The freedom convoy, and now Putin, are making Muslims look good
The Globe & Mail ^ | March 04, 2022 | Zarqa Nawaz

Posted on 03/05/2022 5:43:19 AM PST by Kriggerel

Over the past few weeks, I watched the siege of Ottawa along with millions of Canadians. Trucks choked the downtown, crowds waved giant Canadian flags, firecrackers went off at night, men lounged in hot tubs and hot dogs were grilled on the BBQ, all against a backdrop of incessant, deafening honking. It was like witnessing a block party, crashed by middle-aged white men with a penchant for military fatigues and giving the occasional sieg heil.

I never thought I’d live to see the day when words generally ascribed to Muslims would be used to describe white people. I could hear the incredulousness in reporters’ voices, because for them, it was the first time the narrative of who is dangerous was changing.

I need more than one face and more than one hand to give this sharticle the level of facepalm it truly deserves. The Mainstream Media is really savouring their "victory" over the so-called "FluTruxKlan". (rolls eyes)

"...not to mention the rioters who, a year ago, ransacked Capitol Hill, leaving five people dead."

"A lie can travel around the world and back again while the truth is lacing up its boots.” - Mark Twain.

An idiotic article, sleazily comparing Islamic terror to any demonstrations for freedom. The author actually "forgot" to include 9/11, the various massacres in the US and abroad, and the videoed executions in the Middle east and north Africa.

Yes, the honour killings were in full swing during that time (do I really need to indicate the sarc?).

When you read a sentence like this, which is an indisputable out and out lie, then you know everything after that is shite.

Even for the Ministry of Propaganda this is over the top.

That the Globe and Mail published this trash is enough to keep me from reading anything it publishes.

Good Grief Zarqa Nawaz.

Your article epitomizes the arrogance and ignorance and brutality of “RADICAL” Muslims.

For many decades we’ve all been treated to radical muslims killing people. The one that sticks in my craw is Navy Sailor Robert Stethem shot dead by one of your muslim brothers just to make a point. He was 24 years old!

How many 24 year olds did the Canadian Truckers murder?

If you want some respect for Muslims, write something that makes sense. Otherwise, STFU and don’t insult our intelligence.

“...middle-aged white men with a penchant for military fatigues and giving the occasional sieg heil.”

What a lying piece of sh!t this guy is. My bet is that he never watched a single second of the protest, he’s just spewing the lies that come natural to him and what he thinks the media moguls will approve of.
