"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.

Any society that compels its citizens to focus more on what makes them different (multiculturalism) than encouraging a patriotism and common identity (melting pot) is ultimately doomed to failure.
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.

"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." Yes, I have to say I agree with that statement, in my mind I always picture the giant beard and it is not a reality. I'll amend the image in my mind's eye from now on, thanks for the reality check. By the way, try googling "critical islamic studies" and "critical biblical studies" with the quotes. Note the difference in the results and the number of educational sites linked (.edu's)
