Like Mohammed Elmasry, I blame the Jews

Mohammed Elmasry, the nominal complainant in the Maclean's case, and president-for-life of the anti-Semitic Canadian Islamic Congress blames the Jews for many of hte world's ills.

But every once in a while, even a stopped clock is right.

As Faisal Joseph, and his soon-to-be employee, and current "witness", Khurrum Awan, says, the Jews have used these same human rights laws to bash their political opponents, so why shouldn't Muslims use them, too?

It is flawless logic. Of course, "Jews" didn't set up such censorship. Canada's Official Jews did, people who are Jews for a living -- and I'm not talking about rabbis. I'm talking about my own faith's race-hustlers, people like Bernie Farber of the CJC.

For decades, Farber, and more recently his allies at B'nai Brith and the Simon Wiesenthal Center, have attacked the Canadian values of free speech and political diversity. They've focused on their own nemeses -- usually neo-Nazis. But after dozens of legal "victories", the "law" is now fixed.

And along come Elmasry, Joseph, Awan with a "thank you very much, we'll take it from here boys".

That's the thing about censorship -- what's good for the goose is good for the gander. Just as Weimar Germany's censorship laws were used by Adolf Hitler, so too are Bernie Farber's laws being used against Zionists -- better Zionists than Farber -- like Mark Steyn.

Today's hearing is about a vicious bigot named Mohammed Elmasry using the government to attack his political critics. Brought to you by the taxpayers of B.C., and the legal spadework of Canada's Official Jews.

Oy vay.

I touched on this point in the Globe and Mail in January.
