Which one sounds more like a warmonger to you? And which one is trying to
introduce more new 'anti-terror laws' that will affect a whole lot of
citizens?

Harper:
“The fact of the matter is this, ladies and gentleman: The international
jihadist movement has declared war. They have declared war on anybody who does
not think and act exactly as they wish they would think and act. They have
declared war and are already executing it on a massive scale on a whole range
of countries with which they are in contact,” Mr. Harper said.

Obama:
"But the notion that the West is at war with Islam is an ugly lie," he said.
"And all of us, regardless of our faith, have a responsibility to reject it,"
he told a conference convened by the White House on countering violent
extremism.

The two statements aren't in conflict.

One is talking about extremists and the other is talking about a
religion as a whole.
