Oct 26, 2004 statement by Deepak Obhrai on the issue of Antisémitisme et intolérance

Statement par Deepak Obhrai


[26 October, 2004]

Mr. Deepak Obhrai (Calgary East, CPC): [ Obhrai.D@parl.gc.ca ] Mr. Speaker, calling [the Jewish] community "monkeys" and "pigs" is utterly unacceptable. The statements made by the head of the Dar al-Madinah Islamic Society are outrageous and offensive because they divide communities. In fact, Sheik Younus' comments threaten the multicultural fabric of this country. Also, the comments by Dr. Elmasry, calling all Israelis terror targets are against Canadian values.

My question is, why has the government not condemned these intolerant acts? Why?
