This offends me as a human being


Yet more proof that the Saudis were behind 911. They just made it blatantly loud and clear the minute their state media posted this picture.

Meanwhile, Trump will be too busy wiping Saudi semen off of his chin to take any notice of this kind of threat to a NATO ally...

Glad to know our real NATO friends like the UK, France, Germany, Australia, etc would have our backs should another sick and twisted terrorist attack like this happen again.

Saudi Arabia is ultimately responsible for most of the world's terrorism today. The rise of terrorism in the Islamic world coincides with the aging of the first group to pass through those Saudi funded madrassas schools they've paid for around the Muslim world. Saudi Arabia has spent over $100 billion spreading their religious hate through paying for mosques, Islamic schools, Islamic cultural centres and Islamic study centres throughout the world - including in Canada. They pay for religious material and supply mullahs to mosques and schools throughout the world - including to Canada.

ISIS fanatics subscribe to the Saudi Wahaabi version of Islam, as does Al Quaeda, Boko Haram, Al Shabaab, and almost every other Islamic terrorist group from Lebanon to Indonesia.

Canada has done _nothing_ to stem the flow of Saudi government money into Canada to influence our Muslim population towards their violent, hateful version of Islam. We should put a halt to it at once, along with the importation of Saudi imams or mullahs to preach their vile anti-western, anti-Christian, anti-Semitic views.

I say good, the Saudis should also recall all the terrorist Muslims from Canada back to their shithole Muslim country.

I sure hope that the RCMP and CSIS concentrate lots of resources on this group who have just let slip their motives. They damned well should, anyway. This is just the sort of current threat that needs their resources concentrated upon.

I don’t love him but on this issue his government is getting it right.

I will say Canada is very comfortable with our position. We are always going to speak up for human rights; we're always going to speak up for women's rights; and that is not going to change," she told a news conference.

Firstly it appears I've been wrong about human rights, for the longest time I believed human rights meant rights for both men and women....libs obviously prefer to divide personkind rights.
Secondly I'll venture more than a few canucks are not comfortable about selling military harware to a vicious and brutal regime, as per usual freeland & libs make goofy assumptions n' blow more smoke.

Twitter account shut down following alarming tweet

A tweet that appeared while the dispute between Canada and Saudi Arabia developed. (TWITTER)
An alarming Twitter response to the developing Saudi Arabia-Canada dispute that appeared to show a passenger jet flying into Toronto’s CN Tower was quickly deleted Monday
The Twitter account belonging to infographic_KSA, who describe themselves as “a voluntary non-profit project managed by a group of Saudi youth who are interested in technology and social media,” but widely seen as a pro- Saudi government, initially posted the threatening photo with the words: “Sticking one’s nose where it doesn’t belong!”
Below those words were “As the Arabic saying goes: He who interferes with what doesn’t concern him finds what doesn’t please him.”
An apology was quickly issued and the Twitter account was shut down later in the day.
(TWITTER)
The posts came as Saudi Arabia ordered Canada’s ambassador to leave the country and froze all new trade and investment on Sunday. Saudi Arabia’s move came followed a tweet Friday from Global Affairs Canada which expressed concerns about the arrests of civil and women’s rights activists and asking the Saudi government to immediately release them.
Before shutting down, the site posted: “Earlier we posted an image which was inappropriate, which is why we deleted the post immediately. The aircraft was intended to symbolize the return of the Ambassador, we realize this was not clear and any other meaning was unintentional. We apologize to anyone who was offended.”
For their part, Toronto Police said they were aware of the tweet: “The Toronto Police Service continuously monitors security issues within the city of Toronto and around the world. In response, we make the appropriate adjustments to our plans in order to mitigate the potential risks to public safety.”
Saudi state airline Saudia also announced Monday that it would suspend flights to and from Toronto starting Aug. 13.

We should have cut ties with these assholes a long time ago. Unfortunately, the Prime Minister is lacking in the testicle department, so the best he could do was whimper about human rights and let them do the severing.

You call it religious hate, while it is not the religious hate, but the noble Islam teachings as they are pure in the glorious Quran.
http://www.quran-ayat.com

Here, I call Canada, the European countries and the other free countries of the world .. to be alert about the Zionist activity including their organizations and lobby especially the economic nets of bankers: these Wicked Zionists are like the octopus or spider and worse and more dangerous.

We should have cut ties with these assholes a long time ago. Unfortunately, the Prime Minister is lacking in the testicle department, so the best he could do was whimper about human rights and let them do the severing.

Before retiring, you went to fight in Afghanistan and Iraq .. to make your ?? glory by transgressing on other countries .. and to get good salary and income as the mercenary.
But no chance given to you to fight other Muslim countries yet .. certainly you are good and you are civilized.

======================================================

Don't worry, Canadians: Trump the Zionist Jew will solve the problem for your behalf .. just by phone: he phones his minions and servants: the puppy kings and princes: the servants of the Wicked Zionists of Tel Aviv.

So if Canada is truly concerned about the human rights .. etc, why didn't they defend the true Islamic free men imprisoned in jails full of them in the Saudi Arabia.
The Saudi jails are full of the free Islamic faithfuls, since a considerable time.

While Canada was pathetic only about some people: secular and non-religious: the servants of the West!?

The same Twitter twit in Canada that sent this tweet towards the Saudis is the same one that sent one toward Trump calling him an idiot which put us way down on a trade deal list. Wahhabism should be curbed world wide and their human rights record should be looked at but it should be by the UN and the world to condemn it not just Canada. This same attitude got the Gov. laughed outta China, India, and a host of other countries including the US when they stated that a progressive deal is important, but it should be in a subsection of the agreement not in the meat of the agreement.

I'm starting to wonder if that threatening tweet didn't originate with a Russian "disruptor". If a Saudi really sent that threat, he/she is terminally stupid. The discord that it is generating is right out of Putin's current play book, though.

As far as the rest of the Saudi outrage is concerned, don't let the door hit your ass when you leave, Abdullah.

I think it was a bad joke by one of the Saudis in response to the Tweet that started it all

Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland says Canada isn't backing down from its position that led to diplomatic sanction from Saudi Arabia.
Freeland made the comments Monday afternoon in Vancouver a day after Saudi Arabia announced it would cease new trade deals with Canada and expel the Canadian ambassador.
"I will say Canada is very comfortable with our position. We are always going to speak up for human rights; we're always going to speak up for women's rights; and that is not going to change," she told a news conference.
"Canadians expect our foreign policy to be driven by and to embody Canadian values, and that is how we intend to continue our foreign policy."

© Jimmy Jeong/Canadian Press Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland told a news conference Monday that Canada stands by its comments about human rights in Saudi Arabia that led to diplomatic sanctions from the country.
On Friday, Global Affairs Canada had tweeted, "Canada is gravely concerned about additional arrests of civil society and women's rights activists in Saudi Arabia, including Samar Badawi. We urge the Saudi authorities to immediately release them and all other peaceful human rights activists."
The Saudi foreign ministry ordered Canada's ambassador, Dennis Horak, to leave the country, and called the use of "immediately release" in Canada's tweet "unfortunate, reprehensible, and unacceptable in relations between states."

Freeland's office sparked the fire with their tweet IMO
