Why not confront Muslim extremism?
The Toronto Sun ^ | July 13, 2012 | Brian Lilley

I know this has happened to you. You’ve been watching a newscast and there is a story about a terrorist plot being busted. You hear all about the plot, you know how many people were arrested, what they were generally attempting to do, but there is something the police seem to be avoiding.

The M word or the I word.

You know what I mean.

Police bust an Islamic terror cell, people that plan to blow up a building or shoot others in the name of Islam, and yet police will not say the words Muslim, Islam or any variant thereof. Even when the people arrested have clearly stated their goal is to carry out an attack in the name of Islam, police will not use the M word or the I word.

A document issued by the RCMP may help you understand why this happens. It’s called Words Make Worlds and it details how the Mounties are supposed to talk about Islam.

This booklet has a chapter on jihad, but it’s not the jihad you and I have come to know — the kind where people claim they will wage a holy war. No, this booklet is all about how jihad is an internal struggle “striving in the path of God.”

I’m disturbed any time government or a government agency tries to define religion, but that is what is happening here.

The document also makes a defence of the Muslim Brotherhood, the Islamist group that now controls much of Egypt. During his campaign for the Egyptian presidency, Mohammed Morsi, a man closely tied to the Brotherhood, told a crowd, “The Qur’an is our constitution. The Prophet Mohammed is our leader. Jihad is our path and death for the sake of Allah is our most lofty aspiration.”

That doesn’t sound like a peaceful striving in the path of God to me. And it doesn’t show the Brotherhood as the benign group the Mounties want you to think they are.

The document goes on to tell the Mounties never to link Islam and terrorism. “Terms like ‘Islamic terrorism,’ ‘Islamist terrorism,’ ‘Jihadism’ and ‘Islamofascism’ succeed only in conflating terrorism with mainstream Islam, thereby casting all Muslims as terrorists or potential terrorists.”

What a load of crap.

Since 9/11 when Islamic terrorist scum blew up the Twin Towers, crashed a plane into the Pentagon and were foiled in sending another one to Washington, people in the West have been bending over backwards to say, “Well, of course not all Muslims are terrorists.”

It is the statement everyone needs to make before talking about the problem of Islamic terrorism.

A friend told me that this document was no big deal, just a dust collector that real cops won’t pay attention to. I wish that were the case.

Back in the summer of 2010, four men were arrested and charged with terror-related activities, including claims they were planning a bombing and were attempting to send money to support terrorist activities in Afghanistan. A quick review of the statements made, the press releases issued at the time shows police never used the M word or the I word once.

These men were accused of terrorist activities, activities they planned to carry out in the name of their religion and our national police force was too afraid to name the evil for what it was.

They still are and that should frighten you. If police cannot name the evil they are facing, how can they confront it?

I could be wrong but it seems to me as if Canada,for the time being at least,is pretty much immune from actual terrorist attacks for several reasons...small country...doesn't play a huge role in the war on terror (because of its small population and relatively small military).That might make it appear safe for Canadians to look the other way when the issue is being discussed.

Correction:
If civilization cannot name the evil it is facing, how can it confront it?

If Christians, in the name of Christ, had been doing all the terrorist bombings and killings for the last thirty years, all the lib scribblers and talking heads would be frothing at the mouth about the need to ban Christianity and make it punishable by imprisonment or worse.

Islamic extemism is the very large gorilla in the corner of the cocktail party ripping up the furniture and tossing partygoers over the railing to their deaths that the rest of lib partygoers choose to ignore. Islam is the party of stupid, violent, women-hating males. Not all male Muslims are stupid and violent, but the faith sure does attract quite a few of them.

I once saw a two headed snake in a zoo so I’m willing to believe there is such a thing as a peaceful, tolerant muslim. Maybe one or two. If they can’t police their so-called religion and keep the crazies down, the rest of the world will have to do it for them.

If your religion is telling you to kill people simply because they’re not stupid enough to join your religion then the rest of us will simply have to kill you first. Social sanitation and all that.

You’re probably right. It’s kind of like the “frog in boiling water” thing. I think a lot of Canadians, especially some politicians, were influenced by W’s “religion of peace” proclamation.

Muslims are misunderstood terrorists.

When “Kill the Infidel” meets “Turn the Other Cheek” in the never ending Darwinian contest of “Survival of the Fittest,” which one do you think will survive?

"If you know the enemy and know yourself,
you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.

If you know yourself but not the enemy,
for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat.


If you know neither the enemy nor yourself,
you will succumb in every battle."

- Sun Tzu

I’m probably the biggest Islamophobic in the world. My husband fought the Muzzies in the cold war. They are as evil or more so than he always claimed that they were. Islam is the largest threat this country faces, bar none.

All muslims are exceedingly dangerous unless they’re apostates, and I wouldn’t trust them either.

There is no way I could ever be President, as my Muslim Solution would in no way be pretty or constitutional.

By this time many of us here in Canada will have consigned the 2006 Ontario terrorism plot to having little consequence. The perpetrators were known as the "Toronto 18". Briefly they set up a training camp at a conservation area.

Intent: To detonate truck bombs. Storm CBC headquarters of broadcasting (no cheers please) They were also to storm the Canadian parliament. Try to behead the Prime Minister. Canadian authorities worked closely with the United States. One man had ordered three tons of nitrate, they got fake material from undercover agents. Anyway the usual suspects got to work to excuse the dear boys.

"They're just young and stupid. If you are 17 years, bored, restless
You want to meet girls- hey be a radical".
Toronto Think Tank.

Other apologists made joking remarks about persons being sent out to get Hortons coffee. They playing silly games and being half frozen. Stiff sentences were handed out by the judiciary to the older men- life sentence to 12 years. Total of four men all connected with Al Quaeda.

Today, the once almost impeccable force that was the RCMP, is being tainted by charges by former female RCMP officers of sexual innuendo, raucous teasing and groping by male officers.

Something is very wrong.

If citizens are banned from naming the evil they are facing, the government IS the evil - by definition.

“Storm CBC headquarters of broadcasting (no cheers please)”

Or, as we call it around our house, the “Communist Broadcasting Corporation”. Gotta love SUNTV news.

It’s sad to see the RCMP rotting away to such a low level. They will soon be on a par with the OPP.
