    • This guy is dumb. If conflict was a potential outcome of the information that has now been leaked, such opinions should have not been expressed in the first place, regardless of the parties expectation of forever-lasting confidentiality.

    • Not trying to bash to poster of this article, but the way you phrased the title/description, although comical it's a little insulting. Not to me personally, but, google helps for everything.

      1. Canukistanian

      A term used in jest to refer to a Canadian, the Canadian-English dialect, or Canadian culture as a whole in post-9/11 America. This playfully derogatory term came to fruition as a parody of xenophobic pseudo-nationalistic phrases such as 'freedom fries' that came into existence after the terrorist activities of September 11, 2001, and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq that followed. Canukistanian is a combination of the word 'Canuk' and the generic phrase 'istanian' which is often tagged onto other words to imply deviance and un-Americanism. Canukistanians are citizens of Canukistania.

      Ok, so you're talking about Canadians, right? lol

      on the other hand, a 'fatwa' is a strong religious ruling, usually coming from a person of authority or importance in Islam. It kind of sounds like you're mocking the whole idea. This is some stuff I'm reading about right now and a fatwa is something to be taken very seriously in Islam. It's a whole process that can result in heavy consequences, maybe something like an assassination, maybe a banning. but you're using pretty bold words for simply an interview with a professor on a new channel. When I read the headline I literally thought that some big religious leader issued a fatwa on Julian Assange, which wouldn't be surprising considering the amount of information leaked recently and the things that could result from it. The whole wikileaks recent spill of information can lead to ton of damage going down in the Middle East, obviously including plenty of other countries as well. But I wouldn't be surprised if someone literally did issue a fatwa. This, is just a news interview. I don't really think that's something to joke about...

      just saying.
