Beware of imitators!

Liberal MP Irwin Cotler, himself a Jew, accused the Conservatives of "false, misleading, prejudicial and pernicious slander."

2009-11-20T10:16:00.002-05:00

Conservative MP Pierre Poilievre, Harper's parliamentary secretary, responded that the Liberal party "tries to talk out of both sides of its mouth."
...
I agree with Poilievre:

"The crowd was also pointedly advised that the pendulum has swung and they should be sure to vote Liberal as most grit party members now favoured the Palestinian cause over Israel - Yea Lying Jackal you read that right. Neither Jason Kenney nor PM Harper were favoured with a cheer when their names came up.

Liberal MP Paul Szabo, Liberal MP Bonnie Crombie, Omar Algabra and Carolyn Parish - Mississauga's next Mayor according to a local reporter covering the event, all being "that type of majority Liberal" were noted guests."

Radical Islam and the Extreme Left in Canada: Unlikely Allies?

2009-11-20T09:37:00.001-05:00

Workers of the world unite with Allah?

Ali Mallah of Toronto is a staunch trade unionist (CUPE), the outspoken Vice President of the Canadian Arab Federation (CAF), and a board member of the CIDA funded “Alternatives” organization. Mr Mallah is also on the steering committee of the Canadian Peace Alliance and he is a member of the New Democratic Party’s leftist “socialist caucus.” Most interesting, however, is that he is also a strong support of Lebanon’s Hezbollah (Party of God) and the Palestinian Hamas or Islamic Resistance Movement.

On the surface, this would seem to make Mr Mallah an individual who is full of contradictions...
...
Not really, Ali is simply Mallah-Tete.

Written by Dorothy Cummings McLean,

Twenty years ago I went to a pro-life demonstration in Toronto’s Cabbagetown. Abortion advocates greeted us with jeers from the clinic steps, but some of the pro-life demonstrators chained themselves to the railings anyway. Others sat on the sidewalk before the clinic. Trapped behind a human barricade, the abortion rights people began to push and hit. It was an ugly, scary scene. The police arrived and started carting people away. And from my spot to the side, I saw police pick up a priest I liked and haul him to their van. A priest. Suddenly, I wiggled through the crowd and sat right down in his place. A police officer stared down at me.

“Are you gonna walk or are we gonna have to carry you?” he sighed.

You Mr. and Mrs. "White Oppressor Hegemonist" are guilty of racism - even when you're not and remember denial is an admission of guilt!

National Post - From the government, a new racist stereotype

"Although the HRTO found no "conscious" racism on Sgt. Ruffino's part, it nonetheless concluded his actions were motivated by a deep-seated prejudice ... of which he was apparently entirely unaware.

The Tribunal also stated, without substantiation, that white people in authority have "an expectation of docility and compliance" from black people they encounter."

New concerns over the abuse of Section 13(1)

2009-11-19T10:57:00.007-05:00

CNS News:Islamic Nations Seek Legally Binding Way to Counter Religious ‘Defamation’

"As support wanes for its campaign to secure controversial but non-binding “defamation of religion” resolutions at the United Nations, the Islamic bloc is pushing ahead with an alternative route – one that would carry the weight of international law.

The OIC is now attempting to have a key U.N. panel amend an existing international treaty to encompass supposedly religiously defamatory speech.

Unlike the resolutions, changing the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD) to cover religion would be legally enforceable..."
......

Canada is a signatory to the ICERD. The Canadian Human Rights Commission cites observance of ICERD as a Canadian legal obligation in it's defense of our Thought Crime law, 13 (1).

Beyond the CHRC itself the limited support for Section 13 (1) stems from the opposing sides in the ongoing Arab Israeli conflict. Advocacy groups such as the Canadian Jewish Congress and the Canadian Islamic Congress each hope to use Section 13 (1) to limit, if not in fact outlaw political speech they disagree with.

The effort to incorporate the Islamist inspired "Defamation of Religion" in ICERD is simply the latest salvo in the Mid-East proxy war being fought by aggrieved minority groups at the expense of all Canadian citizens charter right to free speech. Worrying steps are also being taken by some members of Canada's Jewish community which are perceived by many on the left as an outright attempt to criminalize criticism of Israel.

The proxy war being fought over free speech is perhaps the single strongest reason why Section 13 (1) must be deleted.
...

Update: more on the Islamist initiative

"One American expert with more than 20 years experience of the U.N. human rights system said the treaty could have far-reaching implications.

"It would, in essence, advance a global blasphemy law," said Felice Gaer, a member of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom.

Canadians welcome anti-radical Islam ad, B’nai Brith vows more to come

Good work Frankie.

Regarding your full-page ad in the National Post: Great work! Keep it up. The world – and particularly Canada – needs to wake up. We support Israel. Shalom.

Thank you so much for the Nazi/Islamist warning and comparison that appeared in the National Post.

Just wanted to say thank you for the excellent ad in National Post. I’ve been reading about radical Islam since the mid-1990s and know the ad’s statement is accurate and long overdue.

Canada remains a haven for terrorists, a French counterterrorism judge says in a new tell-all book in which he discusses past frustrations in investigating an al-Qaeda cell in Montreal.

"In reality, the Canadians don't see the point of our investigation," magistrate Jean-Louis Bruguiere writes. "Their laws are very protective of individual liberty and they don't see the mounting threat of al-Qaeda.

"Al-Qaeda will exploit this to use this country as a base for launching its operations against the United States."

"I was in Canada, the land of cultural relativism, where the most important value is tolerance. Criticizing any other country or culture is a breach of the now distorted policy of multiculturalism. Now, I would pay the price.

If I had only known how big a price."

"And one must be thankful, too, for that platoon of brave and honorable Canadians, like National Post columnists Barbara Kay, Robert Fulford, and George Jonas; David Warren at the Ottawa Citizen; national security consultant David Harris of the Canadian Coalition for Democracies; Point de bascule founder Marc Lebuis; and authors Kathy Shaidle, Howard Rotberg, Jamie Glazov, Ezra Levant, and Mark Steyn, who have taken a principled stand against the spreading infection of anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism within the body politic.

Nevertheless, the beat — or the beating — goes on."
