I know Salim quite well, as he was one of the early members of SAFS (www.safs.ca), which aroused the ire of the Canadian loony left (or, in Lenin's terms, "useful idiots"). This is the first time I have read his background, and perhaps the similarity between his escape from the totalitarian regime and mine thanks to my parents in 1949 from Uncle Joe's workers' paradise account for our rejection of the current left that does not sufficiently value the importance of individual freedom that the enlightenment has given to at least some countries in the world
