Scorned Islamofascist Ducks Back Into Shadows

Islamofascist Imam Syed Soharwardy, above, bears a striking resemblance to a warthog, below, proving that sometimes a person's inner self actually manifests superficially.
(With apologies to the warthog)

Freedom fighter Ezra Levant tells us the latest about his Islamofascist oppressor, the radical, bigoted Imam Syed Soharwardy.
What’s really going on here is that Soharwardy is simply upset at the hostile P.R. he’s received since filing his complaint. All over the world – from CNN to the National Post to a thousand websites, people are calling Soharwardy as they see him: a censor, intolerant of others, using a secular government agency and public money to enforce an Islamic fatwa. I may be getting pummelled in human rights “court”, but Soharwardy is getting pummelled in the court of public opinion.
His column in the Herald was an exercise in damage control, trying to recast himself as a reasonable man who accepts our freedoms. But the very night his column was published, he told CBC’s The National why he really dropped the complaint against me: not because he has some epiphany about freedom, but because “people were looking at Ezra Levant as a martyr of freedom of his speech ... taking this into a different direction that I did not want.” Soharwardy started this human rights circus, but he never thought he’d come across as the clown.
Soharwardy might want to forget about all this, but I don’t. I’ve instructed my lawyers to sue him for the tort of “abuse of process”.
When the complainant in a two-year censorship exercise admits the whole thing was just an ill-considered lark, such a suit is not just about recouping my losses. It’s about holding a little tyrant, and the government agency he hijacked, to account, and having grown-ups -- that is, real judges in real courts -- tell them that what they’ve been doing is morally and legally wrong.
The Islamofascist is going to pay.
Sic semper tyrannis!
