Everyday Life in the Trudeaupia: Quick's Okay But Geller's Beyond the Pale

So here's how it works in "diversity"-crazed Toronto and environs: anti-jihadist Pamela Geller is said by police to not reflect community "values" and an alternate venue must be found for her to speak. Meanwhile, Dr. Abdullah Hakim Quick, a man who has some, ahem, interesting things to say about Jews and gays (he calls the former "filth" and thinks the latter should be killed) is slated to appear at the ISNA Canada convention later this month, and you can bet than no one in any local constabulary will see fit to pay a visit to ISNA headquarters to complain about it. It might disrupt all that desperate bridge-building, after all.

Update: The cops are planning to keep the peace when Geller speaks on the 13th, right? The only reason I ask is because it isn't entirely clear from this:

TORONTO - Toronto Police won’t say how they’ll handle an anti-Islamist firebrand set to give a speech in the city — after police in Thornhill forced a rabbi to cancel her scheduled talk at a synagogue there.

Pamela Geller, a controversial speaker best known for protesting a planned mosque near Ground Zero in New York and plastering that city’s subway system with anti-jihad ads, will speak May 13 at the Toronto Zionist Centre, a pro-Israel rental space located on Marlee Ave., near Lawrence Ave. W. and the Allen Expy.

Geller, who is being brought in to speak by the hard-line Jewish Defence League (JDL), was originally supposed to lecture at the Chabad Flamingo Synagogue in Thornhill, but York Regional Police threatened its rabbi with his removal as a police chaplain if he let the event happen.

Many of Geller’s speeches in the past have drawn protesters. A Geller talk in New York last month was cancelled and moved to another venue, but not without a heavy police presence.

The JDL’s Meir Weinstein told the Toronto Sun his organization will have at least 30 of its own security personnel for Geller’s Toronto lecture, and they’re prepared for physical altercation with protesters.

“We’re quite prepared for anything that disrupts the event,” Weinstein said. “If it does happen, we’ll be ready. And anyway, we expect (Toronto) police to do their job.”

The police, however, were not forthcoming as to what that job would be.

“We don’t speculate on what may or may not happen at events,” is all spokesman Const. Tony Vella would say, adding nobody from Toronto Police’s hate crimes unit was willing to speak about the coming event...

They won't "speculate"? Why the hell not? Isn't that part of their job--to take the lay of the land and prepare for it?

What are cops afraid of--that they'll actually have to support Geller's right to speak?

I don't know about you, but Const. Vella's words don't exactly instill me with a great deal of confidence.
