The human rights commissioner of a Canadian province has been removed for alleged anti-Islam comments, the Daily Sabah reports on Friday.
More than two dozen Muslim groups wrote a letter on September 12 and asked Alberta Minister of Justice Tyler Shandro to fire human rights chief Collin May.
The request from the Muslim groups came after written remarks made by May in 2009 recently came to light where he said that Islam was "not a peaceful religion misused by radicals. Rather it is one of the most militaristic religions known to man."
The Muslim groups asked to meet with May to discuss the remarks but May declined all dates put forth by the Muslim groups.
The National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM) then wrote the letter to Shandro, urging the minister to get May's resignation.
