The day after the raids, which took place during Ramadan, with the houses and computers belonging to the suspects still being searched, Mountie Cpl. Wayne Russett called for an emergency meeting in the name of 'cultural diversity' and 'community outreach' sending an email that stated "to show support to our Muslim brothers and sisters during Ramadan, there will be no food or drink during this most important meeting. This meeting is for one hour only, in order to observe prayer time and the breaking of the fast during Ramadan”.
Very interesting that Cpl. Russet refers to the Islamic community as "our Muslim brothers and sisters"; I guess in his eyes they're the spoilt type of brothers and sisters that always get their own way because mummy says then can simply do no wrong. During the meeting the Mounties and Ottawa police officials went as far to apologise that arrests had taken place at all during Ramadan. Now, as for the question; do the Mounties apologise to other religions? One person at this meeting aired the opinion that he doubted police would call a meeting of Christian leaders to apologise for arresting someone on Christmas Day.
But what do the Muslims living in Canada think of all this? Well Tarek Fatah, of the Muslim Canadian Congress, reckons this "is an indication of how within the RCMP there are officers in authority who do not see the threat Islamism poses to our nation, but unwittingly perform the role of useful idiots,"
Brilliant! I couldn't have put it better myself, he could of course be describing the police forces of many western countries. However, I would like to point out to Mr Fatah, that there should be no need for a Muslim Canadian Congress either.
