Irreverent, contrarian, delighted to be out of synch with the zeitgeist, I depend on my sense of humour (such as it is) to keep me sane in this wacky world.

Blather: A few quotes for your consideration:
The veil is not the same as the suicide belt. We can better pursue our values if we recognize the local and cultural context, and appreciate that people want to find their own balance between freedom and order, liberty and license. (”Learning to Live with Radical Islam,” Newsweek cover story by Fareed Zakaria, Feb. 28, ’09)
 “No.” (Former NDP MPP Marilyn Churley’s terse response when queried by Michael Coren as to whether we should be concerned about the danger posed by radical Islam,  The Michael Coren Show, July 8, ’09)
For that matter, there's little evidence that Muslims themselves see any contradiction between allegiance to the state and their religious faith. An overwhelming majority of Muslims in France and Germany told Gallup's pollsters that they believed Muslims were loyal to their country. British and German Muslims were more likely than their countrymen to say they were confident of the judicial system and financial institutions and the honesty of elections. It seems that if Europe is in the throes of revolution, many of the supposed combatants appear strangely content with the established order. (William Underhill, dispelling the “myth” of Eurabia, Newsweek, July 11, ’09)
You know, after reading these optimistic prognostications, I’d feel so much better about things--were it not for this:
You need to know that Obama, the first man that Obama picked when we were so happy that he was the President, he picked an Israeli – Rahm Emanuel– his number one man. His number two man – [David] Axelrod – another Israeli person. Why do this small number of people have control of the world? You need to go back into your history and find out about France and Germany and England and America got together and offered the Israelites, who became the Israelites, they offered them Ghana, the plains of Ghana. Why don't you take Ghana since we beat you down so badly? That's what the Holocaust was all about. You need to read my chapter on the Holocaust and the anti-Holocaust movement. There's some people in the world says no Holocaust even happened. Some of their leaders say no Holocaust even happened. Well it did happen. These people were punished. They were punished for a reason because they were serially disobedient to Allah. (Imam Warith Deen Umar, Judaism “expert” and former head of New York prison’s Muslim chaplain program, in an speech at “mainstream” organization ISNA’s 2009 convention)
Oh, and also this:
My sizing up of the man as I sat and talked with him was that he was really one who truly loves his fellow-man, and his country, and would make any sacrifice for their good. That he feels himself to a deliverer of his people from tyranny. (Canadian Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King’s journal entry following his pleasant tete-a-tete in Germany with the Fuhrer, 1937, quoted in Exiles From Nowhere: The Jews and the Canadian Elite, by Alan Mendelson)
And, in particular, this:
Fight against such of those who have been given the Scripture as believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, and forbid not that which Allah hath forbidden by His messenger, and follow not the Religion of Truth, until they pay the tribute readily, being brought low. (The Koran, 9:029)
