In the former riding of radically anti-American Liberal MP Carolyn Parish, it would seem – if the statements of a number of individuals who were at the Liberal nomination meeting of December 2nd can be relied upon – that the Liberal Party has nominated an out-and-out Islamist for Parliament. His name is Omar Alghabra.

According to reports – though there are conflicting accounts – after winning the nomination, Alghabra declared, “This is a victory for Islam! Islam won! Islam Won! ... Islamic power is extending into Canadian politics.” When this happened is in question. For whatever it’s worth, Mr. Alghabra has denied making the statement in question.

Of course, this individual’s support for Islamism is not a matter of a single statement, as some would seem to indicate. Mr. Alghabra is, as it would happen, the former President of the Canadian Arab Federation – a radical group which has consistently advocated the side of the enemies of Western Civilization in the Global War on Terrorism.

For example, whatever he may or may not have said at his nomination meeting, there can be no doubt that Mr. Alghabra praised the life of Yassir Arafat – one of the worst terrorists of our day – upon his death.

Nor does whether or not he made the statements in question change the reality that the organization that this… individual… headed opposed not only the listing of Hezbollah as a terrorist organization – but also the listing of Hamas and Islamic Jihad.

Hilariously (and alarmingly) the organization was – at least as late as a week after 9-11, denouncing those who claimed that Arabs or Moslems were responsible for the attacks.
