Why would they want to help the Infidel? Hmmm, I think the Koran has something to say about that.

Canadian intelligence seeks support of Muslim leaders

[...] The Muslim leaders were invited for the round table as Canada’s [Images] spy agency is reportedly frightened of potential terrorist attacks on Canadians and now are seeking the help of Muslim leaders.”I want you to help… Us doing it alone is like one hand clapping,” Ellis told the group on August 16 in Toronto.

Not many Muslims were interested in attending this round table and in fact some e-mails were reportedly circulated advising Muslim leaders to stay away from the meeting.

Ellis admitted that attendance was small, which was unfortunate for him. He conceded that prior to the meeting, certain opinion makers in the Muslim community had circulated e-mails suggesting it was best to give the meeting a pass, since no high level political officials from Ottawa were there.

It happened as “the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, CSIS and other agencies have lost credibility,” one of about 20 Muslims who came for the meeting reportedly stood up to tell Ellis.

His reference was to 18 young Muslims who were arrested two years back for allegedly conspiring to commit terrorist acts within the country, targeting important buildings and some political leaders. Charges against many of them have been dropped.

“We don’t target the Muslim community; we are trying to work with you,” Ellis said. He reportedly stressed that CSIS and RCMP lawfully zero in on the tiny percentage of Muslims who are drawn towards violent extremism, and urged Muslim leaders to get past ‘urban legend’ and read up on what judges are actually finding….

         What I really find remarkable is that muslims are not targeted more and profiling is not used more.  After all, it ain’t WASPs and little old ladies causing the trouble, it’s middle eastern, muslim men that have consistently been involved in terrorist acts.  They are the ones to go after.

      I wonder what the emails said? If you go to that meeting, you will have a fatwa on your head?
