Imagine if the recently-nominated Conservative candidate in Canada's most multicultural city deemed his nomination a "victory for Christianity", and if his supporters proclaimed the start of a "crusade to return Canada to its roots". Oh, and if Stephen Harper ignored questions about the nomination from outraged party members. We'd never hear the end of it. It would be proof that Stephen Harper and the Conservatives were nothing but a bunch of intolerant bigots who have a "hidden agenda" to destroy the cherished ideals of tolerance and multiculturalism.
Well, that didn't happen. According to the Canadian Coalition for Democracies, this did:
On December 2, the Liberal candidate for Mississauga-Erindale, Omar Alghabra, made his victory speech after winning the nomination. In that speech, he reportedly exhorted his audience, "This is a victory for Islam! Islam won! Islam Won! ... Islamic power is extending into Canadian politics".
Alghabra's victory speech was delivered to an audience of several hundred in the Coptic Christian Centre of the Church of the Virgin Mary and St. Athanasius in Mississauga.
David Ragheb, a member of the congregation, reported that following Alghabra's victory speech, Markham Councillor Khalid Osman took to the stage and declared, "We have the east, we have the west, and now we have Mississauga!" to cheers and applause from the audience. Ragheb also reported that Rogers Cable was present throughout and may have filmed the event. "A member of parliament is supposed to represent my concerns about taxes and roads in Mississauga, not promote an Islamic agenda," said Ragheb.
Victor Fouad, a Coptic Christian, was disturbed to hear of such Islamist rhetoric from a Liberal who could easily become a Canadian parliamentarian. Mr. Fouad assumed that Paul Martin would likewise disapprove of such incitement by a Liberal candidate, and so wrote to the Prime Minister detailing what had happened. That message was ignored. The event took place over 2 weeks ago, and Paul Martin's silence since that time can only be interpreted as approval of Mr. Alghabra's rhetoric.
Mississauga-Erindale, incidentially, is currently represented by rabid "anti-Zionist" Carolyn Parrish.
Canada News!
You don't have to be a Canadian to be on this Canada ping list.
On or off...Just let me know. :-)
"even if I wasn't a conservative I wouldn't be a liberal"
Canadiastan :(
We can still stop it.
We're not done yet.
:-)
the global caliphate advances a bit....thru cultural jihad
Unfortunately Mr. Harper's people are focused on same-sex marriage and on snagging that $1200 per year per toddler that Mr. Harper is throwing out from his speeding limo, than they are anything else. The entire Conservative party, apparently, will sell itself for a $100 per month per baby allowance.
Sorry dude, but Canada's a lost cause. Eh?
Islam is creeping up on us. It's growing in SA and Mexico. It's growing in Canada. When they meet in the middle...where will they be?
Canada opens it's borders, and then outlaws guns... you'all are on your own as far as I'm concerened...(snort)...
Bite me.
:-0~
BINGO!
Yup, but time is not on our side :(
I wish you people good luck.
Beyond which, they don't have enough spaces for all children under 6, but we are only subsidized if we use 'their' childcare.
Disclosure...My children are over 6 years old. It will not benefit me personally.
It won't benefit me at all either -- all I get is the invoice.
All the "conservatives" I know are focused solely on SSM, abortion and getting that $100 per month per kiddie. Nothing else seems to move the needle on the applause meter.
Here in Toronto we have rats, cooties, bed bugs, contaminated water and gunfire to deal with. I would think that would be enough for most people. No wonder the Muslims feel right at home here.
So much for Canada being a secular society under the Liberals. What I cannot understand is why the role of certain prominent Canadians in the oil for food scandal has not become a major election issue. Why the silence?
Yes it is. It was previously home to Carolyn "Damn Americans, I Hate Those Bastards" Parrish...
Hopefully the residents there can see through that nonsense and elect Bob Dechert, but it appears unlikely :(
