JDL Blog: A Letter to Stewart Bell (National Post) in Response by JR in Ottawa

http://jdlcanada.wordpress.com/2011/01/09/a-letter-to-stewart-bell-natio...

"...the real enemies of democracy are academics in universities who wilfully corrupt and brainwash students (sometimes using intimidation tactics) to serve their Marxist/Islamist agenda..

 "...What would you do if the authorities did little or absolutely nothing to stop the attacks because of political correctness or the Government's alliance with Islamists? For political reasons the OPP didn't protect victims of Native unrest in Ontario, and are unlikely to protect victims of Islamic Fascism.."

and lots more vile spew proudly displayed by the JDL.

Thanks OG

Isn't the JDL considered a te**orist org in Israel & USA?

Perhaps Bernie should ask Bibi to have a word with Meir...

Jewish and English Defense Leagues Join Forces in Toronto Rally

http://onepeoplesproject.com

"We have covered the EDL previously here on Liberty's Lamp. They are a white power group out of England who are very much like the old National Front, only instead of hating Jews they have a new schtick of embracing Jews for the purpose of ganging up on Muslims.

The JDL is the Jewish Defence League. It's a much older extremist group that goes back a few decades. Here in the US the JDL has tumbled to a pathetic number - primarily consisting of retired and aging doughy tea-bagger types. They don't make much of an impression - aside from an occasional old porky wearing one of their t-shirts at a hate rally.

In Canada, the JDL seems to have a few more members and are slightly more visible in their actions.."

EDL Attempts to Bury 'Paedo Price' Story

"In another desperate attempt to bury the horrible truth about one of their leadership, Stephen Yaxley Lennon - still bizarrely using his 'Tommy Robinson' alias - has this morning posted a rant about Afghan Muslims.."

These are the sorts of people Meir Weinstein JDL wacko has allied himself with on behalf of the zionist cause in Canada. But their murderous Islamaphobia is apparently just what the doctor ordered, in Weinstein's view.

Uncovered: The Unholy Zionist-EDL Marriage:

http://www.rebelnews.org/opinion/hate/383589-uncovered-the-unholy-zionis...

"It is surely not hard to see why a fascist organisation recruiting Jewish Zionists seems like such a strange association at first. In their minds however, the Zionists have convinced themselves that they are manipulating the EDL, which may well be the case. As Roberta Moore said in an interview with Haaretz recently;

'They think the league is exploiting us, while it is really we who initiated the Jewish division. If anything, we are exploiting them.'

Funny enough, this is a claim that some BNP members also share. According to one report, 'BNP leader Nick Griffin ahs claimed that the English Defence League is being manipulated and directed by Zionists to create a race war on the streets of Britain.'

OK, so regardless of who is manipulating whom, we now have Jewish Zionist members of the EDL, and EDL members taking up Israeli flags as a standard part of their protest apparel, but who else do they associate with? A photo taken on 14th August this year shows Jonathan Hoffman, the Vice Chair of the Zionist Federation, waving an Israeli flag at a counter protest outside Ahava in Covent Gardens, standing side by side with Roberta Moore...

The fact that people such as Moore allegedly had or have associations with the extremist terrorist groups such as Kach and are joining forces with the EDL should be a cause of concern not only to British society as a whole but to Jewish people in particular who are at risk of such extreme elements claiming to speak for them.."

Anti-Racist Action (ARA) has a call-out for a counter-demonstration against the JDL-EDL zionazi support rally. (See Rabble Front-Page)

"Gather at the front of Lawrence West Subway station @6:45 PM this Tuesday, Jan.11"

Just heard that this thing may blow up. Apparently Canada's largest Hindu group will be joining the JDL, and they say they will send speakers and a special security team to join the JDL thugs.

Interesting, their spokesperson is a Naresg Patel, same surname as the First Nations guy. Patel versus Patel?

http://www.canhindu.com

In the new EDL-JDL bag of mixed-nuts and useful idiots, a few brown ones are thought to mitigate the embarrassing antics of the nazi-boys and yob elements. Is this Patel one of the Gujarati muslim-hating psychos Harper so loves doing business with by chance? As for hearing 'this thing may blow up' well when you're dealing with fascist scum like this anything can happen.

"There's an East-Indian fellow that the JDL drag around with them - Ron Banerjee of the ungramatically named 'Canadian Hindu Advocacy.' He's a supporter of the far right wing BJP party and the extremist government of Gujurat - which has been implicated in fostering anti-Muslim pogroms and is led by a guy nicknamed 'Hitler'...

And the Canadian chapter of the Jewish Defense League still wants to consult with the EDL on the 'Jihadi menace'. Go Meir Weinstein!"

Jews Against EDL Lauch Unity Voice

"The first joint initiative to combat Jewish support for the English Defence League within the community has been launched. The 'Not in our name - Jews Against the EDL' campaign is backed by more than a dozen organizations..

'Now our community faces a new threat. The EDL claims to be our allies in the fight against extremism. In reality, they are violent racists with BNP members and Nazi sympathisers among their ranks. It is time for the Jewish community to come together to expose the EDL as the racist thugs they are..'"

Were you an eyewittness? There's no mention of anyone but the police and ARA in the following media descriptions of the the confrontation

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/toronto/officer-injured-pro...

http://news.nationalpost.com/2011/01/11/anti-islam-group-draws-fierce-pr...

Let's not give the JDL any undeserved street credibillity.

Wow, punching someone in handcuffs is hardly going to help the JDL's wanna-be tough guy image. Cowards.

i am acquainted with Ron Banerjee, in fact, we've been exchanging emails for the last 15 minutes or so about this event.

he said he was a guest speaker inside, and he claims that his Hindu Advocacy (sic) and JDL security 'assisted' police in 'arresting thugs'. he also insists that the 'security acted lawfully' and says that they 'seized' a large amount of 'paraphanalia' dropped by 'cowards as they ran away'. 

although we're not friends, but i have tried to help Ron in the past. i always confront him when racism, bigotry and homophobia spews from his mouth, but it seems that my efforts fall on deaf ears as he just can't or won't stop. i've come to the conclusion there really seems to be something wrong with his thinking. 

Of the four people arrested, three were released without charges. The fourth appears in court in the morning and has been charged with assault police. It appears the cop was injured by a flagpole when police charged the rally.

Jewish-British anti-Muslim event in Toronto draws protests, arrests

JDL and Canadian Hindu Advocacy in their releases seem to be gloating over the whole thing.

gloating indeed @kinky friedman - Banerjee is claiming that protesters yelled anti-semetic slurs - i won't repeat them here, but i did tell hom that i did not believe him. another of his claims is that that Hindu 'security' and JDL 'security' "lawfully assisted law enforcement in making arrests" and were only acting in self-defense. i told him that was ridiculous and that his goons were thugs. he called the ARA "Utter subhuman monsters. Vermin to the core. Repulsive and despicable creatures." this is the same sort of hateful language he has frequently used publicly to describe muslims. 

Anyone know if this event was in the Marlee and Lawrence area? I live close by and was pulling into the gas station on that corner to fill up and saw a large group waving black and red flags. Looked pretty peaceful for the brief time I was there.

well, the ARA does scream about Nazi thugs, but i doubt they screamed anti-jewish stuff relating to not having enough ovens which is his claim. Banerjee himself, in front of me, use the term "sand n-word". when i object to his saying stuff like this, he says i am 'too touchy'. 

Nothing "vile" or even remotely antisemitic was uttered and given the number of JDL video cameras and the presence of a National Post reporter you can be sure if any such thing was said it would be on YouTube and the right wing hate blogs by now.

The chants were "JDL go to Hell" "EDL go to hell" references to the EDL being nazis etc. The most "controversial" yell was one antifa shouting to the JDL "we like what you did to Zundel's house" referencing the JDL's alleged involvement in the firebombing of the Zundelbunker in the 90s.

As for Banerjee, he is an odd guy. For instance, a few years ago he was thought to be posting on babble pretending to be an anti-Banerjee guy in order to give himself more attention.

"Writing earlier about media complicity with authorities, Mahbob quoted British author Adam Curtis saying 'international terrorism is a fantasy that has been exaggerated and distorted by polticians for political advantage. It's a dark illusion that has spread unquestioned through governments around the world, the security and the international media...

To advance American, UK, Canada and Israeli imperialism, their ruling elites invested heavily to institutionalize animosity towards Muslims and the Arabs. The new 21st century colonial masters view humanity in numbers and digits, not as living moral beings with rights and dignity...

Extremist neo-cons use racism and religious fanaticism to fuel hatred towards Muslims and Islam, and engulf the world with the horror of military conquests (and occupations) to further the dictum of global dominance. In America, Britain, Canada, Israel and other Western states, Muslims are treated like sub-humans, vilified as dangerous villains unfit to co-exist with superior Judeo-Christians, a subtle and overt government/media spread message.

As a result, nominal democracies act tyrannically, serving privileged elites, not popular interests, and needing enemies to justify expansionist policies, including imperial wars and state-sponsored terrorism to further this..'

Canada's War on Islam  - by Stephen Lendman

http://sjlendman.blogspot.com/2010/10/canadas-war-on-islam-case-of-mahbo...

these are the sinister forces, 'useful idiots' like Weinstein, Banerjee and EDL's Yaxley Lennon, truly serve.

yes, indeed he did: "The Hindu Conference of Canada is the largest and most influential Hindu political lobby and media relations organization in Canada, with thousands of members and supporters." - gives a good chuckle. 

excellent points. further up this thread, someone said that no one takes Ron Banerjee seriously, but actually many people do, including some in the media. they really think that he does represent the Hindu community, mainly i suspect, because of his tireless promotion.

he also gets invited to a lot of events and functions. recently, an immigrant group asked him to speak on, get this, "diversity". i said to him: do they know that you hate muslims? what if there are some muslims there?

not everyone seems to know how to use google to check out someone. or they just don't think to do it. 

Actually, it was $3000. Any idea what year that was?

re: "taken seriously"

That's why, as stated by Avigdor Lieberman, Canada is Israel's best friend or as described by George Galloway little more than a consulate for Benjamin Netanyahu. Here's more of ex IDF, Ex Kach spokesperson Meir Weinstein:

"At Ground Zero, Meir Weinstein, director of the Jewish Defense League in Canada, called Rabbi Kahane the first victim of Al Qaeda terrorism on US soil. He decried the proposed building of a Mosque at Grand Zero saying,

the ideology that will be taught in this mosque is the same ideology that is responsible for the murder of Rabbi Kahane. Weinstein said the mosque would represent Islamic dominance as does the mosque that stands on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. 'It is yet another attempt to make all non-Muslims subservient to them,' he said.

Weinstein declared that 'Rabbi Kahane's blood is crying out to us. Today the Arabs stand poised to annihilate us and we are obligated to keep Rabbi Kahane's message alive by preserving Israel as a Jewish state. If the Arabs won't acknowledge Israel as a Jewish state, then they will have to go,' he said,

as he called for the re-location of the Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem. 'What we need now, more than ever, are those who have a Jewish head attached to a Jewish fist, as Rabbi Kahane always said,' he said..

Israel Lobby Strikes Canada

http://sidew.net/2010/08/world/israeli-lobby-strikes-canada.html

"Meir Weinstein, a proxy of Israel and previously a member of the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) has raised eyebrows in Canada over his ability to persuade Minister Kenney to ban MP George Galloway. Furthermore, after the JDL and Weinstein sued the Canadian Arab League for libel, Minister Kenney followed suit by setting a review to slash public funding to the Canadian Arab Federation.

A note that Minister Kenney has perhaps failed to mention as of late, but is certainly gaining attention, was the thwarting of a planned terrorist attack four months after 911 by the JDL. The FBI explains..."

Canadian JDL Extremist Debates Galloway on UK TV

http://www.pogge.ca/archives/002280.shtml

I suspect Bernie had a hand in connecting Weinstein and getting him the influence he has. How otherwise could JDL get Kenny to ban Galloway, if not thru the help of the CJC ??

You see, this is why even smaller and more radical groups have more influence than people give them credit for... other organizations are secretly pumping them up, while publically holding them at arms length.

How does Weinstein get to ban Galloway? How does he speak at important events ? How does Kent show up at Banerjee's rallies ? How does Hindu Advocacy get TDSB funds? How does CCD have the influence it does?

CJC, Bnai, Fraser Institute, etc.... I'd wager good coin that they have something to do with all this.

I'm not advocating hate or violence but sometimes you have to fight someone armed with a sword with a sword.

Sadly,I don't live in T.O. , Counter protests are fine but when thugs try to get physical,you got to push back twice as hard.

I am NOT implying cross hairs and all the NRA zealocity plaguing the U.S. ...Just saying that I'd retaliate if physically attacked.

As mentioned by many a comment,this is toxic...This is a cancer...And what's even more disturbing is these groups have friends in our government.

I liked one idea of Iggy taking a page out of Harper's playbook and put together video which show Conservative ministers and/or senators buddying up to these extremists...terrorists..fascists....Especially because there are videos in existance out there and Canadians should see it.

It amazes me that NO ONE in the MSM is doing their JOB and presenting these FACTS to Canadians..And asshats like Don Cherry think of the media as left wing liberal pinkos...LOL!...I'd like to be taking the drugs he's taking because I'd probably need a few handfuls to believe the media is even BALANCED or to the centre.

Liberal,NDP and Bloc strategists should be on to this like flies on shit (the latter being literal)

But something tells me they won't.

This Banerjee scumbag,the EDL and JDL...These are people who like to use intimidation...They are currently power tripping,saying and doing anything they like with impunity and no opposition.

I can guarantee you that the majority of Canadians don't know anything about these individuals or their groups.

We also have a government who probably paid for the EDL's trip to Canada and probably gives funds to the JDL and Banerjee's klan.

I'm not going to be intimidated..I'm going to stand up...I hope more people do the same....Most people are blissfully ignorant.

If the Opposition can't use these events,these organizations that are championed by The Reform Party,then we are in trouble.

I'm beginning to believe that even the Opposition may be friendly with these groups...Why wouldn't they be coming out like gang busters?

Are they afraid of offending these Neo-Nazi pigs?

There is nothing 'respectable' about the Friends of Simon Wiesenthal. They  also serve a violent zionist agenda. But instead of inviting Tommy fucking whatisname from the EDL, they invite John Bolton, Michael Chertoff and John Howard - and of course ALL  the various pols and  party leaders in Canada who kiss their ass and continue to support ethnic cleansing and other assorted crimes of Israel. Just because it's big and rich doesn't make it 'respectable'. Alan, the opposition is most definitely friendly towards anything Israel wishes. Avigdor Lieberman, on his last visit here,  specifically mentioned meeting with and having the approval of the opposition and 'without even having to explain anything to them' either. Sorry wish it wasn't like that but it is. Will the NDP be supporting Canadian participation in Durban this time around? They didn't last time. I believe the phrase 'never again' has been used with reference to the Nazi holocaust, but the holocaust of Palestinian people and their lands is in the final phases and the international community, especially Canada, does nothing but cheer the criminals on.

Banerjee has a bug up his rear about 'hinduphobia' - http://canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/1635 - he gets very angry when you ask him questions about problems in India such as the extreme poverty that many there face, the still in existence caste system, i think he's a Brahmin (spelling?) which is the highest caste. he also describes himself as a 'hindu nationalist'. 

he dismisses bride burnings as a myth, dismisses the problem of illiteracy, etc. he only wants to talk about the high level of education which some Indians have managed to achieve as well as the business climate which is doing well in one particular India province. the rest he sweeps under the rug or dismisses as 'hinduphobia' or propoganda from 'lying Islamists and Sikhs'. 

i don't know if he got 300 bucks for the article which Alan Smithee mentioned, but he did for this one

http://www.torontosun.com/comment/columnists/2010/12/08/16479261.html?comments_page=4&id=16479261#/comment/columnists/2010/12/08/pf-16479256.html

sometimes he writes for NP as well, not often enough to suit him, but here's an example

http://news.nationalpost.com/2010/05/27/comment-the-better-way-is-in-new-delhi/

and here's him in the Financial Post, not sure what he got, but i do believe he mentioned that he was paid

http://opinion.financialpost.com/2010/09/09/india%E2%80%99s-green-lead/#more-4891

he also gets paid to maintain the main JDL site. you'll notice it looks just like the Hindu Advocacy site because his web skills are limited. another part of his income comes from the porn industry. 

but the JDL's Weinstein has entree and influence with Kenney and Kent nonetheless apparently (mind you so does Avigdor Lieberman) .Here's Haaretz:

Jewish-British Anti-Muslim Event in Toronto Draws Protests, Arrests

http://www.haaretz.com/news/international/jewish-british-anti-muslims-ev...

"The local chapter of the Jewish Defense League, an extreme right organization founded by the late Rabbi Meir Kahane, broadcast a live speech by English Defense League founder Stephen Lennon, otherwise known as Tommy Robinson, drawing the ire of demonstrators..

In Israel, the Kach political party established by JDL founder Rabbi Meir Kahane was banned from running for the Knesset in 1992, due to its racist platform, but in recent years Kahane's followers have entered the Knesset under different names and some of Kahane's proposed policies are now unabashedly espoused by members of the current government."

and ours too..

EDL Woos Canada's Jewish Far Right  - the Jewish Chronicle

http://www.thejc.com/news/uk-news/43689/edl-woos-canadas-jewish-far-righ...

"Promoting the event, JDL Canada said 'the outrageous intimidation of Tommy Robinson is nothing more than a politicaly motivated crime on the part of the British establishment. They don't like the truth he speaks...The EDL needs international support to help it support the values of freedom that Britain was once famous for. Now is the time to step forward and stop Political Islam.

The British establishment is following the appeasement policies of Neville Chamberlain. We must revive the Winston Churchill policy of direct confrontation." - Meir Weinstein JDL Canada"

as if the policy wasn't everywhere in the ascendant already - GWOT anyone?

i had to look for these links before answering. yes, he's listed on the Race Relations site and that has led to speaking gigs and invitations to events, some of them fairly high-brow. many planners seeking diversity are delighted to have the presence of someone who claims to represent a large number of hindus in canada and whose website claims: 

Our Core Values 

We believe in unity, diversity, and tolerance. 

This is why our directors and members include Hindus  hailing from many different parts of India. We also include Hindus from the Caribbean, Malaysia, and elsewhere.

We even have non- Hindu directors from different communities, including the Jewish, Serbian, and Anglo-Saxon ethnicities. 

Inter-faith events and alliances are an important goal for us. Because our organization is a beacon of hope for all communities and groups who share our passion for merit, freedom, and democracy.

This is why mainstream Canadians see us as not just a group that represents Hindu interests, but also a key defender of the values that define Canada.

‘DEFENDING HINDU VALUES, STANDING UP FOR CANADA’

Banerjee was born in France although he often claims that is not the case. as you know, he's Hindu - http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/religion/life-hindu2.html (very ironic piece by him given what we know about him) - but he's against non-white immigration to Canada, a country that he doesn't like and would rather not live in:

"Slam the doors on immigraton" - http://www.indocanadaoutlook.com/0410_slam_the_doors_on_immigration.html - note the publisher's disclaimer at the bottom of this particular piece

"Why immigrant professionals turn to terrorism" - http://www.canadafreepress.com/2007/banerjee090507.htm

those are not the only places where these articles and others in the same vein have appeared since he seems get reprinted a lot. 

while he wants to make a living as a writer and speaker, he's not really interested in the ethics of journalism, per se. his preferred writing type is pundit/opinion sort of stuff, kinda like Glenn Beck, who is one of his heroes. as is Sarah Palin. while he has endorsed the federal conservative party, he does not view them as "right enough". in other words, they're too liberal for his tastes. he is a huge fan of the tea party and wants to see something like that here in Canada.

when it's suggested he take himself back to America where he claim's he's apparently worked previously (and is evasive on the reasons why he can't go back there), or perhaps to India, he says that's 'a typical redneck response' to his political views. 

I think I'm going to be sick.

And again,no attack ads by the Opposition..Not a word from MSM and a growing automatic complacency from the top of government to the bottom of society.

If it wasn't for the fact that I don't see milkmen on horse carried buggies delivering pints of glass bottled milk,I'd swear it was 1939.

"A sea-change is about to occur in the way Canadian Jewish community advocacy is conducted on both a regional and a national level. According to the Canadian Jewish Congress (CJC) the change is being led by the Canadian Council for Israel and Jewish Advocacy (CIJA) which is seeking to centralize control of most of the host of advocacy agencies it administers...

and created a 'single Jewish public affairs organization encompassing the national and regional level.' The new entity would also work ' in close cooperation with' and 'operate under' the UIA (United Israel Appeal) Federations Canada system. Since its founding in January 2004, CIJA 'oversees' and coordinates the advocacy work of Canadian Jewish Congress (CJC), Quebec-Israel Committee (QIC), National Jewish Campus Life (NJCL) and University Outreach Committee (UOC), effectively controlling all these groups both politically and financially.

Its declared objective is to 'ensure our voice is heard where it counts - in government, media and on campus.'..However, what they are really worried about is their faltering image on campuses and among the Canadian public at large, hence the 'sea-change' to 'centralize control' for 'Israeli advocacy in Canada...

We ask the people of Canada: Isn't it now the time to clean house in the main stream media, provincial and federal government offices of those whose main concern is self-interest and the interests of a foreign government, not the interest of the Canadian people?"

Canadian Zionists and their Stooges

http://www.pacificfreepress.com/news/1/7594-canadian-zionists-and-their-...

Lots of conjecture here and conspiracy mongering don't you think?

it would also be great if a legitimate mainstream Canadian Hindu organization denounced Banerjee and made it clear that he is NOT the spokesperson for their community as he keeps claiming. 

he likes to compare his Hindu Advocacy to the UK's Hindu Forum - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindu_Forum_of_Britain - http://www.hfb.org.uk/ - which by the way made this claim in 2007: "The Hindu Forum of Britain claims hundreds of mostly Sikh and Hindu girls have been intimidated by Muslim men who take them out on dates before terrorising them until they convert." - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-437871/Police-protect-girls-forced-convert-Islam.html - depending which page of their website you check, they are an umbrella organization of either 275+ or 400+ groups, and claim a budget of 34 million pounds per annum.

More EDL Backpeddling – Poor Response to Fraud Allegations

http://1millionunited.org/blogs/blog/2010/12/30/more-edl-backpeddling-po...

- The EDL has responded to the recent allegations of fraud in their ranks in their usual dismissive and quasi-arrogant style. In a bizarre attempt to conceal the many public declarations of fraudulent insurance claims being made by EDL members, the following statement was issued...

What the heck are "traditional English rights and freedoms"?

As a member of and somone fairly involved in the "Jewish community", I can tell you firsthand that neither Farber or Weinstein is taken seriously at all by more than a handful of Canadian Jews. They are completely irrelevant and dwarfed in influence by so many other people and do not deserve the attention they're getting either here or in the mainstream media.

It's rather sad, really, that both have become something of (self appointed) "representatives" of the community and that lazy journalists have them in their rolodex and call them whenever they need a comment on any story with a Jewish element to it.

I think most Jews look at them the way most African Americans look at someone like Al Sharpton, e.g. "Shut up, get a real job and stop embarrassing the rest of us."

The term "ZioNazi" is offensive and insensitive. Please don't use it.

"Zionazi" implies the whole trope that Zionists are like Nazis and Israel is like Nazi Germany. The term doesn't advance discourse, it's just inflammatory and, because of the history of Nazi oppression, alienates all Jews regardless of whether or not they are Zionist. It's insensitive.

So I did some research on Google regarding Mr. Farber. I know people like to make wild statements from time to time but like this man or hate him he is taken very seriously both inside the Jewish community and in the general coommunity.

He has met with virtually all political leaders here and in israel. he and his organization have been lauded by the Pm, Premiers of Ontario, Quebec and BC; he has written a large number of articles published in newspapers across canada and even in the USA.

I guess I understand why you would want to try to minimize this guys importance but you will have to do better than that.

We condemn intolerance everywhere, be it from the Canadian Arab Federation or the English Defence League [what about Kahanist terror groups?]

JDL-EDL : Zio-Nazis Out Now!

I'd like to see the footage of JDL and CHA members assaulting protesters.

The fact that police attacked the protesters and allowed these domestic neo-nazis to take liberties on protesters is appalling to say the least.

The fact that police would go so far as to confiscate or destroy video evidence is even more sickening.

I hope protesters atleast TRIED to retaliate when these goons got physical.

If these neo-fascists want to try to intimidate people with their fists,I can't wait for a similar event to happen here in Montreal...I'll happily oblige their challenge.

Ms. AZ may not be speaking afterall

the BEST comment on JK's speculation as to why not is from Marc63:

Here's an idea: Why not act like a journalist and ASK her why she's not appearing? I guess you missed that lesson in journalism class where its taught that FINDING OUT an answer is preferable to vacantly 'speculating' about 'possibilities'. Obviously, as we can see here, you remember how to procure a 'false dichotomy'. And you managed to slip in YET AGAIN the name of Jenny Peto. You should start charging her for all the publicity you've given her. 

Like the man said, I can win ANY argument, as long as I get to formulate the questions. A real journalist would at least ATTEMPT to avoid using 'apparently' and 'possibly' when an answer was achievable. It's called 'sticking to the facts'. But I'm willing to bet Jonathan is too cowardly to directly contact Zerbisias, lest he actually have to defend his relentless smearing of her, and engage in actual debate. This is a textbook example of yellow journalism.

JDL-EDL-Tea Party?: EDL Wants Taste of Tea Party's Islamophobia

http://liveraf.wordpress.com/2010/10/17/edl-wants-taste-of-tea-partys-is...

"Tentative links are developing between the reactionary Tea Party movement in the US and right-wing groups here. 'Going to the US is particularly interesting because the far-right in Britain has never gone that way before. It has always gone toward Europe. If it does forge strong links to the Tea Party, it would be important beause the Tea Party has significant resources...'

The movements are not yet formally aligned but the racist English Defence League (EDL), which insists that Islamic fundamentalism will soon engulf Britain, is busy building bridges with US figures who take a similar anti-Islamic position...The trip was organized by EDL activist Roberta Moore, who has formed a 'Jewish division' of the group."

The 'New' Rhetoric of Islamophobia

http://english.aljazeera.net/indepth/opinion/2011/01/201111074425968803....

"Islamophobes in and outside Congress are claiming that a mass 'radicalisation' of American Muslims is taking place. It is now clear that for Islamophobes (actually Islam haters) 'radical' Islam is just Islam. And 'radical' Muslims are just Muslims"

wake up and smell the coffee Canada - first they came for the Muslims, next they'll come for you. Smash the JDL-EDL-FPO Alliance!

Closing for length. And the Jan 11 is over.
