About Kate
Why this blog?
Until this moment
I have been forced
to listen while media
and politicians alike
have told me
"what Canadians think".
In all that time they
never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."

If wishes were horses...then beggars could ride......
Last I checked the Commonwealth of Australia was under the aegis of Her Majesty the Queen; who has adopted some prosciptions to Islamic State fanatics.
Why is this man and his followers not on the next plane to what remains left of Syria?

What a ratbag. Time to resurrect the word "sedition"
Why are they considered extremists? Sounds like a pretty middle of the road position to me.
hands up all those who believe this is not happening in Canada right now!
Isn't there some big hole they should be standing in front of when they tell the Ozzies this?
Seriously, 'middle of the road' on the "ROADKILL DIARIES"...you're joking right?

This moderate Muslim wants to raise an Islamic army in Australia and take over the government of the Country, but the Minister says "acts of terrorism will be investigated".
I dunno if this can be seen as an act of terrorism, but personally,I'd consider this guy guilty of treason and fomenting revolution.Do they have to set off a bomb or shoot people before the authorities pay attention?
Don't worry,these folks won't try this in Canader until we have a government they see as "friendly", or WEAK.
Which means any government led by Justin Trudeau.
Australian politicians are wussy enough to accept this sort of thinking. After all, they took away all the guns, and Indonesians are nice guys, so what's the problem? Time to get ready for the next big sporting event, mates. Whose shout?
I took jdm's comment to mean, as I mean, that it is inaccurate to label these people who want sharia law in Australia (and elsewhere) as "extremists" because in the context of Islam they are moderates, middle-of-the-road, ordinary Moslems. Their religion provides for them to accept that while they are living in a country that is not Islamic they can peacefully abide by its laws, but they should seek meanwhile to change its laws to sharia eventually, either by using means allowed by that country's laws (democratic advocacy, demographic dominance) or by working to make conquest possible eventually.
This is important because the messenger of Allah was an Aussie don't you know. The only thing these fanatical followers have in common with Australia are camels. Seriously, what gives these a$$holes the right to have their way? As far as I'm concerned, you immigrate, you integrate, you obey the laws of the land, period. These extremist idiots should be lucky the civilized world doesn't start another crusade and finish what they missed last go around.
Oh, dear, a small kerfuffle... it was meant sarcastically because if you followed the link, you'd see that anywhere from a large percentage all the way up to a majority of Muslims depending on the country think Sharia Law is just all right with [them] - and everybody else. TheTooner wins.
'course it's always fun to misunderstand and rant.
Hats off to that Australian media guy (didn't catch his name).
That was old fashioned investigative journalism...no white wash, no dumbing down, no what-he-really-meant blather.
Sayyid Qutb, Egyptian author, educator, Islamic theorist, poet, and the leading member of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood in the 1950s and 1960s, put it this way:
"The basis of the Islamic message is that one should accept the shari’ah without any question and reject all other laws, whatever their shape or form. This is Islam. There is no other meaning of Islam."
Sharia is Islamic law. It is the code of conduct that encompasses every aspect of human life and society. Living faithfully as a Muslim means, as Qutb wrote, doing what sharia requires and not doing what it forbids. That is all. There is nothing else to Islam.

"IF THEY SHOOT AT OUR SOLDIERS WE WILL KILL THEM"-Prime Minister Stephan Harper
Thank you lord!!
"...Seriously, what gives these a$$holes the right to have their way? ..."
I think they go by the old adage "Might makes right." According to their prophet, whatever they can get away with must be what their god wants to happen. (That's a large part of why they suck at so much of running a civilization. They aren't responsible for failure, it's the will of god.)
OK, so we are fighting Anarchy, NOT Islam. But did he really say:
But in the fight against "anarchy", "we have to also keep our heads",

Anarchy! Good one.
To think he came close to becoming President of the United States with a little help from Dan Rather and Mary Mapes. If it weren't for a few bloggers and some Swift Boaters he might have succeeded.
They like every other civilization they have conquered will turn Australia into just another desert. Islam is a locust plauge not an Ideology or much less a religion
200 goofs show up at some third rate banquet hall and have a rousing good time yelling that they're going to impose Sharia law.
This does not worry me.
Because they are GOOFS, my friends. Their collective capacity to make their Sharia dreams a reality is just about zero. Do we worry when 200 "Nazis" show up someplace and make a spectacle of themselves? Do we even worry when 200 "Activists" show up and try to burn down Ferguson Missouri? No.
What worries me is what's going to happen when the likes of Shiny Pony and all the rest of our slime infested political class decide there's money and advantage in taking these goofs at their word. Right now they think there's money and advantage in overlooking these "youthful high spirits", as it were.
Let's not lose sight of who the real Enemy is. These mooselimb w@nkers barely qualify as comic relief.
Time to talk seriously about limiting further immigration from Islamic governed nations methinks. There's two Japanese men I've seen on the news who'd support that...if they still happen to be alive.
Stop immigration (invasion) from Moslem countries and deport any Moslem advocating tyranny, anarchy and oppression (Sharia), pretty simple really. Swearing allegiance to the country that takes you in should actually mean something.

You will wonder who in their right mind would bring these people into any western country.
All well and good to voice our concerns on SDA. But its to the 'decision makers' that we should be speaking. When I saw yet another woman wearing a niqab in my local library yesterday, I knew it was time to write the Prime Minister a note (again). I urge all my fellow SDA'ers to consider doing likewise.
______________________________________________________________________
Dear Prime Minister Harper and Immigration Minister Alexander;
I am writing this from Nanaimo, a small city of 86,000 on Vancouver Island. I wish to acknowledge that as a young country, Canada has been a destination of choice for immigrants from around the world and we are a better nation l for having accepted them. Indeed, we will need many more skilled and highly adaptable immigrants in the years ahead.
Having said that, I also wish to say that I am deeply disturbed by ever more frequent appearances of women wearing a full niqab as I shop and do business in my community. The niqab, allowing only the eyes to be visible is a symbol, a statement that says “I am apart from you” that “your values are not my values” and that I have no intention or wish to integrate with the Canadian community. It is as much a social/political statement as a religious convention.
I question whether these women sat before an immigration official wearing the niqab as they went through the immigration process. Or did they temporarily ‘bow to convention’ in order to facilitate the process, knowing that Canadians would ‘tolerate’ garb that isolates and alienates as a symbol of misogyny? I wonder why those who have made the considerable effort to immigrate, would choose to alienate the community they’ve found attractive?
Women wearing the niqab – and by extension the spouses who either insist on their doing so or who support them in isolating themselves – are less able to contribute to the well being of Canada. They will not find jobs. They will not integrate with their more diverse and secular neighbours. Their isolation can lead only to creating ‘enclaves’ of like minded individuals and I fear that immigrants who cling to the symbols of fundamentalist Islam are here not to ‘Canadian’-ize themselves and their children but rather as ‘missionaries’ in the spread of fundamentalism.
There are so many worthy immigrants from around the globe who are willing and able to adapt to and embrace Canadian values and customs and who would willingly contribute to our society. I am asking that our immigration officers be directed to be much more discerning and circumspect in whom is given the precious privilege of the opportunity to become ‘a Canadian’.
Well said. I have also expressed concerns in similar fashion going back several years now. To their credit I have received a condescending reply each time, yet nothing ever seems to change. They will have to learn the hard way as so many other countries have because the left is legion and political correctness still trumps common sense. At least we can say we tried and eventually we can say "we told you so", but when have you ever heard a politician say "we made a mistake" ? I never have.
Sedition, plain and simple.
Note all that entered that speech and rally around the extreme rhetoric...and deport them. Period...not really rocket science.
Soon, it will stop.
Anyone who does not now believe that 9-11 was not at least the symbolic beginning of WW111 is delusional.
Phantom - Your real name wouldn't happen to be "Neville", would it?
Tell me Bob, do you understand the use of the word "free" in the phrase "freedom of speech"?
People are allowed to get together and say stuff you don't like, Bob. This is a cornerstone of Conservative thought. Its the Liberals who have a problem with it. Maybe you should switch teams.
Now, should we be importing another million people into Canada who want to live under Sharia law? No, that we shouldn't be doing. But again, Liberals. They think everything will be fine, because their plan is to make everybody live with a jackboot standing on their neck.
Does it worry you at all and I like and always read your posts that it took only one guy to shoot up the parliament? Imagine if 2 guys like the ones at Charlie's in Paris had shown up in Ottawa. The blood bath would have been staggering. These 200 are allied with 1.6B others. Ben Shapiro noted some 870,000,000 muslims are what we consider to be radicals or extremists as defined by the Pew survey.
When muslims get together and practice "free speech" by calling for an overthrow of the Australian government shouldn't the Aussies listen to that message. The muslims have the right of free speech to say they will kill you, you have the right to respond to that threat. Our governments across the West are cowards in their PC bending to islam. I would love to see and cheer loudly if the Aussies had of rounded up everyone at that meeting and deported them en masse.
Them's fightin' words!
