A Canadian Muslim politician said she no longer will write for a Muslim newspaper that accused Jews of faking the Holocaust and planning the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

Mobina Jaffer, a senator in British Columbia, also is a columnist for The Miracle weekly newspaper, but she said an article blaming Jews for causing World Wars I and II, the Great Depression, pedophilia, organized crime, racial mixing and Sept. 11, among other things, "made me sick."

The Canadian Jewish Congress has asked the provincial government to investigate the article, by the American author Edgar Steele. Jaffer has been working to form ties between Jewish and Arab "Palestinian" women.
