Yep. Here’s one they missed. This Arab terrorist was converted by Christian thought Walid Shoebat, former terrorist, was born and trained in Muslim terrorism. When growing up taught to hate Jews, even before he even knew what a Jew was. Learned it was a holy Muslim aim to retake Israel by force. He participated in terrorist activities. Learned to make bombs. Personally attacked to kill. Married a Christian woman in1993. Read the Christian bible with aim to prove to wife the truths of Islam. Instead the truth was proven to Walid. His appearances in public today are the exact opposite of the terrorist activities he was taught. For a complete story go to http://www.israelnationalnews.com/news.php3?id=56867 . Promise: It will blow your mind.

Hey, the politicians know how to work the crowd….but at the same time, you can be damned sure that CSIS is keeping a close eye on the Muslim community/mosques……. Yeah, Muslims are dying to get out of their repressed, oppressive societies…But with radical Islam rearing its head, the population of even liberal western societies (Holland, Denmark, Sweden) have clamored to drastically cut Muslim immigration. With approximately 600,000 Muslims in the country, Islam became the

number one non-Christian faith in Canada. The census attributed the increase to immigration from South Asia,

North Africa and the Middle East. Muslim is shrinking in converts, though the Islamists on this NG would have you believe otherwise….
