I have neglected my blog this week. Illness.
Two days ago, London was attacked. Britain’s Magna Carta and its Parliament are symbols of democracy.
At times, such events can be expected. Why did the attacker convert to Islam? Why did he become radicalized? We will never know, but he may have felt rejected. How else does one feel when US President Donald Trump bans Muslims from entering the United States? The attacker committed a horrible crime, but why?
Canada’s anti-Islamophobia motion
Yesterday, the Canadian government passed an anti-Islamophobia motion. The vote was not unanimous. The problem may be with the term. But Muslims are being denied access to the United States which may explain the choice of the term Islamophobia. Many Canadians are afraid, but I believe our new Canadians: Muslims, Syrians, Iraqis, Armenians, Afghans, Syriacs and Yazidis, will be fine citizens, which will reassure everyone. A few members of Parliament voted against the motion, but it was passed. Migrants and survivors of a genocide who might perish, such as the Yazidis, should be given a home.
Current Activity
I am creating a page listing my posts on Beast literature. I retrieved most of the posts on this subject. If one has no list, one is lost. New posts will be written, but I would prefer not to be too repetitive.
Condolences
I would like to express my condolences to the family and friends of the dead and wounded.
Love to everyone ♥

I wish you well Micheline. The murderer, not born a Muslim, was in his 50s and British born. That is most worrying.

It is very worrying. Brexit didn’t spare Britain. This attacker was born in England and he was an English teacher who converted to Islam and was radicalized. It’s unbelievable. The courts oppose President Trump, but Canadians whose parents or grandparents were born in the Middle East and are not Muslims cannot enter the United States. They are angry. It’s terrible. 🙂

Derrick, A smile goes a long way. It’s the current Canadian approach to Islam. It may not work. Given that we are immediately north of the 49th parallel, they cross the border. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police helps them and then adults are arrested gently. The RCMP has to know who is entering the country. It is, therefore, a world-upside-down, but it’s the only way we can help. We will never know, but if it prevents one, only one, terrorist attack, the anti-Islamophobia motion may prove helpful. In Canada, six Muslims were killed, by a French Canadian a day or so after Donald Trump’s inauguration. The young French Canadian was fond of Donald Trump and Marine Le Pen. I hope she will not be elected. There will be more attacks. She thinks France should leave the European Union. If it does, more terrorist attacks will occur and Vladimir Putin will be the world’s most prominent leader in the world. I wonder who is behind the wars in the Middle East? It’s a genuine nightmare.

J’ai l’impression que nous vivons un cauchemar. La France a beaucoup souffert et, malgré Brexit, les Britanniques n’ont pu se mettre à l’abri. Nous courons tous le même péril, y compris et surtout les États-Unis. Les Musulmans vont se venger. On ne permet plus aux Musulmans Canadiens d’entrer aux États-Unis, y compris ceux qui sont ici depuis deux ou trois générations et qui ne sont plus pratiquants. Portez-vous bien.
