Congratulations to Faisal Kutty

Faisal Kutty is a lawyer in Ontario. He is Vice-Chair of the Canadian branch of CAIR, a group which was recently named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the HLF terrorist funding trial. As is usual with members of CAIR, he is not at all concerned with promoting "relations" between Muslims and kafirs, as CAIR claims to want to, but is rather concerned with advancing particularly Islamic goals with no regard for kafirs. Let's just go over some of these.

He argues in favour of the implementation of Sharia courts in Canada. He pulls on there being a backlog in the courts as a reason for implementing Sharia courts to deal with family-issues of Muslims. Why not just buttress the secular system if it is backlogged? Far too radical an idea for Kutty -- we clearly need Sharia law.

He pushes for even more Sharia in Canada with the establishment of Sharia-compliant banks.

He wants to strengthen the Human Rights Commission in order to combat "rising...Islamophobia." Even though he produces no examples of Muslims' human rights being abused, and certainly not of them being abused in any way over and above non-Muslims. This is the same Human Rights Commission that was investigating Free Dominion for making "anti-Islam" statements, as if criticising a religion was somehow a crime.

He hopes for the Canadian government to quash Jewish charities that send money to Israel. Apparently it's not enough just to defend Muslim interests, one must also attack the interests of members of other religions.

He laments the existence of free speech in Canada as seen in the republication of the Danish Mohammed cartoons and calls these "hate speech." He looks at various ways that those who publish the cartoons might be tried in Canada. Here's an example of this supposed hate speech:This is not hate speech. It is a poignant caricature of a historical (or not so historical) political leader. It's wit lies in graphically connecting him with violence and deceit by the inclusion of an obscured bomb as part of his headdress. Islamists want to stop the publication of this cartoon because it calls them what they are, and their ideology what it is: violent and deceitful. If Muslims disagree that their prophet was essentially wicked, then they are free to counteract that perception with their own arguments. But Kutty and the extremists would rather just try to silent their critics, as if that helps their case.

Finally, here's one of the most bizarre claims made by Kutty in an article about the Islamic practice of the Hajj: "In fact, as part of the spiritual experience, the [Hajj] links people across religions who believe in the common origin of humanity through a past shared by several Abrahamic traditions." What? Kafirs are specifically forbidden from going to Mecca as the Hajj does. How does a pilgrimage, which excludes non-Muslims, "link" Muslims and non-Muslims, as Kutty contends? How is excluding like linking? It's the exact opposite! That anyone would make such a claim is almost beyond belief. But Kutty, you did it. Congratulations.

Faisal Kutty's idea of "linking" people of different faiths put into practice in Arabia:
