About Kate
Why this blog?
Until this moment
I have been forced
to listen while media
and politicians alike
have told me
"what Canadians think".
In all that time they
never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."

Wonder if the "fire Wente because she's a plagiarist" crowd will go along with "fire Eltahawy because she's a vandal".
Or am I missing something?
She wouldn't understand free speech if it whupped her upside her burkha.
Beyond ignorant. An excellent representative for her cause.
Wow. What can you do against such down to the bone stupidity. Even without her position being taken into account, which is so wrong it's painful, but the arrogance, the shrill cries of why are you arrenting me? On camera spray painting the subway. Wow.
They just don't get it - and they'll take the entire west down with them.
Some day in my old age, I'll read about what happens when the Chinese and Indians, who will have taken over hegemony in political, economic and world affairs, start dealing with these parasites in their own special way.
I guess she doesn't like jihadists being called savages. Which they are.
Probably some PTSD from the hand raping she got in Tahrir Square back in the Arab Spring Festerval. She should be put away in Egypt for her own good. Why is she dressed like a whore? A simple hijab would have given her gravitas as victim.
It would be, according to her definition, freedom of expression to punch her lights out.
If you got arrested for clocking her you could claim to be a political prisoner.
Muslims (musselmen?) know that Obama will never permit criticism of islam. If they can murder an ambassador scotfree, obviously spray painting is OK.
I now have enhanced respect for the New York City Transit Police. What an ignrant bitch. The lady trying to protect the poster should have whacked Mona with her camera. Furthermore, I hope she presses an assault charge and sues for the damage to her coat and camera.
The sad part is that such idiots actually get attention. Typical left-wing nut, who thinks she is actually worth something.
Low class loud-mouthed cow. She should go back to Egypt but of course she would never do that. Life in the West is much better and she knows it.
Seen her type many times over when I was at university.
Soooooo I can spray paint Mona's car if I claim it's a peaceful non-violent expression of protest? I'm exercizing my rights?
Or, is expressing MY rights racist? As I'm reddish-white, of course.
What a schmuck...
muslim countries blaspheme Judaism and Christianity viciously and regularly. Spreading proven hateful falsehoods is their specialty. The totally discredited Protocols of the Elders of Zion is a couple hour power dump on Jews that has had more re-runs in the Middle East than the Littlest Hobo has had in Canada. Mercilessly killing Christians for the “sin” of being Christian is one of the “minor road bumps” going on in the arab spring that Obama would never even consider for material for a teachable moment about blasphemy and civility. We have all seen the films of muslims as they joyfully use machine guns and RPGs to destroy historical statues of the Buddha. These are same countries that currently have their turbans in a tornado about blasphemy. Clearly to “modern, moderate muslims” it turns out that blasphemy is only blasphemy it is against islam.
Even a supposed “modern, moderate muslima” has no doubt in her mind whatsoever that is an expression of her free speech to be able to spray paint over a subway ad which she does not want Americans to read.
If a “modern, moderate muslima” assaults an American citizen while spraying a legally posted ad that was awarded the right to be displayed in the subway by US courts, that to her, is just an extension of her right to free speech which trumps anyone else’s free speech. In fact in her muddled moderate muslim mind the American citizen should be charged with violating the “modern, moderate muslima’s” right to violate free speech and to destroy the property of others.
This is clearly a bully tactic. Allow it to stand and it will put a bullet in the head of free speech. They will then move on to destroying the next US Constitutional right on their hit list.
“Should women be allowed to own property or to go to law school.” Discuss.
Let me add that I *applaud* Pamela Geller who put up the advertisement. It reads ""In any war between the civilized man and the savage, support the civilized man. Support Israel. Defeat Jihad."
See here:
http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/
It's high time the West got some backbone and starting pushing back on Islam.
Interesting, Pamela ("oh you're Pamela Geller!") employs the non violent tactic which the left has been using for *years*, and how does Chomby react?
"Get out of my way!"
Only a prog could be such a hypocrite.
All doubt about who she was, was swept away when she opened her mouth.
This idiot had her arms broken by the "religion of peace" and she STILL goes back.
Couldn't the officer has just "accidentally" nudged this d*** bi*** onto the rail track?who the f*** do these people think they are? If I defaced a poster in broad daylight I would fully expect to be locked up.
Highlights the credentials required to be a star reporter. Shrill, obnoxious, and a hatred for Christianity. Too stupid to understand that defacing public property is a crime.
I guess I had never heard of her because I don't waste my time on the Toronto Star. As one comment indicated earlier, her arrogance is astonishing. I wonder how she would have reacted had the previous (truly racist) ads attacking Israel been defaced in the same manner. I'd wager it'd be smug satisfaction.
Looks like the transit police decided to support the civilized man (woman actually). Perhaps the best way of teaching the moron who was arrested about property rights and freedom of expression would be by spray painting her clothes and vehicle under the guise of freedom of expression.
When she gets out of jail, can she be shipped back to Egypt?
Never heard of her,if she is a Toronto Star reporter it would not be surprising at all.Why these hypocrites like her and the above poster don't go back and jihad in the cesspools they are from tells me how much of hypocrites they are,and cowards.
so, TLDR version:
offending muslim is hate speech
muslim is always right
first amendment protects right for muslim to destroy property which offends muslim
Is so the retarded relative of ok or is it just me?
It's not a surprise that she's a columnist for the Red Star, they employ Heather Mallick so anyone with the slightest scent of crazy can get a gig there.
more spiteful than a loblaw's hah lal buyer
I think "so" is "ok." He either ignored the deportation order or he's doing this from Iran.
"Try Doing This in Egypt"
She did try it. She got raped and beaten half to death for just being there. Nearly bought the farm by all accounts, only thing that saved her was
In Noo Yawk some lady stood in front of her, and then two cops took her off to a pretty comfortable jail where... wait for it...
...nothing bad happened to her.
The contrast is -so- extreme one would think even a rock-hard Leftie would notice.
Personally, from that video I think its possible that wee Mona is trying to buy her way back into the good graces of all her Lefty friends. After she got raped in Egypt she had some harshish things to say about it, and the New York Left threw her under the bus for it.
A little pink spray paint and a highly publicized arrest might go a long way to getting her back inside the bus where its nice and cozy. Hell, Mona may have been the one that phoned Pamela Hall and her camera crew in the first place.
Lefties have many levels of slime within them.
By the way - did you see the way Mona was pouting when they put the cuffs on her. Petulant little child - got her hand slapped.
"More on Toronto Star columnist Mona Eltahawy"
I think you could have saved a little bit of band width by leaving out an e and a space from those first two words.
What a loud mouth bitch... "I'm expressing my right to freedom of speech"... who the hell is she kidding, besides herself... Screeching like a jihadist lunatic and defacing private property has nothing to do with "exercising free speech". Whats she gonna do next... strap a bomb to herself and say she was just exercising her right to free speech? F##K off back to the stone age, you crazy cow! Another example of why the west has got to wake up and fight back against savages like this radical inbred cultist. Good for the woman with the camera, glad she kept her cool... I would've grabbed that can of paint right out of her hand and painted "free speech" all over her ugly face!
She got raped and nearly killed in Egypt and yet she still supports their cause,one has to abandon all common sense when dealing with lefties.
see what happens when you allow these "people" in our country? They t ry to take over.
I'm thinking it's a code. Made to look like semi-coherent crazy talk.
A message from the future?
Does anyone have the cipher?
Why we keep dragging these Muslim camel herders into the west defies logic. When you scroll down the charts below you can see nothing good can ever come from it.
http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/Pages/Opinion-Polls.htm
To Mona and so.
If you find the advertisement offensive, in the civilized world that's your problem, nobody else's.
Just because you live in a prison of your own design does not give you the right to deface an advertisement, which is the true expression of free speech.
Spay painting something is NOT free speech, at the very least it is vandalism.
If our free speech bothers you, you are entirely free to go back to where you came from.
so/ok/new/whatever said: "support israel we want to come and kill and war you all muslim"
Well you know dearie, we kinda do. Because your countrymen are friggin' p1ssing us off with all the raping, killing and blowing stuff up. Not everyone in North America is a restrained, tolerant, peaceful person like Pamela Hall with the camera there either. She's a pretty nice lady from what I hear.
When a person emigrates to a country, it is usually considered polite to learn the laws and customs of the country that gave them the priviledge (not the right) to live there.
At some point, you will push the limits of our tolerance toward your intolerance a bit too much. At that time, do not be surprised if there are people who are more than willing to push back.
so:
Repeat after me:
Eye ham sofa king wee Todd hid.
Keep saying it until it clicks...
According to SO Canada only allows gay immigration.Shouldn't SO tell all gay immigrants to go to Iran where according to him,Ahamdinijad can cure one of this affliction.
To use your own words, I don't give a shit that your feelings are hurt.
It happens to everybody in a free society.
Get used to it.
That's the way we like it and the more you try to stifle free speech, the more we will speak out.
In this country, we do not kill people who disagree with us. That's why you are savages.
Guess Mona's not the only unhinged female around, eh?
So stupid.
So pathetic.
So useless.
So feel sorry for so having to endure a life with such a profound mental, psychological and moral handicap.
So lip locked on life's nipple dispensing kook's kool aide.
So nobody cares.
So nobody gives a flying crap.
So nobody has to endure what so has to endure.
So good bye.
Notice - the only hominids threatening to kill people in these coments are muslim ragheads. The rest of you comenters are lucid and in sync with the Anglo Saxon system of laws and government. The bloody goat fu..ers will never get it. And finally so/set, etc. when you threaten us, you may piss us off as much as you appear to be. And damn right we have the capabilities to bomb you back to the stone age. Keep it up you stupid son of a pig and we might turn your beautiful countries to green glass. You muslims have no honor, no concept of the meaning of the word.
Just stop or what?
Who is being abused in the Middle East right now? Muslims killing other Muslims and threatening to kill everybody else.
Who is perpetrating the violence and doing actual killing?
Quite honestly, the problem and the solution is within your community. If you don't like violence as you claim, then it's up to you to do something about the people who ruin your tribe's reputation.
Your death cult to subjugate humanity masquerading as a so-called religion does not belong in the free world. If you agree, you will do all you can to stop them.
In the meantime, quit lecturing us about how we have to put up with the idiots within your own cult, which places the Son of God at No. 2 behind failed human being Muhammad.
We will not stop shining the light of truth on you. We will not be shut up.
That video perfectly illustrates why it feels so good to know I am diametrically opposed to everything her and her ilk believe in. Also why I love arguing with liberals. I wish so badly I witnessed that
NThe Phantom at September 26, 2012 7:07 PM
"not everyone in North America is a restrained, tolerant, peaceful person like Pamela Hall with the camera there either."
Yeah I'm certainly not. They want equality...they'll get it.

"...She destroyed a hate sign"
I find that a burka and a mosque are both signs of hate in the west. Can I destroy them?
I would suggest that Kate get someone to find these muslim threateners' IP address and then see if there is anyone in either the US or Canadian governments that have the cajones to charge them and deport them. I don't think they will. Both governments are politicized and gutless.

“It would be, according to her definition, freedom of expression to punch her lights out.”
It’s weird in that bile literally rose in my throat and images of decking her flashed in my head when she assaulted the woman with the camera.
Had that been me that was spray painted I’m thinking that I probably would have instinctively reacted and laid her out with one shot, consequences be damned.
If no one will stand up to these freaks then all is lost to our way of life. They will never take NO as an answer, that is why it’s always bloody and violent with them everywhere they go.
