When the Israelis are silent about something, they may, or may not, have been responsible. When they deny that they are responsible, as in the case of Imad Mughniyeh, they are not responsible. There were good reasons why the security services in Syria would wish to have killed Imad Mughniyeh, but Hezbollah would find it awkward to attack the same services that are helping transfer Iranian arms and money to its leaders in Lebanon. So it ignores reality, and makes up its own.

So what is Canada's policy anyway? Doesn't it pride itself on being "more open" to Muslim immigration than the US?

How is it that a "known Hezbollah weapons expert" gains access to Canada in this day and age?

English and Canadian sociopaths denied the desperate Jewish refugees from Holocaust a safe haven in Canada with its vast, empty spaces. So, disgracefully, did our own "land of the free".
Now, the UK and Canada, threw their doors open for infestation by Muslims, turning into Londonistan and Canadistan respectively. So, suicidally, did our own Coward Country USA.

In the rest of the article, it says that an attack is likely to happen outside of the USA because Iran doesn't want to give the US an 'excuse' to attack Iran.

Now would be a good time to make absolutely clear that the US will NOT stand silently by if there is a murderous jihadi attack on Canadian citizens, be they Jewish or of any other faith.

If we in the kafir world had any sense at all, the moment that Hezbollah blows up a Jewish synagogue or Hebrew school or Israeli embassy in Canada or anywhere else - in Australia, the UK, France, Argentina, Mexico - then Iran should expect its overseas assets worldwide to be seized and/or frozen, its diplomats summarily sent packing, and a rain of fire descending on its head.

Another reminder that we don't know who we've let in via our porous borders and lax immigration enforcement.

Does this absolve Bush, Rice, Chertoff of their responsibility to protect American tax-payers, they and their families feed off?
Without accountibility of all responsibe in the government, American tax-payers will pay through sweat and blood, literally.

Plenty of places to make a 'big splash' in Canada.

When I read that phrase I had a little picture in my mind of angry Canadians dropping captured jihadis into the deep, icy cold waters that Canada has in such abundance - the Arctic Ocean, with its hungry polar bears; the Mackenzie River (shores frequented by grizzly bears!); the Gulf of St Lawrence; the Great Lakes.

On a more serious note, I saw a curious article in Jerusalem Post this morning, which gave me a sort of itch at the back of my mind.

http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1212659759594&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull

Iran has been pulling its money out of European banks.

"Facing sanctions by banks in the US and Europe, Iran is increasingly looking to banks in China, the Persian Gulf and Southeast Asia to give it letters of credit, according to Israeli government officials."

"The Iranians are looking for banks wherever there is a substantial banking system," one official said. "They have tried banks in Turkey, and have even tried buying banks in Turkey, but have not succeeded."

"The officials said the Iranians have located banks - usually smaller and mid-sized banks - in the United Arab Emirates, China, Malaysia and India with which to work."

And note this paragraph:
"Iran has withdrawn $75 billion from Europe to circumvent a proposed freeze of Iranian assets in any future sanctions over the country's controversial nuclear program, The Media Line news agency reported.

"In addition, the Iranian weekly Shahrvand-e Emrouz has reported that Iran's deputy foreign minister for financial affairs, Muhsin Tala'i, said some of Iran's assets had been transferred to gold and shares and other assets had been transferred to Asian banks."

The author of the article believes Iran is getting its assets out of Europe because it doesn't want them seized or frozen.

That's comprehensible.

But I am afraid I can think of other reasons why Iran may not want to have anything invested in Western Europe.

After all: why should it entrust any of its money to someplace that it plans, sooner or later, to reduce to ashes?

astuddis, you say Why would they make a "big splash" in Canada? Simply answer: Because there are Jews also living in Canada. Remember Hizbullah is seeking revenge for the February assassination of Hezbollah's military commander, Imad Mugniyah, killed by a car bomb in Damascus, Syria the the group's leaders is blaming Israel, an allegation denied by Israeli officials.

Targets in Canada would include the Jewish population, synagogues, Jewish schools and cultural centres. Other possible targets (not Jewish) would include the Hyro-electrical grid, the CN Tower, Parliament Hill in Ottawa just to name a few.

We have to stop muslim immigration into Canada and boot out those Muslims already caught scheming to take away and destory our way of life and freedom. We need to elect officials who have some backbone to stand up and say... GET OUT OF OUR BELOVED LAND AND GO BACK TO WHERE YOU CAME FROM!!

crusader,
WW2 was more than fifty years ago. We can point to Iwo Jima, D-Day and lots more. It means nothing. What is Canada doing TODAY to defend itself? What is Canada prepared to do to stop Muslim immigration into Canada? What is Canada doing to prevent these cells from functioning?
How is it that "a known Hezbollah weapons expert" even gains access to Canada?

Canada has a small force and it also spans a continent. Is that force prepared to kill civilians? That's who you'll be fighting: Muslim civilians.

RESPONSE:
In Canada that is wishful thinking. Political Correctness, liberal laws and the HRC are preventing that from happening.

Posted by: Dobra Dyen at June 20, 2008 11:47 AM

Percentage wise, there are waaaaayyyyy too many leftie liberals in Canada. All sitting around saving the trees, hiring lawyers, and complaining about everything. Kind of like in the US ;o)

I do like the fact that they are warning people though, even if the threat is an empty one. Better to be warned than surprised.

Good grief! I did look up the story and comments on CBC. What kind of Koolaid are they drinking up there in Canada? Seems like a serious case of liberal infestation. Now that we are about to elect Saddam HUSSEIN Obama here in the States.. how can I talk about Canada, eh?

Oh boy.. those comments at CBC are laced with anti-Semitism and more than a tad of "tu quoque" as well. The MSM have surely wreaked their work upon the vote cattle.

Posted by: Ummah Gummah at June 20, 2008 12:40 PM

Is the Islamic Jihad losing steam? I’m serious, really, because they keep talking about how various cells are activated to strike at Western interests but nothing seems to happen. Good intelligence and security vigilance seems to be working, or they would have struck terror into our hearts many more times since 911.

Realistically, there is no way Islamic Sharia will ever be imposed on the West by either terror or stealth, though with a 1400 year time line they will not stop from trying. Now Iran is scrambling to save its assets from deep freeze, while at the same time threatening to activate its Jihad cells in Canada, or Europe, or India, or Turkey, or wherever without much success. Are they losing it? Is the Ummah actually much weaker than their posturing? They tried the UN’s Human Rights Commission to silence us, but this puts a brighter spotlight on their stealth Jihad activities. More and more people are becoming educated on the true nature of this ‘religion of peace’ nonsense, and they don’t like it. Informers, always a good source of intelligence, may be more forthcoming, as is electronic surveillance and monitoring bank cash transfers. Where can they hide it now?

The real problem is still OIL. Get that price down, and their timeline will have to be stretched indefinitely, while we (JW/DW et al) keep focusing the lights on their dark activities. In time they will end up on the trash heaps of history as another failed world domination supremacist mullahs ideology. Nobody wants them, same as nobody in the Arab world wants those 'Palestinians' pariahs. Let them keep losing steam, and die.

Posted by: Battle_of_Tours at June 20, 2008 1:55 PM

Why don't the affected countries TOTALLY BAN Muslim immigration? Ask them stay in their lovely sharia lands. The more green slime you let in, the more filth you see.

Posted by: IndianTiger at June 20, 2008 2:02 PM

PMK -- What is the US doing? Since 9/11, the Bush government has:

1. Established a Shiite-led Iranian client state in Iraq and done nothing about Iranian efforts to gain nukes.

2. Established a sharia state in Afghanistan and sent hundreds of Western soldiers off to die to prop this up.

3. Decided to give nuke technology to Saudi Arabia.

4. Forbidden usage of words like "jihad" by State Department officials.

5. Continued to coddle the Pakistanis.

6. Worked day and night to get Israel to drop its defenses and accommodate the genocidal Palestinians.

7. I won't say anything about what's going on in Dearborn, how groups like CAIR have somehow become mainstream in the US, how state and federal money goes to prop up Islamist schools, etc.

If anybody's aiding and abetting worldwide Islamism, it's the US. Anyhow, glass houses, throw stones, etc. Grow up.

Posted by: OutOfAqaba at June 20, 2008 2:40 PM

Battle of Tours, you're forgetting about numbers. The stealth jihad is going to proceed, regardless of how it is exposed and discredited, simply because the Muslims are outbreeding Westerners. I don't think there is any way to stop this now in Europe, save major societal changes that would likely involve civil wars.

Keep pressing them to drop the 'death for apostasy' clause in their evil cult, and watch those numbers go into reverse. Our freedoms are more powerful than their evil total mind and body control Allah Cult, even for their own. The Islamic clerics are worried, their window of opportunity to bring Shari is closing. That said, it does not mean we relax our vigilance and pursuit. Press them without mercy.

PMK -- What is the US doing?

OutOfAqaba,

Point taken but the US wasn't the topic. I wasn't defending Bush or the US and I wasn't suggesting we had done everything right. Crusader was saying how Canada could defend itself and pointing to WW2 as evidence.
I'll say again: that was more than fifty years ago. Americans who point to WW2 as proof that we can deal with attackers are just as misguided. That was a different time with different rules of behavior and a different enemy.
What is Canada doing today? 9/11 should have been a wakeup call for Canada as well. Surely Canadians remember, as many Americans still do, how planes en route to the US were rerouted to Canada when our airspace was closed. Are Canadians prepared to fight Muslim civilians on their own streets? Like the US, Canada spans a continent. How will its "small force" defend Canada?
Again: how is it that a "known Hezbollah weapons expert" even gets into Canada? Just because the US has stupid immigration policies, does that mean Canada has to follow our example? Why, after 9/11, wouldn't Canada keep known Hezbollah operatives out?

Posted by: PMK at June 20, 2008 7:22 PM

I don't disagree. Canada could be doing more. But we're a long, long way from civil war on the streets, so I think you're getting into hyperbole there. And in free societies, undesirables are going to get in. It happens with so much movement across borders. That's actually one of the West's biggest strengths, but of course it's being used against us by the Islamists.

My bigger point, though, was that I'm sick of all the people here who seize on any mention of Canada in a post and go bananas with claims about how those losers up north are going to get Americans killed, and so on. It usually doesn't take more than a couple of posts before some "Blame Canada" crap, which really bugs me because the US is perfectly capable of killing itself with regard to Islam. It doesn't need any help from up north.

Posted by: OutOfAqaba at June 21, 2008 2:13 AM

Aqaba,
All I can say is why are you taking it personally? I would ask why you aren't looking at what people say and asking if there is anything you can do to change things. Why should Canadians have to worry about Islamic threats? What is your government doing to prevent a 9/11 on Canadian soil?

You call it "blame Canada crap". I call it "why is Canada doing this?" frustration. Chretien blamed the entire Western world for 9/11. He excused the terrorists. In 2003, Margaret Drabble positively reveled in her anti-Americanism. I (I can't speak for others) am not all that sure that we have enough friends in Canada to make a difference.
If you think we're not all in this together then there's nothing that can be done.
