I do hope Macleans contacts the Ombudsman for the Province of Ontario to file a formal complaint about both the OHRC and specifically Hall's press release. It is an absolute abuse of process and powers.
Posted at 2008-04-18 05:52:34 [PermaLink]I confess a very small part of me is sorry MacLean's didn't give in. I wouldn't have read their drivel, but I would have loved to see that cover!
In the good old days you knew how to protect yourself from savages because they looked, talked and threatened like...well, savages. To-day they show up in expensive suits, smile polititely and quote UN resolutions on human rights at you.
It's ironic that this case, given the outrageous behavior of the various HRC's, may well be the reason the liberal fascists running the so called human rights commissions are brought under control.
Regarding Faisal Joseph's statement: "after Maclean’s published Mark Steyn’s ludicrous allegations that Muslims are engaged in a global conspiracy to take over the West in a "bloody" civil war,"
All Muslims? Of course not, but one can easily go into MEMRI or Google this topic and find hundreds of statements confirming this goal.
Re Maclean's statement:
"This is more letters than we've published on any other subject in recent years, and several of those we did publish were part of a campaign run by the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) in Washington and its affiliate in Ottawa"
Maclean's should have provided a little backgroun don CAIR.
"The executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), Nihad Awad, participated in a three-day summit of U.S.-based HAMAS members and supporters in 1993."
"CAIR, which touts itself as America’s premier Muslim civil rights organization, was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the terror support trial of the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development and five of its officials. Omar Ahmad, who founded CAIR with Awad in 1994 and was previously identified as attending the Philadelphia meeting, also was named as an unindicted co-conspirator." [External Link]
"Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith but to become dominant he said. The Koran .. should be the highest authority in America and Islam the only accepted religion on earth he said."
This statement was made by Omar M. Ahmad, Chairman of the board of CAIR. [External Link]
"In reality, CAIR is something quite different. For starters, it's on the wrong side in the war on terrorism. One indication came in October 1998, when the group demanded the removal of a Los Angeles billboard describing Osama bin Laden as "the sworn enemy," finding this depiction "offensive to Muslims."
"The same year, CAIR denied bin Laden's responsibility for the twin East African embassy bombings. As Hooper saw it, those explosions resulted from some vague "misunderstandings of both sides." (A New York court, however, blamed bin Laden's side alone for the embassy blasts.)"
"CAIR consistently defends other militant Islamic terrorists too. The conviction of the perpetrators of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing it deemed "a travesty of justice." The conviction of Omar Abdel Rahman, the blind sheikh who planned to blow up New York City landmarks, it called a "hate crime."
"The head of CAIR's Los Angeles office, Hussam Ayloush, routinely uses the term "zionazi" when referring to Israelis. CAIR co-hosted an event in May 1998 at which an Egyptian militant Islamic leader, Wagdi Ghunaym, called Jews the "descendants of the apes."

I could go on, there's lots more but I think the picture is pretty clear when it comes to CAIR and their agenda.
I agree. Mark Steyn isn't saying Islam is the enemy. He's saying that leftist, self-loathing, postmodern marxists are undermining civilization, and that the muslims will take over because what people really want, is to live in fear of a righteous God, and if they can't have Abraham, they'll take Allah.
I have a cave where I am stock piling canned food and radiation suits for when the war against western civilization reaches our shores. We must not let the NDP loving islamic post-modernists, sap and impurify our bodily fluids.
