The Santa parade that wasn’t.

Posted on by

Today, Toronto hosted it’s annual Santa parade. One hundred and four years ago, it was known as the Christmas parade. Christmas is no longer part of the name, I presume because the first six letters spell Christ and, well, Toronto being the bastion of all things politically correct, has removed anything referring to the Christian big man. Christians need not fret at this absence: the celebration of the birth of Christ is apparently to be reserved in the privacy of one’s home.

No where to be seen this year were any references to Christmas. No silver baubles, holly or elves. No Rudolph, Mrs. Claus, the other reindeer, pine trees or plum pudding. No toys, stockings or carols. No yuletide glee. No wreaths, Christmas hats or tinsel. Santa did make his appearance at the end flanked by non-Christmas ornamentation? I suppose he had to show up since the parade is named after him. Perhaps that will change when “Santa” is inevitably replaced with ‘Holiday’ or ‘Winter’ or ‘Season’ or ‘Eaton’s Centre’.

There were lots of polar bears, clowns, lobsters and penguins. Cats, yellow dogs, princesses, hockey players, bakers and chefs appeared on floats. One marching band played what sounded to me like a Mo-town tune and others played “Winter songs” (whatever they are). I did notice a ballsy Portuguese marching band playing “O come all ye faithful”. That took some guts; I doubt they’ll be invited back next year.

There was however a cultural diversity marching band………….

Recent past parades were so impressive that one commentating host boasted that Australia had come to study the Toronto ‘festive’ and left so bewitched they have adopted the same parade for Australia. Good on ’em mate.

Personally, I have to admit I love Christmas. I love the tradition, the celebration, the historical reference and the religious aspect. But then again, I am Catholic. I disagree with it’s cultural extinction as I would suspect many others do, including my Jewish husband. But then again, real diversity and tolerance is not found in boardrooms, city council mandates and studies, focus groups or activist organizations; it is found in homes where real people live. That’s chutzpa!

So now we know what cultural diversity really means. It means no culture at all.

Happy Channukah!

School girls burned with acid: Islam’s answer to higher education

Posted on by

There is nothing more threatening to an Islamist than an educated woman. Yesterday a group of young teenaged school girls had acid sprayed in their faces by two men in the western outskirts of Khandahar City. It is no secret that adherents and proponents of fundamentalist Islam work diligently to deny girls education, with the exception of course, of an approved and monitored knowledge in the rules of obedience and subservience.

Islamic law has always held women as second class citizens with fatwas issued on a regular basis to ensure this subservient class remains intact. Sharia is an insurance policy on behalf of men that maintains male superiority resulting in ongoing discrimination and oppression of women; the basic tenets of misogynistic control, insecurity, fear, mass ignorance and a relentless adhesion to power.

Recently I came across an article from Kurdistan where the government legislature has revised it’s polygamy laws at the request of women’s rights groups concerned with the many resulting dysfunctional family patterns and the psychological abuse of mothers and children living in such marital arrangements. Although the abolishment of polygamy was not granted altogether, the new law states that a man may take only two wives, contrary to the past law which entitled him to three or four. Women’s groups realizing that their call for total abolishment was not successful, conceded that it was in fact a step forward and remain determined to pressure the government to do away with the practice of polygamy altogether. The comment section illustrates the resistance to change with many commentators, mainly men, charging “blasphemy!” and an infiltration of “the evils of western feminism!”.

And Allah Knows Best: Men Are Better Than Women

Posted on by

According to fatwa number 43252 at the Islam Questions and Answers online site, men are better than women. And Allah Knows Best. A young woman wrote in to the site with a query regarding the superiority of men over women in Islam; a gutsy move on her behalf to say the least. She was shut down with this fatwa.

Equality between men and women should be a human, cultural virtue that is able to transcend time, geography, ethnicity, tradition and religious dogma. Unfortunately, as long as Islamic ‘scholars’ continue to hand down such extreme and backward rulings, women and girls will continue to suffer great injustice, oppression and violence throughout the world. Those who insist upon maintaining sanctioned misogyny as a respectable aspect of the human condition should be outcast and legitimately rejected for the stunted, sexist fools they are.

And……… Allah doesn’t know best.

Canadian Kohail sentenced to beheading in Saudi Arabia. Should Canada intervene?

Posted on by

Twenty three year old Canadian Mohamed Kohail has been found guilty of murder while in Saudi Arabia and faces execution by beheading. His death is imminent and he will likely die for his crime within the coming weeks.

Kohail grew up in Saudi Arabia but moved to Montreal when he was a teenager. He, along with his family moved back to Saudi Arabia temporarily to attend a wedding intending to return to Canada where they own a home. While there, he (Kohail) became involved in a brawl after his brother Sultan, 16, called for his help at a local school where a group of youths armed with knives and clubs accused him of insulting a girl. Mohamed involved himself in the fight intending to defend his brother and after the bloody episode had ended, Syrian Haraki died.

The Kohail brothers were immediately arrested and taken to a prison in Jeddah. Friends and family allege that Kohail was the victim of an unfair investigation and trial. One family friend claims the court ignored important evidence that would have cleared Kohail of the charge against him. Other sources assert that the young man’s lawyers were repeadedly denied access to the courtroom.

Canadian politicians, human rights groups and government agencies are pressing hard to save Mohamed kohail’s life. Amnesty International has since sent a letter addressed to the Saudi ambassador to Canada urging him to intervene in the case, citing very serious concerns regarding the legal process to which the defendant was subjected. The Saudi embassy in Ottawa has not, as of yet, commented.

What is pointedly missing in this case is the lack of concern by Canadian Muslim organizations regarding the alleged mistreatment of Mr. Kohail at Saudi hands and his impeding execution. Certainly one would think that high profile Islamic groups such as CAIR-CAN, the Canadian Arab Federation and the Canadian Islamic Congress, all proponents of fair justice and the improvement in the quality of life for Muslim Canadians here and abroad, would have weighed in on this situation.

Yet none of their sites even mention the Kohail case.

Where are the denouncements and calls for ‘action’ on behalf of a fellow Muslim Canadian? Where are the letters of concern, the protests outside the Saudi embassy and the plethora of media communiques sent to major newspapers? Where are the calls aimed at Saudi officials requesting an investigation into the matter and calling for clemency? Where are the requests asking that Mr. Kohail be returned to Canada? Where are the numerous essays, columns and articles criticizing the Saudi government? Why is there no pressure put upon the Harper government to intervene in this case and repatriate Mr. Kohail by these organizations? And, where is the support for his family in this ordeal?

I have read nothing…….nothing.

Perhaps the answer lies in the fact that these groups are simply not concerned with the welfare of a Muslim Canadian such as Mohamed Kohail at all, preferring to concentrate their rabid obsession with asking the Canadian government to repatriate terrorists such as Omar Khadr. Or likely, time spent deeming themselves official intervenors calling for follow-up action on the recent Iacobucci report demanding that Canada apologize and compensate Abdullah Almalki, Ahmed Abon-Elmatti and Muyayyed Nureddin for alleged torture they suffered in Egypt and Syria.

Or maybe they are too busy to help Kohail, finding themselves consumed by their tremendous effort to monitor the alarming rise of Islampohobia in Canada accompanied by vigorous attempts to rid Canadian society of legitimate criticism of Islam via censorship through human rights commission complaints and prosecuting and ridiculing journalists and a Canadian free press. Or maybe they are too bogged down by hours spent constantly involved in heavy lobbying to defend and secure the implementation of sharia law in Canada? 

I believe the neglect of Mohammed Kohail’s case indicates the simplicity of a brotherhood bond with Saudi whabbist principle, a twisted ideology that finds moral acceptability amongst the Islamists in Canada. What is there to rail against when one agrees?

Thirteen year old rape victim Aisha Ibrahim Duhulow was stoned to death for adultery on October 27 by a group of fifty men in a stadium in Kismayu, Somalia while 1,000 spectators looked on. Again, nothing denouncing this human tragedy appeared on any of these ‘moderate,’ peace-pushing, justice-for-all sites.

Why the silence?

Is this a tacit agreement in ideology?

Are these the kinds of legitimate questions that are more often than not considered blasphemous and Islampohobic to an extremist Muslim mindset where the priority of offense is to religious sensibility and replaces the collective moral outrage of the murder of a 13 year old rape victim?

I must be misinformed by a lying and ignorant world media reporting these horrors, as I am told repeatedly that Islam treats women, Muslims and all people with equality and dignity. The real bastards of such women’s oppression apparently are Western nations, as I’ve learned from reading an insightful essay entitled the liberation of women on the Canadian Islamic Congress website written by Mr. Canadian Peace and Justice himself Dr. Elmasry. 

I do believe that Canada should intervene on behalf of Mohamed Kohail. I also believe that Canadians need to work far harder to show strong objection to the moral depravity of a Saudi social, cultural and legal system and to shame others like it, that continue to perpetuate such brutality, bigotry and backwardness. I also believe that countries which deploy the systematic and regular murder of rape victims accused of the crime of adultery should be criticized internationally as rogue establishments, unworthy of respect. Any group which supports, justifies, condones or excuses such extremism either openly or by silent applause should be condemned and ridiculed.

While Canadian Kohail awaits his execution and Aisha Ibrahim Duhulow lays dead, Islamism in it’s most perverse and hypocritical state continues in Canada.

Egyptian Coptic Christian Father Boutros a no-show on Coren

Posted on by

Award winning journalist and Canadian television broadcast host Michael Coren was set to interview Father Zakaria Boutros, a leading figure of the Egyptian Coptic Christian community. Father Boutros was a no-show leaving the interview suddenly cancelled.

Outspoken Father Boutros, a little known figure to most North Americans but a well known adversary to many of the Muslim faithful and the chapter and verse cleric circle in the Islamic world, now resides in exile in the United States. Twice being arrested in his homeland coupled with a recent $60 million bounty on his head issued by Saudi Arabia and Iran and with al-Qaeda intent on fulfilling the recent fatwa, authorities felt it too dangerous for the priest to travel to Canada for the Coren interview. Mr. Coren writes a thoughtful article in Canada’s National Post relating to the issue.

Named Islam’s public enemy #1 by Arabic newspaper al-Insan al-Jadid, Father Boutros refuses to be subjected to dhimmitude as a non-Muslim in clear defiance to the accordance of verse 9:29 of the Quar’an which reads:

“You shall fight back against those who do not believe in God, nor the Last Day, nor do they prohibit what God and His messenger have prohibited, nor do they abide by the religion of truth-among those who received the scripture-until they pay the due tax, willingly or unwillingly”.

Refusing to have his efforts thwarted by radicals to openly criticize Islam, he appears frequently on the Arabic channel al-Hayat via satellite to address controversial topics of theological interest such as censorship, women’s rights in Islam, religious conversion, the persecution of converts and the Islamic mandated dhimmitude status of minorities.

Egypt’s Coptic Christian community is the oldest and largest Christian community in the Middle East representing 10 to 20% of Egypt’s eighty million people. High levels of emigration rates have seen a decline in the number of Copts due to increasing levels of discrimination and acts of violence perpetrated against them by Islamist militants supported by an often complicit and uncaring Egyptian government.

Father Zakaria Boutros recognizes this intolerance all too well and insists that freedom of religion when practiced without intimidation and threat, can bring understanding, respect and tolerance of difference to the Egyptian people. Boutros unapologetically challenges the teachings of Islam and the prophet Muhammed who he claims had his mind set on the worldly pursuits of women, perfume and food. His provocative statements are designed specifically to challenge Muslims to examine their faith, the many Quaranic contradictions and false doctrine. He does so, speaking fluent Arabic and with Islamic scholarship with verse 9:30 of the Quar’an ever hanging over his head:

“The Jews said, ‘ Ezra is the son of God’, while the Christians said, ‘Jesus is the son of God!’. These are blasphemies uttered by their mouths. Thus, they match the blasphemies of those who have disbelieved in the past. God condemns them. They have surely deviated.”

Michael Coren notes that it is Boutros’s accessibility and creativity that make him so despised by militant Muslims. Religious freedom and conversion are so threatening to Islam that Iran has revised it’s laws to counter freedom of religious choice, a freedom supported by much of the world.

Consider the fact that the Iranian parliament has recently voted on a draft bill through it’s “Islamic Penal Code” to punish any women leaving Islam with imprisonment for life and the immediate execution of any man charged with apostasy. 196 in support, 7 opposed. In keeping in tandem with such nations as Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Egypt, Sudan and the Gulf states, Iran has legally institutionalized into it’s official doctrine the moral and socially unacceptable crime of religious conversion; a crime punishable by death.

I believe the world would benefit tremendously with a thousand more brave people like Father Boutros with the courage to say ” Islam cannot stand in front of intellectual questions. They don’t (clerics) want anybody to ask and learn. This is Islam; you have to accept it as it is, ‘lest you should be killed”.

And as Michael Coren wrote; spend time with an Egyptian Christian living in forced exile and the stories and the pain tumble forth as the toxins of dark experience flow from their memories. Or, speak to Father Zakaria Boutros, if he is allowed to travel and manages to survive the multi-million dollar bounty on his head.

Although he may be confined, his message for freedom is clear.

Taliban blow up ass, killing one, wounding three

Posted on by

The Taliban are becoming more creative in their bomb carrier selection. Instead of strapping explosives to mentally handicapped young women or using seven year old boys as human bombs, the donkey is the latest choice in improvised killing technology. How clever. 

The Ottawa Citizen carries a story in today’s edition, detailing how a donkey, loaded with explosives had been tied to a pole and blown to bits by a remote detonator. The blast occurred close to a police vehicle killing one policeman, seriously injuring two other officers and wounding one civilian.

Once again it’s apparent that the jihadists are not afraid to put their ass on the line.

Freedumb in Afghanistan, Islam style.

Posted on by

How do you spell freedom in Afghanistan?

F R E E D U M B.

On October 21,2008 an Afghan appeal court overturned a death penalty ruling against student journalist Sayed Perwiz Kambakhsh, sentencing him instead to twenty years imprisonment. His crime? Questioning the tenets of Islam relating to women. The charge? Blasphemy. 

One year ago, Mr. Perwiz Kambakhsh was arrested for downloading an article from the internet which discussed and questioned Islam’s treatment of women under sharia law. He proceeded to bring the article in question to journalism class, presumably hoping to debate it’s contents. His professor informed the authorities and he was promptly arrested and charged with insulting Islam.He sits in pul-e-Charki prison. This was not an act committed by the Taliban, but by the Afghan government, which surely must convince even the most stubborn defender of the world’s religion of peace that brutality and ignorance meted out against Afghanis is not specific to Taliban henchmen. The government itself is devoted to the same Islamic idiocy albeit to a somewhat lesser degree. Sharia law is incorporated into the Afghan constitution; insulting Islam is illegal and blasphemy is a crime punishable by death.

The judges presiding over Mr. Perwiz Kambakhsh’s speedy and closed trial, epitomize the seemingly overwhelming low level of average intellect among Afghanistan’s elite policy makers and legal officials. These same judges were left confused, unaware and bewildered that an article could be downloaded and printed from the internet at all, yet believe themselves fully qualified to oversee legal proceedings which impact the lives of Afghanis in the 21st century.

“The judges who are living in the Middle Ages did not understand the case and readily complied” says Kambakhsh”s brother Sayed Yaqub Ibrahimi, also a journalist. He asserts that Islamists pressured President Hamid Karzai and the appeal court to impose the stiff penalty and asks countries like Canada to intervene on behalf of his brother and condemn the ruling.

In an article from today’s Ottawa Citizen,” Canada must protest sentence of Afghan ‘blasphemer’ brother says” Mr. Ibrahimi notes that his brother has one more chance to appeal the ruling to Afghan’s Supreme Court. It is at this junction he believes Canada could intervene. ” Canada is one of the biggest supporters of Afghanistan. It must ask President Karzai why it is spending millions and millions of dollars for democracy, justice and freedom (when cases like this happen).

Perhaps we should. Or perhaps not.

There can be no doubt by international and rational standards, the penalty brought against Mr. Perwiz Kambakhsh is extreme and unwarranted. If Canada were to consider protesting this sentence and confronting President Karzai on such matters, then perhaps it would also be timely and appropriate to include Canadian Muslim organizations to accompany the Canadian government in issuing a joint statement of condemnation. It would be a breakaway opportunity to end their silence on such matters and contribute in the denouncement of Mr. Kambakhsh’s treatment while simultaneously promoting Western progressive, egalitarian and tolerant ideals they have come to admire and have had the advantage to experience.

Surely, Dr. Muhammed Elmasry of the Canadian Islamic Congress would welcome such an opportunity to exercise his groups long established record on insisting the progression of human rights and fairness for all Muslims. By extending it’s zeal to help a fellow brother of faith in a case clearly mismanaged, the CIC could shake it’s obsession with condemning the Canadian media and to stand behind it’s purported mandate of good will, peace, solidarity and aid as national spokesmen of Canada’s Muslim majority.

Additionally, Muslim organizations such as the CIC and Caircan may be briefly catapulted away from their standard insistence and inflated notion that Muslims are victims primarily of Western, bullish, Islamophobic tactics and openly realize the fact that the vast majority of brutality and oppression perpetrated against Muslims globally comes first and foremost from Islam itself in Islamic nations. 

If Canada’s much despised presence in Afghanistan and billions of tax payer dollars are to be spent promoting the principles of democracy and individual freedom amongst a populace either unable or unwilling to progress only to have cases such as this come to the fore where stone age mindset is the obvious rule, then perhaps it is time to re-evaluate our commitment and stop enabling such an ignorant and lost cause, that is Afghanistan.

Unlikely as it is, I would like to believe that Sayed Perwiz Kambakhsh would receive fair legal treatment in his appeal in this case and hope for his release. As unlikely, would be any denouncement from Canadian Muslim organizations in relation to such harsh religious interpretation and Mr. Kambakhsh’s ordeal. All things considered and seven years later the fact remains, this is Afghan freedumb, Islam style.

God is Great

Posted on by

For anyone believing Canada is without elements of terrorism or that al-Qaeda supporters are poor, marginalized, confused, youth to be pitied and treated with kid gloves under the spoof of cultural relativism, the following story From Canada’s National Post should provide a glimpse of the truth.

“Altar” as he is known in cyberspace makes no attempt to hide his distain for Canada, her people or his support for murderous terrorist ideals. Praising terror leader Osama bin Laden, Altar spews his hateful rhetoric on an online forum supporting al-Quaeda.

” Fighting in the path of Allah is not terrorism, it is a door to paradise.”

“ I want to chase the non-Muslims from Canada. Only their deaths will make Islam triumphant. God is Great.”

Terrorism expert Bruce Hoffman, a professor at Georgetown University’s Edmund A. Walsh School of Foreign Service, notes that al-Qaeda sites are password protected and access is controlled, limiting the rhetoric to young radicals to join online forums to promote al-Qaeda. And Altar is not alone.

In January of this year, the RCMP investigated a Toronto university student who had repeatedly posted internet messages supporting attacks on Canada and, in April, another Islamist urged followers to support the Taliban and called for the deaths of moderate Canadian Muslims.

I will concede that the Altars are indeed marginalized, as they should be. But there is nothing confusing or warranting of pity when examining the twisted mind of a person(s) who wishes the death and destruction of innocents; the radical Islamist objective is clear, and according to officials the sentiment supportive of it is disturbingly increasing.

“ May Allah guide us to always defend our religion. That the Crusaders whether in Iraq or in Ottawa, the sword of Islam will fall on their head.”

Of course, God is Great.

Quebec man urges al-Qaeda to attack Canada

Internet Message

Stewart Bell, National Post Published: Thursday, October 16, 2008

A Quebec man has posted messages on the Internet encouraging al-Qaeda to attack Canada, the latest in a series of similar sentiments that are worrying counterterrorism officials.

The author of the messages, who uses the pseudonym Altar, praised terror leader Osama bin Laden and asked why al-Qaeda was focusing its efforts only on Europe instead of Canada. “Allah is great and may Allah bless Sheikh bin Laden. That the sword held by the hand of al-Qaeda hits not only Europe, but that is hits all our enemies. Wherever they are,” he wrote in a Sept. 25 posting.

“Me, I live in Canada and the Canadian government supports the Americans. The government of Canada supports Israel. Canadian soldiers are sent to Afghanistan and Iraq.

“Now it’s Canada’s turn.”

A copy of the message, posted to a French-based Internet forum called Minbarsos, was found by the SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors terrorist Web sites. In his online biography, Altar writes that he is a Sunni Muslim who lives in Quebec and that: “I want to chase the non-Muslims from Canada. Only their deaths will make Islam triumphant. God is Great.”

Fundamentalist ideology in Canada

Posted on by

Canada’s first elected Muslim woman politician Moroccan born Fatima Houda-Pepin has expressed much discomfort concerning the radical interpretation of Islam spreading throughout Canada. What had shocked her most upon her arrival to the nation, was the level of indoctrination of Islamism, where many Muslim women are left veiled inside their own homes and are subjected to fundamentalist ideology preached by trained Imams who are often paid by foreigners to spread radical Islam. Their aim? To isolate Muslims from their host society to promote and secure Islamism on behalf of an intended global community without borders.

Houda-Pepin asserts that the ” Islam of knowledge and tolerance” is being transformed in Canada to a straight-jacket and reduced to a series of impositions most often perpetrated on women. A lack of knowledge of Islam and Muslims by the average Canadian allows radicals the free reign to impose their views and, coupled with the indifference of the authorities who believe that “ethnic trouble” is best settled within the community, Islamism is set free.

Islamist groups using this indifference and ignorance have shaped and adopted an aggressive strategy. They have positioned themselves as spokespeople for the Muslim ‘majority’ leaving the true majority of moderate Muslims anxious and concerned while trying to integrate into the mainstream society with peaceful purpose.

” This is the vulnerability of these communities among which the silent majority do not dare confront the Islamists on their own ground”, Houda-Pepin maintains.

Extremism more often than not, is initially rooted within minorities themselves. In 1990 fundamentalists called to impose sharia law in Toronto only to be quickly smacked down by Muslim women. The call re-surfaced again in 2003 this time with a more polished sales pitch, an increased level of aggression and a broader reach. The second smack down came from the province of Ontario. The national and international level of opposition toward sharia’s adoption was fierce and in May of 2005 members of the Quebec National Assembly voted unanimously to reject a motion to implement Islamic law. Within thirteen years, the high level of mainstream ignorance of Islamism had lowered and continues to drop due in large part to the efforts of many like Ms. Houda-Pepin and others who understand and expose the danger of extremist ideology.

The radicals once again had to regroup and reposition. Not ones to miss an opportunity to step up the rhetoric, they judged Houda-Pepin as a racist, secular-Muslim Liberal leading Canada on a dangerous path with her rejection of sharia.

Bear in mind, set backs of this nature are considered only minor, frustrating nuisances and in no way signal defeat. Islamist influence continues to spread where it’s proponents lead a conflict within nations considered morally corrupt, Godless and decadent. The strategy involves using laws which guarantee religious freedom to gain ground for sharia, by which each and every Muslim must adhere. By keeping communities closed, criticism at bay, moderates intimidated into silence and law-fare flowing, sharia may be successfully implemented. Lives are governed according to Quaranic principle regardless of a host nation’s secular system and the ‘community without borders’ for the ummah is further secured.

As you may imagine Fatima Houda-Pepin is not well regarded amongst the Planet Islam set. But that’s not important. What is, is the increasing awareness that Islamists work diligently in Canada and around the globe to foster and implant an ideology so completely incompatible with the fundamentals of basic human dignity and respect for individual freedom.

London publisher’s home firebombed while Iranians read up on Jew hating

Posted on by

London police have seized three men in connection with a fire bomb attack on publishing company Gibson Square Book’s boss Martin Rynja’s home. The men all cloaked in black aged 40, 33 and 20 are being held in custody under Britain’s Terrorism Act. Mr. Rynja was not injured in the blast.

Gibson Square Books is set to release a novel which describes the private life of the prophet Muhammed and his relationship with his nine year old bride Aisha.

Critics have described the novel, The Jewel of Medina, as pornographic. The fictional book written by U.S. author and journalist Sherry Jones was initially intended to be published by Random House but they cancelled the consideration after an Islamic scholar attacked it’s contents. Random House pulled out after Texas professor Denise Spellberg thought it necessary to ‘warn’ Muslims of the book’s ‘nature’. She states, ” You can’t play with a sacred history and turn it into soft core pornography”.

Although the incident draws a comparison with the threats issued against Salman Rushdie’s life for The Satanic Verses, Mr. Rynja appears relatively unconcerned about the reaction leveled against him believing that the publishing of the Jewel of Medina is a necessary and important step to preserve freedom of expression. The book is set to be released in October.

Meanwhile in Iran………

Iran’s education minister Alireza Ali-Ahmadi looked on while a group of militant students from the Basij militia group unveiled a book ridiculing Holocaust victims during an anti-Israeli rally in central Tehran. The book comes two years after an Iranian newspaper commissioned a competition of Holocaust-themed cartoons. The book’s cover depicts a traditionally dressed Jew with a hooked nose ( a favorite visual theme of anti-Semites) drawing chalk outlines of dead bodies on the pavement.

Other entries in the book include images of Jews shown leaving and re-entering gas chambers and another of a hospital patient draped in the flag of Israel breathing in Zyklon-B, the poisonous gas used at death camps.

The official rally for Qods Day is an annual event described as a show of solidarity with Palestinians. In reality, it is yet another opportunity for tens of thousands of angry, illiterate placard waving Iranians  to further increase their incessant hatred for Israel and the West. Ever since the 1979 Islamic revolution, Iran has refused to recognize Israel’s sovereignty, referring to the state as a Zionist regime. In typical Islamist fashion, the book titled “Holocaust” seeks to cast doubt over the massacre of over 6 million Jews during Hilter’s dictatorship.

The “Holocaust International Cartoon Contest” was announced by the Iranian government newspaper Hamshahri in 2006. It is the largest newspaper in Iran and is owned by the city of Tehran. The competition received over 1,000 submissions from 62 countries. In the fall of 2006, a selection of 200 of these cartoons were culled and exhibited in the Palestine Museum in Tehran. It was the first internationally publicized exhibition and the largest to date, of anti-Semitic art since 1945. The ambassador of Lebanon and the representatives of the Palestinian territories were among foreign dignitaries who attended.

Meanwhile, back in London………

Publisher Martin Rynja’s home is firebombed by Muslim extremists who will no doubt claim “offense and blasphemy” of the prophet Muhammed. Sensitive politicians, cultural relativist groups and multicultural activists will step over themselves to condemn Gibson Square Books as a radical, antagonistic publishing house. Firebrand Imams will screech The Jewel of Medina as Islamophobic, the work of an American infidel intent on smearing religion and bashing Muslims and England will once again be pressured to appease these hypocrites within Islam.

Chances are also very likely that these same Muslims condone and celebrate the fierce and rabid anti-Semitic hatred so dominant in Iran. In fact some may, just may, have a copy or two of this latest Islamist coffee table book Holocaust handy for an engaging and enlightening read.

Chances are even better that not a word of condemnation will be uttered in England regarding Iran’s……art.

Jack Layton opens his party to front for Islamists

Posted on by

There is no doubt in my mind that the Canadian Islamic Congress (CIC) is an organization promoting extreme Islamist ideology operating in Canada with it’s president Muhammed Elmasry, top resident radical, at the operating helm.

Unlike other Muslim organizations who intend to secure a respectful and harmonious relationship within Canadian society, the CIC maintains an aggressive and relatively unchecked campaign to navigate Canada toward Islamic statehood.

There is no better illustration of this than it’s endorsement of the New Democratic Party in the upcoming federal election. As the Congress busies itself duping socialist politicians (with little to no understanding of the true nature of the Islamist agenda) into believing they are representative of a humanitarian and peaceful stance, Jack Layton and his NDP party endorse CIC operative Salima Laouini in the Montreal riding of Bourassa in the name of cultural diversity. Last week I wrote on this issue. For details see “ Islam, politics and the Canadian left in the current federal election”. 

The following is an excellent article written by Salim Mansur, columnist for the Toronto Star. He also weighs in on the issue, illustrating the connection between socialist political opportunism and radical Islam’s intent to further it’s own political manifest destiny within Canadian society. To quote Mansur, ” Islamism is a totalitarian ideology masquerading as a religion, not dissimilar to Bolshevism and Maoism”.

” In Canada and other western countries the Islamist agenda is to push for the recognition of sharia as a parallel legal system. This would make allowance for sharia-based rules; unequal male-female relationships, dress codes and gender exclusion, divorce and child custody, inheritance rules, polygamy, limited free speech in discussions of Islam- that run counter to the values of secular, liberal democracy”, Mansur continues to write.

” Since most Canadians are generally uninformed of the distinction between Islam and Islamism, they are readily open to the deception of Islamists”.

There is little excuse for any federal political party to be so completely uninformed and ignorant of the nature of Islamism in Canada and to be blind to it’s purveyors is grossly negligent. 

The CIC touts itself as an exclusively Canadian non-government organization with no affiliation to any group, body, ideology or government, representing an independent voice for Canada’s Muslims. Really???

temporary setback.

Posted on by

We have experienced a temporary setback as Eeyore has had difficulty with his hard drive which has resulted in a bit of a slowdown of daily content.

There are however, a LOT of excellent resources and movies here on Vlad which are timeless. Check out the page Islam: What the west wants to know for example which has a lot of important and non dated movies as well as many of the older articles are about ongoing issues.

Vlad will be back to it’s usual level within a few days. There is no shortage of newsworthy items to post and comment on, and we look forward to resuming our daily postings. Look forward to a detailed report on the Mujahideen/ India bombing affair and other articles.

Damn the macintosh.

9/11 troother: Canadian grit candidate Leslie Hughes apologizes?

Posted on by

Who ever said Canadian politics was boring? Stephan Dion, leader of the Liberal Party has demanded the immediate firing Tory candidate Lee Richardson for statements he made suggesting immigrants are prone to committing crimes.

Meanwhile, Liberal candidate Leslie Hughes has stated that 9/11 was a U.S. plot and that Israeli businesses left the twin towers in time to avoid the catastrophe. In a 2002 article entitled ” Get the Truth”, Ms. Hughes wrote that internet journalists had uncovered a ‘disturbing picture’ about the attacks indicating that CIA had ‘foreknowledge and complicity of highly placed officials in the U.S. government around the attacks on the World Trade Centre, September 11″.

Ms. Hughes states ” I am a lifelong friend and supporter of the Jewish community (in Winnipeg) and I am deeply distressed by any suggestion to the contrary. I find any interpretation of my journalism as anti-Semitic personally offensive and I heartily apologize for that perception”.

This is an apology? Is she not in fact saying that perhaps the dimwits who have managed to misinterpret her statement are the offenders? According to Leslie Hughes, we have offended her. She oozes typical leftist logic filled with bloated indignation, arrogance and personal irresponsibility. 

And this is a woman who wants to make laws in Canada.

“Bond to do evil”; Islamist found guilty of terrorism in Canadian court

Posted on by

Recently, this site posted two articles pertaining to the arrest and detainment of the infamous Toronto 18. Both articles, “Video: Ontario Canada Islamic terror training camp” and “jihad jingle bells in the snow” provide details into the alleged plot by Islamists to carry out death and destruction on Canada’s civilian population. They are worth a read to gain some insight into the case(s).

With today’s update, Justice John Sproat has rejected defence lawyer Mitchell Chernovsky’s portrayal of his client as a “naive, teenaged Muslim convert, eager to please his new peers and a young man oblivious to any murderous conspiracy”. He rendered a guilty verdict which was handed down this morning. The accused was arrested two years ago along with seventeen others in a massive anti-terrorism sweep in the Toronto area and is the first of the accused members to have undergone trial. The group conspired to obtain firearms, detonate truck bombs with the leader of the group suggesting the accused youth was the “ideal candidate” to behead the Prime Minister in a raid on Parliament.

Crown attorney John Neader summed it up nicely in his closing statement: ” The men shared a bond to do evil”.

Today’s verdict is an important one, as it is the first in a series of trial cases to prosecute terror suspects under Canada’s new anti-terrorism legislation.
