I haven't seen Tamil like marches, burning of Harper in effigy, shutdown of critical services, etc. The "outrage is a figment of the MSM and some social in-activists who are playing 53 card games.by Haroon Siddiqui
- Jonathan Kay: The Muslim Canadian Congress makes an excellent point about the Suaad Mohamud case
-
Since the media began reporting on the case of Suaad Mohamud — the Somali-Canadian woman unjustly detained in Kenya over suspicions that she was not who she said she was — many irresponsible outlets have been suggesting that her mistreatment originated in the supposed racism of Stephen Harper's conservative government. Leading the pack in this regard has been the Toronto Star's Chirstopher Hume who, as already noted, uncorked an unhinged rant citing the episode as evidence that Canada has become an "apartheid" state.
But who is the Canadian Vice Consul in Kenya — the Canadian government's main actor on this case, and the person who allegedly persuaded the Kenyans to lock Mohamud up? Following the logic of Hume, one would assume she is some neo-Nazi thug who Harper picked up off the streets of Calgary and dispatched to Africa with instructions to keep the blacks out of our backyards. Oops: As highlighted in the following Muslim Canadian Congress press release, turns out the woman is a female Egyptian-Canadian bureaucrat.
In other words — to the entirely unproven extent we are dealing with any kind of racial animus at all — what we are allegedly confronting is not White-on-black racism, but Arab-on-black racism (the same kind of racism behind the extermination of hundreds of thousands of blacks in Darfur).
Arabs vs. blacks? Not quite as sexy as "apartheid," is it Mr. Hume?

perhaps if you stepped out your front door, and didn't have such selective hearing, you would have heard the outrage that has been happening for some time.
Then again, given your comment comparing to the tamil protests, it seems that you only consider groups that stage the kind of massive demonstrations the Tamils did, as valid outrage. I guess less 'in your face' protests seems to escape your notice.
Funny that...
