Arab groups say Tories refuse to meet with them

Artical

I cannot explain to you how filled with apathy I am at that headline.


Some of Canada's largest Arab organizations say they are being frozen out by the Conservative government.

Although the Tories have run an active outreach campaign to several ethnic communities — including the Hindu, Sikh, and Chinese communities — Arab groups say the party appears to have made a decision to write off the Arab vote.


I suppose I'm supposed to care that a minority is getting the shaft ...


Both Prime Minister Stephen Harper — who earlier angered some Arabs over his support for Israel during the Israeli/Hezbollah conflict...


this doesn't help. The fact that the minority in question is activly working to promote racisim against another minority (Jews) only deepens my apathy.

What does a country with strong hate laws do , how does such a country deal , with a minority that actively promotes hate ?

Staying low , staying quiet , and avoiding them seems to be the current tactic. Certainly anyone saynig "Yeah we think you arabs are right , we really should kill all the jews" is going to get in trouble deep.

What do you do ?
