And in a related story from Canada's National Post we learn that the plot had international links as well. Arrests have also taken place in the US, Britain, Bosnia, Denmark, Sweden and Bangladesh. Oddly though, the authorities continue to try to avoid naming the obvious. These people, who wanted to obtain more than three times the amount of explosives used in Oklahoma city, were all Muslims motivated by the death cult of radical Islam. Consider the quote below from Luc Portelance who is trying valiently not to name names or to assign blame to any particular "community or ethnic group".
“For various reasons, they appear to have become adherents to a violent ideology inspired by al-Qaida,” said Luc Portelance, the CSIS assistant director of operations.
“Any movement that has the ability to turn people against their fellow citizens is obviously something that CSIS is very concerned about.”
He called the investigation the largest since the Anti-terrorism Act was passed by Parliament in December 2001, in response to the 9/11 attacks in the United States.
“It is important to know that this operation in no way reflects negatively on any specific community, or ethno-cultural group in Canada,” he added.
The reason for this massive attempt to avoid naming the real cause of worldwide terrorism is, of course, political correctness, which holds that as long as we don't name a thing, it won't be real. And the terrorist sympathizers don't hesitate to use this form of relativism against us by mouthing it back to us.
“The police said they are cognizant of the fact that there could be a backlash and that they’ve taken all precautions to ensure that nothing like this happens,” Canadian Muslim Congress spokesman Tarek Fatah said Saturday.
“They are very conscious of the fact that this is a small group of criminals and they don’t reflect the vast Muslim community in Toronto.”
Somehow, I just don't have much patience for this sort of evasion any more. Terrorism purpetrated by a global network of Muslims is the most obvious threat we face today and has been a problem for decades, so why should we not suspect Muslims? It's not as though they have been anxious to distance themselves from the world wide Jihad movement. On the contrary, the official line repeated throughout the West is that all of this is the fault of the West and that it is we, and not radical Islam, that is to blame for the problem. Indeed, it is we in the West who need to apologize to Muslims for thinking that there might be any connection between their creed and their actions.
Despite recent warnings that Canadian-bred terrorists were operating in the country, Fatah said he was still surprised authorities had uncovered a plot in Toronto.
Fatah may be surprised, but then again I don't feel the need to take him at his word.
