The PinkPatchCom pic on the right half-way down makes quite a fetching contrast!

If only our leaders had the wisdom and courage to openly wage war on Islamic terrorism and speak frankly to those who "force them" to pretend we are fighting a war against a tactic.

The war on Islamic fanatics/radicals/just plain sick sub-human bastards may have to involve much more than most are willing to admit.

Problem one, we have to stop allowing them to live among us. They are here, they are involved in the fabric of the nation, we have no idea who, where or what they're up to until it's too late.
Any immigration from Islamic countries at this point is risky and outright dumb.
Our forces are fighting such terrorists in Afghanistan. How many so-called Canadian citizens are supporting them? We have no idea.
Any who are already here supporting terrorism are protected by our very own Trudeau Charter. We are set up as an accident waiting to happen.

We have a government willing to fight to win the war against such evil with an even bigger fight with the likes of Bloc and Dippers and some Liberals who are opposed.

Glad we didn't have so many stupid lame brained idiots running the country when we fought in two World Wars.

Yes. Clearly Moore would approve of something as monstrous as this.

In Iraq the mentally handicapped blow things up. In Canada they pen right-wing blogs.

"If only our leaders had the wisdom and courage to openly wage war on Islamic terrorism and speak frankly to those who 'force them' to pretend we are fighting a war against a tactic."

How true.

Here's the reality: you do not wage war against tactics.

It's like calling the Second World War in Europe "The War Against Tanks."

I think I can type now that my hands have stopped shaking. I have a 40 yr old brother with down's. My brothers and I have spent a lifetime doing volunteer work with down's children and adults.
I am completely sickened and horrified(but not surprised)by this act of barbarity.

I am not really sure what to say. Part of me wants to take an offensive posture, and attack the next fundamentalist that crosses my path(which we have a few of here in university city). Sadly, that would land me in jail, so, for now, it is not an option. But the revulsion and hatred I feel for these scumbags is now overwhelming.

Using mentally retarded people as homicide bombs!

S I C K E N I N G ! ! !

"The PinkPatchCom pic on the right half-way down makes quite a fetching contrast!"

So does the BNP's blonde bombshell!

"Glad we didn't have so many stupid lame brained idiots running the country when we fought in two World Wars."

Actually, we had a fair number of lame-brains.

But, to their credit, they were generally patriotic lame-brains.

Allah hath purchased of the believers their persons and their goods; for theirs (in return) is the garden (of Paradise):
they fight in His cause, and slay and are slain: a promise binding on Him in truth, through the Law, the Gospel, and the Qur'an:
and who is more faithful to his covenant than Allah? then rejoice in the bargain which ye have concluded: that is the achievement supreme.

Sura 9:111 (Yup, 911)

Is this true? Did they really use Down's syndrome victims?

I'm going to wait for alternate confirmation before buying into this. It's just too depraved to be believed.

Do you guys really think even a tiny fraction of Muslims would support something like this? Do you think that somebody who would do such a thing stands the remotest chance of winning a war?

Do you think that the way to proceed is to vilify all Muslims and anyone who thinks this war was a bad idea?

Come on. Use your heads for a change. Please.

"Come on. Use your heads for a change."

Tell that to Daniel Pearl's widow.

John...do you think Muslims would be able to speak out against this?Do you think they are trying to 'win a war' by being popular?
John dear, they don't have your politically correct measuring stick out.
It's called 'terrorism'...because it's based on terrorising.
I guess like Moore you just don't get it John.

rabbit: If I'm not mistaken, the Islamists used a 1-year old child as a murder bomb in an earlier, but foiled, attempt to get Bhutto in Pakistan.

And the Taliban tried to use a 6 year old:

kingstonlad is shaken; and, rightly so.

We can look to our English literature for enlightenment. This sacrifice is the work of Moloch's votaries/adherents, aka Muslims.

The year 2008 is the quatercentenary of the birth of John Milton (1608-1674). In his Paradise Lost he speaks of Moloch, a god/idol, which demanded human children as a sacrifice.

"Moloch, horrid king, besmeared with blood
Of human sacrifice, and parents' tears;
Though, for the noise of drums and timbrels loud,
Their children's cries unheard that passed through fire
To his grim idol."
http://www.readprint.com/chapter-7361/John-Milton

maz2...sadly there is nothing new under the sun. Child sacrifice is recorded as abominations of some societies in historic books of the Old Testament.

"Do you guys really think even a tiny fraction of Muslims would support something like this? Do you think that somebody who would do such a thing stands the remotest chance of winning a war?"

I would hope and believe that the majority of Muslims would not support this. However, the Islamic ideology does. Essentially, morals in Islam are different. Whatever promotes and helps the spread of Islam is considered good (ie. jihad and their screwed up notion of martyrdom) and whatever hinders it is considered evil.

That's why most of what they consider good, as far as what their texts condone and promote, is the opposite of the way the rest of the world, common law and universal human rights considers good.

As well, unlike most other religions, there is no golden rule in Islam. Compassion is reserved for the Ummah only, within the theological restrictions of shariah. The world is divided into dar al Islam (the house of submission) and dar al Harb (the house of war).

If Islam were to adopt two principles - the golden rule and "love thy non-Islamic neighbour as thyself, as the final word of God and these verses abrogated all others, well, then, we wouldn't be having any problems.

So that would make them a child soldier...1) No subject to prosecution if caught before

2) Makes whoever ordered it a war criminal.

Chnaces of them being brought, or even charged at the hague....zero

"Actually, we had a fair number of lame-brains." JJM

But in WW11 the lame-brains were controlled. No news reports were allowed unless they passed censorship. A neighbor of ours was "put away" for open support of Hitler. As a youth I remember hearing grumblings: " we better watch what we say".

The most important component of any war is the psychological front. That's why the Vietnam war was called the "Living Room War"; because it was waged in front of the nation"s television sets.

This is not some brilliant discovery of the modern age. 1500 years before the birth of Christ a Chinese philosopher and warrior penned this: "It is more perfect to start a riot in your enemies bazaar than to attack one of his outposts". (not an exact quote)

We know that the MSM is poisonous when it comes to attacking anything not pacifist. I'm constantly amazed at what is allowed when our soldiers are in the field. Apparently we can yell Fire in a crowded theater.
No wonder the Islamofascists are so bold.

I am the mom of a child with DS. I am utterly sickened and heartsick over this. Those terrorists will pay dearly in hell one day for this horrific act. This is one of the worst things I have ever heard of in my life...

Anyone still think they can negotiate with scum like that????

If you recall, Hamas once jacketed up a mentally handicapped teenager. He was stopped at an Israeli checkpoint.

Kate, I was just going to mention that one. Still, you remember the female burn victim who was sent by the Palis to blow up the hospital she was treated in? She got lucky and was caught at a checkpoint. Managed to pull the ripcord but her bomb malfunctioned.

Nice people the Palestinians. Their flag looks good hanging on the Mohawk Warrior Society flagpole in Caledonia.

"The year 2008 is the quatercentenary of the birth of John Milton (1608-1674). In his Paradise Lost he speaks of Moloch, a god/idol, which demanded human children as a sacrifice."

Milton may have known that allah is the Arabic name for the ancient Sumarian and Caananite god Sin (BTW, Ilah means God in Arabic, Allah is an Ilah, or greatest of). Hence, Sinai, the land of Sin. The Caananites (PHoenicians) were the ones abhorred by the Israelite God, Yahweh, primarily because of their savage religion and blood sacrifice of children, with the help of the unquenchable Ishtar. Abimilech, the Father of Moloch (in Canaan), was a big believer in Human and Child Sacrifice as well.

Oil was a big commodity in those days. The thick version was called pitch or tar and was essential in keeping the Phoenician fleet afloat.

John, you are obviously a morally retarded jackass. May I suggest you don a suicide vest and detonate yourself on the tundra, where the lichen will be the only victim. It's cretins like you who are going to ensure the Islamofascists win. Do civilization a favour and remove yourself.

This wasn't the first time the terrorists in Iraq used a Downs Syndrome person as a bomb.

About a year after the Iraq liberation, terrorists in Basra did this. They knew the family because they went to the home when they knew the parents were away and only the 16 year old Downs Syndrome boy was home. The terrorists tricked the boy into wearing a bomb and walking into a crowded intersection, then they set off the bomb by remote control.

The boy, his parents' only child, was killed as were a number of the people in the street. There was a photo of the distraught father on the newsmagazine website where I read this-heartbreaking.

This is the depth of utter evil with which Western Civilization is now confronted. And it's them or us-we cannot co-exist. The Democrats, the NDPers, the Brit Labourites might not grasp that but the parents of that boy in Basra do.

I have a handicapped g/son, and this has me furious. Sorry, but I will never ever buy anything in any store with a muslim in it, or owned by it. I will tell any taxi company that I have a dog, and booze, plus ham sandwiches. That should keep them away. And Jack supports these savages. How do other ndp members feel about that, do you also support these killers.
Remember, if you vote ndp you support these actions.

Al Qaeda are rabid animals that are begging to be put down. Only way I can make any sense of this.

Our war "vets" overseas have my support 110% to continue administering the necessary treatment with extreme predjudice.

And let's not forget Khomeini's plastic keys to paradise.

One million old men and children were given these in order to sacrifice themselves to mine clearing during the Iran/Iraq war.

MaryT,

Remember, most Muslims are nominal Muslims, they are born Muslim. A religion not of their own choice, they are then threatened with death for apostacy. The fundamental ideology and those who promote and carry it out are at fault here.

I haven't been here much lately. So is John the new troll?

Dear John.

1/10 of 1 % is a tiny minority. 1/10 of 1% of 1.3 billion is 1.3 million. A fraction of this number is enough to wreak enough havoc to cause the majority to submit-as you have already.

All it takes is a determined tiny minority and an apathetic uninformed majority composed of people like you.

The new democracy which we have stood up in Afghanistan is now presiding over the execution of an infidel for blasphemy. You have no idea of the seriousness of this problem.

Kingstonlad and Soccermom (and now I see MaryT), I share your revulsion. I have a mentally handicapped son. Down Syndrome people are some of the most gentle, kind and loving people on the face of the earth. I am beyond sickened. This report simply made me cry.

John, you are truly an idiot if you think that these people represent a tiny fraction. If they did, the war against terrorism would have been won long ago. The "tiny fraction" would have been beaten back by thinking human beings before they even started to terrorize the masses.

This may not be 1939 but it's getting damn near close. If you want to close your eyes to the propensity of disenchanted groups of people to follow the might of the unbalanced, believing they have no other choice because others fail to tell them not only do they have a choice, they have a clear obligation to the human race to fight against the evil that lives among us, you are insane. If you are suggesting that they don't know the difference, I frankly don't know what to call you.

You should be ashamed of yourself. Kate's comment was not without some reason, yours was.

hey John; your politically correct liberal opinions offend me - shouldn't you be visiting the moveon and al jazeera websites to validate your twisted and depraved views?

One of Arafat's little tricks was to have young "Palestinian" women seduced by his Fatah thugs, then tell them they had to self-detonate as a more honourable way to die -- more honourable than being slaughtered in a "honour" killing by the shamed family. And they're the moderates Condi Rice is banking on for her legacy.

Well said, Jan.

What the world witnessed today was an act of pure evil, on a par with something Hitler would approve of.

Global capitulation/appeasement to Islamic jihadists scares me a hell of a lot more than Global Warming/Climate Change (yes, they call it climate change when it's cold outside because "warming" just doesn't sound right). We in the West need to get our priorities straight for the sake of our kids' and grandkids' futures.

World War II should have taught us something...

There you go with the fascism thing again.

Adolf started, in 1938 with a program known as “Aktion T4″ which eliminated the disabled.

Now the Islamists have given “Aktion T4″ an explosive new twist.

soccermom...the reason WWII taught us nothing was because not enough leftards where killed off. IMHO,both Japan,Germany and Russia should have been totally leveled. We were too lenient then and are now reaping the crop. As for the ME,I happen to like Mac's built on glass parking lots. Let the leftard/racist comments begin! HEH

a unique way of ridding Islam of infidels perhaps? gays, most women, mentally challenged, they probably don't have much of a homeless problem either .

John....and anyone else out there that hates us in Iraq and Afganistan.

Can you really sit back and enjoy your double double every day and worry about more important things like universal day care or $15 cap on seniors drugs when parts of the world are left to be ruled by ruthless thugs?

we have a chance to help some of the most helpless people in the world. And we should. The argument that we have problems at home fails to acknowledge the many programs we already have. Any first nation or minority can get help, much more than in any other place on earth I think.

What i am trying to get at is, and this is, far-fetched, what if someone came to you on your judgement day and asked what you did to stop this from happening? Have you done enough to help the weak?

Take it a step further. In North Korea, 3 generations can be jailed for one persons crime. We cannot do anything for a variety of reasons but should we?

Sorry for going on but, look at the pictures in the link. Look at the background. Iraq could be a beautiful place. It needs to be able to do it alone I agree but it also needs help. And we need it to be stable.

Or there will be killings in the streets of Canada.

Something I fear will happen in my lifetime.

Hey John, The Michael Moore reference might be something you're not familiar with. He once described the lowlifes fighting the Americans in Iraq as minutemen or freedom fighters. FYI.

Thanks, soccermom.

People like John haven't learned nearly enough about what it is to be a human being. The poor women that were targeted today by the Al-Qaeda miscreants were far more learned in that regard.

You mean like some on the right hold up the terrorist Ronald Reagan as some kind of freedom fighter?

Savages.

To all apoligists:
"Do you guys really think even a tiny fraction of Muslims would support something like this? Do you think that somebody who would do such a thing stands the remotest chance of winning a war?"

If the MAJORITY did not support such horrible and sickening actions, Muslims by the MILLIONS would be out in the street. But no, you can't turn against any member of our slimy religion, it just ain't done. But show a cartoon!!!

And using the Downs Syndrone people is only the thin edges of the wedge of what they have done and will do

I am furious and sickened by Canada's NDP. Tonight on CPAC NDP Dawn Black called OUR brave and patriotic Canadian soliers War Mongers!!!!!

I'm sorry - I simply cannot control my rage and distrust at this party of treasonous sanctimonious blow hards. The scary thing is that people like THIS get ELECTED in our country.

Anybody else catch this?

If anyone catches that to youtube, please let me know.

The Islamic Jihadists have long been using mentally handicapped humans to do their dirty work.

For instance, the editors of the New York Times.
Cindy Sheehan
Barbara Streisand
Sandy Berger
Ted Kennedy
Oliver Stone

et cetera

This is a terrible thing and unfortunately I think we will see a lot more of this over this year.

It is also a sign of desperation. AQ is going down and they are just accelerating their decline with these kinds of acts. Iraqi's know who the enemy is now. The US needs to stick to their guns and be patient. The longer that AQ (or the Taliban or Heznoballah, etc.) are out of power the more irrelevant they become because democracy and freedom really does take hold on all peoples over time.

And let's not forget Nezar Hindawi:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nezar_Hindawi

I'm in the midst of reading "Troublesome Young Men". Given world events today, it's downright eerie how history repeats itself. I can understand how, after WWI (the war to end all wars with its attendant carnage), people were loathe to consider the prospect of another. Poland, Czechoslovakia & Austria were tossed like bones to a dog (Nazis)in the hope that the dog would be satisfied. It wasn't - appeasement only emboldened it. And, according to the book, in Britain, the MSM was in collusion with the government and withheld information from the general public. They even had their own version of the NDP - the pacifist Labour Party who refused to sanction rearmament. Does this all sound familiar?

Don't bother mentioning Neville Chamberlin to John. I estimate John to be about 20 years of age, not very well educated (obvious), and steeped in leftard ideology. He probably hasn't even heard of Chamberlin and perhaps WW2 to John is some ferry tale. We right thinkers look at the Johns of the world and hold some hope that with time and maturity they could actually come to realize that leftards live in a world of make believe. I know this. I was once where John is now. Maybe there is still hope for you, John but you are going to have to do some serious critical analysis of self. Good luck with that. Come back when you've grown a bit.

It's absolutely sickening the depths that these fanatics will go. I wonder how Jack Layton and his minions such as Dawn Black will try to rationalize this.

Aside from the sympathizers of these psychopaths, there are those creepy individuals who, for warped reasons, are outraged by this. In the comments section of the linked article, some twit who identifies him/herself as "Tc" shows the sociopathic nature of animal rights activists by asking;

"Did anyone spare a thought for the innocent non-humans slaughtered in this barbaric act? No, I didn't think so."

No doubt one of history's most famous, animal rights activists, Adolf Hitler, would have also been distraght by such 'collateral damage'.

Al Qaeda fanatics plumbed sickening new depths yesterday when they turned two women with Down's syndrome into human bombs...

Sickening yes -- but I'm not surprised ... and we shall know them by their fruit.

jeff k. as long as islam is the religion and sharia the law any country that we help will revert back to the evil that is fostered by islam.

I am beginning to believe that the members of the NDP want to secretly convert to Islam, honestly calling our troops war mongers.

We cannot defeat Islamic Radical vermin with appeasement, because that's what we are doing in Afghanistan. Bomb the crap out of the enemy, enough with this hearts and mind crap. If we want to win we must harden our hearts to the cruelty we will inflict. Radical Islamist don't care how they achieve victory, using women and children and the mentally ill is part of their culture. When they run out of innocents to strap bombs on, some of the mad Mullas and Imams might ACTUALLY have to die for the cause they send others to fight and die for.

Islamic Terrorist are cowards, utter cowards. They use women and children as bombs because they aren't willing to die for Allah. Cowards.

It is also very telling that the cbc does not consider this newsworthy. They have one story on it and you have to read 5 or 6 paragraphs before it is mentioned that the suicide bombers were actually innocent victims themselves. I suppose that they do not want to stir up any anti-islam feelings in Canada because that would lead to support for our troops and the conservatives.

They were not suicide bombers. There were murdered bombers.

Why are the Islamic extremists stirred into indignation over the print of cartoons, and not reacting to the killing of 73 innocent people in the market place, not to mention the cowardly abuse of the Down's syndrom women?

Maybe the trolls know the answer to that.
Or Moore.

I think John had a point. For Kate to suggest that Moore would approve of mentally handicapped women being strapped with bombs and detonated... I mean, I get that a little name calling and taunting is to be expected. But really? Saying he supports the murder of 162 odd innocent Iraqis? Really?

Why does Kate's mind turn to Michael Moore anyway? I mean, of all the people that have brought us to this point, where this kind of thing is happening so frequently, and in the face of this immediate tragedy, Kate's first instinct is to use this as an opportunity to trash someone she doesn't like.

It's beneath all of you. Or so I like to believe.

Actually Michael Moore isn't worth discussing.

Hey Arthur, Moore has stated he supports the insurgency. Tactics like this are what they do and Moore knows it. How can he not therefore be supportive of this act? I am sure he would attempt to come up with some weasel words to try to squirm out of this logical conundrum, but I won't buy it.

for fear of sounding politically incorrect in so many ways...kill 'em all and let allah sort it out

Apostasy in Islam is punished by death. I wonder if Canadians have a right to ask Islam functionaries (imams etc..) to renounce this death threat as not compatible with Canadian law ?
