Prime Minister Stephen Harper must be one of those hateful, bigoted and racist anti-Muslims we hear so much about. Telling it like it is, unvarnished and pointed, Harper has now set himself up for all the above insults, and more. By speaking the truth about Islam, by taking a stand against the spread of sharia and Islam, Harper has opened the door for Canadian-Muslims to stand with him, and with all Canadians who value their freedom, culture and society, and who are brave enough to be counted as part of the growing anti-jihad movement.
Whether we see Muslims take their support for Harpers plan, en masse to the streets, use the press to make their beliefs known and denounce jihad and sharia without hesitation is to be seen. It would be a clear sign that some Muslims in a Western country want their religion back, and maybe that can stimulate some kind of "North American Spring" both in Canada and here in the US, eh?

Harper: Islamist terrorism greatest threat
OTTAWA, Sept. 6 (UPI) -- Prime Minister Stephen Harper sees Islamic terrorism as the greatest threat to Canada's security, the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. reported Tuesday.
In an exclusive interview that is to air in its entirety Thursday, the Conservative prime minister told the CBC he believes Canada is safer now than it was when al-Qaida terrorist cells attacked the United States on Sept. 11, 2001. However, he said, "the major threat is still Islamicism."
Close enough, Harper.
"There are other threats out there, but that is the one that I can tell you occupies the security apparatus most regularly in terms of actual terrorist threats," Harper said.
You mean it's not those pesky Mennonites?
He said while people think of Islamic terrorists as emanating from countries such as Afghanistan or the Middle East, "the truth is that threat exists all over the world" and home-grown Islamic radicals in Canada are "also something that we keep an eye on."
The prime minister said his government intends to resurrect anti-terrorism laws that sunset in 2007, including one allowing police to arrest terror suspects without a warrant and detain them for three days without charges, and another permitting judges to jail foot-dragging witnesses in some instances.
"We think those measures are necessary. We think they've been useful," he told the CBC. "And as you know … they're applied rarely, but there are times where they're needed."
