"The reaction of Israel’s stubborn backers is understandable. Criticism of Israel has been effectively stifled in North America. But North American Jews and others are decent people. They are now getting to see the reality in the Middle East, as the church’s working group did. It is not surprising that they are beginning to speak out for justice"

Mohammed Azhar Ali Khan, a chap who's been garlanded with just about every major non-military prize in the land (he's won the Order of Canada, the Order of Ontario, the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee and Golden Jubilee awards), applauds the United Church and quisling Jews, and slams perfidious Zion (on the Toronto Muslims website).

Interesting how we always seem to hand out these prizes to Mr. Khan and Harpoon Siddiqui but not to, say, Irshad Manji and Salim Mansur.
