...pisses off Amnesty International by abandoning imprisoned blogger Raif Badawi to
10 years in Saudi jail and 1,000 lashes...
"Obviously we want to be able to help," Trudeau said in an interview with Montreal radio station 98.5 FM. "Sometimes, pushing too hard, too quickly has harmful consequences for the people you want to try to help."
You think Mr Badawi, who has already received the first installment of his thousand lashes, might disagree?
I don't get it... where was
Prime Minister Care Bear's caution when the Liberals were hell-bent on
jamming 25,000 unvetted Muslim refugees down Canadian's throats, simply to make their very public Christmas deadline.
I guess Justin didn't want to
queer, er... complicate the sale of military hardware to
the Saudi Royal family.
Similarly, there was
no cautious pace when it came to repealing Conservative legislation to deport convicted terrorists with dual citizenship, or tossing out legislation that audited the
12 billion dollar annual welfare cheque to aboriginal chiefs.
Finally there was a singular lack of mindfulness when Justin's promised 10 billion dollar deficit
turned into 30 billion dollars.
But, heck... I'm sure Raif Badawi understands.

MANILA — Islamist militants on a remote Philippines island have again threatened to execute a pair of Canadian men if ransom isn’t paid soon. The violent Islamist militant group Abu Sayyaf wants $110 million in ransom to set Robert Hall, 50, and John Ridsdel, 68, free.
Gunmen kidnapped the two Canadians from the upscale Oceanview resort on Samal island last September.
Hey, you can't rush these things.

...just haven't got the skinny...
Responding to an online request for a religious edict, or fatwa, Sheikh Saleh al-Fozan said last month: "Calling oneself a liberal Muslim is a contradiction in terms ... one should repent before God for such ideas in order to be a real Muslim."
Sorry Raif... you're on your own.
