CHRC: Infidels are not a protected category Print E-mail
Wednesday, 17 December 2008

Marc Lebuis (of the excellent Quebec website Point de Bascule) has had his complaint against a Montreal imam, Abou Hammaad Sulaiman Dameus al-Hayiti, rejected by the Canadian "Human Rights" Commission. M Lebuis filed the case to test the consistency of the CHRC: Do they apply their speech codes equally to all Canadians? Or do they just screw over the soft targets who've had the misfortune to catch the eye of serial plaintiff Richard Warman? Well, M Lebuis has his answer. In the eyes of the CHRC's international laughingstock Jennifer Lynch, QC and the rest of the Lynch Mob, not all hatemongers are equal. As the headline in Le Devoir puts it:

Commission canadienne des droits de la personne - S’attaquer aux gais, aux occidentales et aux juifs n’est pas nécessairement haineux

That's to say, "CHRC: Attacking gays, western women and Jews isn't necessarily hateful." Hey, that's great to know, isn't it? At least if you're an imam. If you're an Alberta pastor opposed to gay marriage, you might want to tread more carefully. Over at Point de Bascule, M Lebuis lists some of the choicer statements from Imam al-Hayiti's book:

* Homosexuality is a "perversion"

* Homosexuals "spread disorder on earth"

* Homosexuals and lesbians should be "exterminated in this life"

* "Homosexuals caught performing sodomy are beheaded..."

* Most Infidels “live like animals”

* "they are evil people, they love perversity", and "they are our enemies..."

    * "Men are superior to women and better than them..."

    * "This is the reason why ethnic groups are not equal..."

    * "It is because of this religion of lies [Christianity], which goes against human nature, that the West is now full of perversity, corruption and adultery..."

    * Jews "spread corruption and chaos on earth."

    * Most Jews "seek only material goods and money, apart from that, they have nothing..."

Etc. (The entire book can be found here.) I support the right of Imam al-Hayiti to say exactly what he likes. It's far better to let these guys sound off and clear up any confusion. But I'm puzzled by the decision of Commissar Lynch's enforcers: If it's okay for Imam al-Hayiti to say homosexuals and lesbians should be "exterminated", why is the Reverend Stephen Boissoin under a lifetime speech ban merely for objecting to gay marriage? Why are bald statements of Islamic supremacism cool when an imam makes them but the subject of a week-long trial in Vancouver for an infidel magazine that quotes such an imam?

There's no logical answer except the one we already knew - that, while the bullies of the "human rights" regime are happy to beat up penniless pastors in Alberta and while Lucy Warman, the CJC and other cardboard crusaders get their jollies hunting down every birdbrained "Nazi" posting witless drivel on unread websites from his mum's basement, they have no desire to tangle with the most explicit and well-funded source of "intolerance" in today's world. If the point of the Lynch mob's draconian powers is to protect "human rights", they're useless: "honor killings" will become all but routine but they'll still be obsessing about some adolescent with a swastika tattoo and second-hand jackboots. What a bunch of fairies.

(PS By "fairies", I don't mean perverted homosexuals who spread disorder and should be exterminated - which is now apparently a CHRC-approved contribution to public debate. By "fairies", I mean gutless wimps whose only interest is in protecting their own racket until the present unwanted scrutiny goes away.)
