Looking back: The Michael Coren Show, October 19, 2004: “All Israelis over 18 are valid targets for murder by suicide bombers.” says Elmasry. Right.. “ID, please.. thank you.” KA-BOOOOOM. Elmasry & co. then fought back with an attempted muzzling: “Michael Coren’s September 2 editorial did nothing to foster understanding, but instead propagated hate, intolerance, and even genocide … In print and on air Coren has crossed the line of democratic free speech; he has become a dangerous promoter of hate literature. Canada should not condone such inhumane and barbaric propaganda.” Eventually, he apologized for any misunderstanding, though this ensued. No word if the CIC had comments or not …. (Various)

~ DEAR NON-CANADIANS: “Let them know — politely — where you stand” …. (directorblue.blog)

~ IN OTHER NEWS, let’s remember that Mohamed Elmasry and Sheema Khan from CAIR-Canada were behind the fight to get Sharia-law in Canada for female muslims, this should be a wake-up call. Of course, commentator and writer David Frum was (unsuccessfully) sued in 2004 by U.S. group CAIR [see “CAIR Goes After Frum and National Post“].. previously involved in suing at least five other parties for libel or defamation ….

~ REX MURPHY— “Not every article in every magazine of newspaper is meant to be a valentine card addressed to every reader’s self-esteem …. Maclean’s and its columnists – especially of late – are an ornament to Canada’s civic space. They should not have to defend themselves for doing what a good magazine does: start debate, express opinion, and stir thought. And most certainly they should not have to abide the threatened censorship of any of Canada’s increasingly interfering, state appointed and paradoxically labeled human rights commissions.” ….
