1. In the meantime, Canada welcomes thousands of Muslims
Schreiber   (08.26.10)
every month, who arrive in Canada as "refugees" or immigrants. Since nobody can really tell a good immigrant from a potentially dangerous one, or guess how his kids are going to adjust, doesn't it make complete sense to declare a moratorium on immigration until we understand whether migrants and refugees from certain cultures are just too much of a risk? Whenever there is a defective commercial product from abroad, we stop importing it until we are completely sure that it is safe. The same principle should apply to human resources imported from cultures that are causing violence and destruction just about everywhere. The idea of a moratorium on immigration should get out of the closet and into mainstream conversation. People's lives and the future of our countries are at stake.

4. To: Sean in Montreal
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.26.10)
This was not a Zionist plot. It has absolutely nothing to do with Jews or the State of Israel or the fully legal settlements in Judea and Samaria. It has absolutely EVERYTHING to do with extreme violence and the desire to as much harm to innocent people as possible, a constant theme throughout the Islamofascist world. And do you want to know something particularly disgusting? Had these despicable individuals who owe SO much to Canada actually succeeded with their gruesome plans, do you know where the wildest celebrations would be taking place? I will tell you. Among Palestinians living in the West Bank and Gaza. I will tell you for a certainty that there is major disappointment in the aforementioned Palestinian communities that the plot was thwarted. On the other hand, had the plot succeeded, the Jews of Israel and the United States would be lining up to donate blood for hours. Therein the quintessential difference.
5. Toronto Star
marty ,   toronto, canada   (08.26.10)
The folks at the Toronto Star are caught between a rock and a hard place. The Toronto Star has an editorial policy of "Muslim = good, Israel/Jewish = bad"... they tend to glorify the most minor accomplishments of Muslims abroad and in Canada. This policy has brought readers daily puff piece articles on Ramadan, yet there was no mention of an Israeli mathematician winning the Nobel prize. Now more of their beloved have gone and gotten themselves arrested because of terrorist ties. $10 says tomorrow's headline will be about either the latest Wikkileaked report of American Jews seen by CIA as potential terrorist risks or that an Iranian soccer star is a hero for having a drink of water. The Ottawa terrorist story will no doubt be downplayed.
6. To Sarah
Nate ,   USA   (08.26.10)
Bark, bark, bark.. That's all you're good at.
7. Schreiber #1: Out here in western
Robert Haymond ,   Israel/Canada   (08.26.10)
Canada (Alberta) the folks are far more realistic and certainly less politically correct than the sophisticated folks in central ontario (Toronto & Ottawa). Therefore, it is a toss up as to whether such a notion would come to pass. Nonetheless, your take on immigration appears to be both timely and sound. In Canada, there will be the usual faux "liberal" squelches about how Canadian Muslims are good citizens and these reprobates who personify violence are only the usual "insignificant minority". Eventually, however, Canadians and Americans will wake up to the threats from within. But how long will it take and will it be too late?
8. THE REASON THERE WAS NO MENTION OF THE ISRAELI MATHEMATICIAN
stude ham   (08.26.10)
IS BECAUSE ALFRED NOBEL EXPLICITLY EXCLUDED MATHEMATICS FROM THE NOBEL PRIZE CATEGORIES. ALFRED NOBEL DID SO IN A PIQUE OF RAGE BECAUSE A MATHEMATICIAN RAN OFF WITH HIS WIFE. AND THAT'S WHY THE STAR NEVER MENTIONED AN ISRAELI MATHEMATICIAN WINNING A NOBEL PRIZE. BECAUSE NO MATHEMATICIAN IN THIS WORLD WILL EVER GET SUCH A DISTINCTION.
9. Poor Journalism & #5.
(08.26.10)
Your headline states that this terror plot was aimed at the stock exchange etc., but later in your article you claim that was the intended targets of a previous plot. Secondly Marty#5, you're nuts. The Star quite often has very favourable articles about Israel (try reading their travel section and how they promote travel to Israel VERY often, more than other countries in fact). Secondly the paper prints the truth unlike the National Post which a few years ago published erroneous propaganda that Iran was forcing Jews to wear yellow stars.
10. To: No. 6
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.26.10)
Congratulations on your informative and extraordinarily substantive post. Do your mommy and daddy know that you play on the computer when they're not around? Go back to your porn sites. YNet is well beyond your ken. Stick to pictures.
11. To: Stude Ham at No. 8
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.26.10)
Very, very good! I don't know if one in one billion people know that little fact ..... congratulations!
12. To: Stude Ham at No. 8, redux
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.26.10)
Actually .... it was Nobel's wife who ran off with the mathematician .....

(08.26.10)
Did you not pick up today's copy of the Toronto Star? What is the front page story?? Also, no Israeli won the Nobel Prize for math, it was the Fields Medal, but I guess you dont read very well.
14. To: No. 13
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.26.10)
No one of any nationality has ever won a Nobel Prize in Mathematics, probably because THERE ISN'T ONE. Duh. Don't worry, though. Jews are very well represented as laureates in all the other Nobel Prize categories. Eat your heart out.
15. That clip is LOL
Cameron ,   USA   (08.26.10)
The 12th century jumpin' up, & shakin' a leg! I would pay good money to see a bearded cat leap to his feet in the mosque, and do that funk routine in front of the faithful.
16. To #8 Obviously a miscalculation on Nobel's part. GROAN
M. Hartley ,   Atlanta, US   (08.26.10)
17. Canada is so tolerent and the muslims still want to blow it
michael ,   nevada USA   (08.27.10)
Canada is busy with tolerance all day and the muslims still want to blow it up when will the west wake up?
18. #8 - wonder if terrorist ran off with Nobel's wife...
William ,   Israel   (08.27.10)
who would the Lefties give the prize to after Nobel would explicitly exclude terrorists from the peace prize recipient category?
19. #6 Nate
Hal ,   Usa   (08.27.10)
Not a good impersonation of a dog Nate. I guess your not good at anything.
20. Alfred Nobel was never married
Samuel Prime ,   Canada   (08.27.10)
So he did not have a wife. The rumor that "his wife (or mistress) ran with a mathematician" appears to be a fairy tale: see: http://www.snopes.com/science/nobel.asp Anyway, about this story, thank goodness for the alertness of the Canadian police to stop these murderous jihadists. Canada has to revise its immigration policy.
21. I have lived In Montreal Canada my entire life..Its over
Al   (08.27.10)
Montreal Quebec will become the nest 'Stan' nation as this province is being swamped with muslims. In fact I am about to sell a property in a former Jewish area of Montreal to ahmeds who are meeting my price. I feel sorry for the remaining Jewish community here. They keep supporting institutions that are being overrun by muslims. The YMHA (heaviily used by everyone save Jews) , the Jewish General Hospital (Jewish in name only...they took away the Mogen Dovid in their logo, in their quest to be PC) is heavily supported by the Jewish community...Why I dont know. My kids are in Israel, my late parents are resting in a nicely manicured cemetary, my money is in the bank, I have my health, I have my wealth, its time to move.... Israel is a WIP but its the only address we Jews (those of us who have a brain and some self respect) can call our home.
22. Canadian Idol- and he can't sing either(e)
DT ,   TA Israel   (08.27.10)
23. :: Just to correct Sarah BS, again
Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (08.27.10)
In reality Nobel *never* married. This can easily be checked on Wikipedia etc.
24. no 5
hebrew prophet ,   israel   (08.27.10)
So who owns the Toronto Star and are the staff employed there also part of the Islamic Taqiyyah that deceives the infidels,do some investigative work and let us know ,Marty ?
25. #23 IDIOT!!! You had to go and spend all that angry energy
just to prove her ,   wrong??Get a life!!!   (08.28.10)
26. #23 - still using opinion pages as "facts", Matty?
William ,   Israel   (08.28.10)
Present a paper (outside of a Leftist arena, that is) with references to Wikipedia and you'd be given an F immediately. Wikipedia is crowd-sourcing which means its based on user opinions with the premise that the more opinions will bring it closer to the truth. However, if 1000 Leftists created the Turkish Folitlla page you can be sure that many real facts will be omitted. Oh wait, they did do that already. Sorry, Matty. You lose.
