, Lebanon, Egypt, Jordanian. All of them have very interesting cultures. Those in Germany don't want to become German. They are just there for they make a better income and have the ability to create businesses without imposing government conflicts.

I haven't met any Muslims in America to tell you the truth. I live in Miami and the majority of the people are Catholics down here. A huge Latin ethic resides here.

I think many Muslims tend to want to stay in this country for the rest of their lives as opposed to those in Germany and France that still want to have ties to their countries and perhaps even retire there with the wealth they have attained.

Of course this information isn't valid because each individual person is different, but from my European experience I experienced exactly on what you are saying.

I dated a Turkish lady a very long time ago and had the whole family attack me later. I was told that if I don't become Muslim then I cannot marry the lady. Marry! I wasn't even ready to move in yet!

To become a Muslim I had to go to Mecca and make a pilmigrage also. I wasn't ready for that and they sent my girlfriend back to Turkey and told me to never be seen again.

Well that certainly was a history lesson for me on that day.

i liked a turkish girl once but she threatened to suicide bomb me when she found out! that was a bad day!

"problem with Islam is that it's a part of life"

this is the most retarded statement i've ever read on the internet. ALL religion is supposed to be a way of life for the believer. I guess by this logic, being christian means going to church on Sunday , party mon-sat. and worship a bunny that lays chicken eggs.

Many of the Middle Eastern countries integrate their religion with their politics. For example they call it a Islamic Republic. They often justify the Koran as a reason to defend their rights concerning the subject that is discussed in their parliament.

So with my experience with Middle Easterns I have witnessed how important the lifestyle as the Koran teaches it is important to their daily lives as a must to do. They also use it often to justify their political views on the many subjects on hand.

I can only imagine the difficulty Muslims have with when living in a Western Society that is primarily Christian based. Let alone the holidays celeberated such as Christmas, Eastern, and so forth as of Christian believers living in countries that are predominately Muslim.

Now don't get me wrong Christians aren't any better. Many of the politicians use their faith to justify their reasons on making decisions for the country. I feel Bush used it often to justify the war on Iraq and I see that many followed his lead on it also.

In the end there are some who don't care for they don't follow any of it. I am one of them who feels religion should stay out of politics, but am completely aware how powerful and misleading religion can influence an entire nation to do something that is not so good for its people in the end.
