(NEWS) Canadian Charged With Hate Crimes

"A Canadian man who has called for the 'extermination' of Jews in Canada has been charged under a rarely used hate crimes law.

Salman Hossain, 25, accused of 'willfully promoting and advocating genocide of the Jewish community,' was charged Thursday afternoon by Ontario Provincial Police following an investigation into his website and blog, which feature hundreds of racist comments. Authorities also looked at his racist posts on other websites.

Hossain was charged with three counts of willfully promoting hatred against an identifiable group and two counts of advocating and promoting genocide against an identifiable group, according to police.

It is the first time an advocating genocide charge has been prosecuted in Canada, according to the National Post."
