- Mousse, on 10/12/2007, -7/+83"It also refers to Canada's "fanatic adherence to Christianity" as well as its purported attempts to "damage the Muslims" and its support for the "Christian Crusade" against al-Qaeda."
Wow, al Qaeda is truly out of touch with reality. - ThunderIT, on 10/12/2007, -2/+76invaded the US and burned down the white house, but other than that, we are generally quite friendly
- ashester, on 10/12/2007, -2/+72Um... the CN tower, either that or a moose... definitely a moose
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+71That might be the best digg comment ever. Why? It's not susceptible to fanboy attacks, it contains no technology preference, it was not said by Steve Colbert or Borat, it has no Bush supporting/bashing, and is not a top 10 list. Dugg.
- praisethelard, on 06/06/2008, -4/+62What has Canada ever done to anybody?!
- seaner, on 10/12/2007, -2/+50As Jon Stewart once said "Hating Canada is like hating toast"
- mrASSMAN, on 10/12/2007, -2/+47Nooo, not Canada! That's our happy place.. :(
Attacking Canada is like throwing sand at a toddler's face.. - stoops, on 10/12/2007, -13/+51As a Canadian speaking on behalf of Canada... Most of our land is flat, what are you going to bomb? Our corn fields? Well good luck with that, and by the way, if we pull out wouldn't that mean the terrorists win?
- ChileanGoD, on 10/12/2007, -4/+43The Olympic stadium is falling by itself.
- DcaptdVermnMeat, on 10/12/2007, -21/+60@pevail
You are an idiot - nkassi, on 10/12/2007, -2/+38In other news, the Quebec government ask Al-Qaeda to bomb the Olympic stadium to save money.
- trik, on 10/12/2007, -2/+37who the ***** makes threats on Canada? If Canada has troops in your country then your already completely ***** by the rest of the world!
- Ignignokt01, on 10/12/2007, -6/+35Umm... you are aware that Al-Qaeda has existed LONG before the 'war on terror'? You are absolutely ignorant. Don't get me wrong, I have some big problems with the 'war on terror' myself (including the ***** name, it should be 'the war on religious extremism', because terrorism is used by all kinds of people, including our own political parties), but don't go saying idiotic things like 'the US gov made Al-Qaeda up so they could kill American, Spanish, and British people and get away with it so they could get political support'. No, thats just ***** stupid...
- nixonrichard, on 10/12/2007, -2/+29Well, I actually DO take offense . . . just what is a terrorist? I think of them more as freedom fighters. Nah, just kidding, ***** 'em.
- theredbicycle, on 10/12/2007, -6/+30"invaded the US and burned down the white house"
Well, we know it wasn't the French part of Canada that did that... - masamunecyrus, on 10/12/2007, -4/+24@Mousse:
Seriously, how can it possibly think that Canada is fanatical Christian? Heck, this is the same country that prosecuted some priests because they were preaching against homosexuality. They are truly out of touch with reality. - nixonrichard, on 10/12/2007, -5/+25Don't "cut and run" Canada. We love you down here in the US. Curling is such an awesome sport to watch when you're high.
- EasY_TargeT, on 10/12/2007, -2/+20its because of Canada that 1601 Pennsylvania Drive is known as the white house.
- shadesfox, on 10/12/2007, -1/+19If crime fighters fight crime and fire fighters fight fire, what do freedom fighters fight?
- Dustyb, on 10/12/2007, -3/+21ALL THAT and he has a 12 oz. mouse avatar. Dugg as well.
- JeremyBanks, on 10/12/2007, -1/+18The TTC? They bombed London's public transit, why wouldn't they do the same here? The TTC has more than two million passengers daily (close to the number that the London subway has), if you struck a busy downtown station, you'd do a lot of damage.
- themastersb, on 10/12/2007, -7/+23Who can hate toast?
- HotGore, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17What are you talking about? No one can understand him!
Anyways he sent troops into Afghanistan, but not Iraq. - sanman, on 10/12/2007, -5/+20As a non-white Torontonian of immigrant background, I'll say that there are way too many ***** immigrants in this country, and I personally know people who express strong sympathies for Taliban, AlQaeda, Hamas, etc -- you name it.
This is what happens when you don't have assimilation -- you end up with too many people having an "anything goes" mentality.
What the ***** is the purpose of having a country -- just to make it a hotel?
Well, hotels don't necessary last or endure the test of time. I've certainly never heard of anybody fighting to save a hotel or stick their neck out for it. Usually you just find another hotel to check into, rather than expend any effort.
US & NATO soldiers (including Canadians) are being killed in Afghanistan due to Pakistan's continued support for the Taliban. Canada by itself doesn't have the political clout to compel Pakistan to stop its ugly game of trying to re-conquer Afghanistan, but Canada really ought to be working with NATO allies to rally their common action against Pakistan, the sponsor of the Taliban.

Harper's in a state of confusion or paralysis, as is every other Western govt in the War on Terror. And this is because Bush has set the tone for leadership vacuum. Certainly, the Taliban are a malevolent force who burn down women's schools and shoot female teachers, and are definitely the kind of bad guys worth killing. But Bush has distracted the entire agenda so badly with his misguided sidetrack into Iraq, that the entire War on Terror is in danger of imploding. Now every Islamic fundamentalist is able to latch onto the Iraq fiasco to claim vindication for their extremist views.
The other problem is that white people won't fight for anything unless it's their pweciousss Europe under threat of invasion. If it's a protracted war on the Korean peninsula, if it's a war in Vietnam or any other part of Asia, or Somalia, then white people really don't want to show up to die helping out those funny-looking people. They only feel comfortable helping out the "old country", otherwise they don't have any stamina. - egarcia79, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17al-Qaeda refers to Canada's "fanatic adherence to Christianity". How is that any different then their fanatic adherence to their muslim beliefs. Who cares what religion anyone is. It's no reason to kill or dislike another person over.
- davidod87, on 10/12/2007, -3/+17You can't "beat" terrorists, because they'll always exist everywhere.
- abbott75, on 10/12/2007, -3/+17You're a terrorist?
- teddyrux, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13It would cost $100,000,000 to blow up the Olympic Stadium or $300,000,000 to fix it. It is a lose lose situation. If terrorists would blow it up for free (assuming no casualties of course)...Canada would win.
- WomunOfColour, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15From the article:
"[Canada's] fanatic adherence to Christianity makes it rush to the financial aid of any issue that will damage the Muslims and strengthen their enemies," the 66-page document claims.
... What? - JeremyBanks, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13Apparently 77% of our population claim to be Christians, though it doesn't seem to be that high to me. =
- cdnbaconwrap, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12Guys it won't be Ontario or Quebec targets. The targets will be in Alberta - mainly Calgary.
For the following reasons:
1. Home to Canada's oil & gas industries, including American
2. We have the largest expatriate American population outside the US (110,000)
3. Home to Harper's riding. Many have similar political outlooks as Americans. Provincial government - LOVES BUSH and Cheney.
4. Within a 1km radius in downtown Calgary there are 5 majour world oil companies that have interests in Iraq and the region.
5. The construction boom in downtown Calgary is the best cover to bring in truck bombs to blow-out the bases of the towers that are the home of these companies.
6. There is an increase of 'chatter' similar to pre-911
***** al-Qaeda! I hope its a fellow Canuck that gets that scumbag. - BunnyWunny, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12As a Canadian, I'm surprised you've forgotten about the Air India bombing which killed hundreds. Offhand I can think of thousands of possible terrorist targets here, and unlike in most US states, we can't be armed to protect ourselves, so we're sitting ducks :-(
- atezun, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Fanatic adherence to Christianity? We legalized same-sex marriage!
- jamsea, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11I have atleast 1-3 people in EVERY ONE of my classes who is muslem. And ATLEAST half of my school is of arabic decent. I'm not even exaggerating.
By the way, I go to a catholic school too. - CBTF, on 10/12/2007, -7/+17I'd like to thank our lovely ***** of a prime minister for slowly sending my nation down the drain. He stepped up the Canadian force's role in Afghanistan to offensive as opposed to peacekeeping. Genius on his behalf.
I still don't understand why everyone in Canada voted a neocon in. He's a Bush puppet. - grzelakc, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11National Post = FauxNews Canada.
This drivel was published purely as a counterpoint to the mass of protest against the war in Afghanistan that took place on Saturday.
FYI National Post is owned by Rupert Murdoch. - neoform, on 10/12/2007, -4/+12This threat is moot, Canada will not be attacked, just by reading the threat you can tell it's pure propaganda just to scare canadians and to inspire those in Afganistan to fight harder against us.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8I laugh at you.
- CkMaverick, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8It is an empty threat. Attacking Canada would be the worst possible move for al-Qaeda. It would give the U.S. more support for the war and give them a chance to say "see we told you so." The last thing they would want is to increase support for the U.S. As an American I can easily say that we are digging ourselves a pretty big hole without the help of al-Qaeda, all they need to do now is sit back and watch... The last thing al-Qaeda wants to do is toss us a rope. They wouldn't be stupid enough to attack one of the most pacifist nations out there and risk increasing U.S. international support.
- Corrosionx, on 10/12/2007, -4/+11Bring it on!
/fearing the terrorists is letting them win - reflex, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Dear Al Qaeda: Here is a video showing Canadian troops kicking your Taliban pals butts in Afghanistan: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaC-w2dIxZc
- weneedsound, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9Canada has been debating pulling out of Afghanistan due to losing support and not being able to sustain a full fledged foreign war without putting a strain on their resources.
No doubt this is a propaganda ploy by al-Qaeda to gain more recruits through threatening a government that is on the brink of leaving anyways and then spinning it as a victory. - rogerbannister, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8As the old saying goes..."You may not be interested in war, but war is interested in you."
dugg - DeadLikeMe, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8I think we Americans should be rightly pissed off that Canada is getting this attention! WTF. Who does AQ think we are - sissies, losers, a country not to be taken seriously about tracking them down and killing them?
Oh wait. I guess after all these years and with little success to show for billions of dollars spent and thousands of lives lost in our AQ hunt, AQ is not too concerned about us any more. - aristotle0dude, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8People kill because of flaws in human nature. The lust of power, wealth and influence as well as the fear of the unknown are what drive people to kill.
To say that it the fault of religion is to use a convenient scapegoat to drive a different agenda. If religion was not there, people would still kill each other.
I'd suggest walking Equilibrium. It might be a real eye opener. - incu_vamp, on 10/12/2007, -9/+15it was a stupid idea to send troops there in the first place. They should have just stuck with what Jean Chrétien said.
- Vokas, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9We Canadians are only smug because we are better.
- RobynG7, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8If there's one word that describes religious extremists, it's "hypocritical".
You have a good point; and furthermore, although they claim to be fighting for Islam, I doubt Allah would approve. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+13*****
