Mind you, Bambi has\nposted on this topic yesterday (see further below). Her words were not as harsh\nas Mr. Martineau, although she shares his disappointment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This being said, Bambi is not surprised because Mr.\nTrudeau must be afraid of Islamists (with a reason!). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She feels like telling him today: Mr. Trudeau, you\ntell us you love women and gay people (thank you). Islamists are not nice to\nneither of them. They control the former and they kill the latter. Mr. Erdogan\nhas not been nice to neither Armenians, nor Kurds (the latter are Muslims, and\nyou do like the latter, thank you). Mr. Erdogan is being nasty to Mr. Macron,\nto France, and to \u201cuniversal values\u201d, to use the French President\u2019s own words. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To both Mr. Erdogan and Mr. Nasrallah (Hezbollah\u2019s\nleader) and to the whole circus of boycott of French products in the Middle\nEast and into Pakistan, Bambi feels like saying: Enough is enough. France is\nsovereign in its own country. You do not speak for neither French people nor\nfor Islamists\u2026 and surely NOT for Muslims (AND Non-Muslims) there. So please\nshut up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for Mr. Trudeau, without wanting to, your silence\nmay put Bambi\u2019s family in Beirut in danger (not just France\u2019s citizens). The entire\nworld needs to be firm with both Islamists and those who agitate them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for observant Muslims, with all due respect, love, and compassion, Bambi will say the following: Please learn to develop a thick skin (especially if you live in France or the Western world, which values freedom). If you live in the Arab or Muslim world, please ask yourself whether the Prophet Mohamed truly need you to boycott food to defend his honour. Bambi may be wrong, but something tells her that he would be sad to know you are not eating delicious French goodies (especially in times of pandemics!). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bambi is saying the above and she has Muslim close\nrelatives, not just friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, she is lucky to come from a country with moderate\nMuslims, even those who are religious (OK minus Mr. Nasrallah and other\nradicals, whether from his group or not).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Friends in Moncton (some originally from Lebanon!) often\nassume she is Muslim (and vice versa ?).\nThey are surprised when they realize that she is not. She could have been. She\nis everything and nothing. Yet, she has her own beliefs in her heart. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Bambi\u2019s mind, even if she believes in Jesus in her\nheart, she thinks that you have all the right to make fun of him (and\/or of\nJeovah, Prophet Mohamed, Mother Earth if you prefer, other Gods like Hindu\nones, and\/or of Buddha). Even if in her own mind, Jesus is God (OK + son of God\nand all the rest\u2026). So, for her and those who share her belief, he is not just\na prophet or a good teacher or a historic Jewish figure. Yet, she does not\nimpose this belief on others, not even on her spouse (+ vice versa, of course).\nShe does not mind being teased about this Jesus or seeing funny books or jokes\nabout him. What matters to her is her own beliefs or not, not others\u2019 beliefs\nor not. So please, give France a break and stop trying to destabilize it! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>OK, enough of Bambi\u2019s\nblahblahblah and here is Mr. Martineau\u2019s article, published in the <em>Journal\nde Montr\u00e9al<\/em>, and entitled: \u201c<em>Shame on you, Mr. Trudeau<\/em> [<em>Honte \u00e0\nvous, monsieur Trudeau!<\/em>].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.journaldemontreal.com\/2020\/10\/26\/honte-a-vous-monsieur-trudeau\">https:\/\/www.journaldemontreal.com\/2020\/10\/26\/honte-a-vous-monsieur-trudeau<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>\u201cAt the time\nof writing (last night at 6 p.m.), Justin Trudeau has yet to say anything about\nthe horrific assassination by an Islamist activist of French professor Samuel\nPaty.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Nothing.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Not a single\nword.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>RADIO SILENCE<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>On June 5, our PM joined thousands of demonstrators in Ottawa to protest the killing of African American George Floyd by a racist cop.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Our national Kid Kodak, who never misses a chance to show the whole world how heartfelt he is, had his photo taken on one knee on the ground.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>He remained in this position for 8 minutes 46 seconds, the time that George Floyd was tortured below the knee of White Policeman Derek Chauvin.<\/em><em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>But when a teacher &#8211; a teacher, damn it! &#8211; gets beheaded by a racist Islamist who hates all who are not Muslims, especially if they have the nerve to be French, radio silence.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Monsieur Compassion has gone to get his Bovril.
