Imagine if a “right-wing extremist,” say, a white supremacist, had killed three people in London yesterday. Do you think Canada would have today passed a motion condemning a “phobia” of white supremacists?
The supporters of the Canadian bill condemning “Islamophobia” insist that it will not restrict the freedom of speech, but interim Conservative Leader Rona Ambrose was more realistic: she said that she was concerned that charges of “Islamophobia” would be used “to intimidate rather than to inform,” and added: “I do worry that some of my work trying to empower women and girls in Muslim communities could be branded as ‘Islamophobic’ if I criticize practices that I believe are oppressive.”
Of course she is absolutely right. That is exactly what happened to Pamela Geller and me when we held a conference about honor killing, and when we tried to run ads in Edmonton offering help to women and girls who were threatened. This “non-binding” motion will have a chilling effect on speech, and will work toward intimidating into silence anyone who dares to speak out against Canada’s suicidal refugee policies, seditious activity in mosques, Sharia oppression of women taking place in Canada, and more. If it isn’t overturned, it will lead ultimately to new and binding laws that will be the end of Canada as a free society. Establishing a particular group as beyond criticism is laying the groundwork for tyranny.
“House of Commons passes anti-Islamophobia motion,” CBC News, March 23, 2017:
The House of Commons has passed M-103, a non-binding motion condemning Islamophobia and religious discrimination.
All NDP and nearly all Liberal MPs supported the motion, which passed 201-91. The majority of Conservative MPs voted against, with leadership candidate Michael Chong and Simcoe North MP Bruce Stanton voting in favour. Mississauga Liberal MP Gagan Sikand and Barrie Conservative MP Alex Nuttall both abstained.
The vote follows months of bitter debate and a series of protests and counter-protests across the country over whether the private member’s motion would limit free speech or single out Islam for special treatment in Canadian law.
It had additional symbolic significance in the emotional aftermath of the Jan. 29 mosque shooting in Quebec City, where six Muslim men were killed.
The motion was tabled by Mississauga-Erin Mills Liberal MP Iqra Khalid on Dec. 5, 2016. She spoke to reporters after the motion passed Thursday.
“I’m really happy that the vote today has shown positive support for this motion and I’m really looking forward to the committee taking on this study,” she said.
Khalid’s motion calls on the government to do three things:
Condemn Islamophobia and all forms of systemic racism and religious discrimination.
Quell the increasing public climate of hate and fear.
Compel the Commons heritage committee to develop a government-wide approach for reducing or eliminating systemic racism and religious discrimination, including Islamophobia.The latter would require the heritage committee to collect data on hate crime reports, conduct needs assessments for affected communities and present findings within eight months.
Liberals rejected an attempt by Saskatchewan Conservative MP David Anderson to remove the word “Islamophobia” from the motion and change the wording to “condemn all forms of systemic racism, religious intolerance and discrimination of Muslims, Jews, Christians, Sikhs, Hindus and other religious communities.
Anderson argued Islamophobia was not defined in Khalid’s motion, and that its inclusion contributed to widespread confusion and fears about the effect on freedom of speech….

At least Mr Trudeau and his fellow workers are working very hard to have themselves voted out of power in the next election.
Michael says
One sometimes wonders if these politicians — just like Obama — are effectively put into office, to do whatever damage to democracy and freedom they inflict. And then they go on their merry way, supported for life, and free to continue their subversive activities once out of office.
We have no doubt that Obama operates behind the scenes. And astoundingly, this country elected, and re-elected, someone raised in Kenya, with a Muslim father, under Muslim teachings and ‘mentors’ — forget the argument for the moment that he is not even an American citizen.
Obama was a complete unknown … and somehow amassed a war chest of over $700 million. Did he really have that kind of popularity? He’s not exactly a riveting speaker.
He did his masters’ bidding. Did immense damage to this country. And he’s gone. Though people here like to talk as though he’s worried about his ‘legacy,’ I think the opposite is true. His legacy is the vast amounts of immigrants — legal and illegal — that came in and that undermine this country one way or the other. The deal with Iran … my god, weapons, billions of dollars.
Trudeau may not make it past next election. But make no mistake, he’s working hard to get his agenda furthered: the installation of Sharia law in Canada. And it begins with the suppression of free speech. That is precisely one of the core tenets of Islam: absolutely no criticism or questioning of the Koran or any of the other un-sacred books.
Fight on every front that you can. As the saying goes, Evil triumphs when good people do nothing.

even an academic discours about the content of the Qoran is now forbidden and one can end up in jail…. as it could be interpreted as “islamophobia.” There is a clear distinction between spreading hatred and an academic dialogue / treatise on its content and possible contradictions in the text. Immams can propagate the killings of Jews and of infidels around the world but I am not allowed to critize the death penalty, like the stoning to death or decapitations (beheadings). I am a member of Amnesty International since my high school times and I am a fervent opponent of the death penalty anywhere in the world or culture. Will now all 4 million members of Amnesty International be convicted for Islamophobia?

Hey Tommy,
You’re obviously a simpleton but that shouldn’t stop you from striving to act more like a properly developed adult.
The first thing you could do is learn the difference between ‘then’ and ‘than’. I know that probably sounds like something beyond your ken, but once it’s over you can tell all your friends and family that you actually learned something.
The next step might involve basic logic so be sure to get a good nights sleep. You live in a country that elected(and re-elected) an Islamic terrorist named Barak Hussien Obama AFTER 9/11. Where were you? Just remember not to ‘slander the prophet of Islam’. By the way, the world would like to thank you for ISIS.
Maybe you should put down the Bud and pretzels for a night and think about ‘unification’ vs ‘division’ as it relates to wartime strategy.
Remember, the Muslims are counting on half-wits like you.

John, I’m somewhat familiar with your health system, as my wife, now in the States, lived in Victoria, and had need of the system a few times. She was paying $75 a month for comprehensive coverage. She did work, as do most Canadians. Your taxes are higher in all kinds of ways. Most things are more expensive. And if you need health care, you have it.
Perhaps the biggest reason why it is so, is that the system has caps for salaries to doctors, and not any treatment is allowed just because it’s available. There is a triage system. You aren’t entitled to the latest and greatest treatment, and any and all experimental treatments. You can get those, at your own expense, with doctors outside the system.
Much of it makes sense. Here, we will not ever cap doctors’ salaries, or limit treatments. It has its upside, and it leaves a lot of people without the care they need. Our system is completely profit-driven. Yours, it seems, is much more humane, is the best way I can put it.
As far as this bill, the vast majority of Canadians were against it. Now it becomes a matter of Canadians standing together, clearly and firmly against Islam, against preachers who preach murder and violence, against any secondary legal system within Canada. Good luck. We are facing the same challenges here. And we CAN stand together for civilization.

Canadian’s usually end up voting to kick people out of office and not so much to vote them in. This is what happened here. Our previous government under Harper started to go rogue. Passing a sleazely omnibus bill c36, which most canucks still.. don’t understand, that bill did away with the law of tresspass. Health canada can tresspass and remove private property without a court order and without a itemized list of seized items. Then bill c51- which allows the police and government to creep on you and your internet without a court order. and a list of other lousy decisions. So harper lost his base supporters. Canadians then joined together and voted ,”Anybody But Conservative (ABC). This how Trudeau got in with a majority government. Canadians didn’t expect JT to be a total islamic apologist or maybe we were blinded by trying to get rid of the last guy. But we are in trouble now and up shitz creek without a paddle. ABL next election if there is anything left to save.
Voytek Gagalka says
Unfortunately “protecting free stuff” is done also in the US, and on much massive a scale. That “gee-me free stuff” philosophy got Obama elected twice while (at that time) Canada had more sane conservative government. I could add also that one of “the last wind” of Obama rule was to elect Trudeau here, so one could say Americans are guilty of that.

If this “Islamophobia bill” includes a desire to “end systemic racism and religious discrimination,” then is Canada finally going to, say, start prosecuting Imams who openly encourage hatred, terrorism, violence and genocide against Jews, homosexuals, Christians, and others in their sermons in Canadian mosques? There was just recently an Imam who was preaching bigotry and violence towards Jewish people in a Montreal mosque, I believe.
Of course, people are right to be very upset about the massacre of Muslims by Alexandre Bissonette in the Quebec City mosque. However, where is the outrage against those imams who preach hatred towards Jews and other groups, which leads to the same kind of violence and murder?

Richie says
what is Islamophobia? There has yet to be a clear defenition. it seems to be whatever offends Muslims. Using that logic the existance of different religions could be called Islamophobic. I was under the assumption there was free speech in Canada- apparent not.
somehistory says
According to the oic guys who made up the word, it is exactly what you wrote: “the existence of different religions.”
When the oic was working with h. clinton to find a way to shut the mouths of people like Mr. Spencer, and Ms. Geller, and clinton came up with the “shaming” thingy, they wanted to *stop* criticism of “religion” but they define “religion” as islam only.
So, you are right. They want to eliminate all other belief and to have islam be the only *religion* on earth…and until then, they preach the oft …sickeningly often…repeated phobia business.
As others have said, a phobia is an illness of sorts and is not to be prosecuted. But moslims are really stupid along with their arrogance, and put phobia with their evil beast’s name and have been trying to impose it as a criminal offense since then. All so islam will be the only religion.
Walt says
Hey there Ritchie, People are just trying to confuse the issue, Islamophobia has a definition – Oxford dictionary – Dislike of or prejudice against Islam or Muslims, especially as a political force. The reason the pro m103 proponents would not change out Islamophobia with a correct term of anti-muslim bigotry is. they want to make sure there is a written questionable basis to include Islam “the religious ideology” in any future protection (s) that they might pass.***Notice*** if you remove “or muslims” from this definition, you will see what they really want. Its Not even hate speech, you just need to dislike Islam . So yes, if you say their prophet sucked eggs, they would be offended and you would be guilty. This is a motion at this moment not a law, but these political peckerwood’s need to go.
Jose Luis Toledo says
In my opinion the new law M103 is unconstitutional, and what we need now is a good, expert attorney in Constitutional Law who is willing and able to start, on his own, an appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada.

All religions in the US can apply for tax deferment and it was even granted for “the after school satanic club” under the Obummer administration. Which I detest as much as Islam.
This is obviously nowhere near the same since it disallows individuals from speaking out. We need free speech for exactly the purpose of citing inappropriate, rude and violent oppressive behavior, not just for when things are rosey and you have a different opinion about minimum wage. Stifling!
Curious Observer says
Reason and common sense suggest that there is a deliberate globalist agenda to bring Islam into the West and everywhere else. Starting from this hypothesis, the next question then becomes: Why is this being done? Several possibilities suggest themselves and perhaps all of them are in play.
First, muslims are much easier to manipulate than those from other religions like Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism etc. Give muslims Islam and they ask for very little else. Look at the tiny Islamic kingdom of Brunei, an oil-rich country ruled by the Sultan of Brunei. The Sultan. his family and extended family lead lives of utter debauchery and in complete violation of Sharia law. However, the common person in Brunei is held to the dictates of Sharia, with limbs cut off for violations, with public flogging for proscribed offenses and other atrocious penalties. Yet, these common folk seem perfectly happy with their lot in life and with the lifestyle of their Sultan.
Second, Islam is a political ideology masquerading as a religion. In Islam, State and Religion are inseparable. Loyalty to Islam is synonymous with loyalty to the government or the Head of State. In Islam, a muslim feels greater loyalty to his religion than he does to his own parents, his own wife and children, his friends and his neighbors. Therefore, it is much easier to mold the muslim mind into loyalty towards a “one-world” government than it is to similarly indoctrinate people of other religions.
Finally, a muslim makes for a good, unthinking and unquestioning soldier for the State if he is told that he is fighting to protect Islam. Hitler himself displayed sentiments along this line when he expressed regret that Germany was a Christian nation rather than an Islamic one. Thus, a “one-world” government can count on its muslim subjects to kill or be killed by a government-designated enemy so long as that enemy can be convincingly portrayed as an enemy of Islam or more fashionably as “Islamophobic”.
Finally, the globalists know full well that the widespread influx of Islam into Christian cultures creates the ideal conditions for chaos, violence and anarchy (recall the struggle between these two religions during the Crusades), thus providing the globalists with the perfect pretext for initially imposing martial law, then servitude upon the masses of people and finally exterminating much of humankind.
If the above reasons are indeed the forces underpinning the worldwide governmental impetus towards Islam then both, the muslim and non-muslim worlds need to grasp this reality, stop treating each other as the enemy and redirect their hostility towards the globalist cabal infesting most governments today. Otherwise, both sides are unwittingly hastening their own demise at the hands of this cabal.
common sense says
May I kindly say that The Allied Forces wished that Hitler’s soldiers were Islamic as well. They are soft compared to an SS soldier or avg German if all these pussy ass back attacks are any indication, and they gave up en masse against us in Desert Storm. Martyring your men gains no fierce allegiances. Salidin let his men die at Acres when Richard the Lionheart could not keep his Muslim prisoners he slaughtered them. He gave Saludin plenty of deals to get them back. Then later at Jaffa Salidin’s much larger force would not attack Richard’s men, even with great promise of high reward. Muslim soldiers historically don’t match up BECAUSE of their weak system, it’s why they use these tactics of infiltration. There simply are not enough hard core Jihadis out there to square up with us. Hijrah is their way, then crying, lying and back attacking.
1 American soldier is worth 10 Jihadis and 1 American speicial ops warrior us worth 100 Jihadis.
Population replacement won’t work, the avg American has fire arms and we talk out loud, the pussification of our men does appear to be problematic. The problem there is gay men are not all “pussified” and can be just as fierce in battle as anyone. Note that many gays took up fire arms training after the Orlando massacre, we have a great unseen strength in this country.
Snoflakes are the real problem AKA democrats. Democrat polly’s are just plain stupid, look at Pelosi they have no real leadership skills.

Those persons are not *using* Islam. I would say Islam is using *them*. Certainly in the case of Prince Charles I would say he is being *used*; fooled, lured, seduced, deceived.

Islamophobia laws are Islamic blasphemy and apostasy laws rolled into one.
::
In Canadian mosques Muslim imams repeatedly call for the killing of Jews and non-Muslims, with impunity. Likely, the person who raises concerns over Islamic-religious incitement to violence, will instead come under scrutiny of Canada’s new “Islamophobia” law – themselves.
Islamophobia described as anyone who dislikes Islam – raises huge freedom of religion, conscience and speech issues.
Westman says
It can’t happen in the US because of the establishment of religion constitutional prohibition. Treating Islam in any special way would be the establishment of religion. Thank god the founding fathers realized that religion must be kept in private institutions and not in government.
Now Europe, which effectively in practice is no longer Christian, neither has any legal basis to stop jihad or any religious incentive to do it. They are ignorant of both Christian and Islamic Ideology. Many won’t believe it’s happening when civil war breaks out. At the time of the Sarajevo Olympics no one thought it would be a site of war.

Imams in Canada, the U.S. and elsewhere who incite hatred, terrorism, murder and genocide against non-Muslims (or even against Muslims of other sects) should be charged with hate crimes, and face jail time and possible deportation (if they were born in another country). Also, mosques which continually and knowingly employ such preachers, should be closed down and perhaps even demolished.
bernie says
(I meant, “Imams in Canada, the U.S. and elsewhere in the West who incite hatred, etc.” However, there are even non-Western, majority non-Muslim nations such as Japan, that aren’t putting up with Islamofascist and jihadist incitement, which is great.)

Denial of the truth. Suppression of news and identities concerning Muslim perpetrators. Inappropriate touching of women and girls in schools and pools. Sensationalizing news reports of individuals who act in an “islamophobic” way (unless they are later discovered to be Muslim). Muslim prayers in public schools. Formerly few failed terror attacks likely becoming real terror attacks greater in number. Never really defining “islamophobia.” Whitewashed history texts propagandizing schoolchildren. Too much of an ignorant and apathetic populace to realize what is happening. A well organized and surprisingly effective political Islam machine. Turning defensive military bases into refugee camps. Citizens paying for “religious texts” containing words that are truly hateful toward them. A leader who has taken a stance far from the founding principles of his country. More general apathy except by the alarmed few who realize the irreversible colonization taking place. A once great people being supplanted by others with a systematically proven method to do so. A once true, strong and free country being fundamentally transformed into the opposite in an unrelenting manner.
This is Canada today. On this trajectory you will not want to see what is going to happen in even a couple of generations. Beware when Islam subsumes into liberalism. Beware.

You are doing your job to inform. Stay safe and remind people to get the factual information, not the outreach done to deceive and silence Canadians. Sharia is the enforcement of bad ideas such as hate speech.
Matthieu Baudin says
…”Establishing a particular group as beyond criticism is laying the groundwork for tyranny…”
Coming so close after the Jihadi storming of the Canadian Parliament one wonders whether this represents a grand act of appeasement. Perhaps the British will follow the Canadian example with its own display of servile defeatism dressed up as progressive inclusivity.
underbed cat says
If London citizens can vote in a muslim mayor….who presented himself as professional, and most likely pleaded that there is no connection of terror to islam, and most are peaceful, it only follows that the same persuasion was used in Canada. The mosque outreach worked as planned. If they knew that the sura’s allow deception, even describe it to be used to spread islam, and that it is their duty to strike terror into the hearts of unbelievers, they may have been able to conclude that it is not radicalized but normative scripture….things may have turned out different. But Londoners have been targeted for deception so that in the environment of knowledge bubbling up to change the fantasy, and a new mayor as appealing as Obama, it certainly was a win. Deception works and will never be known if people are not allowed factual information. The knowledge is now criminalized even as recent car drives off the road…eventually, this event will bring out nothing but more fantasy. But it was not fantasy by the souls who lost their lives, and the injured.
bernie says
The current London mayor once referred to moderate Muslims as “Uncle Toms,” and has said that the threat of terrorist attacks is “part and parcel with living in any big city.” There are a number of governments in large cities (including Tokyo) which would beg to disagree.

Okay, that THAT FREAKING DOES IT! I am printing a copy of this article and taking it to the office of my so-called Member of Parliament Liberal Marco Mendocino Eglinton-Lawrence (Toronto) which fortunately is just a few blocks drive for me. I will inform this traitor and his boss zoolander in no uncertain terms exactly what I think of this “legislation” and where they can stuff it. Hopefully I will be allowed to do this as hopefully this is still a free country (for now at least)
WTF is wrong with people says
You may want to look at how he voted first. A group of conservatives forced it to be recorded so that the people could have record confirmation on who was for or against. It was printed in quite a few different articles today.
J_not_a says
Just so every one here knows, zoolander Justine selfie queen only got 38 % of the vote in the election with our dumb first past the post system election. Most of us hate his guts and can’t wait to get rid of him.
Dum Spiro says
Hopefully you can vote in a better PM. What happens if/when your newcomer citizens vote liberal as a bloc and outnumber you, especially if those like you are complacent and/or uninterested?
Petition e-411, which was unanimously endorsed by the Parliament, suggests that attributing terrorism to Islam is Islamophobia.
If I were a Christian in Canada, I would be praying a lot with others. It’s not too late…

Oh Canada song is now Oh Islam. no one dares speaks against Islam, just hung themselves for passing M103. Explains the surge in Muslims passing into the border.
The maple leaf is now the crescent.
Dum Spiro says
Someone once suggested these new lyrics:
O Cannabis, let’s have a few more drags,
True lesbian love, for all thy gays and fags,
With elbows strong we march along,
And smash our women down,
Sharia law, that’s our new song,
It’s sung by our top clown.
Allah keep our mosques, jihad eternally,
O Cannabis we take a toke for thee,
O Cannabis we take a toke for thee.

A SIMPLE 5 POINT PLAN FOR MUSLIMS TO END “ISLAMOPHOBIA”
(courtesy of Robert Spencer
(peace and blessings be upon him!))
MUSLIMS SHOULD:
1: FOCUS ON VIOLENT MUSLIMS
Focus their indignation on Muslims committing violent acts in the name of Islam, not on non-Muslims reporting on those acts.
2: RENOUNCE EFFORTS TO INSTALL SHARIA IN NON-MUSLIM COUNTRIES
Renounce – definitively – not just terrorism, but any intention to replace the US Constitution, or the British constitution, or the constitutions of any non-Muslim state with Islamic sharia law – even by peaceful means.
3: TEACH MUSLIMS ABOUT PEACEFUL COEXISTENCE
Teach Muslims the imperative of coexisting peacefully – as equals – with non-Muslims on an indefinite basis.
4: TEACH AGAINST JIHAD AND ISLAMIC SUPREMACISM
Begin comprehensive international programs in mosques all over the world to teach against the ideas of violent jihad and Islamic supremacism.
5: HELP IDENTIFY JIHADISTS IN THE WEST
Actively work with Western law enforcement officials to identify and apprehend jihadists within Western Muslim communities.
If Muslims will do these five things – voila – “Islamophobia” will vanish…

Michael says
Reading ‘Allah is Dead: Why Islam is not a religion.’ Just at a point, about half way through, and she’s talking about the suppression of free speech as the beginning of the end in the battle with Islam:
“Freedom of expression, which is simply the ‘clothing’ of freedom of thought, is the cornerstone and basis of all real freedom, and it is exactly that freedom which is targeted by Islam, which, as is widely known, prohibits any criticism of itself by prescribing death for blasphemy (criticism of Islam or Mohammad) and for apostasy (leaving Islam).
“Thus, if Muslims can succeed in disallowing criticism of Islam in the West through the use of hate speech legislation, they will have effectively bound the Western world philosophically and imprisoned the Western genius, so Islam’s ultimate ascendancy will simply be a matter of time. Thus, the must be drawn at freedom of speech and the press, or it cannot be drawn anywhere.”
Timely warning, not just to Canada, but to those of us in the U.S. and elsewhere.
patriotliz says
First mistake was Western Civilization giving Islam the status of a “religion” rather than regarding Mohammad, its founder, in the same category as Genghis Khan or Attila the Hun.
Michael says
patriotliz, I agree. A murderer, whose directives and commands are the death of all non-believers, or submission with that cool little tax … how this ever was described as a religion, I don’t know. A religion of death and murder and violence? I don’t think we use ‘religion’ to describe such things.
Michael says
Reading an article about a petition being circulated in Canada to specifically state the Sharia law is never to exist in Canada.
The article is well worth the read.
https://www.spencerfernando.com/2017/03/17/petition-sharia-law-spreading-across-canada/
Hopeful that people are paying attention there, and I hope we do likewise. As he points out, Sharia law currently co-exists in Britain!
“The United Kingdom has enshrined Sharia principles in their legal system. As reported by Michael Coren, the law regarding Sharia (which applies separately to Muslims in the UK) states “The male heirs in most cases receive double the amount inherited by a female heir of the same class. Non-Muslims may not inherit at all, and only Muslim marriages are recognized.”
As Coren notes, “what begins in Britain tends to influence other nations, in particular English-speaking nations and especially countries with a British legal precedent and a Commonwealth tradition. In other words, there’s a good chance it will come to Canada and activists are already pushing for it.”
That’s a good reason for a petition on the issue, and speaks to the importance of making sure it gains many signatures.”
Even Bill Maher sees, and speaks plainly against, Sharia. As he says, he’s not against Muslim people per se, he’s against bad ideas, and Sharia law is a very bad idea.
Jack Diamond says
It’s not a bad idea to Muslim people. In fact, it is not an “idea” at all. It is Allah’s Law, which would be a more understandable term for people to hear then “Sharia.” It might help them understand that Allah’s law is not tangential to Islam, it is synonymous with Islam. All true Muslims follow this Islam. And while the demands for Allah’s law start with things small and seemingly inconsequential, they never cease. Because they are a complete and all-inclusive way of life (and of governing) and because they are in permanent conflict with the man-made laws and renegade ways of the Infidels, whom Allah hates–and punishes through Muslim people.
Speaking against “Sharia” and pretending you are not speaking against Islam and all true Muslims is folly. The Muslims know you are, which is why they scream Islamophobic bloody murder. You should know you are too. Remember, Jihad war and Hijrah colonization and al-wala wal baraa–enmity and hate toward the disbelievers–are also part of this Allah’s Law, not just rules governing inheritance.
Michael says
I certainly agree with everything you say, Jack Diamond. ‘Islam,’ ‘Islamists,’ moderate, extreme, Sharia, the Koran, Allah — they are all one thing: death to infidels until Islam is the world religion. And complete subjugation of anyone remaining. Death of all intellectual inquiry.
While I sometimes think the situation is so very dire — and it is alarming — I take hope, too, that the dissemination of information, so people truly see what Islam is, takes hold, and people do what we need to stand: stand together, and absolutely oppose Islam.
I was talking with a barista last night at Starbucks when I stopped to get a coffee. I’ve known him for a long time. He’s 38. Off the cuff, he said, ‘Don’t you think of papers stopped publishing articles of these terror attacks, like the one in London, they might just go away? If they don’t get the attention, they’ll quit!’
I said, they aren’t doing it for attention. They’re doing it because that is what they are commanded to do. We talked for awhile. He’s ignorant of Islam. Perhaps in the 10 minutes or s we talked, I gave him a very different perspective. I said Islam is a very, very scary ideology. It is a very big threat. Maybe some of it will take hold.
But I was surprised to hear him say that these attacks are for attention, that if they just didn’t get attention, they would go away. I don’t think that’s the case with these peace loving folks.
Dum Spiro says
Khalid would probably succeed in showing that that’s discriminatory. Obviate and preclude that by legally codify the banning of all law but Canadian law…

Michael says
Much better. No law except Canadian law. Period. Anyone who tries to establish any other form of law? Then face the penalties of traitors and subversives.
Holy Tshinge Maduha Ncube says
Welcome to the Islamic Republic of Canada led by the Sharia Council of Grand Mullah Trueadu. This is very sad. This imbecile Trudeau has handed our country to the muslim barbarians and their pedophile fake prophet mahmad and their devil god allah. .Now that they they have put their foot in the door, they will try to push the whole way in…..To all my fellow Canadians, next election lets vote this weed drunk and brainless scum Trudeau out at next elections. .. WE DONT WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS FILTH OF ISLAMOPHOBIA AND SHARIA AND ISLAM THE INTOLERANT , RETROGRESSIVE, BARBARIC IDEOLOGY. NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Karen G says
Sign the petition against shariah law in Canada.
Thousands of Canadians are signing petition e-909 on the government’s petitions website. It reads like a direct response to certain concerns about M-103, calling upon the government to propose an amendment to the Constitution Act “stating that Shariah Law or separate Shariah family courts will never have a place in the Canadian Justice System
https://petitions.parl.gc.ca/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-909
Please forward it to others and post on FB.
Jairalee says
Looks like the #M103 motion is going forward making it one GIANT step forward to ending free speech and the beginning of an avalanche of sharia in Canada

Too bad Trudeau wasn’t back-packing with his brother in B.C. a few years ago.

Yes True a pity.
John A. Marre says
This is to put Canadians in jail for complaining as the Muslims move in to Canada and progressively implement Sharia law, all the while taking away more and more of the rights of real Canadians.
John says
Real Canadians should unite to fight for own rights. It is necessary to come together to express own existence and be proud of it.
Every real Canadian should exercise rights in own country. Unite together to have strong voice and right to oppose to restricting freedom imposed by irresponsible MP’s.
VaRhona Wright says
It is just motion. A motion is not a law. It is a waste of tax payers money but still just a declaration, at this time because we already have hate laws that cover it.
VaRhona Wright says
It is a motion not a law. The difference is that a law is binding and a motion is a declaration that wastes tax payers money.
JCCourt says
“Canadian House of Commons passes “anti-Islamophobia” motion”
Does this vote imply that Canadians condone all atrocities done in God’s name? Thanks.
Elizabeth Thorne says
You can go to On The Hill website and see who all voted for the motion, tell your friends to vote them out. I think it is too late. This wonderful country has been sold out to Islam. Take a look at what the prominent Imam in London, Ontario is saying on his facebook page. Hibz ut-Tahrir is very active in Canada. The world has gone mad.
gravenimage says
Canada is still just 3.2% Muslim. There is still time to save that great country, if proud Canadians stand up.
Michael says
As the saying goes with which we’re all familiar … evil triumphs when good men and women do nothing. And Islam is evil. And it is up to all of us to stand up, speak up, band together. As someone posted on the site a few days ago, this is not a battle OF civilizations. This is a battle FOR civilization.

The Swedes are outraged, being overtaken by the Canadians who are late-comers, as far they are concerned! No fair, no fair!!!

The religion of peace, in Jakarta … protesting the construction of a Catholic church, in an area where there are — gasp! –12,000 Catholics left. We might worry for their continued existence.
http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2017/03/24/police-fire-tear-gas-on-muslims-protesting-church-in-bekasi.html
Let’s see. Do NOT allow any criticism — is even ‘discussion’ allowed? — of Islam. While they protest, to start with … the construction of a Catholic church.
No hypocrisy. Just evil cunning on their part. Part of their duty per the ‘oh so sacred’ murderous Koran on how and where and when (always and everywhere) to kill infidels.
Dum Spiro says
A good summary…

GuruTulu says
White Supremacist are not made up of some political religious members as the Muslims number close to a billion world wide. White Supremacist are not even close to 1 million and they are not affiliated with any type of religion what so ever and most are anti government.
Do not allow any foreigners who come from countries in which they are fleeing to bring their laws over into any European /Canadian or American soil…otherwise our grandchildren will be fleeing to another country down the road…
Noel Hershfield says
Phobia means an irrational fear.Islamophobia means an irrational fear of Islam.It does not mean hatred of Islam!with most of the slaughter in our world today being perpetrated by Admitted Islamic screaming Allan Akbar,it is rational to fear them.So if I state that I am afraid of these maniacs,am I to be labeled a racist? Our dumb parliamentarians should read their dictionaries! And why did they not include all religions in the bill? And these are the leaders of our country? Not very breassuring!
VaRhona Wright says
It isn’t a binding law. A motion is a basically a declaration. Just a waste of tax payers hard earned money. There are already hate crime laws that cover it.
Stacy says
Canada is not about these extreme practices. Stop sheltering for the sake of a Liberal vote!!! What’s the reason for not putting the Lord’s Prayer back in the school system effective immediately ??? Because we Christians no longer count!! My comments don’t reflect racism either they are my spiritual beliefs and they deserve to be recognized.
