WARNING FROM THE NORTH – AT 9:16 A.M. ET:   Under Steve Harper, Canada has emerged as a more stalwart defender of Western values, and Western lives, than America under Obama.  Now comes a warning from the north about the Muslim Brotherhood, toward which Obama has been unduly sympathetic.  From CBC: 

The Canadian government should consider investigating the activities of the Muslim Brotherhood, which has entrenched itself in North America and represents a greater systemic threat than al-Qaeda, according to a newly released report on the group.

“The aim of the group in North America is to weaken and destroy the free and open societies within Canada and the U.S.A. from within and replace them with the heavily politicized views of [founder] Hassan Banna, Sayyid Qutb and the Muslim Brotherhood,” according to the report, entitled The Muslim Brotherhood in North America (Canada/U.S.).

The report, written by Tom Quiggin, a court expert on terrorism and member of the Terrorism and Security Experts of Canada Network, raises concerns about the Brotherhood’s alleged ties to Canadian organizations, some which have either been accused of being terrorist organizations or alleged to have links to extremist groups.

Based in Egypt, the Brotherhood, which maintains it rejects violence, was labelled a terrorist organization by the interim Egyptian government last December, months after a military coup toppled the democratically elected president Mohammed Morsi. Egypt has also been cracking down on members of the organization, and an Egyptian court recently sentenced to death the group’s leader and 682 supporters.

This year, British Prime Minister David Cameron announced he had ordered an inquiry into the group’s activities in the U.K.

COMMENT:  If such an investigation were urged in the current United States, faculties and editorial writers around the nation would erupt with cries of "Islamophobia."  We have become a nation that refuses to name its enemies.  I hope the probe is started in Canada.  I have no doubt it will be very revealing.
