Students Learn: Nothing Comes Without a Price
A fascinating nugget came out of TVO’s Steve Paikin’s appearance on Dennis Miller’s radio show the other day. It seems that the three Osgoode Hall Law School students fronting radical Islamist Mohammed Elmasry’s Human Rights Commission complaints against Maclean’s magazine - Khurram Awan, Naseem Mithoowani, and Muneeza Sheikh - confided to Paikin after their appearance on his show, that they are having trouble finding articling jobs, because they are being seen as anti-freedom-of-speech. Listen to the fine 8-minute interview from Miller’s show here.
When they signed up to be the media-friendly faces of Elmasry’s Canadian Islamic Congress in its assault on our centuries-old tradition of freedom of expression, perhaps they never considered that there may be consequences to their fun little adventure. What they ended up with was a very expensive learning experience, one that has already hurt their careers before their careers have even begun. Tough for them. Meanwhile, Mr. “every Israeli citizen is a legitimate terrorist target” Elmasry should be ashamed of himself, for exploiting impressionable young people to further his own agenda. Then again, he can’t help himself - that’s just what his ilk do.
