A Genealogy of Radical Islam
"...The development of jihadi thought is characterized by the erosion of critical constraints used to limit warfare and violence in classical Islam. Whereas most Islamic scholars throughout history have defined apostates as those who clearly leave the faith by declaring themselves non-Muslims or rejecting key tenets of Islam (prayer, the prophethood of Mohammed, monotheism, etc.), jihadis claim that any leader who does not implement and follow Islamic law (as they understand it) is an apostate.

Alberta’s future belongs to Albertans—not Ottawa.
That’s Maxime Bernier’s message on his Alberta tour. He’s calling for radical decentralization: getting Ottawa out of provincial affairs and putting decisions back in the hands of the provinces — and closer to the people who live with the consequences.
MAX’S MESSAGE: OTTAWA, GET OUT OF PROVINCIAL AFFAIRS.
Tonight, Max makes his case live from Calgary, joined by Isaias Nolasco of New Generation PPC, Nadine Wellwood Autor of Alberta Rising, and Madison and MayCee Holmes, co-hosts of At Home with Holmes.
