That gay marriage law passed by the liberal-left before they were defeated should really help that whole Islamofascist terrorist war against the west including Canada, thing.
Gosh I’m sure glad the liberals had such a steely-eyed focus on protecting Canada and its families on such a fundamental level and were so on the ball during their reign of power.
Treason shmeason.
Secret reports warn of Canadian extremists
Stewart Bell and Adrian Humphreys, National Post
Published: Thursday, May 04, 2006TORONTO – Secret Canadian intelligence documents written in the aftermath of last summer’s suicide bombings in London warn that Canada has its own cadre of “homegrown” Islamic extremists.
Just as the four bombers who killed 52 commuters last July 7 were British, Canada is home to militants who are angry about the “oppression” of Muslims and support terrorism, the reports say.
“The attacks in London highlight the threat of ‘homegrown’ extremism. Canada is home to Islamic extremists, both homegrown and immigrant,” says one of the reports by the Integrated Threat Assessment Centre (ITAC).
“A small number of extremists in Canada advocate violent jihad in pursuit of their political and religious aims. The reasons for radicalization are varied, and include a general sense of anger at what is seen as oppression of Muslims throughout the world [and] parental influence.”
The reports are part of a flurry of intelligence documents circulated by Ottawa in the weeks after the London bombings. Declassified versions were obtained by the National Post under the Access to Information Act.
[…] The documents also support recent claims by U.S. counterterrorism officials that extremists are operating inside Canada’s borders. The presence of Islamic terrorists in Canada was noted two weeks ago, when the U.S. Department of Justice announced the arrests of two Georgia youths.
[…] Similar concerns surfaced last Friday, when the U.S. State Department released its annual report on global terrorism, which said, “Terrorists have capitalized on liberal Canadian immigration and asylum policies to enjoy safe haven, raise funds, arrange logistical support and plan terrorist attacks.”
Yesterday, Public Safety Minister Stockwell Day responded to the report for the first time, saying it concerned the period when the Liberals were in office and “when relations with the United States were strained and less than productive.”
He said the Conservatives were taking terrorism more seriously and had allotted an extra $1.4-billion for security in the budget, outlawed the Tamil Tigers and forged “a new spirit of collaboration” with the U.S. on fighting terror.
[…] “This government does not tolerate security breaches and will restore our reputation as a leader and dependable partner in defending freedom and democracy in the world,” a statement from Mr. Day’s office said. “This new government is clearly determined to take decisive steps to ensure the safety of Canadians against terrorism.”
The post-London intelligence reports claim that Canada remains a potential target in the eyes of the al-Qaeda leadership and their followers. “Canada has been named on at least three occasions, most recently in July 2005, by al-Qaeda or its affiliates and is viewed as a legitimate target,” the ITAC report says.
Notes another of the reports, “on Nov. 12, 2002, Osama bin Laden specifically named Canada as a nation that he believed extremists should attack due to its participation in the fighting in Afghanistan.”
