 Let It Bleed: More Haroon Lies   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Firstly, Haroon doesn't manage to produce the "assertions of Tony Blair" which Straw's words are "contrary to".
Set aside for the moment that this is down more than 6,000 bodies from Haroon's own earlier claims of the number of dead in Iraq.
If that's true, and we also accept as true Haroon's earlier claims (which are nothing but Baathist propaganda lies) that the UN imposed from 1991 to 2003 killed 1 million Iraqis (for an annual average of 83,000), then the US has managed to reduce the annual number of civilian deaths by nearly 70,000.

 rediff.com US edition: Where Siddiqui found his Star
Haroon Siddiqui is the first South Asian journalist in Canada to have made the big time, the first Muslim, and the first visible minority Canadian in mainstream journalism for over three decades.
Siddiqui has every reason to look back over his 30 years in Canadian journalism with pride.
While he still spends his summers in Canada and winters in India, Siddiqui continues to write no matter where in the world he is, preferring to ponder on issues like the global village or cultural mixing.

 Let It Bleed: Siddiqui: Liar   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
It seems Siddiqui is so terrified of the adverse effect martial law might have on the insurgency, that he jumped the gun in his criticism.
On the issue of Siddiqui's harangue regarding detainees, particularly at Guantanamo, it makes little sense for the Americans to endure the withering PR beatings over Guantanamo if the inmates there are being held on flimsy evidence.
Haroon Siddiqui is not capable to accept the basic values of the Western civilization.

The reporters say that Siddiqui's comments on media convergence and alleged censorship in the CanWest newspaper chain were altered in the account published in yesterday's edition of the Leader-Post.
Siddiqui told an audience at the University of Regina's school of journalism that the Asper family, which owns the media conglomerate, have argued they have a right to their views.

 Islamica Community Forums - Arabs betray tradition of learning   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Not only is the headline of this article racist, but Haroon Siddiqui also failed to provide a persuasively critical reading of the recent U.N. report on Arab League nations.
I would have thought that Haroon Siddiqui's frank and honest assessment of the U.N. report on the subject would have given Elmasry a chance for some serious introspection.
What Siddiqui is missing is that it is the entire Muslim world which is in the gutter, not just the Arabs.

 The hijab controversy
Haroon Siddiqui in the Toronto Star is a liberal democrat troubled by the French ban on the hijab – a stance revealing how much the influence of religion has waned in modern urban society.
Many young urban women wear the hijab today as a defiant assertion of their identity in the face of pressures to conform to Western society, and their daughters – another generation removed from the immigrant culture of their families – will almost certainly not feel the same need to do so.
But Siddiqui is mistaken in his belief that “secularism” was historically “neutral” rather than “anti-religious” when it arose in reaction to superstition and clerical domination, or that modernizing secular reformers like Kamal Ataturk were in their own way as oppressive as their misogynistic opposite numbers in the Taliban.

But the overarching consideration that puts Canadians at risk is a Liberal government whose Middle Eastern policies and domestic anti-terrorism priorities are driven by the need to please the Islamic voting block that helps keep the Liberals clinging to power.
Siddiqui can be very clever in attempting to hide his anti-Israel, anti-American, pro-Islamist biases.
Siddiqui's emphasis on the threat to world peace posed by George Bush and Ariel Sharon, a Canadian can hardly be blamed for assuming that when we are scraping up bodies in the Toronto subway, the murderers will turn out to be radical Americans or Israelis.
