But why? Attacking Canada makes no sense, what would they gain? Maybe these guys were a rogue element?

I was listening to the story on NPR this morning. They also couldn't quite wrap their minds around why muslim radicals would attack Canada either. It made me laugh, the answer has been obvious for over 20 years at least.

You mean besides the fact they belong to the same religion where the heads of their belief tell them that they should?

Hmm this just goes to show certain elements in our society that think we are not at war, that we are.

Why?

Because Canada is not yet an ultra-fundamentalist Muslim Theocracy, and that is the ultimate goal of the Muslim extremists.

They will continue to attack the US, Canada, Spain, Australia, England... ANY country that is not part of their Islamic Utopia.

They will do so until we all either submit, or until we kill them all.

I prefer the "kill them all" option.

Mike

That's true. Maybe even W will figure it out now. It's too bad he couldn't figure it out before running off into Iraq.

How true, my heart really and truly goes out to Indian people... they've had to unwillingly put up with all forms of discrimination due to the public confusing them as Muslims. The majority of Indians are very educated, and their culture is very accepting and warm. The only one exception is the Sikhs maybe, because they have a history as being warriors... but they are also nice people and in no way extremists in any way. It's too bad that Indians have to put up with it... BTW... I don't consider Pakistanis as being "Indians".... there's a fine difference there for sure. I hope that Pakistan will one day change into a country similar to Turkey; Turkey is predominantly Muslim but they are very accepting of other cultures and have excellent relations with other countries including the US and Israel. As for Canada, I hope it will survive as a great example of what peace can be like with a mixture of all types of cultures and religions. It amazes me how people from different countries come to Canada and become good friends and neighbors. All in search of the same Canadian dream I guess. Truly remarkable. On the most part, Canada truly is the UN personafied.

ISLAMIC UTOPIA??? Shome mishtake shurely...

Look at Baghdad and the Palestine, the various factions and sects are killing one another, that can't even agree among themselves what the religion should be, someone said here it seems like it is a perverse medieval religion that should have died 1000 years ago but somehow survived

There was an interview with a man selling ice on the street in Baghdad, which would seem like an eminently sensible and clever thing to do, to earn money for his family, but who may have to desist, after receiving death threats from militants saying this was "un-Islamic"

Take away all their guns, IEDs, and bombs, please!!

I certainly hope not! If I were Canadian, I would probably consider that comment an insult!

The UN is an ineffectual, corrupt, indecisive, whining, wasteful, hypocritical, tyrant-supporting, money-grubbing, money-wasting, and largely useless organization. Kind of like our own US Congress, except 1,000 times worse.

Most Canadians are FAR smarter than that.

The police didn't say as much in their statements, being uber-politically correct, but I'm surprised and somewhat pleased that the paper ran the article, essentially saying let's call it like it is - all 17 suspects were muslim radicals.

Not sure why they'd want to bomb us? Maybe they want control of the Tim Horton's franchise?

The levity is good, Zeus, but for the benefit our American neighbours, the simple fact of the matter seems to be that we [Canada] have become a training ground for these Muslim extremists, and by planning to terroise us, are probably just sending another warning to the US goverment - their principal target.

Our Canadian troops - 2000 of them - fulfilled their two year commitment to NATO, but our stupid Prime Minister Harper's ( George W's. buddy!) majority Conserative parliament recently rammed in another two year extension for NATO in Kandahar.

There isn't a nation in the world, which after a reasonable occupation by foreign troops that would not rebel against them - my native country Ireland, is a prime example of what I'm referring to, even 84 years after we lost six of our counties in the 1922 partition that created what is called Northern Ireland, and after 800 years of British domination.

That's the way I see it, anyway.
