TORONTO (CP) -
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Khan then offered his services as adviser to Harper, which the prime minister readily accepted.
His controversial position on the arrests led to death threats, via e-mail and telephone, that warned that he would be "taken care of" in either Canada or in Pakistan for being anti-Muslim, a source told The Canadian Press on condition of anonymity.
The source, who has deep roots in the Muslim community, said he fears Khan's defection to the Tories will lead to even more threats against the MP."
You've got that right!
Thanks for the ping Cindy.
Fellow Canadians, do you realize whats happening?
This Muslim is being harassed and threatened, in the name of Islam, because he (appears to) accept North American/Western values.
If they will do this to one of their own (much like dems and libs), we will surely be next.
Mark Steyn is right. They are just waiting for the demographics to go in their favour.
And that, my FRiends, is not far off. Anywhere.
Canada ping.
Please send me a FReepmail to get on or off this Canada ping list.

Well now, this is NOT nice, either. Good thing the FBI and AP is right on it.
There is NO justification for death threats in America.

FBI probes death threat against Muslim leader
Basim Elkarra has received an email death threat, and the wheels of justice are turning quickly: the FBI has launched an investigation, and AP has published the story below.
Memo to AP: I myself have received numerous email death threats from Islamic jihadists. In addition, I was even named by Al-Qaeda's Adam Gadahn in a videotape introduced by Al-Zawahri himself. Yet you have never found any of this worthy of note. This isn't about me personally -- it is about what you choose to tell the public, and what you don't, and why. One would think that death threats are all equally odious and newsworthy, no? Yet apparently they aren't -- can you explain why? You can contact me here, at director@jihadwatch.org.
SACRAMENTO - The FBI said that it is investigating a death threat sent to the leader of a local Muslim group after US Sen. Barbara Boxer rescinded a certificate her office had awarded to him.
Special Agent Karen Ernst said Friday the bureau launched an investigation after Basim Elkarra reported receiving a threatening e-mail.
Elkarra, executive director of the Sacramento chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, received a certificate of accomplishment from Boxer’s office in November recognizing his oustanding service.’
Elkarra said the award reflected his group’s efforts to establish good relations with Christians, Jews, minority groups and the FBI.
After the certificate was awarded, Boxer read a Web log linking her to the council and accusing it of pro-terrorist activities, including refusing to condemn Osama bin Laden by name.
Boxer asked her staff to investigate, and her office sent a letter withdrawing the certificate on Dec. 21, her communications director, Natalie Ravitz, said Thursday.
Ravitz said two of the council’s former members were sentenced to prison for crimes related to terrorist groups. She also said CAIR had refused to label Hamas and Hezbollah as terrorist organizations.
There is more to it than that, also.
CAIR’s national leaders denied that the group had terrorist ties or sympathies and accused Boxer of caving in to anti-Muslim extremists.
It would be refreshing if CAIR would be so kind as to address specific concerns in this area. My questions still remain unanswered, Ibrahim.
