It’s odd: Mohamed Elmasry, an
apologist for Islamo-fascism, using the same tools as an “anti-racist”
leftist like Richard Warman. At first glance, they may seem like
opposites, but they’re actually identical: Both are illiberal
censors who have found a quirk in our legal system, and are using it
to undermine our Western traditions of freedom.

Media: Lawyer
asks area libraries to yank book from shelves
| The
B.C. Civil Liberties Association had called on the Attorney
General to reform defamation law in B.C. to protect libraries
because of situations such as the legal wranglings between
Richard Warman and David Icke, author of Children of the Matrix.
Mr. Warman had sued Mr. Icke alleging that the book is
defamatory. Before going to trial, Mr. Warman had written
library officials in Kamloops, Victoria and Vancouver notifying
them of his lawsuit and requesting the libraries pull the book
from their shelves. Upon consulting legal advice, the library
boards all removed The Children of the Matrix from circulation. |

The Green Party of Canada has accused Amazon.com and Barnesandnoble.com of violating Canadian criminal and customs laws by selling racist and anti-Semitic books such as "The Turner Diaries" and "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion" in the country.
"It's important that they take responsibility for what they are distributing out into the public," Green Party spokesman Richard Warman said. "They have to respect the laws of other countries." |
