  1. Thanks Rex.
    We shouldn’t be fooled into thinking this was the act of one sick bastard, that he thought this one up on his own rather than following the ISIS doctrine to kill and terrorize at the heart of the nation, in our streets or anywhere we live, travel, work in freedom and peace.
    The world has the power to strike down this evil at it’s core, what are we waiting for, Iran to get nuclear power?

  2. Spot on, Rex.
    Excellent also that you refused to name the bipedal vermin.
    Let him rot in anonymity.

  3. Rex, one of the few parts of the CBC worthy of the billion plus a year. These are programmed monsters,with many more to come.

  5. The west has not submitted to Islam. The western leaders are exploiting Islamic savagery (by importing millions of Muslims) in order to impose totalitarian police states.
    In Canada, the feds are now sitting down to change the Canadian criminal code to allow cops to pre-emptivly arrest folk “…not only to prevent terrorism, but to prevent any crime.”

  6. Mr. Murphy’s piece and his article this morning in the National Post both defintely prove that he is the only employee of the CBC worth keeping on the payroll. He is eloquent, factual, precise and well worth a read/listen at any time.
    Thank you Mr. Murphy.

  7. Sure. They are not only good enough managers to pull that off, they are even good enough to contrive the appearance, so widely, thoroughly, and consistently presented that they aren’t that good, to throw off suspicion of there being such a grand conspiracy.

  8. I was quoting Peter McKay, in an interview he gave yesterday.
    So, the fact that Peter McKay, Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada said that the government is now going to give LEO’s tools to allow them to pre-emptivly arrest folk “…not only to prevent terrorism, but to prevent any crime.”, and the fact he did this just after an Islamic attack is coincidence?
    The UK government made a similar statement just a couple weeks ago, too.
    So, it is an established fact that governments are:
    1. Importing Muslims by the boatload.
    2. Using Muslim savagery to impose police-state laws.
    Clearly, critical thinking isn’t your strong suit.

  9. Yes, I think that is what Obama is wanting. Remember, most Muslims approve of this act and most Muslims want Iran to have the Nuclear bomb.

  10. Well said Rex.
    Most of our politicians and media are too infused with the false dream of multiculturalism to say what this act of murder was, and that being Islamic terrorism. They prefer to close their eyes and minds and call him a lone wolf that was deranged.
    All of ISIL, similar Islamic terrorists, and those who support, either openly or quietly, these types of acts such as the beheadings of eight year old Christian girls, enslaving thousands of young women as sex slaves, killing all the men, and having soldier prisoners dig their own graves and then gunning them down, are deranged.
    Politicians like Justin Trudeau are committing a crime against their fellow citizens by deliberately choosing to ignore the threat to us and our society. He not only is ignoring the threat but is openly flirting with and pandering to it.

  11. Once again OK has succinctly and efficiently put into words that which we in civilized society could only mumble with our mouths full of falafel. Thank you OK.

  12. Way behind you on imagination, too. However, few immigrants, muslim or otherwise, arrive by boat. It’s the age of air travel. And it’s an established fact that what politicians say they will do is often thwarted by political opposition, popular opinion, constitutional law, courts, etc. So far they are leaving you freedom of speech, so carry on prophesying and enjoy yourself with it. It’ll give me practise at thinking critically about your thinking.

  13. I’m glad Rex decided to focus on the fact that those in armed service are duty bound to sacrifice – the two cannot be separated – in this case one scarificed his life for the honor of fallen comrades while the other sacrificed his human compassion to kill so others can live. Both are examples of the sacrifice we honor in our armed guardians.
    It is not the time to dredge up politics in this period of loss and reflection. All I can say for the factions who use this sacrifice as a political wedge is that they lack the compassion and empathy with these men to have any say over the policies which they adhere to and enforce.

  14. “…bottomless cowardice and perversion…” certainly describes the death cult of islam.
    “…hateful brute…” describes typical muslim slave of allah.
    “…master counter-example…” describes a free man who is allowed to possess the tools and is given the freedom of action to defend himself, his family and his country from these savages.
    It seems that the leftist media is coming around to the idea that islam in the world is a really bad idea, but they still can’t discuss it directly. They need to talk about it in code. Give them time and a few more innocent lives.

  15. Thank you Rex. It makes one feel so proud to be Canadian when you see how so many reacted to these two attacks on our military. It also makes one so sick of the constant whining, and protesting that never seems to end in a country where so many take full advantage of our hospitality, benevolence and willingness to accommodate.

  16. Mr. Murphy’s piece got me to thinking: our head of state in Canada is supposed to be the Governor General. Has anyone seen him since this happened with any comment? Can 9/10 Canadians even name him?
    After Michaelle Jeanne’s surprisingly effective job, this current guy is a dud. Maybe we need to draft Rex for the next G.G.

  17. More on the media and it’s refusal to mention islam etc, lead news story here in bc about a second “mosque” being vandalized and receiving threats.
    In keeping with practise, should they not be referring to “mosque” as “religious institution” or “place of worship”? Are they not concerned that they will inflame the “hordes” of angry white people that they have been waiting for since 9/11? I will never forget the images of Chretien at the time praying at a mosque to show solidarity with them or the press conference after the Toronto 18 were arrested in which the Toronto chief of police attended a meeting with local muslim officials for the purpose of assuring them that they will be protected when the “non-muslims” retaliate. I don’t know what angers me most, the attacks or the rush to the microphones by the dhimmis to proclaim islam as the religion of peace.

  18. Whoa that takes me back… remembering what “angry” felt like. Backlash-fearing muslims, PC cops, preening libleft journos.. there’s not much left besides the most hackneyed cliches.

  19. turtle “our head of state in Canada is supposed to be the Governor General.”
    Actually it’s the Queen.

  20. Well said, REX MURPHY, I Joe Molnar, a nominal Christian……. THANK YOU for your eloquence here on SDA blog regarding our two fellow Canadian human beings, linked (sadly) FOREVER in CANADIAN HISTORY!

  21. There is one fundamental difference between Christianity and Islam and that is the view of ‘sin nature’. In Christianity we believe that every human being is born with a fallen nature. As Jesus said, “There is no one good but God”. This sin nature explains all the failures of mankind and how every ‘Garden of Eden’ we invent will eventually turn into a sewer of our own devices.
    Islam and its kindred spirits believe that we are born good. We by right of birth are bound for heaven (If Allah wills) and that the evil we see in the world comes entirely from others. Thus a Muslim male will blame a good looking woman for his lust rather than accept that he is capable of having lustful thoughts towards a doorknob if that is his bent.
    Thus a Christian will tend to internalize his transgressions and seek to better himself through hard work and perseverance. A Muslim will externalize his transgressions and take up arms to stop those external forces from polluting his spirit.
    Funnily enough (because they all come from the same demonic host) Islam, Nazism, Communism, Socialism, Secular Humanism share the view that humanity is born good it just needs a bit of tweaking ie. getting rid of sources of evil like poverty.

  22. Joe: your last 3 paragraphs intrigue me. Do you know this for a fact that Islam sees us as born good, as opposed to the Christian view that we are born fallen? I’d like to read more about that if I could. If true, man, does that explain a lot about progressives and Muslims.

  23. I couldn’t agree more with some of the commentators here about the value of Rex Murphy and thankfully due to blogs like this I don’t have to watch CBC to glean the twenty to thirty minutes of intelligent thought that they broadcast every week. In the same vein I thoroughly enjoy reading the comments from the liberal trolls that show up here, from time to time, and on other blogs as their little heads implode. I can’t wait until next week after we pay our respects to the two latest victims of terrorism and we begin to dissect the two attacks. It will prove interesting to see more heads implode when some liberals and democrats realize that their leaders cannot recognize a threat to Canada when it happens on our doorstep. Thankfully the Sgt.-at-Arms and the Parliamentary Security Detail immediately recognized it as such and acted accordingly. The PM’s safety was secured and the terrorist was dispatched. This happened in a period of minutes, and hours later the “Heir Head” announced that he will wait until he hears from the experts before he will make a decision about calling this ‘incident’ a terrorist attack. Hopefully as their heads implode some intelligence will rush in to fill the void and some will eventually realize that for most of their lives they have been backing the wrong horse.

  24. The Qur’an includes a version of the biblical story of the fall of Adam (Qur’an 7), but it does not conclude from it the doctrine of original sin as some Christian theologians have.
    In the Quranic version of the story, Adam and Eve begged God’s forgiveness (7:23) and he punished them with a mortal life on earth but added, “from it [earth] you will be taken out at last” (7:25).
    Since Allah forgave the sins of the first pair, Muslims believe, all are born in Al-Fitra, a natural state of submission to Allah. {2} True repentance from sin returns a person to this original sinless state.
    According to Muslim theology, mankind’s chief failing is pride and rebellion. In their pride, humans attempt to partner themselves with God and thereby damage the unity of God. Thus pride is Islam’s cardinal sin. The cardinal virtue, then, is submission, or islam.

  25. Rex nails it again, well said. Andrew Coyne’s comments are equally valid.
    I do not think it requires a great imagination to realize how much worse the attack on Parliament could have been — had it been better planned, had its perpetrator been better trained, had there been more of them. In the same mind-blowing vein, it is entirely possible logically for both explanations to apply: mentally unstable individuals, demonstrably under the sway of Islamic extremism — not vague, unfalsifiable influences like “the culture,” of the sort so often used to endow a genuinely random event with spurious significance, but specific instructions (“kill the unbeliever”), issuing from a perceived authority and embedded in a justifying ideology. No, they were not trained ISIS operatives. But that hardly means these were not acts of terrorism.
    The best way to look at the past week is as a trial run, a dress rehearsal for the real thing. We got off relatively lightly this time. We may not be so lucky the next. That calls for clear thinking, not pat suppositions or self-serving told-you-sos.

  26. Modern Islam shares uncanny similarities with Nazism, and I will always detest Nazis, even the moderate ones (and there were many). For they should have stopped Hitler’s escapades with high velocity, close-range bullets.
    In short, these were:
    The primacy of the “nation” against the aspirations of the individual. The notion of collective guilt by association (which we agreed to accept from them, and use right back against them in WWII). The sense that there is no such thing as an individual…
    “What is the individual? The individual must be the nation. The needs of the individual must be balanced against the needs of the nation. If the individual must die that the nation may be saved, so be it…” Hitler, after 6th Army’s surrender at Stalingrad. (apologies if I am quoting it poorly).
    The concept of extraterritorial sovereignty, i.e. countries that contained German-speaking citizens, were Germany’s business. Hitler set about guaranteeing the human rights of German-speakers who were beyond his borders. Sound familiar?
    The concept of a “Herrenvolk”, and their destiny to rule mankind, due to their inherent supremacy.
    So, remind me again, why is it OK for someone to walk around in a Western nation in explicit Islamic uniform, but not in the Waffen SS uniform? Also, I think it’s high time worldwide for Islam to stop the honour killings of its women, and start the honour killings of its scumbag jihadis. These scum bring their cultural system into far more global disrepute than having their daughters date white guys…
    Wilders, LePen, Liga Nord, Golden Dawn. If Islam doesn’t clean up its act quickly, and cease to be the hometown of global sadism and thuggery, there will soon be far less savoury options on the table for them. At some point, the hard right in Europe will seize power, at the current rate of terror attacks in the West. Then it’s time to get the popcorn, and sit back for the show. Glad I’m not a European mohammedan.

  27. A Muslim will externalize his transgressions and take up arms to stop those external forces from polluting his spirit.
    That also accurately describes the lieberal-prog attitude of blaming everything but themselves for their ‘transgressions’ and rejecting personal responsibility for their actions. It’s the basis of the attitude:
    “______s make good people do bad things, therefore we must ban ______s”
    That attitude is the basis of lieberal-prog social beliefs.
    Blaming others vs taking personal responsibility is the fundamental difference between lieberals and conservatives.

  28. As bbss said, “The primacy of the “nation” against the aspirations of the individual” was the Nazi theme. but also holds to a certain extent for Germany of today. To a certain extent Sweden holds to this view and I suspect the EU as well. This is also a ‘liberal’ regressive mindset to have a subservient populous rather than a strong patriotic nation of individuals For some reason they either turn a blind eye to muslim colonization that is diametrically opposed to their world view or they are that naive.

  29. In a sad, perverse way, it is a blessing in disguise that this happened on Parliament Hill.
    There were no parliamentary arseholes puckering when the soldier was murdered in St Jaen Sur Richelieu…but you can damned well bet there are now.
    Nothing – and I mean nothing – will get straightened out in this country until they start quivering in Westmount, Rockliffe Park, Bridle Path, and Point Grey.

  30. I sat through the CBC’s absolutely mindless drivel that night just to watch Rex – the discussion between peter mansbridge and associates was unbelievable. No-one has asked the question that is on everyone’s mind – what is it about Islam that drives people to do this? We never see Lutherns or Mormons doing similar things in the name of their religion.
    And how did he get a rifle when he was living in a homeless shelter? Or a car?
    When/where was he introduced to Islam? Was it in one of his all-to-short stays in prison?
    The world wants to know…

  31. To amplify an earlier point, I would say that Islam views Christianity as false religion mainly because our faith encourages us to identify with the Son who is then celebrated as part of an inseparable divine trinity. This is a duality for us because at the same time we are to recognize our fallen original state but note that in evangelical theology (that which irks the Muslim theologian the most, as well as the leftist) the human spirit can be perfected through the greater unity achieved in salvation through grace. In other words, what the world calls “being born again” which seems like nonsense to both Islam and the left, you are born the way you are and for Islam, to have a chance of redemption you must see yourself as a servant of the all-powerful Allah, whereas for leftists it is the all-powerful academic orthodoxy which, on a lucky day for them, is also the state.
    This is why they both hate evangelicals more than any other target group and why they hated Boosh who identified his faith that way and hinted that he had made trouble in their worlds to give them a chance to consider true redemption. Being a practical man he quickly cleared out of the academic minefield and chose the path of least resistance in the Middle East.
    A slightly wiser version of evangelical faith probably realizes that the uncanny accuracy of Biblical prophecy largely written is very likely a message to us all that we should concentrate on keeping what little we have and inform the unsaved that there is a very unambiguous sunset clause in the offer. And the sun went down on 9-11-2001. See if it isn’t so.

  32. Over the past 13 yrs, I have read and listened to many on the subject of Islam:
    Ayan Hirsi Ali
    Salmond Rushdie
    Brigette Gabriel
    Geert Wilders
    Sam Harris
    Ben Shapiro
    Mark Steyn
    Robert Spencer
    Pat Condell
    Bill Mahr(suprise..suprise!)
    …and my 90 year old dad who suffered greatly while a slave labourer in the 2nd world war.
    They all share for the most part identical views on Islam.
    That it is a virulent misogynistic. brutal mindset bent on world domination via any means possible.
    To say or blind ones self on purpose a la the progressive left is self isolation in my opinion.
    It is Jihad embodied in Islam’s writings – a duty of all muslims..and acted out in hundreds of different ways. We in the west walk around with eyes WIDE shut while we witness stealth jihad on a daily basis…nibbling away and utilizing the very things our country had gone to war for many times. (Multicult, PC, “diversity”, and all the rest of the lefts Lunacy)…if left unchecked, it will truly be the end of Western Judeo-Christian based culture.
    In this ear..the real enemy is the LEFT..with Islam a damned close 2nd.
    Cheers,
    Stk

  33. It’s also interesting to note the backgrounds of those who introduced us to Christianity and Islam.
    Son of a carpenter, therefore raised to be a carpenter. One who serves others, and must build according to the desires of others. One who takes a place of guilt and accepts punishment when he has broken no laws.
    General and bandit. One who takes by force from those who are weaker. One who learns from his defeats, and comes back when stronger to erase the memory of the loss. One who breaks the rules when it will lead him to victory.
    at first glance, we know which should be stronger. Look a little deeper to find who would produce stability and a civilization. Those who live by the sword will die by the sword

  34. Vic, you and Peter O’Donnell also make excellent points to this thread. I am glad I came to have another look.
    Socialism, such as in Europe and building here in NA, can only thrive in a subservient people.
    Radical Muslims and the left (with a sprinkling of the atheistic right) hate evangelicals because they, even though made of clay like all and often fail, attempt to live a better life that revolves around love for God and fellow man.

  35. I’m not sure this is exactly the right place to put this but I going to put it here anyways. I mentioned earlier “the demonic host”. Now I know that demonic falls into the spiritual realm and few people even believe it exists but I can say with certainty that it does and that one of the symptoms of the demonic is sayings such as ‘why are you picking on me’ or ‘why can’t you just accept me’. I had read about it a long time ago and kind of sniffed at it. Then one day a couple of young Mormon men came knocking at my door. I began to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with them and one of them plaintively asked “why are you picking on me?” Since then I have that question asked by Muslims, secular humanists, JWs and a few others. You can hear the same plea coming over the media and of course most of the media being on the same side spiritually will re-emphasis what their spiritual father said through the Muslim.

  36. I’m areligious…but c_miner…that was an excellent analogy!
    So true in its simplicity: Islam..the great destructor…Christianity and mosot other real religions….
    Constructive.
    Yep
    That pretty much sums it up! (might use that..somewhere/sometime)
    Cheers
    Stk

  37. This may be too significant to bury near the end of a nearly exhausted thread. Some moderator of this forum might want to check this out and take it to a fresh discussion …
    As you may have heard, Zero-Bidet (one of my names for him) was reintroduced to Islam while living in the Vancouver area. The official story on that is that he was very militant, abrasive and got shown the door several times at the Burnaby mosque (not too far from where I am writing this). Be that as it may, the local Global news ran an interview with an imam from said mosque, and as I recall (somewhat paraphrased) he said that the Ottawa shooter complained at some point during the interaction that he was being harassed by demons. While neither the imam nor the interviewer picked up on the point, the logic of the statement was that his Islamic re-conversion was experienced as demonic possession.
    One might wish to acquire the tape of this interview and see if that isn’t the case. Nobody seemed to pick up the irony of that and of course the media being what they are nowadays, the blame-shifting tale was not seriously questioned. People generally seem to want to believe in the concept of the “moderate Muslim majority” and perhaps they want to believe it themselves. You have to ask, in raw spiritual terms, what is really the case?
    But it’s out there, should anyone wish to investigate further. Doing so without tripping all over legal barbed wire might be a difficult task.

  38. If you are a Christian, you know Evil exists. Jesus made more mention of Hell and the Devil than can be found in the entire Old Testament. The Devil was afoot in Ottawa and elsewhere in the world. Remember that the Devil’s cleverest ruse is to persuade you that he doesn’t exist.

  39. Peter, there are a lot of news articles that refer to this:
    ” ‘Dave Bathurst, who said he met 32-year-old Zehaf-Bibeau in a mosque about three years ago, said his friend did not at first appear to have extremist views or inclinations towards violence, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation reported. But he said at times he exhibited a disturbing side.
    ‘We were having a conversation in a kitchen, and I don’t know how he worded it: He said the devil is after him,’ Mr Bathurst told the CBC.
    His friend frequently talked about the presence of Shaytan in the world — an Arabic term for devils and demons. ‘I think he must have been mentally ill.’ ”

  40. The presence of demons is not mental illness and unfortunately the mother in this case is too spiritually ignorant to know how to help her son.
    I met a former Muslim who told of a terrifying recurring dream he had. In the dream he was being chased by ‘evil’ and he was running as fast as he could. In his dream he would get so far and then run into a wall that he could not get past. He would stand at the wall as the evil got closer and then he would hear a voice saying, “I AM the way the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except by Me”. Then he would wake up terrified. After a few nights of this he was in a panic and rushed into a nearby church asking for their dream interpreter. One of the pastors listened to his story and explained the Voice to him. The young man became a Christian and has never had the dream again.
    Unfortunately Islam is demonic in origin and the followers of Islam leave themselves open to demonic oppression.
