Mark Steyn Is Not Alone
2008-01-16
by Brooke M. Goldstein

Award-winning author Mark Steyn has been summoned to appear before two Canadian Human Rights Commissions on vague allegations of "subject[ing] Canadian Muslims to hatred and contempt" and being "flagrantly Islamophobic" after Maclean's magazine published an excerpt from his book, America Alone.

The public inquisition of Steyn has triggered outrage among Canadians and Americans who value free speech, but it should not come as a surprise. Steyn's predicament is just the latest salvo in a campaign of legal actions designed to punish and silence the voices of anyone who speaks out against Islamism, Islamic terrorism, or its sources of financing.

#6  Judges can end this shit by tossing these frivolous suits as soon as they show up. We need to be able to put all the costs on the litigants and bleed them dry. Now, having "commissions" issuing idiotic pablum opinions is another matter entirely. Canucks rise up and stop this crap!

#5  Tell that to the Canadian Human Rights Comission.

To them, if it offends... even if its true... its wrong (and libel).

He spoke the truth in his writings and now the mussies are pissed off. It would be an honor to be in such company. Maybe Steyn could say piss off or f*ck in a way they understand.
