I’m happy a Canadian political leader is finally willing to negotiate with terrorist groups. These disenfranchised Muslim extremist groups deserve just as much respect and representation as any group of political lobbyists. Since Harper has already admitted that military options cannot achieve total victory against these kinds of tactics, it’s time we started considering how our eventual submission should be negotiated. If we wait until they achieve complete victory, we won’t have any bargaining chips with which to secure a more harmonistic cohabitation. While certain points are obviously un-negotiable—like the necessity of our complete conversion to Islam— perhaps if we agree to submit now we can secure basic liberties like the right for women “to feel sunlight on their faces” (like it was the case in pre-invaded Iraq). Let’s keep in mind who is the aggressor here. For example, Israel has a few rockets launched into its borders—most of which don’t hit anything at all– and it thinks it has the right to shoot back at the rocket launchers. The incredible insolence of it all really ruffles my feathers. When are people going to realize we don’t have to die? Islam is a religion of peace and all it requires of us is our complete faith and devotion.
… but seriously. I’m glad the NDP has decided to return to its looniest habits. They were starting to have political agendas which could convince the unreflective listener that they weren’t completely nuts.
