A conference entitled “M-103: Islamophobia Cure or Shariah Trap?” will take place in Toronto this Sunday. The event is organized by a group called Canadian Citizens for Charter Rights and Freedoms (C3RF). Speakers include Dr. Bill Warner, Leo Adler, Deborah Weiss, Anthony Furey, Raheel Raza, Yusif Celik, Anni Cyrus and others. But “organizers are not publicly revealing its location. Anti-fascist activists, known as Antifa, have already threatened to disrupt the event and intimidate participants.”
Canada is in a crisis over “anti-Islamophobia” motion M-103. Last March, Liberal MP Iqra Khalid’s “anti-Islamophobia” motion M-103 passed the House of Commons, even though a poll indicated that this was not what most Canadians wanted. Canadians were duped by this motion, which had questionable origins, intimating an agenda which has no place in a democracy. The majority vote for the motion was along party lines, with only two Conservative MPs voting for it: Bruce Stanton and Michael Chong.
Although M-103 is not binding legislation, it was followed up with a Heritage Committee study “to look at the issue and then report back with a recommendations that could be used to create legislation within 240 days…The Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage is made up of 10 people, six of whom are Liberals. There is a Liberal chair, Hedy Fry, and then there is one Conservative and one NDP deputy chair.” Public hearings were part of this study.
One of the groups that applied to be included in that hearing was Canadian Citizens for Charter Rights & Freedoms (C3RF), a non-partisan group formed by a sizeable number of concerned citizens following the passage of M-103. C3RF’s request to serve as a witness and share its views in the hearings was rejected. Now, this C3RF conference is intended to raise awareness and educate people about the implications of M-103, and “prepare the groundwork for a political push against what they believe is legislation that will at some point restrict Canadians’ freedoms and perhaps lay the groundwork for the introduction of Islamic Shariah law in Canada.” But event organizers are reporting threats of violence, a further indication of how divisive Motion M-103 is in Canada. According to David Nitkin, a spokesman for and cosponsor of the conference:
Antifa has used voice mail messages and emails to threaten to go to locations where the conference is being held and “smash” the venues, in order to prevent the conference from proceeding.
Valerie Price, Director of ACT! for Canada, is also a cosponsor of the event. When I asked her if she would consider either cancelling or postponing the event because of threats from Antifa, she replied:
No way is this going to happen if I have anything to say about it. What are we supposed to do – lie down and roll over and surrender every time we are threatened by Antifa? This conference is about free speech and freedom of association. How is this hateful? What is truly hateful is their threatening behaviour and what they should understand is that we don’t preach hate – we expose it. Maybe that’s what they don’t like. This event WILL go on.
Price continued:
When the Heritage Committee refuses to allow C3RF to make a presentation before them, we will still be there. When they try to impose restrictions on free speech with their blasphemy laws, we will be there. We are not going anywhere. We will become their conscience. We must defeat Motion M- 103.
Canada also has anti-Islamophobia Charters in six Canadian cities, which the National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM), the former CAIR-CAN, worked for. “Islamophobia” is an Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) term used to describe anti-Muslim bigotry, which should be countered, but also criticism of Islam that is deemed offensive to Muslims, whether or not it is true or accurate. The OIC seeks to play “an active role in presenting a bright and positive image of Islam and member countries of the organization, while realizing the goals of Islamic unity.” This endeavor to present a positive image of Islam involves shutting down anything remotely critical of human rights abuses resulting from Sharia norms.
Turkish despot Recep Tayyip Erdogan has declared that “Islamophobia” is the same as anti-Semitism, and so in his view, Islamophobia should be declared a crime against humanity. Anti-Semitism is based on pure hatred of the Jewish people simply because they are Jewish; the Holocaust was an attempt to “exorcise the Jewish spirit from the world,” according to Professor Dan Michman of the International Institute for Holocaust Research. By contrast, “Islamophobia” is a trumped-up word with no clear definition. A former Imam and member of the International institute for Islamic Thought, Abdur-Rahman Muhammad, referenced the Islamophobia “canard” as a “loathsome term” which is “nothing more than a thought-terminating cliche conceived in the bowels of Muslim think tanks for the purpose of beating down critics,” and that is precisely what is happening already in Canada:
- A peaceful free-speech rally against M-103 was shut down in Grand Prairie and deemed a hate rally.
- A gay Iranian Muslim was banned from entering his anti-Sharia float in the Vancouver Pride Parade.
- My federal appointment with the Canadian Race Relations Foundation (CRRF) is under scrutiny by the Heritage Department because I write for Jihad Watch and report on Islamic supremacist and jihad activity. Spokesperson Amira Elghawaby of the NCCM calls Jihad Watch a “hateful website.” The CRRF is in the Department of Heritage — the same Department that Motion M103 emerges from.
As Robert Spencer noted about the shutting down of the event in Grand Prairie: “Violent Leftists have been brutalizing people who stand for the freedom of speech, and they have friends in the highest places, and so your free speech rally is forbidden.”
True words indeed. Fortunately, there are Canadians who value freedom and so do not believe that the divisive “anti-Islamophobia” motion M-103 has any place in Canada. The same publication—The Canadian Jewish News — that discusses the backlash against the C3RF conference also features a debate about Motion M-103 entitled Should Jews Support M-103. In it, the former CEO of Canadian Jewish Congress, Benjamin Shinewald, unfortunately expresses his support for M-103. Shinewald thinks that the Center for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA) — Canada’s largest Jewish advocacy group — is “twisting itself into a pretzel to oppose this motion.’”
Another former CEO of the Canadian Jewish Congress, Bernie Farber, is on the NCCM website promoting its “Charter for Inclusive Communities,” which includes its aggressive “anti-Islamophobia” drives because of what it claims is an “epidemic of Islamophobia” across the country. Shinewald and Farber would do well to read OIC documents that define clearly what “Islamophobia” is about.
Shinewald also stated:
Canadian Jews should support M-103, plain and simple. And there is one more thing we should do. We should all chill out. After all, nothing of any consequence hangs on this non-binding private member’s motion – that is, with the exception of our collective dignity.
The OIC and Muslim Brotherhood-connected groups and individuals have been energetically pushing “anti-Islamophobia” drives in Canada and globally, but Shinewald thinks we should “chill out.” In the Canadian Jewish News debate, the prominent Canadian businessman, investor and philanthropist Michael Diamond noted rightly of M-103:
If parliament wishes to study the application of our existing hate laws…it should do that. but we should not elevate one group above all others….this effort to cater to Muslims alone has already had a negative and polarizing effect. It will be critical that Canadians focus carefully on what transpires next. A motion is not law, but it begins an important process. And what comes of that process could weaken the fabric of our society and divide us, instead of pulling us together.
Canada is doomed to a future of strife because of Islamic supremacist forces and Antifa if these anti-democratic forces are not opposed now. Unfortunately, the current Canadian government is enabling such divisions. We hope the C3RF’s freedom conference will be a great success, and will attract more attendees in the midst of the hatred and intimidation that are being directed against it. Police and security personnel will be present. More information here.
“Anti-M-103 Conference Faces Backlash, Threats of Violence,” by Paul Lungen, Canadian Jewish News, September 5, 2017:
When Parliament passed M-103, the motion that condemned Islamophobia without defining it, its proponents assured Canadians it would not change Canadian law, or in any way lead to restrictions on freedom of speech.
Opponents of the motion remain unconvinced, and on Sept. 10, they will convene a nationwide conference to voice their concerns and prepare the groundwork for a political push against what they believe is legislation that will at some point restrict Canadians’ freedoms and perhaps lay the groundwork for the introduction of Islamic Shariah law in Canada.
The conference, titled, “M-103: Islamophobia Cure or Shariah Trap?” will take place in Toronto on Sept. 10, from 1-5 p.m. and will be simulcast online to a variety of venues across the country. Organizers are not publicly revealing its location. Anti-fascist activists, known as antifa, have already threatened to disrupt the event and intimidate participants, said David Nitkin, a spokesperson for Canadian Citizens for Charter Rights & Freedoms (C3RF), one of the co-sponsors of the conference.
Joining C3RF in promoting the conference are a variety of advocacy groups, including ACT! For Canada, Canadians for the Rule of Law, Hasbara Fellowships Canada, Israel Activist Alliance, Mozuud Freedom Foundation, Muslim-Jewish Dialogue, Muslims Facing Tomorrow, Stop Sponsoring Hatred and Tazpit Press Service.
Nitkin said antifa has used voice mail messages and emails to threaten to go to locations where the conference is being held and “smash” the venues, in order to prevent the conference from proceeding.
Conference organizers believe that the House of Commons heritage committee, which was mandated by M-103 to address “systemic racism” and the issue of Islamophobia, will propose changes to Canadian law that will criminalize criticism of Islam and pave the way for greater application of Shariah law in Canada. C3RF is worried that Canada could follow the lead of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, which defines “Islamophobia” as “an excessive fear against Islam and anything associable with Islam.” On its website, C3RF says that this definition is worrisome because “anything associable with Islam” would include Shariah slander laws, which stand in opposition to Canadian values.
When criticism of Islam is treated as blasphemy, any parliamentary move to address Islamophobia will necessarily lead to the suppression of free speech, Nitkin said.
Rights belong to individuals, not ideologies, Nitkin said. Furthermore, there is no evidence of widespread crimes directed at Muslims. Three times more hate crimes are directed at Jews than at Muslims, even though there are nine times as many Muslims in Canada, he said.
Ben Dichter, one of the expected speakers at the conference, said he believes M-103 could lead “to Canada’s first blasphemy law.”……
Andy says
This is what you get from left liberals who own just about all the media outlets today and have taken over public institutions are people saying if it doesn’t fit there narrative, You’re a Racist, A Bigot, An Islamaphobe a Warmonger and so on and on.
You can’t have a real debate or talk common sense issues at hand with people who constantly yell at you their mantra of hate and shut you down at every turn, People who want to talk at universities today can’t because if it again, doesn’t fit the narrative of that establishment, you won’t have a platform to speak..!
Bev says
Canada either wake up or enjoy the jihad.
mariam rove says
It seems they rather enjoy Jihad. M
Kiki says
Antifa’s violence and intimidation tactics are a disgrace to liberty and free-speech/free-expression.
They are disgraces to most liberals, just as the KKK is a disgrace to most conservatives.
Sadly, all we ever hear about are the extremists groups–it is important to know about them, yes, but I worry that with so much focus on them, people assume most Americans support these groups.
But I know conservatives who would never support the KKK, and I know many liberals who are disgusted with Antifa and their ideas to censor everyone they don’t agree with. We all need to keep alert because of the extremists on both sides, but we also need to remember that most Americans aren’t the crazy KKK or Antifa marchers we see in the news.
The extremists get a lot more attention, but there are calmer, moderate people on each side too, whose voices aren’t often heard.
Kiki says
I know the article is about Canada, but a lot of the story reminded me of America’s struggles right now.
mortimer says
The government of Canada led by Sharia-supporting Liberals is actually promoting Islam in Canada. The Liberals may be associating with and helping Antifa so they may do the government’s dirty work of destroying freedom of expression in Canada.
No Liberal member of Parliament has spoken out strongly for freedom of speech. Justin Trudeau is in bed with the Muslim Brotherhood and George Soros.
Cheryl says
George Soros pulls Trudeau’s strings. He is the Master Puppeteer. How this Liberal douche bag pulled the wool over our eyes 2 years ago was nothing less than a Soros/New World Order covert operation. Canada was the target; Trudeau was and IS the weapon. We were played. Time to fight back.
Westman says
Can-ad-uhh-stan. It rolls off the tongue almost as smoothly as Tru-dough. And with enough Tru-dough a Can-ad-uhh-stan can be produced.
Sylvia says
How can this be stopped? I believe there’s a deadline coming up fast in October to do with M-103.
Me thinks a class action lawsuit by the general public needs to be launched against the government in response to any future potential fallout from M-103 and as it would affect the kafir public, physically or otherwise.
We’d need a top notch legal beagle team to work on this. As well, the compensation must astronomically exceed the ‘Omar Khadr’ payout in order for each plaintiff to receive a reasonable settlement above and beyond the legal fees.
I need a new hobby and would happily dedicate time to this. However I do not live in a major city where the lawyers needed most likely are.
Anyone have any suggestions ??
JawsV says
What about Islam’s anti-Jew/Christian bigotry? What do we do about that?
billybob says
Expose it every chance you get.
David M says
Antifa, a bunch of 100 pound Communist weaklings who say they are ant-fascist, then go around violently shutting down anyone who opposes their views, the very definition of fascism. Also funded by a real Nazi collaborator in George Soros. You couldn’t make this stuff up.
Lydia says
The only blasphemy is the kind against the God of the Bible, not allah or anyone else.
If they drop the word ‘ophobia’ and just leave ‘Anti-islam’, then it’s good.
tedh754@gmail.com says
It’s amazing that antifa doesn’t realize that if the Islamists get their wish and take over, they will be the first ones put to the knife. I wonder if they even care.
More Ham Ed says
“Canada: Antifa threatens to “smash” conference opposing “anti-Islamophobia” motion”
All these double negatives, triple negatives, etc. are getting hard to follow (dry humor).
Poliwatch says
I attended several anti-M103 rallies in Toronto a few months back. Antifa were at each one. They weren’t a big crowd nor scary like in Berkley but mouthy, hateful pigs. Toronto police did an ACE job of keeping them away from us and protecting us. KUDOS to Toronto Police.
Anyway what I really want to point out is that I attended another M103 rally in Brampton which was a group of Indian folks (Hindu I believe) and we marched through Brampton. The thing is that Hindus, Sikhs, many Muslims and others from middle east and other parts of the world came to Canada to get away from being ‘muzzled’ and to gain FREE SPEECH. They too are against Bill M103. They’ve lived in a society where they had their rights violated.
Ethel Red says
I attended Kevin J Johnstons (freedomreport.ca) information meeting in Port Credit which was cancelled at the last moment by the refusal of the Canadian Legion officers at the site for Kevin to use the room he had rented. This refusal was politically motivated by local politicians who have an agenda against Kevin. We held the meeting outside on the sidewalk and had a crowd made up of Wasps, Siks, Hindus,and Orientals and the Police were there to ensure the peace was maintained. Kevin has now been arrested as you probably know for some trumped up hate charge and it was not M-103 as I don’t think they can use that yet. I was glad I attended as it opened up my eyes as to what Trudeau is doing to our country. I am going to the M-103 rally on Sept.8th and I hope many Canadians of all measures can attend. We need more and more involvement and get rid of this Prime Minister in the next election.
dumbledoresarmy says
Good on you, mate!
the more sensible people turn up, the better. Numbers, numbers, numbers, visible numbers, safety in numbers.
If there are LOTS more of you – freedom lovers – than there are antifa, then any one individual among you is that much safer.
Flavius Claudius Iulianus says
I strongly suggest that the organizers of this event (or any other event that is threatened in this way) hire private investigators with telecommunications/IT savvy to root out and identify the perpetrators of these threatening emails and phone messages. The police are not going to lift a finger; the telecoms don’t even lift a finger when it comes to rip off phone calls from India.
Once the perpetrators have been identified, release all the info about them to the public and demand that the authorities do their job. Do this to a half a dozen perpetrators and watch the antifa ranks start to dwindle.
I think it will be money well spent. If you continue to take the shots and hide then how do you expect any of us to want to show our faces at your events? Make life for the perps. miserable; they don’t mind making your life miserable.
Crush the antifa one perp at a time!
RerrickJeckson says
Record, take pictures, unmask. Be careful, they will attack you if they catch you recording them!
Get the information to 4chan so they can dox the Antifas.

I find this news item announcing that an informational session opposing M-103 is going to be made difficult to conduct in 21st century enlightened Canada very troubling…….. especially after both Christine Douglass-Williams and Kevin J. Johnston have been threatened with dire consequences for trying to stand up to the stealth jihad occurring in our country, as a result of M-103, and in North America revealed in the Holy Land Foundation Trial. Their attempts to keep us informed are very much appreciated and should be supported by people of conscience who love the freedom we enjoy.
We should also object to the made-up term “Ïslamophobia” because we are knowledgeable, but I would accept the idea of “Dhimmiphobia” if I can call those who label us Islamophobes ….. “Dhimmis” and point out that the government Legislators are practicing Dhimmitude. In other words they have already laid down and rolled over instead of taking the time to really learn about what is in the Surra and Hadiths that is trying to confound our evolution away from barbarism. The better legislation introduced would be to make sure that freely leaving any religion (although Islam is actually a complete Ideology) is rigorously protected in Canada.
Matthieu Baudin says
“…Canada is doomed to a future of strife because of Islamic supremacist forces and Antifa if these anti-democratic forces are not opposed now. Unfortunately, the current Canadian government is enabling such divisions…”
Unfortunately the current Canadian Government sees increased censorship as the easy option – ‘just put a lid on it!’. Of course they’re weak minded and weak willed and just delaying action for another day – for a future national government. Britain and Canada, the two largest Commonwealth Nations have succumbed to JELLYFISHITUS and are flailing around pathetically without any spine and without any rudder for the ship of state.
Ethel Red says
This is true about the government but the people are fed up with them They started this bullshit with this idiot Trudeau and we Canadians will end it. A lot of us were very naïve about this, but have had our eyes opened up by Trudeaus M-103 and also his rewarding a convicted terrorist with 10.5 million dollars. We now have the leader of the Provincial Conservatives advocating a M-37 brought to him by a Liberal member to Brown and supported by him and he forcing his crew to vote for it as absolutely there were no “NAY” votes. I was so ignorant and also so not involved with what was happening to our country, NO LONGER.
libertyORdeath says
I wouldn’t be all that worried about antifa “smashing” anything. They have shown in recent “protests” in the US that they are mostly coddled ignorant young white kids who are only good at shouting from the ivory tower about things they dislike.
Some good info can be obtained by watching them in action in videos like the ones in Charlottesville and Berkeley amongst others. It’s pretty obvious to me that a firm police and security presence backed by the warriors of freedom in the counter jihad would be more than sufficient to handle these wannabe revolutionaries.
If u doubt the weakness of antifa, just check out the video of one of them sucker punching RICHARD Spencer awhile ago. It’s laughable to watch that kids incredibly weak attack on an unsuspecting individual. Imagine what will happen when members of the counter jihad are actually paying attention lol!
Ethel Red says
Unfortunately sometimes these Antifa cowards do get people in terrible situations when one of their goons finds Kevin J Johnston (freedomreport.ca) in an Ottawa restaurant and he and his cameraman leave to go to an event in the city and he is ambushed by about 40 of them and they both suffer serious injuries. Some were arrested and as Kevin stated they were sitting in a Police cruiser crying because they had been arrested. Another rented bus was ambushed near Kingston as they stopped to pick up more people going to the same event in Ottawa and violently attacked and the bus damaged. All young and very stupid individuals. One day someone is going to have to kill one of these criminals to get it into their heads they are attacking law-abiding citizens, who one day will say enough is enough.
tgusa says
Antifas are sick in the head. All of them deranged in one way or another and to one extent or another. Right now they are gang of mostly pathetic stalkers, a roving band of backstabbing ambushing daylight muggers . The odds they prefer are 10 to 20 of them to one of anyone else (preferably one female). If I were law enforcement (or a peaceable gathering of people) I would be preparing a plan for the day the more dedicated members go off on an unsuspecting peaceable gathering of people in a homicidal rage.
dan christensen says
Who is financing antifa ? Soros ?
David M says
Yes. A man who actually collaborated with the Nazis in WW2 is funding the so called anti-fascist Antifa.
strats4ever says
“so called anti-fascist Antifa.”
Ah yes, the anti-facists who act like Mussolini’s black shirts and Hitler’s brown shirts, suppressing free speech through threats of violence and too stupid to see the irony of their name.
Can’t help but notice that under Canadian law if I protest wearing a Guy Fawkes mask, I risk 10 years. Anitfa can wear black masks and carry weapons without risk. So if my mask signifies I’m against the oligarchs – problem. Work for the oligarchs – no problem, masks, weapons and violence are acceptable.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Declining to enforce the law is a linchpin of liberal progressive strategy. You’d think non-enforcement is regressive. No enforcement at the border; no enforcement against Antifa. It’s apparent that the Virginia governor and Charlottesville mayor chose non-enforcement consciously, hoping for trouble where usually neo-Nazi rallies are tolerated and largely ignored. McCauliffe was hoping for something to whine about, and Trump walked right into it, stupidly thinking that being right mattered when it’s optics that mattered. Optics.
Ewanda says
“JELLYFISHITUS” is another one of those creative words that we come up with to describe the frustration that we are experiencing with our Legislators, fellow citizens who insist on not getting themselves informed, and those who fling the word “racist” at us, who have taken the initiative to become educated about the looming 1400 year continuation of “Islamic self-determination” – as the Imams who follow the Muslim Brotherhood are gently calling it. If we popularize the terms DHIMMI, DHIMMITUDE, DHIMMIPHOBIA, DHIMMI-ITIS, and any other DHIMMI terms we can create, it might serve to rouse the curiosity of those who want to stay “DUMBERS”, as Usama Dakdok calls it, to look into what is actually happening to our Western Civilization and why.
Point out that if you have been designated a DHIMMI, it means that you are a conquered non- person. Let’s help support and publicize “M-103 Islamophobia Cure or Shariah Trap?” as a tremendous opportunity to finally have so many knowledgeable experts here to help Canada out of the growing quagmire. Let’s refuse to be DHIMMIS.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Ten years ago in here there was a debate about whether Islam was aligned with socialism. No more. Btw, I’ve noticed that many in the media like to say that Antifa is an anarchist organization, thus relieving themselves, that’s the media, of ideological connection to the group. Antifa is a socialist outfit, they are not anarchists. Antifa pusues Marxian ideals. Virtually all the media is socialist at its root. Socialism always begets suppression of free speech, violence, and globalism. Thus the socialists are closely aligned with Islam, which is why the number 2 guy at the DNC is one.
Politicianaphobia says
Trudeau is nothing more than a Soros pupet. Omar Alghabra, pro Shari’ah member of parliament, Iqra Khalidm Muslim, introduced M-103, Maryam Monsef, member of parliament, said she was from Afghanistan, but is from Iran. Immigration Minister, Ahmend Hussen. Muruha-“flexibility” or temporary suspension of Shari’ah to make Muslim migrants appear “Moderate” and blend in until Muslims are numerically strong enough to enforce Shari’ah. “They” are working on it and Canadians are waking up slowly. I have my ticket, I will be watching M-103 and God willing many other will. FREEDOM
Politicianaphobia says
Iqra Khalid, should go back to Pakistan if she is not happy in Canada. Muslims do Not belong in parliament. Canadian law is what is what we follow, not Shari’ah.
Godfrey Johnson says
Antifa? Scarcely credible that this organization dubs itself antifascist. Hasn’t it dawned on them yet that they’re the very antithesis of antifascism? In other words they have all the hallmarks of traditional fascism, i.e. that found in the Nazi Sturmabteilung or SA.
“The SA (Sturmabteilung or Storm Detachment) was better known as the Brownshirts or Storm Troopers. From 1921 to 1933 the SA disrupted the meetings of Adolf Hitler’s political opponents as well as defended the halls where Hitler was making a speech in public. According to the Nuremberg Military Tribunal, the SA was made up of ‘ruffians’ and ‘bullies.’ However, it played a very important role in the first years of the Nazi Party.”

To Christine Douglas-Williams, I do hope and pray that your work in reporting to us these things as here which all Canadians ought to know will not cause you to lose the job that you have. My God bless all of the warriors for truth not only to proclaim it, but be willing to suffer for it too, but may it be that that will not be necessary. God bless all of you and God bless our country and especially its clueless leaders.
UNCLE VLADDI says
Since rational people get angry with criminals for their predatory choices, and criminals insist they have no choices because we’re all equally victims who should therefore tolerate the diverse differences between the kind of victim who attacks innocent others first, and those who don’t, they insist pity is always good and anger is always bad.
Since criminals expect that all is generally allowed unless and until it is very specifically disallowed in advance, the only real crime is trying to prevent them from doing whatever they want to do, to whomever they want to do it to, and whenever they want to do it. Such attempts are always seen by them as “mean!” or more recently, “HATEFUL!”
As Robert Spencer noted:
Incitement to violence is easy to spot – but incitement to “hostility” is in the eye of the beholder; so all anti-free-speech initiatives conflate (anti-crime) free speech and even (what they call “hateful”) feelings with actual violent crimes; for instance trying to criminalize speech against a religion or race (say, against someone for their simply noticing that melanin poisoning exists).
The whole notion of “hate-speech” and “hate-crimes” IS a crime! Having “hate” isn’t a criminal act, it’s EITHER the perfectly natural and neutral human response to ongoing injustices, OR it’s a victim-blaming slanderous HABIT; but either way, it’s only an effect, and not a cause of anything. I hate crimes & the criminals who commit them; so what?
So, of course ALL liberal “hate-speech laws” ARE crimes!!!
“The whole concept of “hate speech” (laws against hurt feelings) is political correctness run amok, a leftist anti-free-speech tool that provides an unlimited excuse to shut down and punish anyone who openly disagrees with establishment dicta. Every totalitarian state has similar laws designed to protect the rulers. Such laws have no place in a free society.”
– Patrick1984 –
But Terminiello v. Chicago (1949), Brandenburg v. Ohio (1969), National Socialist Party v. Skokie (1977), R.A.V. v. City of St. Paul (1992), Virginia v. Black (2003), Snyder v. Phelps (2011) These SCOTUS cases show that unpopular speech is still protected speech.
SO: What is “hate-speech” and why should it be considered a crime if it’s NOT already: a) a threat; and b) slander (fraud)?
If it’s not either PHYSICALLY threatening speech – or emotionally threatening BECAUSE it could physically impact one’s life, like how fraudulent slander causes other people to react to one as if one were a criminal in need of hating and beating – then it’s THE TRUTH: and so it SHOULD cause one the emotional distress of ‘hurt feelings!’
So it isn’t objectively “offensive,” but is, in fact, socially beneficial in that it helps defend society from criminals, whether or not said predictably victim-blaming criminal is subjectively “offended” by their victims being notified about THEIR offenses!
Having no facts to justify their aggressive hypocrisy, all criminals will resort to using emotive ‘arguments’ to justify their crimes by playing the victims. So they (liberals, muslims) can be relied on to try to criminalize hurt feelings and to make offending people, (i.e: the criminals, by accusing them of their crimes) illegal, too!
ALL “Hate-Speech Laws” ARE CRIMES!
“Progressive” criminals – who like all criminals desire an equality of outcome over a true equality of opportunity, and to get it will always try to socially engineer ever-more rights and ever-less responsibilities for them selves, by offloading their responsibilities onto their victims by stealing their victims’ rights – pretend to hold submissive masochism as the highest virtue (for their victims to hold, not them) and the ultimate crime to be causing offense and hurting other people’s (criminal’s) feelings, (i.e: by accusing them of their crimes).
So they want to make it illegal to accuse criminals of their crimes, since that might hurt their feelings and in offending them with the often-painful truth, “make” them commit even more crimes!
Is there anything which really ought to qualify as hate speech and be banned?
NO – not because it’s “hateful” (because that sort of nonsense is only making subjective assessments based on emotions;) and “HATE” is really only the perfectly natural human response of perpetual anger towards ongoing crimes (like islam); without ‘hate’ we would never bother to accuse criminals of their crimes in order to stop those crimes.
Unreasonable false displays of hatred and anger on the other hand, are what the Left is good at – but that’s already illegal, not because of the anger displayed – that’s just the outrageous holier-than-thou virtue-signalling packaging used to disguise their preposterous extortion attempts – but because it’s fraudulent slander.
Such criminal leftists who try to make “hate” into a crime, only ever make it ‘illegal’ to hate crime itself!
Speech which is already disallowed is incitement of immediate violence and death-threats … and even those aren’t illegal, if say they call for the police to use violence to counter ongoing mob violence and looting, or call for the death-penalty for murderers!
Further, ALL politicians who craft “hate-speech laws” and ALL cops who arrest people for “hate-speech crimes” and ALL lawyers and judges who prosecute people for them, should themselves be fired and JAILED for putting “hurt feelings” before FACTS!
Especially in the case of islam!
Everyone who defends islam and muslims endorses crime.
Endorsing crime IS a crime, so those doing it are criminals.
Right in the Qur’an is: the permission to murder Jews and Christians (Surah 9:29), to terrorize all non-Muslims (8:12), to rape young girls (65:4), to enslave people for sex (4:3), to lie about one’s true goals (3:54), and the command to make war on all the infidels (9:123) and subjugate the entire world to Allah (9:33).
Are death-threats legal? NO.
Is extortion legal? NO.
Is slavery legal? NO.
Is murder legal? NO.
Is rape legal? NO.
THEN ISLAM IS ILLEGAL!
Rape, slavery, robbery, extortion and murder are never OK!
Everything muslims pretend to see as “holy” is already a crime!
So nobody has a legal right to practice islam anywhere on earth!
Flavius Claudius Iulianus says
It’s becoming clear that there is a strategy that works to beat the antifa:
Don’t show up to their fight! I’m serious.
The Identitarians use a demonstration method where they secretly film the demo and post it online. No permits, no notice and no opposition shows up.
Here’s another example:
La Meute planned a demo in Quebec. They met/assembled in an underground garage while the antifa assembled outside. La Meute stayed inside the garage for over five hours. Meanwhile, outside the antifa fought with police (La Meute was nowhere in sight while the antifa did battle with police). When order was established by police, La Meute exited, and silently and peacefully marched to the legislature! Even the Left admits that La Meute won this one.

People resorting to violence because they know they are wrong

Due to the fact that there is no motion against anti Christian phobia, anti Jewish phobia, anti Hindu phobia, anti Buddhist phobia, anti secular phobia, anti humanist phobia, anti Sikh phobia, anti atheist phobia, etc. I have thrown out my late fathers world war two medals because my country Canada does not value or respect me and my ancestors. I will not celebrate remembrance day because my country passed M 103 to the detriment and inequality of all the afforementioned groups. Canada should become part of the USA. It is nothing but a nation of immature potheads with no respect for any other groups but political correctness and sharia law. I thank God I do not have children because their lives could be hell as infidels in Canada. Canada spits on the world war two vets. I am dropping out of society to form my own clique where I avoid those who consider me subhuman. How long before the gas chambers come to Canada to have state sanctioned genocide against most of the Canadian population? Our politicians will be too stoned on pot to care as their own children will via the actions of their parents be led to the gas chambers as mommy and daddy smoke dope and sing kumbaya. My family used to know people who fled to Canada after surviving auszhwicz where they had family members gassed in the 1940s.

It will be interesting to see how the leftist media, CBC, CTV, and Global report the antifa in Canada. I’m betting it will get maybe 30 to 40 seconds of airtime as these organizations are in love with the imbecile in charge in Ottawa, one Justin, the idiot, Trudeau. And his back up man Gerard Butts, the defacto PM of Canada as JT says nothing without this man’s say so.

As we speak, the Islamic, Sharia law based government of Saudi Arabia has sentenced a young man in his twenties, Ahmad Al-Shamri to death for renouncing Islam in favor of atheism, on social media. This is the moral equivalent to the Nazi’s in Germany putting a death sentence on a person because they are a Gypsy or Jew.
After Richard Dawkins, “The God Delusion” was translated into Arabic, and put on the Internet as a free download, there were 10 million downloads in Islamic Countries, including 3 million in Saudi Arabia. If embracing such views is punishable with death, yet 3 million people download the material, that tells you that there is a huge dissatisfaction with Islam among the masses. They evidently feel that the teachings of the Koran are violent, contradictory, and not true. Yet Canada wants to make it a “hate crime” to say what I have just said. I do not hate or mistrust the vast majority of Muslims in the U.S. and Canada, but simply feel that they are good people following a bad religion. Many nominally remain in Islam for social reasons and to keep peace with bigoted members of their families.
