The unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas jihad terror funding case, CAIR, claims discrimination yet again, this time over chaos at the Canada-U.S. border.

Dozens of Canadians and Americans of Iranian descent say they were held and interrogated at a U.S. border crossing in B.C. over the weekend as tensions between Iran and the U.S. heat up.

Due diligence should be expected, but not according to Sam Sadr, “an Iranian-Canadian who travelled to the U.S. using his Canadian passport.” He complains that “he was held at the border for eight hours, during which time he saw dozens of other Iranians held, including children.” Difficult as it was, it is unsurprising, but he claims he was very surprised, in fact, shocked:

“This is the first time I put my feet in the U.S. I told the border person this is very [shocking] and called discrimination.”

A personal example: I was raised in Canada but born in Trinidad, an island with (surprisingly) the highest recruitment for the Islamic State in the Western hemisphere. It is also the only Western country to experience an Islamic coup attempt, which was in 1990. Had Trinidad jihadists been at a point of escalating confrontation with America, and Muslim Trinidadians were protesting against America in the streets, calling America “terrorist” and celebrating and promoting jihad, I personally would expect to face a great deal of scrutiny when traveling to the U.S. It would simply be stupid not to. Sadr is from a country devoid of human rights, a hellhole featuring the wanton murder of citizens and arbitrary imprisonments, but notice that he has no appreciation for the peace, rule of law and security that America gives him. And as always, CAIR puts his “rights” above concerns for national security.

Canada also has a unique problem pertaining to Iran. In September 2012, Iran’s embassy in Ottawa was shut down for security reasons by the previous Conservative Government of Canada. Just prior to the closure, it was discovered that a a tight network of Iranian terrorists was expanding a fifth column in Canada. Iran had been using the Canadian embassy to mobilize Islamic Republic loyalists to infiltrate the Canadian government and, some terrorism experts warned, attack the United States. My article in the Gatestone Institute a month before the embassy was closed, “Shut Down Iran’s Embassy in Ottawa,” addresses the extent of Iranian influence in Canada.
