The Canadian Islamic Congress has filed human rights complaints against Macleans magazine for publishing an excerpt from Mark Steyns book America Alone, which the CIC labels not just Islamophobic, but flagrantly Islamophobic: Canadian Islamic Congress launches human rights complaints against Macleans.
Complaints were submitted to Human Rights Commissions in B.C. and Ontario on the grounds that the article subjects Canadian Muslims to hatred and contempt, according to a CIC press release. In the release, the CIC labels Steyns article as flagrantly Islamophobic.
Faisal Joseph is the CICs legal counsel on the matter. In Canada, we have 750,000 law-abiding Muslims, he says. When you read that article, it sounds to some people [like] theres an attack from the Muslim world against the non-Muslim world. We take real issue with that type of characterization and the implications of it.
In response, a Macleans spokesperson provided the following statement: Mark Steyn is a thoughtful and experienced journalist, and the piece was a commentary on important global political issues. It was not in any sense Islamophobic, and Macleans is confident that the Human Rights Commissions will find no merit in the complaints.
Steyn’s not Islamophobic. A phobia is an irrational fear.
Hum perhaps we should call it Judicial Terrorism?

religion of pieces
And your point is?
One small step closer to that inevitable showdown that ends with parts of the vermin world turned to glass
The Canadian Islamic Congress seems to have been unmasked as the Islamofascist totalitarian outfit it’s always been.
“We take real issue with that type of characterization and the implications of it.”
Tough S—t!! We take real issue with your subhuman comrades who cut the heads off of innocents, and you say nothing about the implications of that!!
Suck it up, pal!
Militant
That’s cic (sp?)
Have you seen this eye-opener article?

Feel free to pass it around
Macleans may be surprise. Once the, "Human Rights Commissions" finished slapping around some Neo Nazis it was inevitable they would be used to push around other groups starting with conservatives.
A lawsuit has been served against our Canadian "sister" site, Free Dominion.
then judicialterroristophobia is your term?
As practiced and refined for years by the malignant leftwing crackpots of the ACLU et al. Moslems are just picking up a useful weapon that other enemies of civilization have sharpened for them.
How about suing the proponents of the Koran for being “JudeoChristophobic”?
Is there such a thing as “Steynaphobia”?
Maybe but we have mostly succumbed to “Steynophilia” here.
Blood boiling, eyes rolling, DON’T GET ME STARTED.......
Of course there’s an attack from Muslims on the civilized world. Muslims bomb and murder civilized people. Muslims’ goal is to have the whole world ruled by their uncivilized, 7th century, sharia rules and regulations. Everybody knows this, not just ‘some people.’
Hardly new, or even rare. this is the Communist system used in the old soviet union and current day china. It was also very common during the decline of Rome.
