Canada, That Hotbed Of Terrorist Refuge
Getting kind of tired of this. One group after another in our great multicultural experiment to bring people together in peace and harmony, in freedom and justice for each and all, in living proof that communitarianism exists and we are the proud example, flames out. This vast land of great natural resources, outstanding natural beauty, emergent opportunities for all who seek them, a land of comfort and freedoms, egalitarian and appreciative of our combined societies.
We harbour this belief that all whom we take into the warm embrace of our communities, the refugees fleeing war and oppression, limitless numbers of immigrants who seek a better life for themselves and their children, will love this country and all it offers. They will settle happily into the new atmosphere of acceptance and belonging, and practise their cultural traditions, while accepting Canadian values and social mores.
Why then, oh please do tell us why, do we harbour so many malcontents, individuals who accept what this country has to offer, but still chafe with violent head-banging anger over political and social and cultural situations left behind which appear to have irremediably stained psyches who find themselves completely incapable of adjusting to life in this new land?
Has Canada become a breeding ground for terrorists, an Islamofascist swamp turning out dedicated jihadists? The rhetoric of puzzlement, that's all it is.
Still, the facts are there. We have now home-grown jihadists, bored and angry young men who have been persuaded by incendiary mullahs interpreting the Koran in battle-useful ways who seek to destroy the peace and freedoms their families have been offered. We have also immigrants who simply cannot settle down to build new lives, and are drawn back into the fray left behind in the homes they were so desperate to leave.
We read now that an al-Qaeda-backed group battling it out in Somalia is partly comprised of Canadians, according to a declassified intelligence report. Some of these "insurgents" have been killed in the effort, others have joined the ongoing struggle, and still others seek to make their way back to the country that had given them refuge. These are Canadian citizens become Somali-Canadian Islamist extremists. The mind boggles.
Canada's Department of Foreign Affairs estimates the actual numbers of Canadians of Somali birth are between one and five thousand-strong. The Council of Islamic Courts has been waging a terror war to establish a fundamentalist Islamic state in Somalia. Government troops, assisted by Ethiopia, the United States and African Union peacekeepers are fighting a rearguard action.
"Kenyan, Ethiopian and Somali Federal Transitional Government officials have stated Islamist extremists with Canadian identity documents were among those killed and captured as a result of fighting between TFG-Ethiopian troops and the CIC", according to a CSIS report released under an Access to Information request.
Canada, it would appear, hosts the largest ethnic Somali population outside of Africa. CSIS is actively investigating a suspected flow of recruits and funding to the Somali extremists, as well as possible links to domestic terror cells. Two Somali-Canadians were among the 17 idiots arrested last summer in Toronto for their part in a home-grown terror plot to place bombs in Toronto and Ottawa.
Bloody ingrates.
