Freedom of the press is on trial in Canada.
The trial is before a court with the Orwellian title of the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal. The accused are Maclean's magazine and author Mark Steyn. The crime: In mocking and biting tones, they wrote that Islam threatens Western values.
Had Steyn written that, given the Crusades, colonial atrocities in Africa and the slave trade, Christianity had been on balance a curse, he would not be in the dock. In the United States, these charges would have been tossed out by any federal judge, who would have admonished the plaintiffs that, here in America, we have a First Amendment. Join the U.S. Navy and Proud Americans in Warning:
"Don't Tread on Me" Flags bearing rattlesnakes and bearing the simple warning "Don't Tread on Me" were first flown on the first ships of the Continental Navy in the Delaware River in 1775. Today, as America faces unprecedented threats, this historic symbol of our founding has emerged as a reminder of our origin and true courage. The Secretary of the Navy, Gordon R. England, has ordered all U.S. Navy ships to fly the First Navy Jack in place of the Union Jack for the duration of the Global War on Terrorism. We invite you to proudly display this American symbol and send a message to the world that America will stand up to its aggressors and preserve liberty.

The United States, however, is an isolated exception, as Western nations seek to impose wider restrictions on what has come to be called "hate speech."
Questioning the Holocaust is a crime in Canada and Europe, as British historian David Irving discovered when he was sentenced to prison in Austria. To say the Armenian massacres of 1915-1924 were an attempt at genocide is a crime in Turkey. The "green movement" is bad for the planet Did you know that the Live Earth concert to "save the planet" released more Co2 into the atmosphere than every SUV in America? Or that estrogen from birth control and "morning after" pills is causing male fish across America to develop female sex organs - and that environmentalists, who are overwhelmingly "pro-choice," have helped cover it up? Fortunately, you can discover facts like these in Iain Murray's brand-new book, The REALLY Inconvenient Truths: Seven Environmental Catastrophes Liberals Don't Want You to Know About (Because They Helped Cause Them) -- a rollicking exposé of environmental blowhards who waste more energy, endanger more species, and actually kill more people (yes, that's right) than the environmental villains they finger.
