CTV misleading Canadian on Iranian democracy movment

Homa Arjamand interview with CTV news on 16 Azar trying to mislead the viewers ..
http://watch.ctv.ca/news/clip243696#clip243696
Arajomand whose group , is known for lack of tolerance for other thoughts while their group is isolated and rejected among the the iranian community in Ontario , .

to me it looks that Arjomand and his band's activities has been is in the alignment with Neo cons and Israel i lobbist. that's why she is on the TV while there are other vocal anti regime voices which are denied by main stream since they are not cooperation Isalmopobia as Homa does.
For those who are not familiar to CTV , good to know that in last 20 years they air the anti Iranian Movie, Not Without My Daughter by Betty Mahmoody tow times on "13 Aban" to humiliate the community .

CTV has to bring other vocal voices along side of Homa in order not to be bias . majority of Iranian are against the theocractic regime but still majority of Iranian are muslim and do belive in it.
Do not help the regime to stay on by misleading and collaborating foreingers .

Swiss voters 'back ban on building of minarets'


Majority of Swiss people, said ya tp the trap by right wing politician and political Christians on banning Minarets of Mosques,

then how do you expect the Muslim countries not to follow the suit by holding a referendum for the worship for their non Muslim citizens .

Saeed
Swiss voters appear to have defied their Government and churches today and approved a national ban on the construction of minarets.

Early results showed that 57 per cent of voters had backed the proposal, ensuring international embarrassment for Switzerland and a possible backlash in the Muslim world. A majority of the 27 cantons supported the move, according to partial results.

"The initiative would appear to have been accepted, there is a positive trend. It is a huge surprise," said French-language Swiss television said after polls closed at midday.

The referendum was launched by the nationalist Swiss People's Party (SVP), the largest group in Parliament, after residents opposed the construction of a minaret in a town north of Berne, the capital.

Swiss to vote on proposed minaret ban
The approval is the latest act by European voters in support of anti-immigrant parties, following electoral successes over the last decade by far-right parties in Austria, the Netherlands and France.

The Swiss Government, the business world and most churches had urged the country to reject a proposal that they said breached the Swiss constitution and its guarantees of freedom of religion. The proposal, to ban the construction of minarets in the Swiss constitution, would only "serve the interests of extremist circles", the Government said.

The 'yes' vote, if confirmed, shows the strength of feeling against a Muslim population which has grown over the past 20 years to 350,000 or four per cent of the population. The majority are not regular practitioners of their faith. Most are from Turkey and the Balkans.

Only four modest-sized minarets exist in Switzerland, where there are 150 prayer houses. None are used to call the faithful to prayer.

The SVP used the issue openly as an assault on what it depicts as the inroads of political Islam in Switzerland.

"We just want to stop further Islamisation in Switzerland," Walter Wobmann, head of a committee of initiative backers, said today

PM lauds press freedom, won't take questions from reporters

Prime Minister Stephen Harper urged journalists to "shine light into dark corners" of government affairs during a speech late Saturday, but wouldn't take questions from reporters covering the event.

Harper, who is known for his sometimes prickly relationship with parliamentary reporters, made the comments during an ethnic media awards dinner in Markham.

Freedom for Canadians goes hand-in-hand with journalistic freedom, he told the dinner guests gathered at Seneca College in Markham, home to thriving Asian communities.

Members of the ethnic press and their readers understand what it's like in countries where "truth is only what the state says it is" and journalists are co-opted as government mouthpieces or threatened with their lives, Harper said.

Things couldn't be more different here in Canada, he added.

"Our government does not tell journalists what to say, or attempt to intimidate those with whom it disagrees," he said.

"Instead we believe strongly that Canadians' freedom is enhanced when journalists are free to pursue the truth, to shine light into dark corners, and to assist the process of holding governments accountable."

But shortly after making the speech and handing out awards, Harper was whisked through the black curtains behind the stage without taking questions from reporters.

The prime minister's staff said before the event, which was open to the media, that Harper would not be taking questions from reporters covering the event, which was organized by the National Ethnic Press and Media Council of Canada.

He has yet to comment on explosive allegations that top government officials knew about the torture of Afghans taken prisoner by Canadian soldiers and handed off to Afghan forces.

Since Harper came to power, the schedule for cabinet meetings became shrouded in mystery, requests for routine information can take days or sometimes ignored altogether and delays in processing freedom-of-information requests has grown markedly.

His office also imposed new rules that allow Harper's staff to choose which reporter is allowed to ask him a question – a practice more commonly used in Washington by U.S. presidents.

The federal Conservatives have long courted ethnic voters through the newspapers and other media that serve them, a tactic used by the Liberal party for decades.

In his speech, Harper noted that the Tory caucus includes members of Canada's diverse communities, such `as International Cooperation Minister Bev Oda.

Canada's Conservative parties have always "sought to open doors" for those seeking to represent Canada's ethnic communities, he said.

Douglas Jung, the first Chinese Canadian elected to Parliament, was a Conservative, as was Lincoln Alexander, the first black cabinet minister.

"I had to mention that," Harper said with a grin.

Canada support from Israel on Goldstone report is not acceptable

UN affirms Goldstone report
By Thalif Deen

A 575-page blistering report by Justice Richard Goldstone detailing war crimes in Gaza last December is refusing to die despite an aggressive Israeli smear campaign to kill it.

The report, which was favorably voted by the 47-member Human Rights Council in Geneva last month, received overwhelming support Thursday in the 192-member General Assembly.

The vote was 114 in favor and 18 against, with 44 abstentions.

The 18 countries that voted against the resolution included the United States, Australia, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy and Israel.

Ambassador Riyad Mansour, Permanent Observer of Palestine to the United Nations, singled out Ireland, one of the few Western nations to vote for the resolution, for “supporting” it.

He also noted that a “sizeable number of European nations” abstained on the resolution.

Among the abstentions were Britain, France, Norway, Sweden, Spain, Luxembourg, New Zealand, Denmark and Greece.

“The General Assembly sent a powerful message,” he told reporters, adding that if Israelis do not comply, “We will go after them.”

Siddiqui: Same rights standards must apply to all nations

Q: Those who support Israel feel strongly, for obvious reasons. Critics are called anti-Semites or self-hating Jews, etc.
A: The idea that, by describing what Israel did in Gaza, one is an anti-Semite is ridiculous. It is an insult. It cheapens the concept of anti-Semitism. (Benjamin) Netanyahu would like to discuss anything other than what Israel did in Gaza. He'd do anything to change the subject. That's a tacit admission of indefensible conduct. If there were a defence, they would discuss the facts. But they are running away from the facts and hiding behind charges of anti-Semitism.

Q: Traveling the world, one hears about U.S. double standards.

A: This monster has emerged from a number of African governments who are saying: Why is the international community regularly prosecuting African offenders but ignoring the offenders among their allies, such as Israel, Sri Lanka, Russia in Chechnya, the U.S. in Afghanistan?

One emphasis I'd place is for broader ratification of the International Criminal Court Treaty. One reason why the U.S., Israel, Russia or Sri Lanka aren't being investigated by the ICC is that they haven't signed the treaty (100 states have)

Former UK ambassador: CIA sent people to be ‘raped with broken bottles’


Former UK ambassador: CIA sent people to be ‘raped with broken bottles

The CIA relied on intelligence based on torture in prisons in Uzbekistan, a place where widespread torture practices include raping suspects with broken bottles and boiling them alive, says a former British ambassador to the central Asian country.

Craig Murray, the rector of the University of Dundee in Scotland and until 2004 the UK's ambassador to Uzbekistan, said the CIA not only relied on confessions gleaned through extreme torture, it sent terror war suspects to Uzbekistan as part of its extraordinary rendition program.

"I'm talking of people being raped with broken bottles," he said at a lecture late last month that was re-broadcast by the Real News Network. "I'm talking of people having their children tortured in front of them until they sign a confession. I'm talking of people being boiled alive. And the intelligence from these torture sessions was being received by the CIA, and was being passed on."

Human rights groups have long been raising the alarm about the legal system

Terror and violent is wrong

the Major who killed his fellow soldjers in US military camp has made a bg mistake by shooting them.

Major Nidal Malik Hasan killed 12 people and injured 31 when he opened fire at Fort Hood army base, but was shot several times by a female officer, and is now in custody, in a stable condition.

major NIdal is aginst the war in Iraq which was not new to US military authorityies how ever, as a mulsim had no legitimacy to shoot others , cicvilan or militray personnel since , he could try other non violence options.

the spree violence is not new to US but is new to a base inside US.
such incident happened before in Kuwait.
No body can target other Muslim for the Makor action nor , the fundumentalist Muslim can parise him for killing without justificaion.
