"[Macleans editorial staff] pointed out that nowhere does it ["The Future Belongs to Islam"] suggest there is a plot for global domination involving the entire Muslim community (in fact, [author Mark Steyn] distinguishes between various factions in the Muslim world, moderate and radical)."
So the folks at Macleans divide the Muslim world into two whole factions? Do they really believe such classification corresponds to anything real, the way terms like Sunni or Shia or Sufi might?
What the editors are describing here is their original interview with the law students who brought a number of human rights complaints against them. Imagine you are one of these students. The editors tell you: "But the article isn't Islamophbic. It mentions both kinds of Muslim, good and bad."
Feeling a bit patronized yet?
No, Barbara Hall gave them the public spanking they deserved.

Keep talking, MacLeans. More spankings sure to come.
At the core of this analysis has been, all along, the assumption that the use of particular tactics in opposing what is perceived as injustice is a sign of moral corruption. Indeed, it may be, but that skirts the analysis and veers into racist propaganda, which is what MacLeans has been engaging in.
But what can you expect from the toxic minds of the Robber Baron's catamite and the Robber Bride herself?
Sad, MacLeans keeps hitting the dumps. I stopped reading it years ago.
The moderate-extremist dichotomy is a little simplistic yes but there is no doubt that religious adherents can be crudely categorized between those whose faith is a personal matter (moderates), those who seek theocracy (conservatives) those who desire inter/intra-religious war (extremists). The latter two types are a threat to any society, while the moderates are productive and valuable members of society.
MacLean hits the nail on the head in this article.
Of course "Macleans Still Doesn't Get It". There's nothing for them to "get".
The only clueless out-of-touch party in this case is Barbara Hall and the OHRC.
With every new move the OHRC makes, the sillier they look.
Of course "Macleans Still Doesn't Get It". There's nothing for them to "get".
Unlike the "nothing" they backpedaled from, eh Paul?
Careful. Might get you ass sued for saying muslims seek global domination. Someone might not care that you were merely quoting it.
