Canada: Ottawa library cancels planned screening of documentary on Muslim migrants in Europe

Nov 27, 2017 9:42 am By Robert Spencer

I haven’t seen Killing Europe, or even heard of it before this controversy began. But this is cause for concern: “But even a ’30-second Google search’ by the library would have revealed it to be hate speech, says human rights lawyer Richard Warman, who was one of the people to complain to the library about the screening.”

All that anyone can tell from a 30-second Google search is that it is accused of being “hate speech,” not that it is actually “hate speech.” What constitutes “hate speech” is a subjective judgment, based on the core beliefs and preconceptions of the person making the judgment; the increasingly common assumption that it is an objectively quantifiable category of speech is extremely disquieting, as it paves the way for censorship and authoritarianism.

“The messages contained even in just the trailer is that ‘immigrants are coming to swamp and devastate Europe and that Muslims are engaged in perpetual massacres of the white populations.’ Obviously, it set off alarms.”

The racial aspect is out of focus, as Islam is not a race, and there are white Muslims who are just as much jihadis as jihadis of other races, but note Warman’s airy dismissal of the idea that there could be any problem at all with Muslim migrants: for him, it’s all “hate speech.” But is it? All of the Islamic jihadis who murdered 130 people in Paris in a series of jihad attacks in November 2015 were refugees who had recently been welcomed into Europe. Germany’s domestic intelligence agency admitted in July 2017 that hundreds of jihadis had entered the country among the refugees, and that 24,000 jihadis were active in Germany. Muslim migrants in Europe have also been responsible for an appalling epidemic of rape, sexual assault, theft, petty crime, and looting. In the first half of 2016, migrants in Germany, who are overwhelmingly Muslim, committed 142,500 crimes, an average of 780 every day. This was a significant increase from 2015, during which migrants committed 200,000 crimes. On New Year’s Eve, December 31, 2015, Muslim migrants committed as many as 2,000 mass rapes and sexual assaults in Cologne, Stockholm, and other major European cities. Muslim migrants have made Malmö, once a peaceful city, crime-ridden and hazardous. In Sweden, Muslim migrants from Afghanistan are 79 times more likely to commit rape and other sexual crimes than native Swedes. Migrants and refugees commit 92 percent of rapes in Sweden. Rapists in Sweden come from Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, Eritrea, Syria, Gambia, Iran, Palestine, Chile, and Kosovo, in that order; rapists of Swedish background do not exist in sufficient numbers to make the top ten, and all the nations on that list except Chile and Eritrea are majority Muslim. Even before the migrant influx, while on a speaking tour in Germany in 2011, I was told by the sixteen-year-old daughter of one of the event organizers that she was routinely harassed on the way to school: Muslims on the commuter trains would call her a “whore” and a “slut” because her hair and arms were not covered. This happened, she said, every day.

Can we talk about this? Or is such discussion immediately consigned to the outer darkness of “hate speech” and “Islamophobia”? That is the question I ask, and endeavor to answer, in my book Confessions of an Islamophobe: get your copy here.

Meanwhile, the cancellation of this documentary is yet another sign of how deeply imperiled the freedom of speech, and free society, is in Canada. Would the Ottawa Public Library have canceled an exhibition of paintings by al-Qaeda jihadis? Not on your life.

“Ottawa library cancels planned screening of controversial ‘Killing Europe’ doc,” by Blair Crawford, Ottawa Citizen, November 24, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

The Ottawa Public Library has cancelled this weekend’s screening of a controversial documentary, Killing Europe, after complaints the film was thinly disguised hate speech against Muslims and immigrants.

“I am letting you know that I have been working with the city solicitor about concerns brought forward by the Ottawa district labour council, unions, residents, board members and friends,” Coun. Tim Tierney, who is chairman of the library’s board of directors, said in an email. “I had asked the CEO to review and address the concerns expressed.”

“I can now report that the rental of the room will not take place.”

The documentary was to have been screened Saturday afternoon at the library’s main branch on Metcalfe Street. The screening was to have been hosted by the group ACT! for Canada, a group dedicated “to speaking out about the clear and present dangers emerging from those who do not embrace Canada’s values …”

Killing Europe, by Danish ex-patriate Michael Hansen, purports to warn of the dangers of the “Islamification” of Europe.

But even a “30-second Google search” by the library would have revealed it to be hate speech, says human rights lawyer Richard Warman, who was one of the people to complain to the library about the screening.

Screening the film is “in clear violation of the library’s own rental policy prohibiting the use of space for discriminatory purposes,” Warman wrote in an email to the library and its board members, Mayor Jim Watson, and others.

“When I looked at the three-minute trailer, it was clear it was going to be an all-out assault on immigrants and the Muslim community,” Warman said Friday.

“The messages contained even in just the trailer is that ‘immigrants are coming to swamp and devastate Europe and that Muslims are engaged in perpetual massacres of the white populations.’ Obviously, it set off alarms.”

Warman received confirmation the screening had been cancelled in an email Friday morning from library deputy CEO Monique Désormeaux.

Coun. Catherine McKenney, another library board member, said Friday she “wholeheartedly” supported the library’s decision to cancel the screening and promised better discussion in the future about what the library chooses to allow.

But where to draw the line between suppressing free speech and stifling hate speech?

Warman said the screening clearly violated the library’s obligations, stated on its website, to not provide public space for individuals or groups that “are likely to promote discrimination, contempt or hatred to any person on the basis of race, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, age, sex, marital status, family status, sexual preference, or disability, gratuitous sex and violence or denigration of the human condition.”…

In a statement Friday evening, ACT! for Canada’s Ottawa spokeswoman Alexandra Belaire admitted the documentary is “difficult” and exposes the rise of homophobia, anti-Semitism and rape-culture in Europe.

“By de-platforming the world premiere screening of ‘Killing Europe,’ the City of Ottawa and the Ottawa Public Library are permitting the perpetuation of these abuses and are permitting themselves to be tools of institutionalized oppression,” Belaire’s statement said.

    The standard should be “truth” not “hate”. If somebody can point to factual discrepancies in the documentary, then they might have cause to cancel the documentary.

    Leftists and muslims always say free speech does not cover hate speech, and of course, they are the arbiters of what hate speech is.

    It is my firm belief that the truth can NEVER be considered hate speech just because some approved victimhood group hates hearing it.

      That this film was banned is astonishing. It is basically an impassive look at Islamism and jihadism in Europe. As Robert asks: Can we talk about this? It really seems (all joking aside) that the only opinion one may espouse about Islam is that it’s wonderful. The whole thing is chilling.

        The First Amendment exists precisely in order to protect speech that people with power (politicians, business people, popular movements, mobs) find offensive. The First Amendment has no purpose if the only speech that exists is speech that offends no one.

        I’m personally against speech motivated by hate against people, but I’m even more opposed to laws against hate speech. Who defines what will be outlawed as “hate speech”? The government and those who gain control of its enforcement powers. That is a guarantee of abuse, both intentional and unintentional. Thus hate speech laws critically undermine the First Amendment.

        “Hate speech” laws are more dangerous than “hate speech” itself. The remedy for bad or false speech is more speech, not censorship. The only speech that should be punished by law is speech explicitly calling for illegal violence.

          Whatever Canadians may pretend, the First Amendment of the United States Constitution does not apply in Canada, nor do they have any similar right guaranteed by a similar grant from “ultimate” authority. A law, or series of laws, passed by parliament can be changed or revoked anytime, which means any “protection” that exists today can disappear tomorrow.

          E.O., we disagree on very, very little. I wonder how these US hate speech laws will stand when taken to the Supreme Court. If they are upheld, I think the Constitution is over. Many decades ago, I was charged with doing exactly what the law requires (reporting the theft of $200 Million in present value), with the goal of taking away my licenses, by a corrupt and incompetent regulatory agency. It took over 7 years and cost everything I had which identified me, except my licenses, to beat them and expose their corruption. That is the kind of fight that needs to be prepared when hate speech laws get thrown at us. There is no middle ground or room to negotiate. Freedom or slavery?

          I took on an entire state from the supreme court on down and won. It cost everything except my law licenses. There were threats and attempts on my life. Everything, including my adopted family was lost. I am still here, creating a new family by choice of friends. Unless a fight is started with a total commitment to win, it should never be started. The fight for liberty and freedom, which I frequently compare to Exodus, demands total commitment. God’s Chosen, all who call upon Him as Father, had no alternative to surrender to slavery 3700 years ago, or now.

          Search Lexis or proceedings of the Securities Exchange Commission for “When to Keep Silent”. That is not based on a hypothetical. About 10 years ago SEC proposed a rule requiring corporate attorneys to expose criminal conduct of corporate executives. I wrote and explained that while attorneys are required to make the report, DR7-102, and RPC 8.3, doing so publicly is certain professional suicide. I proposed an alternative that has been blessed by several attorneys and 1 state bar, and proven in combat with another. When the SEC rule was adopted, it allowed rather than required the attorney to report, paving the way for the alternative approach. Fighting evil and corruption demands total commitment to victory. I hope I am the last to suffer the total destruction of my life and professional opportunity for obeying the law.

          Sorry you went through that, but glad you won. Now I have an idea what you were referring to in your earlier posts. So you’ve played a role in the evolution of what I guess are “whistle blower” laws, and obeyed the law at great cost to yourself. Yet you helped change the law so others would not have to lose everything as you have. That’s admirable, to say the least.

        • Frank Anderson says

          Nov 28, 2017 at 7:14 am

          E.O. I can’t say that I changed the law. I did research over a period of several years, while I recovered as best I could, that led to nearly a decade of litigation where the research was tested. Not one case was ever cited challenging the cases I collected and cited. By publishing the research, there is now a path that was not previously known for any person who wishes to obey the law to perform the duty of reporting crime to authorities without destroying himself. That duty of assisting law enforcement has been traced in one case to “time immemorial”. The only thing that corrupt people fear is not being able to know who to attack. “Corruption starts early in a career, and rises to the top of corrupt organizations.” Corrupt organizations are almost always corrupt throughout because the corrupt get promoted and the law-abiding get fired and destroyed. Where better to illustrate that corruption than the collaborators inflicting the current invasion of those who wish to destroy us?

    By the act of banning the screening they are only going to encourage more people to want to see the video, if only for the sake of curiosity.

    “The messages contained even in just the trailer is that ‘immigrants are coming to swamp and devastate Europe and that Muslims are engaged in perpetual massacres of the white populations.’ Obviously, it set off alarms.” If this is indeed true, which the results of years of migrants swamping Europe and numerous attacks by radicals within the migrant population clearly prove to be true, then why would anyone interested in the truth and freedom of thought and speech object to the screening.

    This is obviously a move backed by political correctness despite the danger posed to Canadians from similar migrant influxes occurring due to Trudeau’s idiotic invitation.

    The stifling of free speech is indeed underway in Canada.

    You want more antisemitism in Canada? Increase the immigration of antisemites. That is what the Europeans are doing and it is driving the Jews out of Europe. Is that what Trudeau has planned for Canada? The problems Europe is having with mass Musim immigration must be hidden from Canadians as Islamophobia. And Islamophobia is against Canadian law even though M103 has not been passed ……..yet.

  5. Georg says

    Nov 27, 2017 at 10:34 am

    Just watched the film. It’s quite well-produced for what, I’m assuming, is the work of relatively few people. None or few of the topics will be news for readers of Jihad Watch, but the film works as a kind of synopsis of the migrant crisis since 2015 and Islamization of Europe in general. What is unique about the film is the extent to which average people on the street and in society are consulted about their experiences and views. The filmmaker seems like a genuinely curious guy without much of an agenda except to find out what’s been going on in his native Denmark since he left 15 years ago. His English is masterly… typical Scandi. The only “hate speech” I saw in the film was coming out of the mouths of Muslims (imagine that). And, as we know, acknowledging Muslim hate speech is itself considered hate speech among the terminally confused illiterati aka elites. Put another way: it’s a gajillion miles from hate speech (apart from the hateful Muslims speaking their hate). The event was shut down by communists — just another reason to see it.

    – Migrants and refugees commit 92 percent of rapes in Sweden. Rapists in Sweden come from Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, Eritrea, Syria, Gambia, Iran, Palestine, Chile, and Kosovo, in that order; –

    Katie Hopkins FRONTPAGE MAG. :
    “Swedish feminists – in fact, feminists as a whole – have never been more disappointing. I fail to see how they support women ….”

    I don’t claim and have never “claimed that Western women just love being raped by Muslims” as a commentator on JW allege.
    But what I do claim is, that especially Swedish feminists – Swedish men included – provide a comfort zone for Muslim rapists to operate in.

    How this strange phenomenon is to be understood and explained professional psychologists and amateurs have a right and a duty to find answers to. And if anyone on JW have a credible theory, I’d like to hear it, since I have a special affection for Sweden, and I wince when people speak about Sweden as being a lost country – also when I myself occasionally speak that way.

          Yes, that book by Bawer is also excellent. It’s not surprising that several of the most prominent intellectuals resisting Islam are gay, since they stand to be thrown off buildings, strung up from lamp posts, and made illegal, because Muhammad said to “kill the one who does it and the one to whom it is done.” That is just a stronger version of the same inhumanity that is to be shown to Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, and women according to the core Islamic texts (Qur’an, Hadith, Sira). A lot of Muslims do not know the contents of those texts or are in denial about that content. A lot of them would abandon Islam if they became sufficiently aware of what its texts teach. The leadership however is aware.

          You make a lot of good points otherwise, and in above posts, but I wouldn’t bet the farm on this last assertion. Brings to mind my initial startled reaction in seeing Muslim women who were obvious victims to Islamic persecution reacting to Westerners (ie white people) thinking they were “standing up” for them. The Muslim women reacted viciously and with hatred not for their male Muslim oppressors but for the Westerners for no discernible reason except that they were Western/white/kuffar.

    This is The Canadian era of the big giveaway. Trudeau pledged his allegiance to Islam prior to being elected – the electorate could see that plain and clear even though the press tried hard to cover it up- and now we are reading the civilization -changing results. We are about to admit 1 million Islamists over the next 3 years and Canada does not seem to give a darn that many will be targeting civilians as they live off the generous public purse. We no longer care if new Canadians want to be contributing members to Canadian society or if they want us all dead and replaced by a Caliphate North. Little Mosque on the priairies? No, big terror regime in North America more like It!

      The U.N. definition of genocide, if applied to the Islamic belief system, reveals Islam as genocidal:

      Genocide is defined in Article 2 of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (1948) as “any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: killing members of the group; causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; [and] forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.”

      The Qur’an is not particularly clear without the authentic hadith collections. But Peter McLoughlin and Tommy Robinson have published a Qur’an that does several things to make the Qur’an much easier to understand.

      1) They start from the very popular translation by Muhammad Pickthal. But they usefully put the chapters in reverse chronological order, so that the first chapters you read in their Qur’an are the last chapters “revealed” by Muhammad, thus the chapters that have the final word in Islam. According to traditional Islamic interpretation (and according to two Qur’an verses that speak of abrogration) those “final word” chapters cancel any earlier parts of the Qur’an that contradict those final chapters. In traditional Qur’ans, by contrast, the chapters are all out of order — they are arranged from longest to shortest, not chronologically, much less reverse-chronologically.

      2) What’s more, so you can easily see which Qur’an verses (the peaceful ones) have been cancelled according to traditional, mainstream, Islamic scholarship, McLoughlin and Robinson have put a line through each such verse.

      3) McLoughlin and Robinson have also inserted, in brackets, phrases to explain when a Qur’anic phrase refers to jihad. For example, in English language Qur’ans, often phrases like “striving in the way of Allah” are a translation of an Arabic phrase that uses a form of the Arabic word for jihad. Honest experts on the Qur’an acknowledge that virtually all Qur’anic references to jihad refer to military jihad, not inner struggle.

      4) McLoughlin and Robinson have bolded the parts of the Qur’an of most relevance to non-Muslims.

      It’s an innovative effort to make the Qur’an much more transparent to everyone, and includes a useful introduction by McLoughlin and Robinson.

    Richard Warman is a fanatic who should have been thoroughly discredited by his previous actions.

    The Canadian bureaucrats wanna tow the line of M103(e411). The text of the motion talks about “how the government should condemn Islamophobia.” At this time it is a motion only. But it could as the next step become a law.

    Shameful. Another example of what i encounter with people often here in Canada – a basic unwillingness, perhaps even an inability, to face or discuss subjects which make them feel uncomfortable.

    And what makes them uncomfortable you might ask?

    Anything which asks them to consider the idea that the world isn’t all sunshine and friendly fluffy bunnies, that perhaps some people are different from them and mean them harm, and anything that might make them face a reality (something in short supply in our Workers Paradise) where they can no longer see the world as an extended version of a university campus lounge bar where all the faces smile back and where each of those faces is different from their own.

    I love Canada, especially what it has been previously, but i have to say that there are a lot of childish people and a lot of childish ideas that really need to grow up a bit here. Once the trucks start ramming, the bomb vests start popping, the adan starts wailing and the streets in our sleepy little towns, are full of marching or praying angry mobs, maybe then it might happen. But im not optimistic about that, sorry to say.

      Yep! Canadian politicians’ virtue-signal that Hope Is a Plan all the time, because it’s risk free and painless (to them). They love the idea of “Progressing” to a world where we all pity each other as fellow victims, and nobody ever gets angry (“hateful”) at anyone for anything, no matter what crimes they commit against others, and where hurt feelings are always defended and protected by the force of law, as such utopias always seem to require – because to leftopaths, life is simply too complex for anyone to ever be able to understand cause and effect (if it even exists) and so without any free-will choice, there are no real “crimes” or “criminals” because we’re all naturally only helpless victims – of “society”/ mere “products of our environments,” and of course proudly helpless slaves of unknown and unknowable allah! So the only real crime left would be to accuse a fellow victim of being a “criminal” simply because they committed some “crimes” against you!

      And it’s all because all the “soft science” humanities ask Why, not How, we do things. Asking Why posits no free-will conscious choice exists, because we are all merely victims at the mercy of mysterious, unknown and unknowable yet somehow also “inevitable” forces beyond our control. Like this:

      Law-abiding Conservatives: “Criminal behavior is an effect of free-will choice!”
      Criminal libertines: “But what CAUSED that choice? There’s always a cause!”

      Their implication is that there are no crimes nor criminals because we’re all “victims.”

      But 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 must insist pity is always good and anger is always bad. Besides, virtue-signalling one’s pity, (“compassion”) in stead of showing one’s anger, (“hate!”) no matter how righteous or justified, is a lot less risky than accusing potentially violent and personally dangerous criminals of their crimes.

      So these days, pitying the victims (and the criminals AS victims,) is held up by the cliques of cowards in government, media and education as the highest moral virtue, while being angry or “hateful” towards criminals and crime is held the most vile sin.

      But what is really more useful in remedying crime: being angry at criminals for their predatory choices, or encouraging them to commit more crimes by pitying them as helpless victims too? Dynamic, hopeful anger – or static, useless and fearful pity?

      The answer is obvious … but not to any of these professional compromiser “politicians.”

    Islamic terrorism succeeds because people take their freedoms for granted. If people understood how priceless freedom is they would have courage instead of fear. But in some places (Europe and Canada) not offending Muslims is more important than defending the values that have made their countries places where even Muslims would prefer to live.

    Who is this self-appointed censor, Warman, that he and his ilk can tell others what they can see and what they can say?
    Some might find his authoritarianism offensive.

    “By de-platforming the world premiere screening of ‘Killing Europe,’ the City of Ottawa and the Ottawa Public Library are permitting the perpetuation of these abuses and are permitting themselves to be tools of institutionalized oppression,” Belaire’s statement said.

    ———–

    Indeed. They are killing Canada. Warman has a long history of using civil rights legislation to commit the civil wrong of censoring views with which he disagrees. Speech which exposes a totalitarian and intolerant ideology which is attacking our freedoms is not hate speech. It is love speech.

    Europe is heading in the coming decades toward either civil war, or submission to Islam, or both. Robert Spencer and a few others were already referring to civil war in Europe at least a few years ago, at a time when it was still hard for most people to believe such a thing could happen. But with the way things are unfolding in Western Europe, we seem to be on the cusp of a more widespread recognition that civil war is an approaching danger.

    We should be all the more thankful for the Visegrad nations. They may turn out to be a bastion that will allow Western civilization to survive the next few generations and then spread again. Some Western Europeans are already starting to relocate to Visegrad countries because they are so much safer than Western Europe, due to migrant crime, rape, murder, and jihad. Western Europe, Canada, and even the U.S., are in trouble, though we should stay hopeful.

    Support Robert Spencer’s AFDI and join Brigitte Gabriel’s Act for America. Gabriel also has an Act for Canada organization, for Canadians who want to take action about all this.

    Warman is the guy who sued the Free Dominion website out of business.

    The Ottawa Library just finished hosting the revisionist lying “1001 Islamic Inventions” circus last month, too. Ottawa is a totally leftopathic town, and Canada itself is a not-so-soft socialist tyranny these days.

      Ontario seems to be just trying it’s very hardest to flush itself down the drain…..doesn’t the province have the highest debt figure in the world of any political entity smaller than a country?

      And of course, that’s where our word bending “liberal” party have been in for ages. Liberal with spending other people’s money is about right!

        And they just approved minimum wages increases to $15/hour in less then 18 months!
