Another day, another illiterate, belligerent Muslim takes a Canadian conservative to the “Human Rights” Commission…
When I was in London talking about my book The Tyranny of Nice, I met lots of wonderful folks, including blogger Andrew Lawton. (If you’ve ever been to CPAC, you might have met Andrew — he’s quite the gregarious guy.)
He told me he’d just received his first Human Rights complaint and was so thrilled. (I’m jealous!) He wasn’t quite sure how far it would go, but for now he was relying on an email he’d just received that read:
Your hateful blog

Mr. Lawton:I am writing today to inform you that as of 10:27am EST this morning, I have filed a claim against you under the Canadian Human Rights Commission. Among other hateful and inflammatory remarks made on your blog, www.RightWingCanada.com, you referred to President Obama as “Barack Hussein Obama,” citing that he is an Arab-American. This was made in a hateful and dirogatory manner, and such racist propaganda is forbidden under section 13(1) of the Canadian Human Rights Act.
I hope that you go down in flames like your other Nazi friends.
Ma-Z
As BlazingCatFur notes in the comments: Hey, I thought Arabs liked the Nazis…
Yeah, we’ve got lots of deeply confused Muslims running around Canada these days.
If you’d like to express your thoughts on the matter to Mohammed, see his email above.
You might also wish to ask the Canadian Human Rights Commission about the status of this case, express your feelings about this use of our tax dollars.
Or, if you are an American citizen, inquire as to the legality of using your President’s middle name in public should you ever visit Canada.
