Good point. We are digressing. You were about to enlighten us with your view on the morality or immorality of Weinstien ending up as collateral damage in an operation designed to ferret out his known terrorist associates?

All I understand is that you have spent the afternoon sitting in your office defending the JDL of Baruch Goldstein. That is clear enough.
Forget it...hard to discuss with someone who has a one-track mind
Of course it matters, you said:
The American JDL has been described as a terrorist organization by an agency of the US government. Your defence of Weinstein is predicated on the assumption that Weinstein's "JDL Canada" has nothing to do with the US outfit and that he is "not today involved with the American JDL" so of course it matters whether or not the American JDL and the Canadian JDL are in fact the same organization.
So, I ask you again:
Ohara, can you say with a straight face that you believe the "Canadian JDL" has never had anything to do with the "American JDL"?

It's not accurate to call CAF a "fringe group". A recent leader of CAF now sits as a Liberal MP. The current head ran for the NDP in the last provincial election. CAF is basically the Arab equivalent of the CJC.
This is just flat wrong. Any reasonable reading of the thread would convict you of the behaviour that you are accused of.
You weren't there so how do you know?

Their was a racist act at Ryerson University. How soon we all can forget about that one little fact.
As far as I know through the media no one has been charged with committing the act.
Yet we have had an entire thread about 3 paragraphs in a release. 3 paragraphs that some are in agreement should never have been put in the release.
The lawsuit by the JDL would never have happened if the SPHR and CAF had stopped and used its brains to think.
Both groups are smarter than this episode lets on.
While debating JDL seems to be fun. It is sad that the real issue can be avoided.
That issue is the issue of racism on campuses across the GTA.
In the last couple of weeks we have had anti-semetic vandalism at York and racist based arson at Ryerson.
Thanks for making this point.
