Whither the Deportation Order?

"You have enemies? Good. That means you’ve stood up for something, sometime in your life."

"If you are going through hell, keep going."

. . . . . . . . . . . .Winston Churchill (1874 - 1965)

A home-grown 'Champion of Islam'

"The 23-year-old fundamentalist's on-line logo combines the black Taliban flag and the outline of an AK-47 above the Support Our Troops slogan.

...Mr. Khan explained that he is a supporter of the Taliban, as well as other armed Islamic groups.

"'Support our Troops' means supporting the mujahideen [Muslim soldiers of God] who are fighting for their freedom and rights against illegal occupation in many, many places over the world like Afghanistan, Iraq, Chechnya, Kashmir, Palestine and Somalia," he said later in an e-mail.

Views like these are becoming increasingly common in Western countries, Canada included, and they are worrying to governments concerned about radicalism and violence."

Yah? Ya' think? What the hell is our government doing about this??!!!???!!!

Over at Catprint in the Mash earlier today I waxed despondently about the long spate of humdrum prime ministers we have had since Pierre Trudeau. I know it's tantamount to treason for a westerner to actually admit to admiring PET, but damnit, that man had balls and a spine forged of iron. Who cares if he spat on whiny westerners. We so desperately need another one like him.

In fact, Tony Blair reminded me of PET. Very similar character. Strong. Braced by the courage of his convictions. A brilliant orator. Willing to walk through the darkest hours without flinching. In short, a statesman. And both men reminded me of Winston Churchill.
