Ouch

Take a moment to read Edward Greenspan's smackdown of the three Osgoode Hall sock puppets, including the serial liar, Khurrum Awan. An excerpt:

I've never before been embarrassed by a fellow Osgoode Hall Law School graduate until now.

My fellow alumni are the three complainants behind the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal complaint against Maclean's magazine for publishing supposedly "Islamophobic" articles, including columns by Mark Steyn. It is embarrassing that these complainants graduated from Osgoode Hall when it is apparent that their education seems to have lacked any lessons in the true meaning of civil liberty.

...

The complainants want to hijack the free press. But there should be no right not to be offended. There should be no right of reply.

There is, however, a right to publish and speak out, and the CIC and the other complainants have taken full advantage of this right.

...

If Maclean's refuses to publish any counterviews or replies, so what? That's why it is called "Maclean's" and not "CIC's." And that is why nobody outside of the CIC can tell it what to publish on its website, either.

The thing is, I understand how the complainants feel. They probably feel the same way I and other Jews feel when we go to the Canadian Islamic Congress website and read "editorials" with headlines such as: "Zionist Israel at 60 -- A History Built on Ethnic Cleansing" and "Israel: An Armed Ghetto by Choice."

Now that it has been a complainant, I wonder how the CIC would like being a respondent in a human rights tribunal?

I somehow doubt Leo Adler would debate his fellow member of the tribe, Edward Greenspan, either.
