Innocent Tourist Amr Kassem just another Goat-Bearded Jihadi.

Yes, yes, the same old politically correct stories are printed by the mainstream media, time and again, to sell us on the myth that our Muslim brethren are just like us. Just loyal Americans or Canadians who are victimized by circumstances. How sad, how touching. Recently, the taxpayer funded C.B.C. (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) served us up their usual dish of pablum and informed us that Amr Kassem, a Canadian permanent resident, who lived in Toronto but was visiting relatives in Egypt when he, uh, 'spontaneouly' decided to join the protests in Alexandria and was allegedly shot by government snipers in the back of the head and killed. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/story/2013/08/17/toronto-resident-killed-egypt-clashes-alexandria.html This article was accompanied with nice family photos of Amr with his Hijab covered wife and infant daughter standing and smiling against the backdrop of a Toronto beach on a beautiful sunny day. Fade to reality. Upon further investigation by blogger Jonathan Halevi and the Toronto Sun it turns out that this 'innocent' family man killed while on vacation in Egypt was nothing of the kind. It turns out that: "Amr Kassem’s Facebook page reveals his radical Islamic political views. Kassem expressed opposition to the Muslim Brotherhood and sided with the even more extremist Islamic Salafi movement. On August 15, a day before he was killed and while in Alexandria Egypt, Kassem changed his Facebook profile picture to the flag of the jihad. In his postings he showed support for the violent protests against the military regime and in one case favored setting fire to the Media Production City building after demonstrating in front of it." "In his answers to Internet surveys Kassem wholeheartedly endorsed the Salafi movement, espoused the implementation of Sharia law and the establishment of the Caliphate and sympathized with Qaeda’s founder Osama Bin Laden, whom he called “Mujahid” (jihad fighter)." http://jonathanhalevi.blogspot.ca/2013/08/canadian-killed-in-egypt-was-salafist.html So much for the moderate and loyal Toronto family man.
