Levant doesn’t back down at human rights hearing

Muslim group complained about publication of Danish cartoons

A controversial conservative commentator was unrepentent going into a Human Rights and Citizenship Commission hearing Friday, using his Web site to republish the same cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad that got him into trouble in the first place.

“Contriteness implies that you’ve done something wrong for which you need to apologize or atone,” Ezra Levant said moments before his 90-minute meeting with the Alberta Human Rights and Citizenship Commission in Calgary.

“I have not done anything wrong.”

Mr. Levant’s dispute with some members of Alberta’s Muslim community became even more personal, as the head of a Calgary Muslim group said he now fears for the safety of his family due to “lies” Mr. Levant has been spreading about him.

The commission is investigating Mr. Levant’s decision two years ago, as publisher of the Western Standard, to print a series of cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad.

Ezra Levant’s blog has more video of his session in the Alberta Human Rights Commission star chamber, and more comments on this gross abuse of governmental power. I liked this part:
