Calgary police are investigating an assault on one of three women who
recently launched a human rights complaint against a local Muslim
leader.

Police are looking for two people who pushed their way into the Coral
Spring Mews N.E. home of Robina Butt about 3 p.m. Wednesday.

Const. Paban Dhaliwal said a man and a woman knocked on the door of
Butt's home, and when questioned, identified themselves as members of
the press.

When Butt opened the door, the couple forced their way into the home,
pushing Butt against the wall a number of times and producing a
weapon.

Dhaliwal said the victim did not recognize the intruders.

He said the woman was fully covered in a dark burka and was wearing
black gloves. The male suspect is described as of East Indian descent,
about 45 years old with a short moustache, five feet nine with a slim
build and wearing blue jeans, a light shirt and black jacket.

Butt's husband, Najeeb, said his wife was badly shaken by the attack,
suffering a number of cuts to her hand as well as bumps and bruises.

"There were some neighbourhood kids coming home from school who were
talking outside. We think the attackers might have thought they were
coming to our house, so they ran off," said Najeeb Butt.

Robina Butt and two other Calgary women filed a complaint with the
Canadian Human Rights Commission in late December against Syed
Soharwardy, president of the Islamic Supreme Council of Canada.

The complaint alleges they were subjected to abusive language and
threats during a Nov. 11 meeting at the Al-Madinah Calgary Islamic
Centre, where Soharwardy also serves as imam.

Soharwardy has denied all allegations in the human rights complaint.

Butt said he's convinced Wednesday's attack was not random.

Butt said the male attacker told his wife, "We come from Al-Madinah;
if you ever talk anything about Al-Madinah . . . this is the first
instalment."

When contacted by the Herald on Thursday evening, Soharwardy said no
one from the Al-Madinah Centre would be involved in such a violent
incident.

"We are law-abiding people. We had nothing to do with this. I condemn
this attack absolutely, and I urge the police to do everything to find
the people who were involved in this and bring them to justice."

Canada's present, our future?

Scarey for sure.....

Somehow I don't believe his response. People in a free society meet evil head on.

Good for them for reporting both attacks against free speech and assualt.
