As Usual The Flaggman Is Right On The Money

The Line Starts On The LEFT

Two of the Khadr's family biggest supporters seem to have been Chretin and now Martin. Hmm! That says volumes about the Liberal party and their supporters. And of course we now have the left wing and Kkadr's compatriots going after Harper for his hands off approach. Havent heard anything from Taliban Jack on this matter........looking for an update.

Is the tedious anti-American leftist whining over yet? Omar Khadr, getting what he deserves.

Has the leftist hysteria over the cause of Omar Khadr subsided yet? Probably not. But the mainstream support for his return to Canada probably hit a peak the day BEFORE the “smoking gun” interrogation tapes were released last week, and is surely on the wane. As Michael Coren and Mark Bonokoski of the Toronto Sun observed this weekend, the images of a self-pitying liar showing neither a dash of remorse nor a sign of mistreatment during interrogation by Canadian officials, are more likely to have extinguished Canadians’ sympathy for him, than fuelled it.

Tarek Fatah on Mohamed Elmasry: Canadian Islamic Congress president plays the race card – badly

Posted: July 22, 2008, 6:00 PM by Dan Goldbloom

Mohamed Elmasry, president of the Canadian Islamic Congress and the self-styled caliph of Canada has a way with words. If he is not praising the dictator of Zimbabwe, he is claiming that Egypt has more press freedom than Canada or he is justifying the targeting of Israeli civilians as legitimate combatants.

Yesterday, in an op-ed piece distributed on his e-mail list, Elmasry accused Prime Minister Stephen Harper of being a racist, saying the PM remains indifferent to Omar Khadr’s plight because the young man is “brown-skinned.”

And if playing the race card was not enough, Elmasry compared Omar Khadr's internment to that of William Sampson who was sentenced to death in Saudi Arabia in 2003. Elmasry asked: “Why is Stephen Harper so callously indifferent to Omar Khadr’s case? It’s painfully obvious: William Sampson is a white Westerner while his fellow Canadian citizen, Omar Khadr, is brown-skinned and a Muslim.”

Did it occur to Elmasry that William Sampson had not gone to Saudi Arabia to wage a crusade against Islam while Khadr was a recruit in Osama Bin Laden's jihad against Canada and its coalition partners in NATO?
