Now that Sharia law seems to be influencing what our "free" press can and can't say about Islam, this is something future Ezra Levants and Mark Steyns can look forward to:

Afghan journalist sentenced to death

An Afghan court on Tuesday sentenced a 23-year-old journalism student to death for distributing a paper he printed off the Internet that three judges said violated the tenets of Islam, an official said.

The three-judge panel sentenced Sayad Parwez Kambaksh to death for distributing a paper that humiliated Islam

Don't think it could happen in Canada?

What if I'd asked you twenty years ago whether you thought journalists in the country my grandfathers went to war for would ever have to sit in front of "human rights" interrogators? What would you have said then?

From the gang at TNOYF:

9. Global warming began when Ezra Levant willed the temperature in Canada up a few degrees–you know, just to take the chill out of the air.

8. 95% of all monsters surveyed reported that they are either "absolutely terrified" or "hysterically afraid" of Ezra Levant. Levant already ate the remaining 5%.

7. Ezra Levant once looked Helen Thomas directly in the face and lived to tell about it.

6. (tie) Ezra Levant can grow a thicker mustache than both Tom Selleck and Rosie O'Donnell.

6. (tie) Ezra Levant is actually registered twice as a lethal weapon: once for himself and once for his aura.

5. Ezra Levant eats live cougars sprinkled with Jack Bauer, washes it down with a sandpaper and Chuck Liddell milkshake, and then wipes himself with Chuck Norris.

4. Ezra Levant got the gang from Scooby Doo to stop meddling. Singlehandedly.

3. Ezra Levant forced the band "Better Than Ezra" to change their name to "Alberta Human Rights Commission": because no one is better than Ezra.

2. New studies show that Muslim suicide bombers aren't sacrificing themselves for Allah, they're just trying to escape the wrath of Ezra Levant.

1. If you ever find yourself being persecuted for your views by one of those politically correct government types, simply say "Ezra Levant" three times really fast. He will appear out of thin air and reduce the offender to a whimpering kitten in no time flat with his irresistible onslaught of crane-style verbal kung fu.

A bunch of Lebanese and other terrorist sympathizers have started a Facebook group called Ezra Levant is a piece of shit JEW.

Go have some fun and join it. You'll find me on the message board talking smack about Mohammed and his penchant for pedophilia.

It was the same question at the end of every class.

"Yes, but is there really a free press in Canada?" asked a young Russian student slouched in the front row of my journalism and public policy course at St. Petersburg State University.

"Can Canadian reporters really write what they see?" a young woman asked at the end of a lecture about political reporting.

Each time I said yes, there was a tiny groan and students rolled their eyes. Some things don't need translation. The concept of a free press seemed as far-fetched to these Russian journalism students as the tooth fairy, or Santa Claus.

When I was invited to teach at the journalism school of St. Petersburg State University as part of a program run by the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada, I knew that things were bad for journalists in Russia, but I did not appreciate quite how bad.

No comment on the Steyn or Levant cases. Perhaps that will be in a forthcoming article? Or perhaps they will ignore it. After all, the Toronto Star is on the same wavelength as the PC thought police, so it is unlikely they will ever have to feel the wrath of those who wish to silence our "free" press.

First they came for the conservatives...

Mr. Levant Goes to the Kangaroo Court.

His statement at the interrogation of the Alberta "Human Rights" commission is stirring and succinct. On more than one occasion, Ezra has stood up for my right to say what I want, often coming under fire himself. And though I'm two thousand miles away, I am proud to stand for Ezra.



Give 'em hell, man. Do not let them silence you. Your complainants, as Muslims, have the right to call for your death as a Jew. But when you point out their hatred, or even just shrug it off with ridicule, you are dragged before a kangaroo court for sensitivity hearings.

Canada's slippery slope has turned into a raging mudslide.
