We were warning about the dangers of such Islamophobic hate mongering for a long time because we know what comes from such rhetoric. My heart is with the victims and surivivors - God bless them all with recovery. Amen.

Canadians stunned at inclusion in confessed killer’s manifesto
*People like Salim Mansur should not be so shocked - when you go on and on about how its just bad bad bad - whaddya think people will come bearing - flowers? How interesting that the other issue is of Muslim prayer in schools & its the SAME kind of targetting and demonization occurring right now against Muslim kids in the TDSB and Islam in general. The irony is lost only on those who choose not to see it.

*The killings in Norway “could easily happen here,” he said.

*These are people will blood on their hands now. Deny all you want - it won't help.
There is just so much already written on this but my comments are as such: The attacks in Norway were the result of the type of Islamophobia being perpetuated on a daily basis on FB, blogs, Fox News, the Tea Party - even members of public office. If you still think that Islamophobia is a figment of the imagination - go and talk to the ghosts of the dead in Norway. STOP THE HATE or perish in it - there is no middle ground.
