Hate and condemnation - the recipe for weirdo attacks. But what about the hate that looms large in our own nation? Hate for regions. You would think that in an awesome country like ours, all regions would love each other, but instead we see disdain, insults and open condemnation of the west by federal government and easterners. As in Bill C69, the treatment of the semis that went to Ottawa, the agriculture minister skipping over Saskatchewan, the most productive agricultural region of this country. Talk about hate - will you. It is open and it is blatant!

Exactly - the hate that is spread fuels "weirdo" attacks. Stop spreading the hate has always been my thought. Same with the regional hate within Canada - it's perpetuated by haters in both eastern and western Canada. Time to smarten up and cut it out.

This is a conflict about land and resources not about religion and extremists. CBN is a Christian News Organization. "Radical Muslims murdered more than 30 Christians in Nigeria last week. This is just the latest account of systematic Islamic violence towards Christ-followers in that country."

There is no mention by CBN that Fulani tribesmen are also attacked and killed by Christian land holders

The explanation why this story doesn't get covered as much is indirectly explained in the following article.
Making sense of Nigeria's Fulani-farmer conflict
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-36139388

"What is the fighting about?

Disagreements over the use of essential resources such as farmland, grazing areas and water between herders and local farmers are said to be the major source of the fighting.

Fulani herders can travel hundreds of miles in large numbers with their cattle in search of pasture. They are often armed with weapons to protect their livestock.

They frequently clash with farmers who consistently accuse them of damaging their crops and failing to control their animals.

The Fulanis respond that they are being attacked by gangs from farming communities who try to steal their cattle and they are just defending themselves.

The clashes used to be confined to Nigeria's central region, with the mainly Christian Berom farming community in Plateau state engaging in tit-for-tat killings with Muslim nomadic herders. "

After New Zealand, Tory cancels event with anti-Muslim speaker; Scheer ripped by Harper aide for weak response - Globe and Mail

"Late Thursday, Mr. Scheer tweeted, “Freedom has come under attack in New Zealand as peaceful worshippers are targeted in a despicable act of evil. All people must be able to practice their faith freely and without fear. … There are no words strong enough to condemn this kind of vile hatred. I am praying for peace for the families of those lost and recovery for those injured."

That response was met by swift criticism online, including from Andrew MacDougall, a former spokesman for prime minister Stephen Harper, who tweeted, “Delete and try again. Name the place of worship. Name their religion. Put your arms around them. Condemn the specific pathology that drove their killer(s).”

Ms. Elghawaby said some people wonder why Mr. Scheer didn’t call out the Islamophobia underlying the attack immediately. She said people are looking to the Conservative Party and wondering: “Is this party going to stand up for the rights of everyone?"

By Friday afternoon, Mr. Scheer issued a new statement, saying he wished to express “both my deep sadness at the tragic loss of innocent life and my profound condemnation of this cowardly and hateful attack on the Muslim community.

“Houses of worship, like the two mosques attacked last night, should be places where all people can meet freely and without fear. We stand with our Muslim brothers and sisters to ensure that they remain this way. We must condemn, in the strongest terms possible, the type of extreme and vile hatred that motivated this despicable act of evil.”

Oh, OK,thanks for pointing that out, now we can rest well knowing that it is perfectly justified. Hard to fathom why you saw the need to defend such violence.
