How judgemental of you.I don't care if you meant what you wrote, you're wrong plain and simple.

If there were personal reasons I would say that it wasn't terrorism.Hypothetically if I hate my neighbour and beat the crap out of him is that terrorism? No - its assault cause bodily harm.
I think you're missing his point.
If someone wanted to say all black people are illiterate dumb savages who are only good for picking cotton, do I need to entertain that point of view or can I just call it wrong?How judgemental of you.
I just know what I read in the papers.The Asian women was not about Asian, but about sexual inadequacies.

what you are alluding to is the same far right idiots marching around chanting you will not replace us, shooting up walmarts because of immigration, shooting up mosques full of muslims and churches full of black people, have a equal partner in everyone in the mainstream left wing of the political spectrum.When people write articles for mainstream media advocating illiberal treatment on the bases of ideological and policy differences, and those opinions are published by said media, and there is almost no objection and actually quite a bit of expressed solidarity and agreement, that is mainstream. The moderate left and centre left can not define away the excesses of their zeal of the past few years.
someone who wants more gun control, same as a far right terrorist.
So I identify as center left. Am I vile?Not "same"; "vile". The examples I enumerated: "censorship, disemployment, physical assault, and criminal punishment".

Motive in Georgia spa shootings uncertain, but Asian Americans fearful

I've checked out some of the links you post on here. I'll stick with The National Post, thank you very much.Time to start thinking for yourself.
I like the NP. They do decent factchecking and while their slant is to the right nobody can accuse them of being bias left wing media.I've checked out some of the links you post on here. I'll stick with The National Post, thank you very much.
You say you don't like Islam but then go on to specifically talk about radical Islam.I don't like Islam,
I do not believe this to be the case in Canada. There are a few fringe mosques with controversial Imans, but they are just that, fringe. Widespread, you do not hear Muslims in Canada calling for suppression of freedoms, rolling back womens rights or curtailing personal freedoms.it is a highly political movement with the express aim of putting one group above all others and suppress freedom of expression, women rights and personal liberties.
Most organized religions are just that, organized. But to what end? To overtake Canadian society? We don't have signs of that.It is highly organized and able to use our guilt to its advantage.
I agree that radicals of every type are horrible for society, but people, again, need to learn to separate the average run of the mill person who represents the majority of every group who just wants to live their lives in peace, and those who would do us harm.What this POS did is reprehensible and what the idiot did is to hand a gift to the radical Islamists to further their agenda. The radicals like these type of attacks as it pushes the more moderates into their area of influence.
I support people like Ayaan Hirsi Ali who work to deconstruct radical Islams messaging and expose their methodology. Until Islam goes through it's own reformation, I cannot support it here in Canada, because it's primary messaging is against the core values of Canada.
So I identify as center left. Am I vile?
The mainstream leads to the suggestion that the majority in a certain group identify that way. The dominant or conventional thinking of most being that way.I suppose it depends on how you feel about censorship, criminalization of policy differences, etc.
But that's irrelevant. "the mainstream has people" is not synonymous with "everyone".
Yet in Canada Islam isn't trying to put in place any of their laws or doctrines.Strictly understood, Islam is a political movement. Most religions are to some extent (in laying down rules and laws and whatnot), but the core of Islam has not really gotten to the separation of church and state yet.
When the Sunni Muslim population reaches a critical mass, then the radicals begin to exert their pressure on the rest, they take the long view.Yet in Canada Islam isn't trying to put in place any of their laws or doctrines.
They mostly preach to their followers and leave well enough alone. There is no Islamic party with any large following of muslims. Muslim Canadians vote more for the LPC which is the party of abortion, Gay and LGBTQ rights, legal weed and countless other ideals that do not square with islam.
