""Ihsaan Gardee of the Council on
American-Islamic Relations Canada said the Muslim community values the freedom
of expression enshrined in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. "We are
not calling on the government to deny him entry, but we would like consistent
standards to be applied. Right now, people are selectively banned from coming
here," said Gardee, referring to the ban on British MP George Galloway by Ottawa
in 2009, allegedly for supporting Hamas, which is classified as a terrorist
group in Canada.""
