Canadian Intelligence Agencies on a rampage of arrest and torture

In just two years, racism increased by 38 per cent as reported by CTV.ca (Dominion Institute: 03/2005), against Muslims and Arabs in Canada. Rudyard Griffiths (Executive Director, Dominion Institute), calls it a “horrible shame”, and points out that “Canada needs to work on being a more tolerant multicultural nation.” The Government denies it ever professed or propagated ethnic hatred as a policy aim. For sure, the mainstream mass media follows the official stance on terrorism myth.

_Under the Anti-Terrorist legislation, Canadian Intelligence establishments seem to have a free hand to embark on concerted rampage to arrest and torture many Muslim and Arab families across the land. The data will support the meaning of officially sponsored Project Awaken in the years to come. But time, logic and history will question the framework of the “War on Terror” as a racist doctrine and unilateral plan of action aimed exclusively at terrorizing the Muslim people and nobody else. History shall judge the people and nations by their actions, not by their claims.

Ah! Those libby wussies...

'Liberal Canada complicity'? It's all a matter of public record, including the provisions of the controversial bill C-36 under which Khawaja was arrested.

Excerpt from the Algonquin Times Online:

Algonquin College graduate Mohammad Momin Khawaja was arrested earlier this month on charges of terrorism in connection to suspicious activity in the United Kingdom.

In a statement posted on its website, Canadian police said Momin Khawaja was arrested in connection with the arrests of eight men in Britain and the seizure of a half-ton of ammonium nitrate – the fertilizer compound used in the Bali and Oklahoma City bombings.

From Khawaja's piece(?):

Canadian Intelligence Agencies on a rampage of arrest and torture...

Rediculous hyperbole. This fellow has had the misfortune of being the first and only Canadian to be arrested on terror-related charges. And anyone with a shred of knowledge on Canadian law knows torture to be illegal, unconstitutional, counter to the Charter, etc.

edit: Link to Bill C-36

How exactly does one measure racism, anyway?

I always check the racism forecast before I head out the door. Down 18% this week so things look good!
Tends to go up with the summer heat though.
