The weird thing is, this guy actually had an al-Quaeda flag on his webpage .... you’d think the authorities would be scanning the web for obvious clues like that??

What is it with all these islamic md and phd jihadis? Isn’t that kind of unique in the annals of history? Doesn’t it say something telling about the religion that even the most highly educated of the islamderthals subscribe to stone age tenets of death and mayhem. Methinks that if the mds and phds are literally dying to kill us and there are a billion illiterate muslims, we have a problem.

If Canada had become part of America, the FBI would still be busy investigating these guys. In the meantime, the bridge would have blown up real good.

on a related note:

News of these arrests follow at least two other cases where the RCMP is investigating Canadians at the forefront of a terrorist attacks. High school friends from London, Ont., were reportedly among the leaders of a January attack at an Algerian gas plant that killed 37 hostages.

And Mahad Ali Dhore, who grew up in Markham and studied at York University, is suspected of leading a suicide attack in Mogadishu, Somalia a week ago that killed at least 29.

Good question.

There is some momentum, but it need to come to a halt.

It has no place in any society. This is a murderous political movement that has not changed for the better since its beginnings and operates on the original philosophy “Kill All the Christians and Jews”.

So the real danger is in strictly following the tenets of the Religion of Peace? If you loosely followed those tenets then all would be well.

It’s the strictness.

So is the solution that Muslims should reduce their religiousity? Ban the burkha? Reduce the call to prayer from 5 to a more reasonable 3 times a day? Face NE or SE instead of Mecca?

How can we help them?
