This week..

I decided to resurrect this blog for this post..

I am completely disgusted by some of what's gone on in the world the last 7 days.

First the attacks in Paris and the attack in Beirut. Now, Beirut has been terrorized for a while. Paris is another matter. I feel bad for everyone in both places.

But then there was what can best be described as a cowardly reaction to the attack in Paris. And this reaction happened right here in Peterborough Ontario.

Peterborough has the area's only mosque in the Kawartha Muslim Religious Association. On Saturday night, some cowardly assclowns decided to set the place on fire. The only nice thing I can say is they waited till the place was empty.

I can't believe something like this would happen here. Police are treating it as a hate crime.

I hope the Muslim population in the area don't believe the actions of a few represent everyone. I don't believe the terrorist groups represent all Muslims. I liken the terror groups to the other religious extremist groups that exist in every religion.

The nice thing about this story though is other churches in Peterborough have offered space for the displaced group until repairs could be made. A crowdfunding campaign has already raised the money required to make the repairs. I like how the city has banded together to help the displaced mosque.

I hope this was an isolated thing by some misguided assclown. I also hope to never hear of this happening again.
