#3 Run 'em all or prepare to pay the price. It isn't just the Great Satan the Muzzies hate--it's everyone who isn't THE RIGHT KIND OF MUZZY. Guess what, Canucks? You aren't and sucking up to those who would kill you because of it won't make you safe.

#4 "Oooh! They're gonna go crazy and start stringing up muslims!"

A little projection, perhaps?

#5 After the arrests Friday, the biggest challenge for politicians and security forces is to win the support of moderate Muslims

Granted to completely eliminate this scourge, the moderate Muslims cant be marginalized as part and parcel of a collective threat. But the logic behind this Hearts and Minds approach fails on its own merit. Why should their support be a challenge in the least? Are they not like other rational humans that are outraged by terrorists within their midst? In fact, should they not be more outraged by the radicalized bunch that hijacks their religion for their twisted ideology? Ironically opinions like this actually counter their stated intent. This logic only reinforces that somehow Muslims, as a whole, are somehow different from the rest of civilized society and require distinct rules of community behavior and interaction. And frankly, given the reactions after events like these, one has to wonder if that isn't indeed the case.

#6 Unfortunately, such restraint may have been broken Saturday night when vandals struck a Toronto mosque.

Somehow I would not put it past a muslim or two to break a window. Is that racist thought, or just getting tired of the media manipulation?

#7 racist? No. Suitably skeptical of a lying, grievance culture? Yup
