Sikhs, Tamils, Armenians and Kurds have been more active in Canada in the past than Muslim extremists. Religion definitely plays a part, but anyone who thinks it's the sole purview of Islam is fooling themselves. Religious and nationalist extremists are dangerous people.
Big Verne, I don't think the Provisional IRA had a single Muslim in its ranks.

BV it would appear you have a lot to learn, and I have neither the time nor the inclination to see you through this curve.

So, you are telling me that said nationalist terrorist movements represent a threat to Canadian national security? Certainly not in the same way Islamic terrorists do. Please refer to 'Bearded Man in Turban' thread, and then try and find a Sikh, Armenian, Kurdish or Tamil extremist figure who has ever advocated world domination. Are they interested in overturning Canadian democracy and instituting Shariah Law? No, only one group of extremists is interested in doing that. By the way, the bearded man in a turban is just one of many. There are plenty of other bearded men with turbans uttering the same 'Islam will dominate the world' nonsense every day. It's probably been said in Canadian mosques many, many times.

I don't care if the bomb that kills me is targeted at me or I just happen to be collateral damage- either way, I'm dead. Counter-terrorism requires communication and cooperation, by your reasoning, Big Verne, Pakistanis shouldn't lift a finger to stop al Qaeda because they're not being targetted. So what if al Qaeda blows up a building in Islamabad? They're just trying to send a message to the West, Pakistanis can safely ignore it (well, except for the collateral damage).

You're so freaking hysterically focused on Islamic extremists you can't see anything else.
Go back to my IRA example- when they were blowing up trains and lobbing mortars around London were you in favour having all Irish removed from England?

When a Muslim firebombs a synagogue- in support not of the Caliphate but in support of Palestinians- I guess that's okay then?

"Oh, you were building that bomb to blow up the Sears Tower in the US? Right then, carry on lads- nothing to do with us here in Canada, so fill your boots!"

I laugh whenever I read about their lawyer insinuating that they are innocent because they are from professional families. Aren't all immigrants to Canada professionals? Besides, if I were a terrorist mastermind, these are exactly the kind of people I'd want involved. For one, they are well educated and reliable. They fly low below the radar. And, more importantly, they can use their family's good reputations to stir up trouble if they get caught.

The Canadian media has shown a remarkable ability for PC self delusion in response to this incident.

The ties that bind 17 suspects?

ANALYSIS | `They represent the broad strata of our community,' the RCMP says.

In investigators' offices, an intricate graph plotting the links between the 17 men and teens charged with being members of a homegrown terrorist cell covers at least one wall. And still, says a source, it is difficult to find a common denominator.

Well, I can think of one very obvious common denominator.

RCMP Assistant Commissioner Mike McDonell said yesterday the suspects are all Canadian residents and the majority are citizens. "They represent the broad strata of our community. Some are students, some are employed, some are unemployed," he said.

...all of them are muslims. Probably an irrelevant fact that though, eh Commissioner?

Imam: Canada Suspects Didn't Seek Violence

The 17 suspects represent a spectrum of Canadian society, from the unemployed to a school bus driver to the college-educated. The 12 adults live in Toronto, Mississauga and Kingston, Ontario.

Once again, they are all from the same religious background and are all motivated by the same ideology which can be found in the Koran and Hadith. But let's ignore this and keep on pretending that this people are from a 'broad strata' of society.

You're out of the loop, BV. Quite clearly they are all Muslim, and there is no one in Canada who is not aware of this fact. That factor is already a given, and it's quite normal for people to be looking for other common factors.

That you see this article as a collective attempt by Canadians to deny that Islamic religious extremism is a key factor is bizarre... but hilarious, so thanks for that.
