"Maybe they used to sell petrol"

These guys must just sit around, laughing at how oblivious we are to the growing Islamist threat.

It is an innocent looking semi-detached property in the university city of Cambridge from where an Islamic charity, dedicated to peace and interfaith friendship, operates.

The leaders of the Islamic Academy are so moderate that they were recently invited to share a platform with Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury.

Yet there are growing suspicions that this suburban house is where the origins of the suspected London and Glasgow bomb plots may lie, The Sunday Telegraph can reveal.

Funny... there seems to be an sudden outbreak of amnesia at the academy.

On Friday, those attending prayers at the academy, more than half of them in their twenties and many highly educated, insisted they could not remember any of the suspects.

Of course, that's not nearly as alarming as the... at minimum... willful ignorance down at the mosque.

Sejad Mekic, the imam at the Cambridge mosque which Abdullah also attended, gave a sermon on Friday condemning all acts of terror.

However, he later said he had doubts that the incident at Glasgow airport was a terrorist attack, saying it could have been a car accident.

"I still haven't made my conclusion," he said.

When it was pointed out that containers of petrol were reportedly found in the car, he said: "Maybe they used to sell petrol."

-- SYDNEY -- Australia warned on Sunday of possible imminent terrorist attacks in Indonesia, including on the resort island of Bali, and told its citizens to think twice before travelling there.

And Australian Prime Minister John Howard on Sunday fast-tracked changes to immigration screening which match intelligence data with a person's travel and financial history to determine if they might be a security threat to Australia.

While Al Gore basks in the gazillion watt limelight of his power guzzling, carbon spewing, "celeb-fest", some people attempt to deal with a very real and imminent danger.

Members of the Southeast Asia militant group Jemaah Islamiah were convicted of the blasts, which killed 202 people, including 88 Australian holidaymakers.

Two years later the Australian embassy in Jakarta was bombed and in October 2005, 23 people, including four Australians, died in suicide attacks on Bali restaurants.

What your OHIP premiums...

Really pay for.

-- TORONTO -- Critics say the Liberals are turning a blind eye to health-care fraud by not quickly phasing out millions of old health cards following a recommendation from the province's auditor general months ago.

The old cards don't have photo identification or expiry dates, making them a target for fraud estimated at up to $22 million annually.

Auditor General Jim McCarter called for the government to "expedite'' the phase-out of the old cards in his December report because of suspected fraud.

Premier Dalton McGuinty said the government isn't being complacent about replacing the old cards. Although he still carries an old red-and-white card in his wallet, McGuinty said it's unacceptable that phasing them out has taken this long.

Despite the fact that there are 300,000 more OHIP cards in circulation... than there are people in Ontario... Dalton McGuinty isn't moving to shut off the taxpayer tap.

Of course, there are always a few hiccups along the way.

At issue was Treaty 8 Indian Gordon Benoit who claimed an oral promise made to his ancestors in 1899 exempted him and all Treaty 8 Indians from having to pay any tax, for all time, anywhere in Canada.

Your CTF intervened in this case to argue what politicians would not... If someone does not pay tax it should because they are poor, not because of their racial ancestry.

In the absence of any convincing evidence that Brant wasn't going to go out and blockade the courthouse parking lot that very afternoon... Judge D.K. Kirkland decided to lodge Mr. Brant at the local "Crowbar Motel" for the next 7 weeks.

On a positive note, the jihadis let some kids go

-- ISLAMABAD -- About 700 followers of a radical mosque surrendered Wednesday as government troops with armoured personnel carriers tightened their stranglehold on the building a day after clashes killed at least 16 people, officials said.

In the past six months, the clerics have challenged the government by sending students from the mosque to kidnap alleged prostitutes and police in an anti-vice campaign.

Everybody else is going on a little trip.

One of those who decided to give up, 15-year-old Maryam Qayyeum, said many were not leaving the seminary. "They are happy. They only want martyrdom. They don't want to go home," she said.

Ms. Qayyeum said mosque leaders were not trying to stop students from giving up. But her mother, who had come to take her home said, "They are making speeches. They want to incite them."

The next time the media...

Try to wind you up about the 60 Canadian casualties over the last 6 years in Afghanistan, remember this...

-- ORILLIA, Ont. (CP) -- Six people died on roads patrolled by Ontario Provincial Police over the Canada Day weekend.

There have been 225 traffic deaths on Ontario roads so far in 2007, up from 186 at the same time last year despite the fact provincial police have issued almost 22,000 more speeding tickets this year than last.

So, to recap... deaths in Afghanistan average out at 10 per year.

People who die in car accidents, on Ontario roads alone... we're on track to hit 500 in 2007.

Think about it.

Can somebody please tell me...

Why the media and the lunatic left are going apeshit over the Scooter Libby pardon... while "Slick Willy" gets a free ride?

Bill Clinton granted 395 pardons during his presidency, comparable in number to other recent presidents.

However, of that total 140 were issued on his final day in office. His final day pardon of financier Marc Rich, who had fled the country on tax evasion charges, immediately erupted in controversy.

There were charges that emissaries of Rich had used personal influence and campaign contributions to win the pardon.

What a bunch of happy hypocritical horseshit.

**********

UPDATE: Hillary Clinton starts digging

Her husband's pardons, issued in the closing hours of his presidency, were simply routine exercise in the use of the pardon power, and none were aimed at protecting the Clinton presidency or legacy, she said.

So, those "campaign contributions" were totally coincidental, right?

She's got bigger balls than Bill.

THE SCOOP: Show me the money!!!

Marc Rich's socialite ex-wife has donated an estimated $1 million to Democratic causes, including $70,000 to Hillary Clinton's successful Senate campaign and $450,000 to the Clinton presidential library fund.

And they wonder why...

Infant mortality is exponentially higher in the aboriginal population...

-- SECHELT, B.C. -- Members of the Sechelt First Nation, on the Sunshine Coast north of Vancouver, have held an emergency meeting following an ugly incident with RCMP.

Several members of the band, including a seven-month-old baby, were pepper-sprayed Monday as RCMP officers faced what they say was an unruly crowd.

I love how the media automatically tries to paint this as police brutality... completely ignoring the legal and safety issues. The driver refused to stop for a police car, then he ran a roadblock... which suggests, at minimum, some toxicological or intellectual impairment.

Members of the First Nation say a local soccer coach was using his pickup truck to drive several team members through the reserve to celebrate a tournament victory when police intervened.

Police said that 10 people were crowded into the back of the truck and that the driver refused orders to stop.

One question here.

Was the baby with one of the ten people standing up in the back of the truck... or did mom, unlike any sane parent... just wade into the melee looking to beat on a cop?

Yup... mom wanted to fight.

"The child's mother was the spouse of the person we were trying to arrest," Linteau said. "She also became very combative and was trying to push at the officers and trying to interfere. It's unfortunate that she would bring a baby into a situation like that."

That's one word. It's also crazy and a criminal offense.

Somebody please call Childrens Aid.

UPDATE: Well, I guess he could've shot somebody

Instead of using pepper spray.

The RCMP today defended a police officer's decision to use pepper spray Monday to control a "confrontational" crowd in Sechelt that was celebrating a Vancouver soccer tournament victory by Sechelt band soccer teams.

There's just no keeping these folks happy.

Unlike their illiterate, raggedy-ass compatriots in the Khandahar trenches...

I have to ask,,, do Muslim physicians take the Hippocratic Oath?

-- BBC -- Eight people arrested in connection with failed car bombings in Glasgow and London all have links with the National Health Service, the BBC has learned.

Seven are believed to be doctors or medical students, while one formerly worked as a laboratory technician.

In one positive sign from the Muslim community, there is some disavowal regarding this latest terror campaign.

Speaking at a Muslim Council of Britain press conference, Dr Muhammed Abdul Bari said those who sought to kill or maim innocent people were "enemies of all of Muslims and non-Muslims".

UPDATE: Voice of reason

-- LONDON, July 3 (Reuters) -- Iraqi doctors working in Britain expressed anger on Tuesday that one of their number could be involved in the London and Glasgow bomb plots, saying they feared it could harm their reputation.

"A lot of people will just quickly point the finger at Middle Eastern doctors now, I know it and I guess to an extent I can't blame them," said Mudher al-Khairallah an Iraqi-British internist at Ninewells hospital in Dundee, Scotland.

Maybe that night, it just wasn't...

The will of Allah...

Only a technical fault stopped hundreds being injured and possibly dying. The bombs were rigged to go off when the mobile phones – the detonators – were called.

The bombers called the Tiger Tiger car twice and the other car four times but the bombs failed to detonate. Police were able to use information from the phones to trace the suspects.

One account in the report says the gunner shot at two friendly positions in quick succession during the fierce battle early on March 29, 2006.

-- THUNDER BAY, ONT. -- The number of high-ranking federal civil servants receiving a special bonus when they retire from the "stresses" of running their government departments has more than tripled in the last decade.

The bonus puts an average of more than $23,000 a year into the pockets of those who qualify.

If $23,000 is the bonus, what obscene amount of money do these people get in salary and perks?

Police said one man arrested in Glasgow is Bilal Abdulla.

Staff at Royal Alexandra Hospital said one suspect was a doctor of Middle Eastern or Iraqi origin who worked there.

A 27-YEAR-old Gold Coast doctor was arrested at Brisbane Airport last night in connection with Britain's foiled car bomb terror plot, authorities have confirmed.

The doctor, a registrar at Gold Coast Hospital, is the eighth person held over the foiled terror plot to detonate car bombs in London and the attack using a flaming 4WD on Glasgow Airport.

Attorney-General Phillip Ruddock said it was believed the man was seeking to leave Australia when he was arrested at the Brisbane International Airport, he did not have a return ticket.

Tennessee is the first state to make universal carding mandatory, the National Alcohol Beverage Control Association said. The law does not apply to beer sales in bars and restaurants, and it does not cover wine and liquor.

“It’s the stupidest law I ever heard of,” said Comer Wilson, 66. “You can see I’m over 21.”

Let's stop this nonsense now.

Tossing political correctness...

Out the window... unlike some Ontario Provincial Police forces I could name...

Detectives investigating the failed car bombings at Glasgow airport and in London have arrested two more people, taking the total number held to seven.

It has also emerged that police may have been trying to trace the airport bomb suspects before Saturday's attack.

See Commissioner Fantino... if someone threatens armed insurrection, this is how the state should respond... quickly, decisively and with overwhelming numerical superiority.

There is one surprise so far, among the suspects arrested in the U.K. He's an educated professional, not some raggedy-ass fundamentalist who, presumably because his god told him to... just threw his family's future under the bus.

Dr Mohammed Asha, 26, who worked as a junior doctor at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital and the Princess Royal Hospital in Telford, and a 27-year-old woman believed to be his wife, were both arrested on the M6 in Cheshire on Saturday night.

Let's hope they bag the rest of these fanatics soon.

A culture of violence...

Meets a culture of silence at C.W. Jefferys...

At least two sexual assaults against Muslims occurred at C.W. Jefferys Collegiate, the school where 15-year-old Jordan Manners was shot to death in May.

On Wednesday, the principal and two vice-principals at Jefferys were put on "home assignment" with pay after an investigation turned up allegations that a sexual assault at the school in October was not reported to police, sources said.

We all heard school board trustee Stephanie Payne assure parents that C.W. Jefferys Collegiate was as safe a school as any in the Toronto area.

Payne said C.W. Jefferys is one of the safest schools in Toronto and parents realize it is a "very safe, compassionate school."

Turns out Steph didn't know her ass from a hole in the ground.

Which should surprise no one.

Incidents involving young people and pyrotechnics in Toronto have caused injuries and property damage in the past.

So, some kids are using fireworks like guns to shoot at each other... and apparently, our existing laws against assault and battery are not being applied.

Worth protecting

There are a couple of ways to respond when someone threatens you with violence, or in this case, actually attacks you.

This is one...

In an interview on British Broadcasting Corp. TV Sunday, Brown said Britons must realize that the terrorist threat Britain faces is "long-term and sustained'' and they must remain "constantly vigilant" about security.

"We will not yield, we will not be intimidated, and we will not allow anyone to undermine our British way of life."

There is simply no sense in trying to compromise with terrorists... it's the the clearest illustration of the "pay me now, or pay me later principle."

Lord Stevens, London's former police chief and Brown's new terrorism adviser, said: "This weekend's bomb attacks signal a major escalation in the war being waged on us by Islamic terrorists."

"This week's terrorists used the same technology, the same bomb-making techniques, the same operating methods as their brothers-in-arms in both Baghdad and Bali, Indonesia," he said.

Or you can play it like an Ontarian.

"All we can say right now is that we'll execute the warrant when it's appropriate," Const. Angie Atkinson said.
