UPDATED—See below
Yesterday I made a blog entry saying that several groups and even the Canadian government has made moves to disallow Sheik Abu Yousef Riyadh ul-Haq, scheduled to speak at the Youth Tarbiyah Conference, from entering Canada, because he is thought to promote jihad and preach against Jews, Hindus, moderate Muslims, gays, and anti-anything-that-isn’t-extreme-Islamist.
It is widely taken by Canadians as a matter of some considerable common sense that you no longer allow Islamists who promote Islamic jihad to have a voice in our country and preach to our kids. In fact we’re fighting a war with people who did that, and the global war on terror is a war about that.
So naturally, as if on cue, the liberals’ state-run CBC jihadists give him a voice anyway, and rush to his defence.
Controversial Muslim cleric denies sermons are hate speech

CBC NewsThe controversial Muslim cleric from Britain due to speak in Toronto this weekend has told CBC News that he does not promote hatred.
[…] In an interview to be aired Friday on the CBC Radio program The Current, ul-Haq insists his words have been taken out of context and that he was actually condemning extremists of every religious persuasion who misinterpret their holy books to justify terrorism.
UPDATE
I listened to (and recorded) the interview on the jihad-enabling state-run CBC and it was an excercise in futility, with the apparent jihadist repeatedly obfuscating and making excuses, and even accusing the Canadian Coalition for Democracies of “maliciously altering their audio files” of him (one of which is included in my post), and the interviewer making scarcely even lame attempts at keeping him on topic.
