The Muslim man who was ever so offended (on behalf of his prophet, the late Mohammed) by publisher Ezra Levant’s republishing of the famous Danish cartoons, which included a hand-drawn image of Mohammad, is now himself the target of a “human rights” complaint. Some Muslim women have filed a sexual discrimination complaint including various forms of harassment and abuse and inequality, at the Canadian “Human Rights” Commission.
As Mr. Levant explains, that does not mean we suddenly support the process as it currently exists —not at all. You should go and read it yourself, as he explains it very well (he’s an excellent writer), and includes links to the actual complaint filed at the “human rights” commission.
While I’m at it, I can’t help but express how telling it is that the Canadian media isn’t taking a more active role in telling and retelling this story. There was a few mentions of it last Saturday, and a couple or more good columnists (“The ecstasy of Ezra Levant” this elitist, bigoted tripe:
“…Now this pretentious little man is out to make the most of it, cheered on by his rabid ideological comrades, and carrying on for all the world like King Charles the First … Who on earth does Levant think he is? He’s no monarch facing the headsman’s axe, no idealist facing torture and death. He’s just a crummy far-right propagandist in a spot of bother that he himself created … I sincerely hope that the Commission lets him off. That would be just the comeuppance he deserves…
I can’t add anything to that. What you should take home from that kind of anti-free-speech, anti-Canadian, unprincipled comment from the left —is painfully obvious.
