I'm not interested in what everyone 'would' be doing if it was against Jews. That's a tired deflection. And yes, Canada's Muslims have the right to challenge Maclean's for publishing something they felt was unfair. They can do that through any variety of media.
What they don't have the right to do is force Maclean's to publish something they see as more favourable in their own magazine. The fact that these folks are claiming that it's their human right to do so is pretty ridiculous.
It's an interesting notion of freedom of press - that if anyone disagrees with an opinion piece, they're required to offer an equal amount of space to those who take issue with it. That's not how it works here though.
