Canada. A spooky reflection of Little Rock Ark. 2009

Long time readers of my blog may remember a thing I ran on the sidebar of this site to get the US government to give two new recruits to the US forces a purple heart who had been shot by a convert to Islam while standing in a parking lot of a mall in front of a military office in 2009.

While the similarities are interesting it is the differences that really count in this case.

I ran that campaign because the US government was refusing to look at it as an act of war and so the soldiers were not given the Purple heart which they richly deserved and earned, especially considering the number of people that received one from injuring themselves on things like Coke machines. Seriously.

However as Canada’s government has already clearly acknowledged that this was indeed a terrorist attack I feel hopeful at this time that the two men who were attacked, and one who died, will receive all the benefits for themselves and their families that they would have received had this occurred in an officially designated combat zone.

Perhaps we should keep one jaundiced eye open on the news to make sure this is the case anyway. Political correctness and pressure from muslim groups surely will try and get this listed as ‘work-place violence’ or some other Obama brand, US style crazy deflection from reality. But I hope we Canadians have more sense than that and are capable of dealing with reality in the here and now.

Meanwhile, people may want to check out Point De Bascule which has a great set of resources on the Imam who preaches at the mosque that the jihadi who attacked those two men near Montreal attended.

I would like to take this opportunity to express my sorrow for the loss, and respect for this serviceman who died in this jihadi attack as well as the other who was injured. A caller to Lowell Green’s show this morning had a great idea that all of us should show support by dressing in combat fatigues or otherwise in military style with the proviso that we do not actually wear a uniform if we are not in the forces. But cammo pants or jacket would be a good idea.
