Darcy notes: "The Canadian Islamic Congress as we all know has filed a Human Rights complaint against Macleans magazine for publishing an excerpt from Mark Steyn's book America Alone."
Stanley Kurtz takes this very seriously. After reviewing the situation (he includes several valuable links), Kurtz concludes:
Connect the dots and you will see that the attack on Mark Steyn in Canada is part and parcel of a world-wide assault on free speech that has already reached well into America. This is our battle. It is essential that there be widespread public condemnation of the attack on Mark Steyn. Not only does this "human rights" complaint have to fail, it has to fail miserably and with embarrassment. Otherwise, whatever the formal result, the chilling effect will be one more victory for the forces trying to destroy our rights.
Me: I recommend reading not only Kurtz's full comments but also the excerpt Macleans published from Mark Steyn's book.
