“Everyone is in favor of free speech… but some people's idea of it is that they are free to say what they like, but if anyone else says anything back, that is an outrage.” ― Winston Churchill
Canadian Muslims follow the in the footsteps of Imam Mohammad Ali Elahi’s specious terror “condemnation” piece in the Detroit News, which basically said: terrorist actions are the fault of the West, and especially Israel.
Not to be outdone, the Canadian Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-CAN) produces its own overblown “tut-tut” regarding terrorist bombings.
Notice what is missing? No call to actually do something about it. The fatwa, as decribed in the paper, does not call on Muslims who have knowledge of terrorist plots to go to the authorities and reveal what they know, to name names, to point fingers and save lives. Maybe the full text of the fatwa will be different, but I doubt it.
Read the whole thing: “Fatuous Fatwa“. Can it, CAIR-CAN.
One need go no further than your local mosque and be a fly-on-the-wall for confirmation of Herschblogger’s point. Just one example – the mosque in East Lansing near the MSU campus has a nice map of the middle east prominently displayed on the wall. There exists no state of Israel on this map.So even if they do issue perfectly worded “Public Service Announcements” canned for mainstream media consumption, what does it matter?
