Here is what some Canadian writers\nhave written about the growing Islamic Fundamentalism in Canada. This article\ntakes  takes a hard view of Islam. But most Canadina authors  fails\nto realize that the LTTE “refugees” also adopted the same methods in\ncreeping into Canada and having a strong influence on the Canadian Governments.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We don’t care if the Tamils come to Canada by hook or Crook.
But it is their campaign of sustained lies against Sri Lanka that has to be resisted. Sri lanka politicians have hesitated to speak out against Tamil propaganda because thet too want the “minority vote”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Islamic Tipping Point: Does recognizing an extreme predicament make one an \u2018extremist\u2019?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

by Tim Murray<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is it that only \u2018extremists\u2019 seem to be worried about Islam? Why is it that a website that monitors critics of Islam calls itself Loonwatch? Why is expressing apprehension about the growing strength of Islam called loony, xenophobic, racist or far right?

Madeline Weld nails it:

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The refusal of individuals and organizations to address the issue of Islam shows the effectiveness of fear \u2013 the real and justified fear of physical assault and the fear of having one\u2019s reputation smeared by Islamists and their enabling fools. As a result, it is often only the more extreme elements (such as nationalist parties in Europe) who will address the problems caused by Islam, which is then used to bolster assertions that it\u2019s mainly extremists who are concerned about the impact of Islam on our societies.

I don\u2019t know if I am an \u2018extremist\u2019, but I certainly have an extreme fear about the course that recent events have taken. When the leader of the so-called \u2018free world\u2019 can stand before the dictators of the United Nations and say, The future does not belong to those who insult the Prophet of Islam\u201d you know that we are in deep trouble. That was a defining moment of history. As was Obama\u2019s refusal to meet with the Israeli Prime Minister just so he could appear on a TV talk show. And the celebratory response of the left-wing consensus media and the Opposition to the announcement that jihadist murderer Omar Khadar had been allowed back to Canada

The tide has turned. Islam is winning the intellectual jihad. It has now smelled blood. Western civilization and its governing principles are on the run \u2013 thanks in large part to the Left, which spent decades preparing the groundwork for thought control by persuading lawmakers that there exists a fundamental right \u2018not to be offended\u2019 and that the test of \u2018offensive\u2019 language resides in the subjective judgment of the identity group that chooses to take offence. Contemporary discourse is now about how people feel rather than what they think. The content of speech is now less important than the imputed motive or emotion embedded in it. If it is deemed hateful or insulting then it should be proscribed. End of story. How convenient for orthodoxy.

But maybe you prefer to look the other way, or look for hopeful signs that moderate Muslims will prevail and promote a liberal interpretation of Islamic texts. Maybe you follow conventional wisdom, which sees Islam in the same light as other religions, where fundamentalists and literalists contend with modernists. Trouble is, while there may be moderate Muslims, there is no moderate Islam. Islamic text is radical because the more radical passages found in later material abrogate and overwhelm the kinder portions found in earlier material when this religion of peace did not have the numbers to flex its muscle.

As Madeline Weld put it,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

   \nIt is true that there is plenty of gore in the history of other religions.\nChristians may have killed off the Cathars (Kill them all, God will recognize\nhis own\u201d) but the zealots who killed them would be hard pressed to find\nanything in the words of Jesus justifying what they did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[This remark is incorrect because it\nis not possible to just single out was Jesus “said”. Please look at\nthe Acts of the Apostles in the New Testament where infidels are proposed to be\ntreated in much the same was as prescribed in Islam seven centuries later,\nalthough Jesus said “He who is without sin can cast the first stone”.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Jesus went into the Jewish\ntemple and threw out the Priests, money lenders etc., and “cleansed the\nTemple”,  and made a big riot which must have led to violence. Jesus\nwas arrested and crucified within a week or so where the Jews handed him to the\nRoman administrator with charges of sedition.
\nPlease look at the Church Fathers like St. Augustine said. Please lokk at all\nthe religious wars, the behaviour of the Spaniards in Latin America and the\nPortuguese in Asia, Belgians in Africa etc., where they had the Bible in one\nhand and the sword in the other. Modern Christianity became civilized with the\nrise of Science and the Industrial revolution which made trade more important\nthan religion.]<\/p>\n\n\n\n


\nNot so for Islamists slaughtering kafirs! Also, as far as Christians (like\nMuslims, a convert-seeking group) are concerned, and in contrast to the\nsituation in Islam where the more peaceful Mecca Koran is abrogated by the\nbellicose Medina Koran, the Old Testament (OT) is trumped by the New Testament,\nwhich has a lot less slaughter and in which Jesus tells his followers to shake\nthe dust off their feet and leave if people in a given area don\u2019t want to\naccept their preaching. The gory stuff in the OT really pertains to the history\nof the Jews, and Judaism is not a religion that seeks converts. In fact, it\u2019s a\nclub that is really hard to join, unlike Islam, which is a club you\u2019d damn well\nbetter join if you know what\u2019s good for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n


\nMuslims are obliged to accept that the ultimate goal is the establishment of a\nuniversal Caliphate.
\n
\nThere is another thing that Islamo-dupes don\u2019t understand either. The\nsuccessful pursuit of the Islamic agenda is dependent on ethical and tactical\npragmatism. How a Muslim population behaves is conditioned largely by its\ndemographic strength within the community it operates. As one anonymous\ncommentator observed, Islamization begins when there are sufficient Muslims in\na country to agitate for their religious privileges\u201d.
\n
\nJust as Karl Marx enjoined the fledgling and weak communist movement to adopt\nwhat later became known as Popular Front tactics, that is, to soft-pedal its\nultimate objectives, compromise and look to form alliances with other less\nmilitant political formations, Islamicists who find themselves to be relatively\nsmall minorities among infidels are counselled to do likewise. They are told to\ndo what Tariq Ramadan has told Canadian Muslims to do. In so many words: Don\u2019t\nbe pushy. Use the existing laws of the land to advance your interests and\nquietly build strength, all the while pretending that you seek only reasonable\naccommodation and are fully reconciled to pluralism and the separation of\nmosque and state.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

[Colvin, NM and other early Marxists\nin Sri lanka also followed the concept of “by the Bullet if not by the Ballot”\nand spawned the JVP.  These left parties have largely been discredited,\nbut their “intellectuals continue to control<\/p>\n\n\n\n

political\nnarrative in Sri Lanka]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These\ndeceitful tactics, the concealment of malevolent intentions \u2013 taqiyya\u201d \u2013 are\nscripturally mandated. There is an obligation to lie if your goal is\nobligatory. And Muslims are obliged to accept that the ultimate goal is the\nestablishment of a universal Caliphate. As Donald Hudson observed, Taqiyya has\nbeen used by Muslims since the 7th century to confuse and split \u2018the enemy\u2019. A\nfavored tactic was \u2018deceptive triangulation\u2019: to persuade the enemy that jihad\nwas not aimed at them but at another enemy. Another tactic was to deny that\nthere was a jihad at all. The fate for such faulty assessments by the target\nwas death.\u201d [http:\/\/www.danielpipes.org\/comments\/25320]
\n
\nAt what point, then, do Muslims feel confident to push for sharia? When does a\ndiscreet minority become a boldly aggressive lobby group? What is the tipping\npoint\u201d for the Islamic diaspora in liberal democracies? In his book, Slavery,\nTerrorism and Islam: The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat, Dr. Peter\nHammond established a statistical correlation between Muslim and non-Muslim\npopulations on the one hand, and the transition from conciliatory\u201d to\nfascist\u201d Islam on the other. Hammond described the transition as consisting of\nfive stages, the first of which was to establish a beachhead\u201d by achieving a\npopulation level of 2% of the host nation. Until then, Muslims are\nconciliatory, deferential and harmless. But once having reached that threshold,\nthey begin to proselytize disaffected groups until they reach 5% of the\npopulation, when they demand such things as halal food in supermarkets, the\nblocking of streets for prayers, and self-rule within the ghettos they control.\nAs their numbers approach 10% of the general population, their demands turn to\nviolence and vandalism. In short, collectively Muslims behave as chameleons, as\ntheir Holy Text instructs them, shifting gears according to the circumstances\nthey find themselves in. So where exactly is the tipping point? The consensus\nseems to be that it occurs when the Muslim population hits 7-8% of the national\npopulation. That means that, according to somewhat dated and conservative estimates\n<\/p>\n\n\n

[http:\/\/news.bbc.co.uk\/2\/hi\/europe\/4385768.stm]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

, the Netherlands at 5.8% and\nFrance at 8-9.6% are fast approaching or have already reached the Islamic\ntipping point, and that Germany at 3.6%, Austria at 4.1%, and Norway at 3.4%,\nare already halfway there. Norway\u2019s fate is illustrative of the spectacular\nMuslim growth rates that afflict many other countries over relatively short\nperiods of time (eg. 450% since 1990 and about 10% in just one year, 2006-7),\nwith heavy concentrations in a few strategic counties like Oslo (7.5%). The Pew\nResearch Centre pegs the European Muslim population at 6% and forecasts a rise\nof only\u201d 2% over the next 18 years.
\nSo where exactly is the tipping point? The consensus seems to be that it occurs\nwhen the Muslim population hits 7-8% of the national population.

\nMeanwhile, Canada\u2019s Muslim population has skyrocketed from 150,000 in 1990 to\n600,000 in 2011 \u2013 while its Jewish population has remained stable at around\n170,000 throughout those two decades. So while it was once politically possible\nfor former New Democratic Party (NDP) Ontario Premier Bob Rae to leave the NDP\nbecause, as he stated, it had become captive of pro-Palestinian elements, as\ninterim leader of the federal Liberal Party Rae felt obliged to welcome the\nreturn of an unrepentant jihadist and admitted killer Omar Khadr to Canada. For\nevery Jewish voter who would respond positively to a principled defense of\nIsrael and the democratic values it represents, there are now four Muslim\nvoters who would respond negatively. That is now the electoral reality of\ntoday\u2019s Canada.\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is it any wonder then that the\nOpposition NDP and Liberals affect glee at the arrival of Omar Khadr, or that\nthe NDP fielded 19 Muslim candidates in the last federal election, or that\nLiberal Party leadership candidate Justin Trudeau objected to Muslim honour\nkillings being called barbaric? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

[ Omar Ahmed Sayid Khadr is a\nCanadian who at the age of 15 was detained by the United States at Guantanamo\nBay for ten years, during which he pleaded guilty to the murder of U.S. Army\nSergeant 1st Class Christopher Speer and other charges]
\nOr that the NDP and the liberal media would crucify Alberta\u2019s Wild Rose\u201d Party\nfor fielding a candidate who made homophobic\u201d remarks in his church while not\nholding Muslim candidates to the same standard? Or that pro-Palestinian\nstudents are permitted to shout down or force the cancellation of speeches on\ncampus that they disapprove of? The list goes on and on. The point is, a\ncohesive minority can effect an enormous shift in the balance of political\npower. Just ask the French. Ask them who pushed Francois Holland over the top.\nThe French Socialist Party, like social democrats, Labourites and Greens nearly\neverywhere, have become the party of Islam. The party of the outsider\u201d, the\nunderdog\u201d, the marginalized\u201d, the oppressed\u201d. What a goddamn lie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


\nHow can a demographic tail like that wag a national dog? It is simple. Their\npopulation is not evenly dispersed. It is concentrated in urban centres where\nit can acquire the political leverage it needs to have mainstream political\nparties compete for its support and impose changes on local governance and\nschool boards, and even on the customs of the neighbourhoods it dominates.\nHence the proliferation of no go\u201d zones in France, the Netherlands, Denmark,\nGermany, the UK and even Norway and Sweden. Even Montreal has one now: Ville\nSt. Laurent, where Muslims make up 40% of the neighbourhood population. These\nare de facto states within a state. Pilot projects for sharia. It would not be\nadvisable for non-Muslim women to walk through them without complying with the\nlocal dress code.
\n
\nWe have created a Frankenstein in our midst. Like the demolition of a building,\nwe conducted the demolition of Canada in several stages that in retrospect seem\nconflated in an historical eye-blink of time:
\n
\n    The first step was to change immigration selection criteria\nin 1965 \u2013 now 90% of migrants come from what used to be called the Third World,\nand a great many from Muslim countries. It remains moot as to whether they ever\nwill be assimilated. Even some high profile Leftists are beginning to think\nnot.
\n    The next step was the establishment of Official\nMulticulturalism in 1971. French and Anglo-Celtic Canada were henceforth to be\nregarded as mere fragments in the \u2018mosaic\u2019.
\n    Then we made the promotion of multiculturalism a mandate of\nour state-owned national broadcasting corporation, the CBC, which is an empire\nunto itself. Instead of seeing its mission as ensuring that all strands of\nCanadian opinion are reflected in its programming, the CBC sees it as giving a\nvoice to newcomers and identity groups.
\n    The consequences of our blind promotion of multiculturalism\nwere amplified by the institution of hyper-immigration quotas in 1991 that now\nenjoy the support of all Canada\u2019s national parties. The pace and scale of mass\nimmigration \u2013 between a quarter to a half-million newcomers per year \u2013 has been\nsuch that Canada is suffering from ethnic indigestion\u201d, a chronic inability to\nintegrate, never mind assimilate, swelling ethnic enclaves that have exploded\nin number from 7 in 1986 to 258 in 2011. Instead of seeing this advancing\ncultural fragmentation as inherently anarchic and divisive, Canadians are\nentreated to see it through the filter of the consensus media and the puppet\nintelligentsia as a convoluted form of nation-building and enrichment, an\nexpression of unity in diversity\u201d and other oxymoronic cant of similar\nabsurdity.
\n    Official multiculturalism and hyper-immigration were\nfollowed up with the imposition of so-called employment equity\u201d targets to\nhelp New Canadians fresh from the airport leap-frog over native-born\napplicants, including First Nations youth who suffer historic unemployment\nrates. Notwithstanding this affirmative discrimination\u201d, recent immigrants on\naverage don\u2019t earn nearly enough income to pay the taxes necessary to offset\nthe claims they make on our social safety net. This is not surprising, inasmuch\nas more than 80% were not selected on the basis of their skills but qualified\nby virtue of having relatives already in the country. The net fiscal burden\u201d\nof our great multicultural experiment has been estimated to be between $17-23\nbillion per year.
\n    Finally and most importantly, we have allowed the systematic\nindoctrination of two generations of Canadian college and university students\nwho have been taught that all cultures have equal merit, that our two founding\nEuropean cultures have no legitimacy, and that their own displacement is to be\nregarded as a triumph of \u2018diversity\u2019. These \u2018students\u2019 now occupy strategic\npositions in the media, in government, in the upper regions of our corporations\nand in the environmental organizations that these corporations fund. That\u2019s\nright, the leading mouthpieces of Canada\u2019s environmental movement have nothing\nto say about the ecological impact of adding five million migrants (plus two\nmillion of their children) to our nation since 1991, converting them into\nhyper-consumers of energy, or about the paving over of prime farmland with\nsubdivisions to accommodate this immigration-driven population growth.
\n
\nCanadians have been the lab rats in a massive experiment in social engineering,\nand the fact that those of us who understand this are labelled as extremists\u201d\nis a testimony to its success.
\n
\nWe are nearing the demographic tipping point, if we have not already passed it.\nAs if Peak Everything, climate change and financial collapse were not enough.
