Delusions of grandeur Ezra Levant thinks that "taqiyah" is behind sock-guy Kharrum Awan's taking credit for the complaint to the Alberta HRC about "Islamophobe" Ez publishing some controversial 'toons. (In fact, as Erza points out, the complaint was lodged by Canadian Islamic Supremo Syed Soharwardy).

Respectfully, I beg to differ.

I think the ambitious kvetcher took credit purely for reasons of self-aggrandizement, and because he's confused. It's not so much that he's fibbing about having made the complaint. Rather, it's that he thinks so highly of himself--and is so used to complaining--that he probably thinks he made it.

Delusional? In more ways than one, I'd say.

Gee, I wonder how Syed feels about it all.

I think this guy figured being some kind of crusader (arf, arf) would be his ticket to a legal speciality or at least boost his rep. Unfortunately for him he chose an option which has no panache and is repulsive to those who do any amount of thinking. Hell, most people object to it wihtout thinking, just on a gut reaction. Matter of fact, I think the whole ethnic champion idea is starting to sound really old fashioned and stupid to the public.

I would put forward another theory. More disturbing even than taqiyya.

"Ezra Levant accuses Canada's human rights commissions of censorship for investigating our hate-speech complaints about his publishing of cartoons depicting Muslims."

If you look at it from the perspective of the worldwide "brotherhood" of Muslims, Awan would view Soharwardy as a "brother-in-arms" in the cause of lawfare waged against Canadian-media free speech. Hence the use of the collective "our".

(Taken a step further: has anyone looked into whether Awan knew Soharwardy before this fiasco began? Just asking.)
