Imam tells it like it is

Toronto Imam warns Public Safety Minister Anne McLellan to stop messing with the Moslem community, or face the consequences.

A controversial Toronto imam warned Public Safety Minister Anne McLellan at a closed-door meeting to stop "terrorizing" Canadian Muslims.

"If you try to cross the line I can't guarantee what is going to happen. Our young people, we can't control," Aly Hindy, the head of Scarborough's Salaheddin Islamic Centre, recalls telling the minister at the May meeting she held in Toronto with dozens of Muslim leaders.

First off, in order to be a *controversial* Imam, you have to say something that is disputatious. There is nothing *controversial* about what the Imam said, he speaks for his community. It might be controversial to the reporter, but he is only projecting his fears onto us. Remember, to the media, terrorists are *militants*, and Imams who say something that a reporter doesn't want to hear or believe are *controversial*. You see, if the Imam had said that everything is roses and sunshine, he wouldn't have been a *liar*, he would have been a *truth speaker*. Close your eyes and hope everything will go away.

No word on what *cross the line means*. Saying that the Moslem community can't control their own children is a thinly veiled threat, any chump with a working brain cell can see it. Replace the word Imam with *White Supremist leader* and think for a minute if the Globe and Mail reporter would have called this a threat.

Mr. Hindy, who has long complained that CSIS is spying on him, his family and his mosque, told Ms. McLellan that a young Muslim woman complained to him she was roughed up by Canadian spies while her husband was away at prayers. This allegation could spur reprisals because "our women are the most valuable thing to us" and "for a Muslim, honour is more important than his life," Mr. Hindy said in a recent interview.

Sure, a Moslem woman was roughed up but the Imam didn't say anything until now. Perhaps this happened in his mind, but make no mistake about it, it never happened in real life. This is called a red herring, it never happened, but to the Moslem community it is now Gospel, to be used later when necessary.

And it's good to see the Imam respecting the woman of his community. As he said, woman are the most valuable thing to them. The Moslem woman of Scarborough must be proud, for today you are *valuable things*. With a bit of luck, maybe tomorrow you might be referred to as *valuable slabs of consumable flesh*. Ah, to dream, equality is just around the corner.

"The police came to me and said, 'This is a kind of threat,' and I said yes," he said. "But it's for the good of this country.

"And they said, 'Do you know some of the names of those people you expect to cause some problems?' And I said, 'You just open the telephone directory.' "

Simply put, the Imam is flexing his muscles, he's pumping up his chest and giving it to *the man*. If this spectacle was a real man he'd say what's on his mind and lay off the innuendo and thinly veiled threats. He should just say outright, "if you mess with us we'll kill you", but he lacks the balls to say it, so he skirts and dances around the issue with words to scare people.

However, you best be believing the Imam, for he speaks the truth, in his own cowardly way, of course.
