Yrs, etc, Mark Steyn

Dear Sir,

In his letter, Imam Delic of the Canadian Islamic Congress says that, in my Maclean’s columns, I “allege” that “Muslims believe in drinking their enemies’ blood” and that “contemporary Islam condones sex with minors and animals” .

Er, no. It was not I who “alleged” that.

The latter “allegation” was made in the 1980s by the late Ayatollah Khomeini, a quite famous Muslim in his day, and the former “allegation” was made by Sheikh Omar Brooks, a British Muslim, in a well reported debate at Trinity College, Dublin, the oldest debating society in the world.

"No such dedicated Islamist critics grace the francophone media. In particular, while hostile francophone Islamists such as Imam Al-Hayiti exploit the Internet to the hilt, there is a dearth of francophone Web-based sites that expose Islamist agitprop."

"So PdB fills a significant gap in francophone Canadians' knowledge of the multiple threats Islamism poses to Quebec."
