If you have been following the Mark Steyn trials in Canada -- where Steyn has faced legal sanctions for writing about demographic trends in the West and relative birth rates of Muslim immigrants versus native and other immigrant groups, in Steyn's witty and biting style -- you may be interested to read that some political scientists are asking the American Political Science...

Lights Out on Liberty (House of Eratosthenes)

Mon, 25 Aug 2008 15:15:43 GMT

Excerpts from a lecture delivered by Mark Steyn at Hillsdale College, five months ago. The subject under discussion is the awful, guileful danger involved when, in the name of tolerance, intolerance itself is tolerated: After the London Tube bombings and the French riots a few years back, commentators lined up behind the idea that Western Muslims [...]

Canadian Academics Are Afraid to Speak Freely (YID With LID)

Mon, 25 Aug 2008 13:29:51 GMT

Seeing what happened to people like Ezra Levant and Mark Steyn, Political Science professors in Canada are afraid to speak their minds for fear of facing action from the same PC police that went after the journalists. With this in mind the American Political Science Association, whose members include both American and Canadian academics, is facing an internal protest because of plans...

Today's quote from Mark Steyn (Irons in the Fire)

Fri, 22 Aug 2008 20:11:00 GMT

When I made my observation about multiple Mohammeds in the news, Merle Ricklefs, a professor at the National University of Singapore and South-Eat Asian editor of the sixteen volume Encyclopedia of Islam, remarked sarcastically, "Deep thinking, indeed." Well, gosh, maybe it's not terribly sophisticated. But then again, when you're dealing with fellows who decapitate female aid workers in Iraq and engage...

Lacking Only Baffin Island Gulags (The Dignified Rant)

Thu, 21 Aug 2008 02:21:00 GMT

If you thought the Mark Steyn acquittal meant that the human rights commission outrage in Canada was reversed, halted, or even slowed down a bit, guess again : Canada’s taxpayer-supported “human rights” apparatchiks have decided that it is not yet time to directly challenge freedom of the press. They will bide their time, and return to the routine business of staging quasi-legal proceedings...

Some Antisemitism is fine in “human rights” Canada (Stop the ACLU)

Sun, 17 Aug 2008 18:32:24 GMT

We all know the wringer that Mark Steyn was recently put though in Canada for making a few true statement about Muslims. What do the same human rights honchos think about antisemitism? The answer to that seems to depend on whether it is Left antisemitism or Right antisemitism. In the [...]

Thu, 14 Aug 2008 17:00:00 GMT

Fox News recently saw fit to solicit the opinions of far-right extremist Paul Fromm when airing a segment on Mark Steyn's Human Rights Tribunal drama in Canada. In brief ... Canadian Human Rights Tribunals acted on complaints after excerpts from Steyn's fantasy novel book - America Alone: The End of the World as we Know It - appeared in Macleans magazine.

[Media Monitors, Greg Felton] The human rights case against Maclean’s magazine, discussed in my last column, has significance beyond the anti-Muslim defamation that writer Mark Steyn is charged with committing. Of much greater importance is the smear campaign being launched against the country’s human rights tribunals in the mainstream media and by unhinged bloggers. Steyn’s apologists...
