Steyn News

A CLARIFICATION via Mark’s recent appearance on Rob Breakinridge’s show—

Mark Steyn: “[Mohammed Elmasry] .. has got himself four sock-puppets from Osgoode Hall Law School in Toronto that he puts up on the TV shows and the radio-shows and all the rest of it: and in fact, they’re not the complainants.

“This case goes to trial in British Columbia in June, and subsequently at the Federal Human Rights Commission; and in both cases Dr. Elmasry is the complainant; and these four, you know, fresh-faced, very charming, personable, attractive Osgoode Hall Law students have nothing to do with it.

“Now, you understand why Dr. Elmasry is doing this: he’s the guy who said on Canadian TV that he thought all Israeli civilians over the age of 18 were legitimate targets for murder. In other words, he is an objective supporter of terrorism– I’ve got no complaint against that: he’s entitled to his views, I just wish he thought I was entitled to mine.

But it does show you how absurd this is, that a guy who is an active supporter of terrorism is suddenly the poster-boy for Canadian human rights.”

A Jew Israeli Target-Rich Environment,

at least according to Dr. Elmasry’s original

comments on the Coren Show.

REALITY-CHECK.. A Reminder from Ezra: “1. Soharwardy says he’ll drop his complaint, but hasn’t yet; 2. Even if he does, the case against me proceeds, as the two complaints were over the same “offence”, and both are being heard in tandem.”
