The path to our destruction
2006-06-06
From Jewish World Review online
By Caroline B. Glick
Because of the defiant, irrational and immoral refusal of Western political, cultural and media elites to acknowledge the threat that internal and external jihadist forces manifest to the very notion of human freedom, they make it impossible for their societies to take measures to protect themselves.
Allegedly spurred on by images of conflict in Iraq and Afghanistan, and angered by what they saw as the mistreatment of Muslims at home, they became increasingly aggressive in their beliefs, according to media reports.
This is how London's Sunday Telegraph explained the decision of 17 Canadian Muslims to stockpile three tons of ammonium nitrate and plot acts of war against their country. These men — all Muslims — who reportedly planned to blow up the headquarters of Canada's Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) in Toronto, are what Canadian officials refer to as "home-grown terrorists," and products of the "jihad generation." Before their arrests on Friday, they had never visited Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq or the Palestinian Authority. They chose the path of jihad in the streets and mosques of Toronto. They learned how to build bombs from the Internet. They trained for their mission in a training camp in Ontario.

Like the Telegraph, most media reports claim that these men were prompted to wage a war against their country because they believe that their fellow Canadians are launching war against Islam. But why would they think this? Canadians are outspoken in their anti-Americanism. They have contributed generously to the Palestinians. It only took the Canadian government a few weeks after the Palestinian elections to announce it would fund a Hamas-led PA. Canadians overwhelmingly oppose the US-led war in Iraq and President George W. Bush.

#1  A GOP-CONSERVATIVE will support SOCIALISM as a last-ditch, ideally temporary resort to solve national issues-probs: DEMOLEFTIES do it as a matter of course, supporting everything, anything, and nothing that promotes and entrenches Universal Governmentism. THE GLITCH IS WHAT DO THE PEOPLE GET BACK ONCE THE WAR IS WON, AS THERE ARE THOSE WHOM PREFER TO SEE THE WAR IS EITHER NEVER WON, NO EVER-ENDING!?
