"As a country with open-door refugee and social safety net policies, Canada is an ideal breeding ground for extremism, say researchers."
I wonder how those researchers explain extremism in places like Afghanistan and Indonesia. I'm not saying that Canada and Europe arent extremist breeding grounds, just that I don't think that's the real reason.
Absurdly hilarious!
When people feel they have nothing in common with others in their nation, they seek to obtain dominance over all others through violence and intimidation, thus ensuring that their way of life will prevail.
THIS is what's happened in Afghanistan and Indonesia. THIS is what is happening in Canada and America.
If we don't stop it now, we'll wind up being nothing but a Balkanized nation that will be all too easy for the Islamists to annihilate.
The Leftists know this...in fact, they're counting on it.
HA! Good one.
That's right, you heard it first! Nevermind one description that actually fits the majority of pig-smelling Arab terrorists, citizen! Only the enlightened effete elite know what's really going on!
The towelhead with the machette about to lop of a head and the "bearded, robed Arab wearing a suicide vest " about to blow up an entire gathering as the people look on and rejoice in the fact that THESE ARE NOT TERRORISTS!
If I can find a decent photo of the author of this rubbish, it's a done deal.
ROY -- You are an idiot.
"But the effect is that orthodox imams and sheikhs across the West preach a message terrorists want to hear: Islam should be the only law, the West is corrupt and Muslims have a moral responsibility to jihad. One moderate American Muslim leader has suggested as many as 80% of the mosques in North America are run by Salafists spreading that message."
Sobering.
So if we translated it to German, would "jihad" be Kampf?
Astonishingly narrow thinking. He must be thinking of attacks only in the west. Unless you have a strict definition of "major", many attacks in Israel, Indonesia, Kashmir, etc. would count as well.
There is a tendency in humans to seek a kind of fulfilment that can only come from a closer relationship with God. And that's a fine thing, unless your god is the Allah of Islam.
As long as Islam is alive, there will be the call of martyrdom (shahada)...and that means dead innocent non-muslims. And wherever Islam comes into contact with the Judeo/Christian world, innocent Christians and Jews will be killed in the name of Islam.
So how is it that our government, on one hand, says "Islam is the religion of peace, one of the worlds great religions"...and then is shocked when Muslims kill people in the name of Allah? How can our government blame the terrorists BUT NOT the religion and the god that commands them to kill? The terrorists honestly think they are doing Allah's will (and they are).
Until this war on terror is directed at the real enemy, Islam, we will never win.
According to Carl von Clausewitz,
"The first, the supreme, the most far-reaching act of judgment that the statesman and the commander have to make is to establish...the kind of war on which they are embarking, neither mistaking it for, nor trying to turn it into, something that is alien to its nature." When policy-makers misstate the true dimensions of the conflict, not only do they mislead the public, but also they incur the risk of believing their own rhetoric, which will seriously impair their ability to defend their societies.

Google "jihad kampf" and you'll find some vy interesting articles.
Jihad is the spreading of islam, by violence, if necessary.
This author should read Robert Spencer's, "Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam".
The point is when terrorists come to the United States they're probably going to at least change out of their robes and try to be a little inconspicuous. They know what terrorists stereotypically look like as well as anybody else.
While the image of the bearded, robed Arab wearing a suicide vest comes to mind when the public thinks of terrorists, it is not reality.
Tell this to the Iraqis and Israelis.
-...and none of them claim to be representing Islam, says Khawaja.-
You must be kidding.
