With respect to a settlement offer they have made to Maclean’s, the Canadian Islamic Congress and Naiyer Habib of British Columbia say that they have not, at any time, asked the magazine’s editors to relinquish control of the treatment of a possible rebuttal to a Mark Steyn piece published in 2006 or insisted that the possible rebuttal be a cover-page feature. The complainants say they have consistently demanded a mutually acceptable response of adequate length to the Steyn article. A story on Thursday in the National Post and an editorial on Friday did not include this position.
Further, the complainants have a few potential mediators in mind who might help them and the magazine settle on the author of a possible rebuttal. The story on Thursday did not differentiate between the two roles. Link
