Honoured Guests and Visitors
Seems there's no end to the number of perniciously racist internationals being invited to speak at events within Canada sponsored by an astonishing number of 'peace' groups. As though there aren't a sufficient number of Canadians who espouse views that are clearly meant to create division between people of different faiths, cultures and ethnic backgrounds, it hardly seems needful that more be imported to hammer home more hate-fest-ridden conferences in the ongoing search for 'peace'.No sooner than British MP George Galloway is denied entry to Canada for a series of speaking engagement, than we're once again assailed with new information on invitations to two Palestinian clerics coming to Canada to spread their messages of friendly brotherhood and peace on earth. Mr. Galloway is currently contesting his exclusion from Canada. The other esteemed visitors will take up his slack.
Mr. Galloway, however, has been here before, on previous speaking engagements. And feels it entirely unreasonable that he has been declared persona non grata. He's comfortable in his support of Hamas, an outlawed terror group in Canada and elsewhere, just as he was comfortable in flying to Baghdad to give aid and comfort to that mass murderer, Saddam Hussein.
And when the Province of Ontario was entertaining the possibility of agreeing to Canadian Islamists' demands to introduce sharia law to the province, there was George Galloway, visiting Canada, defending the rights of Muslims to be governed within Canada, under sharia law.
Mr. Galloway and former London mayor Ken Livingston, must have been ecstatic when Britain quietly ushered in that same sharia law that condones the execution of gays and wife-beating on the basis that opposition to radical Islam is 'racist'. It took the active denunciations of sharia by Canadian Muslim women to finally persuade Ontario to back down.
The new invitees to speak at an event sponsored by Palestine House in Toronto, are the former Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, whose forte is the support of suicide bombings and rejection of the Holocaust, along with the "Archbishop of Sebastia from the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Jerusalem. Ekrima Sabri, former Grand Mufti of Jerusalem is capable of adding much to the debate currently raging about Israel and the Palestinians.
"He is a peace activist", according to a spokesman for Palestine House. In fact, both of the invitees are "moderate people". Palestine House, among other 'social activist' and 'peace groups' was behind the Israeli Apartheid Week, whose agenda was so clearly to bring an atmosphere of understanding, acceptance, brotherhood and co-operation between Palestinians and Jews.
Ekrima Sabri is on record as claiming to be "filled with rage toward the Jews" although he has never 'greeted' a Jew, as "The Jews do not bother me, because they are the most cowardly creatures Allah has ever created". That's an interesting admission, that 'Allah created Jews', since according to the Koran Muslims are enjoined to respect all creeds, all men as equals, although throughout the history of Islam nothing could be further from reality in practise.
Mr. Sabri's effusive praise for "martyrs" who valiantly respond to exhortations to jihad and lend themselves to suicide bombings speaks volumes about his commitment to peace and good fellowship. He is especially appreciative of child bombers: "The younger the martyr, the greater - and the more I respect him", he has claimed.
Meanwhile, there does exist within Canada groups that genuinely do wish to foster understanding and good relations between Jews and Palestinians and Canadians; youth who gather yearly to participate in fellowship through a group called Peace It Together, in a year-long curriculum that teaches conflict resolution skills empowering the participants to think creatively and positively.
Exposed to one another for the first time, these youth realize that living with pervasive fear and hostility created alienation, blame and hatred leading to violence. They're taught the culture of compromise and negotiation instead, to prepare them to become leaders within their various communities, in a search for a viable peace.
Those are the honoured guests and visitors to Canada.
