Will no one rid me of this turbulent expertise?

Martin Rudner, a "distinguished research professor emeritus with Carleton's Norman Paterson School of International Affairs", concedes the alleged Ottawa jihadis might have meant to target government facilities - Ottawa has a few - but argues these Jihadi-Canadians may have had a grander target in view.

Multiculturalism.

Because all that Al Qaeda talk about Jews and Crusaders is as nothing compared to their, admittedly unvoiced, enmity toward Canada's sacred cows.

In related news: The Left has nothing, nothing else to say.

Canada's Parliament, National Defence Headquarters, RCMP headquarters, CSIS headquarters, CSEC headquarters (welcome CSEC readers!), JTF2's secret base that all the locals know about (oops!), the Prime Minister's Office (still unbeheaded after all these years), the American embassy, the Israeli embassy, the British high commission...

But then you don't get tenure by stating the obvious.*

Because if we do not embrace stoning for adultery as an integral part of Canada's rich cultural mosaic, the terrorists have already won.

Let's see if I am following the bouncing ball: Muslims plot to kill or convert us all and the real victims are... Muslims.

A special note to Canada's security experts: Unless vigilantism means foregoing a Skinny Gingerbread Latte (Venti), your worries about a vigilante backlash are misplaced; Canadian men have long since been unmanned and disarmed.

* I could go into much more detail as to the how and when of what to blow up in Ottawa for maximum impact but the jihadis have their own devious minds on the payroll without adding mine to their peaceful inner struggle. Though it's a pity nobody in, say, government thinks to ask because every time I visit the place I am appalled at the state of physical security. My email address is in the sidebar should anyone in a position to do something about it care to have the obvious pointed out to them.

Emerging threats: A former CSIS manager has reportedly told CTV that his sources say Parliament Hill was the target.

Someone's "sources" need to be arrested. But I point to the article as an example of the following meme.

Seeing as Canada's hall monitor is saying it I suppose I should go easy on the half-wits in the press but can we be spared this "homegrown" nonsense? At least one of the alleged jihadis turned up in Canada in 2005. All Canada did to instigate his yearning for mayhem was hand him a medical degree and a job.

Which admittedly was our exact mistake.

Update: David Harris is marginally less clueless than most ersatz experts. But don't expect him to say anything concrete about anything. The time I met him, I described the enemy's ideology as "evil" and he was rendered speechless. In fact, I would describe the look on his face as "terrified".

What would polite company think?

Update August 28, 2010: David Harris says something! Quite a bit, actually, and especially for a Canadian and a lawyer.

Stop unrestricted immigration and halt Saudi funding of subsersion in Canada.
