The hate law is now used to criminalize opponents in a Federal Election. And of course, Popescu is a Christian, the usual target of so-called anti-"hate" laws."An unrepentant David Popescu was convicted Friday of promoting hatred for telling a group of high school students in Greater Sudbury that homosexuals should be executed. Popescu, 61, made the comment during federal election campaign in the Sudbury riding, where he ran as an independent candidate, then repeated them in an interview broadcast over a Toronto radio station. He was given a suspended sentence and placed on probation for 18 months. During a one-day trial in Sudbury court, Popescu argued he was only repeating what was in the bible when he made the comments. ... Popescu told the court he was not trying to promote hatred during the debate. 'I was not targeting homosexuals, but was just trying to give an honest answer freely'to a question asked of him during a public debate and later in the radio interview, said Popescu, who represented himself at the hearing. 'The law of the land is trying to be used to contradict God's clear law.' (Sudbury Star, August 8, 2009)
Muslims are free to promote hatred with carte blanche. Christians are the targets. Plain and simple. "A Toronto man who had posted messages on the Internet supporting terrorist attacks in Canada and the deportation of Jews will not face criminal charges, police said yesterday. The Ontario Provincial Police hate crimes and extremism unit had been investigating Salman Hossain -- whose writings included a call to kill Western soldiers "so that they think twice before entering foreign countries on behalf of their Jew masters" -- for willfully promoting hatred toward the Jewish community, but the case was recently closed.Christians get the entire might of the state against them." (National Post, June 30, 2009) Whew, lucky his name was Hossain and not Brad Love. The inveterate Toronto writer of non-violent letters to MPs about uncontrolled Third World immigration and Jamaican crime and hypocritical Zionists, was tossed in jail for 18 months in 2003.Muslims get a free pass.
In the "anti-hate" business: Some are more equal than others.
