Dozens of community members in Cold Lake, Alta. came together on Friday afternoon to clean up a local mosque after it was vandalized.

The vandalism at the mosque, which included smashed windows and racist messages, was discovered Friday morning. The words "Go home" were written multiple times across the outside of the building in red spray paint.

Volunteers on Friday afternoon cleaned up the façade and removed the racist scrawlings. A poster with the phrase “Love your neighbour” was also seen in a window.

Ottawa, October 24, 2014 — The Honourable Jason Kenney, Minister for Multiculturalism, issued the following statement condemning the act of vandalism against the Cold Lake Mosque:

Does anybody think Jason could have said anything else? Like what he thinks? HAHAHA! Is this a test Bear? (grin)

I think he was referring to people that want to be Canadians. Not those that come here with all the baggage of their homeland and demand that we change to what they want. Like Canadians of convenience.

The 'Canadian' way of dealing with Islam is through Conversion.. not destruction and vandalism. That said Islam in its purity.. and it is a religion that rigidly DEFINES all social and judicial institutions & practices, and is not open to debate or deviation on the issue.. is ultimately irrencilable at a political level with Canadian democratic values.
