Because Arabic lessons aren't enough. He plainly wants his family to be able to watch TV from his own country, his own culture and his own religion, instead of what he quite fairly believes to be TV that does not suit his cultural requirements; do you really have a problem with that? Why is it that watching television from the Middle East is synonymous with watching Islamic extremist incitement in some peoples' minds?

Btw, if my crude grasp of the Canadian justice system is correct wouldn't it be the defending barrister asking those questions rather than the judge.

No judge, no offciial court of law at all really. And we don't use that barrister soliciter split at all (or the wigs). Just the human rights commssion. Although it is like a trial it was held in a room in the student union building of Dalhousie university. 3 days of testimony and such then the board of inquiries chair a local lawyer is deliberating until September.
