Canada PM proposes travel ban to “places that are ground zero for terrorist activity”

Aug 9, 2015 1:54 pm By Robert Spencer

HarperWhat if the jihadis simply decide to wage jihad at home?

“Harper proposes travel ban to ‘places that are ground zero for terrorist activity,’” The Canadian Press, August 9, 2015:

OTTAWA – With the shadow of the Mike Duffy trial looming larger than ever, Stephen Harper is kicking off Week 2 of the federal election campaign with a headline-grabbing effort to crack down on homegrown terror threats.

Harper, keen to show off his bona fides as the experienced incumbent, promised to make it a crime for Canadians to travel to specific countries or regions where they could fight alongside groups officially identified by the federal government as terrorist organizations.

He says a re-elected Conservative government would establish “declared areas” – regions of the world where terrorist groups like the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant hold control and use their base to recruit and train followers.

Harper defined these areas as “the most dangerous places on earth where government is non-existent and violence is widespread and brutal.”

“There are very few legitimate reasons to go to places like these, and those who go without such legitimate reasons will face the full force of the law,” Harper declared….

    “Harper defined these areas as “the most dangerous places on earth where government is non-existent and violence is widespread and brutal.””

    Now hold on — they’ve got government in those places, and a “constitution”. It’s all laid out very clearly in the koran which they follow as exactly as possible.

      You’re right. There is a strong government in Tehran, where brutal violence is not widespread, but is kept tightly focused on Zooastrians, Christians and even Kurds there.

    The heart is in the right place, but I have mixed feelings about this proposal.

    Boy, a travel ban like that is gonna hurt tourism in London and Paris. And Harper must not ban travel to Dearborn, that’s where Ford is headquartered so it’s too important to the Canadian economy to sequester.

    I encourage Jihad Watch Canadians to vote for Harper. He is the only candidate in the October 2015 election who is standing up against the Islamists and supports Israel.

      Too bad he just signed the CETA and TPP “treaties” (treasons) then, eh?

      But the other two – Just-in Turdeau and angry Mad Tom Mulcair – are even worse!

    Let them go Just don’t let them back into the West. Ever. For any reason. Simple.

      Exactly right! Why would we want to keep them? So they can wage jihad on our own soil????

    This begs the obvious question: will it be illegal for Canadians to visit the White House?

    I support Mr Harper 100%. Priority is the name of the game. Which cones first the country’s national security or the economy. If security is ignored and Islam takes control of the country economy would be in shambles anyway.

      Harper just sold out both our security and our economy when he signed the CETA and TPP treasons, genius.

      No matter that he’s sort of anti-islam and mostly pro-Israel, he’s still a globalist shill.

    Harper is a christian. He knows the problems with ISLAM.
    But hes a politician and has to tread lightly.
    Hes done a great job in Canada.
    Liberals will call him Heir Harper.
    SO CLEVER….NOT

    Conservative voters are generally more informed.

    My kids would come home after listening to their teachers all
    day and start blaming Harper for things happening in our city.

    I said Boys !! think for yourself you are being used and duped.

      I totally agree with you on all points. My kids said the same. Makes me want to scream.

    Correct with travel ban, unless to fight evil, e.g. IS.

    Harper is NOT a true Conservative!

    He’s a globalist shill!

    He signed the CETA and TPP treasons.

    He refuses to acknowledge Assad’s government as legitimate.

    He refuses to take in ALL the Syrian Christians and Yazidis etc.

    He wants to attack Russia on behalf of the literally NAZI government in Ukraine.

    And now he wants to keep violence-prone wannabe jihadis here in Canada, too!

    WE NEED A REAL CONSERVATIVE GOVERNMENT HERE IN CANADA AGAIN!!!
