Islamist groups seek ‘parallel society’ in Canada

[scribblet]

There more who support violence then you wish to believe, I don't have anything specific to Canada. If you care to read about European issues you might get a shock.

The extent of support for global jihad is frightening, and the numbers are anything but insignificant.

It's time we open our eyes and confront reality..

British Opinion Surveys from an Islamist Hell

http://www.danielpipes.org/2797/british-opinion-surveys-from-an-islamist-hell

Estimating how many potential terrorists reside in one's country is a highly inexact business, but there's a striking correlation between a British government report recently leaked to London's Times and a new opinion survey commissioned by the Daily Telegraph.

The YouGov survey contains many other statistics that should interest, if not shock, Britons and other Westerners.

(Reuters) - About one-quarter of young American Muslims believe to some extent that suicide bombings can be justified to defend Islam, while nearly 80 percent of all U.S. Muslims reject such attacks, a survey showed on Tuesday.

Danish Psychologist: ‘Integration of Muslims in Western Societies is Not Possible’

[Guest TrueMetis]

All I know is Muslims in Islamic countries are less likely to be okay with attacks on civilians than some western citizens are. Take that as you will.

My link

ETA Everyone should read the link it gives a lot of insight into how many Muslims view the events in the middle east.

I see that Islamaophobic fearmongering is perfectly accepted by our national newspapers and our intelligence community.

Try sticking the word Jewish in there, instead of Islamist, and see the complaints and 'hate crime' accusations roll in.

Seriously?

How many Jews in Canada have planned to execute violent attacks against the state in recent memory? Or have declared war on the West and Canada specifically?

I hope you know the difference between a Muslim and an Islamist (of the offensive jihad variety).

Moslems ARE attacking civilians.

[Guest TrueMetis]

Moslems ARE attacking civilians.

duh, but that doesn't mean that most Muslims are okay with it. Most Muslims are against attacks on civilians.

Really, how many terrorist attacks have been directed towards civilian targets, how many were done by westerners, and how many down by Muslims

[scribblet]

Of course the majority are not okay with it, but enough are radicals to cause huge problems for western society.

This is what Europe is facing.

he hate-filled extremists whipped up a 40-strong mob who screamed insults about Britain's war dead during the nation's two-minute silence on Thursday.

They head Muslims Against Crusades - formed after the radical group Islam4UK was banned - and want Sharia law imposed in the UK.

The Maxim gun, and they have not!"

Oh damn, wait a minute. They HAVE got the Maxim gun!

We sold it to them and showed them how to use it!

We should have pursued a "Star Trek Prime Directive" and never interfered in the culture of that part of the world. After all, they have not invented anything new technically in about a thousand years. Culturally, they appear to have traded being an area of education, innovation and learning for diehard religious fundamentalism.

Does it really matter? They're being done by increasingly small fringe groups. They are not supported by enough people to continue.

Of course the majority are not okay with it, but enough are radicals to cause huge problems for western society.

This is what Europe is facing.

40 people? That's it?

[GostHacked]

Is this another thread about Muslims getting a form of Sharia law in Canada?

That won't happen. If you blame anyone for it, it will be our own government.

The difference I see with Canada/Quebec is parallel, the new Sharia law would not be parallel.

French and English settled this land and created the laws, Muslims were not part of that make up at that time. The Muslims have not had a separate society in Canada since it's inception, so it cannot be considered parallel. This to me is the big difference here.

This distinction is curiously absent for First Nations in Canada. Do they have the same status as "Muslims" in this regard?
