Hello,

Your request to join the MuslimCanadianCongress group was not approved.The moderator of each Yahoo! group chooses whether to restrict membership in the group. Moderators who choose to restrict membership also choose whom to admit.

Did I expect otherwise from Tarek Fattah, the listserv moderator? No, not really.

Dude, I thought you guys were about aversion to joy. From the MCC website:

The Muslim Canadian Congress is a grassroots organization that provides a voice to Muslims who are not represented by existing organizations; organizations that are either sectarian or ethnocentric, largely authoritarian, and influenced by a fear of modernity and an aversion to joy.
