Rights bodies vulnerable to 'political Islam': B'nai Brith
'Human rights commissions just don't get it'
Canada's human rights commissions have shown "a disastrous combination of
investigative zeal and substantive ignorance" that has left them vulnerable
to abuse by "political Islam," the same ideology that has hijacked the
United Nations human rights council, according to B'nai Brith Canada.
In a submission to an independent review of the Canadian Human Rights
Commission's hate speech mandate, the Jewish human rights group states that
"when it comes to this particular threat to human rights, human rights
commissions just don't get it."
"Human rights commissions, like generals, are fighting the last war. They do
not see new threats until they are overwhelmed by them. If, out of
generosity than for no other reason, we should assume ignorance rather than
wilful blindness, then the remedy is education and training," reads the
report, written by B'nai Brith's senior legal counsel, David Matas.
His central thesis is that political Islam, an ideology that seeks to limit
freedoms by marshalling the power of the state in defence of religion,
constitutes the gravest threat to Canada's human rights system. He points to
the Organization of the Islamic Conference, an international Muslim group
that "successfully hijacked UN institutions to impose its own radicalized
agenda," and to the utter failure of many UN anti-racism initiatives, which
have degenerated into outright anti-Semitism.
The Canadian Islamic Congress, which brought three high-profile human rights
complaints of Islamophobia against Maclean's magazine, and has close ties to
the OIC, did not respond to requests for comment yesterday.
Tarek Fatah, the co-founder of the reform-minded Muslim Canadian Congress,
said Canadians are "not at all" aware that Islamists are "using Western law
to attack Western values."
"Neither the Conservatives nor the Liberals have any interest in this. Their
effort is to appease these Islamist groups. They don't wish to offend, and
therefore the Islamists can walk over and literally blackmail politicians
and the liberal intelligentsia into not saying a word about it," he said.
Mr. Fatah described the Islamist strategy as two-fold. Non-Muslim critics of
Islam are labelled "Islamophobic," which is equated in the public mind with
racism, one of the most serious accusations in civil society. Muslim
critics, however, such as Mr. Fatah himself, are labelled "apostates," which
he called a "hidden death threat."
It is this context that Canada's human rights commissions have failed to
appreciate, the B'nai Brith report says.
It singles out Barbara Hall, chief commissioner of the Ontario Human Rights
Commission, for her "egregious" and "appalling" treatment of the complaint
against Maclean's, which she dismissed as out of her jurisdiction, but went
on to denounce the magazine for racism. Mr. Matas said this "made a human
rights threat more acute."
In addition to better education and training, the report calls for
substantial procedural reforms, including the awarding of costs to
successful defendants, a prohibition on filing the same complaint in
multiple jurisdictions, formal guarantees of due process, the right to
disclosure and the right to know one's accuser.
Though deeply critical, the report said that to eliminate human rights hate
speech laws -- as has been proposed by Liberal MP Keith Martin, with
substantial cross-party support -- would amount to "self-inflicted harm."
Free speech is "the media's favourite human right," the report reads, and
"those who advocate freedom of expression often go on to deny the equal
right to be protected from advocacy of hatred.... The Holocaust did not
begin with censorship. It began with hate speech. Auschwitz was built with
words. The killing fields of Cambodia were sowed with slogans. The genocide
of Rwanda was spread by radio. Bosnia was ethnically cleansed by
television."
The report rejects the argument that hate-mongers in Canada are so
marginalized that pursuing human rights complaints against them is an
overreaction, saying that this logic fails to appreciate that it was hate
speech laws that marginalized them in the first place.
It credits these laws with providing a more direct and less onerous response
to hate-mongering than criminal prosecutions, and points to the prosecutions
of anti-Semite schoolteacher Malcolm Ross in 1988, Holocaust denier Ernst
Zundel in 1996 and white supremacist Terry Long in 1989 as particular
successes.
The debate this year over human rights law and free speech has shaken a
bureaucracy that had previously operated with little public attention.
Driven by conservative bloggers, notably Ezra Levant, and fuelled by some
surprising revelations, such as the apparent hacking of a civilian's
Internet connection by a hate speech investigator, the debate has become a
voting issue, and prompted the Canadian Human Rights Commission to engage in
public soul-searching, while also defending itself as a mere creature of
statute, both empowered and hamstrung by Parliament's laws.
Richard Moon, a University of Windsor law professor who was appointed by the
CHRC and is expected to publish his recommendations on hate speech in
October, said few of his contributors have given him briefs as formal and
substantial as B'nai Brith's. Instead, he has engaged in informal meetings,
e-mail correspondence and phone calls.
"The time constraints on me, and resource constraints, too, meant I haven't
been able to do anything comprehensively. So what I've really aimed to do is
just make sure I spoke to a representative group -- those who have grave
reservations and those who support the idea -- so that I would hopefully get
the full range of perspective," Prof. Moon said.
B'nai Brith is uniquely placed to contribute to that perspective, in that it
has experience on all sides of the issue. They are an intervenor in a
prominent hate speech case against far-right propagandist Marc Lemire, in
which they support the hate speech provisions used against him.
They brought a hate speech complaint, now resolved, against the Victoria-
based Web site pej.orgover its writings about the "Jewish Lobby." And they
are a respondent in a hate speech case in Manitoba, over their sponsorship
of a conference about terrorism for emergency responders. That case, brought
by a Winnipeg Muslim leader who did not actually attend the conference, has
taken almost five years to investigate. That experience has led to their
current stance, which is deeply critical, but fundamentally supportive.
"Our overall conclusion is that condemnation of human rights law's
jurisdiction over hate has become surrogate for criticism which is more
properly directed elsewhere; to abusive complaints, lack of training for
human rights commission staff, and procedural flaws in the system," the
report reads.

Give us back our countries: Stop the criminal multiculturalism ideology

mass immigration from the third-world: Mul-cul + pol-corr = lethal mixture

PS
Tanto piacevole è che l'ebreo organizzato adesso ammette il suo errore di 
promuovere l'immigrazione maommettana (se anche indirettamente), tanto 
ricusiamo i suoi tentativi di prendere decisioni importanti per noi anche 
nel futuro. Abbiamo la libertà di espressione, anche se non piace al ebreo, 
e non è il suo compito di darci consigli dove limitarla, solo afinché lo 
straniero ebreo possa sentirsi meglio da noi.
Abbiamo, comunque, un consiglio per l'ebreo, e è di ritornare al suo paese 
di origine, Israele, affinché possiamo alfine terminare la coesistenza - 
preso tutto in considerazione - poco piacevole tra noi.
