They went down this route after Maclean's made it clear that they didn't want to entertain a fair response to Steyn's smear job. Maclean's has been on a tear recently, publishing several Islamophobic articles over the past few years.
If they have the right to publish whatever they want, then Canada's Muslims have a right to challenge them.
If this was a case of articles being published against Israel or Jews, then the cries of anti-Semitism would make everyone deaf. For God's sake, lets try to practice the equality that we love to bark about so much. Is that really such a tall order?
