Comments on: Is Mohamed Mahjoub Starving Himself? Jeejeebhoy Answers in the Toronto Star http://jeejeebhoy.ca/2009/10/16/is-mohamed-mahjoub-starving-himself-jeejeebhoy-answers-in-the-toronto-star/ Reading is just as important as taking care of yourself Wed, 08 Feb 2012 02:45:57 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Shireen http://jeejeebhoy.ca/2009/10/16/is-mohamed-mahjoub-starving-himself-jeejeebhoy-answers-in-the-toronto-star/comment-page-1/#comment-1510 Shireen Sat, 24 Oct 2009 14:03:29 +0000 http://jeejeebhoy.ca/?p=737#comment-1510 People really can't read, can they. I challenge you to take your anger out of your head and read the post. I know all about the security certificates, but this post's point had absolutely nothing to do with that issue. It was strictly on nutrition and whether it was starvation or malnourishment. And quite frankly, it was even more specific, it was about alerting my readership to my father being quoted in the paper. Tough shit if you don't like that. As for feeling compassion for the man, well, your personal diatribe just sunk that. You want to advocate for Mr Mahjoub, you're doing a piss poor job of it. You had an opportunity to add to this discussion by highlighting his living conditions and the reason for his hunger strike; instead you chose to attack me personally based on your poor rage-filled reading of a post. That's going to get you nowhere. No wonder the poor guy is still at the government's mercy with advocates like you in his corner. People really can’t read, can they.

I challenge you to educate yourself about his Canadian-made nightmare by listening to this Rabble podcast about the unjust security certificate process in Canada. <a href="http://rabble.ca/podcasts/shows/stark-raven-prison-justice/national-security-certificates-and-fight-against-secret-tr" rel="nofollow">LINK</a>. As for The Toronto Star's and your determination that Mr Mahjoub's hunger strike is somehow diminished or somehow less worthy of our compassion and our attention because he may not die from it, well, it's hard to know how to respond in a civil manner to such a hateful, cold-blooded observation. Check out the Podcast. And try, if you dare, to imagine yourself in Mahjoub's shoes. Brian O'Connor Webmaster, Justice for Mohamed Harkat Website Mr. Mahjoub is not a terrorist.
