The Liberals really hit a home run with this one.
On one hand, they are showing support for the Muslim community with very minimal effort and without having to make any significant commitments. Should be good for some votes next time around.
At the same time, they have a huge portion of the right frothing at the mouth and providing new sound bites and ammunition for ads seemingly every day. I think with the exception of Chong and Bernier, all the Conservative leadership hopefuls have said a fair amount of silly things that could come back to bite them.
