Let's see. Israel kills a terrorist mastermind who oversaw the murder of civilians. In retaliation, these people firebombed a Jewish school. From CP, with thanks to Jeffrey Imm:
MONTREAL (CP) - Police have arrested four young men and a woman in her 30s in connection with a widely condemned firebombing at a Jewish school last month."Four males aged between 18 and 20 and one female in her 30s were all apprehended at 6:15 this morning," Montreal police spokesman Ian Lafreniere said Friday. The April 5 attack on the library of the United Talmud Torah elementary school garnered headlines across the country and even elicited a financial pledge from actor Russell Crowe to help replace books.
A note left at the school said the fire was in retaliation for Israel's killing of Hamas leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin.
Lafreniere did not give the nationalities of those arrested, saying there was some information police did not want to reveal so as not to jeopardize the investigation into other possible suspects.
A great gesture from Russel Crowe (provided he DOES give the money), but what are his connections to Canada ? I thought he was from New Zealand ?
Anyway, we all still wait for the ARAB who'd do something spontaneous for victims of muslim fanaticism.
Don't hold your breath. Apology in the Muslim world is akin to weakness.
A homicide bomber is stopped forever from further killing, and in retaliation, an elementary school is burned. The symbolism is obvious: we will kill your children if you continue to thwart us.
Some years ago, those pushing francophonie in Quebec -- not because they were great lovers of La Fontaine and Montaigne, but because they simply wanted to suppress the anglophones of Westmount -- had the bright idea of encouraging immigration into Quebec of large numbers of North African Arabs. These Arabs, you see, from Algeria (does the name Ressam ring a millennium bell?) would swell the ranks of those who spoke French, and thus be so much more welcome than, for example, people from Barcelona or Naples or Athens, who tended to want to have their children speak English.
It was an idiotic policy, and yet it remains, I am told, in place. For what those pushing francophonie coute que coute forgot was the little matter of ideology -- the ideology of Islam, that is seldom sloughed off, and that causes its adherents to remain permanent threats to all non-Muslims -- even if, in a position of what they regard as temporary weakness, they choose to hide, or elide, that inculcated hostility that is at the very heart of Islam, not as a religion (with its Five Pillars of worship), but as the geopolitical cult which it has always been, and to which it owes its seventh and eighth century origins.
Now it takes no great imagination to figure out that if St. Catherine's Street, and St.-Laurent, become dangerous for American tourists -- because it is not inconceivable that Muslims will make life unpleasant for those tourists, as they have for Canadian Jews in such places as Concordia University -- that those tourists will take their custom elsewhere. Goodbye to the Festivals of Jazz, Comedy, goodbye to the insectarium. Sorry, Montreal, and while we are at it, we can't really risk Quebec City, or the Eastern Townships either. So the ball is now in the Canadian Court: do you recognize what you are creating for your own non-Muslim citizens, for those French would-be emigrants (including some bringing capital and entrepreneurial flair with them) who will be fleeing the Muslims of France and should be made welcome in Quebec), and for American tourists who contribute a good deal to the Quebec economy.
If you haven't given this some thought, start now. And begin, instead of dismissing the problem, by actually assigning government officials, and members of the press, the task of studying Islamic tenets, and the treatment of non-Muslims under Muslim rule.
There are Canadians who come to this website. May they do all they can to alert others in Canada to visit and study the articles and informed comments as well; may they alert others to study the scholarly articlesposted at www.dhimmitude.org and www. secularislam.org. The testimony of ex-Muslims both at the latter site, and at www.faithfreedom.org, ought also to be widely read, understood, assimilated, especially by those whose family members are, for reasons often of personal need or even desperation, thinking of marrying a Muslim, or themselves converting.
If 100,000 Canadians would fully inform themselves about Islam -- and not be satisfied with the antics of Irshad Manji -- that would be enough. It is a race, an intellectual race with political, economic, and social consequences. Will knowledge of Islam -- not apologetics -- be widely disseminated in time to keep our lives from becoming even more unpleasant, expensive, and dangerous as they necessarily will, from burgeoning Muslim populations? We know that the lives of the indigenous non-Muslims in France, in Holland, in England, in Italy, have become, and are becoming still more, unpleasant, difficult, expensive, and dangerous, precisely because of their burgeoning Muslim populations. They can handle diversity -- Hindus, Buddhists, Confucians, and so on. An alien creed is one thing; we can tolerate and accomodate it. What cannot be accomodated, however, is a creed that is not only alien but hostile -- hostile in its very essence, its quidditas -- to all who do not adhere to that creed. Islam owes its very origins to its usefulness as a geopolitical cult, justifying and promoting the conquest, by formerly pagan Arabs, of the Christians and Jews (and then Zoroastrians) who lived in Mesopotamia, Syria, Judea, Egypt, North Africa, Spain. Only by incorporating elements, often themselves distorted beyond recognition, of Christianity and Judaism, could the conquering Arabs (who did not carry Islam with them out of the Arabian Peninsula -- Islam itself was probably concocted in Mesopotamia, or in what is now Jordan, or possibly evey by Abdel Malik in Damascus) hope to appeal to the more settled, advanced, rich, and populous Christians and Jews they could subdue by the sword, but also wanted to subdue permanently, through the spread of an ideology that would cause the subjugated peoples to collaborate willingly in their own subjugation.
Really, the problem in Canada is compounded by the unpleasant need of many (not all) Canadians to define the country as "not-America" (just like New Zealanders have a foreign policy far to the left of what it should be, in their intense desire to be "not-Australia"). But they should focus on the common threat -- and if they do not want to look to Washington and the Colossus of the South for inspiration, then look to Western Europe, and its people (those who have virtually no voice in controlling their appeasement-minded and desperate elites, especially in France), whose way of life is now so endangered by the Muslim presence.
It will require not soldiers, but a great national or civilizational effort at education. Much depends on the scope of that education, on its thoroughness, truthfulness, and the speed with which it is accomplished.
Hmmm wonder why they didnt want to release the nationalities of the criminals....guess they figure we can all draw our own conclusions from the reasons given for the bombing.
So the bombing is described as "widely condemned"? I guess that's why it hasn't even been reported anywhere else.

I have sent a few books (I don't have a lot of money, but it is a very worthwhile cause), I urge everyone to do the same.
Book burning...didn't the Nazis do that?
Richard (Toronto, Canada)
Hugh referrs to the 5 pillars of Islam.
But there is a SIXTH Pillar.
It is the pillar of wahhabism which reigns ovetr ISlAM it like the soldier ants in a nest of african ants.
Not only do they forage outside the nest, killing and pillaging, but they exert total control over the lesser ants and kill them and bring them into line.
The religious wahhabist police of Saudi are similar to the Gestapo, Stasi, or NKVD of totalitarian countries who terrorised their own people into submission.
The spread of wahabbism has been expressly used by the corrupt Saudi royals to maintain their positions and their fortunes in their own countries by subduing their own into religious slavery.
NOw they have exported it throughout the world.
We in the west still use fatal euphemisms such as "the war against terror "
We are told Clinton and Bush did not do enough against "The terrorists".
We refuse to call them Muslim Jihadists because even an evil cult such a wahhabism , hiding within moderate islam cannot be described as such for the sake of liberalism.
Now the soldier ants are on the march in every muslim community in the western world to turn the workers ants into the predatory kind.
The organization CAIR Canada screams for transparentcy in the Khwaja arrest and the Arar
Inquiry,now that this overt antisemitic act of
terrorism will show a Palestinian Muslim slant
to it they seem very quiet about exposing evidence
such as the Names and Nationality.
Cairs website is www.caircan.ca ,they ask Muslims not to help in terrorist investigations and coach on how to demand a lawyer present if
questioned. This spaeks volumes on what their
plan is for canada,convert to Islam or be killed.
KNOW ISLAM - NO PEACE
These people have "at least a reason", that is to revenge the killing of the Hamas leader. Huh!!
Guess it "makes sense" considering that in another country there was an incident where the moslems went on a rampage, burning churches, homes and businesses of christians, and a pastor and his family were killed in the process, because, and read this carefully, it is the truth:
BECAUSE THEY (the moslems) WERE MAD THAT THE COURT WAS TOO LENIENT IN SENTENCING SOMEBODY WHO WAS ACCUSED OF BLASPHEMY.
And the convict???? ANOTHER MOSLEM.
Makes sense?
(Of course no word about this in the newspapers).
Update:
"Mother and son deny fire-bombing Jewish school"
A mother and son were among three people who pleaded not guilty to charges arising from an arson attack on a Jewish elementary school in Montreal.
Simon Zogheib and Sleiman Elmerhebi, both 18, are accused of arson and conspiracy.
Rouba Fahd Elmerhebi, 36, the mother of Elmerhebi, is charged with being an accessory after the fact.

Antisemetism and holocaust revisionism had taken a firm foothold through the likes of ersnt Zundel. Although jailed his rascism was surely widely accepted.
Then we had a host of anti american articles in the toronto star they promoted the idea that america was behind 911.
in their open antimericanosm and hatred of Israel they ignored the evil that was creeping in.
Politicians used anti americanism as a political platform .
The canadian press produced list of influential americans placing yellow stars next to the "Jews" to confirm the ideas of the protocols of the elders of Zion.
The Canadians have been played for fools by the Islamic propagandists and will now have to pay a high price for their stupidity.
My wife is Canadian, I am American, and we live about... 5 hours from the border of Quebec. Not that that is anywhere Near far enough, mind you...
It is increasingly my opinion (now backed even more by Hugh's info above), that Quebec is the 2nd France. And seems to be the source of quite a few of the Canadian hate groups. Can anyone point me to any kind of listing of hate organizations in Canada? I'm willing to bet I am correct in my guess.
Fact;
Only Radical Islamist today, use religion to KILL.
