The National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM) is thrilled that it prevailed upon the Canadian government to fire Christine Douglass-Williams from the Canadian Race Relations Foundation. The NCCM used to be known as CAIR-CAN, the Canadian branch of the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations. Get the details about this unsavory organization’s Hamas ties here. Meanwhile, the Trudeau government is staying mum about the firing, aside from one email from a low-level flunky. Are they aware of how bad it looks for them to have now come down decisively on the side of the notion that opposition to jihad terror and Sharia oppression is “Islamophobia” and some kind of moral failing? Are they embarrassed at their conflation of opposition to jihad terror with racism, even though Islam is not a race and jihad mass murderers have been of all races? They’re probably incapable of embarrassment at this point, but could be aware of how weak and silly this firing makes them look in these days of the advancing jihad.
“‘Dared to criticize political Islam’: Federal government fires Canadian Race Relations Foundation board member,” Canadian Press, December 21, 2017:
OTTAWA — The federal government has fired a member of the Canadian Race Relations Foundation board over comments about Islam.
Christine Douglass-Williams lost her job this week at the arm’s-length government agency, whose mandate is to combat racial discrimination.
Her termination follows a review begun last summer over concerns about her writings on the website Jihad Watch, including a post where she warned that people are being duped by seemingly moderate Muslims and another calling the passage of a House of Commons motion condemning Islamophobia a “victorious day for Islamic supremacists.”
Douglass-Williams had first been appointed to the board in 2012, and was reappointed in 2015. Her term was to expire next year, but the government terminated it on Tuesday.
“Why? Because I dared to criticize political Islam,” Douglass-Williams said in an email to The Canadian Press.
“I make a distinction between those who practice Islam in peace and harmony with others, and those with an agenda to usurp democratic constitutions, demand special privileges over other creeds and who advocate the abuse of women and innocents as a supremacist entitlement.”
She called her removal a “dishonourable decision” on the part of Heritage Minister Melanie Joly, who oversees the foundation, and accused her of acting “at the behest of questionable sorts.”
Neither the Privy Council Office nor Joly’s office would comment directly on Douglass-Williams’ firing, citing privacy concerns.
However, Joly spokesman Simon Ross said in an email: “The country’s leading organization dedicated to the elimination of racism and the promotion of harmonious race relations, the Canada Race Relations Foundation, must have a board that recognizes the importance of diversity and inclusion in our society.”…
A spokesman for the board did not return a call for comment.
Appointees to the foundation’s board, like many arm’s-length organizations, serve “during pleasure,” meaning they can be removed at the discretion of the government.
The National Council of Canadian Muslims had been one of the groups that raised concerns about Douglass-Williams and they welcomed the government’s decision.
“This is an appropriate corrective measure taken by government to address Ms. Douglass-Williams’ disturbing public record — a record that goes against the CRRF’s core principles and functions, as a federal Crown Corporation, of combating racism and discrimination in Canada,” Kashif Ahmed, the chair of the council’s board said in an email.
Several people had written letters to Joly in support of Douglass-Williams, including Robert Spencer, the founder of Jihad Watch. The website describes itself as “dedicated to bringing public attention to the role that jihad theology and ideology play in the modern world,” but critics routinely assail it for being anti-Muslim.
Spencer has said his work is devoted to freedom of speech and human rights and that Douglass-Williams is being smeared by association. On his website in September he wrote that no solid proof had been offered that what she’s written isn’t true.
“I invite you to read all of Ms. Douglass-Williams’ published writings at Jihad Watch, and you will see that there is no reason for anyone who is concerned about racism and about preserving pluralistic societies to be concerned.”
Wellington says
Of course they would. You can always count on Muslim organizations being against two very important things: 1) freedom; and 2) truth.
mortimer says
Agree. Muslims refuse to discuss jihad, because it GIVES AWAY THEIR GAME … but if and when they do, they do not admit what jihad is: JIHAD IS THE VIOLENCE AND TRICKERY THAT ALLOWS MUSLIMS TO EXTORT THE JIZYA TAX. To hide the main motive and method of Islam is essential for jihad to be successful.
The most important ‘key’ verse in the Koran is K.9.29 which commands Muslims to enrich themselves through violence and extortion.
Maulana Maududi explained the extortion of JIZYA in this way: “… Jews and the Christians …should be FORCED to pay Jizya in order to put an END to their independence and SUPREMACY so that they should NOT REMAIN RULERS and sovereigns in the land. These POWERS should be WRESTED FROM THEM by the followers of the true Faith, who should assume the SOVEREIGNTY…”
The most important verse in the Koran is about POLITICAL POWER and FINANCIAL POWER, and not about religion.
BC says
Diversity and inclusiveness! Since when has Islam had any desire for either of these concepts?
They only believe in including everybody by force if necessary, into Islam, and diversity is completely alien to those who wish to employ sharia law as higher than man made laws
LeftisruiningCanada says
yeah, will be interesting who gets the position next.
if we can’t resist even a little bit of disagreement from CAIR, we’ve no chance.
StellaSaidSo says
Who do they think they are kidding? It is obvious what this is about: ISLAMIC BLASPHEMY LAWS.
mortimer says
Yes, Stella. The issue here is that they do not want a KAFIR HARBI … a kafir who VERBALLY OPPOSES ISLAM.
Christine is VERY WELL INFORMED about Islam and additionally has a fine sense of the SUBTLE CRAFTINESS of TOTALITARIANS.
The verbal jihadists supported and FUNDED by the Lib-Jihad Party of Canuckistan want a dhimmi or Pollyanna on the committee.
Karen says
Yes, you are exactly right. Heritage Minister Joly is an admirable Dhimmi and has submitted properly to the Sharia blasphemy laws. She knows who her masters are.

“I invite you to read all of Ms. Douglass-Williams’ published writings at Jihad Watch, and you will see that there is no reason for anyone who is concerned about racism and about preserving pluralistic societies to be concerned.”
Well put Robert,
Send the invitation again especially to everyone on the Canadian Race Relations Foundation.

““This is an appropriate corrective measure taken by government to address Ms. Douglass-Williams’ disturbing public record”
‘Appropriate’ in an islamic state only. ‘Corrective’ if your ideal is that all dissent against islam be silenced
Glad to see that telling the truth about islam has disturbed them.
Matthieu Baudin says
Christine is a hero of our times. There really isn’t anything more that one could add.
Philip Copson says
“…Christine is a hero of our times. There really isn’t anything more that one could add….”
Try “heroine”……?
mortimer says
Totally heroic! Christine is a clear thinker, superb analyst and a great, concise writer. No wonderful the jihadists fear her.
They would constantly be exposed. However, they will be exposed anyway. It is inevitable that Christine’s words will get back to the committee even if she is absent.
gravenimage says
Hear, hear, Matthieu!
Champ says
So true, Matthieu Baudin!
Laurence says
I am hopeful that, although it may not presently ‘feel’ like it, this dismissal turns out to be a blessing in disguise. One which frees Christine Douglass-Williams to spread the word about the dangers of political Islam and other unacceptable tenets and teachings also found within Islam. Here in Canada we need more people willing to speak the unvarnished plain truth, sounding the alarm where need be and as need be. Perhaps (and hopefully) Christine Douglass-Williams will continue to do so, albeit now from a different platform, one not directly under government oversight or control.
Christine Douglass-Williams thank you for your past work and service, and thank you for all the good yet to come.
As an aside: I am of the mind that Islamophilia is much more dangerous than any who may have a rational fear of its working parts as made manifest.
Flavius Claudius Iulianus says

Christine, run for Parliament!
gravenimage says
Good post.
Westman says
Agreed! May Christine Douglass-Williams have an illustrious career where honesty is valued.
NCCM should be pronounced, “Nuke-em”, to express the real function of this jihad-related organization; which is to whitewash jihad in Islam by destroying honest criticism, and if possible, the source.
One only needs to read the comments on any jihad story on any Western news site to realize that the Image of Islam blackens to a new shade every time some Muslim person or group, with a name related to Muhammad, his companions, or a historical Muslim warrior, commits mayhem while invoking Allah.
Nuke-em is failing to resurrect the image of Islam and Muhammad – whose character is best illustrated by Kim Jong-un.

Her statement to the press was excellent. I hope feminists/everyone takes note:
sharia is bad for women.
People are starting to understand this thanks to the good work of people like Ms. Williams and Robert Spencer.
mortimer says
“sharia is bad for women” … that is clear and short and irrefutable.
Older Canadian says
I would have been surprised if she was not fired.
This is Canada under prince trudeau’s rule.
Prince trudeau is only allowed to rule under the soro/obama/merkel party line.
I only hope this is a blessing in disguise for Christine as she is most deserving. A person who speaks truthfully, from her heart for the benefit of all, which is such a rarity.
mortimer says
Princeling True-dope will be hoisted by his own petard.
Georg says
It has been a disturbing couple of weeks for those speaking out against obvious, recurrent dangers associated with Islam. The Red-Green alliance is going after those who oppose an increasingly Islamic future for the West. As despicable and stupid Ms. Douglass-Williams’s firing is, perhaps her considerable communication skills and knowledge of Islamism will be of more use elsewhere. We have seen that Justin Trudeau equates the prosecution of those pledging allegiance to the destruction of Canada by joining Islamic State with “Islamophobia,” so it’s practically a mark of virtue to be forced from his unholy orbit.
George says
Canada has overdosed on stupid pills.
Older Canadian says
No. Trudeau compliance.
George says
I have had this theory for awhile now, that the West is the victim of the lead poisoning epidemic caused by children ingesting it through deteriorated trim paint in old homes.
gravenimage says
George, this was a much bigger problem in the past, when things were, whatever the challenges, not nearly as politically correct.

Canada: Hamas-linked Muslim group crows, government mum on firing of Christine Douglass-Williams from race board
……………………….
This is appalling–the idea that you have to be pro-Jihad and Shari’ah or else you are a “racist”. This is, of course, particularly absurd in the case of Ms. Douglass-Williams.
I hope she fights this! Please let us know if you are taking donations for a legal defense.
embarrassed to be a canadian says
I’m surprised this blog has not been censored in Canada where free speech is now equated with hate speech. Isn’t it time for another tête à tête with the Aga Khan ?
Georg says
Of course it is your prerogative to be “embarrassed to be a canadian” but I’d hope you know the rest of the world knows there are a hell of a lot of awesome Canadians, that Canada is generally a great place, and that we don’t automatically assume anyone living there agrees with Trudeau or these imbeciles firing Christine like this. Even though they aren’t the predominant power at the moment, many conservatives up there put up a proud showing recently in parliament.
Kepha says
Don’t be embarrassed to be Canadian. I’m from south of Line Forty-Nine, but I’ve always thought well of our northern neighbor, and may the longest border guarded by customs posts and museums remain that way. Surely, as heirs of English Common Law, Canadians must have some way they can organize, speak, and challenge laws that deprive them of their liberties. I’ve been thinking myself that if I ever can retire, and still have my some health left in me, I might become a political activist.
Raleigh Epp says
The Heritage Minister, Prime Minister and everyone at the Canadian Councel of Race Relations can be prosecuted under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and Bill C-250 (Canada’s Hate Crimes Law)! When Canada become an Islamic State it will lose All of it’s allies! Including the United States!
Kepha says
Raleigh: Long ago, when dealing with Refugee and Migration Affairs in the US Embassy in Bangkok, I had a conversation with a Canadian counterpart. He asked jokingly if the US has any plans to receive Canadian refugees. I replied that if there came a time when Canadians felt they had no choice but leaving their country, one of America’s worst national nightmares would’ve come true. It’s certainly bad enough that Mexico is such a mess that it sends millions of its people over our border; we’d be sunk if our northern border became a huge, intractable law-enforcement and national security problem as well (as for our third border, there aren’t that many Siberian Yupiks and Chukchi).
Seeing how such things as human rights commissions and boards of race relations have worked for our neighbors, I’m of the mind that principled conservatives in America should mount a campaign to see that such things never gain more power; and work to impeach and remove any President, member of Congress, or federal judge who abets their rise.
Lydia Church says
And like she said; “islam is NOT a race”!
Just shows their total lack of IQ or their obvious orwellian propaganda vocabulary and twisted terminology!
And it is actually both of the above, ‘and’ and not ‘or’.

Canada is on the road to destruction when an honest person cannot speak the truth. Thank you, Christine for all your writings. Please continue. Trudeau is a dictator?
Older Canadian says
Trudeau is a wantabe dictator, just like his daddy. Will he succeed to become one? Only if he is re-elected in 2019.
Charlie says
They fire Christine upon what grounds? Perhaps they are apologists for Muhammad who was an enslaver and a slave trader no better or worse than the discredited Nathan Bedford Forrest:
Sahih Muslim 10:3901
Jabir (Allah be pleased with him) reported: There came a slave and pledged allegiance to Allah’s Apostle (may peace be upon him) on migration; he (the Holy Prophet) did not know that he was a slave. Then there came his master and demanded him back, whereupon Allah’s Apostle (may peace be upon him) said: Sell him to me. And he bought him for two black slaves, and he did not afterwards take allegiance from anyone until he had asked him whether he was a slave (or a free man)
He encouraged his men to keep sex slave from the booty of war: Qur’an 33:50
O Prophet, We have made lawful for thee thy wives whom thou hast given their wages and what thy right hand owns, spoils of war that God has given thee, and the daughters of thy uncles paternal and aunts paternal, thy uncles maternal and aunts maternal, who have emigrated with thee, and any woman believer, if she give herself to the Prophet and if the Prophet desire to take her in marriage, for thee exclusively, apart from the believers — We know what We have imposed upon them touching their wives and what their right hands own — that there may be no fault in thee; God is All-forgiving, All-compassionate.
Treating war captives as booty to be given to loyal soldiers: Ibn Ishaq/Hisham 878
The apostle gave Ali a girl called Rayta; and he gave Uthman a girl called Zaynab; and he gave Umar a girl whom Umar gave to his son Abdullah.
Billy Chickens says
Christine, you’re the best! I always enjoy your articles. As the saying goes – just keep on keeping on. Truth always makes evil angry. That’s a given.
Cicero says
Christine Williams is. Brave and uncompromising. She is fearless in her writings and speeches. It is because she is so good at exposing lies and speaking for truth in fact she is so effective in her efforts that the Dark Forces want her silenced. But Christine will not be silenced she will continue to speak out for Truth and Dharma – an unusual woman of Trini heritage.

Despicable Trudeau regime. I can’t believe that I live in this country! It was NOT a country I immigrated into over 35 years ago!
Karen says
The leftists like to say that ‘speech may be free, but it has consequences’. (Sounds like a threat, doesn’t it?) And sadly Ms. Douglass-Williams has been punished with leftist-style consequences. Always the left is ready, willing and able to destroy those who dare defy them. (While they still shed tears for the 50’s communists who were black-listed. Makes a lot of sense.) Well, not to minimize her present pain, Ms. Douglass-Williams will easily survive this and will be employed soon enough, given her wonderful talents and dedication. I hope she is considering legal recourse also.
But, the danger is piling up. Web browsers that only return pre-approved information about Islam. Media outlets that don’t look too hard or ask too many questions about terror incidents. Police departments that are too PC to consider terrorism. And civil rights organizations that turn a blind eye to human rights abuses that might embarrass the wrong groups. Where would the world be without people like Christine Douglass-Williams?
Linde Barrera says
I am catching up on my reading of JihadWatch, and I am sad to read what happened to Ms. Christine Douglass-Williams. But just remember Ms. Douglass-Williams, “every knock is a boost.” -President Franklin D. Roosevelt. When more Islamic violence has been done to hurt law-abiding Canadians, the Canadian Race Relations Foundation will regret their totally moronic action of terminating you. Best wishes and give them payback by working with a better organization.
Bud says
Another win for a form of stealth Jihad. I stand with Christine Douglass-Williams. She is not a racist or bigot, she is simply telling the truth about a Political, Theocratic, Ideology that is very evil and extremely dangerous. ” Islam “
