Canadian Imam Praises Suicide Bombing
TV channel TVO broadcasted a debate between my (and yours) good friend Tarek Fatah and a number of pro-jihadist, pro-Sharia jackoffs including Aly Hindy. Aly Hindy is the imam of the Salaheddin Islamic Centre in Toronto and was also the spiritual leader of the Toronto 18 terrorist cell and is a close friend of Canada’s al-Qaeda family the Khadrs.
In this video titled The Meaning of Jihad (#) Aly Hindy praises suicide bombers. It comes up towards the end but the entire thing is worth watching as it provides an insight into how these assholes think: […]
A couple of sources are telling me that some news media entities such as the Toronto Star are refusing to run this story because it isn’t ‘news’. Apparently pro-suicide bomber Imams in Canada are passe.

Honey, I Finished The Internet
Chris writes;
I’m a newer Sask resident and have a site at www.grainelevators.ca and
www.ghosttownscanada.ca. I was wondering if you happen to have any photos that might be good for those sites that you would want to add? …
Especially by chance if you have a photo of a grain elevator in a town we do not have listed already. Hoping that many Sask photographers who have photos might contribute one or 2 or 5 for others to enjoy. And there is the ghost town site too, in case you have ever been to Bents… a great little ghost town.
As they used to look in Delisle. The last one came down a few years ago.
Both sites have plenty to keep you amused for a few hours!

Good evening ladies and gentlemen, welcome to SDA Late Nite Radio. Tonight, for your delectation and pursuant to our Saturday night distinguished lecture, documentary & interview series, here is David Elieser Deutsch, Visiting Professor in the Department of Atomic and Laser Physics at the Center for Quantum Computation, Clarendon Laboratory, University of Oxford, presenting his talk On The Fabric of Reality (2005, 19:46).
In our previous shows in this series, we took a look at physics at the largest scale and at the smallest scale. In tonight’s talk, David takes a look at the relationship between the largest scales and the vast emptiness at those scales, the smallest scales and the non-emptiness at those scales, and our relationship to those scales, as cognitive beings, thus providing us with our turning point from matters metaphysical to matters epistemological, to humans, and to the matter of the inevitability of problems v. the matter of the solving of problems.
One of my favourite parts of this talk is where David says:
“Now, the first of those two things that everyone knows, is kind of saying that we’re at a very untypical place, uniquely suited and so on, and the second one is saying that we’re at a typical place, and especially if you regard these two as deep truths to live by, and to inform your life decisions, then they seem, a little bit, to conflict with each other.
“But that doesn’t prevent them from both being completely false. And they are.”

It’s the same hypocritical language that blows through SDA every day “You losers take potshots at us perfectly centered grey area people, well we say your nothing but knuckle dragging, red neck Nazi’s that want to kill baby’s who don’t smoke pot and have the government pay your way. Just die and go away, so that big brother and John Lennon can tell us how to live because it’s a grey world out there”.
“Perfectly centered grey area people”. That reminds me of someone.

“… Is There Nothing That Obama Can’t Do?
BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States: By the authority vested in me as president — as president by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, in order to effect the appropriate disposition of individuals currently detained by the Department of Defense at Guantanamo and promptly to close the detention facility at Guantanamo, consistent with the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States and the interests of justice, I hereby order.
And we then provide the process whereby Guantanamo will be closed no later than one year from now.
OBAMA (chiseling in marble sound effect): In order to effect the appropriate disposition of individuals currently detained by the Department of Defense at Guantanamo, uh, and promptly to close the detention facility at Guantanamo consistent with the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States and interests of justice, I hereby order. And we then we will then, uh, provide the process whereby Guantanamo will be closed no later than, uh, one year from now. We will be… Uhhh…. Ummm…. Is there a separate executive order, Greg, with respect to how we’re going to dispose of the detainees? Is that it, eh, uh, what we’re doing?
CRAIG: We’ll set up a process!
OBAMA: We will be, uh, setting up a process whereby this is going to be taking place.
There’s more!
OBAMA: What we’re doing here is to set up a special interagency task force on detainee disposition. They are going to provide me with information in terms of how we are able to deal in the disposition of some of the detainees that may be currently in Guantanamo that we cannot transfer to other countries, who could pose a serious danger to the United States, uh, but, uh, we cannot try because of various problems related to evidence, uh, in a Article 3 court. So this task force is going to provide us with, uh, a series of recommendations on, uh, that. Is that correct, Greg?
CRAIG: That’s right. And detainee policy going forward.
OBAMA: And detainee policy going forward so that we don’t find ourselves in these kinds of situations, uh, in the future.
CRAIG: And there is clear guidance for the military as well.
OBAMA: And that we are providing clear guidance to our military in terms of having to do with it.
