“Canadian Forces officials say such training facilities need to be as real as possible to simulate the types of environments that soldiers might see on tour,” but Islamic advocacy groups in the West want to stigmatize and end any such preparation, as they want to deflect attention away from the reality of jihad violence altogether.
“Fake mosque on Canadian Forces base in Alberta raises concerns for Muslim community,” by Stephen David Cook, CBC News, December 10, 2021:
As Mahmoud Mourra was out hunting on the prairie in southern Alberta, he came across a familiar sight in an unfamiliar location: the dome of a mosque, replete with minaret and crescent symbol.
Only the mosque was not real. It was part of a training facility at Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Suffield, about 250 kilometres southeast of Calgary.
Canadian Forces officials say such training facilities need to be as real as possible to simulate the types of environments that soldiers might see on tour. But for Mourra, who has made a life in Canada since immigrating from Lebanon decades ago, seeing the structure felt like a betrayal.
“It is a symbol not for terrorists, it is symbol for Muslims and I think that’s what is the problem,” he said.
“I do believe there’s a systematic problem because this is a tip of the iceberg to see a field like this in existence.”
Mustafa Farooq, CEO of the National Council of Canadian Muslims, said video of the mosque taken by Mourra that began circulating online has raised concerns in the Muslim community, especially in light of white supremacist elements in the forces….
CFB Suffield base commander Lt.-Col. Stephen Burke said the structure is part of a simulated village built in 2006 used exclusively by British forces. It is in a “dry” training area — meaning no live ammunition is used in the vicinity.
“People would obviously still be carrying weapons, still doing military training, but there was no shooting at it,” he said.
“And as a matter of fact, that’s the kind of thing we’re actively training to prevent.”…
Farooq does not buy the argument that this kind of façade should be used in training soldiers what not to do — like attacking a religious institution.
“This is sort of a very well understood kindergarten-level lesson that everybody knows and understands. Why they would need to take the trouble of constructing a mosque … is beyond me.”
He would like to see the installation removed and displayed publicly as a reminder of the culture and apprehension that grew out of a post 9/11 world for Canadian Muslims….

Now the Musslem want to tel lthe Canadian Army how to train. Where is the limit to their arrogance??
Check Burry says
They should go to where they belong, it certainly isnt the USA, Canada, UK, in fact most of the world.
Lion heart says
As a Canadian Christian guy myself originally from Iraq, I wanna say that if it was me , I would ship all Muslims out of Canada to their shotholes in either Iraq or Saudi Arabia etc… they don’t belong to the west ! and as I said a few days ago to a fellow Canadian woman who is a white woman that even when Muslims in Canada ( and in the west in general ) see the drug addicts on the streets dying of overdose , they feel happy because there their chance to produce more babies and dominate but people would call me a racist for even saying that ! Actually we had 14 centuries bitter experience with Islam and we know how they operate in any Society ! Sand irony is that Quran employs a psychological projection by claiming that nonMuslims would feel happy when submerging bad happens to Muslims ( Quran 3:120 )
somehistory says
There is no limit to their arrogance. That’s one of the things that is infinite.
Keith O says
+1
Violet C says
Their goal is to convert everyone .into Muslims or murder them
PRCS says
No.
Convert, live as dhimmis under Islamic rule, or face warfare.
That second alternative is important in Islam’s grand scheme.
Don McKellar says
I’m sure they’ll redecorate it as a Christian church. Trudeau will get in on this pandering action and minute now and insist on it.
But then there’ll be the second dilemma — a mosque converted into a church? That’s even a bigger insult!
And on it will go.
Check Burry says
It may well heighten their blood pressure, so there is an upside to this silly story of their dislike, for just about everything.
Keith O says
The demand will then be to shut down the entire training area to protect the fake mosque.
Check Burry says
Leave it where it is, just paint it blood red
somehistory says
These whining mozlums can’t handle Truth…they don’t want the public to be aware of Truth and they’ll fight to keep Truth hidden. If only they would fight their satanic desire to rape, murder and conquer everyone else. If they would fight that as hard as they fight to keep people from realizing the danger they pose, then there wouldn’t be so much danger posed.
They won’t fight their evil desires. They just fight against the Truth. And demand that the Truth be covered up so the public will continue to be deceived into thinking they are just like other *regular* people.
Their barracks are forward forts inside the walls of the cities of their enemies.
Michael Copeland says
The old Islamic poem recited by Erdogan can be quoted:
“The mosques are our barracks……..the faithful our soldiers.”
somehistory says
More people need to be aware of this fact.

Spot on, Michael and Somehistory.
Dan says
I live in Medicine Hat, a city of about 60 thousand just thirty miles from Suffield.
We’ve had Muslims molesting little girls in swimming pools…
With the local news station, CHAT TV describing them as white males when security video CLEARLY showed otherwise….
And a Christian group hiding Muslims who’ve left Islam, because other members of this “One Mosque Town” have made credible enough threats they will “Kill anybody leaving Islam.”
gravenimage says
Thanks for that grim account, Dan.
Dan says
WE can thank shampoo head Turdolt, AND LIBERAL POLICIES, for this.
Violet C says
Exactly!
Kenneth J Johnson says
WEll the poison is spreading to the hinterlands. Four months is it not KEN
Keith O says
My question is simply, WTF was this individual doing trespassing on a military base with a loaded gun?
gravenimage says
Good question, Keith. Possibly this fake Mosque could be seen from outside the facility, but this is not entirely clear.

“…public display on ‘islamophobia'”
—–
Would Canadian authorities permit a photo exhibition of all the happy muslims destroying and desecrating MENA churches? It would be even better with all the quotations from this article: https://gatesofvienna.net/2018/01/in-their-own-words/
Or would that also be called ‘islamophobia’?
Treereen says
When either of the two crybabies are quoted all I can hear is: we are victims, victims, victims, victims, poor downtrodden victims drowning in the imaginary seas of systemic racism and discrimination, Canadian non-muslims aren’t bending over backwards for us far enough, (toddler’s wailing noise)…
Also, I “like” how 9/11 has been portrayed as some kind of inexplicable, random occurrence that somehow has been unfairly pinned on poor, innocent muslims. Not a single word uttered in condemnation of that atrocity. Victim, victim, victim again.
gravenimage says
So true–I’ve read references to 9/11 where if you didn’t know what happened you would suppose that the date involved Infidels victimizing Muslims. I wonder if there are schoolkids who didn’t live thought 9/11 who think just that?

Canada: Muslim enraged over fake mosque on military base, wants it to be part of public display on ‘Islamophobia’
…………………..
What a load of crap. Would Christians have been up in arms if a fake Church had been part of a training environment during the Second World War? Priobably not…
But of course such a Church would have just been part of the environment–or perhaps a place where non-combatants mich take sancturary (I have heard of this during WWII in Italy, for instance).
But a Mosque is also different–far more likely to be a place used to hide Jihadists and used as a weapons magaziner–but of course thugs like Mahmoud Mourra don’t want us to know that…
And Mahmoud Mourra has been fliogging this claptrap for quite a while now.
Note this shameless projection from him from earlier this year:
“I never witnessed, for the many years I’ve been here, the amount of hate, I saw in the past few years,” said Mourra.
“We just want our kids to feel safe and secure, we don’t want to look over both of our shoulders every time we walk.”
“All we have is love,” said Mourra. “We’re going to trade hate with love, inshallah, and with the grace of Allah, we will defeat hate.”
…
No mention, of course, of all the murderous Jihad terror attacks by his savage coreligionists againsty Canadians. “Grace of Allah” indeed…sarc/off
spiro says
Enraged Muslim
Really I though that was their natural state
Relic says
Mahmoud Mourra was out hunting on Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Suffield when he came across a familiar sight in an unfamiliar location.
He was trespassing, the dome is a umbrella.
Major Tom says
Not all Muslims are Jihadis……but all Jihadis are Muslim……’nuff said!
OLD GUY says
Someone tell this Muslim that I’am enraged over his so called religion and the rape and murder it represents around the world.
Jedothek says
that this objection should be raised, and even more that anyone should take it seriously, is another example of the contempt that the “left” (that coalition that includes all anti-American forces such as Islamists) feel for the facts. Only their ideology matters, realities merely spoil the mood.
