Quebec Woman Charged With Trying to Export Assault Rifle Parts to Lebanon

MONTREAL — Young and striking in her black hijab, Mouna Diab was once active in a Quebec youth group that fought discrimination against Muslims by challenging the stereotypes that too often associate them with violence and terror.
But the outspoken 26-year-old activist had little to say this week after appearing in a Montreal courtroom to face a charge alleging she had violated a United Nations Security Council arms embargo that prohibits the export of weapons to Lebanon.
That’s some fine Religion o’ Peace™ you got there, Mohammed.
On the other hand, these are not parts for ‘assault rifles’, which are fully automatic weapons; these are for semi-automatic rifles, which are civilian sporting arms rather than military. Of course, there isn’t a lot of sport shooting going on in Lebanon, unless you include in your definition The Most Dangerous Game, so I’m sure her intent was far from innocent – these parts will work perfectly well with an M-16 receiver, which is the important part.
This whole affair has a number of puzzling parts. But it certainly illustrates that ‘journalists’ these days can’t be bothered to get the facts straight.
