Don't be fooled by these acts of apologies, my friend! The Islamists in Canada do know extremely well how to take advantage of inherent weaknesses of workings of Canadian democratic polity. They work well within the system. It also appears that a monetary help is around the corner - coming from unspecified sources too.

They have adopted well-known steps of American ‘New Born Christians' methodology. All one has to do is to declare that "he is converted by taking shelter in the teachings of their Savior". The Lord then will wash away the sins of a lifetime. Mr. Clean would then emerge immediately. ! In USA notorious convicted public and religious figures - Chuck Colson of Nixon Era, Graham Franklin son of Billy Graham - and CEOs have done it. This method works in Canada too eventhogh there are far fewer scandals.

The CIC's chairman Mohamed Elmasry once said any Israeli above 18 years and of army age is a fair game for "liberation" fighters. Later, only after public criticism in the society, he apologized. It works! Believe me- here in Canada, just say, ‘I regret'! Quote selective passages from Canadian Charter of Rights if necessary to rationalize.

Leopards can't change their spots. These are all Public Relations and tactical moves.

So you don't have to feel guilty for demanding a public apology and legal costs from CIC.
