On Wednesday, the media learned that Rob Ford may, at one point in time, have briefly been contemplated as an assassination target by two men who have since been arrested for allegedly hatching a terrorist plot to derail a VIA train. It took the ex-mayor roughly five seconds to turn this from an occasion for sympathy into one of befuddlement. “What have I done wrong to these people?” he said to reporters. “My dad adopted a Muslim in 1982.” We know quite a bit about the Ford family tree; if there’s an adopted Muslim sibling in there somewhere, the Fords have hidden him or her extremely well. CTV’s Natalie Johnsonthinks Ford may have been inaccurately referencing a one-time foster sibling. Either way, it isn’t the first time the Ford clan has made doubtful claims about its religious diversity.

His ass still has its own postal code
Why do journalists still think that anything that comes out of his pie hole has any semblance to the truth?????
Attention Worldwide Muslims: The Ford family adopted a Muslim one time so please don’t do any thing bad to them. Thanks in advance.
The unfortunate thing is there are still people who believe the Ford family ARE truthful…how else could you explain him winning his riding..and his brother coming in second in the run for Mayor??
“My dad adopted a Muslim in 1982.”
WTF?
Just when I thought that circus couldn’t get any weirder…
Ward 2 was named as such not numerically but for the average IQ level of the population.
What did the Ford Family do with their adopted Muslim?
Gitmo.
I thought it was for the number of aunts/uncles in your family who are also siblings.
if they shot Robo while he was crossing the tracks they would be able to accomplish both with one bullet.
maybe he meant sponsored one…
No wonder he’s been terrorizing Toronto.
Traded them in for a case of Crown Royal?
I understand Blob Frod is in the care of doctors. I have 2 questions:
1) do these “doctors” dispense their “medicine” in parking lots?
2) where is Jack Kvorkian when you really need him?
Terrorizing? Bad choice of words. He said he had a Muslim sibling….not a terrorist sibling! Your moronic statement makes you come across as racist, which i pray you are not. Not all Muslims (and extended family members) are terrorists….very few are and most Muslims are against terrorism. Rob Fords “terrorizing Toronto” and “cult following” as you put it… has nothing to do with any Muslim connection he may or may not have. If you meant to be funny, you failed in an epic way. Muslims DO NOT terrorize! TERRORISTS terrorize!
It’s amazing how a simple statement against Ford will cause a defensive tirade from his supporters… he must pay you well to troll the internet.
That’s to add to Doug’s wife who is from a Jewish family…
Your statement was offensive to MUSLIMS!!! Can u not read? I was only trying to point out your bad choice of words. I would actually love nothing more than if both Fords left Toronto forever.
ScarY dude
