EEK! Those nasty, totalitarian Catholics are at it again. No doubt emboldened by a mean, nasty, evil Tory government (who plan to destroy health care, rip the country apart, force women to get pregnant so they can deny them abortions, yaddayaddayadda), the Catholic group Genocide Awareness Project has set up a graphic display at St. Michael Catholic secondary school in Stratford, Ontario. The display leaves no room for doubt that abortion is the killing of an innocent human being and puts it in exactly the context that it belongs in, which is the last thing that the anti-infant bragade ever wants anyone seeing.

Included with pictures of aborted babies were other images of death, including a lynching and the Nazi Holocaust during which six million Jewish people were slaughtered.

The display, belonging to an anti-abortion group called the Genocide Awareness Project (GAP), was set up near the building’s main entrance yesterday. It was part of “pro-life events week” at the school.

Naturally, the pro-infanticide crowd are busily making fudge in their collective Stanfields over all this. Look for lawsuits, rent-a-crowds and all the other usual tactics to be pulled out of the coat hanger crowd’s tickle trunk in the next few days. Look for a Charter challenge too, no doubt. Never mind that the Charter says NOTHING about the supposed “right” to slaughter the unborn but lists “freedom of conscience and religion” before anything else (even with all its flaws, the Charter managed to get at least one thing right)! That’s just a pesky little detail that the coat hanger commandos would rather you not bother yourself with.

The teachings and position of the Catholic Church on the subject of abortion are both clear and well known: it’s murder and it’s a sin. Period. And no amount of browbeating by the schreeching hoardes is ever going to change that.

Many say that the battle is already over, because abortions have been happening for decades. Nothing is over.

Many more say that this is a divisive issue that should “be allowed to just go away so we can get on with more important things.” Well, here’s a surprise: I actually agree with that statement. This is a divisive issue and we do have other important things that need to be done.

So ban abortion and let’s get on to them.

THAT is how it will go away. That, and no other way. Because we will NEVER give up.

I didn’t catch it at the time (better late than never, I guess) but last Saturday, the National Post published an article by George Jonas in which, among other things, he comes right out and gives voice so several facts that must be on a lot of minds these days:

Why do some Muslims have such an uncanny talent for proving the case of their critics? When accused of violence, they threaten violence. Better still, they engage in it. “Call us unruly and we riot,” they say, in essence. “Call us murderers, and we kill you.” Don’t they see that this makes them a joke?

Well, no, they don’t — and they’re right. Saying such things may make someone a joke in a debating society, but Islamofascists fight in a different arena. They don’t care about winning the debate; what they want to win is their Kampf, better known these days as Jihad.

Lo and behold, they’re winning it. By now the whole world tiptoes around the sensibilities of medieval fanatics. We take pains not to offend ululating fossils who cheer suicide bombers. Or raise them. We prop up rickety regimes whose sole contribution to modern times is to nurture ancient grievances and revive barbaric customs. We worry about the feelings — feelings! — of people who stone their loved ones for sexual missteps. We pussyfoot to protect the delicate psyche of oily ogres who amputate the hands of petty thieves, issue fatwas on novelists and cover up their hapless wives and sisters to the eyeballs.

The full article is here and it’s a definite must-read for anyone harbouring any delusions about being able to “negotiate” or “find common ground” with the Islamofascists of the world.

The original story appeared in the Ottawa Citizen. Several blogs have already put this one out there, all being very careful to say that there is nothing in the article to indicate that the individuals involved are Muslims but seriously, look at the names. It doesn’t require any huge leap of logic.

Either way, Muslim or not, this does not bode well for the direction this country is heading in:

The brutal shooting death of a 20-year-old Ottawa woman and the wounding of her fiance early Tuesday morning provided one more shock yesterday: the suspect is the bride-to-be’s brother.

Police said yesterday they are on the hunt for 20-year-old Hasibullah Sadiqi of Ottawa in connection with the death of his sister, identified by her fiance’s family as Khatera Sadiqi, and the wounding of the fiance, Feroz Mangal, 23.

The full article can be found here.

UPDATE: More of the disturbing details of this case have been posted by Steve over at Angry In the Great White North:

A young Muslim woman was murdered by her brother in Ottawa. He was upset about her engagement. An honour killing? Very possibly, especially when you dig a bit deeper into the background of this particular community.

Complete post here. Just who (and, more importantly, WHAT?) are we allowing into our country these days?

Just a quick something that I’ve been wondering about here… The cartoon below was drawn by Muslim cartoonist Emad Hajjaj, for the Al-Ghad Newspaper in Amman, Jordan. So, can anybody tell me: how long it will be before the Jordanians start rioting like chimps, burning stuff down, and threatening this Muslim cartoonist’s life for depicting the prophet Mohammed in a cartoon? Just wondering.

Whilst poking around over at Daimnation today, I stumbled across the audio of the Steve Madely interview of Ottawa Imam Gamal Solaiman who was once quoted as saying:

“It’s very upsetting the way people allow the voices of a few Muslims speak for all of us,”

Well, Gamal gets the chance to speak for himself this time, and I don’t like what I’m hearing. Neither will you, I suspect. It’s some creepy, apologist shit, boys and girls. He makes one thing after another for the Islamofascist crap happening anywhere in the world, topping it off with a refusal to believe Osama bin Hidin was behind 9/11! This asshole has a “but” for everything. I’m not making this up.

Parts 1 and 2 of the interview are below:

part 2

The cries of outrage have been coming from all the predictable quarters and suspects. Multicultists, Islamofascist apologists, and a host of others have called the Pope’s remarks during a lecture at Regensburg everything from “intolerant” to “bigoted” to “a prelude to a new Crusade” to God knows what else.

Only one thing seems to have escaped their notice: His Holiness is right. Benedict has always stated he is against any use of violence in the name of religion, so why should Islam be immune to scrutiny? As William Rees-Mogg points out in the Times:

Benedict did give offence — but no great religion should be immune from difficult questions.

This is true of any faith, whether it be Christian, Muslim, Jewish, or any one of the host of others. But where criticism of Christianity is outright celebrated in some quarters, any critique of Islam, no matter how minor or legitimate, is instantly labeled as proof of Western, racist, Islamophobic, etc, etc, etc, ad nauseum.

This double standard is getting very, very old. And, it’s bullshit to begin with. As one writer points out:

But also like the Danish cartoon scandal, the real reason for the supposed worldwide Muslim “anger” isn’t the perceived slight to Islam. Rather, Muslim leaders have malevolently distorted Benedict XVI’s words and intentions, speaking of blasphemy and slander, as they see in the Pope’s comments a ready-made opportunity to subordinate Christendom’s highest and most important representative to Muslim demands. In other words, they want to turn him into a “dhimmi,” a person of another religion in an Islamic country who holds a second-class existence. Such Muslim leaders had a trial run with Denmark nine months ago, intimidating that small European country and showing the precariousness of liberal freedom in Europe, which has probably emboldened them now to go after bigger game.

Which begs the question: after Salmon Rushdie, Denmark, and Pope Benedict XVI, who is next?
