“And that has one mother suggesting the terrorists have won.” She is right, of course. Threats like this are designed to “strike terror into the hearts of the enemies of Allah” (Qur’an 8:60), and make them live in fear, curtailing their activities because of the specter of jihad. This leads inevitably to curtailing also of speech critical of jihad terror and Islamic supremacism, and that leaves the way clear for the jihad to advance unopposed and unimpeded.
“Terrorist threat sees three Regina schools pull out of cheerleading competition,” CJME, The Canadian Press, March 3, 2015:
REGINA – Three Regina high schools and one in Saskatoon have pulled out of a cheerleading competition after threats were made against West Edmonton Mall in an online video.
And that has one mother suggesting the terrorists have won.
The video purportedly came from the Al-Shabab group and urges Muslims to attack malls including the Mall of America in Minneapolis and the one in Edmonton.
Denise Fisher of the Alberta Cheerleading Association says a dozen teams have pulled out of the competition scheduled for this coming weekend.
They include Campbell Collegiate, Balfour Collegiate and Winston Knoll Collegiate in Regina, and Bethlehem High School in Saskatoon.
Tina Caderna says her daughter, Trinity, was panicked when told about the cancellation, as she is serious about her cheerleading and trains for 30 hours a week.
“Whoever it was that posted that video has now won because we’re making a decision not to go based on the surfacing of that video naming West Edmonton Mall,” says Caderna.
The Regina Public School Division says it had heard from some parents who were concerned about the trip and would not be sending their children to the competition.
“The school division determined that due to the parents’ safety concerns and because we the school division can’t ensure the safety of the students travelling to the event, that we would not be participating as a school division,” explains Terry Lazarou, supervisor of communications with the school division.
Caderna, whose daughter also competes on another squad, says she will drive her daughter to Edmonton if she has to.
“This is something that she’s been doing for a long time and it wasn’t even an option not to go,” she says. “We were going, regardless.”
The Edmonton competition is a qualifier for cheerleaders to go to the 2015 World Cheerleading Championships in Florida in April.
The association’s website says the mall’s administration has confirmed “there will be significantly increased mall and police presence in the mall during the competition, although many will be plain-clothes officers.”
It also says the cheerleading association has contracted some additional security of its own, and has been working with an independent company to have onsite first aid and to ensure that its response plans align with West Edmonton Mall’s plans….
Angemon says
Bullseye. And that will encourage further threats.
mortimer says
Caving in will show the terrorists that a mere threat works. We need to increase laws to exile terrorists and their families.
Terrorists only fear loss of residency and benefits.
The Doctor says
That mother is correct – the terrorists have won if their threats have caused free people to change their behaviours. This is what they want. Their threats will escalate until they have what they really want – Sharia. This is how Islam spreads – by violence and threats of violence.
mortimer says
The terrorists will win if we don’t stop Muslim immigration.
Jae M says
You have it right Mortimer. Stop immigration. How about also closing any Mosque that encourages fundamental Islam and Sharia law as well. Islam is a politically organized religion seeking to infiltrate our governments and laws and systems.
Charles Martel says
Two factors at work here:
1. The threat
2. The loss of confidence and resolve of the populations of the West due to years of Progressive, Nanny State indoctrination.
With luck, the first will jolt the West out of its torpor before its too late.

Freedom lover,
There are lots of Nazi websites available where your message would be welcomed. Why waste your efforts with people who are not obsessed with skin color and laws mandating who people can and cannot marry?
Roderick MacUalraig says
Thank-you.
Lawrence says
TROLL ALERT !
“Freedom Lover”‘s disgusting and racist screed is designed by an Alinskyite or Islamofascist Troll.
Therefore will the moderator exile Freedom Lover.
Back to the main point : Stop Muslim immigration to the West immediately.
Monitor all Mosques as they are seditious until proven otherwise.
FarmerMike says
Agreed. Monitor all mosques.
Sue any mosque teaching hate or murder. Close them if possible.
Stop Muslim immigration, whether to Canada or the US–or any other civilized land.

This report comes from one of the Toronto news stations I occasionally listen to (680 kHz; others broadcast at 640 kHz and 1010 kHz). It quotes a report from “CJME, The Canadian Press”, but what a deficient report it is! It says there was an online threat video from Al-Shabaab, but does not provide a link to the video, or even describe it. Any proper journalist should answer the obvious questions a reader would have, like: What exactly are the threats, and directed to whom? How many minutes long is this video? In what language is it? What Quranic justification, if any, is given for the threats? Are the threateners angered by the polytheistic name “Trinity” of one of the cheerleaders? “The event promises to feature 3,200 athletes representing 180 teams from British Columbia to Ontario.” Why are there no competitors from Quebec or the Maritimes?
Martin Mann says
Deport all Muslims! Problem solved!
Brian Hoff says
What an supid remark. Many muslim from oversea are citizen of western nation so your remark is supporting than illegality action. An what bout born citizen of western nation who convert to Islam than peaceful religion.
Alissa says
Are you a complete ass or just a muslim
Mirren10 says
Alissa, ‘Brian Hoff’ is actually ‘defenderofislam’.
He has been posting his unintelligible drivel here for years.
Western Canadian says
How would anyone tell the difference???
Even for a muslim, brain off is beneath contempt…
Angemon says
Both.
Ricky Black says
If I wrote a book that had 60% hate speech in it, it would be band. The Koran should be band on the same principle. The Koran has no place in a civilized world. Who gives a shit about some pagan moon god and worshiping a meteorite? it’s absurd. It all started because somebody wanted to make money on the haji. I’m a hillbilly from the sticks, and even I can see right threw this. If your a muslim, and read this , just look up moon god on the net

“This is something that she’s been doing for a long time and it wasn’t even an option not to go,” she says. “We were going, regardless.”
**Kudos** to Tina Caderna and her daughter, Trinity ! And perdition to the cowardly schools who pulled out.
There needs to be far, far more Tina Caderna’s in the West. It’s time people discovered their backbone.
Paul says
‘Defiler of English / Defender of Islam’ ( Brian Hoff ) wrote : ” Many Muslim from oversea are citizen of western nation…”.
What Muslim would want to live in the decadent and sinful west anyway, when there are so many glorious Islamic paradises to choose from ?
The kuffar will still send those ‘Aid ‘ ( jizya ) dollars, and nobody will draw any pictures of Mahound. No Islamophobia, either.
If I were a Mahoundian, I would self deport..
Western Canadian says
This louts clumsy use of English, suggests it is NOT his native tongue…. possibly European, and even more likely to be a muzzy, here to make the site look bad.
And except for (perhaps) Mexico, your list of ‘acceptable’ oil suppliers is pathetic. Russia and Venezuela?? Yeah, right.
Jeff says
Islam is killing itself. Slowly, yes. But it is killing itself. The violent death throes of Islam have begun. Be prepared for much greater violence before it kills itself completely.
Rossbro says
The Competition should be held as scheduled, and police should BE PREPARED to control rioters. Beat ’em, arrest ’em, spray them with pig urine and skunk juice. Give them a helluva memory.!
M S case says
High Schools pull out of cheerleading This is just what the homegrown jmuslims want…….They can’t attack us with an armed force but they can strike fear so that you don’t continue with your daily life. THAT IS ONE OF THEIR MAIN TATCITS and “chip away” is the other doing hurt to people or objects .
We must be strong…Looks like we are going to have to protest as they do surround their mosques with so many people they can’t even get in.. Protest in the streets anytime they do anything. Take back America.
If you feel that protesting and demonstrating in the streets is too much just walk through a national cemetery some day and see the markers of those who have given their all not marched in the streets they marched to a different drummer AMERICA FOREVER!!!!
Mark says
The only possible solution to the evil we face from muslims, is to deport them ALL.
