Oh darn, I just glanced at the header for that site before I posted it. I thought it was a radio or television site. Doesn't look like it under closer inspection.

Oh well, doesn't mean it's not true, but here's the Mainstream version from Globe and Mail:

Ottawa school choir sings traditional Arabic song, attracts worldwide attention

"An Ottawa school choir’s song billed on social media as a welcome to Syrian refugees coming to Canada has garnered widespread attention including praise from the Prime Minister.

The song was under the title “Welcome to Canada Syrian Refugees.”



According to the YouTube post, it was a historical song that was sung to the Prophet Muhammad when he sought refuge from Mecca to Medina.

The song, performed by students from De La Salle secondary school, 11 Ottawa-area elementary schools and a Kingston elementary school, had been viewed nearly 700,000 times since it was posted Dec. 11, including by Justin Trudeau.

“WATCH: Ottawa high school students sing a traditional Arabic welcome song. Well done De La Salle,” Trudeau tweeted on Sunday.

Choir director Robert Filion said the song was an attempt at fostering diversity and cultural inclusion and was not originally meant as a welcome for Syrian refugees – more than 300 of whom have arrived by Canadian government planes since Friday.

The video post has also received widespread Canadian media attention and was even picked up by a Turkish news agency.

“It’s very surprising,” said Filion about all the attention the song has received since it was posted on Friday.

“This has taken on a life of its own,” he said. “We’re really happy that’s going on.”

Filion hasn’t had a chance to hear from the students about what they think of all the media and online attention, but he expects to.

“I can just imagine what it is going to be like [Monday]," he said."

People who have seen my post history know that I am neither left nor right and I actually agree with the left pretty often.

Stuff like this reminds me of why I am not a leftist and I never will be.

The single biggest problem with the left is the "cultural relativism" lie. Let's be honest: Western Culture is superior to all other cultures. We invented nearly everything. Our way of life is superior. Our traditions are the best.

Prepare to be called a racist by our resident progtards who tolerate everything but a deviance from strict adherence to their dogma.

The real racists are the people who don't understand that race and culture are distinct.

Race is something you are born with. Culture is a choice. Culture is how we choose to live our lives.
