Guess who?
I'll remove all references to the religion of the offending individual. Feel free to guess in the poll. Your only clue is that he is a doctor...

TORONTO - VisionTV said yesterday a producer would apologize on the air "at the earliest opportunity" for broadcasting lectures by a xxxxxxx fundamentalist who preaches global xxxxx and the "extermination" of Jews.
In addition to banning further broadcasts of xxxxx-based hardliner xxxx xxxx, the Canadian multi-faith channel announced it would set up a task force to review its standards and procedures in the wake of the controversy.
"We have taken clear steps to ensure that Mr. xxxx will not appear on VisionTV again," president and CEO Bill Roberts said in a statement. "VisionTV profoundly regrets any offence that resulted from Mr. xxxxx's appearances on our network."
The announcement came after the National Post reported that VisionTV had broadcast two lectures by Mr. xxxx, whose writings compare Jews to "parasites," describe the Holocaust as "divine punishment" and claim that Jews control the world through a secret banking conspiracy.
While VisionTV did not broadcast Mr. xxxxx's derogatory comments about Jews, or his theories of a worldwide Jewish conspiracy, Mr. Roberts said the decision about whether to allow him on Canadian airwaves should have perhaps taken those views into account.
"Clearly we live in a world where it would be insane to put [Holocaust denier] Ernst Zundel on the air to do the weather," Mr. Roberts said in an interview yesterday.
"And it's crazy to put an xxxx on the air to read the xxxx or do something else that's benign when off-air he is a violent, racist, bad person. So, the whole broadcasting system is not there yet, but I think we need to begin to think about how do we wrestle with that."
In a July 14 broadcast on VisionTV, Mr. Ahmad said xxxxx had to either fight xxxx or finance it. Following complaints, VisionTV said it regretted airing the show, but then broadcast another of Mr. xxxx 's lectures on July 21. Both hour-long lectures were featured on a show called xxxxxx.
A medical doctor by training, Mr. xxxx is the leader of xxxxx, which wants to turn xxxxx into a fundamentalist xxxx state and a launching pad for the global domination of xxxxx. |

He shouldn`t be on the air for sure, but that has nothing to do with multiculturalism. |

Something to consider is that, according to the article and contrary to what was written in the headline of this thread, the guy never actually preached hate on VisionTV.

I'm pretty sure that if you went throught the off-screen writings of televangelists who have been carried on the Vision network, you'd find some pretty wacked-out stuff. Pat Robertson has even endorsed Jewish conspiracy theories, similar to the ones propagated by the Muslim preacher. So I'm not sure how far Vision would want to take this "zero tolerance" policy. |

That isn't true. On air he said it was every muslims responsibility to either fight jihad or pay for it. That garbage doesn't belong in Canada at all, let alone government-subsidized TV.
Quote:
| Quote: |
"Jihad in the way of Allah, for the cause of Allah, can be pursued either with your financial resources or your bodily strength when you go to fight the enemy in the battlefield," urged Ahmad in the broadcast. "So jihad, the highest form, is fighting in the cause of Allah." |

I think that this guy has hit the nail on the head:
| Quote: |
Vision TV went so far as to write a letter of apology in the National Post expressing his regrets over the incident and assuring his viewers that the likes of Ahmad will never again sully Canadian Airwaves through Vision TV.
Personally, I think that�s ill-advised, as it is important for Canadians to realize the implacable hatred that fundamentalist Muslims have for the West in general and Jews in particular. Canadians have become too comfortable with the conceit that we are universally loved and that no one would dare harm us or any of our citizens. Wrong, and listening to individuals such as Israr Ahmad serves to confirm that error.
Since Canada has not directly been touched by the current worldwide Jihad it is easy for Canadians to be lulled into a false sense of security. Having people like Ahmad on Canadian television allows all Canadians to see them for what they really are: base bigots who do not have an iota of decency and who are against everything for which our liberal democracy stands.
Most Canadians still seem to view radical fundamentalist Muslims as either enemies of the U.S. who have no beef with Canada, or worse, as an integral part of the multicultural mosaic that contributes to Canada�s uniqueness.
Allowing people like Ahmad, the Khadrs and other radical Islamists opportunities to publicly preach their hatred will quickly disabuse most Canadians of the notion that these individuals have anything meaningful to contribute. |

That you're an obsessive, screaming head case that believes there's a far reaching plot to destroy western civilization?
Pity, because I've accepted that truth a while ago.

BJWD: Is your rabid Zionist AshkeNAZI Khazar-Jew self so depraved that you are continually [somewhat desperately] trying to inflame people against Muslims?
Stay in your little ESL school, chump. If you have such a problem, go to ISRAEL and fight Hizbullah (since you have a picture mocking Nasrallah as your avatar)... Oh, wait... That's right, the Israeli Khazar-Jews got their asses handed to them last year, and were sent back scurrying across the border with their tails between their legs by... a TINY militia.
Stop the pathetic bashing of other religions... you should learn that most people of the world don't particularly care for your kind anyway. |

Rabid zionist? Hey, cool stuff. FYI, I don't give two shits about Israel.
I'm afraid that your going to have to get good and used to people like me. The muslims are blowing apart (literally) all nonsense about "tolerance" for religions. Maybe, as I assume you are a nutjob Christian, this bothers you. It should. In order for people like me to maintain credibility, we have be equally reject all "religion".
But let us remember, you have an imaginary friend who tells you what to do. For an adult, that is beyond pathetic. It is laughably pathetic. Grow up.
And I don't live in Korea or work in esl. |
