A reader here called my attention to the following good news/bad news:

Good News: El-Farouk Khaki is receiving a Pride Award from Toronto Pride for his work in organizing and supporting the religious lives GLBTQ Muslims and their allies. El-Farouk Khaki is a lawyer working on human rights and refugee cases.

Bad News: Irshad Manji internationally known minion of Satan is also receiving an award….for human rights. She is from Toronto. Okay. She is a lesbian. Okay. But the ignorant media hungry destructive Pipes acolyte is hardly someone to be praised for her work on human rights. Perhaps these two nominations signal a split in the political views of the Toronto gay community? Perhaps it indicates their own racism towards Muslims in that they can recognize their own racist sentiments in Irshad's talk? Urgh.

I received this public statement from my friend El-Farouk Khaki. He asked for it to be distributed widely. El-Farouk and the signatories below resigned from the the Muslim Canadian Congress. The MCC had become alienated from the broader community through the actions and attitudes of some of its most public members. The resignees have reformed a new group that is in line with their original intentions to enage and be in welcoming dialogue with the whole of the Muslim community. The Canadian Muslim Union.
