Prime Minister Stephen Harper, along with the mayor of Toronto, police leaders and others met with a representative group from the Toronto muslim community to discuss the arrests of the 17 radicalized nutjobs.
It didn’t take long for America to be blamed (I know!) - this time the Islamic Society of North America and the Islamic Circle of North America were the organizations blamed for infiltrating Canadian mosques and radicalizing the youths. If you want to look at the web sites for those outfits, google them - I won’t link to their filth.
While I don’t have a problem with meetings like this, I do wonder if this is a ploy to foster sympathy for the muslim community. Perhaps instead of asking the PM to stop the radicalization of their youth the imams and other community leaders should ask themselves if they are ready to offer a version of Islam that doesn’t view every other religion as inferior and worthy of death. That would be a good start to closing the void between muslims and the rest of the world.
The Captain has a good piece on muslim leaders taking responsibility.
Rusted Sky has shown interest in my musings. Thanks J.
