Congratulations Seidu!
WINNIPEG -- Five months after nearly freezing to death on a treacherous walk across the Canada-U.S. border, and still learning to get along without the 10 fingers and thumbs he lost to frostbite, Seidu Mohammed is happy.
He gets to stay in Canada.
The Immigration and Refugee Board has granted Mohammed refugee status on the basis that the 24-year-old bisexual professional soccer player from Ghana would face persecution if returned to his home country.
I feel so happy. I feel now that this country is my home now," he said Thursday, sitting at the kitchen table in his home. With a bit of effort, he opened a binder and produced the written decision from the Immigration and Refugee Board.
"I want to do anything possible to contribute to this country because this country has done a lot to me that I didn't expect. Ever since I came here, I've seen a lot of good people who give me courage and also support me."

Controversial Muslim preacher to speak in Calgary

CALGARY - The controversial Muslim preacher who says homosexuals are evil and advocates for their death is set to speak at an upcoming event in Calgary.
Dr. Bilal Philips, a Canadian-born Muslim preacher with reputed links to terrorists who's been ousted from several countries, is to be a speaker at the Power of Unity Conference.
(OH-if the goof was born here then we have to let him in- BUT- what is wrong with our Human Rights- but too often WRONG- Commission going after the guy and punishing him for hate speech?)
The event, being held by the Muslim Council of Calgary June 29 to July 1, aims to celebrate multiculturalism and more than a half-century of Islam in Canada.
Pride Calgary spokesman Doug Hass is disappointed Philips, on a roster alongside nearly two dozen speakers, is invited to spread his "hatred" here.
Saying the organization isn't planning any protests, Hass wouldn't be surprised if some people show up to voice their opinion at the event.
"It is a disappointment," he said Saturday.
"We respect freedom of speech and religion. But I believe religion is about peace, love and tolerance, not wishing death against any community."
(Dead bodies are very peaceful- till the maggots get at them. Muslims must like maggots as Muslims produce so much dead meat for them to feast on? But somebody should explain to Muslims that dead bodies are Not considered good multicultural material- except perhaps in parts of the Middle East? Oh dear me-must we Cdns resign ourselves to maggot riddled meat as part of OUR culture now that Muslims are here?)
Ald. Diane Colley-Urquhart said Philips' track record is concerning, but he will be monitored during his Calgary visit to ensure he doesn't cross the line from freedom of speech to pushing hatred.
"I absolutely believe in freedom of speech," she said.
"We have a police service that takes hate crimes extremely seriously and a police chief that is very committed to tolerance.
(That`s nice- our cops have so little do that its best we find make work for them- like standing around listening to some goof spout hate?)
"On the other hand, the chief also respects freedom of speech ... You can march, you can be free to say whatever you want to say -- your views and beliefs end where my rights begin."
Colley-Urquhart finds it "somewhat ironic" Philips is invited to speak at a conference aiming to unite people.
"I guess every time one of these characters comes to town and espouses extreme divisive views there is always a chance to stand up and say it doesn't define our city," she said.
Calgary immigration lawyer Raj Sharma will speak about multiculturalism at the conference. He signed up unaware Philips was also on the list.
He said his position of an "inclusive, pluralistic" Canada where "homosexuals have the same rights" as anyone else is very different from Philips' stance, and he hopes Philips' attendance won't detract from the aim of the event to look at how Muslims are part of the Canadian tapestry.
(Oh right- Muslims are part of that SEPARATE PATTERN that clashes with all the others- Muslims form the pattern most of us want RID OF because it is costly, arrogant and definitely DANGEROUS!)
"All Canadians should be concerned about hate speech, specific groups should not be targeted with that kind of vitriol," Sharma said.
Philips was kicked out of Kenya earlier this year amid security concerns.
Britain and Australia have barred him and Germany kicked him out last year.
(He was born here so we cannot kick him out but there ARE LAWS about hate speech-IF LIE-berals care to use them! How is it that a Toronto printer can be FINED by Human Wrongs poobahs for declining to print gay positive posters because he is a Catholic but we cannot shut down one stupid Muslim who wants to KILL gays?)
On his website, the Islamic convert said AIDS is a message from God about the perils of homosexuality and last year in Toronto he was quoted as saying "according to Islamic law, homosexuals should be executed if caught in the act."
Mayor Naheed Nenshi and Calgary police were unavailable for comment Saturday while a Power of Unity Conference spokesman declined to comment.
(Yeah- politicians duck and hide whenever Muslims get bad press!)

Legal ports of entry... Canada can deny them entry there.
Well it is warmer these days.
Yweah-it`s warmer but Muslims are still dangerous! I wonder what our civil service Hogs think of a fingerless Muslim refugee? Its not like he will become a fast typist or anything like that? Is the guy not going to be a life long drain on the economy since his hands are destroyed and will HIS NEEDS not cut into the supply of gravy Hogs want to claim as their own?
Oh it is a HARD TIME to be a Hog! LIE-berals have promised so much gravy and delivered so LITTLE! And now they rae wasting gravy on these new people instead of bribing Hogs riding that wonderful gvot gravy train!
And what gravy will be available to Hogs after LIE-berals implement their national Carbon crap and trade scam? And of course LIE-berals also have plans to hit Hogs with new Canada Pension Plan contributions....what will those Hogs do in the next election? Cry in despair? Turn to Greens? Assassinate a few LIE-berals to teach the others?
Veltschmertz- a German word meaning " to take pleasure in the discomfort of others- SOOWHEE little Hogs!
