I havnt found out yet why the canadians rejected the canadian citizenship for him, and what could be meant by 'terrorist' ( a well abused term these days )

No reason has ever been given why Ernst's Canadian citizenship was rejected, however it is obvious to me that Jewish lobby groups pressured the government to reject citizenship.
History of events surrounding Zundel's deportation
http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/zundel/
The evidence against Zundel (assuming there actually is evidence) has been kept secret from even Zundel himself and his laywer, so he had no way to defend himself against the charges which were also kept secret other than a general description that Zundel was a threat to national security, whatever that means.
Justice Pierre Blais was the judge hearing the case. He was a former CSIS boss of all things! CSIS is Canada's spy agency, and Blais actually oversaw the spying done on Zundel when he used to live in Canada, so you can get a clear picture of how bogus the court case was. It truely was a model kangaroo court.
After deciding to deport Zundel to Germany, Blais gave the following reasons:
a) Zundel is a threat to Canada's national security because of his involvement with white supremist organizations, and b) that Zundel is a threat the the "international community of nations" with no reason specified, so we assume it is for the same reason as in (a).
It is clear that Zundel was not deported to Germany because he violated German law, at least no such reason was given, but then again it could be one of the secret reasons.
What puzzle's me, is that "National Security" means the security of the nation, so to say that Zundel is a threat to the stability or perhaps existence of the nation is amazing to say the least. Assuming Zundel really is the threat the government claims he is, then things must be REALLY unstable here in Canada, with groups of foaming white supremists everywhere plotting to make trouble and hailing Zundel as their secret leader.
I thought we had to worry only about super secret al Qaeda terrorist cells, so do we now we have to also worry about super secret white supremist terrorist cells? The whole terrorist thing has become something of a perverse joke.
I think I have a good enough idea of what is really going on, but I'd rather not get into it in here.
The concern I have is that the Canadian government may go after anyone in a similar fashion, and it could be done for any reason at all.
I was wondering what the situation is like in Germany? Do people feel afraid to speak freely? Is Zundel's arrival in Germany making the news or is it being buried? That sort of thing.
