Conservative who published Prophet cartoons faces rights commission

CALGARY - Outspoken conservative commentator Ezra Levant will be before the Alberta Human Rights Commission Friday defending his former magazine's 2006 publication of a series of Danish cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad.
Members of Calgary's Muslim community were outraged when Levant's now-defunct publication, the Western Standard, published the cartoons in February 2006, shortly after their initial appearance in a Danish newspaper led to rioting and protests around the world.
Syed Soharwardy, president of the Islamic Supreme Council of Canada, later filed a complaint against the Western Standard to the Alberta Human Rights Commission.
Levant, the magazine's former publisher, will be on the hot seat today in Calgary during a commission investigation - a process he calls an "interrogation" - in which he'll be questioned extensively about the publication of the cartoons.
The human rights commission could then order a full hearing into the matter if it deems it necessary, he said.
"I object to the whole proceeding. It doesn't have any moral authority," Levant said Thursday in an interview.
"Free speech is a human right."
Soharwardy, who isn't expected at the proceeding, couldn't be reached for comment Thursday

'This is How Democracy Works in Belgium'

This is typical of the dhimmi left. they just can't stand anyone trying to preserve their traditional way of life. The dhimmi are of course terrified that the big bad Muslims will slit their throats so they prefer to live as slaves rather than stand up to the barbarism of Islam.
