AN OPEN LETTER
Dear Mr Norlock
I write this letter with deep concern for the safety of my
fellow Canadians.
The Prosecutor-General of Egypt
announced that warrants were issued, charging two Canadians, Coptic Christians,
with blasphemy crimes for their alleged involvement in the making of a
satirical video. By naming and outing these two Canadians, the
Prosecutor-General of Egypt
has ostensibly targeted these two men for the benefit of murderous assailants.
The two men advised CBC that they are in
fear of their lives and the lives of their families.
If the Prosecutor-General of Egypt
fails to provide any evidence supporting the charges, then it would appear that
the two men are nothing more than political scapegoats for the Muslim
Brotherhood regime to play into the hands and demands of the militant
Islamists. It is well known to Canadian authorities that Coptic Christians
endure lethal discrimination in Egypt.
January 7, 2011,
Foreign
Affairs declared that "Canada
condemns the attack on Coptic Christians in Nag Hammadi. We extend our deepest
sympathies to the families and friends of those killed and wish a speedy
recovery to the injured. That the victims were innocent civilians congregating
for a religious celebration makes this attack especially tragic.”
Recently a young Coptic Christian dissident blogger in Egypt,
Alber
Saber, was arrested on charges of blasphemy relating to the satirical
video, Innocence of Muslims. He has been beaten, tortured and imprisoned. He
will be standing
trial this coming October 3.
(1) I request that Canadian authorities consider laying
slander charges against the Prosecutor-General of Egypt.
Ghulam
Ahmad Bilour, a cabinet minister for railways in the Pakistan
govt, explicitly offered $100,00 to anyone who kills those involved in the
making of the satirical video. This is “head money.” It is counselling murder.
It is incitement to murder the two Canadians who have been unjustly listed by
the Muslim Brotherhood regime of Egypt.
(2) I request that Canadian authorities should consider
laying charges against that Pakistani cabinet minister for counselling murder
against two innocent Canadians. Canada
should request his extradition, or demand that he brought to trial in Pakistan
on charges of counselling murder. He still remains a cabinet minister.
Furthermore, Mufti Mohammad Yousuf
Kasuri, chief of Jamiat Ahle Hadith Party for Sindh
Province, added his own reward of
approximately $105,000 "for the one who will hand exemplary punishment to
the blasphemer."
(3) I request that Canadian authorities should consider his
extradition or demand he brought to trial on charges of counselling murder.
Producing and distributing a lowbrow satirical video is free
speech, as protected by our Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and Article 19 of
the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Counselling murder is NOT free
speech; it is a crime.
Free speech is under attack by the forces of theological
tyranny. It is time that all Western nations refuse to apologize for our constitutionally
protected free speech.
(4) Lastly, I request that the law of blasphemous libel be
removed from Canada’s
criminal code. It is hypocritical and weakens Canada’s
position vis a vis blasphemy and free speech when we oppose the second stage
effort by the 56-nation OIC to impose shariah planet-wide. In this contest
there will be only one winner: FREE SPEECH,
and more of it.
