In September 2010 , CAF President Khaled Mouammar released a statement ( which was later published by Al-Jazeerah ) , calling for " all Arab and Muslim Missions at the United Nations to vote against Canada 's bid to have a seat at the UN Security Council . " Mouammar stated that " The evidence has been accumulating about the anti-Arab and anti-Islamic Canadian government of Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper to the extent it is feared that if Canada gains a seat in the UN Security Council , it may be used against Arabs and Muslims around the world . " Mouammar concluded by stating " granting Canada a seat on the UN Security Council would be tantamount to rewarding Canada for discriminating against Arab and Muslim Canadians , and for its unconditional and blatant support for Israel ’s war crimes and violations of international law . " In addition , Mouammar also circulated an email which linked to an article in '' The Tyee '' by author Murray Dobbin , which accused Canada , among other things , of working closely with Colombia , which is " virtually a U.S. military base , " and that Canadian rescue efforts in Haiti following the 2010 Haiti earthquake are in fact a " neo-colonial effort . " Matt Gurney , writing in the '' National Post '' , criticised the CAF endorsing Dobbin 's " anti-Canadian position " and wrote that " Dobbin ’s anti-Canadian views are music to their the CAF 's ears . " B'nai Brith Canada also criticized Mouammar , stating that " Despite purporting to be advocates of Canadian values , the Canadian Arab Federation actively lobbied against their country thereby attempting to shame and divide Canada .
