Guess Who's Delivering the Keynote Speech at This Year's "Reviving the Islamic Spirit" Confab in Toronto? None Other Than Pierre's Lad Justin.HT: Scaramouchee.While Justin "Bieber" Trudeau is addressing the multitudes/shilling for votes on December 22, I wonder if he'll be at all bothered by the fact that another of the event's speakers at the confab, Dr. Jamal Badawi, has, among other things:
- issued a fatwa for Islamonline, outlining six different conditions in which a wife may properly be beaten according to his understanding of “Islamic teaching,” because, he stated, “there are cases … in which a wife persists in bad habits.”
- played a part in a November 2004 fatwa by the International Union of Muslim Scholars decreeing that it was a religious “duty” for all able-bodied Muslims inside and outside Iraq to wage jihad against the American military.
- justified Muslim suicide bombings as a legitimate tactic of jihad.
Also on the bill--Imam Zaid Shakir, a radical sort of chap who:
- Contends that Muslims cannot accept the legitimacy of the existing American order.
- Criticizes the U.S. for its “pattern of demonization, destabilization, and the invasion of hapless Third World nations.
- Claims that organizations such as Hamas and al Qaeda are pursuing manifestly legitimate objectives.
