Too Bad for the Islamists That Markham Doesn't Have a Jewish Chaplain Who Can Be Pushed Around

Pamela Geller writes:

I am scheduled to speak in Markham, Ontario along with my colleague Robert Spencer Tuesday evening. Apparently the opposition couldn’t get the police to do their dirty work this time, as they did last spring, when members of the York Regional Police force strongarmed a rabbi into canceling my scheduled talk at his synagogue. That talk went on as scheduled in a different venue, and now that those cops are under investigation, Muslim Brotherhood proxies are trying to get Spencer and me banned from Canada now. 

In connection with my earlier police-induced cancellation, Mark Steyn pointed out that Canadian officials have turned a blind eye to real preachers of hate: “Pamela Geller, tireless campaigner against Islamic imperialism (and a lady I had the honor of being introduced by at CPAC a few years back), was scheduled to give a speech at a Toronto synagogue on May 13. Miss Geller is not a convicted terrorist or terrorism-supporter or someone who argues for the execution of all homosexuals. If she were, she could speak at any Canadian venue with impunity.” 

As always, the media eagerly carries water for Islamic supremacists and Sharia thugs. Nevertheless, every time it happens, it’s astounding. The Huffington Post carried a Canadian Press story about this “controversy” over the upcoming talk, with the headline “Pamela Geller, Robert Spencer Toronto Talk Flagged By Canadian Muslim Leaders.” The story said: “The National Council of Canadian Muslims worries Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer will spread ‘hate and misinformation’ about the Islamic faith when they speak at a Toronto-area hotel Tuesday evening, the group’s executive director said.” 

Our talk has been “flagged by Canadian Muslim leaders” who are worried that we will spread “hate and misinformation.” “Canadian Muslim leaders”? “Hate and misinformation?” Actually, the group that is complaining, the National Council of Canadian Muslims, was up until recently known as CAIR-Canada. It is still the Canadian branch of the Hamas-tied Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). The NCCN is not “Canadian Muslim leaders,” it’s Hamas-CAIR, a Muslim Brotherhood front group, named an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding trial...

Yes, but with a name change to help muddy its provenance, the NCCM is the angling to become the top dog of "moderate" Muslim lobby groups in Canada, and so far, so good (i.e. bad).
