Thanks To Harper For Taking Islamofascism Fucking Seriously

[Corp. Taxes Suck]

As Islamofascists kill soldiers in Canada, the idiotic leader of the NDP thinks pipelines that have killed anyone are the greatest threat to our fucking existence. ac_rollseyes

I reject the assertions of NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair's recent op-ed in the National Post. As Bill C-51, the Anti-Terrorism Act, 2015, passes second reading in the House of Commons, I wish to provide a reality check to Mr. Mulcair's continued opposition to these crucial anti-terrorism measures.



The world has been shocked by recent atrocities perpetuated by jihadi terrorists. We have witnessed outrageous acts of violence by extremists who attack those that don't share their narrow and oppressive ideologies. As a result, acts of terror have been carried out across Western nations, most recently in France, Belgium, Australia, Denmark and here at home in Canada. Today, we are part of a global struggle against brutal extremism, including in the fight against ISIL. Mr. Mulcair has proposed that we ignore this fact by voting against the Anti-Terrorism Act.



On many occasions, the excellent work of our national security agencies and police forces has foiled attempts to terrorize Canadians. Recent attacks in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu and on Parliament Hill in our nation's capital have revealed that terrorism is evolving. Our government introduced the Anti-Terrorism Act to keep up with the ever-changing terror tactics which confront us.



Mr. Mulcair says that "Canada already has strong laws that make it an offense to incite a terrorist act," however, it is currently not a criminal offence to advocate or promote terrorism. The ability to arrest someone who is, in general terms, advocating or promoting the activity of terrorism does not exist. The current threshold for arrest in the Criminal Code is specific to someone who "knowingly instructs, directly or indirectly, any person to carry out a terrorist activity." Our amendment would fill this gap by making it a crime for a person to knowingly promote or advocate the commission of terrorism offences in general.



Mr. Mulcair has also misconstrued the disruption measures in this bill, stating that they could affect lawful protesters. This is false. Shamefully, Mr. Mulcair is misleading Canadians by wrongfully applying the threshold for information-sharing to the threshold for disrupting a terror threat. In doing so, he is attempting to insinuate that this bill would broaden the definition of "security threats" to include activities that interfere with Canada's infrastructure and economic stability. Bill C-51's disruption provisions do not target "lawful advocacy, protest, dissent and artistic expression."



The government's focus is on serious threats to the security of Canada, such as espionage, sabotage and foreign-influenced clandestine operations, as already outlined in the CSIS Act. Our security agencies are interested only in those who pose a serious threat to Canada's security.



Both Liberal leader Justin Trudeau and Mr. Mulcair have wrongly stated that the new powers granted to national security agencies tasked with protecting Canadians are not subject to proper oversight. They would rather see Canada's national security oversight put in the hands of politicians; however, the best way to protect the fundamental freedoms of Canadians is to rely on our independent judiciary. Such oversight is further strengthened by the Security Intelligence Review Committee (SIRC), which provides independent, expert, third-party advice regarding compliance with the law.



Included in the Anti-Terrorism Act are other concrete measures to assist our security agencies, including: facilitating the sharing of information; pre-emptive measures to detain an individual who has demonstrated a degree of dangerous behavior; and removing material likely to radicalize or recruit terrorists. These measures also require judicial oversight and are similar to those found in major allied states.



As I've said before, the first priority of government is to protect its citizens and this legislation is designed to do exactly that. It is a measured response to the very real dangers we face today.



While Mr. Trudeau and Mr. Mulcair prefer to sit on the sidelines, our government will take action to ensure the security and freedom of all Canadians. Freedom and security go hand in hand, and we stand for both.

Islam should be treated as a hate crime and stigmatized the same way that racism, homophobia and misogyny are. It combines all three into one mixture of hate.

Islam beheads three men in Northern Iraq. Two for being gay and one for blasphemy.

Chilling new images have emerged of three men accused of homosexuality and blasphemy being forced to their knees and publicly beheaded by a sword-wielding Islamic State executioner.



Photographs of the barbaric murders show the blindfolded men kneeling in the centre of what appears to be a traffic roundabout with a crowd of people looking on as a masked executioner stands by with a long, rusty blade.



After an elderly man uses a microphone to read to the crowd from his notes, the executioner then steps forward with the blade poised above the men's heads in the unnamed city in northern Iraq.
