Dr. Zafar Bangash, the journalist and the director of "The Crescent", the Canadian newspaper was our guest in FWS. He's a Muslim anti-Zionist journalist who is writing and criticizing by Islamic ideology for three decades. What he discussed to us was mostly about Canadian attitude toward its Muslim citizens and Muslims on the whole.
"Canada is dependent on US economically and militarily" he expressed,"90% of Canadian export is to US that's about 8 to 9 hundred million dollars". He said that at the moment, the extreme right wing conservatives have the power, whose attitude towards Muslims and military actions is even harsher than George Bush. Despite 55 to 60% of people's disagreement with Canada's sending soldiers to Afghanistan, the government does so. On the other hand there are troops in Iraq and government holds strong support for Israel. For example, the government's reaction is hypocritical toward Canadian citizens being killed in Afghanistan and Lebanon. Also, Canada was the first to cut off aid to Palestinians when Hamas won the election of 2006. At the end Dr. Bangash believed that Muslim countries like Iran "should establish good relations with Muslim communities in other countries".
