Fade to Black - Triumph of the Irrational - November 1, 2024
Archie: [throwing his hands up] You just can't win! Western civilization is about to be defeated by an army of morons.
Uzza: You underestimated the forces aligned against you. Your defeat was engineered by the greatest strategist and military mind of all times. He even left a blueprint that, in your arrogance, you could not be bothered to read.
From Remembering Uzza - If Islam Was Explained to Me in a Pub:
If you can’t be bothered to read the Koran to save yourselves, Fade to Black may do in its stead. It’s not that much longer than Allah’s book, and you won’t have to read it more than once to understand what it’s all about.
The Canadian Government Complicit in Trafficking Girls to ISIS
October 27, 2024
Mother that Canada refused to repatriate has died in Turkey CBC, October 25, 2024. The mother, known only as F. G., as a young woman was probably assisted by an agent of the Canadian government to reach the Islamic State. The Canadian government is not only responsible for her death because without the smuggler in its employ she might not have been able join the terrorist organization, but also for failing to warn her, and others like her, about what to expect.
The Wudu That You Do
October 26, 2024
The Bedford affair is now a national debate on welcoming immigrants to Quebec and the place of religion in schools... Some teachers prayed mainly during their free time in classrooms or performed their ablutions in communal toilets, according to the ministry’s report. In rare cases, the report states, these practices were carried out in front of students. The Ottawa Citizen, October 26, 2024
In 2006, a human rights complaint was filed with the Québec Human Rights Commission (Commission des droits de la personne et des droits de la jeunesse) asking the Commission to find fault with the School of Engineering of the University of Quebec (l'École de technologie supérieure) for denying Muslims the right to wash their feet in the school's washroom sinks, and that signs prohibiting such activities were a slight against Muslims. The outcome!
Women?!
October 25, 2024
There are the women who embrace a religion that hates them, and then there are those who are attracted to Donald Trump. A not insignificant minority (40% NY Times) that will make a second Trump presidency a reality; an outcome that will give credence to Muhammad's assessment of their intelligence.
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
The women asked, "O Allah's Apostle! What is deficient in our intelligence and religion?"
He said, "Is not the evidence of two women equal to the witness of one man?"
They replied in the affirmative.
He said, "This is the deficiency in her intelligence. Isn't it true that a woman can neither pray nor fast during her menses?"
The women replied in the affirmative.
He said, "This is the deficiency in her religion."

Get That Picture Out of My House
October 24, 2024
Afghan province bans all media from showing images of living things to comply with Taliban laws, CTV Oct 24, 2024
Unlike in the Torah, there is nothing in the Koran about graven images, or any type of images for that matter. It’s all the angel Gabriel’s fault who told Muhammad, during a visit at his home, that angels did not enter houses where pictures or dogs could be found. Read to the end of Canada Day 2008.
From this visit, and subsequent hadiths on the subject, grew an entire theology about pictures—at the time paintings, frescos and embroidery—being an act of creation that was an infringement on Allah's domain. This is why every artist, from the Stone Age man who made the drawings of animals on the walls of the cave at Lascaux, and every other human who took up his art or molded a figure out of clay, will not have a good time on Judgment Day. Allah will ask them to breathe life into their creations, and failing to do so, He and his entourage will have a good laugh, before He casts them all into Hell to burn for an eternity along with their works of art.
Teachers Raised on Scriptures Beating Kids in Québec Schools
October 24, 2024
"An investigation into a climate of fear at a Montreal primary school has reignited a debate about secularism in Quebec’s education system... Quebec’s education minister says the province’s secularism law, known as Bill 21, was not being respected at the school... His comments follow a report released earlier this month that found a group of teachers at Bedford school, many of North African descent, subjected children to physical and psychological violence... and that [they] were influenced by the local mosque. " Globe and Mail, Oct. 24, 2024
In a TV interview, Quebec’s education minister, Bernard Drainville, revealed that other schools were being investigated for the type of activity reported at Bedford.
The Prophet said nothing about psychological violence when disciplining children for not doing what they are told, such as not saying their prayers.
Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As:
The Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) said: Command your children to pray when they become seven years old, and beat them for it (prayer) when they become ten years old.

The Beginning of the End of 1,400-Year-Old Feud
October 20, 2024
"Before Hamas’s Oct. 7 attacks, Saudi Arabia was open to forging stronger ties with the Israelis. Now, a year into the war in Gaza, it is warming up to its traditional enemy, Iran." New York Times October 20, 2024
Israel’s unconscionable, indiscriminate, retaliatory slaughter of thousands of women and children and its steadfast refusal to grant Palestinians a state while continuing to settle their land may succeed in ending a 1,400-year-old feud that has probably saved the world from being overrun by Islamists. The Jews will be the first to pay the price of reconciliation between Sunnis and Shias; then the rest of us.
The CBC as Purveyor of Misinformation About Halal
October 18, 2024
In a posting Fast-food chains serving up halal food with a side of misinformation, expired certificates, October 18, 2024, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation wrote:
In order for food to be considered halal, it must be prepared according to Islamic guidelines. For meat like chicken, beef or lamb, that means the animal must first be in good health and treated humanely.
Halal is the opposite of treating an animal ‘humanely’: The agony of halal | The anthropological impact of killing animals the halal way.
Three Failures
October 16, 2024
Lately I have been sharing too much with people I barely know, including snippets of my favourite video, that of my late wife’s fiftieth birthday. While pointing her out to my friendly waitress, I mentioned that one of the last things she said to me was that I was the smartest man she had ever met. What a pretentious jerk I imagined her thinking as I left Abby’s Wine Bar. There was no time to provide context, so I will try to do so here.
Three failed career choices is not a sign of a smart person, but a delusional one. The reason I survived my failures was that they did not stop her from believing in me. She knew that after she was gone, there would be no one to encourage me to persevere, and she wanted me to persevere.
My first failure was the result of ignoring the advice of Sophocles who, in Antigone, warned us: “None love the messenger who brings bad news” and informed my superiors, at the then of Canadian Department of Foreign Affairs (Global Affairs), about my discovery of a multi-million dollar fraud on the Canadian taxpayers and being put in an impossible situation.
After my firing, I built a computer application using leading edge Canadian software that I used as my calling card to get customers. My last client was Bell Canada Enterprises for whom, with the help of the smartest manager I have ever met, beat Google to Google, only to have new management abandon the project, and the Canadian government declaring the software that allowed us to do the impossible, to be non-compliant with archaic American standards that it had adopted—a death knell for my for application and my business.
It was after 9/11 when I picked up a copy of the Koran in the hope of understanding what happened that fateful day and deciding to write about it. It is a failure in progress. Lucette would understand.
The Dead Children of Gaza
October 15, 2024
Thousands of dead children, and counting, from Israeli bombs and guns will not deter Hamas. Not unlike the Taliban, dead children are not a disincentive. On December 16, 2014, six Taliban entered a school in the Pakistani city of Peshawar and slaughtered 141 people, including 132 children between eight and eighteen years of age. How a Taliban supporter justified the killing of children:
Human life only has value among you worldly materialistic thinkers. For us, this human life is only a tiny, meaningless fragment of our existence. Our real destination is the Hereafter. We don’t just believe it exists, we know it does. Death is not the end of life. It is the beginning of existence in a world much more beautiful than this. As you know, the [Urdu] word for death is “intiqall.” It means transfer, not end.
Paradise is for those of pure hearts. All children have pure hearts. They have not sinned yet… They have not yet been corrupted by [their kafir parents]. We did not end their lives. We gave them new ones in Paradise, where they will be loved more than you can imagine. They will be rewarded for their martyrdom. After all, we also martyr ourselves with them. The last words they heard were the slogan of Takbeer [Allah u Akbar]. Allah Almighty says himself in Surhah Al-Imran [3:169-170] that they are not dead. You will never understand this. If your faith is pure, you will not mourn them, but celebrate their birth into Paradise.

POST-MORTEM
My everyman's writings on the Koran, Muhammad and Islam are part of what, with Lucette's passing, became a solitary campaign against the willful ignorance that will be our undoing.
What happens to boreal.ca after I am gone is one thing, my books quite another. In Remembering Uzza, a character is prosecuted under a law that makes it a criminal offence to cause anyone “dogmatic distress” because of something they said or wrote. Under legislation making its way through Parliament that type of offence will likely become reality.
While Bill C-63 is ostensibly aimed at what is posted online, under new powers granted the Canadian Human Rights Commissioner by the legislation, they will be allowed to entertain and rule on any complaints filed by anyone alleging to have suffered the equivalent of dogmatic distress, including from what has yet to be said or published. My books will definitely cause some readers to experience “dogmatic distress”, especially my latest and last: Fade to Black.
In my last will and testament I have instructed my executor to transfer all my published and unpublished material, including cover art, into the public domain. You will be free to publish any or all of my books under your own label, just give credit where credit is due. To make it easy, contents of all my books is available as web pages and as free downloadable PDFs. You may want to get ready now.
Cheers!
