This whole Steyn, Levant and the Canadian bloggers V Mark Warman thing may end up being the beginning of the first death knell, the beginning of the end of the HRC’s lawless actions. Or not.

Canada’s Supreme Court and Parliament will eventually be getting involved I imagine. I certainly hope so.

Let real Lawyers battle it out in argument. Of course the Left doesn’t want this. They know they have the weaker case.

I can’t wait to see a tape of Steyn in front of the commission. The one with Ezra Levant was a real hoot. Ezra skewered them.

Mark Steyn is totally excellent, someone MUST give him his own show! We should all go hear him speak if we ever get the chance.

absurd thought –
God of the Universe likes
human rights commissions

that violate human rights
while claiming to protect them

.
absurd thought –
God of the Universe hates
real freedom of speech

an American concept
which is NOT for Canada

.
All real freedom starts with freedom of speech. If there is no freedom of speech, then there can be no real freedom.

Whoa, Janne! That brings me to tears. We
have an election here in California today. Canada needs to vote out small minded people like this. It’s hard to imagine that even Canada gives it’s Citizens grief about Freedom of Speech.
I wish Mark could make some ringing retort. But with such small minds, people who are only interested in their
sphere of influence, their power, hope is the best I can do. It might not help
his case to abuse these dim bulbs.

Europe is a lost cause, as you well know. Eurabia will become reality in my lifetime, unless something drastic happens soon.

You may well be right. Something is definitely rotten here, I suppose you read the latest news from France:

A French court has fined former film star Brigitte Bardot 15,000 euros (£12,000) for inciting racial hatred.
—
The fine – equivalent to $23,000 – related to a letter she wrote in December 2006 to the then Interior Minister, Nicolas Sarkozy, which was published on her website, in which she deplored the slaughter of animals for the Muslim festival of Eid al-Adha.

She demanded that the animals be stunned before being killed.

She said she was “tired of being led by the nose by this population that is destroying us, destroying our country by imposing its acts”.

BTW, there is now an English blog post about the case I described earlier today:
Finnish blogger sentenced for two years

Come to the US. Europe is a lost cause, as you well know. Eurabia will become reality in my lifetime, unless something drastic happens soon. A dying native population, astronomically high cost of social services, utter moral decay, and a booming Muslim population spell disaster for Europe as we know it. There are neighborhoods in Europe where burkas are required. 40% of Rotterdam’s population is Muslim.

Thank God for God(!), guns, and America.

I am going to have to subscribe to that Maclean Magazine and see what all the fuss is about.

This trial is an excellent example of socialism at work and the importance of Article 1 of our constitution. I predict that the idiot liberals in Canada have painted themselves into a corner on this. I don’t think that Canadians are that stupid or submissive.

I wouldn’t hold my breath though. Here in Finland, we have already had a few Internet “hate crime” show trials with all convictions. Seems the leftest media (which is pretty much we only have) does not even care.

One of the cases had some English covarege (e.g., here). The latest trial (with no English covarage AFAIK) was held just last week. A man, who would have been in the old times described simply as “crazy”, was convicted for 2,5 years in prison (more than a serial rapist usually gets here) for “libel” and “breach of freedom of worship”. A part of the court proceedings (in full here (in Finnish)):

6. USKONRAUHAN RIKKOMINEN

21.9.2005 TAMPERE

B ja A ovat ainakin syyskuusta
2005 lukien yhdessä ja yksissä tuumin yleisön keskuuteen
levittäneet lausuntoja ja muita tiedonantoja, joissa he
ovat loukkaamistarkoituksessa julkisesti herjanneet ja
häpäisseet sitä, mitä uskonnonvapauslaissa (267/1922)
tarkoitetut islamilaiset uskonnolliset yhdyskunnat
pitävät pyhänä.

B ja A ovat laatineet ja toimittaneet
internetissä yleisön saataville
suursuomalainen.blogspot.com -nimetyn sivuston sekä
tanjakarpela.blogspot.com -nimetyn sivuston, jossa
esitetään Allahia tai profeetta Muhammadia kuvaavia
hahmoja sekaantumassa eläimiin ja kamelin, jonka
takapuolessa on profeetta Muhammadia kuvaava hahmo, sekä
tanjakarpela.blogspot.com -nimetyn sivuston, jossa
vastaavankaltainen kuva.

My bad translation (legal texts are hard to translate, hopefully you get the idea):

6. Breach of freedom of worship

21.9.2005 TAMPERE

B and A have together, since at least September 2005, distributed statements and other notices, in which they have publicly, with intent to hurt, slandered and profaned that, what islamic religious communities, as recognized by the freedom of religon act (267/1922), consider holy.

B and A have together prepared and edited for public availability in Internet a webpage named suursuomalainen.blogspot.com and a tanjakarpela.blogspot.com-named web page, where it is shown characters describing Allah or prophet Mohammed having sex with animals, and [there is also] a camel on whose buttocks it is drawn a character describing prophet Mohammed, and additionally a webpage named tanjakarpela.blogspot.com with a similar drawing.

Of course, there are plenty of similar drawings about Jesus and Christian God, but they have not lead even to investigation for last 40 years…

The latest turn in the case was that yesterday the prosecutor and police adviced (here, in Finnish) “those who have been offended by the convicted man” to contact directly Google for the “removement of the pages from Internet” as the pages are on American servers and “likely protected by American freedom of speech laws”, and therefore inquiry by the authories would not result into the removement of the pages!

Thank God for your first amendment, it is protecting the freedom of speech even outside your borders!

Go Steyn!!!

“no no no no, God Damn Canada, God Damn Canada, God Damn Canada….it’s right there in the Q’ran…….”.

Steyn did what??

When does testimony actually start?

Where’s George Orwell?
