Jun 25, 2011 - @Wouldman2 I tell you how, the fucking Canadian police and CISIS sent the wrong information about a Canadian Citizen who has nothing to do with Al Qaida. that he was an Al Qaida member to the USA officials. No country..No country ever dose this to their own Citizens. In other words CANADA DID THIS TO HIM. When are you people going to wake up. Today it is the Muslim Canadians who are the target of this evil act but remember once this jinni is out it will hunt non Muslim Canadians as well one day.
