Judging by its
Facebook events page, it has, unfortunately, not died
under the weight of its own stupidity. Picking a local mosque at random as to execute a stunt designed to do nothing but piss off the local muslim population seems particularly deranged at this juncture in history, but Ron Banerjee from
Canadian Hindu Advocacy is ready to rock. Over 300 people say they will attend, but of course these are Facebook people so who knows how many will really show? It might not take many to create a scene of ugliness.
I wouldn't worry too much over this. None of the attempts the Islamophobes have made to provoke Muslims in Canada have worked. In fact, the stunts only serve to counter their claims about Muslims.
ReplyDeleteAlthough now he also evidently wants to screen the anti-Islam movie that has caused a storm in the Middle East.

We'll be commenting on this on our blog a bit later, but thought you might want to take a crack at it first.
I know i have been trolling their facbook page a tad too much (it is actually quite fun, and Ron mentioned me on one of his interviews as a "known leftist")
ReplyDeleteIt appears you and everyone else was right. about 10-20 people showed up, ironically without dogs. No one from the JDL showed up (probably cause the event was promoted on Stormfront). about 50 or so muslims showed up with dogs to counter.
Long story short there are a few discussions on the facebook page discussing how much of a failed event this was, with our friend ron banerjee claiming victory.
Oh and beyond Banerjee and Dharminder, it seems their good friend Mark Harding and Eric Brazau also attended. :)
ReplyDeleteAre you willing to risk your dog's life because of someone else's imaginary friend?
