msnbc ^ | june 4, 2006 | msnbc news services

TORONTO - A group of Canadian residents arrested in coordinated raids across the Toronto area for “terrorism-related offenses” had planned to blow up targets around southern Ontario, Canadian police said on Saturday.

Mike McDonnell, assistant commissioner of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, said the group had acquired three metric tons of ammonium nitrate — or three times the amount used in the 1995 bombing in Oklahoma City — as they sought to “create explosive devices.” Police said they had arrested 12 adults and five young people.....

As I read the article I expected to see that they were Muslims.

Evedently they were not Muslims. They were just upset at how Muslims everywhere were treated.

I was wrong and should not have jumped to conclusions.

Global Canadian Imperialism

That's as rich as the old "Fat Bloody Belgian B@$tads!" epithet
from Monty Python.

When folks as decent as the Canadians (even if I can't go with all the
politics) "offend" some group...you know the group is Freakin' NUTS!

that's because we are still fighting a war against terrorism. Terrorism is not an enemy! Terrorism is a tactic. We can't win a war where half our population does not even see who the enemy is, and refuses to look at the situation through anything but politically correct rose colored glasses. We need someone to campaign on the platform of defeating militant islam, or by 2008 we will be too far down the road to defeat to change course. Failing that, I guess the inevitable next major attack on US soil by militant islamists will be our next opportunity to make the proper connection in the minds of the speak no, see no, hear no, evil crowd.

Very good post.

Terrorism IS a tactic of Militant Islam. And our enemy IS militant Islam.

I've said it before. It is time for another "Christian Crusade."

London and Toronto have been busy with anti-terror sweeps in the past twenty four hours. In London, police and MI5 were searching for poison gas devices placed into suicide harnesses normally used for bombs. Very effective for gassing innocents riding trains or killing strangers in subways. Toronto is on alert for traditional homicide bombers using strap-on devices. Read reports here

Make it easy for the West. Deport all Muslims (including the African American ones) to the lands of their origin, don't let any further Muslims into the U.S. under any circumstances and we'll have less future problems. Am I simple or what? Better yet, tell their effed up governments the second another terrorist attack occurs on U.S. soil, the moon worshippers who did the dirty work's country of origin will evaporate via a hydrogen device, understand? And then do it, 'cause this cat and mouse game is going to go on forever and I prefer to sleep at night knowing a bunch of muzzies finally understand we mean business. You tug on a lion's tail enough times, you're gonna get bit, bad.

Maybe they were simply emulating Nelson Mandela.

After all, he became a world wide hero for his plans to blow up government buildings in South Africa.

I just heard Bill Gertz on FOX reporting about this- he said this was going to be a MAJOR attack in Canada- they had 3 times the amount of explosives as Oklahoma City. Apparently the plan was to be carried out very soon- in a matter of days.

The Canadian press release by RCMP stated the men arrested with three tons of ammonium nitrate were from a "broad spectrum" of Canadian society. Of course that broad spectrum of society came from a very narrow spectrum of religious belief. And , of course, the RCMP failed to give any information about the religious background at all. It was left to the blogosphere to ascertain the common religious thread of ALL those arrested. I know I don't have to state the obvious in this post, and it certainly reinforces what we have just been discussing. Keep the faith my brother, Jesus loves us.

It just goes to show you, it doesn't matter what we actually do, they will always be aggrieved somehow.

Canadians will learn nothing from this. Have you been to any Canadian news forums lately? All they say is how superior Canada is to America because they were able to stop the attack.
They won't wake up. They will continue to believe that terrorists couldn't possibly hate them because they are just so nice.
It's just so sad. They're so obsessed with proving how different they are from America they won't wake up until they are all living under Sharia law.

Frankly I don't buy the they want to kill Canadians propaganda one minute. Canada welcomes them with open arms. I think it was the feeling of being safe in Canada to plot against USA.

All of the West(i.e., Judeo-Christian) is the enemy to Islam, regardless if European, Canadian, American or Latin or Asian. They prefer weak-kneed, liberal, post Christian societies to work from (that is Europe and Canada primarily) but will attack them more readily and easily when needed. They are probing, testing the will of their hosts, as they did in Europe, which for the most part, will submit unless otherwise noted. This battle will be for the long haul, worse than Communism. Hope your ammo is dry and your arms are kept in hiding, 'cause the problem ain't going away. Study the history of this cult; it waits like a cancer to strike. Get ready.

Not that I'm aware of, although sometimes it is hard to tell from their names, unless of course it is mohammed, the most common name in the world.

Interestingly, I watched a program on the Spear of Christ. It trace the spear to a n Egyptian Soldier named Morris. He was a devote christian. His division was part of the Roman Army, He was called to bring his forces to return to Gall (France) to help defeat the Barbarians. When his men arrived the found the Barbarians were actually Christians fighting the Paganist Leader (can't remember his named right now. He was called before him and was told that he must recognize him as God and all of his men. Morris refused calling Christ his savior and his allegiance on earth to the "King" was worldly only and that he and his men would NOT kill Christians. The King odered every 6th man BEHEADED (SOUND FAMILIAR) He started with Morris and proceeded to behead 6000 of his men. The pagan King took the Spear and it was place in a storehouse.

My point is that we are facing the great evil described in the Bible. Things like the Davinci Code etc etc, are to sofen up the weak. until the time comes. I would rather be beheaded than be a part of this evil cult of the Devil.

And people that seem to thin the Crusades was bad anin't seen nothing yet. By the way Morris was not only Black he was made a Saint in the Cathoic church, and credited with the begining of Chivalry.
