Iranian protestors hold posters of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei during a demonstration against a film ridiculing Islam’s Prophet Muhammad. Islamists are determined to keep Canada’s Muslims who have escaped such regimes confined in their identity ghettos, and official multiculturalism has already done all their heavy lifting for them, writes Terry Glavin.

When the summoning of roughly 1,500 people to a demonstration in Toronto last Saturday was presented as massive outpouring of Muslim anguish over a YouTube video, the thing that was most immediately conspicuous in its absence was the deafening roar of everybody’s malarky detectors going off at the same time.
In the broader political scheme of things, what the event caused to be most disturbingly conspicuous was the absence of a federal liberal party in Canada.
What was demanded last weekend was that Canadian liberalism should inflict upon itself the final act of its slow-motion suicide. You’d have thought that if a vigorous objection would be coming from anywhere, it would be coming from the Liberal Party of Canada. It didn’t, and it is even less likely that it soon will, now that the delicate princeling Justin Trudeau has unofficially declared his odds-on-favourite candidacy for the party leadership.
