| Calgary police dismiss hate crime charges |
| 2013-04-20 |
| Police in Calgary dismissed accusations that a local Muslim group was guilty of anti-Semitic hate crimes. B’nai Brith Canada said earlier this week that two anti-Semitic articles posted on the website for the Muslim Council of Calgary could cause violent hostility toward Jews and possibly amounted to a hate crime. The charges were dropped by Calgary police. Calgary police hate crimes coordinator Eric Levesque said, “The Jewish and Muslim communities in Calgary have a very good relationship. I don’t know what B’nai Brith’s motivations are.” Levesque said that although the material might be offensive, it did not reach a criminal level. The articles in question accused Jews of “debauchery and immorality” and of “deviating from the Torah” when it came to Israel. One of the articles quoted The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, citing a Jewish plot to destroy religion. That post was removed earlier this week. |
