This is “hate speech,” but it is unlikely that Linda Jeffrey would say that the Toronto imam who said that Muslims would kill Jews was engaging in “hate speech.” People who belong to the Left’s favored groups cannot commit “hate speech,” you see.
“Mayor Calls Criticism Of Muslim Prayers In School ‘Hate Speech,’” by David Krayden, Daily Caller, March 10, 2017:
Brampton, Ontario Mayor Linda Jeffrey is dismissing critics who object to Muslim students having Friday prayer sessions in public schools as purveyors of “misinformation and hateful speech.” Jeffrey was responding to critics in a letter she released Thursday as Toronto-area parents in the Peel District School Board are preparing a full-scale protest on Saturday to demand that public schools not promote one religion over another.
The parents have organized a “Canada First” movement and plan a “Walk to Oppose Religion in Schools” this weekend at Celebration Square near Square One in Mississauga, a suburb of Toronto. They are also opposed to the motion introduced by local Liberal Member of Parliament Iqra Khalid that would ban “Islamophobia” and potentially make their protest subject to hate crimes legislation.
The parents are furious with the Peel District School Board’s decision to lift all restrictions on what are called “Friday prayer days” for Muslim students. The sessions take place on school time and include both prayers and sermons that are usually read in Arabic — leading many to ask just what is being said.
At the last board meeting, parents expressed their outrage over school board chairwoman Janet McDougald’s dismissive attitude when she was asked, “When you vote to allow Islamic Prayer in public schools, will you record all sermons that are offered in Arabic so we can analyze them later to ensure there is no hate speech being offered?”
McDougald called the questioner a “racist” and threatened to not take any more questions at the meeting.
In January the board lifted restrictions it had placed on the Muslim students that limited their selection of prayers and sermons to a pre-approved list. Now they can choose whatever they want.
Parents also want to know why there is Muslim prayer in public schools when no other religion is accommodated with special prayer sessions.
It’s not just Christian parents who are upset. The head of Canadian Hindu Advocacy, Ron Banerjee, suggested the Muslim prayers “may violate Canadian values.”
The Brampton mayor is unmoved. “I am troubled by the misinformation, fear mongering and outright falsehoods being spread by some,” Jeffrey wrote, making the dubious claim that the Ontario Human Rights Code gives Muslims the right to pray in public schools….
Shmooviyet says
According to this dumbbell, even plain ol’ curiosity about these ‘prayers’ is ‘phobic.
Does she know something the parents don’t?
Maybe just another gutless dhimmi tool..
If Ms. Mayor is looking for hate speech, she’s closer than she thinks.
Robert says
I myself might not always agree with the policies of the government of Israel but to call for killing Jews is spreading hatred towards an integral part of the world population. A few years ago in Rotterdam (the Netherlands), an Iman who repatedly preached hatred towards Jews and declared that it was the duty of each Muslim man to kill Jews, he was extradited back to his country of origin with full support of the general Dutch popullation
ninetyninepct says
Calling for killing of the Jews or any other identifiable group violates Section 319 of the Criminal Code of Canada. The Koran violates Section 318 which deals with hate literature.
If the Liberals actually gave a damn about trying to pretend to be concerned about Canadian Laws, the Koran, Islam and Muslims would all face criminal charges and be banned and / or deported from Canada.
Trudeau, Khalid and Mccallum and the rest of the Liberal Party don’t give a shit about Canada. Trudeau actually seems to hate this country and what we stand for, disturbingly like some American Democrats.

Jeanette says
It’s a shame that the Swedes aren’t as tough on Muslim rapists.
Lisa says
for all of you who are negative… inform yourselves, please..or shame on you all….. people of Muslim faith, praying if i am not mistaken for all Islamic, prayer is a fundamental part of their faith…they pray 4 times a day… live and let live, respectfully
sue baker says
Then let them pray at home.
Lisa says
These are their fundamental prayer times … They must pray at the set prayer time…

Terry says
Sue– RIGHT ON.
Terry says
Lisa–I AGREE WITH LIVE AND LET LIVE.
BUT IT IS MUSLIMS WHO ARE NOT LETTING THOSE WHO DISAGREE WITH THEM LIVE-
IT IS MUSLIMS WHO SET OFF BOMBS.
IT WAS MUSLIMS THAT TRIED TO ATTACK THE PARLIAMENT BUILDING.
YES, LIVE AND LET LIVE.
TELL THE MUSLIMS THAT
Lisa says
I understand what you;re saying … what Muslims do we have here ? We have the unspeakable Muslims being slaughtered in Syria and it is Muslims slaughtering them…A long very sad history with these 2 denominations… Like Iran and Saudi Arabia ….We live in a world where hate and prejudices bring unspeakable wars … In our Western world we and our newcomers seem to live really well…many newcomers even live with those that in other parts of the world..they could not… Here everyone is neighborly … so I do pray, we in the west maintain with pride our western core values as humanitarians that respect all mankind… I ask you, what do we do if not that… be hated… of course we should not promote hate, dictatorship … I go with, Welcome, all the best to you!! God bless
Terry says
Lisa,
Jews are supposed to pray ( regular weekday) 3 times a day- THOSE WHO DO SO, DO IT AT HOME, OR PRIVATELY -OR, IF LUCKY ENOUGH TO WORK WITH A NUMBER OF JEWISH CO-WORKERS, TAKE A FEW MINUTE BREAK (afternoon prayers are quick) -privately.
THEY DON’T ASK FOR SCHOOL ROOMS, ETC.
Or, they do the afternoon prayers then follow with evening at ome.
NO NEED TO SUE A PUBLIC BUILDING.
Terry says
Ontario school raising money for hajibs? Are they also going to raise money for Jewish boys to have tsitsis and when 13 tefflin? And Christian children for whatever Christian use?
Their (Muslim parents) are taxpayers also. So why don’t they buy their own hajibs?
The children should learn their religion–I AGREE- AT HOME; IN CHURCH; NOT IN SCHOOL.
Terry says
last line 4th word– USE NOT SUE
Lisa says
Terry , that is Jews not all are the same…. does it really matter that those of Muslim faith pray differently… That is their faith…. as long as we respect one another avoid conflict to wars…who cares …it hurts no one…. can we not just find it interesting and smile… we certainly accept and embrace a lot of other going on’s in our society … and last, where did it get France dictating to Muslim people…i will tell you, it got them TERROR … I go for keeping our core western values as humanitarians, accept and respect all who are good 🙂
John Ceglarski says
If you bothered to read about islam you would know it is not a religion but rather a supremisist misogynistic death cult that was founded by an illiterate pedophile phycopath and has caused the death of over 240 million people and counting. Like most people that are ignorant of the islamic political/military system you completely gloss over the fact that the quaran calls for the death or conversion of ALL other human beings on the planet. That is why I believe the Latin maxim “hostis humani generis” is the most fitting term used to describe it. The closest I can come in contemporary description would be to tell you to watch some Star Trek episodes that feature The BORG as the antagonist. Involuntary violent assimilation is what islam is all about.
Lisa says
for your information, there are millions of Islamic Muslims that are very, very fine people. in my opinion, people like yourself are determined to think you know everything, when you absolutely do not. I hope for your sake and for the sake if you have children or any influence on youth, that you take the time to educate yourself http://nelsoncarvalheiro.com/why-bahrain-is-the-coolest-arab-country-to-visit/

My dear, I pray you and people like you can enlighten yourselves, have the slightest respect for all those in our world who are just people living our lives to be the best we can be … as for the radicals, well, us the majority who just live our lives as good people doing the best we can…, no, we never want the hitlers, the jim jones, the radicals who make wars in the middle east and on and on … we want prosperity, happiness, love and peace 🙂 for all mankind
Cretius says
Well said. Islam is a belief system that is intolerant and deadly to all other belief systems. That is the bottom line. Accommodation of Islamic ideas is suicidal.
Lisa says
To Cretius and John Ceglarski:
I can only tell you both, i do not know if you know any people who follow the Islamic faith, but i do, and i know you both are so mistaken. its so sad you are both so closed minded, good gracious, our society has countless very good, good Muslim people who follow the Islamic faith. and you must know, their are radicals in all faiths… Despite concerns about reliability of early sources, most HISTORIANS believe that Islam originated in Mecca and Medina at the start of the 7th century. Which is 601 AD ….. A century later, the Islamic empire extended from Iberia in the west to the Indus river in the east.
Terry says
Many years ago, I knew some people form Brampton & Mississauga. They were Hungarians ( and their descendants) who fled to Canada after the failed 1956 revolt against the USSR.
They were Catholic, although ( the ones I knew) were totally unreligious and virtually atheists.
However, they learned English ( & French) and, while in their homes, spoke Hungarian amongst themselves, assimilated.
They did not ask, for themselves or their children, special classes, lessons in Hungarian, or special Catholic services. The religion was at the home- and the church, not the school.
It was the same in the US- when I went to school.
Why the asskissing of these Muslims?
BLC says
The Trust Fund kid who runs this country, Trudeau, is likely eyeing the bank accounts of people like the Saudi Royal Family, Soros and the rich Iranians. He’s too rich to be affected by any of the terrorism that the population of ordinary Canadians could face, so he’s all about getting in good with the filthy rich bastards in the Arab world.
Stan Lee says
I have wondered what the Canadian people were thinking when Trudeaux was given the votes to be the PM?
Certainly, the people had to know of his “pedigree,” don’t you think?
I’m not hoping the next comment becomes a reality, but at the rate the boy wonder is going, by the time Canada awakens and ejects him, he’ll have done to Canada what Obama did to the USA.
BLC says
Trudeau could very well do worse to Canada than Obama did to the USA.
Canadians are desperate for a national identity of their own, and Canadians can be naive. They can be oblivious to the more sinister agenda of the radical Left.
Another Trudeau comes along. He’s young, “good looking”, and making promises he can’t keep. The fools have voted him in trying to recapture some feel good moments, real or imagined, experienced with his father in the 70’s and 80’s.
BLC says
Trudeau says Canada is post-national. He says it has no core values.
His claim that Canada is post-national isn’t true because it implies that at some time it was national. Even into the twentieth century, Canada was a British colony with British subjects. Even now, it’s a Constitutional Monarchy. It hasn’t been a nation state to itself to develop any kind of a real identity.
Plenty of Canadians would disagree that Canada has no core values, but Trudeau picks and chooses who he listens to. Whenever he says, “Canadians told me…”, he’s referring to the immigrants who are newcomers to Canada and not the Canadians who have been in the country for generations.
Frank in Newfoundland says
Sorry, Stan, but No, Canadians _didn’t_ know what they should have known about the Shiny Pony’s pedigree, and for the same reason as Americans elected Obama the first time : the media failed miserably in doing their job.
The media didn’t ‘vet’ Trudeau anymore than they did Obama.
In fact, the CBC in particular set the stage for Trudeau’s election by engaging in a running hate-fest against former Conservative Prime Minister Harper for years prior to the election.
Sound familiar?
Jeanette says
Reading these comments about Trudeau, I want to offer my sincere condolences to Canada’s decent people;
I know what Obama did to America, and I hope that Canadians are able to use that example to cut the damage to Canada short.
FT says
Wake up Canada, do not let Trudeau doing more damage to our Country, I did not vote for him, I knew what’s gong to happen , We need to stand up and raise our voices.
He even embraces open border and let all the drug Cartels flooding our Country. Look what he has done recently in Pearson Airport :
Build moslem prayer room with extravagant Bathroom with our hard earned tax payer money, will you find any Christian prayer room in the Airport ?
mortimer says
Agree with BLC. Justine Castro is a globalist using Saudi, Soros and Iranian cash and influence to jigger the electorate so his party will always be elected. The trouble with that thinking is that soon an Islamic political party will emerge that will throw that idea out the window, since his party will not be Islamic enough.
BLC says
Trudeau wants people to think that he’s such a visionary with progressive ideas. In reality, he’s concerned about lining his own pockets and he could not care less about Canada, or Canadians.
He has a Foundation like the Clintons have a Foundation that is making them rich. He attends “cash for access” parties, takes gifts from people like the Aga Khan, makes deals with George Soros who funds insurgencies in various countries, and the list goes on.
Whether it’s cultural jihad or violent jihad, Trudeau will be like the Saudis, Soros, and the rest. He’ll have enough money to protect himself from the consequences. It won’t touch him. It’s the Canadian people who will suffer.
Rob says
Some political hacks (and I mean all around the world) are either too stupid or too rewarded to admit that Sharia (the government form desired by the vast majority of Muslims) and democracy are mutually exclusive.
Pierre says
I think the whole problem is being driven by cash from Islamic OPEC states. Oil money is funding the spread of this religion. I have my suspicions that if climate change turns out to be a fabrication then it has been done to try to wean us off oil and thereby stop us funding our own demise.
moeped says
Agreed. The Saudis have nothing but oil for revenue and they know it is a finite resource. They are therefore buying up North America and sowing the seeds of Wahabiism in a take over attempt. They focus on government, schools, colleges and universities to influence policy and indoctrinate our youth.
Jeanette says
But it’s the Muslim-loving liberals who are pushing global warming, so that doesn’t make sense.
Lisa says
get real, he is fine financially and his Father, God bless him Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau was a Humanitarian and so is he….i do not really care for Trudeau , for his lack of experience but in the end… He is standing tall for our Humanitarian core values here in Canada and that is GREAT!!! Give him that… Muslims are slaughtering Muslims in Syria… Iran and Saudi Muslims at war forever…. The Iranian Shias and Saudi Sunnis … Trudeau has opened our doors… we have so many Jews and Palestine’s that live happily side by side as neighbors here, and we can have sunni and shia do the same… why, because our core values as Canadians prove for years humanitarian a nation of respect for all mankind, can
Oliver says
Lisa–I think that you are either imbibing in a great deal of happy juice, or taking controlled substances.
MUSLIMS KILLED DOZENS IN EGYPT TODAY. THEY RAN TRUCKS INTO A DEPARTMENT STORE THE OTHER DAY IN SWEDEN. IN OTTAWA, THEY TRIED TO GET INTO THE PARLIAMENT BUILDING. DITTO IN LONDON- AND DROVE A TRUCK INTO PEDESTRIANS. AND THEY- THE PEACEFUL MUSLIMS- DO THIS DAILY -OR TRY TO-IN ISRAEL.
IN NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY THE PEACEFUL MUSLIMS TRIED TO SET OFF BOMBS.
AND LOOK AT THE REFUGEES–MOST- ARE MALES, BETWEEN 18-19 AND ABOUT 35.
WTF i says
You may live in a world where you believe everyone is a good person. This is not reality. If Justin wants to play humanitarian to the world, in the amounts of over spending 30 billion a year. Then he should do it on his own dime. Do you think money grows on trees? Do you realize the consequences when that needs to be paid back? If he wants to save the world maybe he should start at home first. And if he really wants to make a difference in syria, maybe all these western countries should stop funding terrorists. BTW muslims can make up their missed prayers. There is no need for them to be praying their hate in schools. Preach your hippie crap but know this is one person that isn’t buying.
Cretius says
Nativity such as yours and Justin Trudeau’s is a real danger to Canada’s security. These ‘refugees’ are not even vetted! They are almost totally Muslim. Where are the persecuted Christians and Yazidis?
My Brazilan wife had to have a complete medical and THREE police clearances and she was Christian.
Pierre Trudeau was an arrogant ass that was anti-English but at least he was intelligent. Justin has his mother’s brains and looks and is probably the least educated and least qualified of any of Canada’s PMs.
Lisa says
Let me tell you my faith you know nothing of… secondly, i never voted for Justin I was a firm supporter of Prime Minister Stephen Harper, I could not believe Justin was elected. Meanwhile, what are we to do … I have no desire to see our country divided like we have seen in Europe .. and as for your Brazilian wife, well, my Greek husband from Greece over 30 years ago had to go through a major immigration process he was not a refugee in a life or death situation…was your Brazilian wife? We are upstanding citizens, traditional fine people who honour our faith… and he has seen first hand the refugees going through Greece in desperation…and are you working in our immigration, i assure you, they are dong everything to check all those who enter Canada the best that they can
Cretius says
My experience is with the immigration process, long and expensive.
The U.S. take a year to 1 1/2 years to vet an immigrant. Trudeau brought in 30,000 in three months. IT is inconceivable that Canada vetted any of these for criminal records, health conditions etc. Canada is supporting this group with little expectation that they will not burden our health care and social services.
I support immigration but not an invasion with the the expectation that they will be loyal Liberal voters.
Lisa says
i hear you, we are in quite a situation from the Syrian horrific war. There are millions of refugees , parentless children i cannot believe it… From what my bible says, i will keep my faith, give understanding love, support and pray, we are sheilded from those who are evil if they do make it here, may their hearts and minds change, not to be evil, amen
Anne Smith says
Votes?
Lisa says
I simply was stating, how the Sunni and Shia Muslims are in a major war in Syria … I ask, what are we in Canada to do?? Our nation has, they will and they must accept more refugees … now, what is in our best interest. How should we receive these refugees?? and why are young, all age Muslims terrorizing worldwide, maybe you should educate yourself to why these extreme terrorist actions are tragically occurring .. If we put you, your race of people in a society that is slaughtering your people in war, no nations military are coming to rescue you or any of your people, then you escape, to what?? Where you are harassed not to wear your traditional clothing and do not ask to practice your religion ..you now must fight again for your freedom and rights….well, i can only say, there is a chance you may see a worldwide uprising of terror, which i think is where we are now… so, now, we have those who have not been reported as mentally ill to those who have been known to be mentally ill committing terror. worldwide.. My opinion again fellow Canadians, is from educating myself regarding these issues, from news to learning histories, to communicating with friends from both nations who are Sunni and Shia Muslims and from my country Canada… knowing what we stand for , what our Constitution entitles … I do support and respect our Religious Freedom and Rights Act for all. I choose to support it respectfully and welcome all those I meet our immigration gives entry to …. maybe you too might consider the same
Jeanette says
Because they are claiming “religion,” not “other country.”
We must remove that protection by showing that Islam is a cult (otherwise, why would it meet all of the qualifiers, including the BIG one, human sacrifice?).
Then we can go after them – after they are no longer operating under the cover of being a religion.
Lisa says
Jeanette , I feel so sorry for you,. calling Islam a cult…. may you educate yourself…. to give you an example, Jim Jones called himself a Christian , as did Hitler, do you call Christianity a cult because of them… maybe you do
WTF is wrong with people says
Now I am a Canadian. I remember when the lord’s prayer was in school. Every morning we would say it and then sing the anthem. My dad said it was the same when he went to school. When I was in grade 4 this all stopped. That would be 26 years ago now. The reason why was bcause public schools didn’t want to foster religious practices in schools anymore. Now fast forward to 2013, I had my children in public school. I ended up taking them out that year because they were not allowed to sing any Christmas songs that mentioned Jesus or God. This is why Canadians are angry. We have been told that Christianity doesn’t belong in public schools and now we are being told that Islam is allowed. I say the liberals are the Bigots! They hate anyone who won’t baby muslims. They crushed the practices of Christianity in Canada and replaced it with Islam. They crushed the religion that the values of this country were built on and replaced it with a religion that didn’t contribute. When did they ever allow a Pastor to come into schools to preach for christian specific holidays? Never! Who’s the bigot now? This makes me sick!
mortimer says
It’s reverse discrimination against Jews, Christians, Hindus, Sikhs, agnostics and atheists.
It’s making an establishment of religion in Ontario schools.
This is philosophically incoherent.
Laura Joy says
Islam does not belong in Canadian schools, nor in Canada! Why is Islam an evil cult allowed in our schools when Christianity and Judaism and other religions are forbidden? If I were a parent I’d pull my children out of school. Justin Trudeau and all his politically correct Canada destroying idiots need to be impeached!+
Ted says
Justin Trudeau announced to the world that Canada has open arms to all refugees in response to Trumps coming up ban on people from certain countries.This has caused many people to illegally attempt to cross our borders from the U.S.A. Two African men came across in the Prairies and eventually lost their fingers due to frostbite.With only thumbs now how will they function in our society.I hold Trudeau personally responsible as in his saying to these people that illegal border-crossing is not illegal, therefore our Prime Minister is complacent in a crime.These people could possibly sue us and say they would never had attempted such a hazardous trips except for the encouragement of the Prime Minister.We must get out and vote against Trudeau and get a good solid majority to remove these threats from our Canadian Values.
Bill says
Well, at least two potential soldiers of Jihad are going to have a tough time chopping heads, building bombs, detonating bombs and committing other acts of Jihad. The downside is that Canadian taxpayers will be providing for their support and assistance now for life.
Good luck Canadians. Obama did massive damage to the USA in eight years. I think Trudeau is capable of doing irreparable damage to Canada in his tenure because he seems to have even more support for his depredations that Obama had for his. This Brampton Mayor is a shining example. Also, Canada has done much more that the USA in terms of criminalizing free speech. It will be very difficult for Canadians to speak out to challenge Trudeau. Also, Canadian citizens went a long way down the road in allow their government to disarm them. As a consequence, they have no effective last resort when Trudeau and his armed thought police start the nationwide prosecutions of those expressing criticism of Islam.
Ted says
I have no way of knowing what the 2 Africans intentions were, but one declared himself as being Homosexual and was fleeing persecution due to his sexual preference. Canada is made up of immigrants as I came here from England when I was 2 and have obeyed our laws as close as I could. We need immigrants but they must come into our country the way the law says must be followed. Absolutely no exceptions. If the contract immigrants sign to become a citizen is not followed completely then the contract is broken and the person should be made to removed back to country of origin.The Americans have the second amendment and we have the right to own arms also.
WTF is wrong with people says
At one spot where they are crossing illegally there have been approximately 650 in January and February alone. At that same spot in 2014 there was 700-800 for the whole year. There is an article in the Toronto Sun claiming they are flying to New York and then taking a bus, from there getting a cab to drop them at the border and walk across. Refugees my arse, seen a video of a woman getting arrested wearing clean white sneakers, highlights in her hair and freshly manicured nails. But Trudeau keeps trying to tell everyone they are crossing illegally because they are fleeing persecution. How can you still get your hair and nails done if your life is in that much danger. Give me a break.
Shmooviyet says
These “refugees” from persecution in the US *LOL* may have lost fingers and been lauded as heroes with their photos in the papers– but they certainly didn’t lose their iPhones and designer clothes. Their Patagonia down jackets from Mall of America kept them warm enough to survive the trek.
When interviewed, one complained of the uncaring people who wouldn’t give him a lift. IMO, had we a colder winter, they might have been ‘cared for’ by a pack of hungry timberwolves.
andra says
The same thing has happended all over Europe a long time ago.
I really hope for you that your fellow Canadians wake up rapidly. I think that Canada still might have a chance to recover from this islamic nightmare. In Europe it will a pile of work if we ever get the chance to rebuild our societies, in Canada right now it may be only a small heap so far.
no_one says
Islam is in fashion obviously. It is fashionable to be pro -islam. Soon sharia may be fashionable too. Sad.
Darth says
The Ontario Government tried to implement a Parrallel Legal System for Family Courts to deal with and implement Sharia Civil (Family Court, Divorce Cases and Civil Litigation). As my wife put it, any man about to get a divorce, he would say he is a muslim to get into the Sharia Court where women are below cattle and the men get everything including the children. It only failed because of an election and the Constitutional Question was solved with the “NOTWITHSTANDING CLAUSE”.
The Ontario Minister of Health TRIED to put FEMALE GENITAL MUTILATION into the hospitals to accomodate Religious Muslims because at the time there was circumcision for boys. Circumcision for males prevents the spread of disease (Circumcision drive in Africa to reduce the spread of HIV), and is not damaging to the organs. The reason it failed is ONLY because the UNITED NATIONS DEFINES FEMALE CIRCUMCISION (Which it is NOT) Female Genital MUTILATION.
The Sharia Creep in Ontario is 15 years old and they have been trying to legislate in Stealth. Forcing the Catholic Schools to implement a “Muslim Prayer Room” and they fought and won in preventing an IMAM from coming onto Catholic Schools to give sermons, but they tried, but they failed in preventing the Muslim Prayer Rooms. In Ontario, Catholic Schools are in the constitution. The requirement that 1 parent be Catholic, and the child baptized seems to be irrelevant. There is a fight in the Catholic School System to stymie the Sharia Creep.
This outrages me to no end. The mosqueterias are a total violation of separation of State and Religion.

WTF is wrong with people says
Saying what exactly? She has already proven she is a bigot and will only reply with accusations of hate speech if you don’t agree with what she is saying. She won’t answer any inquiries, she has proven that from her responses. Why shouldn’t there be interpreters? People have a right to know what is being said. But she doesn’t even answer the question. These liberals need to all be tried for treason.
andra says
It does not matter wether or not she answers. The point of wiriting is to show these people that resistance is growing.
In Germany the first little resistance against Islamisation was labelled as Nazi. By now the resistance has publicly grown – with letters, ralleys etc. – that the mainstream media once in a while report positively about the AfD or other critics.
Writing argumentative letters – no shit storms with threats or Insults – also shows the lefties that the voters are not stupid and well informed.
Anne Smith says
All politicians only have one interest – votes.
At the moment they are fawning over the Muslims for their votes. If they think the votes might not come as others are furious about their policies then they just might think again. Merkel is back tracking like mad in Germany – hopefully it is too late for her.
andra says
to Ann Smith
Merkel is not back tracking at all. She is only lying more than usual.
She still insists that opening the borders in 2015 was human and necessary.
Her govenment still plans on 300.000 “migrants” per year for the next decades (12 mio all together).
Her party demands voting rights for everybody who is living within the German borders – independant from Status or nationality.
She only tries to deceive more subtle
Lisa says
Dear WTF is wrong with people … you make me laugh, and i must say, i think you do speak quite sensibly … for one, i too was very sad in elementary school when i could no longer proudly sing “OH CANADA… I do not have to tell you, our world is in another course of big changes, we now have new comers arriving in the masses across Canada. I have chosen to embrace them, let them have their prayers, they will not be as sad as we felt when we were in elementary school from whoever gave that okay, it was a wrong decision i felt and I remain feeling that… as for the mayor, is it that she does not reply to what prayers the children are saying…. ..did i understand that correctly… if yes, the truth is, most of us do not know the Quran and i am sure we would mis-interpet their prayers, if we were told them… I trust from the Muslim people i do know, their prayers are beautiful prayers for all mankind …. and last all i really care about is may peace remain in Canada for all of us is my sincere prayers wishes and hopes, when i see the news what goes on in protest to terror , I never want that here for our people
WTF is wrong with people says
I am saying this whole situation is being handled like a dictatorship. No one else’s concerns are even being addressed. And yes I will always have a problem with it, because the only way to make a diverse population with such a high diversity of religions work,is to embrace and implement separation of church and state. This is not equality. If this was fair and just, we wouldn’t see so many people of numerous other faiths so angry. And don’t try to tell me they need to pray at very specific times during the day. This is not true and they can make up those prayers later in the day. There have been muslims living in Canada for a long time already,and this is only becoming a problem now. It is unnecessary, plain and simple. And yes people should know what is being said. There are Imams preaching death to others in mosques in canada. There is a mosque in calgary that is being closed because it has been radicalized. Do I know if someone coming to that school or leading those prayer might be spewing death to others? No, not if it isn’t in english. So yes it is a very valid, and real concern. It isn’t a concern that is based on nothing.
Lisa says
i am lost for words… I guess i pray for the best but fear the worst . I just do not want what has happened in Europe to ever, ever start happening in Canada
Richard says
Here’s what I wrote to the Mayor and to Janet McDougald:
Dear Chairperson McDougald,
Allow me to congratulate and support you in your spirited defence of Islamic sermons and prayer in Ontario public schools and your brave stance in rejecting the hateful and bigoted calls to translate and monitor the content of those sermons or prevent them altogether. Persons such as yourself in positions of leadership must take such action in order to ensure that other non-Muslims come to understand and accept their inferior status and feel themselves humiliated as the Holy Qur’an demands.
The racist protesters who oppose Islamic sermons and prayer are hindering the advance of Islam in our society and must be discredited and silenced, as you are so capably doing. Their attempts to resist Islam must be exposed as seditious and anti-Canadian. Any attempt to bring Christian prayer back into our public schools must be crushed with the full force of Canadian law, which must continue to support the rights of Islam. Your brave actions will enable Shari’a law to supplant the illegitimate man-made constitutional law that presently enslaves Canadians. Your fealty to Islam will doubtless make you a useful servant of Canada’s future Islamic Caliphate. Keep up the good work!
BLC says
Good one! You rocked that letter!
Rob says
Unfortunately for McDougald, her efforts to further the Islamic cause will ultimately be unrewarded. According to Islamic law and religion, she will always be a second class citizen. But “hey”, she still can participate thru FGM!

Agreed! Excellent letter.
I wonder whether the dopes who read it will recognize the sarc…

Just as in the fictional “Invasion of the Body Snatchers,” she has been taken over, not by pod people, but by moslems and their evil code from satan, known as islam. She is bowing to the beast. Otherwise she wouldn’t be saying moslims have the *right* to pray and have sermons in school when people of other belief systems do not have any rights there. And she would recognize the inherent hate in islam and in their “prayers” that are really about how they prey on Christians and Jews.
Just look at her eyes….the evil of islam is there for all to see. Evil. All she needs is one of those bumps on her head and a backpack of explosives. She’s doing damage to the children who have been placed in her *care.*.
Cretius says
The political left conveniently sacrifices the concept of the separation of church and state, that is a cornerstone of democracy, in favour of pandering for the Muslim vote. Public schools ceased allowing the Lords Prayer decades ago. Now we see the Left giving a supremacist belief system ascendancy in our public schools that are by a huge margin non-Muslim. The Muslim concepts of ‘racism’ and ‘Islamophobia’ are fraudulent attempts to curb freedom of speech and discussion of the teachings and history of Islam. This amounts to censorship and a further step to fascism. Radical Islam has become the new fascism of the 21st century. Politicians that support these concepts are enemies of democracy.
davej says
Since no other group or religion is allowed to pray on school time in school facilities then neither should the Muslims, that is just fair play. The content of the prayers is irrelevant, although we know from experience what is likely to be in Arabic prayers.
Linda Jeffrey is guilty of discrimination and should be reported to the Human Rights Commission.
JCCourt says
The left all over the Western world accuses anyone who disagree with them of being racist, bigot, and or hateful all the time. It is getting old and Not a valid argument. Hopefully Canadians will reach the same conclusion real soon. Thanks.

ISLAMIC DOCTRINE OF HATE TOWARDS DIRTY KAFIRS = “Al Walaa wal Baraa”
It is ironic for Linda Jeffrey to condemn an undefined, theoretical, nebulous, unofficial ‘Islamophobia’, when Islam contains an intolerant, discriminatory doctrine that is ‘ESSENTIAL’, DEFINED, LEGALLY BINDING, PRECISE and OFFICIAL.
• ‘Al Walaa wal Baraa’ – (Allegiance and Disassociation) is an Islamic doctrine that is very similar to apartheid, but more severe.
• ‘Al Walaa wal Baraa’ is an ‘essential doctrine’ (usul ud-deen). ‘Essential’ means that all Muslims must believe and practice al Walaa wal Baraa as a condition of being admitted to paradise.
• ‘Al Walaa wal Baraa’ is a highly developed, well-supported and canonical part of Islam approved by the consensus of Islamic jurists.
• ‘Al Walaa wal Baraa’ is legally binding and obligatory upon all Muslims.
• ‘Al Walaa wal Baraa’ is precisely defined by Islamic jurists and is not a nebulous idea.
• ‘Al Walaa wal Baraa’ is an official Islamic doctrine and considered the second most important doctrine in Islam.
Definition of ‘Al Walaa wal Baraa’ from Islamic sources:
• “ to show enmity to those who show enmity to Allaah and His Messenger” (i.e. Muslims are to visibly demonstrate their enmity or towards non-Muslims), from Khalid El-Gharib, “The Islaamic Concept of al-Walaa’ wal-Baraa’”, https://www.kalamullah.com/manhaj14.html
• “The implication of al-Baraa is that one HATES for the sake of Allah (SWT)…Al-Baraa means to recognize who your enemies are and to HATE them and EXTERMINATE them in their endeavour to get rid of your Deen, al-Islam…Al-Baraa is to HATE the people who propagate Baatil (falsehood)—the Muslim should HATE them and (at least desire to) KILL them when the time comes.” (i.e. al Baraa prepares Muslims to exterminate non-Muslims), Sheikh Abdullah al-Faisal, lecture, https://youtu.be/jUgDJmpmj14?t=855
• “The Muslim should regard the Kuffaar as enemies and hate them because of their kufr, just as he hates their kufr (disbelief) itself.” Umar Sulayman ‘Abd-Allaah al-Ashqar, “Belief in Allah”, http://www.kalamullah.com/belief-in-allah.html, (engl.2002)
Examples of Baraa from Historic Islamic Leaders:
• “The honour of Islam lies in insulting kufr and kafirs. One who respects the kafirs dishonours the Muslims… The real purpose of levying jiziya on them is to humiliate them to such an extent that they may not be able to dress well and to live in grandeur. They should constantly remain terrified and trembling. It is intended to hold them under contempt and to uphold the honour and might of Islam.”, Ahmad Sirhindi (1564-1624), (letter No. 163)
• “… true believers show animosity and hatred towards disbelievers and never support them.”- from ibn Taymiyya, The Book of Faith (“Kitab al Iman”) – ISBN: 9781615842872
Arthur says
Canadian Christians should demand Good Friday prayers and service at schools concurrent with the Islamic prayers and service (different rooms, of course). That will prove whether Islam gets favorable treatment or not. After all, there is no school on Sunday, which is the usual day Christians observe the Sabbath. In a few weeks Good Friday will be here.
The notion of bringing an imam into a school to preach a sermon seems bizarre to me. Don’t Muslims normally work on Fridays and go to mosque at the end of the workday on Friday??
moeped says
Work? Ahhh…maybe…
I agree that the only way to combat this inequality is to stop complaining and organize. Start demanding equality to illustrate who the real racists are.
BLC says
Yes. Peaceful paradise on the snow…not anymore, and this is only the beginning.
moeped says
Yep, my thoughts exactly. The issues that divide us will continue to grow. Funny how no other group causes this kind of controversy.
BLC says
What RCH has said is true even in everyday life in Canada.
Just as an anecdote, I am generally one who picks their battles carefully. Recently I was taking a course I had already paid for. I left the class on a break and walked back in to find women in the class criticizing President Trump. I said nothing so that I wasn’t causing a scene in the class, but it did bother me. For one thing, it wasn’t a class in politics. For another thing, I am of the solid opinion that President Trump is a good man who loves his country and has every right to govern it as he was democratically elected. (I also think that he will be the best President the United States of America has ever had and I am waiting for him to prove me right.)
After considerable thought about this, I went to the teacher after a class and told him what I’d heard and told him my stance on the issue. I said that I could not sit and say nothing in good conscience if they criticized this man again in the class, so I would not be returning to the class myself. I did not go back. I lose the money I paid for the class, but I did state my objections, and they will not be getting any more of my money for future courses. I feel much better because I can live with myself.
I do other things that I never thought I’d ever have to do either. If I’m invited out, I will not go if there is any chance that Halal food will be served. It’s against my conscience to eat such food.
So, this even changes everyday life to where you have to draw lines in the sand, (or snow, since it’s Canada), and say this is as far as I go.
Dave says
Nice to see principled people standing up for what they believe in and not being cowed into toeing the liberal squiggly red line in the runny sand. Well done whoever you are.
BLC says
Thanks Dave.
I might add that I will never pay to see another Meryl Streep or Robert De Niro movie, either.
Muslims have affected my life in ways I never thought possible.
Anne Smith says
Muslims have affected nearly everyone’s lives more than they thought possible.
Every time you take a plane you have to undergo a security check, shoes, belt, jackets all have to be removed. What a time waster and expense, all the extra staff and technical equipment to look inside the bags.
Wherever you go there is usually some sort of check these days. Thanks to the violence of Islam.
Mark Swan says
Absolutely Anne Smith.
Dave says
Brampton, Ontario Mayor Linda Jeffrey, most probably homed SS/chooled by Nazi sympathizers. I’m sick of the these mindless manipulators passing their own personal weaknesses and judgments into official practices at work. There needs to be a clear ruling on malignant religions using taxpayer funded schools as places of worship and corruption.
tgusa says
These fools have begun to try my patience. I am getting very very tired of these people.
Angemon says
Reads like something out of The Onion, doesn’t it?
tgusa says
Yes.
Are men in charge of women because Allah has ordained it? says
What does she think of Qur’an Verse 34 Chapter 4 in which Allah decrees that men are in charge of women and husbands can hit their disobedient wives.
I would have thought a staunch Lefty would have views on the subject if a half informed journalist were to ask her.
dumbledoresarmy says
From the article – “It’s not just Christian parents who are upset. The head of Canadian Hindu Advocacy, Ron Banerjee, suggested the Muslim prayers “may violate Canadian values.””
Many Hindus know Islam, from bitter experience.
And one Canadian Hindu dad, in particular. He was worried about a Muslim ‘prayer room’ that was set up at the high school his son attended. He was worried about what we might call ‘schoolyard dawa’ – to which *his own son* had succumbed, converting to Islam and estranging himself from the family. The School Principal refused to listen to this desperate HIndu dad.. whose son, ultimately, repudiated his HIndu family of origin, went off to a mosque, and.. became one of the “Toronto 16” who plotted to mass murder Infidel Canadians.
Kay says
What heartbreak!
Would it be safe to say that most Hindus in the West are more aware of the dangers of Islam because they are more aware of what has been happening in India?
Furthermore, parents used to object to health clinics being set up in High Schools. Are they being left in the dark about the prayer room or are they afraid to speak up? Why isn’t there more objection?
Dov Berrol says
Once again, we see a naive, well-intentioned Canadian falling for the ruse that is Islam. More evidence of the “Stockholm Syndrome” becoming a plague in the western world. I’ve come up with my own “Eight Pillars of Islam”: Narcissism, Domination, Sadism, Projection, Deceit, Theft, Murder and War”.
Ali Bey says
Major Linda should undergo FGM without anesthesia to check this kind of called social “culture”.
Ali Bey says
Muslims, by the very nature of Islam and its doctrine, are unintegrable. Forget any hope that muslims will integrate ever.
BLC says
Canadians can be very naive and uninformed about what’s happening in the world. They had a good prime minister with Stephen Harper. Then, they turfed him and elected Justin Trudeau who’s about as close to a Kardashian as they come. (Kardashians are “famous for being famous” and nothing else.) Does he have an outstanding achievement in his career? No. Does he have an outstanding political track record? No. What’s so remarkable about him then? Trudeau has a name that’s famous, (or by some standards, infamous), in Canada. His daddy was prime minister, so he thinks that entitles him to be prime minister, too.
Justin Trudeau is like the Kardashians, famous for being famous. That’s it, that’s all.
If Canadians would make such a choice, do they really deserve to have a country? If the answer is “No”, Islam is here to take it off their incompetent hands.
Lydia says
It’s not hate speech.
It’s called REAL NEWS!
And I will speak the truth!
They are moving forward with their silencing agenda.
I can see this but this round of items shows it increasing.
The next holocaust will be against those who speak the truth
and don’t assimilate into their agenda of fake news, celebration and glamorization of sin, embracing of false religion and false spirituality, and acceptance of the orwellian big brother police state.
There is no acceptance of any of these abominations by true Christians like me, not now and not ever! And I’m not using that term loosely; that is what they are planning for us.
By the way I just see now on the news that today was a ‘meet a muslim day’ across the country, just more propaganda (false) about islam, calling it ‘peaceful’ and other lies like that. We will never accept this, it is a religion of bloodthirsty evil.
Matthieu Baudin says
The Mayor could learn a thing or two from the mess that some of the public schools in Sydney have found themselves in – a result of going out of their way to accommodate traditional Muslim predilections only to find that traditional Muslim authoritarianism came as part of the package. So we should say no to special prayer times, no to prayer rooms, no to religious education lessons in school time, yes to ham sandwiches in the school canteen, no to face covers for students and staff, yes to dogs on ‘bring your pets’ day. The kids from Muslim households will adapt and find a suitable place within the broader dominant culture supported by the public school system.
UNCLE VLADDI says
Muslims openly and officially pray for their god to aid them in fomenting our destruction.
That in itself is the real “hate-speech crime” this cowardly panderer complains about!
DEBAR says
I think the mayor hates hate speech……..Therefore she is a “hater” and must resign immediately……This should be a no tolerance situation when it comes to “hate”…..Don’t you just “Hate that”? ………Oh darn guess I have to quit…….Hateful B—H.
Derrick Fernie says
There is no lords prayer in schools anywhere in Canada why are these people praying in our schools this is a Liberal agenda to bring Islam into our schools the next step will be sharia law in community’s with large Muslim populations. The capitulator’s are slithering out of the wood work this mayor should be fired immediately. This is just the beginning soon it will be like Europe; riots with these people demanding special rights. Does everyone truly believe that the globalist movement is just in America Trudeau met with George Soros then gets Helicopter ride from Aga Khan the spiritual leader of millions of Muslims in the world the fix is in people time to flush the toilet Americans got the swamp we got the bowl!
Dpk says
As usual a left wing mayor sliences the debate by calling those who oppose racists. All this does is bottle up those who want free speech and for no preference over religious accomodation. Eventually we the bottle bursts and the need for a Trumpist arises. Stop silencing the opposition by calling them racist! There are plenty of private religious schools if the parents want religion in schools. Otherwise keep prayer and religion out of public schools.
Terry says
Decades ago, in New York City- the problem was easily solved.
One day a week (in my day, i believe it was Wed.- not sure).
(This was elementary school) (grades 1 through 6).
Parents had to sign for it- and there was one hour of ” R. T.”. The letters stood for RELIGIOUS TRAINING. If the parents did not want it for their child, it was RELEASE TIME or something similar.
A clergyman (one per major religion) would go to the school, and discuss THAT religion, sort of alike a one hour class in one’s own religion. Geared for children, and more liek the reading of the Bible- and what was meant.
Nobody was forced to attend. And all were treated equally.
LR says
Terry,
Personally, I like that idea. I think all children should have a basic knowledge of the world religions.
Cretius says
Normally a course in Comparative Religions is offered at the university level. Canadian/world history is not even a core subject in Canadian schools. No wonder Canada is a collective of minority cultures! The Cons. made a start but Liberal governments don’t seem to have any interest in promoting Canadian values and history. A damned shame as it only further divides the country.
Brenda Romano says
I don’t how many children from other faiths or no faiths are present but I would encourage the children from other faiths to start loudly reciting their prayers and those with no faith to sing and dance during Muslim prayer time.
Brenda Romano says
Next election get rid of Brampton and the school board.
Lisa says
as for the video… Quebec has won a supreme court order for no prayer, and in an Ontario school their raising funds for student to have Hijabs, they also provide a Friday prayer area… Well, Here, here!! For Muslim parents who are too, taxpayers… They clearly speak up for wanting their children to know their faith and so sad for Quebecois not wanting theirs …. I find it very sad how The Quebecois have allowed their sad history with those who betrayed themselves from the Catholic church as good followers, they were deranged and only used the Catholic church to abuse and cause so much pain… We must never just trust anybody or look to any man as God, but only God as God…. I am so happy for my faith in God,from my readings in my bible… I certainly appreciate a good pastoral service, but I well know, he is just that a pastor, not God…. I think the Muslim community is doing great for their their youth, their community and I pray that the Quebecois people one day, may find they to do want to restore their faith in God not just in themselves or man but in Gods words to lead them happily , amen
Cretius says
The Islamic belief system is supremacist and deserves no special status in our secular public school system. The Lords Prayer was banned from Ontario public schools 26 years ago. So be it for the Muslims. They can conform to the rule for all religions or form and finance their own schools just as the Jews do.
Paul says
This is a very interesting situation, in that it involves not “Hate Speech” but really a battle of protected constitutional rights. The right to education and the right to religion. This argument was already dealt with some 26 years ago when parents in Sudbury challenged the issue of children in public schools being forced to say the “Lord’s prayer”. While they were told to sit in the hallway or whatever the point was challenged in court and the Lord’s prayer was removed.
http://www.cbc.ca/…/lord-s-prayer-banned-25-years-ago-after…
Now the Muslim prayers have become an issue in relatively the same context. Back then the reason to remove the Lord’s Prayer was that public schools were secular – non religious. Now I ponder what the Supreme Court would say!
Meredith says
Parents in Peel region should do the following:
1. Withdraw their children from public school.
2. Form their own secular schools and teach their children themselves.
3. Make their communities no-go zones, not just to muslims but to the police, government officials, building inspectors, MPAC employees EVERYONE who is not a member of their community. Require a passport for entrance, require permissions, require identification. If anyone complains call them a racist, a bigot, call them anti-democratic, fall them a fascist, because that is what they and Islam are: FASCISM
The only way to defeat Islam is to do what they do, but TO THEM!
Shay Forrest says
READ THE QURAN COMMAND TO HATE AND KILL ALL WHO HAVE OTHER gods BESIDE ALLAH, THE MUSLIM god!!!Terry Kamps Jr. “Educate The World About The True Intent of Islam by Reading The Koran Day”, see these Koran Quotes Koran
Koran Surahs:
Koran 2:191 “Slay the unbelievers wherever you find them.”
Koran 3:28 “Moslems must not take the infidels as friends.”
Koran 3:85 “Any religion other than Islam is not acceptable.”
Koran 5:33 “Maim and crucify the infidels if they criticize Islam.”
Koran 8:12 “Terrorize and behead those who believe in scriptures other than the Qur’an.”
Koran 8:60 “Moslems must muster all weapons to terrorize the infidels.”
Koran 8:65 “The unbelievers are stupid; urge the Moslems to fight them.”
Koran 9:5 “When opportunity arises kill the infidels wherever you catch them.”
Koran 9:29 “Fight those people of the Book (Jews and Christians) who do not believe in Allah and the Last Day, do not refrain from what has been prohibited by Allah and His Rasool and do not embrace the religion of truth (Islam), until they pay the Halal Certification Tax (protection tax or jizya) with their own hands and feel themselves subdued.”
Koran 9:30 “The Jews and Christians are perverts; fight them.”
Koran 9:123 “Make war on the infidels living in your neighborhood.”
Koran 22:19 “Punish the unbelievers with garments of fire, hooked iron rods, boiling water; melt their skin and bellies.”
Koran 47:4 “Do not hanker for peace with infidels; behead them when you catch them.”
Google “The Koran” and look them up. This protest is a “wake up to what Islam is about”, Islam is this a religion of peace or of hate you tell me

Hello, you are completely mis-interpeting The Quran scriptures… I hope you take a little time to read this and inform yourself correctly, God bless

Well that just put it all out there didn’t it. The big, ugly, truth, of the religion of peace
Lisa says
here, we can all update ourselves….This is our Charter of Freedom and Rights for all Canadians … We live in a Great Country …. Canada is a secular but pluralistic society. This means that while the state does not enforce religion, it does not stand in the way of those who want to practise it.
Section 2 of the Canadian Charter Of Rights And Freedoms protects “freedom of religion.” If Muslim students – or any students, for that matter – want space to pray, schools cannot stand in the way of their right to practise their faith.
