Now the National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM) is suing the Canadian Prime Minister for daring to suggest they have ties to Hamas, which styles itself “the Muslim Brotherhood for Palestine.”
“Current NCCM / CAIR-CAN Director Khadija Haffajee was on the Editorial advisory board of a magazine hailing the Muslim Brotherhood founder Hassan al-Banna as ‘a True Guide,'” from Point de Bascule, February 7 (thanks to Marc):
Hassan al-Banna was described as a role model by three senior directors of the NCCM / CAIR-CAN
When CAIR-CAN became the National Council of Canadian Muslims, it presented itself as “a leading voice that enriches Canadian society through Muslim civic engagement and the promotion of human rights.”
This description is misleading given the fact that many of the leaders of the NCCM / CAIR-CAN (past and present) have collaborated with organizations in Canada and abroad whose track records are incompatible with human rights. Although the NCCM / CAIR-CAN Executive Director Ihsaan Gardee claimed in a CBC interview that his organization has never had any relationship with the Washington-based Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), documents issued by his own organization prove otherwise.
In the context of the NCCM’s recent defamation suit against the PMO for having linked the NCCM to Hamas, discussing the relationship between Washington-based CAIR and the NCCM / CAIR-CAN is all the more relevant given the fact that in a 2009 American case, a federal judge concluded that “The [U.S.] government has produced ample evidence to establish the associations of CAIR, ISNA [and other organizations] with Hamas.”
The NCCM / CAIR-CAN’s claim that it is committed to human rights can also be challenged by looking at the ideologues endorsed by the leaders of this organization over the years. Given the fact that important leaders of the NCCM / CAIR-CAN have openly endorsed ideologues whose goal is to establish a totalitarian society based on sharia, this organization must be considered a threat to human rights and definitely not a source of enrichment for Canadian society.
One such totalitarian ideologue who has been endorsed by prominent NCCM / CAIR-CAN directors is Hassan al-Banna, the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood. Al-Banna advocated the establishment of a society based on sharia and in his essay To what do we invite humanity?, he praised Hitler as a role model for Muslims looking for “success, influence and fortune.” As a matter of fact, when the New York Times announced Hassan al-Banna’s death in 1949, it highlighted that his organization, the Muslim Brotherhood, had become a movement “with mystic and fascist overtones.”
Hassan al-Banna was openly endorsed by at least three senior NCCM / CAIR-CAN directors. In 1999, before the incorporation of CAIR-CAN, current NCCM director Khadija Haffajee was on the Editorial advisory board of Islamic Horizons when the magazine hailed Hassan al-Banna as “a True Guide.”
In 2004, while he was on CAIR-CAN’s Board, Jamal Badawi described al-Banna as “most inspirational.” Badawi added that “More than any other individual he [al-Banna] has epitomised twentieth century Islamic thought and ideology.”
In 2012, while he was a CAIR-CAN director, Wael Haddara was also the president of the Muslim Association of Canada (MAC). MAC’s website proclaimed back then that “MAC’s […] modern roots can be traced to the Islamic revival of the early twentieth century, culminating in the movement of the Muslim Brotherhood. […] MAC adopts and strives to implement Islam […] as understood in its contemporary context by the late Imam, Hassan Albanna, the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood. MAC regards this ideology as the best representation of Islam as delivered by Prophet Muhammad.” The same mission statement was already posted on MAC’s website in 2005 when Jamal Badawi and Wael Haddara were both MAC directors and CAIR-CAN directors.
According to the Global Muslim Brotherhood Daily Watch, “The Muslim Association of Canada (MAC) appears to be one of the only organizations in the world that has acknowledged its ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.”
Wael Haddara resigned his position on CAIR-CAN’s Board of Directors in April 2012. On December 12, 2012, MAC issued a press release announcing Haddara’s resignation as president of the organization for “personal reasons.” On December 28, 2012, Wael Haddara was identified in an official United Nations document as a member of the Egyptian delegation at the UN. He had become a close advisor to now deposed Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood President Mohamed Morsi. Haddara had just been promoted from the Muslim Brotherhood infrastructure in Canada to the original one in Egypt. This was the logical outcome of Wael Haddara’s involvement with CAIR-CAN and the Muslim Association of Canada.
Khadija Haffajee
CAIR-CAN was incorporated in 2000. When Khadija Haffajee joined its Board of Directors (either in 2000 or 2001), she was already on the Majlis al-Shura of the Islamic Society of North America, ISNA’s decision-making body. Khadija Haffajee was first elected as an ISNA’s administrator in 1997 and re-elected in 2001 and 2004. As a member of ISNA’s leadership, she was on the Editorial advisory Board of Islamic Horizons. ISNA refers to its own publication as “ISNA’s flagship bi-monthly magazine.”
Khadija Haffajee and another current NCCM director, Shahina Siddiqui, have presented their autobiographies in a book entitled Muslim Women Activists in North America: Speaking for Ourselves. It was edited by Katherine Bullock and released in 2005. As this article is being published, the portion of the book concerning Haffajee is still available on Google Books.
ISNA was established in 1982 by the Muslim Brotherhood leadership in North America in order to mobilize and radicalize Muslims outside of college and university campuses. The Muslim Students Association (MSA) had already been established in 1963 to target Muslim students. In the 2009 American legal case referred to previously, the judge remarked that a Muslim Brotherhood document produced as Exhibit 3-64 by the U.S. government “further ties ISNA to the Muslim Brotherhood by listing it as an ‘apparatus’ of the Brotherhood.”
ISNA is number 1 and MSA number 2 in a listing of 29 organizations affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood network in North America that was added to an internal memorandum written by an MB leader in 1991. In this memorandum, the goal pursued by the Muslim Brotherhood in North America is clearly presented:
POINT 4 The Ikhwan (Muslim Brotherhood) must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and “sabotaging” its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions… It is a Muslim’s destiny to perform Jihad and work wherever he is and wherever he lands until the final hour comes.”
This memorandum was made public after it was seized by police and produced for evidentiary purposes in a 2008 trial that led to the conviction of all accused in a terror financing case. This excerpt was also quoted in the 2009 American legal case referred to earlier.
In July 2013, the ISNA Development Foundation’s charitable status was revoked by the Canada Revenue Agency because it provided tax receipts for donations made to a non-status organization that was funding a jihadist organization in India. At the time, ISNA’s leaders claimed that “There has been no links of authority or responsibility between the United States and Canadian organizations for a few decades, despite the similarity of names.” When the charity status revocation occurred in July 2013, at least two administrators of ISNA-Canada (Mohamed Bekkari and Khalid Tarabain) were on the U.S.-based ISNA’s Board (ISNA’s Board in June 2013 – ISNA’s Board in August 2013).
Hassan al-Banna’s 50-point Manifesto
One of the articles praising Hassan al-Banna in the March-April 1999 edition of Islamic Horizons highlighted an important proposal of his totalitarian program: getting rid of all political parties and replacing them by a one-party state (“He [al-Banna] called for mediation between [political] parties and even for their dissolution so they could emerge as a single entity serving according to the guidance of Islam.”)
This one-party state proposal is the first one in Hassan al-Banna’s 50-point Manifesto. According to Ikhwanweb, the Muslim Brotherhood’s website, the Manifesto was part of a letter sent by Hassan al-Banna to many Muslim leaders in 1947, including the king and the prime minister of Egypt. It contains fifty proposals for a systematic implementation of sharia. They are grouped in three categories (1. Political, judicial and administrative; 2. Social and educational; 3. Economic). The 50-point Manifesto is available on Point de Bascule.
Here are some of the proposals advocated by Hassan al-Banna and those who revere him as their “True Guide”:…
There is much more. Read it all.

Wellington says
More taqiyya, more rubbish, more parasitical behavior from yet another Muslim group in the still clueless West. Same old same old.
God, how I despise Islam. I despise nothing more. Anyone who cherishes freedom must despise Islam. Those trying to reconcile freedom with Islam are fools at best, deceivers at worst.
Salah says
“God, how I despise Islam. I despise nothing more.”
I do. Our political correctness.
I long for a great leader like the one who called the Qur’an by its real name: An Accursed Book.

mortimer says
The Koran…a book of intentional lies, a hoax, a crafty deception, devious trickery, a not-very-clever connivance, a put-up job, the caliphs’ little game, a flim-flam, a con, a swindle.
Davegreybeard says
Aye Wellington, I share your frustration at our willfully ignorant countrymen. And I, like you wonder if they will awaken in time to prevent the looming catastrophe.
The younger generation has been taught lies from preschool to University. The pop culture reinforces these lies, and the eneMedia parrots them 24/7.
We, who speak the truth, face daunting odds, all to our disfavor.
Yet Islam has faced such uneven odds a various times in history, and still, here we are, faced with the same old dragon that our forefathers failed to slay.
So where is the Knighthood of free men today, who will champion the morals of Jesus Christ and beat back the barbarians that seek to destroy us?
Is it just we few?
JimJFox says
As an atheist I too despise Islam. BUT, playing the Christian card actually gives muslims ammunition- they LOVE moral relativism, comparing the Crusades with Islam’s slaughter of hundreds of millions since the 7th century. There is NO comparison, of course but many are fooled by it.
And, to be truthful, Christianity has murdered many and fought wars over ‘belief’ so they do have a point: the Old Testament IS violent and bloodthirsty.
Europe is all but gone, it is a matter of time. You in the USA will, I fear need a civil war, a mass uprising to drive out Islam. The resultant chaos and death will be massive but as you are the only western democracy in which the citizenry is armed (apart from Switzerland?) you may be the only nation to survive.
Otherwise all I see is an all -out war of survival, initiated perhaps by Israel against Iran/hamas/al Quaeda etc. The sole bright spot is Egypt and the (hoped-for) defeat of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Richard Kedzior says
To be truthful, atheists have murdered more people than Muslims. The French Revolution , the gulags, the concentration camps, abortion, Mao, Stalin, and so on – just to name a few. So please stop with the fallacy of false equivocation. Atheists aid and abet Islam with this kind of fallacious reasoning.
Wellington says
I still remain optimistic long term, Davegreybeard, but short and mid-term Islam will still have the advantage. As I’ve noted before, we’re in a new Hundred Years War. Evenutally, I see no way that such an oppressive and bankrupt spiritual ideology like Islam will prevail over the Judeo-Christian ethic, liberty, a true Golden Rule, equality under the law and other good things like these, but it’s going to be a bloody time of it till Islam is finally put on the trash heap of history. The main culprit here in this postponement is ironically (and frustratingly) not Islam itself but rather ignorance of Islam.

@Wellington now we are on th eside for th erifgt again Islam lol we have to show no pity no mercy in coutrary we are weak we are sinner an dthey need to purifaicate our blood returning to eard by beheading!we shoote first long time ago at Poitiers where Carolus martell stopped th emuzz cav! ggod luck!
Sovereign Man says
Besides SUN Media (who reaches only a tiny percentage of the population thanks to anti-competitive regulations and the disinterest of the citizenry), no other media organization in Canada will cover any of this, except to bash PM Harper and back the jihadists.
The Canadian people, on the whole, are a brainwashed bunch of uninformed fools. I personally have never met a Canadian born person who knows the first thing about Islam or jihad, and, I am not kidding, I have met several who have never even HEARD of Islam!
Our education system is the ultimate sheep factory, and the media is the most political and biased bunch of traitorous scum on the planet. The only thing that seems to interest the population is hockey, a sport where an IQ over 30 is a detriment.
The Conservative government, with the exception of PM Stephen Harper, Jason Kenney, and a few select others, is full of frauds and appeasers. They were only able to gain power thanks to the complete incompetence and blatant corruption of the other parties, but they do not represent the political views of the vast majority of Canadian people.
Little correction... says
In fact, Sun Media is Canada’s largest media company, and it reaches millions of people with newspapers and websites. Of course it’s TV station Sun News Network has trouble getting the audience for various reasons, but it also reaches hunderd of thousands of people in online.
In addition to Fox News, Sun Media has the best coverage of Islam and terrorism. Too bad that American newspapers are afraid to deal with Islam as openly as the Sun newspapers in Canada.
Sovereign Man says
I watch Sun News regularly, and it is excellent. As far as I know, viewership is around the 30,000 mark, at prime-time!
It may depend on the part of the country, but where I am at, very few read newspapers (or anything for that matter) and of those that read the SUN, it is only for the sports section.
Little correction... says
Oh by the way, 54 per cent of Canadians held an unfavourable view of Islam. In other words, Canadians are more critical of Islam than the Americans of which only 38 per cent view Islam unfavorably.
Sovereign Man says
I hadn’t heard those poll numbers, it is slightly encouraging.
However, I am positive that the majority of those who do hold an unfavorable view of Islam know next to nothing about it, and many probably also hold unfavorable views of Christianity and Judaism. Informed resistance is much more important than blind hatred.
I will say, that of the people who I know who really understand the problem of Islam, they are all immigrants who have experienced the Peaceful Religion firsthand. This includes some from Arab countries, who would tell me in private what they really thought, but would never share their views with Muslim friends.
Canadian born under-thirties, on the other hand, are totally brainwashed and clueless. Among the older folks I know, including relatives, Jew hatred is rampant.
RodSerling says
Sovereign Man,
“I personally have never met a Canadian born person who knows the first thing about Islam or jihad, and, I am not kidding, I have met several who have never even HEARD of Islam!”
Lol. Then perhaps you don’t get out much. The ignorance of Islam among the general population in Western countries is one of the major problems preventing us from dealing with that threat, but it is not nearly as bad as you suggest in Canada.
Sovereign Man says
I’m Canadian born and raised, and under thirty. Perhaps the older population has a bit of a better perspective, but you wouldn’t believe the ignorance of the under-thirties.
PJG says
Ignorant because their parents have made no effort to counter the PC garbage they get at school. People are too trusting of the education system.
mortimer says
Yes, I believe it. They were brainwashed with ‘tolerance’ every day, and to avoid asking tough questions. They have been neutered.
dumbledoresarmy says
Well, maybe it will be up to their *grandparents* to enlighten them, if they (the grandparents) go about it cleverly.
45charlie says
I’m Canadian born & raised but much older than 30. When I spent 4 years in Law school in the UK my eyes were opened wide & I was under 30. The UK is a shinning example of what political correctness can do to a country ! PM Harper called Islamatization the greatest threat to peace. The LEFT is hard at work to bring him down but they will fail.
His immigration reform saved Canada 600 million in 2012. The legit immigrants are his biggest supporters of his reforms. Go figure !
Sovereign Man says
Indeed you are right about PM Harper and the fantastic work Jason Kenney did as Immigration Minister. I was surprised to hear unequivocal support for his polices from some Arab friends of mine. They know better than most Canadians what life was like under corrupt Islamic regimes, and do not want to bring the negative aspects of their culture along.
45charlie says
SUN Media now has to be offered by all the networks. The greatest news channel in Canada. Robert is a frequent guest there . I love watching Ezra Levant rip into these Muslim clowns.
GCR says
‘ I personally have never met a Canadian born person who knows the first thing about Islam or jihad, and, I am not kidding, I have met several who have never even HEARD of Islam!’
Please do not make such broad statements. My library is quite extensive including ‘The Reliance of the Traveler”, I have worked and continuing to work in several North African countries, and believe me I am aware of the diabolical source of Islam. And I know quite a few other Canadians that are similarly aware. Maybe if you haven’t met such Canadians, you are not properly and wisely presenting Islam when you have opportunity. It takes some tact; coming on as a rant against Islam to the uninformed will only label you as a ‘kook’ to be dismissed.
It is also astounding how little the rank and file follower of Islam are ignorant of their ‘captor’. They are subservient by the power of fear. I saw a captioned interview of a prominent Egyptian Imam to made the statement that if the apostasy law did not exist, Islam would have died out in the 1st 100 years. I have had Muslims tell me they were fearful of ‘changing their religion’ after extensive discussion with them, because they could be killed.
voegelinian says
One thing I think most of us can agree on: The state of Islamo-savvy intelligence throughout the West (no single country has distinguished itself sufficiently) remains woefully inadequate to the task of protecting its various citizens.
Where I disagree with most JWers and CJists furcates into two important points:
1) I think the social, mental and emotional inertia about Islam among the majority of Westerners is due to positive factors, not negative — in both senses of those terms: there is positive intellectual content informing PC MC, it is not merely a lack of intelligence, a lack of motivation, a lack of will, a lack of morals; and
2) it stems in large part from the good values and virtues of the Graeco-Roman/Judaeo-Christian West — the virtue of self-criticism, the virtue of trying to transcend tribalism toward universalism, which includes compassion for, and genuine interest in, the Other. The problem explaining why this has gone awry is complex, but it’s almost as though the West’s wiring, somewhere along the way, got tangled up.
These two factors in turn, once one thinks about them carefully, serve to guard the heart and mind from veering off into Conspiracy Theory La-La Land (which is why I think, to my dismay, they have not been thought through with much care by most in the CJ someday to become the AIM).

Some people want the Canadian government to investigate how so many mosques and Islamic schools have been financed and built near Montreal in recent years? “Who finances the mosques in Quebec and why?” http://youtu.be/RgTlIL2oOzw
dumbledoresarmy says
Military bases. Forts. Arsenals. Safe houses.
Ex-Muslim Sam Solomon wrote a little book called “The Mosque and Its Role in Society”. Look it up. Get hold of it. Share it around. It sets it all out, step by step; how a mosque is used to further Islamisation and conquest. These things are *not* ‘places of worship’. They are allah gang HQs and forward-operating-bases.
PJG says
Muslim Brotherhood: with “mystic and fascist overtones…”
Yes, strange but true.
Fanatical, deadly, driven by insatiable ambition…but Obama loves them!
jewdog says
Calling for a one-party state and praising Hitler should exempt an organization from being anything other than a subversive political entity.
The Canadian government has been much less naive that the US government with respect to Islamic extremist organizations, but they need to take the next step and amend their immigration laws and deport them.
Joseph Edward says
We as Canadians MUST stand up to this threat otherwise Canada as a Christian nation will cease to exist as a Christian nation. Efforts must be made by every Canadian citizen to force our government to shut down the National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM) and deem it as a terror organization otherwise, we are all doomed.
mortimer says
NCCM? They are NAZIS. NCCM is no less than a crypto-fascist, SUPREMACIST organization posing as a human rights defender.
The reverse is true! NCCM plans to remove the human rights of all ‘others’ once they achieve any power. Their goal is Islamic supremacism and they are ready to wait even 100 years to achieve it. They are FANATICAL and full of hate. The hate drives them.
Samira Tamer says
When will this administration get it? They have put the world in danger, and refuse to listen to the truth. Ideology is dangerous!

Deport the lot of them!
