I offered this affidavit to Chapters' Media Relations Director BEFORE she issued her press release, but she declined it and went ahead with the release anyway.
Why was she in such a rush to call me "racist" before she even completed her investigation. The evidence shows that she did not bother to get written statements from the employees until well AFTER she issued her release.
Why was Canada's monopoly book retailer in such a rush to defer to some young Islamists?
I have removed the name of the professors until it becomes public knowledge at the trial. This draft was used in the Court action to get an Order directing Rogers to disclose the customer name and address for the computer IP address for the terrible internet posting on Canadian Coalition for Democracies web site, alleging fraudulently in the name of a reputable Jewish family that what I said at the lecture was even worse than alleged by Ms. Al-Halimi - the maker of the post alleged that I said, "all arabs and Muslims deserve to die."
When we got the court order, Rogers disclosed that the computer belonged to the defendant Howaida Wahdan. Her daughter Alia Khedr admitted on the telephone that she is friends with the book store employee, Raneem Al-Halimi.
Don't people who lie ever think that they might be found out? Is it "racist" to speculate whether people from one specific culture lie more than others? We had better come to terms with these questions......
