I haven’t done this in a while, and I think some of my fave bloggers are feeling neglected. Not that they care about the 2 hits they’ll get from these links, but hey, I think they’re great reads… so you should too 🙂
Lynn is not impressed by Arafat’s mea culpa and neither is Meryl. Neither am I, for that matter. Arafat’s line about how “even the prophets made mistakes” sounds more like an egotistical attempt for Arafat to compare himself to a prophet than anything else. I guess megalomania comes with the territory for dictators. Whatever.
LGF has the Muslim self-congratulations for vote influence in Canada, which is a logical follow-up to some of what I posted before the election.
Damian has some thoughts about the backlash against Springsteen for participating in the concerts for John Kerry. I think he nails the issue – it’s silly to boycott all celebs for their political views unless they’re extreme. But if people want to boycott, or to criticize, that’s part of freedom of speech as well. Personally I wish celebs would butt out of politics and stick to their areas of expertise, but I know that’s about as likely to happen as peace in the middle east.
And finally, a shout-out to the newest link on my blogroll, Autonomous Source. Bruce is a blogger from right here in Quebec, and definately worth a read.
ok, why is there something wrong with muslims asserting their political power in Canada???
Jews are never shy about doing it… so why again would that be wrong for muslims? Why don’t you just say it that you think muslims are inferior people?
The minister of justice of canada is a jew, the minister of revenu in Quebec is a jew. And look at all the italian names in the Martin cabinet. If anything, there is a lack of muslims in canadian politic. More muslim in politic will be good.
“A few days ahead of the federal elections, three Canadian Muslim leaders met at Concordia University in Montreal to discuss Islamic ‘committed voting.’ The event, however, turned into an anti-Zionist, Jew-bashing fest.”
That’s why, in short. When Canadian Islamists play nice, we’ll be happy to let them in the sanbox with everybody else.
