Muslim groups know what they’re doing when they pursue one of these cases, Rachel Ehrenfield, Ezra Levant, Mark Steyn.
They’re stirring up the pot, drawing attention to themselves, getting out there and in your face. Although obviously not a court of law, the “plaintiff” position in a case before a CHRC costs nothing, whereas the “defendant” pays egregiously through the nose to “defend” himself.
And then, haha, after Levant’s defense costs upwards of $100,000 out of pocket, the case is dropped.
Mission (intimidation) Accomplished.
Even the people at CAIR (I have to imagine) aren’t so much genuinely offended per se at all this dumb stuff they claim is insulting to Islam, etc. as they are interested in drawing attention to themselves and making incursions in the name of “soft” jihad.
Recently, the head of CAIR was interviewed on (American) TV and was asked whether he would condemn Hamas and Hezbollah. He replied that he would condemn “terrorism”, but when pressed on H&H, he repeated his answer and said the questioner could take it as he would.
A soundbyte worth a thousand words.
