A broad spectrum of MUSLIM society he forgot to add.

And we keep checking out old grandmothers at the airports and let the muslims just walk by.

Tut tut, MarineMomma, you can't cause offence by 'racial' profiling ... and anyway little old grannies are a much easier target, as are tiny children hugging their teddy bears.

The grannies just might have semtex in their knitting bags and the teddy bears could well be stuffed with narcotics or worse. How very intolerant that you should pick on Muslims. Why? All terrorists to date have been either grannies or small children, everyone knows that. You should be thankful they're the ones being carefully scrutinized!

Why are we surprised? The Canadians are notoriously reluctant to take a stand in this war against universal terrorism, and do not seem to recognize the need for efficient security at all.

Here in the U.S. I, (another of those grandmothers) with a U.S. passport for four decades, and blonde hair and blue eyes, have been randomly checked at security four times in the past four years, while middle-eastern men, walk by and smirk.

A few years ago it was a U.S. Border Guard at the U.S./Canadian border in Washington State, who stopped the Islamist with the 100 pounds of explosives bound for the Los Angeles Airport.

Remember that the Canadians, like the Western Europeans, have been able to indulge their smug attitudes and socialism because of the umbrella of protection supplied by the United States. And now they, like the English and our own uber-left college professors, cannot bring themselves to condemn those who seek to destroy western civilization.
