Conservative writer Mark Steyn and Maclean's magazine have ticked off the Canadian Islamic Congress.  Maclean's published a screed taken from Steyn's book America Alone: The End of the World As We Know It. The excerpt, published in October 2006, was entitled The Future Belongs To Islam.

The group has filed three separate human rights complaints for what they see as an Islamophobic rant -- an injury compounded by Maclean's' refusal to publish a multi-page, unedited rebuttal, according to a Canadian Press article.

B.C. writer Terry Glavin asks if such disputes are really what human rights tribunals should be adjudicating.
