  1. Ezra is really hitting Trudeau hard, unfortunately not enough people will agree with Ezra, anyone with Trudeau’s ideas should be laughed out of public life.

  2. Lets remind ourselves:

    The roots of terrorism
    http://dawn.com/2013/03/18/the-roots-of-terrorism-2/
    “A CURSORY analysis of the START Global Terrorism Database reveals that over the past decade, Pakistan has had the highest number of terrorism-related deaths in the world. In fact, the death toll exceeds the combined terrorism-related deaths for both Europe and North America. Hence, an understanding of terrorism, its dynamics, its causes, the reasons for its escalation and de-escalation is of utmost importance to Pakistan. Unfortunately, policymakers, academics and politicians in Pakistan increasingly rely on speculation and their intuition alone to deal with this menace … Nevertheless, to the frustration of many academics, the simple positive relationship between poverty and (material) crime could not be extrapolated to a positive structural relationship between poverty and terrorism … Not a single study could make a cogent case that terrorism had economic roots. This lack of evidence culminated in a recent review of the literature by Martin Gassebner and Simon Luechinger of the KOF Swiss Economic Institute. THE AUTHORS ESTIMATED 13.4 MILLION DIFFERENT EQUATIONS, DREW ON 43 DIFFERENT STUDIES AND 65 CORRELATES OF TERRORISM TO CONCLUDE THAT HIGHER LEVELS OF POVERTY AND ILLITERACY ARE NOT ASSOCIATED WITH GREATER TERRORISM. IN FACT, ONLY THE LACK OF CIVIL LIBERTIES AND HIGH POPULATION GROWTH COULD PREDICT HIGH TERRORISM LEVELS ACCURATELY. So does this relation also hold for Pakistan? It appears so. Christine Fair from Georgetown University documents a similar phenomenon for Pakistan. By utilising data on 141 killed militants, she finds that militants in Pakistan are recruited from middle-class and well-educated families. This is further corroborated by Graeme Blair and others at Princeton University…”

    Traditional Islam implies lack of civil liberties (pretty much necessarily) and apparently higher population growth too (as in Islamic countries, many of which currently suffer a “youth bulge,” as in Islamic agglomerations created in the West – by fertility, as well as by excessive cultural import). If “we” dont change our policies, we will keep suffering this scourge of mankind.
