Liberal Party candidate Farhan Chak and his views on terrorism and a few other things
Sometimes you come across someone who wants to seem so reasonable, that you just have to check on what he's really all about. Farhan Chak is one of those people. He is one of the newest members of Stephane Dion's new Liberal Party and a supporter of Dion's during the Liberal Party leadership race. His views on Stephen Harper and on the Western media and on Islamic fundamentalism make for interesting reading.
Here is the news report of Farhan Chak's nomination win in Edmonton-Mills Wood-Beaumont:
EDMONTON - Farhan Chak became the Liberal candidate Saturday in the federal riding of Edmonton-Mill Woods-Beaumont.
"I could never do this if it was for me," said an exhausted Chak after Saturday's vote. "I honestly think we have a mission to gear this country in a new direction."
Chak defeated hopeful Sital Nanuan in the two-way race. Riding president Sophia Yaqub said about 1,000 people cast votes.
Chak, 33, was born in Toronto but has lived since he was a baby in the Mill Woods area. A graduate of the University of Alberta, he recently finished a doctorate in political science at the University of Durham in England. He has worked for former MP David Kilgour in Edmonton and Ottawa.
Chak decided to run for the nomination after attending last year's Liberal leadership convention, where he was a supporter of Stephan Dion.
"People don't trust politicians anymore and I want honesty back, and integrity," he said.
"Our campaign was run around one theme, that kindness should never be equated with weakness. In contemporary society, the focus ... is on the stick rather than on consultation and sharing."
Chak expects a federal election to be called soon.
"The word in Ottawa is that they are itching for a spring election."
The Liberal Party offers congratulations!
Kindess is not weakness. Stephen Harper uses a stick instead of consultation and a sense of sharing.
I can almost see the hummingbirds and butterflies dart to and fro behind Chak as he says these words.
Well, let's queue up the Imperial March from Star Wars and get to brass tacks.
The crisis in the Middle East? The Western media is entirely at fault for completely misreporting the whole thing:
Palestine
By Farhan Mujahid Chak,
PbD Candidate
Edmonton, CanadaThe outlandish analyses by the 'Western' media of the Palestinian crisis mirrors a cyclic travesty of justice for the Palestinians. The grotesque partisanship deflects Israeli complicity in the ongoing violence towards a poor, penniless and persecuted Palestinian people. Media distortions of reality paint wrong images of equality between Palestinian children armed with `stones' and Israeli militia cowering in 'tanks.' Palestinians are held in contempt for wanting equality, resisting brutal occupation, and dying at the hands of their oppressor.
The butcher of the Sabra and. Shatila refugee camps, the notorious Ariel Sharon, has been elected Israel's Prime Minister and has shamelessly withdrawn all pledges grudgingly granted. The Palestinians have been reduced to slaves, thrown into squalor in a land they once inhabited. To add insult to injury, the Israeli government insists on `showing restraint' by murdering children, raping women, and torturing an entire populace labeling this all as Palestinian' 'collective suicide.'
Violence whether direct, structural or cultural, is rightly condemned; yet, there exists colossal difference between aggression and defense ? Palestinians fight to survive and the Israeli government, along with its military apparatus, fights to crush. Similarly, St. Augustine tells the story of a pirate captured by Alexander the Great who asked him 'How he dares to molest the sea.' 'How dare you molest the whole world?' The pirate replies. 'Because I do it with a little ship only, I am called thief you, doing it with a great navy, are called an Emperor.'
Murdering children and raping women? What next? Matzas made from children's blood?
And what about Stephen Harper's attempts to destabilize Poland and visiting terrible consequences on the Polish community in Canada with his agenda of racial superiority. Poland?
Today, Canada is at a unique crossroads with two paths in opposing directions. These two paths have strikingly different visions of Canada, and our place, as Canadians of diverse ethnic backgrounds, in it.
The road being paved by the Conservative party is for those that oppose the basic Charter of Rights and Freedoms, ridicule our multicultural heritage and believe in coercive homogenization. This wayward way refuses to acknowledge climate change, is attempting to eradicate judicial independence, wishes to alter Canadian peacekeeping with war-mongering and is upholding the failed Bush administration's neo-conservative agenda as a model. It is a dreary road, pockmarked with intellectual pot-holes, exclusiveness, racial superiority, injustice and arrogance.
Two paths, two destinies - the Canadian Polish community should passionately engage themselves in the political process or risk terrible consequences. More clearly, the Conservative agenda conflicts directly with the cherished wishes of the Canadian-Polish community by discontinuing the development of civil society in Poland through the work of CIDA. Together, we can prevent the right-wing Conservatives from further trying to destabilize Poland.
And Chak has an opinion about the GIA (the French acronym of the Armed Islamic Group), which through the nineties slaughtered thousands of civilians in Algeria, depopulating entire villages, in its quest to form an Islamic state.
An Inquiry into the Algerian Massacres
Youcef Bedjaoui, Abbas Aroua, Meziane Ait-Larbi, eds. Geneva: Hoggar Books, 1999. 1,473 pages.
Reviewed by:
Farhan Mujahid Chak
Ph.D. Candidate - University of Durham
Durham, United KingdomThe book under review offers a monumental, exhaustive and judicious account of "who are the agents behind the 'horrendous violence' that has followed the consolidation of the military over incumbent authorities?" The answer provided by the victors, those with the power to institute their choic - es and interpretations, is that the paroxysm of "Islamic fundamentalism" is exacting grisly, gratuitous and ghastly violence on a society they have been unable to conquer. On the contrary, scholars insist the beneficiaries of the resource rich regions of Algeria, largely unscathed in the carnage, are indicative of the faceless murderers behind the monstrosity. Moreover, the primary importance of these resources to foreign states and corporations indicates complicity. Amidst this confusing scenario, An Inquiry into the Algerian Massacres provides a clear analysis of the beastly culprits.
The beastly culprits are foreign (read Western) states, and their corporate interests. In order to keep us from getting confused, Chak renders "Islamic Fundamentalist" in quotes throughout, to ensure we understand that the concept is an artificial construct created by the media and shadowy Western intelligence agencies. There is no such thing as an "Islamic Fundamentalist", he seems to suggest over and over again. Indeed, the terrorists (or is that "terrorists"?) are really proxies of the French secret service:
Major international human rights organizations and outstanding journalists have not found the "Islamic fundamentalist" argument compelling and continue to raise the same question: "Who is behind these grisly atrocities?" The evidence unearthed strongly suggests that the unseen hands, responsible for the bloodbath, belong to the Algerian army. In addition, striking corroboration has come from defectors and victims which incriminates the Algerian military apparatus and such foreign co-conspirators as the French government. This allegation is firmly supported by the environs of the savagery, taking place in close proximity to military and police installations, yet raging for long periods with no interference.
Indeed, the GIA is guilty of nothing, not even the attacks on French soil. Remember those?
The Algerian state pursued a number of strategies against the GIA. One was to encourage France to take an active part in the fight against the networks of the GIA in France, and thus to cut off its principal means of support abroad.
In an unsuccessful attempt to keep France out of the struggle, the GIA hijacked Air France Flight 8969, which was en route from Algiers to Paris in December 1994. The GIGN stormed the plane, preventing it from being crashed into the Eiffel Tower, reportedly its intended target.
The GIA conducted a series of bombings in France from 1995 to 1996. Analysis of a bomb with a failed trigger mechanism made it possible to identify a conspirator, Khaled Kelkal, who was shot and killed by French gendarmes on September 29, 1995. In late 1999, several GIA members were convicted by a French court for the 1995 bombing campaign.
In 1998, prior to the World Cup in France, in collaboration with the other European countries, launched a vast preventive operation against the GIA. About 100 alleged members of the group were arrested throughout Europe. In Belgium, security forces seized weapons, detonators and forged identity papers. On June 11, 1999, the GIA announced a jihad on French territory in a threatening letter addressed to the media.
The truth is, of course, that the French spy services were behind those too, and not "Islamic Fundamentalists", including the hijacking of Air France Flight 8969, during which three passengers were executed by the hijackers, and over a dozen more died when police stormed the plane and the hijackers exploded a grenade in the passenger cabin:
Noam Chomsky, in his insightful foreword to the book, collaborates this damning reality with the testimonies of defecting secret agents, who insist that not only were the massacres in Algeria organized and undertaken by the Algerian army and secret services, then attributed to the "Islamic Fundamentalists," but so were the bombings in Paris in 1995, with the covert collusion of French authorities. Clearly then, although the belief that the "GIA, Groupe Islamique Arme, an Islamist insurgent group, is widely accepted as responsible for the bloodbath, this belief will be shown to be actually false (B. Izel, J.S. Wafa and W. Isaac, "What is the GIA?")
In conclusion, the chapter alleges the paternity of the Algerian military hierarchy over the GIA. The focus is on the identity of the mysterious and murderous GIA, stating that it is a counter-insurgency group controlled by the Algerian military with covert assistance by French secret services.
This section of the population collectively favors the establishment of an international commission of inquiry into the massacres and violations of human rights so that the perpetrators may be unambiguously identified. Sadly, the Algerian authorities continuously refuse an international inquiry to corroborate their claims of an "Islamic fundamentalist" connivance.
A comprehensive study with careful documentation and thorough analysis provides a powerful damnation of the Algerian military junta, their co-conspirators within French intelligence services, and all who turn a blind eye to the haunting scenes of bloodshed.
Well, if Noam Chomsky says in the foreward that the Algerian massacres and the related attacks on French soil were in fact the work of the French government, then it must be true.
Love those quotes on "Islamic Fundamentalists"!
Hey, if the Liberals should come into power, and if Farhan Chak should be elected, who thinks he would be a great fit for Foreign Affairs Minister, or maybe Multiculturalism? No wait -- Public Safety!
He can keep an eye out for French secret agents disguised as "Islamic Fundamentalists".
Western media in cahoots with Israel. Stephen Harper's plan to destabilize Poland and his pursuit of a philosophy of racial superiority through his warmongering. Algerian massacres being the work of French secret agents and their proxies in an attempt to maintain control of North Africa on behalf of their corporate masters. "Islamic fundamentalism" a myth concocted by Western governments to hide their own actions, including attacks on their own citizens.
Wow. Someone should ask Chak what he thinks really happened on 9/11.
Remember what Chak said:
I honestly think we have a mission to gear this country in a new direction.
Anyone feeling like following Farhan Chak, newest team member of Stephane Dion's Liberal Party and a Dion supporter, along the direction his mind works?
One more thing. Chak's middle name is Mujahid. It means "holy warrior", a fighter in the Jihad. Cute.
Amusing follow-up: Is anyone wondering whether a reporter will ask Canadian Liberal Party leader Stephane Dion, who is very proud of his French citizenship, what he thinks about Farhan Chak's theory that assigns the responsibility for the slaughter of innocent Algerians and for attacks on French citizens on French soil to the French government and not to "Islamic Fundamentalists"?

Wow. I think this is one of the ridings that could feasibly go liberal as well.
They are really pandering to the ethnic (which is substantial), militant (which I have no clue about) vote with this nominee.

The Libs should let the Greens run uncontested in the riding of Edmonton-Mill Woods-Beaumont as well. Dion has to turf this nut.

In the words of the Times, as quoted in Black Adder III:
"Phew! What a Loony!"
I caution you however, to remember what Hitler said. Hitler explained in Mein Kampf that the purpose of study was to find material supporting conclusions you had already reached before starting: all such could be lavishly quoted in support of your arguments, and any conflicting material could be discarded as obviously the writer didn't know what he was talking about.
This viewpoint is widespread among certain circles of academics, and could perhaps explain how this guy could make it to PhD with a worldview so detached from reality as to defy description, let alone understanding.

So that's what this Country is breeding!
It looks like we need to carefully read our history and the values this Country was built on and then demand they be respected and represented in our Government.
There are some pretty controversial views out there and supporters of such views. Sadly they get nominations in ridings where the delegates are stacked.

Steve there is something you have to understand. Non-political life is where people work cooperatively and peacefully with their family, neighbours and business associates. They achieve happiness only to the extent that they are able to build, maintain and improve these relationships. Non-political, private life is the ultimate democracy because one votes every day with every action - freely and without compulsion - for who one deals with, how much one should pay for something (that is in the absence of a government monopoly or cartel), where to worship, who to listen to, etc.
Political life is the sphere in which one earns money and power not through hard work and peaceful cooperation, but with rhetoric and by the wielding of the state's monopoly on violence - for example to collect taxes, enforce regulations, give jobs to your friends and family, protect cartels, and so on. Decent people mostly avoid this area because they can do much better for themselves in the peaceful, private sphere of life, and in any case they are repulsed by the deceit and strife that are the normal way of life in the political sphere.
Do not be surprised then at the type of people who are attracted to political life, or by the shocking views that they hold. These are people who cannot or will not live their life peacefully and productively. And don't be so naïve as to think that one faction of political aspirants is inherently any better than the others. The rules are the same, the power they wish to wield is the same, and the benefits of succeeding in the political sphere are the same.
The dweebish Farhan and the gormless Stephan are not repulsive simply by existing, but they are repulsive because of the tremendous opportunity to do harm which will be presented to them if they succeed by cunning and rhetoric in winning control of your government. Much better to dismantle the levers of power and live your life in freedom, than to stay up at night worrying about how to out-weasel the weasels in the next election. You lose that fight as soon as you join it.

The Liberals will be bolstered by their pals in the MSM who would never dedicate the time needed to report on the crazies who are selected.
The Greens and Liberals in many parts of Canada are not credible political parties, they represent the fringe elements.
It is like Elizabeth May and some of the appointed hacks in the Senate who have never created real jobs who blithered and blustered today that the economic reports that say our economy would tank if we rushed headlong lemming like to hit Kyoto targets set years ago, and ignored by the governing Liberals.

Mr. Janke should read the Cohen Commission Report as well as the UN Security Resolutions on the events of 1982 of Sabra and Shatila. This not only confirmed the wrongful actions of the Israeli military and the attrocities committed but also was corroborated by reliable international reports from the Red Cross and other reputable NGO's
Perhaps the Red Cross, Israeli Government and the United Nations are all conspiracy theorists.
I would love to hear Mr. Janke's answer to what he thinks of the UN, Climate Change or Women's Rights?
It is very irresponsive of this site to try and defame someone who is only confirming international facts that occurred over two decades ago.
Unfortunately this site goes through a lengthy analysis of interpreting words not written. It is something that disgusts those who believe in positive discussions which must begin by addressing the problem.
Thoughout history, there have been monstors who have tried to discredit individuals by blaming the victims and calling them extremists and terrorists. The same can be said about this site.
Israel is occupying someone else's land, regardless of how you want to classify the acts of the Palestinians, this is not something I would be ignoring when talking about the difficulties in the Middle East.
By commenting on someone's religion as if it is something to be worried about confirms the racism that permeates from this site.
Others such as Mr. Khanna and Mr. Singh are also using their religious/ethnic backgrounds to show their discrimination. They, though, are a minority within their own minorities since the Liberal Party stands for ALL citizens including minorities.
I hope people take the time to read the full book review that Mr. Chak wrote and see how this site has butchered it for their ill-natured attempt at defamation.
Anybody who gives credence to Mr. Janke and his nonsense should be ashamed of themselves as a person who is augmenting hatred. People like that have no place in Canada nor in civil society.

Posts such as Sarah Klapstein's are typical of Left-winged Liberal nutjobs who see the world through some sort of rosie coloured glasses.
Sarah, do you mean the same Red Cross that allows palestinian terrorists to use their ambulances to transport them through checkpoints in an attempt to blow up Israeli citizens or those NGO’s who are only allowed to see what the PA/Hamas/Hezbollah allows them to see.
Palestinians are victims of their own creation. There never was a Palestine to leave from in the first place. “Palestinians” lived in either a part of Egypt or on the Jordanian “West Bank”. “Palestinians” were never forced to leave by the Jews but, were told to leave by the regional arab countries (just before they attacked Israel), with the promise by them (arab countries) that once the Jews were cast into the sea your father would get his own homeland.
THERE NEVER WAS OR HAS BEEN A COUNTRY CALLED “PALESTINE”!!!
The Palestinians are refugees because they chose to be. They thought that the Jews would be gotten rid of and that they could move right back, into a now new country of Palestine. That is what the “right of return” is all about.
Palestinians want back what they freely gave up some 50 yrs ago when they thought the newly created Jewish state of Israel would be defeated by the regional arab countries.
Didn’t quite work out for them, did it.
But I suspect that reality plays only a small part if any in Sarah life because as a Liberal, reality has no place in their demented view of the world. If I don’t see or recognize something (terrorists for example) than in their reality they don’t exist. Apparently only traditional or conservative Canadians are evil, because we don’t buy into the “Rosie” coloured world theory.
What a bunch of traitorous, irrational and psychologically damaged people liberal have become.

To the ignorant illiterate man claiming to know the Chak Family. I too have known the Chak family for over 20 years. The father was a police officer in Toronto and left the job and came to Edmonton to become an accountant. Farhan Chak’s father has been heavily involved in all communities regardless of ethnicity or religion. He is friends with several Sikhs and Hindus who have been backing the Chak’s in their campaign. Sital Nanuan is an absolute clown who is so bitter over his defeat (despite several cheating tactics employed to earn more votes) that he has set out to smear the good Chak family name. Farhan Chak’s father has worked for CKER radio and Des Punjab Radio, which is run by Sikhs. The Chak family lost a lot in the Kashmir earthquake. That is a fact. They also donated money to the Kashmir earthquake. Mr. Chak lost several friends due to the earthquake and his sister and her family had to move out of Azad Kashmir to Islamabad. Again fact. Despite being from the Kashmir region and resenting India’s policy in regards to Kashmir, this family is still friends with several Sikhs and Hindus (several of who agree and respect their viewpoints). Just because you disagree with a government’s policy does not mean you are attacking the country or automatically anti-Semitic. There is another point that I will make since this website is keen on talking about irrelevant things such as middle names and what they mean. Do a search on Kashmiri’s and you’ll find that Jewish people themselves claim that Kashmiri’s are the lost 12 tribes of Israel. Kashmiri’s have long been regarded as having a Jewish ancestry and refer to themselves as Beni Israel (Children of Israel). The Kashmiri language consists of Farsi and Hebrew elements and Kashmir is pronounced Koshur in Hebrew. Again just because Farhan Chak does not agree with some of Israel’s policy does not mean that he is an anti-Semitic and to label him as such, as well as a Muslim extremist is far from the truth. This young man is working towards the betterment of society and to bring together all cultures and religions. We are human first. Everything else is secondary. The articles Farhan Chak has written have been entirely taken out of context and it shows the ignorance of the conservatives and those that back them that they will do anything to make sure a Muslim does not get ahead in Canadian politics due to their racism and fear of minorities taking over. Just because you have one or two ethnic people in the conservative government doesn’t take away from their ignorant and racist policies against immigrants and their plan to demolish multiculturalism in Canada. Conservatives often employ ethnic minorities (bribe them and what not) in order to cause destruction to other minorities. What better way to ruin the morale of minorities in Canada than by bribing and employing some of their own who can convince them that the best way is the conservative way. Once the conservatives achieve their goals I’d like to see if Rahim Jaffer is even living in the country. I am sure some of you on here have seen The Birth of a Nation (aka the Clansmen) by D.W. Griffith. When I think conservatives I think D.W. Griffith. In that film which strangely echoes some Conservative policies, the only good Black’s are those that support racist Whites. Fascinating film and for those of you who haven’t seen it I strongly suggest you watch it. I’m sure you’ll find pieces of yourselves within the film. Some of the comments on this website are disgusting regarding an attack on Muslims as being filthy just showing the hatred spewing from this site and than you actually have the nerve to bring up Rahim Jaffer. The charges laid against Chak have no basis whatsoever and if you did your research you would find that over 30% of Canadians have had charges laid against them at some point or another. This was a case of mistaken identity and Chak was exonerated and why this issue is being brought forth 15 years after the fact is beyond my understanding. Farhan Chak has gone on to get four degrees, which is a lot more than any of you will ever do in your lives. If he were really such a violent man he’d be sitting in jail right now instead of having accomplished so much in his life. The entire family is rather gifted while Farhan’s twin is a lawyer and works with Alberta Human Rights. This family believes in helping those less fortunate than them and have gained many friends over the years and unfortunately many enemies as well. Whether Farhan Chak goes on to go against Mike Lake or not is irrelevant, as he will go on to do great things whether anyone likes it or not. Justice will prevail.

Miss Carton calling names like "clown" to fellow liberals like the respected Sital Nanuan is too immature. You should also come to know that if Sital Nanuan had all of his supporters at the nomination then Mr. Chak would be lose this is 100% FACT even Mr. Chak will tell you this FACT. I know so many poeples from Mr. Nanuan supporters who did not come on the voting day. This is not important who win now I just I like to say that you should not be calling names we must be respect each other please.

Miss Carlton seems to know alot about Mr. Farhan Chak. Does that mean she will be investigated [targeted] next?

Farhan's campaign platform is clearly stated at www.VoteChak.ca, part of which says "violence is never the solution"
He should be more clear about this and state his full view based on his writings "violence is never the solution (unless you're talking about Muslims blowing up non-Muslims)"
