Quality Quote - Jihad Generation

The CBC site has been tracking the emergence of Canadian terrorism from within, and over time, it seems to be emerging from the Canadian denial syndrome. [Recently, a reporter named Kelly interviewed the head of immigration in Denmark and when he heard the official say multi-culturalism was a mistake, the reporter, with American quality objectivity, said where he came from that was racist.

One particular quote caught my attention after the arrest of the gaggle of the terrorists who couldn't shoot straight.

'The cops have a nickname for it - the jihad generation," says Mr. Thompson, president of the Mackenzie Institute, a Toronto think tank.

"These are kids at a transition, between Islamic society and Western society," he adds. "A lot of people will get militarized if they're unsure of their own identity." Plus, Thompson says, "They're just young and stupid. If you're 17, bored, restless, you want to meet girls - hey, be a radical."

Sounds exactly like the 60's.
