Did he, or didn't he?

Apparently, a Muslim guy in Canada was elected to a government post (it doesn't say what), and some people claimed to have heard him say that it was a victory for Islam. Others (including the candidate himself AND others who did not even vote for him) deny this ever happened.

I hope that it is not true. I do not believe in mixing religion and government... Any time in history that a religious government has been established, corruption and oppression has ensued. Quickly and efficiently at that! Even if the government starts out on the right foot, eventually people become drunk with power and those lofty principles on which the nation was founded go by the wayside. Often by handing over power to their spoiled, incompetent sons. (wait a minute... that sounds familiar somehow..)

What bothers me, though, is that (with the exception of the article linked here), each and every article I found on this guy was posted on some extreme right-wing website with the absolute conviction that these accusations are true. You can practically hear them scream.. "The Moslems are coming! The Moslems are coming!"
