'Follow the footsteps of our brave brother': ISIS takes to Twitter to call for MORE attacks on Canada as it's feared more than 130 young Muslims have already left the country to join the terror group
Suspected terrorist attacks in Canada have sparked commentary from the online jihadist community on Twitter who are calling upon others to strike
'Muslims in Canada, follow the footsteps of our brave brother Martin Rouleau who took revenge for Canadian military aggression in our lands,' wrote suspected jihadist Abu Khalid Al-Kanadi
The Canadian government estimates that over 130 Muslim youth have already left the country to join ISIS and that the number is growing

(25,591 posts)In Islam, taqiyya تقية (alternative spellings taqiyeh, taqiya, taqiyah, tuqyah) is a form of religious dissimulation, or a legal dispensation whereby a believing individual can deny his faith or commit otherwise illegal or blasphemous acts while they are in fear or at risk of significant persecution.
BTW, how do you get to call a poster a bigot and get away with it? Just asking in a friendly fashion.

(25,591 posts)And am well-pleased. Oh just one more thing: you must have overlooked my question. That was an oversight I am certain. Do you have an answer or would you rather not provide it now? Anything which pleases you is fine with me. I await your enlightened response!

(25,699 posts)and it's not a matter of "getting to." it's a matter of when I see a bigot, I call them a bigot.

(18,184 posts)Propaganda that implies that all people of a certain group lie for their own benefit is untrue and should be unacceptable on this board.
Treat each DUer as an individual with their own point of view and leave the RW broadbrush smears out of it. And address the points raised, not your perception of the individual.

(2,219 posts)They try to tell us that terrorism like ISIS and worldwide attacks are all in our mind. That if you believe that terrorism exists , then you must be a bigot.
That's a load of bs.
People know what's going on and no one believes that bullshit anymore.

(2,219 posts)Time to stop making excuses and lies when the facts are right there.
They can sell that bullshit all day long....no one believes that anymore.
Scootaloo
(25,699 posts)However it's not really worth the worry over it. Especially given that, you know, instilling hysteria and worry is the entire point, and indulging is simply granting victory to the assholes who perpetrate the act.
So too, is using the act to justify targeting and abuse of a community of people who happen to have a faith in common with the shooter. Which is where you come in, Rhinodawg. I'm very familiar with your sort. I could even link you to a thread of people just like you, posting stories and rhetoric just like yours, but you know, linking to hate sites isn't allowed. I dunno why, it's not like the ToS is taken seriously anymore anyway but whatever I guess.
You are utilizing IS' bullshit and propaganda to justify your own bullshit and propaganda. Every tim they tweet something, you will re-tweet it, claiming 'vindication" for your hate of Muslims and encouraging others to "wake up" and "see what's going on."
Thankfully you seem very quiet about what your solution to the "Muslim problem" might be - I suspect that this is due to your understanding that DU actually does have some limits as to how much slime will be tolerated... but maybe not. You should give it a try.

(4,254 posts)He was planning on putting in a law to make easier to buy restricted assault rifles but I saw on the news that is now on hold. I wouldlie tosee the long gun restry bereinstated. I have my own fire arms licence so I am not anti gun. I had to go through a check by our OPP. They check for mental stability (domestic violence) and criminal history. I do not object to this.
Harper calls these two attacks n Canadian soldiers terrorism. I believe it is mentally ill people committing a criminal act.
riverbendviewgal
(4,254 posts)Interestingly enough, the Harper government and conservative allies were planning even looser restrictions on guns during the upcoming parliamentary session. But as bullets were whizzing outside their doors, it remains to be seen whether they, and the Canadian public, will have a similar appetite for looser gun laws.

Our radar systems are just being reprogramed for a new reality.

(4,254 posts)that Canadians are calm and will handle this sensibly and thoughtfully... As you saw from the Canadian media reports there was no rushing to report ANYTHING, JUST TO REPORT ... news people were being careful not to pass on misinformation.
Hopefully, my Parliament will look into gathering these suspect people and holding them for mental assessment and deradicalizing them. similar to the UK method as I understand.
We will be more diligent and have more security cameras and CSIS will be listening in more now ..
No one up here in Canada, I know is talking about this as something like the end of the world for us Canadians. It is serious and we take it serious. It is sad for our soldiers who were victims.
I notice there were no Canadians commenting on this op. Just me. Just wanted to give a Canadian perspective.
I am not afraid.... Remember, The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself..
Be calm my friends. We got it under control..

(7,299 posts)No need for panic, reason and logic will suffice.
laundry_queen
(8,646 posts)Canadians are not prone to panic in these kinds of situations - we tend to be pretty pragmatic. I won't be changing how I go about my daily life and I refuse to be afraid. And pretty much everyone around me has said the same thing.

Live your life in fear, always worrying about what might happen...so much so that it keeps you from LIVING.
OR -----
Live your life in the moment and don't worry about what might happen because you can't predict it anyway...enjoy LIVING.
I wonder what the world would be like if everyone stopped living in fear.

(4,254 posts)Wrote to me so excited saying that "they" (the muslims) are now invading Canada and its "over" now for all us in Canada.. he then forwarded a cousin's long chain email of how bad All muslims are.
I told my brother I do not have any fear this is an invasion. I, like many other Canadians, feel these crazy killers are mentally ill. We do have a serious problem and also the USA where it is very, very difficult to get mental health care for people. I personally have friends with loved ones who can not get help from our health care agencies as beds are too few and unavailable. Sometimes these mentally ill people end in jail instead of getting health care. Our one payer health is great but lscking in that area.
My brother then went on a rant about Jesus and how all muslims want to kill all christians. I told my brother I have had co workers who are muslim and I found them not at all like that. He then went on to tell me how sorry he was for me because I am an atheist and have NO values. How insulting.
I replied I do not care anymore what he thinks.
One can not choose family but one can avoid them. My brother has continously promised "no discussions on religion and politics". He can not keep his promise.
