Canadian PM: We won’t bomb the Islamic State even if attacked

January 6, 20167:57 am By Robert Spencer 10 Comments
Telling the enemy that you won’t retaliate if attacked is simply inviting him to attack you.

“Canadian PM: We won’t bomb ISIS even if attacked,” by Raphael Poch, Israel National News, January 5, 2016:

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is keeping his post-election promises and planning to put an end to the participation of the Canadian Air Force in the allied bombings of ISIS. Instead, he is moving Canadian efforts towards training local forces and towards providing humanitarian aid in Syria and Iraq.
In an interview with Global News, Trudeau said that he sees no reason to change this new policy towards ISIS and the threat of Islamic terror, even if a terror attack similar to the one in Paris were carried out on Canadian soil.
Trudeau, who as Prime Minister receives daily briefings on matters of national security, said that “it is no surprise that there are angry extremists and terrorists out there who wish Canadians and Canada harm and countries like it around the world. The key on understanding that, is how we let that affect us.”
“Obviously one of the most fundamental responsibilities of any government is to keep its citizens safe, and that is something that we are very focused on. But more than that, do we let ourselves be ruled by fear? Do we give in to the fear that there is a terrorist on every plane that may come to Canada? No, we cannot live that way and continue to be the hopeful country that we are. Quite frankly, fear doesn’t make us stronger; it makes us weaker. I feel that the job of being Prime Minister is to demonstrate that there are concerns, But we are working very hard on them, and people shouldn’t go through their lives afraid.”…
“We need to ensure that our intelligence community and our police services have the tools necessary to locate threats to Canadians. But anytime you are giving more resources to the intelligence agencies and the police, you need to bring in more oversight on those agencies to make sure that those powers are being properly used and not damaging our free society, and to make sure that they are doing everything they can to me Canadians safe.”
Trudeau said that “Canada is committed to having a military engagement in the fight against ISIL (ISIS) but in a helpful and substantive way. We have made the decision that we will pull out the CF-18’s and ending the bombings that Canada has been involved in, and we will be doing something else.”…

Man Charged With Attempted Murder After Machete Attack Near Eaton Centre
A man has been charged with attempted murder following what police call an unprovoked attack on another man near Toronto’s Eaton Centre Wednesday afternoon.
Arlington Thompson, 35, also faces charges of aggravated assault, assault with a weapon and possession of a weapon. Police say the man had a 30-centimetre machete, which he allegedly used in the attack. Police say the man also had a 20-centimetre hunting knife. Police now have both weapons.
The attack left a 30-year-old man with several injuries. Police say he is in stable condition in hospital.
Toronto Police Sgt. Gale Corra said the two men had no previous contact and no history with each other.
“They may have just been crossing each other on the street,” said Corra.
Police say they were called at 4:37 p.m. ET about the incident, which happened near Bay and Dundas streets.
A witness, Terence Yip, who works in technological support and maintenance for CBC, told CBC News that he was heading south on Bay Street when he heard yelling. He said one man was swinging at a man who was holding a guitar. Yip said a woman was yelling for police. He said a lot of people were in the area at the time.

The Airbrush is Mightier Than the Sword

As Kate McMillan says, the Canadian Press is in "particularly fine form" this Charlie Hebdo morn. Your uneducated, uncredentialed amateur would probably write something like:

On Jan. 7, 2015, two Muslim brothers killed 11 writers and artists at Charlie Hebdo for publishing cartoons they didn't like, as well as a policeman outside. Over the next two days, an accomplice shot a policewoman to death and then stormed a kosher supermarket, killing four Jews.

But if you're a highly trained J-school graduate you know that the trick with journalism is to identify the who-what-where-why - and then remove it all. Thus:

On Jan. 7, 2015, two Muslim brothers...

Whoa, wait a minute. Weren't these guys born in France? Why, then, the salient fact about their identity is that they're citoyens, Frenchmen, as French as Edith Piaf with frogs' legs hanging out of each nostril:

On Jan. 7, 2015, two French-born accordion-playing Gauloise-smoking Maurice Chevalier fans...

Hold up there! Not all the facts are in yet. We don't want to get ahead of ourselves:

On Jan. 7 2015, two French-born brothers killed 11 writers and artists at Charlie Hebdo for publishing cartoons they didn't like...

Wait a minute, that makes no sense. Why would French-born people kill cartoonists over some cartoons? French-born people love cartoons. It's the land of les bandes dessinées, Asterix, Lucky Luke... Just because the victims of these French-born people happen to be in a building that includes a magazine that publishes cartoons is no reason to go leaping to conclusions. How about..?

On Jan. 7 2015, two French-born brothers killed 11 people inside the building where Charlie Hebdo operated, as well as a policeman outside...

What's that? You're wondering whether it's misleading not to mention the Muslim angle to the story? You're right. Gimme a minute. Lemme see here. Hmm...

On Jan. 7 2015, two French-born brothers killed 11 people inside the building where Charlie Hebdo operated, as well as a Muslim policeman outside...

See how easy it is when you're a professional? That's the Muslim angle neatly wrapped up. So we've got French perps, Muslim victims, miscellaneous building occupants caught in the gunfire... What else? Oh, yes:

Over the next two days, an accomplice shot a policewoman to death and then stormed a kosher supermarket, killing four Jews.

How do we know they were Jews? As President Obama and his spokespersons said, they were just a "random" "bunch of folks". They could have been imams stopping in for some bagels after Friday prayers: Are we working that angle yet? They could be neo-Nazis picking up some gefilte fish for the weekend skinhead convention. It's hard to tell with names like "Cohen". So let's be responsible here, and say:

...killing four hostages.

And so we arrive at today's Canadian Press report:

On Jan. 7, 2015, two French-born brothers killed 11 people inside the building where Charlie Hebdo operated, as well as a Muslim policeman outside. Over the next two days, an accomplice shot a policewoman to death and then stormed a kosher supermarket, killing four hostages.

Beautiful. I'd nominate it for a Canadian Newspaper Award, but unfortunately, due to an editing oversight, someone left the word "kosher" in.
As Kate McMillan notes, on this anniversary, the dangerous violent French-born movement is again on the rampage.
Meanwhile, something happened in some town in Germany around New Year. But you don't need to know about that.

I'm Glad That I Don't Have Canadian Murder Rates Where I Live

I'm Glad That I Don't Have Canadian Murder Rates Where I Live


I recently prepared for an interview with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation concerning the tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut. I thought it would be worth my while to compare murder rates between the two countries, but also between adjoining divisions of those two countries. There was a time when Canadian murder rates were low enough compared to the U.S. for American gun-control advocates to argue in favor of Canadian style gun control for our country. This is no longer the case.
It is certainly true that for Canada as a whole, murder rates are still considerably lower than for the United States as a whole. For 2011, Canada had 1.73 homicides per 100,000 people; the United States had 4.8 murders and non-negligent homicides per 100,000 people. What I find fascinating, however, is to look at murder rates for Canadian provinces and compare them to their immediate American state neighbors. When you do that, you discover some very curious differences that show gun availability must be either a very minor factor in determining murder rates, or if it is a major factor, it is overwhelmed by factors that are vastly more important.
For example, I live in Idaho. In 2011, our murder rate was 2.3 per 100,000 people. We have almost no gun-control laws here. You need a permit to carry concealed in cities, but nearly anyone who may legally own a firearm and is over 21 can get that permit. We are subject to the federal background check on firearms, but otherwise there are no restrictions. Do you want a machine gun? And yes, I mean a real machine gun, not a semiautomatic AR-15. There is the federal paperwork required, but the state imposes no licensing of its own. I have friends with completely legal full-automatic Thompson submachine guns.
Surely with such lax gun-control laws, our murder rate must be much higher than our Canadian counterparts' rate. But this is not the case: I was surprised to find that not only Nunavut (21.01) and the Northwest Territories (6.87) in Canada had much higher murder rates than Idaho, but even Nova Scotia (2.33), Manitoba (4.24), Saskatchewan (3.59), and Alberta (2.8 had higher murder rates. (Okay, Nova Scotia is just a teensy-weensy bit higher than Idaho for 2011.)

Non Muslim minorities facing imminent genocide abandoned by Liberal government

Posted by: Doris Strub Epstein January 13, 2016

While Ottawa focuses only on an arbitrary decision to bring only Syrian migrants, continuing to ignore the problems inherent in their decision, they are ignoring hundreds of thousands of non Muslim minorities, targeted for immediate genocide by ISIS. At the top of the list are the ancient Yazidi people, then the Chaldo Assyrian Christians. But all non Muslim minorities – the Mandaens, the Bahai, Shebak, Turkoman – in northern Iraq and Syria are threatened.In August,2014, the Islamic State attacked northern Iraq, home to over 400,000 Yazidis. The UN confirmed that 5,00O men were executed and as many as 7,000 women and girls were made sex slaves. Last month, German broadcasters produced footage documenting the slave trade being conducted through an office in Turkey near the border with Syria. “IS offers women and underage children in a kind of virtual slave market with for sale photos.” Germany has committed to taking in immediately, 1000 of these ISIS victims for special treatment.
There are more than 25,000 Yazidi refugees currently languishing in Turkey and Syria according to Mirza Ismail, Chair Yazidi Human Rights Organization International. “They are abused by the Muslim authorities in charge, denied food and medicine. Or they can’t get into UN refugee camps at all since the Muslims who dominate the camps do not want them there,” he said. Daily, desperate Yazidi refugees are risking their lives, fleeing to Greece via the Aegean Sea on tube boats and on foot to Bulgaria. Since December 10, more than 40 have drowned. Majid Abdal a Yazidi who lives now in Toronto, lost his cousins, five children and their parents.
The same for the Chaldo Assyrian Christians who have repeatedly been forced to renounce their religion or die. Enslavement, rape; their churches destroyed.”
Ismail is recently back from Washington where he testified to a sub committee hearing of the US Committee on Foreign Affairs, Genocidal Attacks Against Christian and Other Religious Minorities in the Middle East. Obama too, is focusing only on Syrian refugees. Chairman Smith voiced the concern of the Committee that “the Yazidis, Christians and other non Muslim religious minorities are facing genocide. Their lives are at risk from ISIS”. They declared them “a refugee crisis”. “We are giving lip service to Never Again,” said Chairman Smith. “We must act”.
Senator Ron Johnson, chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee said: “There is a concern with this large volume in such a short period of time, that adequate vetting may not be occurring…these individuals could represent a threat to America given our porous border.”
It’s impossible to screen the Syrians for security since the institutions where they could be checked in Damascus no longer function. There are no records available. Furthermore, said Toronto immigration lawyer Guidy Mamann, no criminal records doesn’t eliminate the possibility of terrorists. “The 9/ll hijackers had no criminal records, nor the Boston marathon bombers or the San Bernardino shooters. These are no anti Muslim statements; they’re facts. Not all are bad, but some are. We are asking our border officials to do the impossible, to try and figure out what’s inside someone’s mind and to figure out what a person is going to be thinking tomorrow.”
“Also,” he added, “We are not pulling people (Syrians) out of the battlefield or people who are on the run. We are pulling people out of Jordan and Turkey who have been there for months, even years.” Now we discover that many of those, an estimated six percent of eligible Syrian refugees, are not interested in coming to Canada, hoping to be able to return to their home country.
In February, ISIS sent a message to the world, that they had 5,000 of their recruits planted among the Syrians coming into Europe. In Lebanon, where one in five is a Syrian refugee, the Minister of Education stated there were 20,000 jihadi terrorists among them. More than half of them were migrants from other countries in the Middle East or even farther, with faked Syrian passports.
A new report announced on CNN, warned that based on US Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s intelligence sources, ISIS has access to passport printing machines and blank passport books. They have announced publicly that they are sending their fighters to infiltrate Western nations by hiding them amongst refugees from the Middle East and North Africa.
For Jews, these persecuted peoples, abandoned by the world, strikes a painful, familiar chord. It evokes the anguish of the Jews of the thirties threatened with Nazi genocide. Then too, the world was silent. Jews were quick to respond. Soon after the initial attack by ISIS last Augusts, Canadian Jews and Friends of Yazidis formed in Toronto. They were making inroads with the previous government, but, reported head of the group, Rananah Gemeiner, she has called John McCallum, Minister of Immigration and Refugees repeatedly for an “immediate emergency meeting regarding the Yazidis and other minorities deserving priority refugee consideration,” and received no answer. Nor has Mirza Ismail.
Many, including President Obama, say the situation of Syrian refugees is similar to the plight of the Jews in WW11. But Jews were never a terror threat; there is evidence terrorists and radical Islamists are hiding among the Syrians. Jews were singled out for persecution by the Nazis; it is the Yazidis, the Christians and other non Muslim minorities who are being hunted down by ISIS. Jews had nowhere to go; Syrian refugees should have many places to go especially among the 57 member states of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation. The majority are migrants, not refugees as defined by international law. They include those who have found shelter but prefer to go to the Western countries.
The situation of the homeless Syrians is dreadful and heart wrenching. But choices must be made; priorities established. On humanitarian grounds, the Yazidis and other minority groups should receive priority because they are the most persecuted in the Middle East and have nowhere else to go. They present no social adaptation or security problems and face daily genocide and imminent extinction.
Dr. Catherine Chatterley Director of the Canadian Institute for the Study of Anti Semitism has stated; “Special priority should be given to the orphans, specially girls and young women, who are the most vulnerable to sexual assault and exploitation in refugee camps and the victims of ISIS’s rape culture of sexual slavery.

Canadian gov't insists its Syrian refugees won't rape

Immigration Minister says mass sexual assaults in Germany and Europe won't happen in Canada because of 'careful selection.'

Canadian Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship John McCallum tried to downplay fears at a press conference last week, insisting that the mass pre-planned sexual assaults in Europe on New Year's Eve are not a cause for concern in Canada.

While sexual abuse and rape were committed on New Year's by Arab migrants in a number of European states, including cities in Sweden as well as in Paris, some of the most shocking cases took place in Cologne, Germany, where authorities took over a week to confirm that Muslim "refugees" were the culprits behind hundreds of sexual assaults and several cases of rape.
McCallum said the Canadian government is aware of the "situation in Germany," indicating the campaign of sexual assaults, but claimed Canadian women need not fear because of the government's selection process.
“We are obviously very mindful of the situation in Germany, in the province of Germany...but let me remind you that we are talking about 25,000 Syrian refugees (in Canada)," said McCallum in his statement to the press. "Germany has accepted close to a million, and that the ones that we are receiving we have carefully selected them."
"Most of them are not single men. Most of them are family members whereas Germany accepts everybody that comes to its borders. I think the two situations are quite different. I certainly don’t want to take anything for granted and we will work extremely hard to integrate these newcomers successfully. But I think our situation is very different from Germany."
The statement comes after McCallum, two weeks ago on Friday, told CBC: "I don’t want to be boastful, but one of the things in which we do is show leadership is our capacity to build a multicultural society and our ability to integrate newcomers into it. Since you mentioned Germany, two ministers from Germany went to meet the mayor of Markham to ask him how we do it."
"There will be some bad apples, no doubt about it, it’s 25,000 people," he admitted, noting the number of Syrians to be brought in to Canada by the end of February. "But I think our past experience shows that generally speaking these newcomers have integrated themselves well, quite quickly will become employed and productive members of Canadian society."
The rapid influx of Middle Eastern migrants into Europe and North America in the last several months has led rise to serious concerns that aside from sexual assault, Islamic jihadists will infiltrate the masses and conduct terror attacks, as has already taken place in several instances such as the Islamic State (ISIS) Paris attacks last month.
