#2 You mean we're finally catching on to your underhanded actions, getting a little steamed, and just might kick all your asses back to where you came from ?

#3 The way I read it, it seems the Muslim Canadian academics think the intelligentsia of the west have shut up and want them to start debating again, and not to worry about the temper tantrums of a few extremists, and not to worry about being called islamophobic. They think the debate is good to develop a better understanding of the moderate majority, I would think. It seems to be a positive article, not a negative one.

#4 What about if they asked themselves about "root causes" and about "why they hate us?" ?

#5 Thus confirming their basic cowardice in the face of an enemy who might hit back...

Pretty much sums up the whole "subversive" thingie, doesn't it? Much easier to offend people who don't mind being offended, or at least who can't or won't fight back, like, say, christians.

#7 Under the circumstances, one would think the best choice Muslim Canadians could make would be to explain how their stance differs from that of the Muslim extremist yobbos they desire to be seen as different than. Locking their keyboards seems counterproductive to me.

#8 They think the debate is good to develop a better understanding of the moderate majority

What moderate majority? The one that keeps letting Wahabbist imams run their mosques? The one that lets Wahabbist literature flow from their mosques?

The one that keeps supporting "charities" that fund jihadis?

Interesting you should bring this up:

#10 And when they defect and become Christians in growing numbers, then, Islamic radicals will begin to decline and the whole beheading culture will disappear. But, the muzzies must make it happen or die with the lunatics. There will be no free passes.

#11 Nice to hear someone's finally talking about it, Rafael. But look at this:

According to the Canadian Press, the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions which regulates banks, trust companies and other financial institutions sent Minister of Finance Jim Flaherty a briefing note on suspicious transactions earlier in the year. It indicated that $180 million was linked to the financing of terrorism.

That's Canada alone.

$180,000,000. For jihad.

From the "small minority of extremists".

In Canada. Alone.

#12 Very moderate.

#13 We don't support terrorism, but we do give them every cent we can get our hands on.
