Liberating Muslim Women; part 1

Posted on by

Canada’s predominant guru of all things Islam and top loud-mouth of anti-Semitic rhetoric, Dr. Elmasry, has published a recent op-ed on the Canadian Islamic Congress website entitled “Liberating Muslim Women” part 1. As usual, his essay is riddled with inaccuracies and broad statements without any accompanying statistical source information. But perhaps the most troublesome aspect of this essay is his incessant need to ridicule all things Western and to push the existence of “alarming levels of islamophobia” at every turn, as if it were a rampant thread running through every western news room.

The intention of Elmasry’s ill-crafted essay is to extol the virtues of Islam and it’s evidently loving, Quranic treatment of women against the backdrop of a fouled, misinformed Americanized media. This misdirectional tactic is common amongst jihadis, their defenders and apologizers. It is a strategy created to divert attention from and curb criticism toward a morally bankrupt whabbist ideology which time and again, perpetrates violence, aggression and oppression against women across the globe.

He is dismayed by a poster of a woman in hijab with the accompanying statement “how can we liberate them” displayed in Amsterdam in 2003, as part of a government public service announcement, an act he views as disturbing. What is truly disturbing though, is the fact that he fails to inform the reader of the campaign in any fuller context and provides no insight or factual detail as to why the government of Holland felt it necessary to initiate this campaign. Relying on this strategic imbalance, (which he constantly accuses the Canadian and all western media of doing), his aim is clear; to further instill and encourage a deeper sense of victimization and segregation within Canada’s Muslim population by portraying western nations as enemies of Islam. He also feels free to use women, hijabed or not, as his catapulting object to once again, demean western nations, secular cultures and modern values.

Ezra aquited. HRC smart enough to know when to quit. Shame about that really.

Punished first, acquitted later
By Ezra Levant on August 6, 2008 10:34 AM | Permalink | Comments (30) | Trackback

fMy lawyers have just received a copy of a letter from the Alberta Human Rights Commission dismissing the complaint of “discrimination” filed against me by the radical Edmonton Council of Muslim Communities. They had complained that by publishing the Danish cartoons of Mohammed in the Western Standard in February 2006, I had engaged in an illegal act.

Their complaint was identical to the one filed earlier by an anti-Semitic imam named Syed Soharwardy. Soharwardy abandoned his complaint this spring. You can see Soharwardy’s complaint here; it named both me and the magazine. The Edmonton complaint named just the magazine. My initial legal response is here.

The two complaints cost Alberta taxpayers in excess of $500,000 and, according to access to information documents, involved no fewer than 15 government bureaucrats. What a scam – on the part of the complainants, who were able to wage “lawfare” against an infidel without paying a cent; and on the part of the HRC, as a make-work project.

Fire. Them. All.

Ezra Levant to US congress. A pithy and important speech and some cold warnings as a foreward

Levant to Congress: put Canada on the watch list of human rights abusers
By Ezra Levant on July 11, 2008 8:50 PM | Permalink | Comments (77) | Trackback (1)

I had the pleasure of making a presentation as an expert witness to the U.S. Congress’s bi-partisan human rights caucus today.

I didn’t count, but I’d estimate that there were over 100 people there. I met quite a few readers of my blog, and even a donor to my legal defence fund — what a warm welcome in a far away city! There were a surprising number of journalists, including Luiza Savage, Maclean’s magazine’s Washington Bureau Chief. And there were a lot of religious liberty NGOs, including those from the Bahai, Hindu and Buddhist communities — including several in bright orange monk’s robes.

As a Canadian, I had forgotten that, in the U.S., every Congressman (and certainly every Senator) has their own foreign policy staff. Many such advisors were present, as well as lawyers from the U.S. Department of Justice, the House Justice Committee, and the State Department.

My fellow panellists were impressive, especially the Turkish scholar whose specialty was documenting the treatment of apostates in Muslim countries, and the State Department lawyer who is the point-person in response to the international diplomatic campaign to have criticism of Islam criminalized. And — very usefully — the second secretary of the Pakistani Embassy was there. It was very striking to hear, directly from the source, the plans that Pakistan and the rest of the Muslim world have when it comes to censoring their critics through the twisting of Western legal apparatuses. It was like getting a glimpse at the other team’s playbook — and having our worst fears confirmed. Frankly, I was surprised that she showed up.

I’ll get into more details in a later post; it was a fascinating discussion, and the question-and-answer session was particularly clarifying. But for now, allow me to post my prepared comments. I’ve put in bold a few of my favourite comments. If I had to think of my most important suggestion, it would be for the U.S. Congress to add Canada to its watch list of countries that abuse human rights like freedom of speech and freedom of religion. What do you think?

Mohamed El Masry and the Canadian Islamic confrence on Zimbabwe and Mugabe

Mad Mo Embraces Self-Parody

The democratic state of Israel may be evil incarnate, but Zimbabwe’s not so bad, and it’s dictator Robert Mugabe is well-intentioned and misunderstood – so says Canadian Islamic Congress president-for-life Mohamed Elmasry:

Mugabe was trying to implement a land reform; to redistribute the land of about 5,000 white farmers to his country’s poor black people. And that is a great sin. So he was and still is in the West called a dictator, an arrogant, aging autocrat who has run the economy into the ground, fanned racial hatred and abused his power to suppress political foes, the courts and media, etc. etc.

Western media seldom report that Mugabe was and still is popular especially in the rural areas; his land reform has won him support among his own people. When Zimbabwe gained independence in 1980, 70 per cent of the country’s farm land was in the hand of 5,000 European settler landowners.

In a 2004 poll conducted by the popular monthly magazine New African, for the most influential African leaders of the 20th century, Mugabe came third after Nelson Mandela and Ghana’s Kwame Nkrumah.

Following the presidential elections in March this year the opposition claimed Morgan Tsvangirai, leader of Zimbabwe’s opposition Movement for Democratic Change was the winner with 50.1 per cent of the votes. The government claimed it was a tie.

Mugabe decided to hold a run-off election last month. But Tsvangirai pulled out and sought refuge in the Dutch embassy, which to some observers is a proof that he is a stooge of Western powers.
(…)

Mugabe is no worse than many leaders in the developing world. Because he is challenging 100 years of soical injustice in his county (albeit, in a clumsy way) sanctions are imposed on his country by the rich and powerful nations including Canada, so the poor African blacks suffer some more.

Beware of censorship by RORY LEISHMAN

Posted on by

From The London Free Press

While the Canadian Human Rights Commission has bowed to widespread public opposition to proceeding with a complaint against Maclean’s magazine brought by the Canadian Islamic Congress, less powerful and prominent Canadians should beware: For them, the threat of censorship remains.

Even Maclean’s is still under investigation by the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal in a parallel case initiated by Mohamed Elmasry, national president of the Canadian Islamic Congress. He has charged the magazine with expressing hatred and contempt for Muslims with the publication of an article by Mark Steyn on the escalating threat posed by radical Islam to democracy and freedom under law in Canada and other Western countries.

Canada and the HRC’s and the CRTC

Posted on by

I have wondered what Canada’s Prime Minister Stephen Harper thinks about Canada’s so called ‘Human Rights Tribunals’. So far many Canadians and even some long time Liberal supporters feel Harper may be the best PM Canada has ever had.

Even so, his silence on the HRC’s have been enough to take my meager contribution to the Conservative party and benchmark it for the defense of the Canada six, the bloggers who are slated to be keel hauled by Canada’s various HRC’s.

Then thanks to fellow Vlad contributor Grace, I saw this:

“Human rights commissions, as they are evolving, are an attack
on our fundamental freedoms and the basic existence of a
democratic society … It is, in fact, totalitarian.”

– Stephen Harper, 1999

This is a rather excellent bit of good news. Lets hope he acts on it. The above link is one in a flood of recent articles condemning the HRC’s and Canada’s rapid slide into totalitarian leftism. I’ts wonderful to see many of Canada’s major newspapers and media suddenly showing a little guts and risking HRC attacks on themselves to do their jobs but still, fear of Canada’s CRTC prevents them from telling the truth about immigration from Islamic nations and violent crime directly related to the politics of their nation and religion of origins.

Elmasry: Canada’s ayatollah-in-waiting

Posted on by

Much has been discussed regarding the decline of freedom of speech in this country. While the cases of Ezra Levant and Maclean’s/ Mark Steyn are high profile ones, many other smaller fish have been caught in the trolling net of various HRC’s. Mr. Levant and Mr. Steyn, along with numerous other journalists, broadcasters, bloggers and t.v. hosts have done an excellent job of exposing the creeping and dangerous desire by some to shut down open thought. It needs to continue until these fascist “courts” are dismantled.

That being said, I’d like to bring some well deserved exposure to the major complainants behind the push to silence Canadians. First, let’s read what CIC’s national vice president Wahida Valiante, has to say on freedom of speech in Canada. “Real democracy depends on the free flow of ideas, of debate and disagreement, and newspapers are the best forum for those debates”. It would be wonderful if she meant it, but in fact, she doesn’t. Click here For a full understanding of her actual view, And so the exposure of the bullshit begins.

The Canadian Islamic Congress and it’s ayatollah-in-waiting Dr. Muhammed Elmasry, is the main plaintiff in the Maclean’s/Mark Steyn affair. Of course, Elmasry denies this, preferring to describe his position as one of “facilitator”, merely playing a supporting role to the 3 or 4 Osgoode Law students. According to the CIC, these legal beagles are the real “complainants”, but according to the facts of the case, this is totally false. Elmasry is one of two plaintiffs with the law students playing the secondary role.

Hizbolah threatens Canadian targets, CIC wants them to be removed from terrorist list

Posted on by

While various western intel agencies publicly state that Hizbolah is planning a large and showy terrorist attack on probably Jewish targets within North America and probably Canada, The Canadian Islamic congress wants Canada to remove Hizbolah from Canada’s terrorist list.

If there was any doubt that Mohamed El Masry of the CIC, the same one who launched the Human rights attack on Macleans Magazine and then on the CIC website claimed it was really launched by 3 U of T law students, was a disengenious schill for Islamic manifest destiny, now there should be no remaining trace.

All the links are worth the visit especially the last one. Its an article by Mohamed El Masry and for those familiar with the Macleans case and other Canadian Islamic congress issues, you will see many blatant lies.
