The suspects, one in Montreal and one in Toronto, were arrested Monday morning and will face criminal charges in connection with the alleged plot. RCMP say the two accused are: Chiheb Esseghaier and Raed Jaser.

Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.

Neither was a Canadian citizen, and Canadian immigration has nothing to say about how they got into the country. And so ... nothing. Little rappy has a habit of blaming all 'Muslim' (a noun he can't seem to put into the plural form) for all acts of radical terror. But that would be like blaming all 'Catholic' for the acts of the IRA. Or all 'Protestant' for Germany starting WWI and WWII. And that's just stupid. Don't you agree?

Quote:Originally posted by 1kiki: "ANY religion can be prostituted by sick individuals; heaven knows ..." And any belief system. Though I think belief systems are by definition crazy. If they were based on observation, testing and appraisal they'd be based in reality. But beliefs by definition are held despite the lack of proof, or even because of the amount of disproof. I wonder if any extremism whether religious or political is like OCD. It's not enough to believe a little, you have to believe completely.
