Congrats to Mark Steyn and MacLean’s!

The Globe and Mail reports that the Canadian Human Rights Commission has dismissed the complaint against Steyn and the magazine he frequently writes for (via Mark Hemingway):

The Canadian Human Rights Commission has dismissed a complaint against Maclean’s magazine over a controversial article on the future of Islam, magazine officials said yesterday.

Meanwhile, a decision from the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal over the same issue isn’t expected for several months.

The Canadian Islamic Congress launched the dual complaints over an article by Maclean’s journalist Mark Steyn. The article, The Future Belongs to Islam, came under fire by Muslim critics who claimed it spreads Islamophobia.

One down, one to go. Here’s to you, your royal fineness!

Actually I don’t think this is the best outcome, as it leaves the petty fascists free to bully less titanic targets. They misjudged the level of popular outrage and ridicule they’d get once the rock was lifted and people saw what loathsome creatures they were, so they cut their losses and ran away. Their only mistake was in taking on two highly visible and well respected targets.

This extrajudicial abomination needs to be continuously exposed, to the point where even the Canadian government, which would much rather look the other way, is forced by popular outcry to drop the hammer. These clowns have ruined enough reputations and extorted enough money for them all to go to jail under whatever the Canuck equivalent of RICO is.
