Considering he didn't even watch the video of the thing he posted, I would imagine he wanted to slam Muslims and that disagreeing with his view point is being "PC".

No I'm just curious how you guys will approach this.

Nah, I'm just interested in what will come of this. A little poking to get the conversation started never hurt anyone.

Never hurt anyone, but it hurts the thread. The topic is an interesting one, one that deserves to be discussed but by not even watching the video, but taking a random shot at people to start you're making the thread about you, or about the shot.

The shot is directed at the people who tend to be most vocal in these threads. They are who's opinion I'm most interested in hearing.

We know one side is going to scream burn it down. I'm interested in the counter-argument.

I think the title here is very misleading.
"Calgary mosque responsible for radicalization"???
Vice never says that. Their title is "Homegrown Radicals"
5 people who joined ISIS used to pray there, but to blame responsibility on the mosque itself is extremely ignorant.

Again...Vice doesn't put blame specifically on this one mosque. You did in your title choice. So now, because they were homegrown here, do you want to still "slam" that one mosque, or should you just slam the entire city of Calgary?

Your ignorance by starting this thread, and making such comments, without even watching the video, is unbelievable.
