Look at Jian Ghomeshi! Moved here and rose to the top against all odds.

Well, there isn't any "odds" is there ?

Institutional racism.

I don't believe that exists in crown corps, at least not in Quershi's time frame.

Terrorism through the looking glass:

What if the terrorists were Christian? - Telegraph

Wow, great read. Imagine if some one did kill Monty Python in the name of Jesus? A Bit of a scurmish would follow.

Who is that aimed at exactly? You posted that as a reply to me which suggests something, but I don't know what.

Unlikely. Our mayor is Muslim. That probably doesn't fit into your frothy mouthed agenda.

You seem to be the only one taking an (opposing) interest in the issue, and assert that innocent people do not need to take action. The article paints a scenario where innocent people do feel compelled to take action.

However the article is aimed at everyone. Magnum liked it, so that's two "likes" so far.

The author uses the word "we" in connection with reaction to the Anders Brievik incident. The incident was in Norway and the Norwegians responded in a balanced, sane manner without hysteria.

The article of course is prompted by the recent Paris atrocity, where the French have responded (so far at least) in a sane, balanced manner without hysteria.

When that English soldier got his head chopped off in London, "we" the British press, people and government responded with hysterical slanders on Islam, no balance and no sanity.

When a couple of crazies ran over a Canadian soldier and another committed suicide-by-Sergeant-at-Arms, "we" the Canadian press, people and government reacted with much the same with an added dash of false bravado.

I think some words should be chosen more carefully.

That's not exactly a ringing endorsement.

I just dislike your view that all Muslims must do this and must do that. Sure, if an individual wants to then that would be great, but if they don't then that is ok too. You are more "if you are not with us you are against us", and that kind of us vs them attitude does more harm than good.

Sane, balanced? You won't like this then !!

Like a scene out of Nazi Germany, French Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian announced Tuesday that 10,000 Army troops will be deployed into the streets to secure “sensitive points” in wake of the recent shooting attacks whi

Gosh, 18 pages! post 1 summed it up perfectly:

Starters, legislation to ban halal meat, all animals to be slaughtered with the least stress on the animal, no face veils, stop building mosques, no Islamic schools, no Islamic laws..... Oh, it doesnt suit you? You need these things? Find another country to live in, this is our country and its not changing anymore.

Not much need for hysteria with Breivik because he's not part of an expansionist ideology with thousands more foot soldiers.

With the French, I have a feeling that it's early days. On the news tonight they spoke to Jews who are intending on leaving the country. They have mobilised 15000 troops internally, not sure if that fits your criteria for hysteria.

It's Germany who are the real interesting player on this topic. Pegida.

Just because hysterical slanders emerge when heads are chopped, that does not mean that there are not genuine underlying issues to be dealt with.

I think Canada handled the threat efficiently, and any bravado was earned.

Ah well, our views differ but I'm not sufficiently interested in yours to continue this discussion.

Have you a strong stance on Prince whats-his-name having sex with underaged slaves groomed by a convicted American billionaire sex offender?
