Sheema Strikes Again!

Ever-insightful CAIR-CAN founder Sheema Khan (who left the Islamic lobby body and moved right into a slot at the Globe and Mail) is disturbed by the Conservative government's promise to establish a body to oversee/safeguard religious freedom:

So why these initiatives to protect religious freedom abroad? According to Thomas Farr, a former director of the Office of International Religious Freedom, the key factor is the upheaval in the Middle East. He believes that stable democracies can emerge only if religious freedom is adopted by these societies.

The U.S. office’s annual reports criticize both America’s foes (China, Iran and North Korea) and allies (Saudi Arabia and Israel). The report on Israel, for instance, highlights religious hardship imposed on Christians and Muslims as a result of the West Bank Wall, travel restrictions and the zealotry of Israeli settlers. Will a future Canadian report publish similar findings, or will it remain uncritical of Israeli policies in accordance with prime ministerial directives?

Canadians should closely monitor the Office of Religious Freedom – will it operate on principles or politics?

Notice what Sheema did there? She cleverly bracketed Saudi Arabia (where there's no religious freedom) and Israel (where there is religious freedom)--and then slammed Israel.  

The better question to ask is: when will Sheema, who operates according to Islamic principles and lefto-'slamist politics, lay off the smears against the Mideast's sole democracy and lone non-failed state?

That's rhetorical, of course, since the only possible answer is: Not as long as she lives and breathes.
