okay, this? This is not cool.

Canada's oldest Jewish day school was struck by a firebomb yesterday

Note to religious fanatics assholes everywhere: Play nice or leave. Keep your damn quarrels and antisocial tendencies out of my country. I was going to say "keep them where they belong" but I can't think of anywhere they belong, so do the world a favour and try to cultivate a better outlook on life, mmmkay?

What is the point of coming here if you're going to bring your narrowminded bigoted ways with you?

EDIT: That sounds sorta anti-immigrant, which it wasn't meant to be. Note to assholes born in this country: You suck, too. More, in fact, because there's less excuse for you.

Either way, not cool.

There is something eerie about all the newspaper covers this morning. The photos of the burned library, the burned books...like a nasty time warp.

Agreed... this isn't a clash of civilizations... this is anachronistic nutbars versus our civilization. I don't care whether they come from within or without, whoever did this should be locked up, and if they reach for anything when the police arrive, probably shot at.

Barbarism. Ugh.
Burning books = bad.
Burning children's library = subhuman.
Threatening that the kids will be next (as some reporting is hinting was done in the note) = sub-subhuman.

Still, on the upside... the fact that something which upsets us a lot here hasn't made a blip in the world news is indicative of our relatively low barbarian levels here. It's not in the Australian, Google News (.ca) hasn't picked up on it... I mean, no deaths, looking more and more like a few messed-up teenagers... still disturbing, but other places' extremists make ours look like amateurs.

Agreed. That is sort of weirdly comforting...
