Canada is inching toward a broadly-based law that would codify “Islamophobia” as a hate crime without even defining Islamophobia or demonstrating that it is a phenomenon requiring legal action.
A big question to bear in mind is why the “Islamophobia” motion was “unanimously” agreed upon in Parliament. What happened to the few Conservative members present? And to the interim leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, and official opposition, Rona Ambrose? Were they, too, intimidated into submission at the expense of Canadians?
This incursion of Islamic supremacists and their allies and lapdogs peddling their wares into Canadian Parliament is a grave concern. Islamophobia is, has been and will continue to be (in the words of Abdur-Rahman Muhammad, a former Imam and member of the International institute of Islamic Thought) a “loathsome term” which is “nothing more than a thought-terminating cliche conceived in the bowels of Muslim think tanks for the purpose of beating down critics.”
Now this “Islamophobia” motion is inching toward law in Canada, the very real first step toward subjugating Canada under the Sharia and a kind of blasphemy law: anyone who articulates the truth about Islam faces legal Sharia penalties, a grave precedent with serious implications for Canada and the West.
After first passing a motion that condemns Islamophobia, last month, Iqra Khalid, a Member of Parliament (MP) from the governing Liberals, tabled Motion M-103 in the House of Commons. The motion demands that Islamophobia be treated as a crime without even bothering to define the offense.
Here is some information about Khalid, previously reported at Jihad Watch:
Last January, Khalid met with board members of Palestine House in Mississauga (near Toronto) and a “large number of members of the Palestinian community,” including Palestinian political activists. Palestine House supports the Palestinian al-Quds Intifada, and its settlement program was defunded by the former Conservative Harper government for allying itself with terrorism…..
According to the Canadian Arab newspaper Meshwar, which covered the event at Palestine House in honour of Khalid, “the purpose of the event was to strengthen the relationship between the members of the [Palestinian] community and the Liberal members of Parliament.”
That same newspaper published an article by Jordanian activist Hisham al-Habishan, who stated that the US and the “ Zionist-Masonic movement” were behind the Islamic State, with the intention of weakening the Arab region…
Also at the event for Khalid was Meshwar editor Nazih Khatatba, who once “advised al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, the military wing of Fatah movement, to change their policy and instead of uttering threats at Israel, to demand from Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian President and the leader of the PLO and Fatah movement, to re-arm them.” Khatatba openly calls for armed jihad against the state of Israel, and his position is welcomed and supported by the politics of Palestine House. Yet Iqra Khalid, a member of the Canadian Parliament, was hosted by this jihad-supporting hate organization.
It will behoove America and every Western freedom-loving state to pay attention to the decline of Canada into dhimmitude.
Sharia restricts the freedom of speech; this restriction is paramount to the supremacy of political Islam.
“Canada Inching Toward ‘Islamophobia’ Law”, by David Krayden, Daily Caller, January 26, 2017:
Canada is inching toward a broadly-based law that would codify “Islamophobia” as a hate crime without even defining Islamophobia or demonstrating that it is a phenomenon requiring legal action.
After first passing a motion that condemns Islamophobia, last month, Iqra Khalid, a Member of Parliament (MP) from the governing Liberals, tabled Motion M-103 in the House of Commons. The motion demands that Islamophobia be treated as a crime without even bothering to define the offense.
Thomas Mulcair, the leader of the leftist New Democrat Party, read the first motion in the House of Commons:
“Mr. Speaker, in a moment I will be seeking unanimous consent for an important motion based on the e-petition sponsored by the Hon. Member for Pierrefonds–Dollard that asks that we, the House of Commons, condemn all forms of Islamophobia,” Mulcair said.
Though he did not receive the unanimous consent that he craved because some official opposition Conservative MPs shouted, “Nay,” Mulcair’s motion passed. No mainstream media outlet reported this parliamentary activity; some social media blogs and private news websites discussed the motion.
Then last month, Liberal MP Khalid introduced another more comprehensive motion that “the government should recognize the need to quell the increasing public climate of hate and fear… condemn Islamophobia and all forms of systemic racism and religious discrimination and take note of House of Commons’ petition e-411 and the issues raised by it…and request that the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage undertake a study.”
Khalid recommends that Islamophobia — whatever that is — be treated as a hate crime by the federal government and that it “collect data to contextualize hate crime reports and to conduct needs assessments for impacted communities.”
This motion was tabled for debate. Khalid’s communications assistant, Anas Marwah, told The Daily Caller that they expect the motion to come up for discussion in a couple of weeks. “The motion has technically not been introduced, but just tabled; it may be up for first reading in early February,” he said.
The motion has received virtually no mention in the mainstream media…….

Please sign the petition against this:
http://www.therebel.media/freedom-to-offend-free-speech-not-sharia (petition is at the bottom of the page)
Anyone who thinks Canadians are going to take this lying down has their head up their arse. Besides this petition, the Canadian Constitution Foundation is monitoring the situation and ready to take action if this becomes a law; it’s not at the law stage yet, so let’s work to make sure this BS is stopped before it goes too far.
Also, a law such as this would violate the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and thus can be fought in court, which is what we have to prepare ourselves for if that scumbag turdeau and his goons try to mess with our freedoms.
DhimmiNot says
If “islamophobia” means the “irrational fear”, then no harm done.
However if they define the word as a “simple dislike of Islam for no obvious reason”, then they need spend time properly defining the word.
unoriginal username says
You’re allowed to have a simple dislike of islam for no obvious reason. The government doesn’t get to police people’s thoughts. You’re not allowed to do anything that would put moslems at risk of violence.
If this became law, the effect is that it would criminalize all criticism of islam, Chrisianity, and other faiths, enjoy no such protection, and shouldn’t-no belief system should.
It’s a huge concern and it’s important to speak up now.
Allan says
Indeed, it’ll be a blasphemy law, but, as you conceded tacitly, it will go even farther. Since it criminalizes aversion to Islam, it practically criminalizes infidelity.
So, what are all the brave males of Canada doing today to resist the abomination? Signing petitions? Begging rotters like the politicians not to impose the new thought crime??
Well, most “men” in Canada aren’t even doing that much—not that any man would settle for such limp wristed fecklessness. (Men would form rat patrols, kill the vermin, and let intimidation have its proper effect upon Islamists and cops who remain.) Instead, however, Canada’s “men” are busy drinking mediocre beer and deciding which hockey jersey, home or away, to put on before heading to the bar, the mall, etc.
rick says
Canada muslims have got all they want thanks to our sushi P.M Justin. 1)Justin has allowed Muslim MPs as ministers in his cabinet Omar (The Hamas lover who is going to bring in a million of palatine and other radicalized muslims into Canada and now the Emigration minister is a somali muslim he’s going to do the same) 2) muslim refugees are given first priority with full economical support against nonmuslims in fact no non muslim refugees are allowed to emigrate to Canada only muslimrefugees and more to come. 3) Schools are allowed fro muslims to use as Mosqus. more Mosques are allowed with their Imams preaching hate towards all non islamic communities everyday colleges are being funded by Sadi Arabia to promote Isalm under Isalmic studies Bull sh… 4)No go zones for nonmuslims exists but no one cares 5)muslim women can cover their face during Driving licence shots and even citizenship oath ceremony and photos we don’t know if its a man or a pervert? 6)To make it worst The Canadian government is preparing to silence anyone who criticizes Islam.bill #m103 folks lets spread the message Now Because Islam is not a Religion which promotes Peace and Harmony.We do not want our rights to oppose a cult which is going destroy basic human rights and we need the rights to teach about the wrong doings in islam to our fellow citizens And we need to tell the government what about Muslims attacking prosecuting making fun of non islamic religions ?We need to call P.M office and let him know we the Canadians oppose this move
Cheryl says
If you criminalize freedom of speech, then Democracy is gone, you can’t have both. Go figure. We have a PM that can’t do enough for Muslims, yet stands by and does nothing for Canadians. What the heck is this once great country coming to. You have to wonder what our ancestors who fought and died for this country, would say now.

Very true recently was at the rally against bill 103 as one of the folks media interviewed the whole time the group that were pro active the bill m103 spent most of there time yelling and screaming.At the peaceful protesters so much for peace Islam community says it wants God help us never met a group of uninformed ignorant people in my life As well as members of the gay community screaming and yelling welcome to the circus Robert Regina Canada

I don’t know Allan. What did American men do while Obama was kowtowing to CAIR, and also bringing in thousands of moslems, creating abominations like Dearbornistan?
So, when that little girl was raped by moslem migrants https://www.jihadwatch.org/2016/07/idaho-family-of-child-raped-by-muslim-migrants-treated-like-criminals-by-police-and-media in Idaho, did men form patrols and kill the vermin? No? Why not?
Big talk may make you feel better, but we have to consider how battles are truly fought and won in North America, in this day and age.. This motion (bill M-103) got started due to a petition. So, we will start there, bring about awareness, and then deal with it step by step, and through the courts if it comes to that. The government in this country has been challenged before in court, and lost, Most Canadians don’t even know this is going on, largely due to the fact that it has been completely ignored in the lamestream media.

Oh yeah Allan: in case you missed it, this is a LEGISLATIVE issue. We’re not talking about someone breaking into your house in the middle of the night. We fight battles in the way that is most appropriate to the issue.
Charles Martel says
I have dated Muslim women, had a dozen Muslim friends in college…and there’s no way in hell I would travel around the middle east these days, with or without an armed escort! I wouldn’t even take a free trip back to Italy! Why? I’m not RACIST…I’M A REALIST! The crusades aren’t over, Europe is being conquered by a Muslim army (just because they invaded without guns makes them no less of an army). When leaders of large groups of people say they want to wipe you off the face of the earth, rape and enslave your women, kill you if you won’t join them….and then many of their followers do those exact same things, it’s not a game of semantics anymore, it’s a question of survival!
Paul Ashley says
To the Left, any idea they disagree with is deemed to be irrational.
Brian says
No, with the left if they disagree with a fact based statement that offends there feelings on the matter its deemed to be racism,and bigoted, thats noninclusive divisive right wing hate propaganda spread by stupid white men with guns that don’t have a college degree in french literature and liberal arts. So therefore is obviously wrong and the facts backing it up are irrelevant and not considered because why bother investigating it when they already know your so wrong because they have feelings to the contray of your facts and feeling trump facts every time in the lefty Utopia…..

Islamaphobia? islamaphobia?what about Chritianaphobia?Hinduphobia?Jewsphobia?Bhudistsphobia?Sikhsphobia? Its a very well known fact that muslims do Mock & Prosecute all non muslim religions and non-muslims communities all around the world.Many people including our Politicians are ignorant about this islamic Fanatics . All religions and commutes should be protected by the Bill #m103 (which is to be passed in the Canadian Parliament Today) not only one particular community and religion. Patriotics Of Canada please Help to stop this Catastrophe now before its too late.call your local M.P and The P.M’s office and minsters ask them to stop this its not fair to give importance to one religion and community also enough allowing only Muslim refugees and not Nonmuslim refugees and emigarnts who have suffered in the hands of same Muslims who are inmajority in their countries. Help us.
Eric Vieira says
A lot of mistakes made by politicians can be “ironed out” over time. But in the case of immigration, the damage done is irreversible and will permanently change Canada and the Canadian way of life. The talk is about refugees, but in fact this is about permanent resettlement. In Europe (Sweden, Holland, Switzerland and Germany) this is becoming a real problem. Even criminal migrants cannot be sent back, and the number of no go zones is steadily increasing.
Brenda Buruma says
Thanks for this petition. Also, if you join conservative Kelly Leitch’s campaign, for 15 dollars then you can vote for her in the conservative leadership race in March. She agrees with Trump in many ways, most notably for me, his immigration policies and his stand on nationalism.
mortimer says
The Government of Canada should not impose DHIMMITUDE upon Canada. Dhimmitude means the imposition of second-class status on non-Muslims and women.
Jihad is the Islamic protocol for committing genocide. Sharia law is the Islamic protocol for ethnic cleansing through supremacism and the imposition of second class citizenship upon the host culture.
The methodology of DHIMMITUDE is to veil its underlying totalitarian goal… in common speech: ‘bait and switch’.
Dhimmitude may be defined as: A form of permanent Islamic revolution or warfare against ‘others’ and women which is prosecuted by legal means according to Sharia law.
Dhimmitude literally means ‘protection-ism’. Under Dhimmitude, people are offered ‘protection’ from persecution or death by the Islamic rulers themselves as long as the dhimmis do not resist their inferiority in any manner. Under Dhimmitude, non-Muslims and women have virtually no means to defend themselves against unjust treatment by Muslim males.
Under DHIMMITUDE, only Muslim males are first class citizens.
mortimer says
Under DHIMMITUDE, only Muslim males will be first class citizens. Under discriminatory DHIMMITUDE, there are as many as ten different classes of human worthiness depending upon one’s religious affiliation or agnosticism. The privileged Muslim males will be the males of a certain Islamic sect.
Condemning ‘all forms of Islamophobia’ will make it impossible for former Muslims to exist in Canada without fearing for their lives.
Canada is actually establishing Islam as its STATE RELIGION with this measure.

This is damned scary! Somehow, Canada seems to be further down the destructive path of islam than Europe is…
Cheryl says

David Smith says
It is evident that the clear majority of Muslims are peaceful and should not be equated with radical Islam. Islamophobia (fear of Islam) can only be addressed by clearly differentiating “Radical Islam” from “Mainstream Islam”. Differentiating and addressing the distorted beliefs and terrorist actions of Radical Islam, particularly by Muslim leaders will go a long way in alleviating everyday people’s fears.
What is needed is clear and transparent communication and not gag laws like bill #M103, that further promotes intolerance. We live in a society that values the freedom of expression. If people fear what they do not understand then the problem is not with the people but the lack of clear teaching and open dialogue.

And just when did our idiot Trudeau say Christians were the problem? Please, I’d love to know.

Katie B. says
The comment Trudeau made, was in fact made only to two people, John and Carol Arnott, and not in some speech to Canadians, the way you and other evangelicals would want us to think, and that’s a big difference. If he did say and mean it, then that’s great, but even then, it was targeted solely at Evangelical Christians, and not at all Christians. I’m sure Trudeau knows only too well the damage conservative right wing evangelical Christians are having in the US, and doesn’t want that here. The Evangelicals in the US, are a conservative right wing extremist group that thinks they have a right to interfere in politics and make laws as well, and it makes them no different than these Muslims and them wanting Shari law. Religion has no place or right to interfere in politics or to make laws in a free, democratic and secular country, got it?
The difference between us and the US, is that Trudeau had the balls to say it, make his position known, rather than waiting till they start their own movement to redirect taxes for their religious schools, or when they start lying to parents about after school programs, that are nothing more than their brand of right wing Christianity being foisted onto their young children? Better still, wait till they take away women’s rights to access abortions, or to get free birth control, or when they too try to force our government to defund abortion clinics? What about when they start demanding that creatonism be taught in schools in lieu of science, or teach our young that the earth is only 6,000 years old, and flat? Are Canadians to them have to put up with our own ridiculous Evangelical theme parks, including a metric size Ark, depicting humans and dinosaurs living together, or what, a creationist museum that contradicts everything in evolution and science that we know to be fact? Absolutely not.
Trudeau was correct in is statement to these two individuals, and understands fully well how Evangelicals operate, and just so you know, so does every other Canadian, all we need to to is pay attention and watch what goes on in the US. All religions need to reign in the crazies, the extremists, the fundamentalists, and then none of you will you have any problems getting along in our peaceful society, or getting along and playing well with other faiths. Got it?
Katie B. says
Where are these moderate and peaceful Muslims when you need them? Why aren’t they out there en masse speaking out against this? Why aren’t they protesting or demanding her resignation? They’re in the same place where they were in their own countries, cowering and hiding from the minority extremists, and running away to other countries, rather than standing to fight against them.
They even admit in polls that there are extremists and hardliners in their own communities, but do they speak out? Of course not. They’re more concerned about being ostracized then stopping this, or in stopping the violence against their own people. They come to Canada, and in no time, start creating the same problems here that they claim to be running away from, because they’re stuck in a backward, medieval and warped religion and mindset.
They are now turning a blind eye to these same problems and abuses within their own communities in Canada, by allowing the very same hate speech, anti Semitic speech, misogyny, FGM, child brides, polygamy, all the while claiming to love this country. They may claim to love Canada, but they don’t love our culture, heritage or Canadians themselves, we’re only a means to an end, a free lifestyle, even when in poverty, and they definitely don’t respect us or our laws. We’re just the next country in line for them to exploit, and turn into the very nightmare that was their own Muslim homeland.
Until they throw off the yoke of 13th century thinking, and their culture of accepted barbaric practices, nothing will change. Their culture and religion, bound in Shari law, simply isn’t compatible with our 21st century society, and their inability and lack of will to integrate into it, learn from it, will only create a further drain on the very social network and services we’ve built over the past 70 years, and the safety nets which Canadians themselves worked so hard and paid into. Our elderly live in poverty or suffer homeless, while foreigners get express services to our housing and social programs. Something is definitely wrong with this picture, and yet, somehow they’re the victims in all this, crying foul of Islamaphobia? Get real.
jim says
If we have a law which disallows us to criticize intolerant Islamic ideology then we would have to protect from criticism other terrible Ideologies such as Nazism,KKK ect
Katie B. says
We do, they’re called hate laws. This is the gist of it.
“Hate speech laws in Canada include provisions in the Criminal Code of Canada, provisions in the Human Rights Act and in other federal legislation, and statutory provisions in each of Canada’s ten provinces and three territories. The Criminal Code prohibits “hate propaganda.” The Canadian Human Rights Act prohibits discrimination on various grounds. Legislation in the provinces and territories prohibits discrimination on the same grounds as Canada’s Human Rights Act in matters of provincial or territorial concern such as employment and accommodation.”
This idiot MP probably hasn’t even read it, or doesn’t understand it, but I genuinely believe she thinks Muslims should have special consideration over everyone. They’re running out of ways to claim perpetual victimhood by the big bad world, and our supposed intolerant hateful society. She also shows just how ignorant and racist she is, because there are far more anti Semitic crimes and violence going on against Jews, than there are against Muslims, but she never gave them a single thought. As an elected official, it’s her duty and obligation to consider all Canadians, and not just those she deems worthy. This whole thing smack of racism, and probably hate speech on her part.

billybob says
The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms forms the first part of the Constitution Act, 1982. Among its protections are here is what the Charter guarantees: freedom of religion, of thought, of expression, of the press and of peaceful assembly
However, precluding all the freedoms and forming the basis of the Charter, the very first section, known as limitations clause, allows governments to justify certain infringements of Charter rights. Every case in which a court discovers a violation of the Charter would therefore require a section 1 analysis to determine if the law can still be upheld. Infringements are upheld if the purpose for the government action is to achieve what would be recognized as an urgent or important objective in a free society, and if the infringement can be “demonstrably justified.” Section 1 has thus been used to uphold laws against objectionable conduct such as hate speech (e.g., in R. v. Keegstra) and obscenity (e.g., in R. v. Butler). Section 1 also confirms that the rights listed in the Charter are guaranteed.

Berengaria says
Canada will go the way that Britain goes, & we now have an Islamic Paradise of Peace on our Northern Border.
Britain has fallen into (Serving Islam) & Canada is a step behind, with their shameful “Criminalization of Islamophobia”.
No problems of Islamophobia were EVIDENT before our own leaders started ramping up the Muslim Invasion.
THE CRIMINAL action has been committed by our LIB RULERS, not the Civilized Citizens of Western Countries.
Katie B. says
No problems with Islamaphobia were around when the previous generations of Muslims came here, worked and contributed to our society. This started when we began importing those Muslims from countries that have very little education, rigid and conservative religious societies, and those that have cultures with barbaric practices. Now that they’re here, most can’t make a success of their lives, they continue to live in poverty, live off welfare or other social programs, and feel the need to hold onto whatever they have, which is their religion, their extremist and hateful views about us and our society and culture, and their right to control and abuse their children and women. This is how it started in Britain, then they stupidly allowed Shari law into these Muslim communities, claiming its only to help settle family disputes and divorces. Instead, they’re now finding that most Muslim women in these enclaves can’t even speak English, are only educated in Muslim schools, and are never taught the proper curriculum, as a result, these women don’t even know they have rights under British law, and as such, have no one to turn to in order to escape violence . They’re still marrying cousins in Pakistani and other communities, creating genetic birth defects that are crippling their health, social and schools programs. They continue to marry child brides by lying and bringing them in as cousins instead of wives, practicing polygamy, FGM, you name it. The more closed their community are allowed to become, the more control they will have, and the less society will know of the plight of their women and children.
This should never be allowed to happen in Canada. Closed communities don’t integrate and will never adapt to Canadian values, and to compare them to places like little Italy, or little Greece or Chinatown, is ridiculous. They’re not open to the public and tourism the same way, or to allowing in police and social workers, and they definitely don’t embrace or mingle with other Canadians.

Why is it allowed in universities to demean the Jews, why aren’t there protests on the genocide of Christians in the ME? Why is everything about Muslim feelings. Why are they so special especially if you read their history? I haven’t heard of Jewish and Christian terrorists.
When there is a terrorist attack by Muslim terrorists, instead of the moderate Muslims protesting against them , ithey whine that they will be ostracized.

I have to say though that some countries in Europe do not incorporate is-lame demands in their general judicial system such as seems to be happening in Canada. The only thing you can do is support those who oppose and seek publicity by writing, posting and most importantly do not accept any islam bullshit in your own neighbourhood! Report any islam misdemeanour to the police. Godspeed ya’ll, don’t let the fascists overwhelm you with their destructiveness.

Angemon says
This is insane. How many other phobias are considered a crime? A phobia is an irrational fear people have no control over. If someone with a phobia of dogs pisses themselves when seeing a dog the law doesn’t go after them, because it’s a reaction they have no control over. If someone suffering from claustrophobia has a panic attack for being in a small room they won’t be accused of a crime. Why is it that “islamophobia” gets a different treatment than all the other phobias?
Wellington says
You make a good point, Angemon. Perhaps we should take these rubes at their word and point out that any true phobia is a medical condition and criminalizing it is simply stupid. Rather like Cogito Ergo Sum some months ago suggesting taking those who maintain criticism of Islam is racist (which of course it is not) at their word and then showing in great detail by reference to the Koran and other Islamic texts and teachings just how truly “racist” Islam is. Whatever works, eh?

Having forgotten the name of the man who posted the video and information about how the word and its usage to stop the truth becoming known, I cannot post a link.
However, it was pointed out in the video that the oic website explains exactly why they started the whole islam o phobia thing…it is to implement their awful code of unlawful conduct on everyone else.
They pretend that it is to benefit all religions, but if that was the truth of the matter, it would have a different name in the word…it would not have islam. It is to shut the mouths of those who tell the truth and war of the evil designs that moslims have for the rest of mankind (and that word includes women).
I noticed also, the guy introducing the motion has a moslim name. That is their whole purpose in gaining a spot in government…to replace the government with laws in favor of the beast of islam and to the detriment of all others..

I can “imagine” a future where Canadian children are encouraged by their schools to report wayward parents who have expressed “Islamophobic” thoughts; similar to children in the USSR ratting on parents who listened to the Voice Of America broadcasts in the 1950’s.
The communists, at least, expressed love for the motherland. the West’s “leaders” no longer care about much more than their personal wealth and status. They won’t be here to reap the toxic “Hemlock” they planted.

davej says
The nonsensical made up word “Islamophobia” should be replaced by “Blasphemy against Islam”. Maybe then the legislators could think a little more clearly.
billybob says
Absolutely! Because what impels Muslims to push for blasphemy laws by using code words such as “laws against Islamophobia” is not to stifle hate speech or prejudice. These things cause fleeting harm. Like “sticks and stones can break my bones but names can never hurt me.” These laws are to stifle free and open criticism of Islam, something that can do real and lasting damage.
Islam simply cannot thrive in an atmosphere of free and open criticism. It cannot withstand logic and reason. Once its internal contradictions and moral fallacies are exposed, it is game over. Islam will lose its moral authority over Muslims and these will abandon it in droves.
Islam in North America is already seriously threatened by free and open criticism, but has yet to bear the full brunt of it because they are protected by the Left and especially the MSM who both refuses to exercise free and open criticism. Furthermore, many Muslims are protected by language barriers and their communities.
Imagine we lived in a world where we are all young children. The majority of us still believe in Santa Claus, and can thereby be manipulated into “being good” because Santa knows who is “naughty or nice”. No kid wants to wake up to find a lump of coal in their sock because they were naughty – especially in this day and age where coal is not environmentally correct.
So the older kids already who know there is no Santa Claus enact laws to prevent critical thought on the subject, to prevent a real harm of losing control over the behaviour of the younger ones. The expression of critical thought that could contemplate the improbability of the existence of flying reindeer, etc., must be constrained, just as in the real world critical thought might reveal that winged donkeys don’t exist, or couldn’t actually fly if they did. (And as an aside, without Muhammad’s Night Flight on a winged donkey, he has no claim on Jerusalem, for one thing).

It takes some kind of Trump to dislodge the leftist airheads from power in this country before it is being turned into Canuckistan.
The Aga Khan is usually portrayed as some kind of playboy/ philanthropist in the western media, is no such thing. He runs a business empire that first and foremost spreads Islam. If you bother to read his 2006 interview with Der Spiegel you can find all the usual Islamo-supremacist traits:http://www.spiegel.de/international/spiegel/spiegel-interview-with-aga-khan-islam-is-a-faith-of-reason-a-442180.html

The Canadian Cuckservatives have no idea about islam. Even Harper endorsed Turdeau’s friend, the Aga Khan, and GAVE him our War Museum lands, tax-free, for the next 99 years, and also gave him over $30 million to build a “Tolerance Mosque” outside Toronto, because the AK is head of the “moderate” Ismaeli muslims. Cuckservative interim leader Rona Ambrose regularly panders to Turdeau in the House.
Cheryl says
Canadians are screwed, no matter who is in charge, and the blame has to lay on the Canadians, because we don’t stand up for our country, it is a simple as that. People in Canada are saying that is Trumps’ fault, that this person killed these Muslims. That is how deranged Canadians are. It is in no way Trumps’ fault it is the Canadian governments’ fault for letting people into this country, that have deranged ideologies, that don’t agree with the country they are coming into. I am Canadian and I stand by what I say! They will probably be putting me into handcuffs soon. Good luck I am almost 70 and disabled.
citycat says
There is no such thing as Islãmophobia.
Except it exists in the mind as an Islãmic weapon of war.
It is like name calling.
It is a psychological lever to disempower the perceptive quality of the minds of the infidels.
It is to prevent the truth of Islãm’s forthings being spoken, written, even thought of.
It is to obscure the awareness of Islãm’s true intention-
to rule Earth.
It is a dark light of the mind.
It may not be possible for any religion to rule Earth.
Earth doesn’t need ruling, especially by humanity-
“the most vicious animal of all”
Rikki Doxx says
Well I guess when they’ve had some mass shootings there they might think it again; best thing to do is take the guns away from Canadians who’ve a right to posses them thereby thwarting any attempt to defend oneself from Islamophobia.

Many thousands of people who fought for our Freedoms in the two world wars and paid the ultimate sacrifice are likely turning over in their graves. PM Trudope doesn’t give a damn about our history. He is only interested in kissing the butts of Muslims in order to buy VOTES.
Crimelord Canada says
I do understand the concerns expressed here but there are a couple things that the mostly US readership should be aware of.
First, Parliamentary petitions are actually fairly new, anyone can create one and they become active once you convince a member to sponsor it. It really isn’t hard to do. After that a petition must be addressed once it reaches 500 signatories. Not hard to do. I believe the petition in question received somewhere around 70,000 which is a drop in the bucket of against a population of 36 million or so.
Second, a motion in Parliament, especially this specific motion, almost always has no teeth. Parliament passed a motion that condemned BDS this past autumn, for example, but the motion itself was simply a statement, nothing more. Essentially meaningless beyond political posturing. It’s not a bill, it’s a recommendation for a committee to look into something to see if it’s a valid concern or not. This committee, if formed, is where those interested in providing input should be directing their concerns.
The motion is ridiculous, nobody who understands how things work in Canada would argue otherwise. Not a sky-is-falling moment Not even appeasement in the European style.
Even if an attempt was made it would be near impossible for an amendment to the Constitution singling out Islam for protection beyond the already robust protection of religious belief contained within. The process for this requires “To change the Constitution using the general formula, the change needs to be approved by 1) the federal Parliament, 2) the Senate, and 3) a minimum number of provincial legislatures. There must be at least seven provinces that approve the change, representing at least 50% of Canada’s population.”
Crimelord Canada says
Correction, petitions aren’t new. What is new are e-petitions which make creating and finding signatories so much easier to do than in the past.
Kelly says
Thank you for writing some common-sense as everyone on here seems to think the sky is falling. I’m a liberal person and I’m not for the M103, as I believe it’s already covered 319 of the Criminal Code. Seems redundant to me.
Jon Hammond says
This is what happens when one lives in a country like Canada made up mostly of unpatriotic wimps that would never dream of standing up for free speech when bowing to Islam like dhimmi slaves (like the Swedes) is so much easier.
If this anti-“Islamophobia” law passes, shame on you, Canada!
Will those that oppose Sharia law and Islamo-fascism have to apply to America for refugee status one day to escape Islamic State/Human Rights Commission persecution in Canada?
FYI says
Will Canada criminalise the hate-speech found in islam and in the koran?Of course not.
1)Anti-Christian and anti-Jewish hate speech
“May allah curse the Jews and the Christians”
Bukhari 1:8:427
Koran 98:6
2)Incitement to commit violent acts against Jewish people
“O muslim!There is a Jew hiding behind thee.Kill him”
Vol4 Bk 52 no 177
Imagine if such quotations were written in a bestselling book by a neo-Nazi calling for the murder of Christians and Jews.Imagine the outcry.
Dale Netherton says
Are they interested in criminalizing Infidelophbia or are they unaware it is more prevalent and just as unjust.

Canada muslims have got all they want thanks to our sushi P.M Justin. 1)Justin has allowed Muslim MPs as ministers in his cabinet Omar (The Hamas lover who is going to bring in a million of palatine and other radicalized muslims into Canada and now the Emigration minister is a somali muslim he’s going to do the same) 2) muslim refugees are given first priority with full economical support against nonmuslims in fact no non muslim refugees are allowed to emigrate to Canada only muslimrefugees and more to come. 3) Schools are allowed fro muslims to use as Mosqus. more Mosques are allowed with their Imams preaching hate towards all non islamic communities everyday colleges are being funded by Sadi Arabia to promote Isalm under Isalmic studies Bull sh… 4)No go zones for nonmuslims exists but no one cares 5)muslim women can cover their face during Driving licence shots and even citizenship oath ceremony and photos we don’t know if its a man or a pervert? 6)To make it worst The Canadian government is preparing to silence anyone who criticizes Islam.bill #m103 folks lets spread the message Now Because Islam is not a Religion which promotes Peace and Harmony.We do not want our rights to oppose a cult which is going destroy basic human rights and we need the rights to teach about the wrong doings in islam to our fellow citizens And we need to tell the government what about Muslims attacking prosecuting making fun of non islamic religions ?We need to call P.M office and let him know we the Canadians oppose this move

Canada is just a Northern Territory to be invaded by the US and broken into US States…there are no Canadians, such folk have been replaced by the invading force(s) of islam,et al., and I expect that any ‘true’ Canadians will welcome the change and restoration; Yes, I have a right to say this because my ancestors were forcibly evicted by the British at the end of the French & Indian War…I’ve lived there, seen the foreign filth intruding on everything decent…and truly, Canada was once decent but that is all lost now.

The PM obviously is intent on bringing in a few million Muslims, and this proposed law is a gift to them so they will vote consistently for him.
He is willing to let a few Canadians get raped or die for votes.

You have to wonder if his wife is segregated in the Mosque, or his young daughter is forced into marriage at say 9 years old, or say his wife is raped by a refugee he let in, what would his thoughts be then?

dumbledoresarmy says
What happens when someone is pressured by a dawa-ising Muslim to convert to Islam and they say No, they won’t, because they like Jesus better than Mohammed? Or no they won’t, because they’re an atheist and they think all religious beliefs are *not true*?? Or no they won’t, because they happen to like Buddha better than Mohammed, or because they like the Hindu gods (eg. Krishna, Vishnu) better than Mohammed? Or no they won’t, because they don’t want to join a cult that kills anyone who tries to leave.
Will the Muslim scream “Islamophobia” at them and try to drag them into court?
Will anyone who, on being dawa-ised, refuses to convert to Islam, be accused of “Islamophobia”? After all, if you reject a product, you must be assumed to like some other product better.. .which implies that the product you rejected is deemed by you to be inferior, or not to your taste.
Sheeplenomore says
This is deeply disturbing, not mentioned in the media, only those aware of Islamization are spreading the information
I went to my riding liberal MP office, no one on staff new anything about this, it took them 20 minutes to look it up. There only answer was, “It’s a Private Members Bill and they rarely get passed.” Well, with Trudeau’s rhetoric and pandering to Islam, his arrogance towards the citizens regarding his ideology of “inclusiveness, diversity” is nothing other than his determination to bring about globalization agenda and destroy Canada’s Nationalism and freedoms through Islam. I’ve never felt so scared of a PM’s abuse of power as I do with Jihadi Justin Trudeau!

Wow, who knew there were so many alt-right cheerleaders right here in Canada? Makes Trump’s lunacy a bit more understandable. But only a bit. Good grief people, get a grip. And get rid of your racism already. It’s not welcome in Canada. Or as that Trump-worshipper Kellie would say, it’s not a Canadian value. Christine Williams (or whoever the real author is), you’re irresponsible at best. This site is guilty of hate-mongering, and inciting racial discrimination. Like the incident involving the killing of 6 innocent Muslims in Quebec Sunday night. Stop leading the gullible astray. Trump and his ilk does a good enough job of that in the States already. We certainly don’t need that kind of crap here.
ed cox says
How many dead would be acceptable per month to keep the muslim invaders in Canada ? Example to follow in Germany there has been about 100 murdered in the last 6 months , does not count rapes , sexual assaults , robberies .For Canada about 15 murdered a month would be fie to keep you values .
Keith Gilbert says
There is no such thing as “an innocent muslim” for all of islam is guilty of the atrocity of their very existence among decent humans. islam is evil, the evil face of evil…nothing more! It is good that there is no ‘death penalty’ in Canada…that nice blue eyed young white man of French descent who wiped out a bunch of islamic buggers in Quebec City deserves to be freed and given a metal for his heroic beginning of what must become of islam if we, you and US, are to survive.
Dave says
The day that this bill gets passed will be the same day that, out of responsibility to the safety and well-being of my family, I will move from this country to the United States.
I had hopes of starting a business here in Canada. But, with the extremely high taxation rates, the horrible misuse of taxpayer dollars, and the total disregard for the freedoms that even I MYSELF and my FAMILY have fought for, I can no longer stay in a country where those BASIC freedoms are shoved to the gutters by liberal scum.
When in war with a racist tyrannical belief system (such as we saw with Nazi Germany), you would NEVER open wide your gates and let them into your country in trust and confidence of peaceful intention when you KNOW that they have spoken openly of its motive to take over your nation. That would be suicide!
WHY THEN DOES OUR GOVERNMENT DO THIS WITH ISLAM?!
You bunch of ignorant politicians need a history lesson on EVERY NATION that has let in this racist, hate-filled ideology called Islam. Then, research its “peaceful” effect/benefit on that society. I GUARANTEE there is NO such society that has let in massive amounts of Muslims that has not paid the price with the rape, blood, and tears of innocent civilians who fell witness to atrocities for NO reason but that Islam teaches from the Quran. PM Trudeau, YOU OFFEND ME and EVERY CANADIAN WHO WOULD STAND FOR FREEDOM, YOUR FREEDOM! WHO BOUGHT YOU OUT? Was it Saudi Arabia, the same country that has so many air-conditioned empty tents, but is unwilling to help? You and liberals like you are a traitor to your country!

As everyone knows, there are people who fought and many died to protect the freedoms we have in this country. For those who survived and are seeing what is going on, I can’t even imagine what is going through their minds. But in the name of “political correctness” this “liberal minded” government and their ways will eventually choke us to death if we don’t stand up to them. We already have laws (Charter) against discrimination, there is no need to specifically single out one faith without discrimination taking place against all the others, unless of course you’re looking to buy votes for the future at what ever the cost.
S.HOVINGTON says
The problem with my fellow Canadians, except the majority of the French Canadians, is that they can’t be bothered to read what’s in the Koran/Haddith/Sira. They’ve lulled themselves into a false sense of security by assuming that Islam is just like any other religion, full of touchy feely goodness and kumbya campfire sing alongs. If they ventured into this political doctrine of conquest, and realized that “Kafir” means non-muslims, and realized what happens to the “Kafir” when the muslim population passes the 50% mark, they might actually start asking questions. In fact, if they bothered to look up the words “Taqiyya , Jizya, Sharia, they might start to get that uneasy feeling that the rest of us have already felt. I also think if they actually did the math associated with the number of muslims already in Canada now, and their forecasted birthrate, compounded by the number of future muslim immigrants plus forecasted birthrate , they might actually get up from their lazyboy and take a look out the window ! And, what would be waiting for them, on their suburban sidewalks, is a steady stream of veiled muslim women pushing baby carriages. Frankly, I live in the biggest city in Canada, and I can report to you that influx of muslim children in the traditional immigrant neighborhoods , that will be voting age in less than 20 years, is astounding. Now, I know that everyone knows a nice muslim man or women, or family in their area, moderate, westernized, “but” I’m not worried about the moderate muslim. I’m worried about the 10 % of the world’s muslim population that are considered “fanatical “, because 10% of the muslim population is 150,000,000 people. If you look around the world right now, it’s that 150,00,000 that are fighting their JIHAD, in the name of ALLAH. Unfortunately, from my perspective, the nice, moderate muslims haven’t been able to stop them. If you study the problem enough and read their books, you come to a simple conclusion; because of the dualism and hypocrisy within the Islamic doctrine, what we are actually asking the moderate muslims to do for us, by asking them to stop the Jihad, is to turn their backs on the core teachings of the Koran/Haddith /Sira, turn their backs on their muslim brothers, and cast themselves into HELL. I ask you, would you give up your chance at Heaven, for a bunch of people you considered less than animals? If the moderate muslims give up on conquest, jihad and their fellow muslims, it is written that they will burn in the fires of Hell for eternity. I think that’s a tremendous road block on the road to reconciliation between the west and the Islamic world. So it’s not “if” they will try to take us over, it’s “when”. Only we can stop the immigration free for all !!! For me, I don’t care about white people fading away into history, or being assimilated. What I fear is the removal of my history. Because that’s what Islam does, it erases all signs of conquered civilizations, and takes credit for those civilizations accomplishments. Also, it’s time to start realizing that the Chinese, Hindus, Budists, Jews, and all other races and religions are “not” our enemy’s. They have no intentions of mass genocide, or burying our history, and their religions are not doctrines of conquest. So let’s all look at the big picture, and start realizing who are real friends are. Because as far as Islam is concerned, everyone has to go…

The liberal goverments quest for more voter support put law abiding canadian tax payers (non muslims) at extreme risk from radical islamist.I wish all non muslims would take the time to read the qur,an and realize what a dangerous religious sect we are dealing with.(non violent) muslims and radical muslims have the same agenda but with different means of attaining total dominance.m-103 is the beginning of their quest.We must stand united and oppose this motion.
Barbara Dougherty says

S.HOVINGTON says
Here goes Trudeau’s uninformed Liberals again, trying to appease the Muslims in hopes that the Jihadists will see Canada as friends, and spares us from anymore attacks. Islamiphobia? Nobody in Canada has an uncontrollable gut renching phobia towards Islam, we don’t run screaming the other way when we see muslims walking down the street. It’s a ridiculous notion, and the premise that Islamics are unequally persecuted in this country is laughable. Canada stood shoulder to shoulder with its Muslims , and condemned the shooting at the Montreal mosque. Although, reciprocally we didn’t really see the same kind of grief from our muslims when our Parliament was attacked, and a soldier standing gaurd at our monument to fallen veterans , was brutally murdered by a radicalized muslim jihadist in our Nations Capitol. If you want to talk about a real persecuted minority, try the Jews! They experience 10 times the malicious hatred and racism that muslims do, but they aren’t looking for a special law to protect them from words and criticism. I find it laughable that the Muslims here in Canada are so thin skinned? If christians committed as many acts of terrorism across the world ( and I mean in modern times, don’t try to twist my words), I’d be expecting some angry people to let me know their opinion, and I’d be damn well looking within for answers and trying hard to reform my religion. One thing I wouldn’t be looking for, is special protection from my government , because someone said a few mean words.
Justin Trudeau, your father was a real Prime Minister, he didn’t take shit from nobody. Right now he would be asking the muslim community to clean up their act, and not the other way around! You arent a chip off that block Justin. Your just like your mother, a manic depressive party girl with schizophrenia, who hasn’t kept any promises they’ve made. Your so over sensitive that your shedding tears at the drop of a hat. You felt so overwhelmed by Ikra Khalid’s fake cry’s of racist bigotry, that you never even stopped to think that the muslim men in Mrs.Khalid’s riding, you know the “men” who really rule Islamic society, had an alterior motive for putting in this Islamiphobia Law? This wide reaching, badly written, open to interpretation piece of garbage, that throws free speech to the hot ,dry, middle eastern wind. Perhaps if you would remove your nose from Mrs. Khalid’s posterior, you’d smell the faint odor of blood and burning aviation fuel on the wind, and hear the faint screams and gun fire mixed with joyous shouts of “Allah Akbar”, and I’m not talking about the past Justin.
One more thing Justin, have you been ignoring the calls from St-Remi-de-Naperville Cemetery? Apparently, something or someone is trying to claw it’s way out of your father’s burial plot… Shame on you Justin.
Chaim says
PM Trudea said the following in the House of Commons in his speech on favor of M103:
“It’s easy to try an scare people into voting for you. It’s easy to to try to say something that will pit a neighbour against a neighbour. If you do it in a sneaky way and use coded language, maybe you won’t get called on it by the majority. Maybe you’ll get to slip it through.”
He then went on to talk against “islamophobia”. Of course it is a code word.
He presented “islamophobia” as the moral equivalent of anti-semitism. He presented it as code for “discrimination and hatred against muslims”. He claimed that the country has a problem — “islamophobia” — but did not present a factual basis for such a claim.
He also said:
“Well, if M-103, condemning islamophobia, actually gets people to notice that there are people uncomfortable with that idea — that there still are people who have problems with the idea that we would condemn discrimination against muslims — then we have to know, we have to expose that, and we have to deal with that as a society. Because if this room isn’t a reflection of what’s happening in our streets, in our towns, in our communities.”
This reveals his political goal. He makes the claim that Canada has a problem — “islamophobia” — without defining this supposed problem. Then, he impugnes the motives of those who’d criticize his, and this motion’s, obvious emphasis on “islamophobia”. The criticism is not really about the faults in the motion, nor about the faults in his own political claim, but rather is based on “hatred”. There was plenty of opportunity to clairfy what the motion is meant to address, but the PM and the mover of the motion had to concede that there is no consensus on the meaning of the code word “islamophobia”. It is delibrately vague so as to mean everything from probing questions about islam to shootings in mosques.
There is a real problem within islam regarding tolerance of challenges to the tenets of this belief system. Indeed, when it comes to talk about systemic discrimination, another code word that is embedded in M103, the emphasis really ought to be on the system of islam — sharia law and the example of Mohammed who is supposed to be the upmost model of how to live the life of islam.
Now, compare what PM Trudea says and does with what the teachers of islam say and do. If there is division within the scope of isalm — and there is — then how can the rejection of “islamophobia” be applied to challenges one muslim would raise, in good faith, with other muslims?
Ultimately this motion is a political ruse whereby the Liberal Party seeks to marginalize those who’d defend Canadian values even within the islamic religion. That is not only a cynical ruse, it is a ludicrous position to take when one is, as PM Trudeau poses as doing in his drama teacher theatrics, as the great dogooder seeking to bring light to the public square.
As he posed:
“Well, if M-103. condemning islamophobia, actually gets people to notice that there are people uncomfortable with that idea — that there still are people who have problems with the idea that we would condemn discrimination against muslims — then we have to know, we have to expose that, and we have to deal with that as a society. Because if this room isn’t a reflection of what’s happening in our streets, in our towns, in our communities.”
Exposing criticism of his position is not exposing hatred on the part of his critics. A responsible political leader would be more open about exposing the systemic discrimination within islam itself. He might even take challenges to such discrimination with him when he enters mosques to preach about Canadian values.
But he does the opposite.
Chairm says
Here is another excerpt from PM Trudeau’s House of Commons speech:
“And we need to talk about this. And we need to challenge each other to be better on this. We need to recognize that we have a problem because there are still men out there who will not say, Yes I am a feminist.”
He made that remark without linking it to “islamophobia”. He said it without placing it in the context of Islam and moslim women in Canada or elsewhere. He just blurted it out as if to analogize “islamophobia” with disagreement on feminism.
He put it across in such a way that the equivalence apears to be that not identifying as a feminist is as appalling as not identifying as a molsem. Two belief systems that systemically are at odds with each other and which systematically discriminate — one way under the contemporary form of feminism and another way under the classic and predominant form of islam.
PM Trudeau has visited mosques around the country, some of which are known to have been frequented by radicals who have gone on to promote and/or to aid or commit violent jihad.
Imagine the fine Liberfal leader standing in a Canadian mosque in front of a prayer room full of attentive moslim men. He takes the podium to present his challenging moral equivalency.
PM Trudeau:
“And we need to talk about this. And we need to challenge each other to be better on this hatred and discrimination. We need to recognize that we have a problem because there are still people out there who will not say, Yes I am a moselm; and there are men out there who will not say, Yes I am a feminist.”
The room is silent.
PM Trudeau continues:
“I am a feminist. Who is with me? Who here will meet the challenge of announcing yourself to be a feminist? … Ok, howabout a friend of a feminist? … No? Well, let me be clear, here, among the men, here in this mosque, feminists? … Anyone?”
Silence. PM shifts from foot to foot, gathers himself and looks up towqard the sunshine that illuminates the balcany where the moslem women are sitting in attendance.
PM Trudeau:
“Well, howabout the sisters up there, elevated, out of the way? Any sisters, feminists, in this mosque? … Anyone?”
Then there is some murmering as the men turn to look over their shoulders toward the back of the prayer room.
The sound of someone meekly clearing their voice is heard.
PM Trudeau declares jubiliantly:
“Oh, waitaminute! I hear a voice in the back, behind that screen, in the corner, yeh! There’s a feminist. The Ontario Premier, Kathleen Wynne is here! Nice to see you, or rather nice to hear your quiet voice from way back there in the corner, and you look very inclusive with that lovely scarf wrapped over your head. ”
The PM concludes his presentation:
“Yes, there are feminists in this mosque. Two, including me, and that shows that diversity is our strength, right? Here in this mosque? Please join me in congradulating myself me and on congradulating you on your stand against hatred and discrimination.”
See Wynne sitting in the corner behind a screen at a mosque:

There are others of her sitting in the balcony above the prayer room.
Note that PM Trudeau has appeared in a mosque joining in prayer. He acts as one who has converted. But he is a former part-time drama school teacher and it might be safe to assume that he is merely putting on a costume and playing the part and does not understand the words he is so reverently uttering in the name of islam.
