CAIR Calls For Arrest of Muslim Terrorist
Posted by Dave Blount at January 22, 2007 10:09 PM
Now that I have your attention, a couple of caveats: Zachariah Anani is no longer a Muslim or a terrorist — which is why CAIR wants him arrested.
The former militant Anani has turned away from the darkness and converted to Christianity. Worse, he tried to warn people of the dangers of radical Islam at an Ontario church, in a speech consisting almost entirely of passages read directly from the Koran.
CAIR Canada and the Windsor Islamic Association are now trying to have him thrown in jail. Despicably, the Mayor of Windsor and two members of Canada's Parliament joined in denouncing Anani for siding with the good guys against Islamic terror.
The reverence for freedom of speech is somewhat limited north of the border. Consequently there are vague laws against spreading hatred that could conceivably be used to persecute Anani.
Walid Shoebat, another former terrorist, is understandably concerned:
Incarcerating or deporting a former terrorist who wants to warn the world about extremism will set a dangerous precedence for Canada. Instead of censoring free speech, CAIR should be encouraging Muslims to embrace Canadian culture, as other groups have, and not try to change it in a way that will censor the freedoms Canadians have fought and died for.
Shoebat would like CAIR and the countless other Islamic lobbying groups that have been sprouting like pustules on a smallpox victim to speak out against murder, rape, forced conversion, genital mutilation, and other wonderful multicultural activities excused or imposed by Islam. But that might be a little much to expect of terrorist front groups engaged in a struggle to obliterate Western Civilization.
