Trudeau on anniversary of Ottawa jihad attack: “Diversity makes our country strong”
The reality beneath Trudeau’s adulation of diversity is like a festering sore; his misplaced praise diverts attention away from the grave threat of jihadi infiltration and its threat to homeland security, and undermines the real heroes who stopped the jihadists on that fateful day at the Canadian Parliament.

Although this story is out of Canada, the U.S. and the vast majority of Western societies are similar: anyone can pass security screening, including Islamic State jihadis.
