Fear Factor: Are Canadian MPs afraid to speak out against radical Islam?
This week, a Canadian blogger obtained talking points that were supposedly sent to some Conservative MPs from Justice Minister Rob Nicholson's office basically not taking a position on a private member's motion to remove the hate speech clause of the Canadian Human Rights Act.
The issue has raised attention after Islamic groups have filed human rights complaints against Ezra Levant and Mark Steyn.
Keith Martin, the MP who introduced the motion is a Liberal. So the complete silence from Conservative MPs on his motion the and alleged evasive government talking points has angered grassroots conservative supporters who feel Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his insiders are more concerned about avoiding a fight with Canada's left wing establishment than standing up for fundamental conservative principles, such as freedom of expression.
However, another theory has emerged from Parliament Hill reporter Deborah Gyapong. Call it the Geert Wilders Effect.
Here's Gyapong's latest post.
Last week when I was on the Hill mingling with some MPs from both the Liberal and the Tory parties, I asked an MP for an opinion on the freedom of speech/ Ezra Levant and Mark Steyn human rights complaints. This particular MP was appalled by it. I asked this individual for a public comment. After a few moments thought, the MP decided not to. Then this person mused--alas, I did not have a notebook or my recorder out so I can't recall the exact words--that some MPs might be afraid to speak out on this issue, afraid their families might be targeted.
This was said in a casual manner, as social chit chat, so it didn't register with me perhaps as much as it should have at the time. But the conversation keeps coming back to me. I haven't been able to get away from a gnawing sense of unease. Is this possibly the case? Are some MPs not speaking out on Parliament Hill out of a sense of intimidation when it comes to any form of criticism of radical Islam?
Photos of woman attacked after filing human rights complaint against Calgary imam
On Friday, I told you that one of the three women who filed a human rights complaint against a Calgary imam was attacked in her home by a male and a burka-clad woman.
The attackers claimed they came from the imam's mosque and this was the "first installment."
Syed Soharwardy, who is the imam at the Al-Madinah mosque, said it was not possible anyone from his mosque would commit such an act. Soharwardy is known nationally in Canada because of his human rights complaint against Ezra Levant.
The Calgary Herald reported the attack victim, Robina Butt, suffered a number of cuts to her hand as well as bumps and bruises. However, Levant has posted photos from a foreign-language newspaper, which he claims are of Butt and they suggest her injuries appear more serious than was reported.

Even though the imam dropped his human rights complaint against Levant this week, Ezra is not letting go and like a pitbull he is countersuing for abuse of process and plans to keep embarrassing Soharwardy on his blog.
He even plans to put up video soon of the mosque meeting which resulted in Butt filing her human rights complaint.
Video: U.S. soldier in Iraq discusses jihad and the media (coarse language)
United States soldiers, we're dicks.
And terrorists they're pussies.
And pussies don't like dicks because dicks fuck the pussies.
And the media? They're assholes.
And assholes don't like dicks either because dicks sometimes fuck assholes.
So if you assholes don't let us do our jobs and fuck these pussies then we're gonna fuckin' put a jihad on you, too.
Thank you.
