Hmmm. Explains How I'm Feeling Today

West, Muslim societies locked in 'irreconcilable' battle, Canadians say

"The survey of 1,500 Canadians, conducted over three days last week for the Montreal-based Association for Canadian Studies, showed 56 per cent of respondents see Western and Muslim societies locked in an unending ideological struggle, while about 33 per cent - just one-third of the population - held out hope that the conflict will eventually be overcome."

Except I'm more concerned with that part of the spectrum on the left which wants us all to practice dhiminitude. That'd be the same bunch that conducts and interprets these sorts of studies for us, cause we're too stupid or politically incorrect to see the error of our ways.

"Many Canadians have come to believe "nothing will work" to end that conflict, said Jedwab, adding that this grim state of mind will require more scrutiny to fully understand and more carefully crafted public policies to rebuild a sense of optimism about the future of global relations."

"The survey did offer one notable "ray of hope," Jedwab suggested, pointing to a result showing that a slight majority of Canadians (52 per cent) believe it would be wrong for airport security officials to do "extra checks" of "passengers who appear to be of Muslim background."

While 39 per cent of respondents were open to that kind of profiling, Jedwab interpreted the majority's rejection of the practice as a sign that most Canadians realize such infringements "would make the purportedly irreconcilable conflict even deeper if the enshrined principles of our rights charters are to be disregarded."

See what I mean?

Here's something we should try. Get rid of our kangaroo courts (the Human Rights Commissions) and ask us again just before the twentieth or twenty-fifth anniversary of 9/11. We might be less kow-towed by that time.
