What's Syed screaming about now?

-- CALGARY -- A Calgary Muslim leader is thankful members of the Calgary Police Service are pursuing anonymous Internet users who posted what he called "chilling threats" on an Alberta-based website.

On Saturday, Mr. Soharwardy issued a press release thanking Calgary police after he said they have identified that two of the anonymous postings were from Ontario and one was from the United States.

A duty inspector with the Calgary police yesterday said he couldn't confirm information on the case and didn't have details about what might happen next.
Funny... he didn't send out a press release about his own little "threatening" issue...
Also reported in January, three Muslim women from his mosque have filed a human-rights complaint against Mr. Soharwardy with allegations of sexism and violence.

He denied the allegations and said sectarian divisions and a power struggle in the mosque were to blame.

UPDATE:
"Now, we have to take everything Soharwardy says with a brick of salt."

"I can spot at least one fabrication in this very brief story -- contrary to his claim, Soharwardy did not file a human rights complaint in December against the Western Standard website (which I sold last fall to a new owner)."

"That's just a bit of taqiyya on Soharwardy's part, as per usual."
