Not to be outdone, the CBC gets into the act...

Canada's billion+ dollar public broadcaster goes into full spin mode to make sure Canadians aren't stigmatizing Syrians over the (probable rape) and murder of 13 year old Marrisa Chen.

Who do they trot out to represent the Syrian community?

Danny Ramadan, who came to Vancouver from Syria four years ago, himself a refugee. The acclaimed novelist and LGBTQ activist...

That's right, one of those numerous LGBTQ activists who make up the bulk of the citizenry in Arab countries.

Danny Ramadan would be hurled off a rooftop in Syria, which might be why he came as a refugee. Nevertheless, he is hardly representative of the bulk of Syrians brought into Canada.

"[I've] heard from other Syrians who are extremely shocked by what happened"

So basically hearsay. Not a single shred of hard evidence.

Given that Syria is overwhelmingly homophobic, I wonder how many average Syrians would really be pouring their hearts out to a homosexual.

"Rahim Othman with the Syrian-Canadian Council of B.C. said there have already been negative comments surfacing on social media."

Rahim Ottman

Oh that's just horrible. Negative comments. (Apparently negative comments are a lot worse than being torn apart by shrapnel, which is what Rahim wishes on his countrymen).

I'm sure that Marrisa Shen's last few moments on earth were a LOT more horrible than anything exposure to a few negative comments could summon up. Perhaps the CBC should be focusing on the real victim.
