Mark Steyn's Canadian Islamic Problem
http://www.deanesmay.com/posts/1197055819.shtml


   After Mark Steyn published an excerpt of his book, American Alone, in
   Macleans Magazine Canada, the Canadian Islamic Congress called it
   "flagrantly Islamophobic" and asked for "equal space" for rebuttal.
   When denied it, they took the magazine before the Human Rights
   Commission.

   I write about all this at Guardian.[1] The article is entitled, Their
   Own Worse Enemy: "When Muslim groups try to silence the press, they
   live up to the most negative prejudices about Islam."

   I've also [2]offered the Canadian Islamic Congress that if they drop
   their complaint I will help them publish a rebuttal at Guardian.
