"The Canadian Islamic Congress and the Canadian Arab Federation have joined to oppose the anti-Muslim / anti-Arab content and tone of the CTS network talk show hosted by Michael Coren, whose recent Toronto Sun editorial advocates launching a preemptive nuclear attack on Iran.
"Both NGOs have sent a letter of protest to CTS management and to the CRTC, Canada's broadcast governing body, to ask that The Michael Coren Show be dropped."
(...)
"Both the CIC and CAF have denounced Coren’s published and broadcast views as repugnant and a mockery of Canada's history as a progressive, multi-ethnic country that advocates peace, justice and fair opportunity for all."
Bring on more repugnant mockery, I say.
Hearing Mohamed "Israeli civilians are legitimae targets" Elmasry calling Coren a "bully" is pretty rich.
(Thanks to loyal reader John for the heads up)
I used to love to listen to Mr. Coren on CFRB until he made fun of a heavy guy...I did not agree with a lot of what he said, but he was always fair, unwavering, guided by his conscience and the FARTHEST thing from racist. I applaud Mr. Coren for his views and having the courage to express them.
Kudos Mr. Coren.
Elmo is a Electrical Engineering Prof at UW. I wonder if he ever advised any Sri Lankan Electrical Engineering students on their CO-Op work in Sri Lanka?
In today's Canada, telling the truth is usually enough to get you into trouble. Add in religion (or in this case, a death cult) and you are bound to see calls for censor. Keep up the good work Mr. Coren
Preemtive? possible resonance?
== From: the respected Economist =
America may yet come to agreement with France, which has joined some tough statements against Iran recently. But Russia and, especially, China remain stumbling blocks, opposed to sanctions. It is not hard to see why. Ilan Berman, an Iran-watcher at the American Foreign Policy Council, noted the huge scale of China’s economic ties with Iran in recent testimony to Congress.
He points out that China—which is ravenous for more oil and gas—now gets 15% of its energy from Iran, more than from any other supplier. To ask China to slam the door on Iran’s energy exports is like asking America to do without Saudi oil, says Mr Berman. In other words, it is unthinkable.
Mr Bush offered some respectful words for Iranian people on Tuesday. And Mr Ahmadinejad found many occasions to mention *justice and love* among peoples. But neither man is budging.
Mr Ahmadinejad also referred obliquely to the coming of the *perfect one* , meaning the *hidden imam*, that Shia Muslims believe will return to herald the end of the world.
More reason to worry that the president is a millenarian zealot. On the other hand, Time magazine has reported that America has given some of its navy ships orders to *prepare to deploy* near Iran. A bluff, perhaps. But it has raised fears of an impending strike and of a clash of something more serious than words.

Damn! Now if we were all driving EVs. . . = TG
I was watching the Coren show tonight - he made a reference to his upcoming Saturday column, and joked about not being on TV on Monday.
Perhaps he was just kidding, but it will be interesting to see what is column is about this Saturday.
'Canadian' Muslims financially support all sorts of murder and mayhem, condone suicide bombing by children, demand that all sorts of people be put to death, etc. etc.
One public figure who believes we should launch a pre-emptive defence of civilization results in calls for censorship - and the calls will be taken seriously because 'ethnics' are demanding them and Coren is just a white guy. Disgusting.
I do not always agree with Coren, but he is always well informed and presents his point very well. I miss his show on 1010 for the drive home.
Kepp telling it like it is Mr. Coren.
Hey Kathy, remember when the Danish cartoons o' doom (tm) caused all that Muzzie outrage, and Michael Coren kept saying "good for them," not for the violence but for sticking up for their beliefs?
Well he's not saying that these days with the reaction to the Pope's speech.
Michael used to try overly hard to see the Muzzie point of view, but now he's so disgusted by their actions that he's expressing that disgust. Good for him.

I'm tired of these guys. Screw em!
More blah blah blah from the religion of peace. "Shut up" and "we'll kill you otherwise" sums up all their riots, speeches and press releases.
When we hear something like "we will try to enlighten ourselves by learning the truth about the other 11 living relgions" then we will know that they made the first step towards being worthy of being called a religion of peace.
I'm waiting for CSIS to make the connection between
CIC / CAF and some charity fronts for funding HAMAS, Hezbola, Al Quaida, ISM etc....hopefully these POS will be tossed in jail for a long time....

It isn't just Michael Coren talking tactical nukes... here's what's being said in Israeli military circles. Guess which other Middle Eastern country is also scared shitless about a nuclear Iran...
THE BEATINGS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL MORALE IMPROVES.

Quote: "Europe, she thinks, is invertebrate. After two generations without war, Europeans "have no idea what an enemy is." And they think, she says, that leadership is an antiquated notion because they believe that caring governments can socialize everyone to behave well, thereby erasing personal accountability and responsibility. "I can't even tell it without laughing," she says, laughing softly".
MUMBAI BOMBERS CONFESS - CLAIM PAKISTAN AND MOHAMMAD ATTA LINK
Indian TV ^ | Sept- 21-2006
Watching TV in India. Breaking news reports that three have confessed, and claim they trained in Pakistan with Mohammad Atta (9/11 fame!). Huge news item here in India. India wants to talk to FBI to see if there is a larger link here. ...-

The islamic congress and the arab federation would have more credibility if they didn't belong to a 'religion' that espoused that none believers are infidels who should be killed, and that jews are monkeys and pigs. The quran is a blatant death advocating book. If I were them I'd just shut up. They're hypocrites.
Elmo is a Electrical Engineering Prof at UW. I wonder if he ever advised any Sri Lankan Electrical Engineering students on their CO-Op work in Sri Lanka?; Greg..
From what I can glean, Greg, he hasn't.
However, were anyone to ask, Elmo would be quite willing to demonstrate how to fuck a goat.
I would imagine that on the man's resumé "goat-fucker" is listed way before any mention of engineering.
And when Elmo runs out of goats, he settles for second-best.....and casts a wanderous eye on Sheema Khan's enslaved Vedic ass.
Sheema, of course, isn't a goat, but with just a little touch of rogain, she could be.
These dudes are pretty shaky, eh? Doesn't take much to get them all in training for the waiter's jobs they aspire to...I'm surprised they don't all resemble Fiddler crabs by now, instead of just ordinary crabs....
The history of Canada is multi-ethnic, I guess, but I don't see anything about the Church being the State which is what these guys are used to.
There's a myth advertised to newcomers that we are all just dancing in the streets over government-sanctioned ghettoization - oops, I mean 'multiculturalism' which is one of the ways the Liberals lured them here to take crappy low-paying menial jobs that we won't do and of course, to vote Liberal.
I'm sick of these hotheads, they are way too volatile, kind of like my neighbour's wiener dog. I think their real problem is that as a group they have no visible sense of humour which, considering they are trying to maintain an 8th century existence in a 21st century world is not surprising.
It's kind of like a Gonzo Pioneer Village thing...
Islamists are free to live in Islamist States,where they can smother themselves in their religion without distractions or danger of outside influences, which seems to affect them tremendously.
They are continuously being "offended" which proves they DO NOT BELONG in Western societies where we practice or do not pratice religions as we wish and MIND OUR OWN BUSINESS in the process.
We are FED UP with these dangerous misfits. BEGONE!
GODSPEED!
