I was referring to you and your moronic hate on for anybody left of Genghis Khan.
Fed up with Islam Yet???
- Thread starter Colpy
- Start date
So here is a response I got a while back about another of my little copmments on the evils of lettingt Muslims immigrate to Canada. This guy has a degree of hate that does not fit well in an honest democracy where everybody OUGHT to be equal! Here is the reply:
Lorrie Goldstein is a Zionist Jew warmongering neoconservative. Your beloved CON-servatives like American
Republican-style neocon Steven Harper
are Christian Zionist idiots who kiss the
ass of the Jews as they believe that the
creation of the State of Israel in 1948
signals the return of Jesus Christ!
Harper, Bush, McCain, Romney, et al
are all a bunch of Christian Zionist
Jew ass kissers who are prepared
to sacrifice Canadian blood and treasure
to fight Israel's enemies for them.
I dislike the lies, corruption and reckless spending of the Liberals and NDP too,
but make no mistake, Conservatives are
beholden to banks, corporations and
Jews.
Trump is a Paleoconservative isolationist
who does not kiss the ass of the Jews
at least. Canadian Conservatives are all
neoconservative warmongers who follow
the British model of conservatism though.
Goldstein is an Israel Firster.
(I have to say this guy is utterly irrational about Jews- if they were so powerful as he rants- would they not SHUT HIM UP just because his crap hurts the ears?)
Man convicted in Via Rail terror plot expands his appeal

TORONTO*-*Schizophrenic terrorist Chiheb Esseghaier is appealing his life sentence for masterminding a plot to derail Via Rail train because he was delusional when he received the harshest penalty in Canadian law, his court documents stated.
“When I filed my original notice of appeal, I was very ill. I suffer from schizophrenia,” stated Esseghaier in documents filed at the Ontario Court of Appeal on Wednesday.
“I have been diagnosed with this mental disorder by multiple doctors.”
Esseghaier, 34, a Montreal scientist, and former Toronto party-boy-turned Muslim extremist, Raed Jaser, 39, were tried on four terrorism charges, including a plot to derail a Via Rail train.
In 2015, Esseghaier was found guilty of all four charges, plus another he faced alone for participating in a terrorist group between Sept. 25, 2012 and Feb. 14, 2013.
Esseghaier wanted to bomb a railway bridge, derailing a Via train and killing innocent commuters, or poison soldiers on a military base. Jaser floated the idea of assassinating rich Toronto Jews with a sniper rifle.
Justice Michael Code branded Esseghaier as “remorseless and dangerous,” while calling Jaser “intelligent, devious and untrustworthy,” as the judge gave both terrorists life sentences for engaging in the most serious class of terrorism offence. Both are appealing.
“When I filed my original notice of appeal (in October 2015), I was suffering from delusions and believed that I would die, and my soul would ascend to heaven on Dec. 25, 2014,” stated Esseghaier.
“Because of these delusion, I did not believe that the life sentence imposed was real and didn’t want to acknowledge the existence or legality of the sentence by appealing it.”
Esseghaier said his change of heart - he was initially only appealing the convictions - occurred after he was treated for his illness since December when he was transferred to a prison in Abbotsford.
“I now know that these beliefs (Christmas Day ascension) are delusional,” wrote Esseghaier.
“I was certified and treated with anti-psychotic medication. Initially, I didn’t agree with this treatment. However, I now see its benefit,” stated Esseighaier. “I acknowledge that I have significant mental health issues and I understand that I need to continue to take the medication prescribed to me in order to stay well.”
Esseghaier stated the reason he didn’t file a sentence appeal earlier was that he “was very unwell and didn’t understand the nature of the sentence imposed on me.
“I was unable to make rational choices,” stated Esseghaier, who contacted lawyer Erin Dann, a court-appointed friend of the court, who’ll assist him in his application to extend the deadline to appeal on this new ground.
Esseghaier’s other grounds of appeal include:
-the Holy Quran “should be the basis of my trial, instead of the Criminal Code,” because the Code is written by humans while the Quran “is a holy book coming from God.
-Psychiatrist Dr. Lisa Ramshaw’s report stated he suffered from schizophrenia since 2009.
“I used to believe I was similar to the prophets Jesus and Joseph,” wrote Esseghaier.
-An undercover FBI agent, who posed as a wealthy American businessman willing to finance the terrorist plots, “motivated me to do plan for attack inside Canada by giving me money, free apartment, free meals and free travel,” wrote Esseghaier.
-Lastly, Esseghaier stated he was “unfit to stand trial” during his trial and sentencing.
Ironically, Esseghaier, who was analyzed by Dr. Ramshaw, told her that he didn’t believe he was mentally ill.
In her report filed in court in 2015, she diagnosed him as delusional and likely schizophrenic.

The whole demonizing of Muslims is to create a smoke screen to divert attention from the real terrorist:
Pakistani village orders rape of 17-year-old girl in 'revenge' for rape of 13-year-old sister

RAJA PUR, Pakistan — Police on Thursday arrested the head of a village council in central Pakistan for allegedly sanctioning the rape of a teenage girl, a police spokeswoman said.
In multiple raids over two days, police also arrested 23 councilmen over the same case, according to the spokeswoman, Shabina Kareem.
The suspects all attended a July meeting in which council chief Saeed Patwari allegedly gave Mohammad Ashfaq permission to rape a 17-year-old girl to avenge the rape of his 13-year-old sister by another man, Omar Wadda.
Such “honour” crimes are still common in some rural Pakistani areas. A village council in 2002 ordered the so-called “honour” gang rape of Mukhtar Mai, a young woman who took her rapists to court. That case gathered international prominence and she later opened a school for rural girls.
In this latest case, a regional police chief and some other officers were fired for their belated response after the first rape took place in the village of Raja Pur, near the city of Multan, on July 16. The second rape followed two days later.
“We will do justice with the both victims,” said Shahbaz Sharif, the chief minister of Punjab province, during a visit to Multan.
Kareem, the police spokeswoman, said Ashfaq was still at large but Wadda has been arrested and charged with raping Ashfaq’s sister.
Residents in Raja Pur stepped forward with shocking details about the council meeting and how the case of the rape was common knowledge.
Mohammad Bilal, a cousin of the 17-year-old rape victim, described how the council declined the family’s request to turn to the police, instead seeking to do justice in line with traditions of the village — and order the second rape.
Bilal said some women from Wadda’s family were present when the council met.
Tahira Abdullah, a top human rights activist, condemned the rapes and said that what the council did was illegal. She demanded stern action against all who sanction such crimes.

Feds don't know how Saudi Arabia got Canadian made military vehicles

OTTAWA — The federal government says it’s trying to find out more about reports that Saudi Arabia is using Canadian made military vehicles in clashes with militants.
An emailed statement from the government says Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland is concerned and has asked officials to look into the matter.
The Globe and Mail reported Friday that the Saudi government was using Canadian made armoured vehicles during six days of fighting with Shia militants.
The newspaper cited experts on military vehicles who examined images and video on social media of this week’s fighting.
The statement from Freeland’s department says Canada expects the users of all exports to follow the terms laid out in export permits.
It says the Canadian government will review all available information and come up with an appropriate course of action.
“If it is found that Canadian exports have been used to commit serious violations of human rights, the minister (Freeland) will take action,” the statement said.
“The end use and end user of exports, as well as regional stability and human rights, are essential considerations in the authorization of permits for the export of military goods from Canada,” the statement said.
There was a furor last year when the Trudeau government proceeded with a $15 billion deal for an Ontario company to sell light armoured vehicles to Saudi Arabia. The agreement was approved by the former Conservative government.
There were calls for the Liberals to cancel the deal given Saudi Arabia’s widely criticized human rights record.
But Freeland’s predecessor Stephane Dion said he couldn’t block exports unless the armoured vehicles were being used against innocent civilians, something he had no evidence of.
Freeland issued a statement on Thursday saying she was concerned about the recent violence in Saudi Arabia.
The Canadian government updated its travel advisory Friday advising Canadians to exercise a high degree of caution due to the threat of terrorist attacks and security incidents and to avoid all travel within 30 kilometres of the border with Yemen.

War memorial unveiled in hometown of Afghan mission's last Canadian casualty

LACOMBE, Alta. — Family and friends of Master Cpl. Byron Greff don’t want the 28-year-old to be remembered as a footnote to Canada’s mission to Afghanistan.
On Oct. 29, 2011 Greff, who was serving with the 3rd Battalion Princess Patricia’s Light Infantry, was riding in an armoured bus as part of a military convoy in Kabul. A Taliban suicide bomber driving a car packed with explosives targeted the bus - killing 17 people including Greff.
He became Canada’s final casualty in Afghanistan - and the only Canadian soldier killed after Canada had completed its military mission several months before.
“Remembrance Day is every day for us and that’s my motto. Doing something like this brings everyone together and it’s just a reminder of the sacrifice,” his wife Lindsay told The Canadian Press in an interview after the unveiling of an Afghanistan memorial in his hometown of Lacombe, Alta.
“It does not get easier with time.”
Greff, who was accompanied by her daughter Brielle, 5, broke into tears when asked what she wanted Canadians to know about her husband.
“That he was a husband and a father and we miss him so much.”
There were 158 Canadian Forces personnel and four civilians killed during the Afghan conflict.
The plaque attached to the decommissioned LAV 3 armoured vehicle read: “In recognition and memory of the efforts of approximately 40,000 Canadian Armed Forces personnel who served and the 162 Canadians who died in the cause of bringing peace and freedom to the people of Afghanistan.”
Former Cpl. Maury Gratrix, a retired sniper who came up through the ranks with Greff and went to Afghanistan together in 2007, Greff was typical of the soldiers who signed up to the dangers in the war torn country.
“He knew the risks going over there and it’s unfortunate that happened but in the big scheme of things it was a pretty honourable way to go and I think we’re all very proud of him.”
Gratrix describes Greff as friendly and intensive and a soldier who took his job very seriously.
“He was a C-9 gunner for a lot of his time there and he was that go to guy if you needed that extra firepower,” said Gratrix who was thinking of Greff and the other soldiers who died overseas.
“It’s long overdue and not just for Byron but for all Afghan veterans. You don’t see a lot of Afghan memorials around and the fact that it’s starting here is a great way to kick it off for sure.”
Lacombe Mayor Steve Christie was a close friend of the Greff family.
“Byron was always in the neighbourhood - a little terror and not scared of anything,” said Christie, who was mayor when Greff was killed.
“To have a memorial to honour what he has given, the sacrifices that he gave - not only for Lacombe, for Alberta but his country. It’s an honour to be part of it and it’s an honour to have it right here in his hometown.”
Christie said it was a “sobering moment” when he heard Byron had died.
“He was one of ours and we miss him dearly and to have something that recognizes the sacrifices that he gave is important,” he said.
Red Deer MP Blaine Calkins said nothing can bring Byron Greff.
“The words that we say here today will not bring back that father or husband or son to us,” Calkins said.
“This monument will not bring back any of the 162 Canadians lost in Afghanistan but it does stand as a reminder for a family and their connection to a father, a husband and a son.”
Greff had been on his second deployment to Afghanistan.

“It’s long overdue and not just for Byron but for all Afghan veterans. You don’t see a lot of Afghan memorials around and the fact that it’s starting here is a great way to kick it off for sure.”
Lacombe Mayor Steve Christie was a close friend of the Greff family.
“Byron was always in the neighbourhood - a little terror and not scared of anything,” said Christie, who was mayor when Greff was killed.
“To have a memorial to honour what he has given, the sacrifices that he gave - not only for Lacombe, for Alberta but his country. It’s an honour to be part of it and it’s an honour to have it right here in his hometown.”
Christie said it was a “sobering moment” when he heard Byron had died.
“He was one of ours and we miss him dearly and to have something that recognizes the sacrifices that he gave is important,” he said.
Red Deer MP Blaine Calkins said nothing can bring Byron Greff.
“The words that we say here today will not bring back that father or husband or son to us,” Calkins said.
“This monument will not bring back any of the 162 Canadians lost in Afghanistan but it does stand as a reminder for a family and their connection to a father, a husband and a son.”
Greff had been on his second deployment to Afghanistan.

Self-radicalized Islamic extremist attacker hoped to die as ‘martyr’ in Hamburg

BERLIN — German prosecutors say the Palestinian man who fatally stabbed one person and wounded six others at a Hamburg supermarket appears to be a self-radicalized Islamic extremist who hoped to die as a “martyr.”
Federal prosecutors, who handle terrorism cases in Germany, said Monday that they were taking over the investigation of the suspect, identified only as Ahmad A. in line with German privacy rules.
They said there’s no evidence that he carried out Friday’s attack as a member of the Islamic State group or any other terror organization, or that he was in contact with or influenced by a member of any terror group.
Prosecutors said the suspect says he decided to pursue a radical Islamic lifestyle two days before the stabbing. The man was overhelmed by passers-by.

A trio of Muslim thugs in England are behind bars thanks to a concerned fellow Muslim.
Edris Nosrati was walking home late after a night out with friends in Liverpool when he saw a white man being roughed up while the man’s girlfriend tried to halt the attack.
“I went to them and said, ‘It’s not fair three people just attacking one person’ and they started asking me if I was Muslim,” Nosrati told the Liverpool Echo about the March 2016 incident.
“I said, ‘It doesn’t matter if I am or I am not, he is a human and it’s not fair for you three to be attacking him’.”
The men then asked if he knew Islamic words and he replied with an Arabic phrase and was told he could leave.
Nosrati feared the men were terrorists because what they were saying was “really dangerous” and decided to follow them while he called police.
“I didn’t give up. I wanted to stop them. If those guys, if nobody caught them and the police didn’t arrest them, they maybe would do something worse,” said Nosrati, who is originally from Iran.
“I felt a responsibility to find them and arrest them. They were asking people for Muslim words and just punching out at Christian people.”
While on his cellphone with police, Nosrati witnessed more attacks before his battery died.
Nosrati caught up with the bullies and tried to grab the phone from the one who was filming another attack.
“He didn’t let me take it and with the mobile (phone) he punched me in my face. I put him in a headlock and dropped him to the ground and I took the mobile.”
Nosrati gave the phone to a policeman who arrived and told him to look at the videos. The troublemaking trio were then arrested.
Amin Mohmed and Mohammed Patel admitted in Liverpool Crown Court last week to punching a man and kicking him in the groin after he said he was Christian.
Faruq Patel only admitted to recording the final attack, which saw a local councillor punched to the ground as his girlfriend tried to intervene.
Mohmed received 42 weeks in jail, while Mohammed and Faruq Patel received 42 and 18 weeks respectively in a young offenders institution.

A murderous pedophile was publicly executed under sharia law by soldiers Monday in Yemen.
Muhammad al-Maghrabi, a 41-year-old convicted of raping and murdering a three-year-old girl, was machine-gunned in the back before a large crowd in the capital city of Sanaa’s main square. Onlookers filmed the execution with mobile phones and television stations broadcast the sentence live.
According to the Daily Mail, Maghrabi was brought to the main square by prison van, forced to lie stomach down on a rug before a soldier stepped up and repeatedly shot into his back from close range with an AK-47 style automatic rifle.
Sharia law is the basis for justice in Yemen, with murder punishable by death. Beheading is the common way death sentences are carried out.

LONDON — Three British men who dubbed themselves the “Three Musketeers” were convicted Wednesday of plotting a bomb attack on troops or police inspired by Islamic extremism.
Jurors at London’s Central Criminal Court found 29-year-old Naweed Ali, 25-year-old Khobaib Hussain and Mohibur Rahman, 33, guilty of preparing terrorist acts, after a trial that was partly held in secret for national security reasons.
A fourth defendant, Tahir Aziz, was convicted of the same charge. Prosecutors say the 38-year-old was brought into the plot in its later stages.
Ali, Hussain and Rahman met while serving prison terms for terrorism offences, prosecutors said. They later set up a group on a messaging app called the “Three Musketeers.”
As they planned an attack, the men were under surveillance by Britain’s domestic intelligence service, MI5, which created a fake courier company in the central England city of Birmingham and hired Hussein and Ali.
In August 2016, undercover officers searched Ali’s car, and discovered weapons including an imitation handgun, a partially constructed pipe bomb and a meat cleaver with the word “kaffir” — infidel in Arabic — scratched onto the blade.
Prosecutors said the men intended to attack police or military targets.
The defendants, from central England, denied the charges and accused police of planting evidence. As they were led from the dock after conviction, one shouted: “I hope you’re happy with your lies! Lying scumbags.”
The four men will be sentenced Thursday.

2 U.S. service members killed in Afghanistan bombing: Pentagon

KABUL — A suicide bombing attack on a NATO convoy in southern Afghanistan on Wednesday left two American service members dead, a Pentagon spokesman said, despite repeated refusals by the U.S. military in Afghanistan to say whether there were any deaths in the assault claimed by the Taliban.
Navy Capt. Jeff Davis confirmed the casualties in the attack near Kandahar city. The Pentagon’s decision to release the figures seemed to contradict orders issued two months ago by Army Gen. John Nicholson, the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan, barring information about U.S. combat deaths until days after the incident.
There was no information on the number of troops wounded.
U.S. military officials in Afghanistan refused to give any information about casualties, even after the Pentagon released the casualty figures.
Nicholson’s orders stifling information from the U.S. military in Afghanistan was met with opposition from within the Pentagon, where officials reportedly tried to resolve the impasse. However, the decision by the Pentagon to release Wednesday’s casualty figures would seem to indicate that the issue has gone unresolved two months into the order.
Nicholson said the reason for the delay was to allow time for notification of family. Yet it upends Pentagon practice since the Vietnam era, and gives the public less information and transparency into a war that has raged for 16 years, resulting in thousands of deaths and injuries.
The Taliban quickly took responsibility for the attack, and a spokesman for the insurgents said the bombing allegedly killed 15 soldiers but the Taliban routinely exaggerate their gains and casualty figures.
In their claim of responsibility, the Taliban also said the attack destroyed two armoured tanks. The insurgents’ spokesman for southern Afghanistan, Qari Yusuf Ahmadi, said fighter Asadullah Kandahari was the “hero” who carried out the attack with a small pick-up truck packed with explosives.
Kandahar province was the Taliban spiritual heartland and the headquarters of their leadership during the five-year rule of the Taliban, which ended with the U.S. invasion in 2001.
The service members were part of an international force referred to as the Train, Advise and Assist Command south, a reference to their location in the country. Five other countries besides the United States are stationed in the south —— Australia, Germany, Bulgaria, Poland and Romania, said U.S. military spokesman in Afghanistan Lt. Damien E. Horvath.
Ghulam Ali, who runs a mechanics shop near the attack site on the outskirts of the city of Kandahar, said the intensity of the blast knocked him out.
When he came to, he saw a military vehicle on fire on the road. He stepped out of his shop but a sudden burst of gunfire drove him back inside, he said. Then, helicopters arrived and he saw soldiers being taken away from the scene but could not determine the extent of their injuries.
The combined U.S. and NATO troop contingent currently in Afghanistan is about 13,500. The Trump administration is deciding whether to send about 4,000 or more U.S. soldiers to Afghanistan in an attempt to stem Taliban gains.
Nicholson’s orders to withhold information about troop casualties distance him from U.S. military commanders in all of the other combat regions of the world - including Iraq and Syria.
The attack in southern Kandahar came as thousands of demonstrators in the western city of Herat transported 31 bodies, the victims of a horrific suicide attack on a Shiite mosque a day earlier, to the residence of the provincial governor.
Protesters were outraged at the audacity of Tuesday evening’s attack, barely 150 feet (50 metres) from a police station. The suicide bomber first sprayed gunfire at the private guards, who were protecting the mosque before running inside firing until his rifle jammed, said witnesses. He then detonated the explosives strapped to his body.
The Islamic State affiliate in Afghanistan took responsibility for the attack saying they had deployed two suicide bombers. Witnesses reported a second explosion 10 minutes after the first bomber blew himself up.
When the carnage ended 32 people were dead and 66 injured, said the provincial governor’s spokesman Jilani Farhad.
The IS said in a statement that the two men, whom it identified as Amir Qassim and Tayeb al-Kharasani, also used automatic rifles in the Shiite mosque before they detonated themselves.
The statement claimed that the attack killed nearly 50 and wounded more than 80.
The Islamic State affiliate in Afghanistan on Monday had warned it would strike Shiites after taking credit for an attack on the Iraq Embassy in the heart of the Afghan capital Kabul. The Sunni militant group considers Shiite Muslims as apostates.
Tuesday’s attack in Herat targeting Afghanistan’s minority Shiites, just a day after the Kabul attack, has frightened Shiites and put further pressure on the Afghan government that is increasingly seen to be impotent to stop the violence.
Also on Wednesday the Taliban ambushed and killed Jaghatu District Gov. Manzur Hussain and a passenger in his car, Ghazni provincial police chief Mohammad Mustafa Mayar said.
The Taliban have stepped up their attacks in recent weeks hitting district headquarters, government officials and Afghan National Security Forces with increasing frequency.

Man accused of massacring villagers fights revocation of Canadian citizenship

This Sept. 21, 2012 photo provided by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) shows Jorge Sosa, a former Guatemalan soldier, as he is extradited to Los Angeles from Canada. Canada is moving to strip citizenship from a man accused of slaughtering villagers in Guatemala using a grenade, gun and sledgehammer. (THE CANADIAN PRESS/AP/U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement)
OTTAWA — A man accused of slaughtering villagers in Guatemala using a grenade, gun and sledgehammer is fighting Canada’s attempt to revoke his citizenship.
Jorge Vinicio Sosa Orantes denies he concealed participation in a 1982 massacre by the Guatemalan military when he obtained Canadian citizenship a decade later.
In documents filed in Federal Court, Sosa Orantes says he was not even in the village of Las Dos Erres when the events took place.
He paints himself as an upstanding instructor at a military training school during the period in question, working with local communities in Guatemala to build good relations.
Sosa Orantes, 59, is serving a 10-year sentence for immigration fraud in the United States, where he also held citizenship until it was revoked in 2014.
(Should that not be good enough to cancel his Cdn citizenship? Yankees have already investigated this guy and found him evil. Why then should LIE-berals waste our time and money on a bad guy?)
In the early 1980s, the Guatemalan military junta began a ruthless campaign against guerrilla groups that wiped out 440 villages, killing over 75,000 people and displacing more than 250,000, the Canadian government says in documents filed in Federal Court.
Canada says Sosa Orantes was a senior member of a military special forces group that led a mission to Las Dos Erres in December 1982 to interrogate inhabitants after some military rifles were allegedly stolen during a guerrilla ambush of troops.
Military members killed at least 162 civilians, including 67 children. Women were raped and children were thrown into an 18-metre dry well.
“The members of the special forces group killed their victims by hitting them on the head with a sledgehammer, by hitting their heads on a tree, by shooting them, or by slitting their throats,” the federal submission says.
“In other cases, victims were simply thrown into the well while they were still alive.”
At one point, Sosa Orantes fired his rifle into the well, then tossed in a grenade, the documents say.
In supervising the killings at the well, he mocked subordinates “who showed any hesitation to commit the murders.”
Sosa Orantes is representing himself in the Federal Court case, filing documents — including a statement of defense in sometimes fractured English — from a Phoenix, Ariz., prison.
“I was not in Las Dos Erres,” he writes.
Sosa Orantes says that in late 1982 and early 1983 he was busy travelling to several towns as part of a goodwill effort, handing out notebooks, pens, chalk, educational games and sports equipment.
“I distributed material to more than 20 schools in the area. I had no information about Las Dos Erres and other ... operations due to the fact that I was a subordinate.”
Sosa Orantes left Guatemala for California in 1985. After being denied asylum in the U.S., he visited the Canadian consulate in San Francisco to seek haven in Canada. He was granted refugee status, later becoming a permanent resident and citizen of Canada.
(Oh great- sloppy immigration research and Canada is again the sucker nation of the world thanks to vote hungry and power mad LIE-berals! Price is No object for vote buying LIE-berals!)
The federal government argues Sosa Orantes failed to disclose details of his military involvement that would have made him inadmissible to Canada.
In his court filing, Sosa Orantes insists he disclosed his military background and “had nothing to hide.”
Sosa Orantes married an American woman and attained U.S. citizenship in September 2008.
In 2010, the U.S. discovered he had committed immigration fraud by concealing his past. He was arrested the following year in Lethbridge, Alta., while visiting family.
In ordering his extradition to the U.S. to face trial, the Alberta Court of Queen’s Bench said the evidence establishes Sosa Orantes was one of the commanding officers who decided to murder the villagers and that he “actively participated in the killings with a sledgehammer, with a firearm and a grenade.”
“It is difficult for this court to comprehend the murderous acts of depraved cruelty on the scale disclosed by the evidence.”
(But LIE-berals are willing to close their eyes to anything bad about any immigrant who will support them! See and hear no evil is LIE-beral style- but in their happy ignorance LIE-berals WILL speak evil!)
Was Ryerson University pressured into cancelling Fatah speech?
By Liz Braun, Toronto Sun

Curiouser and curiouser: That seems to be the state of affairs on some Canadian campuses over issues of free speech.
Executives with the Canada-India Foundation were dismayed to have had an event cancelled by Ryerson University this week, with no explanation given.
The CIF Speaker Series had booked space at Ryerson to hear a speech from Tarek Fatah, the author and columnist controversial for his statements against Islamist extremism. Fatah, who writes for the Toronto Sun, is an award-winning author and activist who founded the Muslim Canadian Congress after the events of 9/11 — both to fight Islamism and to alleviate Islamophobia. He is the host of the Zee News TV talk show Fatah Ka Fatwa’ and is a sought-after speaker in Canada and India.
He is a champion of free speech. He is also a frequent recipient of death threats.
On Aug. 10 his talk, which will be held at a location to be announced, will address “Ghazwa-e-Hind vs. the Ethos of Hindustan.”
Fatah speculates that Ryerson cancelled the CIF event because of pressure from various groups who would protest his speech, such as AntiFa Toronto or the school’s Muslim Students’ Association.
Ryerson’s cancellation was last-minute; a permit to use Ryerson University Campus Premises and Facilities was revoked with no explanation.
When Vipul Jani, executive director of the CIF, asked why the permit was cancelled, he received a response from Voula Cocolakis, executive director of Ryerson University’s Business Services, as follows:
“We certainly understand your frustration, but as per our Rules and Regulations for Permit to Use Ryerson University Campus Premises and Facilities, Ryerson may revoke or cancel the Permit at any time with or without cause.”
Cocolakis did not respond to an e-mail from the Toronto Sun; another e-mail sent to Ryerson president Mohamed Lachemi was replied to by Johanna VanderMaas, Manger of Public Affairs, as follows:
“Thank you for your email; I am happy to respond on behalf of the university.
Unfortunately, Ryerson was unable to accommodate the Canada-India Foundation’s room booking request for August 10; we have expressed our apologies to Mr. Jani and CIF. The university is not aware of any concerns or plans to disrupt Mr. Fatah’s keynote address.”
Asked for the actual reason for cancellation, VanderMaas repeated the above, noting it was the university’s official comment.
One could be forgiven for thinking that Ryerson is ducking the question.
Or that the school is currently plagued by bizarre political goings-on — consider Toronto Sun columnist Sue-Ann Levy’s recent expose of the anti-Semitism a student faced in her dealings with Ryerson School of Social Work field coordinator Heather Bain — who is now on leave.
Freedom of speech issues are taking a drubbing on many North American campuses, with scheduled speakers getting cancelled more frequently, often due to threats of violence from groups who present themselves as occupying the high moral ground.

4 UK men get long prison sentences for plotting bomb attack

LONDON — Three British men convicted of planning a knife and bomb attack on troops or police inspired by Islamic extremism were sentenced Thursday to at least 20 years in prison.
An accomplice received a minimum 15-year-term.
Naweed Ali, Khobaib Hussain, Mohibur Rahman and Tahir Aziz were convicted in a London court on Wednesday of preparing terrorist acts after a trial that was partly held in secret for national security reasons.
Ali, Hussain and Rahman met while serving prison terms for terrorism offences, and later set up a group called the “Three Musketeers” on a messaging app.
The men were arrested in August 2016 after weapons were found in Ali’s car, including a partial pipe bomb and a meat cleaver with “kaffir” — infidel in Arabic — on the blade. Prosecutors say they intended to attack police or military targets.
Prosecutor Bill Emlyn Jones said the defendants probably intended to use their cars as weapons in an attack, as well as knives and the pipe bomb.
Judge Henry Globe sentenced Ali, Hussain and Rahman to life with no chance of parole for 20 years. He said Aziz, a late recruit to the plot, must serve at least 15 years before being considered for parole.
The judge noted that Britain had experienced four deadly attacks during the four-and-a-half month trial. He said that had the “musketeers” gang not been caught, “there would have been not dissimilar terrorist acts in this country using at the very least the explosives and or one or more bladed weapons.”
The defendants, from central England, denied the charges and accused police of planting evidence. Defence lawyers also criticized the decision to hear from two witnesses in secret as they discussed claims by the defendants that Britain’s domestic spy agency had tried to recruit them.
Gareth Peirce, lawyer for Ali and Hussain, released a statement after sentencing expressing “profound concern that the jury in this case has got it wrong.”

Curiouser and curiouser: That seems to be the state of affairs on some Canadian campuses over issues of free speech.
Executives with the Canada-India Foundation were dismayed to have had an event cancelled by Ryerson University this week, with no explanation given.
The CIF Speaker Series had booked space at Ryerson to hear a speech from Tarek Fatah, the author and columnist controversial for his statements against Islamist extremism. Fatah, who writes for the Toronto Sun, is an award-winning author and activist who founded the Muslim Canadian Congress after the events of 9/11 — both to fight Islamism and to alleviate Islamophobia. He is the host of the Zee News TV talk show Fatah Ka Fatwa’ and is a sought-after speaker in Canada and India.
He is a champion of free speech. He is also a frequent recipient of death threats.
On Aug. 10 his talk, which will be held at a location to be announced, will address “Ghazwa-e-Hind vs. the Ethos of Hindustan.”
Fatah speculates that Ryerson cancelled the CIF event because of pressure from various groups who would protest his speech, such as AntiFa Toronto or the school’s Muslim Students’ Association.
Ryerson’s cancellation was last-minute; a permit to use Ryerson University Campus Premises and Facilities was revoked with no explanation.
When Vipul Jani, executive director of the CIF, asked why the permit was cancelled, he received a response from Voula Cocolakis, executive director of Ryerson University’s Business Services, as follows:
“We certainly understand your frustration, but as per our Rules and Regulations for Permit to Use Ryerson University Campus Premises and Facilities, Ryerson may revoke or cancel the Permit at any time with or without cause.”
Cocolakis did not respond to an e-mail from the Toronto Sun; another e-mail sent to Ryerson president Mohamed Lachemi was replied to by Johanna VanderMaas, Manger of Public Affairs, as follows:

Here is an idiot article taken from Toronto Red Star newspaper quoting some LIE-beral goof trying to deflect blame from LIE-beral immigration policies! With some comments of my own in brackets):
Analysts blame Paris attacks on intelligence failures, not refugees.
"This has nothing to do with the wave of immigration," he said. "The same thing would have happened if we hadn't welcomed a single refugee."
http://www.thestar.com/news/world/2015/11/14/analysts-blame-paris-attacks-on- intelligence-failures-not-refugees.
(I say OH RIGHT! What a JOKE! LIE-berals can see just as clearly as the rest of us that the problem is NOT with refugees generally but it IS with Muslim refugees specifically!)
(But LIE-berals are hell bent on displaying their moral superiority and compassion- meaning they use OUR money to BUY Muslim immigrant votes so LIE-berals can cling to power at ANY price! Short term LIE-beral gain means LONG TERM national PAIN!)
(AS Brit PM Margaret Thatcher observed: “ the trouble with LIE-berals is that
eventually they run out of other peoples money”! And some other wit observed: “a LIE-beral is a person who will give away everything that he does not own”!)
(IF we do not allow Muslims to immigrate to western lands then we prevent them from easily attacking us. If we help them restore some semblance of peace in Syria then there will be lower numbers of refugees fleeing the murderous Assad regime. If we stop accepting Muslim refugees then our LIE-beral govt can stop PRETENDING that they are doing security checks on these people; and LIE-berals will also be more limited in their ability to BUY elections! With the added bonus that we might save some tax money!)
( Just how does one do a security check on a refugee from a war torn country run by competing militia armies- many of whom have values and goals HOSTILE to the west? With the added bonus that some Muslim war lords LIKE the idea of helping trouble makers and future jihadists sneak into the west to become murderously active at some later time!)
(For those wanting to blame the cops for the paris attacks I offer nothing but scathing ridicule! To be a cop in this country is to wake up in the morning and make a choice: “what crime do I feel like prosecuting today”? Our LIE-beral hug a thug judges are practicing “catch and release” with thugs because they don’t want to spend the money to put thugs away! This puts cops on a treadmill- re-catching the same goofs over and over to minimize the harm- which means cops have NO TIME and no resources available to watch a pack of Muslims who MIGHT, some day, decide to act up!)
(LIE-berals are LYING when they tell us modern Muslims can blend easily into our society! Fifty years ago, the few Muslims who came here were highly educated and worldly wise and they came here KNOWING they would be a token minority and that it would be THEM who would adapt - NOT US! But now we have so many Muslims- less educated, less worldly wise and much more devout and they DO expect US to adapt! We offer religious freedom and the average Muslim man in the street interprets this as freedom to make demands of us- demands that would violate about half of our vaunted Chater of Rights and Freedoms- the useless bullshit document that Opur idiot Boy Justin uses to justify his purchase of Muslim votes with that $10 million dollar gift to Omar Khadr!)
(LIE-beral policy is a total joke- they bog down our cops and courts with their refusal to give hard jail time to repeat offenders so no cops available for hunting jihadist jerks. They hamstring our immigration judges by making them into rubber stamp artists- just approve any goof who comes before your bench; without asking a lot if hard questions, or you will be fired- for being a Conservative. They refuse to allocate the resources needed to carefully watch Muslims who may be sliding into radical trouble because potential future jihadists are entitled to their privacy. And then when the smelly stuff hits the fan thanks to years of LIE-beral policy- it’s the cops who are blamed! HAHAHAHA! LIE-berals are crappy comedians!)
Muslims are other than the Islam; the Islam is God's religion, while Muslims have their traditions which they follow.
This is like Christians are other than the Christ's teachings, and Jews are other than Moses teachings.
So if you are fed with Islam, what have you else that we may not be fed with?
Therefore, it is a fallacy, on purpose, to accuse the Islam religion with the acts of some Muslims, even these Muslims may be some intelligence agents of Jews and Christians (Zionism and Imperialism)
And out of these Muslims, who will follow the Mahdi when he will come? Muslims themselves have the hadiths and traditions that only a few will follow the Awaited Mahdi when he will come, and that only few Jews, Christians and Muslims may follow him at the start. While the majority of Muslims will deny him.

Congratulations on your command of English- I am sure it is not easy to spout your blathering propaganda and nonsense in a foreign language!
The war between Muslim terrorists and western civilization is not about God- it is about power and control in the same way that Adolf Hitler, Napoleon and Stalin sought power! We in trhe west SCORN Sharia Law because we believe that our Cdn law is superior to Sharia!
For one thing we CAN appeal against Cdn law rulings and make changes- which Muslims cannot do with Sharia without being accused of being apostates and threatened with death for insulting Allah!
Though clearly our Cdn law has flaws- how else to explain Our idiot Boy Justin claiming he had no choice but to give $10 million dollars to the vile Khadr? Either our law has a LARGE loophole that a new govt will some day close or else Our idiot Boy has stood up in public and made a bigger fool of himself than usual AND told us some lies at the same time.....and well, he IS a LIE-beral!
The West should be alert to the Wicked Zionists who speak in their behalf.
The Wicked Zionists manipulate the matter so as to compare the terrorism to Hitler and Napoleon, while it is only an invention of the Zionist and Imperialist intelligence .. so as to exploit it for their purpose of occupying and destroying the Muslim countries ..
like how they exploited 911 to occupy Afghanistan and Iraq .. and they designed all such violent acts for the purpose of destroying the countries round about Tel Aviv.

If all Zionists are wicked, then 'wicked Zionist' is a redundant phrase and you should just say 'Zionist.' If you think 'wicked Zionist' is correct, then that means that not all Zionists are wicked. So which is it?
Another problem with Islam is that many Muslims themselves have not read the Qur'an. I'll take this as just one example:
