More thoughts on politically-sanctioned kidnapping

By Ezra Levant on July 6, 2008 4:40 PM | | |

There's a lot of interesting comments on my debate with Jonathan Rosenthal. (And I accept the advice that I need a haircut.)

Winston was down at Dundas Square in Toronto and he snapped a few pictures that illustrate the hypocrisy of the Rosenthals of the world. Take a look at this one: a 9/11 conspiracy nut taking his daughter out for an afternoon of family moonbat fun -- not coincidentally next to the permanent Islamic conversion booth.

inside job2.JPGIs a T-shirt claiming that "9/11 was an inside job" any less offensive than a 7-year-old girl with a swastika drawn on her arm? To me, they're both odious -- though Nazi fascism was obliterated more than 60 years ago, except for a few wannabes playing dress-up on the Internet. Islamic fascism, by contrast, continues to kill people almost daily, and threatens credibly to do much more.

There's no way that fashionable leftists like Rosenthal would try to seize Junior Moobat. Because she's a leftist kook, not a right-wing kook. And that's what it's about: politics, not "child abuse".

How about kids wearing the ubiquitous T-shirts of the murderer Che Guevara? Or even listening to the fading shock star, Marilyn Manson, named after a murderer?

And those are just my own political dislikes -- I'm sure some politically correct social worker will one day soon declare that wearing a cross is an "emblem of hate", and seize kids from Christian parents. And I bet the folks down at Dundas Square think Rosenthal's Star of David is an "emblem of hate", too,

The point here is that once we start to criminalize mere ideas - instead of real acts (or threats) of violence, it comes down to subjective politics -- and thus we're all vulnerable.

In that regard, Rosenthal is making the exact same error as Bernie "Burny" Farber and the Canadian Jewish Congress. They're tearing down our civil liberties to get at their enemies. But they're so short-sighted that they don't see that they're setting precedents for their own kids to be seized. We're starting to see the Islamo-fascists mimic the CJC in the human rights commissions, targetting their Zionist enemies like Mark Steyn and me. It won't be long before the CIC tries to mimic Rosenthal ("thanks for setting the precedent -- we'll take it from here!") to take kids away from Zionist parents.

By the way, swastikas didn't kill a single Jew in the Holocaust. The destruction of real civil rights did -- oh, like taking kids from their parents. Seizing children from society's dissidents is something Nazis would do -- just like book burning. Shame on Rosenthal and Burny for acting like those they claim to despise.
