the hopes and dreams of simpletons…

So I’m looking out for coverage of last weekend’s Islamophobia conference at Masjid as-Salaam in Burnaby, and I find this wee summary. Not a bad, if loaded, summary, focussing mostly on why a guy like Greg Felton would’ve been there, which is a good question because he certainly wasn’t on any of the promotional material and didn’t really seem like he wanted to be there anyway, although I left before salaat so I didn’t hear him talk. So anyways, I’m peeking through the comments and all of a sudden I’m drowning in epic fail. Check it:

But does a self-professed peace activist like O’keefe understand how he is a “useful idiot” for murderers? Do they understand that a renewed Caliphate and the kind of economy and science it would support would have to entail first a mass die off and a return to some kind of medieval order? O’Keefe must have some inkling. But what about the 150 ordinary mosque members who just showed up for a talk on “Islamophobia”? Are these people, our neighbors, best considered an “enemy”?

This from a BC hack called truepeers. He goes on to say he’s not quite there yet to call me his enemy–for which I’m eternally grateful, because I’ve no idea what I’d do if he did.

And then, from an apparently unemployed schoolteacher named Dag:

I understand that it’s probably more difficult and even physically dangerous for Muslims to stand publicly against the likes of Elmasry, given the nature of Islam, given the nature of jihad, so I won’t claim all “moderate” Muslims should stand against him and his likes in public. But I do stand and cheer for those among our friends who will take the risk of physical violence or even death to do what can be done to stand up against jihad and Left dhimmi fascism. Maybe, if enough of us stand firm in public, some day Muslims will find the same courage. There is hope.

Brave, dim Dag–keep cheering, dear brother, for those people intrepid enough (apparently more intrepid than you) who suffer themselves unto the swarthy hordes to stand up to dangerous BadMen like Mohamed Elmasry. Fight on, keyboard soldiers, fight on!
