An equivalent? If Mark Steyn were to be “insulted” by a quote by the snarly Archdeacon of Spiffing Dogsbury-‘Pon-Avon saying something obvious about Anglicanism, which was subequently published in a book by a Muslim, then quoted in a magazine. Re-read that.

Of course, it’s a secret-agenda thing: legal jihad to leverage more rights of militant muslims, and to slap down non-militant muslims and those who DARE point out or [gasp!] criticise the secret agenda directly or indirectly. England is another few steps along; the Netherlands and Belgium and France further than that down the sharia-trail. Canuckistan is already a source of fundng for terror-groups and extremists, and a haven for some of them. Our narcotics-trade partly funds our enemies, as does some of our oil consumption.

The fact that militant muslims find Human Rights Tribunals and secular liberalism and the media to be useful idiots is hardly surprising, nor that such tribunalism, liberalism and freedom of the media & speech would be banned in a sharia-friendly Canuckistan. What cannot continue is our looking the other way, or “letting someone else” fix the problem.

~ Learn more. Read more.

~ Learn what’s happening elsewhere. It’s the pattern for things to come. Keep an eye open.

~ Speak out reasonably and often to elected officials and interested people.

~ Encourage & support moderate muslims.

~ Make clear it’s not about Mark Steyn as such, but freedom of speech & media for all. Think of the recent controversies over cartoons, Piglet, the Pope’s remarks.. Macleans mag– whatever. We cannot be conditioned to submit whenever agitators complain.
