The political leaders of the West would do well to subscribe to what you have written and advocate it in public, instead of falsely saying that Islam is a religion of peace. The historical and contemporary record says the opposite and you are right to say that Muslims who wish to live in an open society should subscribe to these principles. But in Canada Mark Carney says Muslim values are Canadian values and his government consistently takes an anti-Israel stand, with little pushback from Canadians. The Open Society's enemies also come from its own citizens who do not appreciate what they have and do not defend it. That's what Jews mean when they say what starts with the Jews does not end with them. As you well know from the disgraceful way you were treated by University of Guelph-Humber College, an institution that still has not been reprimanded in any way by responsible public bodies nor suffered from public condemnation by ordinary Canadians.

It’ll be interesting to see how this essay is received in the Muslim world.
Assimilation is the key. Multiculturalism divides us.
I’m too small to be heard in their world.
