As Canadians celebrate their country’s birthday, Canadian Arab Federation VP says, “Fuck Canada Day”, by Tarek Fatah
As the rest of Canada celebrates the nation’s 142nd birthday today, a Vice President of the Canadian Arab Federation has labelled the country a “genocidal state” and the described its national day as “F**k Canada Day.”
Omar Shaban, who lives in Vancouver, BC made these comments on his Facebook page, declaring, “It’s finally Canada Day ... Couldn't be more ashamed to be Canadian.”
Yesterday, the Facebook status of the CAF vice president welcomed July 1, 2009 with the slogan, “Happy Genocide Day Canada.”
While one VP of the Canadian Arab Federation was throwing insults at Canada, another Vice President of CAF was on cable TV showering praise on the discredited leadership of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Appearing on a Muslim cable TV show, Ali Mallah endorsed the election of President Mahmoud Ahmedinejad as valid, and echoed the official line of the Tehran regime, claiming Western governments and Western Media were to blame for the current unrest in Iran.
The CAF VP claimed Western governments, “starting with the US and France” had been working long before election day in an attempt to unseat Ahmedinejad. This he said was evident from the way the West was “dehumanizing Ahmedinejad in the ugliest terms” long before the polls.
Mallah said, “They [Western media] were really preparing the stage to really distort the truth about the outcome of the result even before the election was announced and that shows their questionable interests.”
The CAF VP also accused Western internet service providers of aiding and helping the Iranian opposition. “The videos and emails coming from inside Tehran are being supported by [American] Internet Service Providers,” he claimed.
Mallah was joined in the TV discussion by two Pakistan-Canadian supporters of Iran’s Islamist dictatorship and a leftwing White convert to Islam. Surprisingly, the discussion on Iran excluded any Iranian-Canadian.
