Being an Islamist means never having to say you're sorry

True to the Islamist playbook Omar Alghabra denied he made the statements attributed to him.

Verifying or debunking this will not change these facts:


Algharbra is a documented Islamist.

He was head of the Canadian Arab Association.

Mississagua in Canada , where he was nominated, is known as a Hamas hotbed.

It is not disputed that Markham Council Khalid Osman shouted these words in response to Alghabra's nomination :

"We have the east, we have the west, and now we have Mississauga!"

Enough was said , the question is is did the Canadians listen?
