: Dispatches from the Culture WarsCanadian (Anti) Human Rights Commissions
By Ed Brayton
For those who have attempted to defend the Canadian "human rights commissions" and their appalling and unjust hate speech codes, please read this article. Here's one of the statements made by Mark Steyn that has made him the target of the BC Human Rights Commission:
Signora Fallaci then moves on to the livelier examples of contemporary Islam -- for example, Ayatollah Khomeini's "Blue Book" and its helpful advice on romantic matters: "If a man marries a minor who has reached the age of nine and if during the defloration he immediately breaks the hymen, he cannot enjoy her any longer." I'll say. I know it always ruins my evening.
A quote - an accurate quote - from a prominent Muslim leader is enough to get you brought up on hate speech charges. Absolutely indefensible.
