   Steven Blaney, Public Safety Minister in Harper government:   
      
   "If we click on the Internet, and a site is hosted in Canada, and   
   promotes jihadism and says: 'Kill all the infidels wherever they are   
   around the world', I believe it goes against Canadian values," said Blaney.   
      
   The minister compared jihadist declarations to Nazi propaganda, saying   
   "the Holocaust did not begin in the gas chambers, it began with words."   
      
   During his presentation to the Commons committee on Tuesday, Blaney said   
   terrorists have declared war on Canada because "they hate our society   
   they hate our values."

   George W Bush:   
      
   "You know, one of my concerns was the farther we got away from September   
   the 11th, the more likely it would be that some in our country might not   
   think the enemy still existed. But they do. And they're nothing but a   
   bunch of cold-blooded killers. That's all they are. People in our   
   country wonder why, why would somebody hate America. It's because we   
   love freedom, that's why. We love the idea that free people can worship   
   and almighty God any way they so choose in America. We value the freedom   
   for people to speak their mind in this country. We value a free press.   
   We value freedom. And the more we value freedom, the more they hate us.   
   That's why. That's why the enemy still exists."- Speech at Louisville   
   Kentucky   
      
   "States like these [Iran, Iraq, North Korae], and their terrorist   
   allies, constitute an axis of evil, arming to threaten the peace of the   
   world.  By seeking weapons of mass destruction, these regimes pose a   
   grave and growing danger.  They could provide these arms to terrorists,   
   giving them the means to match their hatred.  They could attack our   
   allies or attempt to blackmail the United States.  In any of these   
   cases, the price of indifference would be catastrophic." - State of the   
   Union 2002

   See what Harper and his Cons are up to?  They want all Canadians to   
   think that the jihadist war is about 'our values' being hated.   
      
      
      
   Here's the reality:   
      
   Why do terrorists hate America enough to give up their lives in order to   
   deal the country such mortal blows?  Of course it,s not America the   
   terrorists hate; it,s American foreign policy.   
      
   It's what the United States has done to the world in the past half   
   century -- all the violence, the bombings, the depleted uranium, the   
   cluster bombs, the assassinations, the promotion of torture, the   
   overthrow of governments, and more.   
      
   The terrorists -- whatever else they might be -- are also rational human   
   beings; which is to say that in their own minds they have a rational   
   justification for their actions. Most terrorists are people deeply   
   concerned by what they see as social, political or religious injustice   
   and hypocrisy, and the immediate grounds for their terrorism is often   
   retaliation for an action of the United States.   
      
   Most Americans find it difficult in the extreme to accept the   
   proposition that terrorist acts against the United States can be viewed   
   as revenge for Washington,s policies abroad. They believe that the US is   
   targeted because of its freedom, its democracy, its modernity, its   
   wealth, or just being part of the West.   
      
   But government officials know better.  A Department of Defense study in   
   1997 concluded that: "Historical data show a strong correlation between   
   US involvement in international situations and an increase in terrorist   
   attacks against the United States."  Former president Jimmy Carter, some   
   years after he left the White House, was unambiguous in his concordance   
   with such a sentiment:  "We sent Marines into Lebanon and you only have   
   to go to Lebanon, to Syria or to Jordan to witness first-hand the   
   intense hatred among many people for the United States because we bombed   
   and shelled and unmercifully killed totally innocent villagers -- women   
   and children and farmers and housewives -- in those villages around   
   Beirut. ... As a result of that ... we became kind of a Satan in the   
   minds of those who are deeply resentful."   
      
   The terrorists responsible for the bombing of the World Trade Center in   
   1993 sent a letter to the New York Times which stated, in part: "We   
   declare our responsibility for the explosion on the mentioned building.   
     This action was done in response for the American political,   
   economical, and military support to Israel the state of terrorism and to   
   the rest of the dictator countries in the region."

   Transcript of Michael Zehaf-Bibeau's message:  (minutes before he took   
   the life of a Canadian soldier and entered the Parliament buildings)   
      
   “To those who are involved and listen to this movie, this is in   
   retaliation for Afghanistan and because Harper wants to send his troops   
   to Iraq.   
      
     “So we are retaliating, the mujahedeen of this world. Canada’s   
   officially become one of our enemies by fighting and bombing us and   
   creating a lot of terror in our countries and killing us and killing our   
   innocents.  So, just aiming to hit some soldiers just to show that   
   you’re not even safe in your own land, and you gotta be careful.   
      
     “So, may Allah accept from us.  It’s a disgrace you guys have   
   forgotten God and have you let every indecency and things running your   
   land.  We don’t, we don’t go for this.  We are good people, righteous   
   people, believers of God and believing his law and his Prophets, peace   
   be upon them all.  That’s my message to all of you in this, Inshallah,   
   we’ll not cease until you guys decide to be a peaceful country and stay   
   to your own and I-, and stop going to other countries and stop occupying   
   and killing the righteous of us who are trying to bring back religious   
   law in our countries.   
      
     “Thank you.”
