Mar 02, 2012
Dutch TV show after Canadian writer Irshad Manji and MP Tofik Dibi, both Liberal gay Muslims, talk about how they were attacked by Islamic extremists in the Netherlands. Here is the story; Manji and Dibi talk on Dutch television program Pauw & Witteman about the incident: An Islamist group called for a Muslim lesbian author to be killed and invaded a discussion on Islam in Amsterdam last week. A December 8 debate, which included the Canadian Muslim lesbian author Irshad Manji and MP Tofik Dibi on a panel, was disrupted when extremists from the group Sharia4Belgium stormed the event, held at the De Balie theater in Amsterdam. The mob threw eggs and called for Manji's neck to be broken. The group of about 20 men and boys arrived halfway through the evening, chanted slogans and pelted the audience with eggs. A police mobile unit had to be called to eject the rioters, and two Belgian men aged 19 and 22 were arrested. The people who disrupted the debate were members of the Belgian group Sharia4Belgium, an offshoot of Sharia4Holland. Irshad Manji has experienced death threats for several years since her outspoken attack on traditional Islam in her book The Trouble with Islam Today. Dibi is a young, gay Dutch-Moroccan GreenLeft (GroenLinks) MP. In September, he launched a campaign calling on Muslims around the world to stop blindly following decrees issued by a handful of extremists, and to start thinking for themselves. Manji was in Europe to promote her new book, Allah ...

Ron Paul says "Canada is our closest friend" - Also educates on his foreign policy stance
May 24, 2012
Even after being neighbors for this long, sharing so much history and having so much in common. Many American's don't realize just how much they depend on Canada, and vice versa. Sure Canada, and Canadians, always seem to be the but of jokes on American comedy & talk shows.......the funny thing is most of the time those joke are written by Canadian writers working for those same shows. American were not jealous of you. Trust us things are going pretty good for us up here at the moment. But it would be nice if some of you woke up and realized just how important the relationship between our 2 countries are. American's also need to realize that there are hundreds of thousands of talented Canadians living in your country, many of them doctors, scientists, & tech experts, working in a variety of different sectors and making HUGE contributions to your way of life. Ron Paul recognizes how great, and important, our relationship is.....hopefully you do to.

. . . Imran says: "This is a short message to the King of Belgium and specifically to the Muslims in Belgium. This is the flag [black flag of jihad] that, Allah willing, will soon be flying on top of that building over there [the Belgian royal palace]. There you see the flag [Belgian flag] of the Taghut, the infidels, and soon the flag of 'there is no god but Allah' will be flying there, on top of that palace, and on top of all the other palaces in Europe, until Allah willing, we reach the White House...We will not rest, we will not stop, until this flag flies on top of that building [the royal palace]." The video then continues from another location in Brussels, namely directly in front of the Atomium. Imran says: "We can see nowadays how people are taking photos, and how people from all over Brussels and from all over Europe, come here for what is called 'tourism' and take photos of this monument. They hold on to this monument. On top, you can see the Belgian flag. This monument is a symbol of Belgium...Soon, Belgium will fall apart. May Allah disperse them and their country. Amen. Then this symbol will be useless to them." . . . "But Allah willing, Belgium will soon be freed from polytheism and idolatry...We promise to clean Belgium from the system of idolatry as well as of the idols themselves. Then we will demolish this symbol, this monument. Why? ... We need to ensure the safety of Belgian Muslims and non-Muslims in the Islamic state that will replace this Taghut ...
