Let's give the London Muslims a chance to respond.
And here is some more London action from a few years back.
Just saying that, even if these are just extremists, I kind of see how a country can perhaps be a bit too tolerant. The same country that condemns holocaust denial will condone public threats against Israel, and Europe, all in the name of freedom of religion and multiculturalism.
I don't think we know what it's like here in North America. I can imagine that, when a society gets shit on repeatedly by an irrational extremist minority with double standards, an aggressive unwillingness to be reasoned with and a knack for using violence as an argument, people drop the PC front and start biting back. Soon enough, hardliners like Geert come along and eventually gain popular support.
I really don't know what to make of all of this.

The problem with Geert...
...is that his struggle with Islam is just meant to distract us from his real plan.
To blow up Silicon Valley.

Wintersun Update!
Why didn't anyone tell me this?
Jari has spoken!
Furthermore, check out this video. Fuck I love those Hitler/Der Ausgang remixes.

Two things
One, apparently youtube reads my mind:
It speaks to my frustration over the coverage of not only the entire situation but also everything surrounding the Israel and Palestine conflict and how news media (other than BBC which seems to have been somewhat frequently critical of Israel but even then) has portrayed the entire thing.
As for favorite places:
The old port in the morning (I know, I'm going 4D on this) before any of the tourists show up. It's quiet, you get to enjoy the scenery and the lighting is absolutely amazing. When I worked in the old port I used to go out of my way to ride my bike through there in the morning.
The industrial sector near Ubisoft. I love biking or walking around that place though not so much now that it's a big condo farm but back then I used to get this creeping sense of dread whenever I passed by there. In some places it was actually uncharacteristically cold and I could imagine that was because those places were haunted. I actually really like old abandoned warehouses for that same reason.
I don't have a third place I really like. Pretty much anywhere that's bike accessible I'm happy. I like that Montreal, at least architecturally, changes a lot. I hate going through most of downtown because it feels so generic but I enjoy the mcgill campus (minus the assholes) as much as I enjoy finding those small winding bike paths that seem to go through wooded areas only to reappear in the middle of civilization. I love those winding roads up on the hills through Westmount and Outremont. I even like biking around the big O.

Here are my favo(u)rites (much more westerno-centric and mainstream than hungus):
favo(u)rite views - the view of downtown from champlain bridge, the view of champlain bridge from victoria bridge, the view of cité du havre from bonaventure, lookout from the chalet on mt-royal & the view of old montreal from st-laurent blvd when you can see the old building juxtaposed with the new.
favo(u)rite streets - st-joseph, laurier, notre dame, those westmount streets that have dead ends near the top of the oratory,the street your mom lives on
favo(u)rite monuments - norman bethune statue near concordia, mcgill's arts building
favo(u)rite places - murray hill park, oka beach, lachine canal & atwater market, joyce park.
gotta go to work.
