Coren and Fatah on Omar Khadr's useful idiot friends

Terrorist Scumbag Omar Khadr's lawyers are playing Canadians for suckers

Khadr's lawyers and his cult-like acolytes think it's funny that anyone would dare to ask why a convicted terrorist and murder isn't a danger.

The best part is how these assholes assert that an al Qaida and Taliban fighter couldn't possibly be ideologically motivated.

Then the Khadrite low-lifes actually assaulted the slight woman who was there to report for Sun News

Ezra Levant and Greg Renouf discuss the violent, racist idiots of Occupy Toronto

Ezra and Greg discuss the weirdness, bigotry and insanity that was on full display at an "Occupy Toronto" fundraiser.

The funds from this fundraiser have "gone missing" (h/t Blazing Cat Fur)

Occupy Toronto loons promoting murder, racism, domestic terrorism and anti-Semitism

Occupy Toronto, the movement that the left wing-media fell in love with back in the fall of 2011, was supposed to change the world.

The "99%" were going to revolutionize everyone's outlook on capitalism and income inequity and bring about  a mass movement to create the socialist paradise that had failed so many times before.

Less than a year later, they are all but forgotten and its few remnants are the dregs who are truly revealing about what really motivates the Occupy Movement.

GenuineWitty has details on the violence, domestic terrorism, racism, and anti-Semitism that Occupy Toronto is promoting. 

Keep in mind, this was a movement that was the brain-child of the anti-Semitic media guru Kalle Lasn of Adbusters.

Now they are promoting insane conspiracy theories, with `Billy`(above in video) threatening to behead Masons and advocating forming an ``Indian (i.e. aboriginal)  Taliban.``

Well-known radical activist Judy Rebick apparently was scheduled to participate in Occupy Toronto`s fundraiser today. Rebick`s website rabble.ca is funded by the same unions and NDP-affiliated organizations that sponsored various Canadian Occupy camps. It will be interesting if she turns up to lend her support to the depraved hate-mongering that is the real face of Occupy Toronto.

Too stupid to be Prime Minister: Justin Trudeau gets asked a non-softball question and assumes it's from Sun News

Justin "le Dauphin" Trudeau was asked whether he thinks it's wise to talk to the Taliban by a CBC news reporter on Parliament Hill. Obviously not used to getting asked serious questions by the Canada's consensus media, Trudeau immediately assumed the reporter was from Sun News.

Trudeau then avoided giving a straight answer to the question. But in fairness, it's Justin Trudeau we're talking about, so maybe he didn't understand it.

Radical Education: The University of Toronto's promotion of 9-11 conspiracy theories and sympathy for Taliban terrorists

"Critical Thinking" as a term suggests the ability to objectively analyze and critique data. But as a methodology taught at the University of Toronto's Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE)  it takes on an entirely different, sinister meaning worthy of a creation of the Ministry of Truth from George Orwell's 1984.

Turning logic on its head, the Marxist-influenced faculty teaches that Critical Thinking means to assume that American foreign policy is always in the wrong, that Western mainstream media is deceptive for the purpose of serving the government, that history is taught to further the aims of an oppressive patriarchy, and that the public, with the exception of those who are taught OISE's brand of Critical Thinking, are a mass of brainwashed dupes.

OISE's message - media is part of the conspiracy

In other words, at the University of Toronto's cultish ideological incubator for pedagogy throughout Canada, a "Critical Thinker" is someone who uncritically thinks exactly what they are told to at OISE.

That practice takes on an appalling twist at OISE's Centre for Media and Culture in Education. With the pretext of teaching "Critical Media Literacy" OISE is attempting to cast doubt that the September 11, 2001 attacks on New York and Washington were perpetrated by Muslim terrorists and that the Taliban was actually sheltering the al Qaida terror organization.

OISE Lesson

The word "allegedly" is something media must use when reporting on a crime before the courts that has not been proven. Its use in other contexts is generally for the purpose of casting doubt on the veracity of a report.  That word makes a number of appearances in OISE's Critical Media Literacy in Times of War lesson.

According to OISE, the al Qaida terrorist network "allegedly" carried out the 9-11 attacks,  "it was in Afghanistan that bin Laden..allegedly organized al Qiada and established training camps," and it was in Afghanistan where the Bush Administration "claimed" al Qaida was based.

From OISE lesson

All these terms, in the lesson, are not-so-subtle suggestions that the allegations of lunatic 9-11 conspiracy theorists are correct. Those being that the 9-11 attacks were planned by people inside the US government, and Zionists as a pretext for war.

Rather than being an educational institute, OISE is a centre of indoctrination. How else to describe a school that promotes and encourages Marxism,  an ideology that inevitably results in totalitarianism and has led to decades of repression and tens of millions of political murders?

This sort of sympathy for the Taliban is common at U of T's OISE. One of the Marxist professors at the Institution that produces people who devise school curricula throughout Canada recently produced a paper that attributed the cause of women's oppression in Afghanistan not to the Taliban or the harsh form of Islam it represents, but to a conspiracy among western governments, corporations and NGO's.

OISE's professors are academics of the most anti-intellectual kind. They are a type, to use a description provided by Emma Teitel in Macleans,  who speak "another language, a jargon you might misconstrue as scientific–only the words they (use aren't) shortcuts meant to simplify or summarize complex concepts, they (are) used to make simple concepts sound complex: Hegemonic, racialized, problematic, intersectionality... "

Toronto blogger Blazing Cat Fur received a visit from the police last week because he sarcastically mused OISE needs to be purged or burnt to the ground, whichever is more effective.

I have another idea. The spoiled, overpaid, dense OISE staff who are so sympathetic to the Taliban should be sent to live with those fanatics for a year. That dose of living outside their self-indulgent academic bubble might not do them so much good, but it would certainly benefit the students they would otherwise poison for that year.

Afghan duo who disrupted solemn Remembrance Day services want to sue Sun News for "defamation"

Two young Afghan-Canadian women who helped disrupt Remembrance day services last November say they want to launch a defamation suit against Sun News. The presumptive grounds is their claim they were libeled when referred to as "Taliban supporters" "Islamists" and "Jihadists."

The pair do however, make it very clear they want NATO and western forces out of Afghanistan.

If NATO, including Canadian forces were to withdraw from Afghanistan, who benefits and who loses?

The obvious answer is that immediate gain would go to the Taliban, the fanatical Islamist terror organization, which would likely regain control of the chaotic Central Asian country. The clear losers would be Afghan women, upon whom the Taliban, during their rule and in areas they control, imposed the most brutal and restrictive controls. The Taliban prevented women from receiving education, from having employment, from going out in public in anything more revealing than a full-body burkah, and from leaving home without permission of a male relative, among other primitive dictates from the catalogue of Islamic totalitarianism.

So it follows to reason that those advocating a NATO withdrawal from Afghanistan are, consciously or not,  acting in the de facto interests of and lending tacit support to the Taliban.

via facebook

Which brings us to a pair of young women who gained notoriety last November for a reprehensible display during Remembrance Day services at Toronto's Old City Hall. Laila Rashdie and Suraia Sahar both insist they are neither Taliban supporters nor Islamists, as they had been described following the incident which they helped to instigate. From their appearance, that claim seems entirely plausible.  Both wear modern western clothing and take advantage of Canada's generous education subsidies to all post-secondary students, privileges they would be deprived of were they living under Taliban control in what they often refer to as their "home country" of Afghanistan.

But by proposing a withdrawal of all foreign troops to Afghanistan, they are advocating for something the Taliban desperately wants so it can seize control in Afghanistan and restore their tyrannical rule.

So how would a modicum of  human and women's rights be preserved in Afghanistan if NATO were to pack up and leave? Ms. Sahar offered the phenomenally simplistic, nonsensical solution of providing education and health care. Things that have improved significantly under NATO's presence and would be eradicated under the Taliban. How women are going to receive these services without a competent armed force to preserve them is something she neglects to delineate because she obviously doesn't have the slightest clue.

What does seem apparent is Ms Sahar and Ms. Rushdie lack the mental acuity to connect rather obvious dots and comprehend that what they advocate serves to support the aims of the hateful Taliban Islamists.

Of course, profound, or even average insight is not something one expects from the sort of people who write things like,

"The ugly side of freedom is the state-run military spectacle supporting the NATO-led imperialist war and occupation in Afghanistan but parading as a false guilt-trip memorial for those who sacrificed to fight for “our” freedoms. Well, just in case you selectively forgot, your parade is and has always been on stolen, occupied, Native land - what about their freedoms to sovereignty and the Afghan peoples for self-determination? What about our freedom of speech which was infringed on when an officer called our message “trash” and “laughable.” We courageously endured a violent and racist crowd calling out: “go back to your country”, "

There's a priceless humor in the irony of the blatant hypocrisy of two women who refer to Afghanistan as their home condemning Canada as a settler colonial society on stolen land and then bitching about people who tell them to "go home". Unfortunately for the duo, understanding that appears to be beyond their cognitive abilities. If they actually believe the idiocy they propound, what are they doing here settling, occupying and stealing land from its rightful owners? If, as they have repeated, Afghanistan is their "home country," shouldn't they stop being occupiers, pack up, and go to a Taliban-occupied part of Afghanistan to experience what Afghan self-determination would actually be like if they got their wish for a NATO withdrawal?

Apparently that's something they want for other unfortunate Afghan women, but not for themselves. Maybe, though hypocrites, they aren't quite as stupid as they sound.

There are plenty of opinions and honest disagreements about the Canadian military role in Afghanistan and anyone has the right to speak out and demonstrate against it. But Remembrance Day services are solemn occasions meant to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice in the service of their country and the principles that represents. To choose the particular location and occasion of a Remembrance Day service to insult and demonstrate and intentionally offend those who have come to mourn is callous and disgusting. Anyone who does that, as my friend Michael Coren has observed, is in my opinion no better than the moral troglodytes of the Hillsboro Baptist Church who defile military funerals with their "God hates fags" protest signs.

While writing about their own courage, the pair of hypocrites who claim their free speech was deprived neglected to mention the police were actually protecting them from an angry mob they had riled up with their offensive display.

Rashdie and Sahar protest that they, with their banner, were not the ones shouting slogans during the moment of silence at the service and they were only one of four protest groups their to offend those honoring and mourning lost soldiers. To the casual observer, there would be no distinction between the two dozen or so ragged radicals who were intermingling and shaming themselves on that occasion. And, as a video shows,  the pair certainly enthusiastically participated in foul-mouthed, shrill, shameful hysteria that continued the disruption of the services that day.



The pair tried to justify themselves when they wrote,  

In 2001 we watched the invasion of our home country, Afghanistan. Fast forward 11 years later: Afghanistan is still occupied, and every year on Remembrance Day we are reminded of it. It has become painfully obvious that Remembrance Day is used as a war propaganda tool. If one is going to take offense to our presence, direct your misguided anger at those responsible for why we are taking offense. 

No one has the right to physically attack someone for their opinions. But someone would have to be a complete idiot to go to a service at that nature, provoke the crowd, and not expect such a response. While taking advantage of the freedoms that Canadian soldiers have fought and died to preserve, they came to a memorial to metaphorically spit on the graves of the people who gave them the rights they abused.

Their idiocy continued with:

This is a settler-colonial society, reinforcing itself through racism, which we witnessed at the Remembrance Day ceremony. This is what explains why a handful of racist, white men screamed in our faces to "go back to your country." They believe that they are the rightful owners of this land. We are never accepted as real Canadians in their rigid, exclusionary and alienating cultural terms. We are always deemed as a potential foreign threat especially when we reveal this status quo and hypocrisy. 

Speaking of hypocrisy, the pair, that alternatively posture themselves as either Canadian or Afghan, depending on which suits their needs at the moment,  claim to be "peace activists." It brings to mind the sort of peace activism the late Christopher Hitchens described when he wrote,   "in reality, they are straight out pro-war, but on the other side."  

That seems evident from an article penned by Leila Rushdie in which she wrote:

We should support the Palestinian national fight for liberation against a military super-power threatening the Near East. The Zionist project is founded upon colonialism and genocide of Palestine. Palestine acts in defense to a colonizer that has been viciously taking Palestinian land and lives in one hand while shamelessly claiming peace and negotiations in the other. The comparison maps of Palestine since 1946 till today speak for itself about the intentions of Apartheid Israel: its about land, not peace.

Aside from other apparent idiocies, for so-called peace activists such as Rushdie and Sahar, Western troops fighting against Islamic Jihadists who throw acid in the face of Afghan women who want an education is bad, but Muslim Jihadists who murder Israeli civilians to replace a liberal democracy with an Islamic state is just fine.

But remember, Ms Rushdie and Ms Sahar are not Taliban supporters, Islamists or Jihadis. They just, by remarkable coincidence, share a lot of desired outcomes with them.

Another sign the west is dying - Canada's military punished for making fun of the enemy

Canadian soldiers are sent to risk their lives in Afghanistan, many of them having been killed in the line of duty, to fight the Taliban and al Qaida there. But God help our soldiers if they have the temerity to mock the enemies they have been sent to kill! That would be culturally insensitive and deeply offensive to the politically-correct thought totalitarians at the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.

While sipping vintage champagne at overpriced hotels on the taxpayers' dime, the superior beings at the CBC who are tasked with deciding how the less enlightened hoi polloi should think must have been tut-tutting like a cuckoo upon hearing that Canadian soldiers are parodying the enemies with whom they are at war.

Exploding in outrage, the CBC has railed to the point where a contrite Canadian military is conducting an investigation of the offense of offending those who identify with Osama bin Laden.

While this sounds too absurd to be taken seriously, the signs that such stupidity would compel our government into abasement before the cultural engineers were abundant. Only last week we heard of the  suspension of Queen's University professor Michael Mason for using phrases heard during the time of the Second World War to illustrate attitudes at the time. He wasn't endorsing them but informing his students of examples.

There is a war, not only of arms but of of values being fought between the west and Islamist forces. The most basic value we claim distinguishes us from our enemies is that we claim to represent "freedom" and the most essential principles of that freedom being free speech.

Yet when we see how those who have the power to affect others in our society act and overreact to incidents where they are or are expected to be offended by free speech, something horrifying becomes apparent. Our leaders talk about freedom but not only do they not believe in it, they are working against it.

If we continue along this path we will become just like the enemies we claim are our inferiors. When that happens, we will lose to them because they are unencumbered by the same idiotic concerns about offending others. They teach their children to hate us, to kill us and to take joy in so doing. They are more determined than we are and unless, as a society, we wake up, we are destined to defeat to a culture that will have no qualms about imposing its values on us and killing those who don't accept them.

And if you don't believe that, try walking around as a woman without your head covered in Iran, as a Gay man kissing another Gay man on the lips there, as a Baha'i praising your own religion, or anyone speaking out against the Supreme Ayatollah.

Maybe that last example came too late. Now in Canada if you are in the military and dare to so much as mock an Ayatollah, you could end up on charges.




As blogger Scaramouche intimated, the CBC better file a hate crimes complaint against Paramount Pictures too..

Christopher Hitchens: Taliban reality finally dawns on human rights camp

Even in a week that concentrated all eyes on the magnificent courage and maturity of the people of Cairo, a report from Kabul began with what must surely be the most jaw-dropping opening paragraph of the year. Under the byline of the excellent Rod Nordland, The New York Times reported: “International and local human rights groups working in Afghanistan have shifted their focus toward condemning abuses committed by the Taliban insurgents, rather than those attributed to the American military and its allies.” 

The story went on to point out that the Taliban was culpable for “more than three-fourths of all civilian casualties” and informed us that some human-rights groups are now so concerned that they are thinking of indicting the Taliban for war crimes. “The activists’ concern,” Nordland went on, “would have been unheard-of a year ago,” when all the outcry was directed at casualties inflicted by NATO contingents.

The story became more mind-boggling as it unfolded. One had to ask oneself what had taken the human-rights “community” so long.

The Taliban in Pakistan

With the news that it has increased its nuclear arsenal, Pakistan has the potential to become the world's most dangerous failed state.

The nice people to whom James Clark and the "Canadian Peace Alliance" want you to abandon Afghanistan

One wonders whether some of the so-called "anti-war" groups are, as Chrsitopher Hitchens observed, really pro-war but for the other side.

For those of you who thought religions which practiced human sacrifice were a thing of the past, the Taliban's version of Islam proves otherwise.

WARNING: These videos contain disturbing, graphic content of a young couple stoned to death by the Taliban because the bride ran away from an arranged marriage.

Bob Rae on Canada's continuing role in Afghanistan

Eye on a Crazy Planet is a non-partisan Canadian blog insofar as it takes positions on issues rather than political parties. (OK, I don't consider the NDP or Greens to be real political parties).

Liberal Foreign Affairs Critic Bob Rae reminds us that the Liberals understand the need for the defense of liberal democracy.

"The terrorists do not have a timetable. The terrorists do not have resolutions that say this is what has to happen and this is the day we have to do this and we have to do that.

The terrorists have a different objective, and we need to understand that as a House. Canadians have to come to terms with the need for this continuing engagement; they have to come to terms with the need for us to stay involved and stay engaged, not at the expense of our own people, not at the expense of our democratic traditions and not at the expense of how we do business as a country, but as partners."

Omar Khadr is being persecuted for his taste in fashion

Just like Jeffrey Dahmer was persecuted for his taste in food.

The trial of Canada's now 23 year old "child soldier" for Al Qaida has begun..

Retired Sgt. Layne Morris, who was wounded in the firefight, said Wednesday he didn't think it would be in "anybody's best interest to have Omar Khadr running around ... as a free individual gearing up for his next jihad. I haven't heard anything that would lead me to believe that [Khadr] is going to be anything other than a threat if he's released from custody," said Morris

More pictures of young Omar with his fashion accessories can be seen here.

Check out this remarkable insight into the Khadr family's collective mind-set provided by Omar Khadr's sister Zaynab:
