Jihad Watch is an eye-opening website for those who want to
have eyes opened. I reproduce one of today’s postings in its entirety.

This report apparently focuses on where Muslims are
"radicalized," rather than on the much more important question of how
-- probably because investigating the latter would take Canadian authorities
straight into the Qur'an and Sunnah, which is the one place they don't want to
go. Jihadists make recruits among peaceful Muslims by claiming that they are
the exponents of authentic Islam, and making their case from core Islamic
texts. The "moderates" have never mounted any effective rejoinder to
this appeal. But to admit this would be to contradict central elements of Canadian
immigration policy and the entire multiculturalist enterprise. And so we get
this report on where, but never ever discuss the really important questions.
"Islamist extremists radicalizing Canadians at ‘a large
number of venues,’ secret report reveals," by Stewart Bell in the
National Post, January 3 (thanks to Twostellas):
Islamist extremists are now radicalizing Canadians at “a large number
of venues,” according to a secret intelligence report released to the National
Post under the Access to Information Act.
While mosques with hardline imams are often singled out for spreading
violent Islamist ideology, the study found that radicalization has been taking
place at a much longer list of locales.
“Radicalization is not limited to religious centres,” says the Canadian
Security Intelligence Service report, titled Venues of Sunni Islamist Radicalization
in Canada.
The heavily censored report identifies the role of prisons, the
Internet and foreign travel in turning some Canadians into extremists who wage
or support violence. But it also points a finger at the family home.
“Parents have radicalized children,” reads the Intelligence Assessment,
“husbands have radicalized wives (and some wives have radicalized or supported
their husbands) … and siblings have radicalized each other,” it says....
Since al-Qaeda’s attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, an increasing number of
Canadians have become lured into Islamist extremism, an intolerant,
anti-democratic and virulently anti-Western worldview that preaches that
violence against non-Muslims is a religious duty and a path to paradise.
Why, where would "Islamist extremists" get that
crazy idea? Surely not from the
Qur'an!
Several Canadian extremists have travelled abroad to countries such as
Pakistan and Somalia with the intention of engaging in what they call jihad,
while others have plotted mass casualty attacks in Canada, although none has
succeeded.
