Canadian PM says Hamas uses human shields, urges leaders to side with Israel
Stephen Harper, leader of the free world. This is the sort of thing that the President of the United States should be saying, and Harper’s saying it only underscores the immensity of Barack Obama’s moral abdication. “PM accuses Hamas of using human shields, urges world leaders to side with Israel,” Canadian Press, July 13, 2014 […]
Canada: Muslim found guilty of terror charges, eyed Canadian targets
“Crown lawyers said during the trial that Ahmed was a ‘committed jihadist’ with an eye on potential Canadian targets, pointing to a bag in his basement they alleged held bomb-making materials.” Where did Misbahuddin Ahmed learn this outrageous misunderstanding of the religion of peace? Why do so many Muslims misunderstand it in the same way? […]

Prof: Muslim students at U of Calgary openly supported Islamic Jihad, Hamas
We’re constantly told that Muslims in the West abhor jihad terrorism and reject the understanding of Islam that gives rise to it. Yet jihad terrorists base their appeal to peaceful Muslims on teachings of the Qur’an and Sunnah. And the jihad that is raging now in Iraq and Syria is drawing many Muslims from Western […]
Canada farmer charged with illegal slaughter after Muslims slaughter sheep he sold them
He was charged. They weren’t. He is, quite rightly, claiming discrimination. “Mr. Scissons sold them live sheep — what they choose to do with them after that point is really up to them.” So why weren’t the Muslims who actually illegally slaughtered the sheep charged? Would that have offended the multicultural sensibilities of Canadian authorities? […]
Robert Spencer in FrontPage Mag: The U.S., the U.K. and Canada in Jihad Denial
