A Canadian author was dragged from his bike, tied to a tree and beaten unconscious after publishing a book critical of Islam.

Paris Dipersico was tied to a tree and beaten for writing an anti-Islam book. The Toronto Sun said this may qualify as a hate crime. (Ya think?)
CNews reported, via Free Republic:
Halton police are treating an attack on a first-time author whose self-published book has been branded anti-Muslim as a possible hate crime.
Raised Islamic, Paris Dipersico, 24, reported being dragged from his bicycle Aug. 17, tied up among trees, then beaten briefly unconscious by two Muslim men.
Accused of being gay, they then “called me a Jew in Arabic and said the Jews are paying you to write this against Islam,” the author of Wake Up Call said Thursday.
Dipersico said he also received a “death threat” on his Facebook site, then someone stole files and backup writing discs after breaking into the home he shares with cousin Gabrielle Dipersico — who helped design the book and whose photo is on the cover.
Believing the threat came “from the Middle East,” he said it demanded he remove offensive language.
After treatment for cuts and bruises, Dipersico said on his publisher’s advice, “I’m taking out some of the graphically sexual stuff,” but not the rest.

The one fortunate aspect of this situation is that it took place in Canada. Had it occurred south of their border, we can be assured that DHS Chief Clown Napolitano would be putting out an all-points bulletin, seeking violent baseball bat wielding soccer mom tea partiers.

Don’t remove anything from the book! It is now getting publicity and people will buy it to see what was so awful to the demonic muslims that made them beat him up.

Those peace loving Moslems! Gotta love them!

I want an original copy.
Don’t cave to these barbarians, the truth is too important. Their actions verify the contents of the book.

So that’s what Middle Eastern women look like without the Holloween costume. Nice. But then I’ve always been sucker for raven haired cuties. (*grin*)

Once again, the terrorists win!!!
Joanne commented:
Just a couple peaceful muslims getting their exercise. I don’t think taking out the sex stuff in a book is going to appease muslims. We need to kick them all out – they all hate America anyhow and said that she deserved 9/11. My moment of clarity was when Canadian muslims – all that I heard and others heard had no compassion for the people who died on 9/11 and said that they deserved it. Disturbing. Who wants to live amongst people who think like that.
Charlie commented:
If Paris could somehow tie the attackers to Sara Palin the MSM would have certified this incident as a hate crime already.
HadEnough commented:
As a “possible” hate crime……….hello….time to wake the F*CK up!!!
lyle commented:
Does anyone else feel that there’s something incomplete about this story?
For example, he’s a first-time author with a self-published book — who refers to taking advice from his publisher — meaning himself.
Nearly everything about the incident seems designed for media attention, from the gorgeous cousin to the gay allegations to the book’s allegedly objectionable sexual content. But wait… two guys tied him to a tree and beat him senseless and all he got were ‘cuts and bruises’?
Red flags everywhere.

It’s Canukistan. No one will be tried for a “hate crime”. Although, the author may be tried for hate speech like Mark Steyn.
Jesusland commented:
But Leftists who mock and denigrate Christianity are the “courageous” ones.

the religion of peace. how do i know? the star-ledger told me so.
Studious Citizen commented:
Don’t change a single thing! If Muslims can’t handle free speech, they can go live under tyrannical Islam.
Militant Conservative commented:
One more reason to carry a gun. Oops its canada, ya cant even carry a pocket knife.
powder is dry
David In Tucson commented:
Owning a gun would have prevented that … fact!
Canada is so backward and politically correct.
Shoot those bastards
Ipso Facto commented:
You have to ask yourself why the Muslims are so fragile that they can’t even endure written criticism? How is it that these people are always so outraged and driven to violence by the mere thought of someone who doesn’t worship God exactly as they do?
As we see the uprisings of the Arab Spring, it occurs to me that maybe these people have been so humiliated by their Kings and Tyrants and Sheiks and all of the various types of “leaders” who have treated them like dirt over the years that they are just over flowing with anger. Maybe they are just tired of kissing the feet of their rulers and kowtowing to all of their relatives and cronies. Maybe once a few tyrants and kings have been removed from power, and many more Muslims have some say in their own lives, they won’t be so hyper-sensitive and fragile?

Actually it’s quite simple. They suffer the same problem that utopian libtards do. All their lives they’ve been taught that their religion is THE religion. So that makes them TEH CHOSEN ONES. Except as they look around, particularly in today’s information age, and see that Western Civ (and capitalism in the case of libtards) gives a much richer life to The Others in terms of quality of life they get highly frustrated and then extremely angry. THEY were supposed to be the superior ones. God (Marx, Gaia, etc.) was supposed to set them above all others. Yet the more they practice their religion, the worse things get for them.
Then comes the inevitable conclusion – The Others have STOLEN the good life away (from Teh Chosen Ones). There is then only one thing to do – kill The Others and take back what is ‘rightfully’ theirs. In both cases the failure is in their incompetent culture based on erroneous rules/beliefs. Because it’s a religion there is no way to use facts to unhook them from their erroneous thinking. Some few will have an epiphany. The rest will always be a threat to The Others in political and more murderous terms. Obamanomics. Islam. QED.

When I first read the words ‘may be charged with a hate crime’ in the article, I wasn’t sure whom they meant, the attackers or the writer.
Ginger commented:
They are full of rage because they do not know who their father is. They don’t know if their mother is their sister, aunt, cousin, or grandma. Their brother could be their cousin or uncle. Or maybe they are part goat! (sarc)
Maybe this is what the guy wrote in his book! Muslims are victims of their leaders as blacks are. They have been taught hate from the day they were born. So sad!
Orian commented:
I’m gonna have to call scam on this one.
DanO commented:
#24 Orian,
I’m with you, but the scam worked. I am still staring at that cousin.
Nobody’s askin’ but here is a tip about middle eastern women from my experiences with them in the Detroit/Dearborn area:
The difference between a “cousin Gabrielle” and a Kim Kardashian is that a Gabrielle can cook fantastic middle eastern recipes and probably clean and keep house like Alice from The Brady Bunch. But if you slap her, cheat on her, or stop providing for her, her brothers will slit your throat in front of the stripper you passed out under at the coyote bar.
DanO commented:
…and if you think that stripper will say anything helpful to the police, forget it – those brothers are paying her way thru college!
Fuquay Steve commented:
Muslim on muslim crime – kinda like oh, never mind.
Patty commented:
Find them and hang and beat them to a tree! Please!

Why didn’t anybody come stop this attack?????
Are all the Canadian’s pussy’s…….

Repeat after me, everybody: Islam is a religion of peace. Islam is a religion of peace. Islam is a…
(no, I don’t believe it either)
Sceptess commented:
He looks pretty healthy to me for somebody who was beat up by two guys. I have to conclude that he’s going for some free publicity, trying to manipulate legitimate fears, and bearing false witness, not to mention playing with fire.
CAROL O'BEIRNE commented:
Who said we are lazy , spoiled AMERICANS? you guys are informed , you ROCK.
billyrumble commented:
This is more than a hate crime, it’s a message. The message is, “Don’t let people into your society that don’t share your values and want to kill you because of them.”
Keith Norton commented:
Under Canadian law, the author may be the one guilty of a hate crime. Just look at what happened to Mark Steyn and his publisher over articles deemed insensitive to Islam. That said, however, I too am skeptical of this being self promotion. I have read several articles about this case and none describe how he was found or escaped his bonds and in all the photos he looks pretty healthy. Has any cleric issued a fatwa yet?
