That this column even needed to be written is evidence of the truth of what I have long contended, that “Islamophobia” is a propaganda term designed to intimidate people into thinking it wrong to oppose jihad terror. Justin Trudeau uses it in exactly that way in response to Andrew Scheer’s question: Scheer asked him about the security risks involved in Trudeau’s plan to “reintegrate” returning Islamic State fighters into Canadian society, and in response, Trudeau charged him with “Islamophobia.” Scheer wasn’t talking about “moderates,” he was talking about Islamic State jihadis. But even that was “Islamophobia” for Trudeau.
Find out just how destructive the phenomenon of “Islamophobia” is in my new book Confessions of an Islamophobe. Order your copy here now.
“FRUM: There’s nothing Islamophobic about arresting ISIS fighters,” by Senator Linda Frum, Postmedia Network, December 5, 2017:
According to Canadian intelligence agencies, at least 250 Canadian citizens have traveled to Syria and Iraq to fight for the terrorist organization ISIS and at least 60 of those have returned to Canada.
The terrorist threat to Canada posed by these extremists is obvious. However, even if they do not commit new acts of violence in our country it remains the case that these individuals broke the law by travelling to another country for the purposes of committing an act of terror.
The Combating Terrorism Act, which became law in 2013, makes it a criminal offence to leave or attempt to leave Canada in order to commit acts of terrorism. Given the high number of Canadians who are travelling abroad to participate in ISIS atrocities, one would expect that the Canadian government take these matters seriously and charge ISIS fighters upon their return to Canada.
Precisely the opposite is happening. Not only have very few of these terrorists been arrested, the Government of Canada is focusing resources on re-integrating them into Canadian society. Recently, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau proudly announced that resources have been put in place to facilitate disengagement from violent ideologies.
Last week, in response to questions from the Leader of the Official Opposition, Andrew Scheer, about this critical issue of national security, the prime minister accused Conservatives of being discriminatory and Islamophobic. Hiding behind the rhetoric of “diversity and multiculturalism” to avoid answering legitimate questions about Canada’s national security is not good enough.
No one of goodwill believes there is any place in a diverse and multicultural Canada for ISIS terrorists. There is nothing bigoted or Islamophobic about arresting ISIS fighters….

I hope Canadians vote this nutjob TRUFDOUS out of office in 2019!!!!

Indeed. Using Barry Soetoro’s (aka BH Obama) 8 year rampage in the USA as example, we can imagine the damage this un-qualified arse-clown will do to Canada before he is flushed down the toilet.
Will says
Just-in’s complimentary prayer-rugs …………
Just-in’s hug a thug policy for returning ISIS terrorists is the perfect pretentious platform {for that great pretender }.
He is taking his absurd identity politics and special interest pandering to a lethal level . Reintegrating ISIS demons into Canadian society is the wet-dream of a narcissist simpleton bent on a vanity virtue-signaling foray for the loving approval of his UN lunatics, he remains dangerously clueless of ISIS’s ideological savagery …… Our government needs to set an example to our prodigal & wayward sons& daughters that volunteering to do Al-shaitan’s work is treason and let future returning wannabe holy-jihadists know that they will be met by the full force of western law and not with hugs & kisses & a pat on the bum…….
A blatantly naïve response to a serious problem, Just-in is like a {uber-feminist} babe in the woods……..

They have committed CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY just like the Nazis and they should all be locked up.
They voluntarily fought AGAINST THEIR COUNTRY. They should tried and sentenced and segregated from other inmates to avoid infecting them.
Terry Gain says
Justice and deterrence require that they be put to death but you can get away with murder in Canada.
kabooooooooooooooooooooom says
Crikey Morti mate! Isn’t that extreme? Won’t deprogramming or a good botty-spanking do the trick?
mortimer says
No, criminal prosecution is not ‘extreme’. It is justice. And you are talking sophomoric foolishness. Genocide is not a topic where humor is appropriate. Shame on you. I suspect you have the amorality required to work in a death camp.

SK says
Not locking up people who unambiguously go abroad to commit war crimes is “extreme”, especially when they tend to be interested in doing similar things in the countries that they once lived.
Lynne says
He calls himself a feminist yet he wants us to ignore all the horrifying things Muslims do to their women especially but all women. How can he care about our safety yet think they can be rehabilitated? They can’t. A real hypocrite!
underbed cat says
Exactly how would Trudeau rehabilitate them, send them to the local mosque to learn about the beauty of Islam? Teach them how to fight fires for the next drought? Suggestion ban the terror book and arrest the leader.
mortimer says
Tru-doofus will give them millions of taxpayer dollars and ask them to vote for him.
Del says
Research Sections 318 and 319 of the Criminal Code of Canada and see how they apply almost perfectly to the Koran. If Wilson-Raybould and Trudeau actually gave a damn about Canadian Laws, they would ban the book, destroy all copies and punish those that follow it’s orders.
Tom says
Trudeau and his mentally deficient Liberal followers are bound and determined to take political correctness to a level where anyone who even thinks contrary to the Liberal line is automatically labelled as a bigot, racist or Islamaphobe.
This is happening now in the UK and it is only one small step, by re-electing Trudeau, that takes Canada permanently down the same slope into the dark depths of political correctness and freedom killing hell.
To avoid this and mitigate the damage already done to Canada by Trudeau and his mental deficients we must ensure he or his Liberals are NEVER given another opportunity in government.
scherado says
What reason would I have to buy a book written by a guy who has an irrational fear of Islam, the religious doctrine? Or, does he have an irrational fear of Muslims?
Or BOTH?
What would be in such a book?
Terry Gain says
sherado
Fear of an ideology responsible for the killing of more people than any other ideology in human history and that has the support of insane people like you is very rational.
scherado says
I do believe that you misconstrued my meaning. There’s no shame in that.
Just for the record, ideologies don’t kill anyone.
Del says
Correct, the followers do. Same thing with guns. No gun intentionally killed or injured anyone.
gravenimage says
Are you referring to Robert Spencer’s book “Confessions of an Islamophobe”? Are you unfamiliar with irony and sarcasm?
Terry Gain says
There is nothing Islamophobic about being opposed to an ideology that mandates killing people who do not believe in the ideology and whose followers have obeyed these mandates for 1395 years. The bigots and true Islamophobes are those who claim free people have no right to oppose such an evil ideology.
James says
Well said.

Rufluc says
The fundamental problem we face in the West is that the electorate of many Western nations are far too Liberal and Left facing for their own good. Consequently self loathing idiots like Trudeau get voted into power because all the ‘feminized’ electorate see him as either ‘eye candy’, or someone who has a soft, fluffy, ‘compassionate’ nature, a character that is so endearing to all the Libtards!
The fact that all these so called ‘virtues’ will eventually cause the inevitable destruction of both our people and our countries is neither here nor there to them. To Libtards it’s unimportant, because in their little world of la la bears and cuckoos, they feel safe, virtuous and immortal. So when it’s time to vote someone into power, none of them have the ability to take into account the long term consequences of their actions. They simply vote for someone like themselves. In this case a nonce of a man like Trudeau!
Merkel is yet another who, like Trudeau, doesn’t have any idea whatsoever of the damage they are causing, nor would they ever wish to admit it as Merkel has clearly demonstrated, due to their pig ignorance and stubborn refusal to ever listen to those that do have these abilities.
It has always been my understanding that to be able to do a job well and correctly, an individual has to be qualified. They need to have skills and a full knowledge of the job in hand. They usually also have to go through a series of tests and interviews to prove they are indeed right for the job. But in the case of our leaders, we do not insist they do the same? And as a consequence whole nations can and are destroyed. Why is this allowed?
It doesn’t take anyone with more than an ounce of common sense to instinctively know that ‘returning Jihadis’ should be seized and locked up for a very long time! They have clearly demonstrated their vile intentions and so they need to be reined in and taken out of society….permanently! They are past redemption. In fact I would go as far as to say that they should ALL be hanged and disposed of. Why? Simply because their unwavering deep seated beliefs in the devil worshipping cult they follow, do not allow for anything else other than for the total submission of their very soul to their evil ‘God’!
That is the kind of message we in the West should be sending out to all those who wish to pursue the cult of radical Islam! Let’s see then how many of them would still like to become a Martyr eh?
As for Trudeau, he really needs to be put somewhere in seclusion. Somewhere where he can do no further harm. I would suggest a warm padded cell full of teddy bears and Barbie dolls. The man is clearly and obviously off his rocker!!
warren raymond says
I hold it entirely possible that Trudeau has converted to Islam. That would explain his behavior.
mortimer says
Jihadi Justin has visited every mosque in Canada and is in bed with the Muslim Brotherhood. He probably is not a Muslim, being so entirely shallow and opportunistic. He is a super dhimmi and a silver-spoon socialist and globalist working for George Soros as well.
mortimer says
The word ‘dilettante’ which was applied to the father of Jihadi Justin is a perfectly apt epithet for ‘Junior’ as he called. He is a dilettante at everything.
kabooooooooooooooooooooom says
He would need to be insane to do that. Hang on a second – doesn’t insanity run in his family? Here’s some proof:
His erudite wife – https://goo.gl/fDh7cj

Benedict says
Senator Linda Frum:
“Recently, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau proudly announced that resources have been put in place to facilitate disengagement from violent ideologies.” –
[I suppose “violent ideologies”, plural, are moderate Islam and radical Islam – ?]
I wonder how many millions each terrorist will receive in order to achieve this goal?
LeftisruiningCanada says
Death sentences would facilitate disengagement from violent ideologies.
Benedict says
The problem with some Muslims is that death to them is an incentive not a deterrent.
LeftisruiningCanada says
But at least they would be disengaged 🙂
Norger says
And how incredibly naive, to the point of delusion are these people to think that “violent extremism” a/k/a belief in and adherence to orthodox Islamic theology, can be “cured” by a few therapy sessions or by hugging it out.
And good on Senator Linda Frum for calling BS on this.
LR says
Well heck…
If he wants to rehabilitate Jihadi’s….Then why doesn’t he also ‘rehabilitate’ Nazi skin heads?
Have the Nazi skin heads gone off and lopped people’s heads off, and enslaved any women yet? If they had, would Justin be just as accommodating?
Why be wanting to ‘rehabilitate’ one hate group, and not another?
I want an answer from Justin.
Norger says
Good question. Part of the answer is that Nazis aren’t worth trying to rehabilitate. . I don’t disagree on that point, but like you I’d grade returning ISIS jihadis as having an equally despicable belief system, and obviously more dangerous.
Voytek Gagalka says
Trudeau is implant of the Muslim Brotherhood. He would NEVER be elected as the PM if not from “help” from another sympathizer of Ikhwan (if not an actual card carrying member), Obama, plus financial help from George Soros. Thus he is TOTALLY dedicated to the Muslim cause and will defend them to the last his breath. He must be in complete agreement with Erdogan that “there is no moderate Islam; Islam is Islam.” He can lie that he opposes ISIS but he will defend them as well, as Grand Imam of Al-Azhar did when he said that whoever carries the “Flag of Islam” (with shahada) then he cannot be condemned as “un-Islamic.” If only naives in the West would grasp that!
Michael Copeland says
The article says it is “a criminal offence to leave or attempt to leave Canada in order to commit acts of terrorism.”
Notice that it is not necessary for the person actually to commit an act of terrorism, just to leave Canada for that purpose.
All these individuals left Canada for that purpose. They have committed a criminal offence.
Trudeau is failing to uphold the law.
LeftisruiningCanada says
Exactly.
The discussion should never have allowed to be framed in terms of “islamophobia’.
Wonder who put that on JT’s talking points list for question time?
Norger says
Leaving the country to commit terrorism shows a high level of commitment. Physically joining ISIS takes it to another level. Justin Trudeau is completely delusional.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
Recently, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau proudly announced that resources have been put in place to facilitate disengagement from violent ideologies.
Therein lies the rub. The idea I suppose is to transform them back into Moderate Moslems. But once a brain is programmed with Islam, there’s a very slim chance of making yourself into a good person. Inactive Moslems is the better term, there is nothing moderate about Islam, even if a Moslem is not in an active state.
Tim says
Islamophobia is getting in the way of the Combating Terrorism Act. The politicians should fight for the eradication of islamophobia and then deal with the returning terrorists.
Senator Linda Frum should organize Canadian citizens to demonstrate against islamophobia.
makmorn says
Max maybe you will encounter one.
Carlos Danger says
I’m not sure it Trudeau minor is a useful idiot, but he is certainly an idiot.
GPT says
But Trudeau the expert on Islamic beliefs knows ISIS has nothing to do with Islam, so how can it be islamophobic to want to put these terrorists away?
George says
It says a lot when the citizens of Western countries are forming underground resistance organizations to meet and discuss what must be done to defend the infidel from persecution by their governments and their allied Muslim faction. Shades of Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia.
Flavius Claudius Iulianus says
Canadian style nepotism: a member of one Canadian dynasty setting a member of another Canadian dynasty straight.

Kudos to Senator Frum. She will give courage to others to say what they now only dare to think. Then we will have the right atmosphere for open and honest debate and discussion.
El says
Trudeau the little pip-squeak, what a sack of shit. How could people have voted for this French turd?
Steve Edward says
Trudeau is a Muslim. He has converted to Islam before he became PM. Defending ISIS is what he is obligated to do as a Muslim. Since he is working in the interest of Islam, he needs to be forcibly removed from the office he has betrayed through his treasonous act of defending Islamic terror, before he commits further damage to Canadian Security.
Infidel says
It is MIND-BOGGLING as to how the TURD comes up with newer and newer ways to betray his own people without even the slightest shred of remorse…. Future gen Canadians will NEVER FORGIVE HIM provided Canada does not become Canad-istan..
Dante says
I imagine Trudeau has body guard protection, something the average Canadian doesn’t have. How many dead Canadians will it take to get Trudeau out of office?
nicholas tesdorf says
Australia is ready to deal with returning Jihadis and it does not include socialist molly-coddling. Arrest warrants await jihadists returning to Australia from the Syrian war
The Australian:- http://www.theaustralian.com.au/…jihadists-returning…/03a8f0790ec7cc21294d3ddd3418db9...
Jul 12, 2017 – The Australian Federal Police has obtained arrest warrants for 18 Australians fighting in Syria, as it and other authorities brace for a wave of Australian jihadists and their families driven from the conflict by the fall of Islamic State.
Canadawould be well advised to do the same, or repent at leisure.
