CCD's executive director, Naresh Raghubeer, appeared on CBC's French network regarding Mohammed Elmasry's call for the killing of all Israelis over 18.
La Coalition estime que, si la preuve est suffisante, le Dr Elmasry doit faire face à des accusations criminelles en vertu de la Loi canadienne sur les crimes haineux.
The Coalition estimates that, if the proof is sufficient, Dr. Elmasry must face criminal charges under the terms of Canadian Law for his heinous crimes.
I think Naresh's point is that it is not enough to criticize the individual, we must also make sure tat the law is applied as it is written and than racists like Elmasry understand that there is a price to pay for advocating genocide.
In addition, we must understand if we are dealing with one racist demagogue, or if Elmasry, as president of the Canadian Islamic Congress, speaks for a broader constituency. If that is the case, then a much different response is called for.
History tells us where inaction or wishful thinking will lead us.
