Delusions Of Multiculturalism? Fahim Kayani Faces Deportation

Posted on Wednesday, March 17 at 13:31 by sthompson
As I write this, early Wednesday morning, Fahim awaits a federal court judge's decision that will be made anytime between now and next Monday, March 22. The judge's decision will determine whether Fahim will be deported to Pakistan, where he faces the cruel possibility of detention and torture at the hands of a government with a notorious record for human rights abuses and a welcome partner in the Bush Administration’s “war on terror.”

    Just because someone's not white and they get arrested or deported doesn't mean it's racially motivated.

    However, I read about halfway through the article and I'm just disgusted. Our government is using scare tactics to mold the shape of Canadian public opinion. Divide and conquer. How better to divide than by inciting racial fear into the masses?

    Y'know... another word for "scare tactics" and "inciting fear" in order to achieve political goals is "TERRORISM". Think about it.
