| Police unconcerned about Muslim delegates |
| 2006-07-06 |
| Peel Regional Police say there is no reason to be concerned as thousands of Muslim delegates from around the world begin arriving in Mississauga for a weekend convention. The 30th annual Convention of Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Canada starts tomorrow and runs through Sunday at the International Centre in Malton. The convention comes just weeks after six Muslim men from Mississauga were arrested last month in a counter-terrorism sweep that made headlines around trhe world. It is alleged that a plot to blow up government buildings, take hostages and even to kill the Prime Minister was hatched in a storefront Meadowvale mosque. Meanwhile, a terrorism expert has told a Toronto newspaper that "police will have an interest in who will be participating." Dave Harris, a former Canadian Security Intelligence Service chief of strategic planning, told The Toronto Sun police should be keenly interested in who will be attending the conference. Topics on the agenda include how Muslims can reconcile faith with loyalty to their country and the consequences of abandoning the principles of Islam. Peel police are aware of the annual event and senior service members will be attending, said Cont. Craig Platt. But, he added, "We have no concerns." |

| #6 A quick reminder: the Ahmadiyyas are rejected by the Wahhabs and Salafists because the Ahmadi branch of The Religion of Peace® rejects the doctrine of jihad by the sword. For those of you keeping score at home. Nope, it is much worse than that. The Ahmadiay tell Muhammad was not teh last prophet and that God can and it fact lready has sent other prophets to complete or rtectify Coran's message. Le's remember that at least for Salafis and perhaps for others Coran was not created but has existed swithout aingle comma changed from all eternity. Fact that Ahmadiyas believe in ulterior prophets means they don't feel compelled to try to imitate Muhammad in everything (including clothing, example: they wear Indian-style turbans not arabic-style ones) or to regard at everyone of hos words as teh ultimate in wisdom. And thta makes regular Muslims mad. Besides 99% of regular Muslimsthey don't consider Ahmadiyas as Muslims since they admit other prophets. As an aside their TV broacasts include words unimaginable in regular Muslim broadcasts. Like Love. |

| #1 Topics on the agenda include how Muslims can reconcile faith with loyalty to their country and the consequences of abandoning the principles of Islam. I believe we already know this basic lesson. Sharia law is not compatable with legislated law, therefore, the only way is for Canada to except Islam. Aka dhimmitude. |
