Poignant for Ramadan

We have been on the Blood Libel Mastercard story for a month now. Yet here is the only mention of the RS Foundation to be found in the mainstream media until about 22 hours ago.

It is a puff piece, the standard MSM boilerplate on Muslim charities.

We told them. They did not want to listen. And, as of now, they still aren't listening.

In Montreal, various volunteer groups rolled up their sleeves to participate in flood relief efforts, particularly poignant during Ramadan, a month when Muslims aim to offer good deeds and charity.

The RS Foundation, which aims to eradicate poverty, provided contributions.

"Every year we have a dinner during Ramadan, and this year, we'll be donating a major portion of what we collect to flood relief in Pakistan," said RS Foundation volunteer Shujaat Wasty.

Volunteer... Truther... It's all the same to CTV.

Exit observation: So far, this same puff piece is the only time Shujaat Wasty's name appears in any news source searched by Google News. He is still the Director of the RS Foundation, he still blamed Israel for 9/11 and Mastercard is still happy to do business with him.

Whatever happens next won't be down to the Fifth Estate.
