Meanwhile, Calgary Imam Syed Soharwardy is re-mortgaging his house and planning to walk across Canada to protest against violence.

Calgary imam Syed Soharwardy has announced a multi-faith walk against
violence, which aims to draw thousands of Canadians to the streets, as the
walk winds its way across the country over the next eight months.

Flanked by leaders from the Anglican and Catholic churches, the United Church
of Canada, the African and Khmer communities, Soharwardy said the walk would
protest all forms of abuse, including child abuse, domestic abuse, terrorism,
gangs, bullying and elder abuse.

The Calgary-driven initiative will kick off in Halifax on April 20 and wind
up in Victoria at the end of November, the team said.

My take: this story gets curiouser and curioser.

For the record, I do not want to see anyone hounded out of a livelihood, whether they are on the right or the left. I do think it is legitimate to ask, however, what a special grievance department within a government department goes and whether any of the same tools and techniques used by the Canadian Human Rights Commission are being employed by this department.

And I am opposed to fake dirt or prank emails, whether it is bloggers on the right or the left writing them, just as I am opposed to human rights commissioners and complainants posting fake hate on various message boards the commissions are investigating. The ends do not justify the means.

While I find the various personalities at play in this saga most interesting and sometimes downright entertaining--one could not get away with writing fiction with this cast of characters--I urge us all to remember that real human beings are involved, no matter what we may think of their actions or points of view. I urge all of us to rise above the easy temptation to demonize the people we disagree with.

It is very easy in the confines of one`s office staring at a computer screen to be far less civil than one might be if meeting someone face to face.

There are fundamental principles and cherished rights and freedoms at stake in this debate. The cast of characters and their individual narratives help drive interest in the debate, but they must not eclipse it.
