Three Things

First, I'm very heartened by the increasing number of Western Muslims who are speaking out against Islamofacists and the useful idiots who support them. Secondly, I would like to point out to my fellow Canadians that this story is about Canada, Canadian Muslims and a Canadian political party. So many of Canada's citizens have their heads in the sand about the reality of this global problem and they especially seem to think that this is not a Canadian problem and that anyone who raises the issue, whether here in Canada or anywhere else in the West, is a scaremongering bigot. And finally, just what the heck is happening to the NDP??!! I know this party has always been the worst offender as far as accusing anyone and everyone of scaremongering bigotry, but sheesh!!! Just how far down that road do they intend to travel?

Report from the Northern Front: Montreal Redux

"Canada's awakening to radical-Islamist penetration of its political, bureaucratic and social infrastructure, reached a watershed moment this month.

Quebec's new French-language anti-Islamist website, Point de Bascule – "tipping point" – sponsored a dramatic press conference in Montreal Oct. 2 on the dangers of hard-line Islamist penetration of Canada. But this was consciousness-raising with a powerful difference.

All three panelists were moderate Canadian Muslims. All three face death fatwas. And all three spoke unsparingly – some giving names and startling specifics – of the Sharia surge and stealth jihad in Quebec and the rest of Canada. Indeed, detailed allegations were heard about Islamist inroads into the federal New Democratic Party (NDP), Canada's social democratic party, and about infiltration of a government commission with power to define and silence "hate" speech. These were momentous claims in the context of Canada's national election campaign – the national vote takes place today. As evidenced by the number of journalists in attendance, the Quebec media were galvanized."

I guess we all know what that "government commission with power to define and silence "hate" speech" is.

Wakey, wakey, Canada.

One of the speakers, by the way, has a regular column on this blog. Salim Mansur's writing is well worth a regular read. Audio recordings of CBC interviews with Tarek Fatah and Raheel Raza can be found here and here. Warning: The Raza interviewer is Michael Enright, who of course manages to insert his own CBC mandated leftwing bias via the questions he chooses to ask, which, refreshingly, David Harris, one of the interviewees, challenges.
