“The love of justice in most men is simply the fear of suffering injustice.” – La Rochefoucauld
A CBC Calgary headline reads: “Calgary among 6 Canadian cities to sign charter against Islamophobia.” As a Canadian, I am concerned that this same charter will inevitably be used to silence all criticism of Islam the religion for its imperialistic narrative, and to indict Canadian citizens for defending their Canadian heritage and traditions against the goal of “political Islam,” which is to transmogrify the Canadian identity altogether.
Let’s be honest, the purpose of this charter is not to negate “Islamophobia,” but rather to censor any criticism, honest or otherwise, of Islam the religion and its connection to those Muslims who have “hijacked” Islam from its as-yet unrealized peaceful coexistence with other religions. The so-called “scourge” of Islamophobia is nothing more than the rational and prudent concerns of non-Muslim citizens for their personal safety and the future of their children, in the face of what seems to be an unending assault by Muslim zealots on the security of the Western world.
Kacem El Ghazzalli writes in the Huffington Post, “This ‘Islamophobia’ reaction, which is commonplace among many Western non-Muslim academics and young people who embrace tolerance and multiculturalism, stems from an implicit cultural relativism. The assumption seems to be that the behaviour and mindset of an individual are relative to her or his culture of origin, and should be judged only within that context, implying that principles like human rights may not be universal or should not be considered as such.” The myth of Islamophobia is the product of realpolitik and nothing else. The historian Simon Sebag Montefiore wrote of Stalin’s passionate belief in his many and imagined intrigues, that they were “politically necessary, which was better than mere truth.”
The only way for journalists and apologists to exculpate Islam from its egregious obtrusion into Western societies is to force the illusion upon those of us who dissent from the multiculturalist ideal, that Islam and its angry adherents have done nothing that should require exculpation. Mere truth today is taking a backseat to religiously motivated propaganda. These journalists and apologists have become imperviously dictatorial in purveying their reckless and accommodationist summations about Islamic jihad and its political activists. As Stalin put it to one of his underlings, “We ourselves will be able to determine what is true and what is not.”
My point here is not so much about the incomprehensibly foolish notion that “Islamophobia” is actually a phobia, because it’s not: our subject here is a rational and justifiable fear of Islam and Muslims because of the intolerance and behavioural anomalies most often associated with Islam and Muslims the world over. My point here is rather about, as Robert Spencer once put it, “these unrealities forced upon us,” in this case the fallacious idea that Western apprehensions about Islam and Muslims are unjustified and that we must displace these fears from our very being, whether we like it or not.
Years ago we were told that any apprehensions we felt about Islam and Muslims – whether our dislike of their anti-Jewish rhetoric or our being offended by their inciteful and shamelessly anti-Western excoriations – were nothing short of bigotry and racism — in short, Islamophobia. Today we are being told that this same Islamophobia, like Al Gore’s “global warming,” is something we must accept as fact, and that we are denied any measure of dissent.
Back on July 21, 2014, the Algemeiner published a story about the “Paris Intifada” and how “hundreds of mostly Arab and North African youths marched through the streets wielding bars and clubs while shouting, ‘Death to Israel.'” The article goes on to note how, only a week before, “an anti-Israel demonstration at Paris’s Bastille Square quickly turned violent with protesters seeking out and attacking Jewish targets and screaming ‘death to the Jews’ and ‘Hitler was right.'” Roger Cukierman, president of CRIF, an organization representative of all French Jewry, remarked during an interview with Le Monde Juif: “This new anti-Semitism can lead to the departure of all the Jews if Sharia becomes their state religion and we let ourselves be invaded by people who do not respect the government.”
Now, could this statement by the Frenchman Roger Cukierman regarding a mass departure of all Jews from France because of violent anti-Semitism be deemed “Islamophobic” according to our new Canadian “charter against Islamophobia”? Will this charter against Islamophobia inculpate Canadian citizens for voicing their concerns about personal safety and national security? If so, if we are to be found guilty of such “crimes,” then Canadians will have become the subjugated people of an Arab Muslim theocracy, our love of justice be damned.
Marcel Proust wrote, “People wish to learn to swim and at the same time to keep one foot on the ground.” Advocates of this “charter against Islamophobia” intend to prevent dissenting Canadians our one foot on the ground. We are being forcibly tossed into Justin Trudeau’s roiling ocean of “multiculturalism” – without debate, without discussion, and without our consent. Our Canadian traditions and fidelities, even our national security, are to be bowled over by the perverse Liberal Party of Canada dictate that a 7th century, imperialist religious ideology should displace and redefine those same traditions and fidelities and national security. Canada is to become (and America too, if Donald Trump is not elected) just another country on a long list of unremarkable countries raging against Jews and Judaism and the State of Israel. This government, with its Syrian refugee program, and now this charter that proscribes criticism of the religiously motivated, anti-Jewish politics these Syrian refugees bring with them, will eventually force our Jewish Canadians to leave Canada, just as the violent behaviour of those Arabs and North Africans are forcing French Jews to leave France.
Montefiore wrote, “The measure of any tyranny is its defiance of time.” So true. Today, in the year 2016, when computer technology and medical science are progressing by leaps and bounds, we are now living in a country where denouncing one’s neighbors to the civil authorities will be an everyday occurrence, just as it was in Stalin’s Soviet Union, just as it was in Hitler’s Nazi Germany. And all for the sake of a religion whose tenets command its adherents to cling malefically and obstinately to 7th century imperialist edicts, heedless of the humanistic disciplines and modernity obsolescing those same edicts. If, as we’re so often told by Western journalists and apologists, fear of Islam is irrational, then, to follow the same argument, Islam’s and the Muslim tendency to willfully forfeit the consolidating wisdom of progress and human advancement is form of insanity.

“…silence all criticism of Islam the religion for its imperialistic narrative…”
In America, for now, we can say what we wish about Islam. The above shows what happens when the Orwellian Thought Police have already exacted a toll.
Islam is a genocidal doctrine. A doctrine of Mass Murder, of oppression, and of extermination.
Once the Socialist Islam enbablers rob you of the words to describe the Muslim Enemy wins.
mortimer says
The Leftards preposterously present themselves as experts on Islam without having done the requisite reading of Islamic source texts: Koran, Sira, hadiths, canonical commentaries and Sharia law manuals. Moreover, they have not even studied Islamic history which reveals the actual behaviors of Islamic governments.
They are as ignorant about Islam as swans.
Lynne says
I am a Canadian and I find this ludicrous. Muslims can say anything they want but no one can critize them. Imans preach death to the infidels and that is okay but I won’t be able to say that I don’t believe in Sharia Law or that wearing the burka is showing oppression to women. Our democracy is being threatened. Islam should be able to stand up on it’s own but it can’t.
andra says

You bet this will happen.
As a Canadian you should get up now. As far as I know the Islamic Immigration is not yet as bad as in Europe, so it may not be to late for Canada. Look to Europe. There already exist these hate paragraphs – which base on the UN Resolution 16/18 – and people are sent to prison for critizising Islam.

Look at the kangaroo court case in Canada against Mark Steyn and Ezra Levant by the Orwellian-named “Human Rights Commission” there.
Western Canadian says
The leftist thugs and outright criminals who run those frauds, didn’t expect an effective push back, and had no idea what hit them!! The public rallied around Mark and Ezra, and supported them financially in their fight… And the truth in part one out.
Sadly, the so called (by themselves) HRC’s are nothing more or less than hard left bigots, empowered by dishonest bureaucrats to shove their shared bigotry and hatred down everyone’s throats… The honest seekers of justice who played a role in setting the commisions in place, have spoken out quite harshly at how degenerate they have become……
They are literally a threat to our remaining freedoms.
Joke: A white heterosexual male guilty of no wrongdoing, entered a HRC office.
And that is the entire joke.
Angemon says
Funny how that “logic” is never applied to the North, South or East – only West. How
are muslims faring in China? Japan? Russia? North Korea? Do they face “islamophobia” there? Are they better or worse in Canada than in muslim-majority places like Afghanistan, Iran, Sweden, Saudi Arabia or Tower Hamlets? How are ahamadi treated in Canada comparatively to, for example, Pakistan?
gravenimage says
It is because the West is sensitive to charges of unfairness, since fairness is a cherished Western value. Muslims are more than happy to misuse our virtues to undermine us.
Western Canadian says
We appear to be hit by a missive state of confusion, when we are accused of doing something very wrong (by our standards) that we are not guilty of, when the false accusation is being thrown by someone who is actually guilty of doing what they falsely accuse us of…
Cognitive dissonance, anyone??
John spielman says
This leftist muslim alliance to promote “islamophobia ” is like trying to put lipstick on a PIG it just doesn’t change anything. In the end a pig is still a pig, and islam is still a fascist death cult worshipping the lord of the flies

Michael Devolin, I hope you have mailed this article to all the Mayor’s of these Canadian cities! And maybe it would be helpful to spend a couple hundred dollars and mail the a copy if the Qur’an too. Man, this is SCARY stuff!
birchstick says
Save your stamp for the mayor of Calgary … He’s one of them
linnte says
He is a Muslim? Holy schamoles!
birchstick says
Not only that but he was voted best mayor in the world last year
Dana says
He’s not just a muslim. He happens to be a gay muslim. Ain’t that sweet?
linnte says
I got nuthin’ against Gays! What people do in bed is none of my business. But it is comforting to know that when the General Islamic Population get wind of his gayness, they will denounce him.hahahahajha! That could be the answer to Calgary’s problem with a Muslim Mayor. Let his own people destroy him like they do the world over.
Dana says
I agree. If they keep out of my face, they can do what they like. They’ll have to answer to God, the same as will for my sins.
The mayor is out front with his gayness and there hasn’t been a public peep from the other muslims. That will change if he’s still alive when the real muslim’s get stronger.
linnte says
Even the Mayor feels safe so far. I wonder where he will go when the population of Islamic people gets bigger. Orlando probably. I make a prediction; he will embezzel money from Calgary then disappear. What an awful life Muslims have to live!
Caroline says
Does our gay muslim wear a hijjab in order to not attract other man when he prays or he wear sexy tights jeans like most muslim ? Wich one use a stick to beat the wife? Lol
gravenimage says
Naheed Nenshi was grand marshal of Calgary’s gay parade one year. He is not married, but there is no reason to think that he is gay. Many straight politicians in San Francisco have taken part in the parade.
My main concern is that he will not condemn Muslim terrorism.
Dana says
“no reason to think that he is gay”
Come on. If there’s smoke, there’s fire. If it walks like a duck…
I don’t want to make this about gays because it really is unimportant in this issue, but let’s use our reasoning skills. Everything about him screams, “I be gay.” Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
Western Canadian says
If yo want to go by rumors, he was supposedly guilty of harassing women….
bridgette says
Most Canadians don’t have a clue about this until they’re arrested for speaking up against this genocidal death cult. So let me get this straight – Trudeau is just fine with taking away Canada’s free speech. Shit load of people will be arrested. Read a poll that said about 67% of Canadians don’t want anymore moslem rapefugees coming to their country. How the hell do we all stop this!!!!
linnte says
Rather despairing isn’t it?
Western Canadian says
Feel free to supply locations and dates of Canadians arrested for criticizing islam….. That is of course, if you can actually supply them. The only one I am aware of, was arrested more for acting like a drunken, shrieking idiot, and would have been given the same treatment if he was shrieking about football.
And no, I am NOT under the impression that Canadian law is evenly or fairly applied, I know for a fact it is not. And yes, shiny pony is a disgrace, with a level of intelligence slightly lower than a parrot.
In Canada, the individual who has served the longest time in jail (except perhaps for a couple of a certain class of criminal), is a harmless grandmother who holds up a pro-life protest sign, trying to encourage the victims of abortion mills to stop, think, and accept help. THAT is a Canada that shiny pony loves and seeks to expand.

The not-so-tiny majority of muslims (lowercase be upon them) are more concerned about imaginary “islamophobia” than true islamorealism.

Today I went to the post office to mail my granddaughters birthday present. And I was just about floored! There in front of me was a man helping a woman who spoke no English(she was wearing a white hat)and the man barely spoke English either. He was a Muslim as sure as the day is long. I politely asked how long had he been in my town (of 3200) and he said a year. He was helping the woman (older, fat, long skirt to the floor) mail a package to the ME! When I smiled and said “welcome to blah blah”, my smile was not returned in fact his demeanor became more coarse with a frown. It may sound paranoid, but I got the clear feeling he sensed I was on to him. Their language was clearly Arabic. There goes the neighborhood! I am going to ask my Mayor about any more refugees potentially coming into here!
Lioness says
Welcome to the new Canada. In 25 years that I have lived in this peaceful mostly Christian town, I have not seen one muslim and suddenly as of this year there are everywhere I turn. It’s just a matter of time before they build a mosque and there will be a call to prayer broadcast by loudspeakers 6 times a day. And than jihad.
linnte says
NOT in my town! Not if I have anything to say about it! Ha!

Shame on all the medias!
Christians Against Islam says
Islamophobia?
Phobia means fear. To fear Islam is a legitimate fear. It’s a pathological doctrine advocating death to those who leave Islam. Death those who refuse to pay the submission tax under Sharia Law. Death to adultery rape victims, because 4 men failed to see her raped. Death to Gays.
Death to those who criticize Islam. Death to those who criticize Mohammad. And many more!!!!
Yes, Islamophobia is a very legitimate fear, and if Canadian Government Leaders have signed a charter that it’s not legitimate to criticize The Pathology of Islamic Sharia Law, then Government Leaders are no longer representing The Charter Rights and Freedoms of Canada.
These Leaders should pack their bags together with the Muslims who would put a muzzle on Canadian Free Speech and live in the lands of the Middle East where criticism of Islam is punishable by Death
under Sharia Law.
Go you stupid, idiotic, ignorant Politicians who have never read the Koran, and Hadith to know that Muslims seek to impose Sharia Law right here in your own home towns
Caroline says
We should write an official pétition againt’s islam teaching of violence, children mariage and domestique violence. Most sourate should be consider has they are wich is a public incitation of hate. THis way : beat your wifes and kill non belivers verses of coran would be forbiden in mosque and islamic schools in Canada.
Kay says
Thank you. I wish I could get every “liberal” in the US to read your post.
bernie says
Someone recently said, “A phobia is an irrational fear. Is it phobic at this point in time, to be more concerned about Islamic extremism than, say, Catholic extremism?” (Not that Catholic extremism isn’t a problem, but globally it’s much less of one than Muslim extremsism, at least in the year 2016).

I live in Calgary. The young people here think that the mayor is the second coming. Those young people don’t pay property taxes, which have risen every year with our muzzie in charge. We are so lucky that the taxes won’t go up THIS year as an election is coming up. Our muzzie in charge is so in love with himself it is sickening. The man lives in his mommies basement. He is as arrogant as they come. Most folks over forty can’t stand the man, but the young little tulips here don’t have a clue as they still live with their parents and don’t have to worry about anything as mom and dad are paying for everything. They are the VERY LOW INFORMED people of Calgary. They get their news from FB or twitter. I am sickened that we have a muzzie for a mayor. He is bringing in more rapefugees to Calgary and there’s not a thing we can do about it. The man has never been seen with a woman and his excuse is there are more men than women in Calgary. Take your own meaning with that one. The man is despicable! If a camera is in front of him he is happiest. I guess we could have a contest as to who is more narcissistic in canada between our crayon eating leader trudeau and this Islamic pushing mayor we have in Calgary. I guess I’ll be seeing a jail soon if I keep disagreeing with this islamophobia crap. We have EVERY reason to be afraid of the muzzies taking over. THAT’S WHAT THEY DO! Our government and MSM protect the hell out of the muzzies when they beat, sexually assault, rape or intimidate Canadian citizens. I’m disgusted with our leaders as they lead us all to an early grave. I could only hope that the libtards of my country could have at least one syrian family under their Christmas tree. Those bastards can live with them. I want no part of islam and it’s death culture, but apparently our little flowers do.
blitz2b says
Calgary’s mayor, Naheed Nenshi is a gay Ismaili Muslim…. A liberal sect of Islam but still Islam.

This insanity will, of course, result in no justice except in the Islamic sense, where one is prohibited from saying anything critical of that foul creed.
