Many silly people often tell us we need to be more like Canada or France or Germany. I say - eat it and die. In each of those countries, FREE SPEECH is NOT PROTECTED as it is in the United States. Do you want their system or free speech and if you prefer their system, why complain when certain speech is restricted in the US - we are just becoming more like those countries. For topics excluded from speech in those three countries - go find out yourself.

Styne argues, based on statistics only, that Europe will fall to Islam within a generation. A top selling and very popular magazine in Canada - Macleans, printed a review and an article about the book and its contents.
The consequence of such an argument and the review/printing of the review in a top selling Canadian magazine - the Islamic Congress filed an action against Styne and Macleans with the Canadian Human Rights Commission, arguing that his book and those ideas, published in Macleans would place Muslims in danger of violence or threats or discrimination.
The Canadian Human Rights Commission reached a decision:

Complaint against Maclean’s thrown out
The Canadian Human Rights Commission dismissed a hate-speech complaint against Maclean’s magazine on Friday in a decision the complainants blamed on “inappropriate political pressure.”
Brought by Mohamed Elmasry, national president of the Canadian Islamic Congress, the complaint was the centrepiece of a three-pronged offensive against what he sees as Islamophobia in the national news weekly, with columnists Mark Steyn and Barbara Amiel the main offenders.
The complainants were seeking an order forcing Maclean’s to print a rebuttal but, with this latest ruling, the entire enterprise is left hanging on a forthcoming decision of a British Columbia tribunal, which heard the case this month. An identical complaint, brought with the help of three Muslim law students, was rejected in Ontario on jurisdictional grounds.
Announcing the decision — the CHRC does not publicize dismissals of complaints — Maclean’s said in a statement it is “in keeping with our long-standing position that the article in question, The Future Belongs to Islam, an excerpt from Mark Steyn’s best-selling book America Alone, was a worthy piece of commentary on important geopolitical issues, entirely within the bounds of normal journalistic practice.”
The ruling means the CHRC does not believe there is evidence to support a complaint the Steyn article was “likely to expose” Muslims to hatred or contempt.
Faisal Joseph, lawyer for the CIC, said the dismissal was predictable, given the political climate and the campaign against the commissions themselves.
“We are not surprised at the decision, in light of the inappropriate political pressure that has been brought to bear on the commission and that has prompted the commission to set up an internal review of its procedures under (the hate speech section of the Human Rights Act),” he said.

It is NOT hate if I say: At the present rate of migration, immigration figures counted with births, Europe will be a majority Muslim population in X number of years. THERE IS NOTHING hateful about that statement. Likewise, if I wrote the same about the US ... given the X million in the US, in X number of generations the US would be 20% Muslim and given the changes in our laws, we could see a fundamental change ...
There is NO phobia. I am not afraid of a Muslim person, in no way, shape or form. I am stating a fact given the present conditions (although what I have presented above is so vague it could be tomorrow or 1000 years from now, Styne was more specific as to the time period. It is not hateful.)
I would argue, those who wish to shut him up, and others who say similar things, are purposefully undermining our ability to recognize what is happening when we cannot even write about what it is that is happening, it will have happened and would be a fait accompli before we realize it even began.
The end of civlization as we know it, and the world, in my opinion, would be the bigger loser.
