Steyn the Infidel
Ezra Levant.com ^ | May 7, 2008 | Ezra Levant

Posted on 05/08/2008 4:24:41 PM PDT by fanfan

My old friend Winston attended Mark Steyn's book signing at Toronto's flagship Indigo bookstore, where Steyn was interviewed by Indigo president Heather Reisman.

I had to click on Winston's photos to see what Steyn was wearing on his head: a bright orange "Infidel" ballcap. No word on whether that was a gift from the Canadian Islamic Congress sock puppets last night.

I wasn't there, and I've seen no other reports on the subject, so I'll simply quote Winston's report without comment (and I'll quote his Farsi, just to be exotic!):

He was interviewed by... Reisman and it was as if a moonbat is interviewing an intelligent person (Mark Steyn) and with really biased and one sided question. At one point, she told Mark what he would do if he was "President of Great Britain". Hahaha... I thought Britain has ceased being a constitutional monarchy. LOL... Or she called Bush administration as "Bush's regime" and in response to that Mark said that "Anti-Americanism is a mental illness these days" and the crowd exploded in laughter. Ms. Reisman was surprised why hundreds of people were clapping and whistling for Mark and not for her...

The interview lasted for an hour and the book signing went on for almost two hours. It was such an honor to meet with Mr. Steyn and tell him how I appreciated his emphasis on "Putting an end to the Iranian regime" in his book and advocating it here and there. Moreover, Mark Steyn talked about Iran in particular and said how a modernizing government like that of the Shah was overthrown by radical Islamists in 1979 and that's essentially the type of so-called reform that is now taking place around the world. He brought up the case of Malaysia where they're entertaining the idea of replacing a secular British style government with a Sharia based Islamist one...

I end this entry with what Mark wrote for me:
"Let's win this in Canada and Iran."

BTW - Thanks to Winston, Michael Yon’s new book is now available in Toronto. He had asked the biggest bookstore there - Indigo - and they had no intentions of carrying it. They wouldn’t even order it for him. So Winston told Mark Steyn, and Steyn spoke to Indigo, and now it’s available.
Good work, Winston!

Wow, if that’s the kind of person (Reisman) who is running Chapters, then I’ll have to reconsider buying anything from them again.
