Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Canada: York University President urged to stop spread of Islamic misogynistic values on campus

Nov 18, 2016 8:42 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Pegida Canada, a grassroots organization warning of the danger of radical Islam to Canada’s values and freedoms, posted on November 15, 2016 an open letter to Mamdouh Shoukri, the President of York University in Toronto.

York University, was hailed by the Toronto Star in 2007 as one of Canada’s most diverse campuses, appointed the first Muslim, Mamdouh Shoukri, to be “the permanent head of a Canadian university.” But back in March there was another report, not quite as glowing, about the treatment of Jews on York’s “diverse campus.” Shelley Yachaev, president of the Israeli Students Union at York, stated that during her four years there, “every little part of the university has been infiltrated with anti-Semitism,” and that “some of her own professors have endorsed the Boycott, Divest and Sanctions (BDS) movement — an international Palestinian-led movement that seeks to demonize the Jewish state.”

An anti-Israel mural hangs in the Student Centre at York University, and York grad Zina Rakhamilova, now campus co-ordinator for the pro-Israel organization, Stand With Us, called York one of the “most hostile campuses” toward Jews in North America. That’s no surprise, given the aggressiveness of the Muslim Student Association at York, which promotes the Muslim Brotherhood ideology.

Now President Shoukri has been given an open letter asking that he “stop distribution of misogynistic literature in campus” and “alerting him that ‘Islam Awareness Week at York University, launched by the Muslim Student Association, is distributing some very controversial material that is not in line with our free, democratic society.’”

“York U’s President urged to stop distribution of misogynistic literature in campus”, CIJNews, November 17, 2016:

Pegida Canada, a grassroots organization warning of the danger of radical Islam to Canada’s values and freedoms, posted on November 15, 2016 an open letter to Mamdouh Shoukri, the President of York University in Toronto, alerting him that “Islam Awareness Week at York University, launched by the Muslim Student Association, is distributing some very controversial material that is not in line with our free, democratic society.”

A copy of the open letter was also sent to Deb Matthews. Deputy Premier Chair of Cabinet Minister of Advanced Education and Skills Development, and Mitzie Hunter, Ontario Minister of Education.

The following is Pegida Canada’s letter:

Dear Mr. Shoukri,

It has come to our attention that the Islam Awareness Week at York University , launched by the Muslim Student Association, is distributing some very controversial material that is not in line with our free, democratic society.

This material includes ‘The Quran’, a book that gave us great concern in it’s distribution at Dundas Square, Toronto, so much so that we wrote an open letter to the Mayor of Toronto asking for a ban on the distribution of this book. This book not only speaks of the oppression of women, but also of committing violence against those who oppose Islamic state. Following is an example of what can be found in ‘The Quran’:

Surah (chapter) Al-Maidah

Verse 33

Indeed, the penalty 262 for those who wage war 263 against Allah and His Messenger and strive upon earth [to cause] corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land. That is for them a disgrace in this world; and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment,

Footnote 262

Legal retribution.

Footnote 263

i.e., commit acts of violence and terrorism against individuals or treason and aggression against the Islamic state.

Verse 60

Say, “Shall I inform you of [what is] worse than that 271 as penalty from Allah? [It is that of] those whom Allah has cursed and with whom He became angry and made of them apes and pigs and slaves of Taghut. 272 Those are worse in position and further astray from the sound way.”

Footnote 271

Referring to the punishment the People of the Scripture (in their censure of the Muslims) claimed was deserved by them.

Reference: http://en.cijnews.com/?p=58125

‘The Quran’ is just one piece of literature that is being given out by students with the Muslim Students Association.

In 2015, the book “Women in Islam & Refutation of some Common Misconceptions,” authored by the Saudi scholar Dr. Abdul-Rahman al-Sheha was distributed during Islam Awareness Week.

Following is a quote from this book:

“Although beating of women is generally forbidden, Islam permits the beating of wives in a restricted and limited sense only as a final solution and acceptable valid reason when all else fails. This is analogous to spanking children when all else fails and they must learn a lesson in obedience for their own protection and success.”…..

    Paul Joseph Goebbels, Reich Minister of Propaganda of Nazi Germany, was right in one sense. If the truth about the nature of Islam, it’s teachings, and it’s goals is to be understood then it must be exposed on every possible level and non-stop. It is only when western politicians and mainstream media realise the truth will they then recognise the danger. That is the task for ALL non-Muslims. To fail is to see democracy, non-Muslim cultures and religions disappear from the Earth and a new Dark Age will descend upon us!

    The Western principles of human rights, democracy and freedom are now severely threatened because of tolerance of the intolerable: the infiltration of a barbaric culture that beats, stones, rapes, honour kills and subjugation of women; that still conducts beheadings and the amputation of hands; and that murders apostates, among other barbaric practices. Victims are piling up under the still too pervasive political correctness and fear of being branded “racist” and “Islamophobic.” Western leaders and the leftist mainstream media have enabled extremist Islam. A grass roots movement is required to reverse this trend.

      A good piece, Trump will extricate U.S. from the islamic mire but the ‘Merkled ‘Euro-peons’ will have to rely on ‘Islamic Chivalry’.

    Look at the damage being inflicted on innocent people in Europe. What? that women and girls may be raped on the whims of men made barbaric by a religion sanctioning such evil behavior? That blondes are advised to dye their hair black? That when little boys are sexually molested by Muslim men in Afghanistan, an act condoned by the same religion, our US military intimidates decent men by punishing an American soldier for protecting a child? — for the sake of cultural sensitivity? Has the world gone mad? Is the insane left now on the verge of calling justice and morality hate speech? It is all upside down, and the astounding part of it is that so many in this country would call me an islamophobe and racist. Well, BS to that! One does not give heed to the ravings of the psychotic. [Posted originally in relation to the absurd prosecution of Geert Wilders for hate speech in the Netherlands]

      This is not only because of PC. The elite plan is to convert the world into a version of Hunger Games where the oppressing force will be not an expensive army or police but indoctrinated fanatic muslim masses.

      Canadian troops witnessed the same abuse in Afghanistan. One was charged after he assaulted the perpetrator. I hear some are suffering PTSD from what they saw and ordered to not interfere.

    This whole situation is ironic to me. My sister went to York back in the late eighties/early nineties. At that time York’s student population was majority Jewish, and very Jew friendly. My sister told me that it was colloquially known as York Jewniversity, even by the Jews themselves.

    All it took was for them to hire a Muslim to run the show, now the place has morphed into an anti-Semitic den of terrorist extremism. Just goes to show how slimy and pervasive Islam really is. As soon as one of their believers achieves a position of power, they immediately begin the jihad process including taquiyya, brainwashing and recruiting more extremists, and a university is a perfect place to find young minds to warp.

    Now think of that on a larger scale, such as the federal government. Again, all it took was a few muzz to get their feet in the proverbial door in the government and now Canada is being run from behind the scenes at all levels of government, by Islamist extremists carrying out their jihad against the Canadian population.

      Well it’s not as openly visible here yet and maybe we may not even see it coming and that is because we are a society of political corectness, fn liberal do gooders that cry for all outsiders and blindly give everything to them and leave our own people to struggle day after day to survive. What about our homeless that sleep outside in the middle of winter, the people that rely on food banks, the people on welfare or low income and our elderly that have to pay rent, feed their family, clothe their family, give their children an education…..
      Why do these people care more about these invaders and can find billions $$$ to make them comfortable but can’t find the money do take care of our own? We are letting our politician change our laws, our social order and ways of the past to suite their needs! Of all the imigrants that have come to this country the muslims are the only ones that expect us to pull down our pants and take it up the ass. We must stand up and confront before it’s too late! We need a leader like Trump in Canada!!

      This is their modus operandi. In Britain they have infiltrated the Labour party to such an extent that we now have a Muslim Mayor of London.

      All over the country they stand for election as Labour and in some cases Conservative or even UKIP Councillors. They are pursuing an active agenda of politicisation which will put them into power.

      It will not be long before we have a Muslim Prime Minister the way things are going.

    Canada is totally infiltrated by Muslims in position of power. They are doing their duty as a Muslim in conducting stealth jihad that the clueless Westerners don’t understand – for them its all kumbaya!!

    Muslim (Brotherhood) Students Association!
    Just what every high school wants and needs!
    If you could get them to participate in the ROTC training program (as running targets for the Paintball Combat Team!) they might actually make a valid “contribution” to the whole educational experience of the other students!
    Maybe, with Dogs on the Campus, they will help clean up at the Doggie Play Park!
    Or, perhaps volunteer to work at the cafeteria (on days PORK is served) .
    Yeah, l know. I’m just trying hard to justify having them at the school at all!

    Nov 18, 2016 at 1:09 pm

    Now I’m Muslim, (and while Im from eastern Europe and not the middle east where is more extreme), I can’t believe this post made the Quran to be a negative thing – just like the bibile it has its good and bad, and picking out and choosing the negative comments is sad and leads to misconceptions. The Quran has amazing pieces about respecting women, and how a women has the right to leave her husband AND keep property if he is abusive or mistreats his wife. The Quran also talks about being forgiving and merciful, even if the worst circumstances. People are focusing on these few booths of the Muslim brotherhood – which I don’t agree with, but there overlooking all of the boots that talk about all these positive things as well. I’ve seen some pretty negstive things from catholic and christian booths in the past regarding treatment to lgbt, divorced, and other cultures in general, so please that every religion has their good bad and it depends on the indivisal, not necessarily the faith.

        Nov 19, 2016 at 5:24 pm

        Jakubovic, Do very seriously take Jenny’s good advice. Get out of Islam. Before you die, as soon as possible, start reading the Bible. Start with the book of John, the fourth book of the New Testament. If God is successful with you, you will see the Light and you will enter a new world and you will live and then in peace.

    • Susan B says

      Nov 19, 2016 at 10:09 am

      The difference is that most of the peaceful verses in your female hating killing manual have been abrogated by the more violent and evil ones. Since when are wives children??? What right does a husband have to beat any of his MULTIPLE wives if they are equal?? Jesus treated females as his equals and never called for any evil. Islam does call for the killing of those who refuse to bow down to their phony god and who refuse to follow a pedophile rapist and warlord who they dare to call a prophet. Islam murdered close to a billion people in their last quest to conquer the world as commanded in your satanic female hating Nazis books. What will the death count be this time around???? Islam is a political ideology similar to the Nazis and needs to be banned in all civilized countries. By the way if you want to see the islamic love for females look to islamic countries, where unlike you they follow the koran, and see how females are treated. They are treated worse than dogs and we all know that muslims hate man’s best friend. Islam is a cult of hate and murder and has no connection to the God of love.

    • RAB says

      Nov 19, 2016 at 3:05 pm

      Has anyone else noticed how Muslims and Islamic apologists hardly ever quote actual verses from the Koran in order to support their claims? They never inform the public of the difference between the Mecca verses and the Median verses; nor do they mention the abrogating verses. No wonder there is such profound ignorance in the general public about the true nature of Islam!

      • RAB says

        Nov 19, 2016 at 3:06 pm

        Medina verses – sorry about that. Typing too fast and too upset with all the deception going on

  11. MoWasMad says

    Nov 19, 2016 at 10:24 am

    L Jakubovic – Refusal to accept something plainly obvious to others is `denial’. Most of us here are neither ignorant nor in denial about islam, the koran, mohammad, etc.. Do you know what taquiya is? Are you in denial about this twisted ideology or simply practising taquiya?

    • LB says

      Nov 19, 2016 at 11:59 am

      He says he’s a muslim from Eastern Europe, and judging by his name I’m 99% sure he’s Bosnian. Bosnians are Slavs (Serbs and Croats, but mostly Serbs) converted to islam by Ottoman Turks during their rule in the Balkans. But a Slav is a Slav, regardless of his religion (I know this because I’m one too), which means that matriarchy and respect for their women is in their DNA.

      In other words, most practicing muslims in Bosnia are generally lax and are muslims in name only. Because of that, the majority of Bosnian youth is actually atheist and much more resembling of a Western society than their Middle Eastern “brethren”. The only “real” Bosnian muslims are old people and football hooligans / street thugs, who are driven mostly by their nationalism and hatred for Orthodox Serbs.

      So it’s no surprise that L Jakubovic defends the Quran because chances are high that he has never even read it in its entirety, nor has he got it memorized by heart. He probably knows only what others (his family) has told him about the Quran; so when you think about it, he behaves just like a leftist dhimmi — believing what others tell him about islam — except he’s a muslim himself. He and most other muslim Bosnians are an entirely different species of muslims.

    ”I can’t believe this post made the Quran to be a negative thing – just like the bibile it has its good and bad, and picking out and choosing the negative comments is sad and leads to misconceptions.”

    Oh-oh ! You’re a baaaad muslim, Jakubovic !

    The koran was written by ‘allah’, was it not, and is his immutable, never to be changed, always to be obeyed, indissoluble word, n’est ce pas ? I see a fiery lake and molten brass to drink in your future, chumbawumba ! 🙂

    By the way, there’s nothing in the New Testament about murdering those who refuse to accept Christianity.

    Mamdouh Shoukri, to be “the permanent head of a Canadian university.”

    PERMANENT HEAD?

    Is this some kind of joke? No position is “permanent”. Lousy stinking arrogant University elitist bastards.

    • billybob says

      Nov 19, 2016 at 12:25 pm

      No position is “permanent”? Haven’t you heard of “tenure”. Of course, it is startling to see that concept extended to the office of Chancellor.

    • carol says

      Nov 19, 2016 at 6:32 pm

      The sly usage of the term “permanent head” makes an offensive and increasingly familiar domineering statement. The article in The Star does use this adjective however (without even providing an explanation):

      https://www.thestar.com/news/2007/02/08/muslim_president_for_york_university.html

      Can’t these MSA’s be banned? I hate seeing them become the “brain trust” of our “institutions of higher learning”. Oil money in the wrong hands.

    I am a current York University student. I am a non-Jewish atheist and, while I do not adhere to any religious doctrine, I have to say that the aggressive tactics used by members of York’s Muslim Student Association, while proselytizing, are antagonistic and inappropriate. Publicly supported universities should be secular institutions- keeping religious matters private.
