Michael Coren writes in today’s National Post about the visit of Gisele Orebi to this weeks symposium entitled “On The Front Line of Immigration, Terrorism and Ethno-Politics.”
“There are courageous Muslims who do resist but it is difficult and dangerous. There is an underground of Sharia law across Europe, with terrible treatment of women. This is combined with the threat of violence aimed at anybody who speaks out against what is going on. Censorship through fear. We even see this to a mild degree in Canada, an example being the attempt to stop me entering the country.”
The cause of Palestine, she emphasizes, is at its heart about the triumph of Islam. “Most of Palestine is in Jordan but we do not hear cries for Jordan to return land. This isn’t about the rights of the Palestinians but about the refusal to accept a non-Muslim state in the region. Palestine has become the fashion of the West, without them understanding the deeper issues of the conflict.”
Paradox wrapped around irony packaging hypocrisy. Untied by a brave and wise woman who wants only peace and justice but who is still being persecuted for what she is and what she says. A daughter of the Nile, a teacher for the world.
