Alghabra is a fool and a pitiful Member of Parliament. As I've previously stated, as of now, the man is not a threat, unless of course one believes that allowing muslims in parliament is threatening. The man is the associate critic for social development so anyone who knows anything about the Canadian parliamentary system will know that this man has virtually no power or influence on any piece of legislation.

The Tories, thankfully, are in government right now and are likely poised to stay there for a while. IF the Liberals form the government some time in the near future, and IF Alghabra is re-elected, and IF on the off-chance he becomes a cabinet minister (which I highly doubt), then we can start to worry.

But for now, the man is simply an irrelevant force and should be treated as such.
