Canadian PM criticized by Islamic group

Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper has been criticized by the Organization for Islamic Cooperation. His remarks regarding the threat of Islamic terrorism were not well received by the OIC who accuse him of stirring controversy.

The Organization of Islamic-Cooperation (OIC), which represents 57 member states as the “collective voice of the Muslim World” has criticized remarks made by Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper. During an interview with CBC News that aired on Sept. 8, Harper stated that

    “The major threat is still Islamicism.”

Although the interview has drawn criticism from other quarters the OIC did not publicly comment until Sept 13.
As Harper spoke of the threat of terrorism he said that the Islamic radicals posed the greatest danger. He went on to say

    "When people think of Islamic terrorism, they think of Afghanistan, or maybe they think of some place in the Middle East, but the truth is that threat exists all over the world,”adding that Canada keeps an eye on home grown Islamic radicals.

A Leader With Common Sense!!!!
