-- 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.Funny... he didn't send out a press release about his own little "threatening" issue...
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.
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."
