Dumb and dumber

Did Toronto Star hire Iowahawk to write for them, or what? No offence, I like Iowahawk, he often writes great satire. It's just that I did not expect to find so much satire in a news article (via LGF).

"In investigators' offices, an intricate graph plotting the links between the 17 men and teens charged with being members of a homegrown terrorist cell covers at least one wall. And still, says a source, it is difficult to find a common denominator."

For fuck's sake, people. This is getting pathological. The same page lists profiles of 11 adult terror suspects. Fahim Ahmad, Zakaria Amara, Asad Ansari, Shareef Abdelhaleen, Qayyum Abdul Jamal, Mohammed Dirie, Yasim Abdi Mohamed, Amin Mohamed Durrani, Steven Vikash Chand alias Abdul Shakur, Ahmad Mustafa Ghany and Saad Khalid. Do you need a Sherlock-fucking-Holmes to figure out a fucking common denominator?

I can understand perfectly well the normal healthy manifestations of political correctness, like reminding your readers that roughly 600000 Muslims live in Canada and only 17 of them are believed to be involved in this particlular plot. What I don't understand is the denial of the obvious to the point that it starts sounding like fairly good satire.
