Liberal strategy a dangerous mix of religion and politics For Immediate Release Toronto, Canada Monday, December 19, 2005 - On December 2, the Liberal ca ndidate for Mississauga-Erindale, Omar Alghabra, made his victory speech after winning the nomination. In that speech, he reportedly exhorted hi s audience, "This is a victory for Islam! Alghabra's victory speech was delivered to an audience of several hundred in the Coptic Christian Centre of the Church of the Virgin Mary and St. David Ragheb, a member of the congregation, reported that following Algha bra's victory speech, Markham Councillor Khalid Osman took to the stage and declared, "We have the east, we have the west, and now we have Missi ssauga!" Ragheb also reported that Rogers Cable was present throughout and may have filmed the event. "A member of parliament is supposed to represent my concerns about taxes and roads in Mississauga, not promote an Islamic agenda," said Ragheb. Victor Fouad, a Coptic Christian, was disturbed to hear of such Islamist rhetoric from a Liberal who could easily become a Canadian parliamentari an. Mr Fouad assumed that Paul Martin would likewise disapprove of such incitement by a Liberal candidate, and so wrote to the Prime Minister d etailing what had happened. The event took pla ce over 2 weeks ago, and Paul Martin's silence since that time can only be interpreted as approval of Mr Alghabra's rhetoric. "I was surprised that Prime Minister Martin showed no interest in such a dangerous mixing of religion and politics," said Mr Fouad. "Since he ha s said nothing about it and this candidate is still representing the Lib eral Party of Canada, I have to assume that Alghabra has the endorsement of the Prime Minister." Victor Fouad has written a letter to the editors of several Canadian news papers, and that letter is reproduced below: Liberals bring Islamists one step closer to Parliament Having won the Liberal nomination for Mississauga-Erindale, Omar Alghabra shouted to the audience, "This is a victory for Islam! He went on to praise how "Islamic power is extending into Canadia n politics". His performance was witnessed by hundreds including Rogers Cable, and his theocratic rant was cheered by many in the audience. These are chilling words to a nation that has been identified as a terror ist target by Osama Bin Laden and has witnessed how "Islamic power is ex tending" itself into Western democracies through the slaughter of innoce nts in Madrid, London, New York, Beirut, Netanya, Bali and practically e very country in the world. The Islamist declaration of Liberal candidate Omar Alghabra could have come from an al Qaeda mouthpiece. And the Liberals dare to say that Stephen Harper is scary! I will take my chances with a free vote on same-sex marriage over a Liberal parliament arian preaching the same expansionist Islamic rhetoric that incites thos e who will kill and maim innocent Canadians. Clearly, the lives and values of Canadians are expendable to the Liberal party as long as they have a winning candidate.
