Canada: Police drop investigation as Muslima who claimed to have received death threats refuses to cooperate

Jan 31, 2018 7:04 am By Robert Spencer

More fake hate crime. Victimhood is a prized status in our ridiculous society, as it provides one with immunity from scrutiny from law enforcement, and puts one in line for special privileges and accommodation. But here again we see a Muslim fabricating an “anti-Muslim hate crime.” This happens so frequently that any informed person must be skeptical about any and every claim of victimhood from Muslims.

In this case, Nimra Amjad was a candidate for school board trustee in Calgary. Just before the election, she made these claims of having received racist death threats. That’s transparent: she was hoping to get Leftists who buy the “Islamophobia” narrative to vote for her because of the threats. It didn’t work: she lost the election, and it has emerged that she isn’t even a Canadian citizen, and hence wasn’t even eligible to run in the first place.

But Justin Trudeau and Melanie Joly will probably scold us for our “Islamophobia” for noticing such things, and appoint Nimra Amjad to a remunerative government position.

“Updated: Failed school trustee candidate who claimed to be victim of racist death threats charged under Election Act,” by Meghan Grant, CBC News, January 30, 2018:

A Calgary school board trustee candidate who made headlines when she reported being the victim of racist threats has been charged under the Local Authorities Election Act following an investigation.

Nimra Amjad, 32, has been charged with signing a candidate’s acceptance form that contains a false statement and making a false statement for a purpose related to an election.

Police believe she was not eligible to run for office when she unsuccessfully ran last fall as a Ward 3 and 4 school trustee candidate.

The seat on the Calgary Board of Education was won by Althea Adams.

The anti-corruption unit began investigating Amjad on Oct. 30, 2017, after a member of the public reported Amjad was not a Canadian citizen and therefore not eligible to run.

“It is alleged that the candidate filed both a notice of intent to run and a nomination acceptance form, swearing or affirming she had read the eligibility requirements and was legally eligible to run,” according to police.

It is a crime for a non-citizen to file either of those documents.

Det. Jeff MacQueen said the charges are rare, which is why the investigation took quite a while.

“I don’t think that it’s something that happens on a regular basis, but it is concerning,” MacQueen told reporters Tuesday afternoon.

“It does not appear that she is a Canadian citizen.”…

Amjad first made headlines when she reported being the victim of racist threats ahead of the election.

Two days before the election, CBC News reported the hate crimes unit had dropped its investigation after Amjad became unco-operative [sic] and the man she had accused said not only did he not do it, but he had dated Amjad.

An email chain between Amjad and the detective provided to CBC News depicts a frustrated investigator attempting to get a statement out of an uncooperative Amjad.

“I note that you have utilized the media in regard to this incident,” wrote Const. Craig Collins. “This investigation is reaching Day 6, and you have not provided any formal statement to the police, despite numerous attempts by the police to obtain your statement.”

In an interview with CBC News, Amjad changed her story numerous times.

She initially denied ever meeting or knowing Shawn Street, but by the end of an hour-long conversation she confirmed she’d met Street online and had gone on several dates with him….

    Look at how much they are interested in running for office…. to get into power in the infidel land… to influence far above their numbers. I have been saying this for long… Muslims punch far above their actual percentage of population….. Always multiply their population by a factor ranging anywhere from 3 to 5. 3 in stricter societies and 5 in very liberal societies. So their potential for crime, disturbance, mischief, and nuisance… is far above their actual population percentage… In all possible ways, Muslims are ONLY TROUBLE to any land they migrate.

      Yes, Infidel, Islam is a SUPREMACIST political ideology.

      Muslim apologist Maulana Maududi wrote: “…the objective of the Islamic jihad is to ELIMINATE the rule of an un-Islamic system, and ESTABLISH in its place an Islamic system of state rule. Islam does not intend to confine his rule to a single state or a hand full of countries. The aim of Islam is to bring about a UNIVERSAL REVOLUTION. Although in the initial stages, it is incumbent upon members of the party of Islam to carry out a REVOLUTION in the state system of the countries to which they belong; their ultimate objective is none other than world revolution.” – ‘Jihad in Islam’, 1970

    There are so few genuine ‘hate’ crimes against Muslims that Muslims who are desperate for attention are obliged to fabricate them.

    Meanwhile, actual crimes committed by Muslims against kuffar women, Jews, and gays, have risen substantially.

    Funny how we don’t hear our politicians talking about the real victims of ‘hate’ crime.

      ANOTHER HOAX intended to HOODWINK the taxpayers.

      MP Iqra Khalid actually got elected after LYING about her country of origin (Pakistan). She came to Canada by LYING about being born in Afghanistan and being a ‘REFUGEE’.

      However, she was NOT a refugee and should be CHARGED with LYING on her citizenship application.

      I don’t think Jihadi Justin knows how to spell T-A-Q-I-Y-Y-A-H.

      He is truly dopey and is a jihadi’s BEST FRIEND to the extreme detriment of Canadians.. .

        I think you are confusing Khalid with Maryam Monseff who claimed that her mother told her she was born in Afghanistan when she was in fact born in Iran – because mother’s lie to their children about such things.

        • Terry Gain says

          Jan 31, 2018 at 9:15 am

          Pardon the spelling error. One f rather than 2. Interestingly Monsef’s Wiki page still says she was born in Afghanistan.

    Also, if one notices very carefully, Muslim immigrants RARELY bring in any viable skills when they immigrate to countries like in the West. Most of them go straight on the Welfare or end up cab driving etc.. Then they graduate to occupation like sales where U have to use glib and cheat customers..and since Islam is very political in nature and also because of the Taqiyya clause… Muslims become very adept in lying coldly, esp to non-Muslims, by the time they reach adulthood. They are also masters at deception and hence most of them are also attracted to politics like flies to honey.. Their goal.. the fastest shortcut to power and money and influence in the infidel land. And of course if nothing else works, there is always crime and terror to the rescue. U will very rarely find them in intellectual or hard work occupations… they always looking fir the fast track… That is why, one should never let them hold offices without properly vetting them to the core… but because of taqiyya, even hardcore vetting may fail..

    There are no consequences for false accusations, so there will be many more false accusations. Each one is laundered, turned into a “true” accusation, and added to the list of accusations that they use to promote their victim status.

    An 11 year old Muslim Canadian girl IN A HOAX says an Asian man cut her hijab, and there is a nationwide press event with comments from even the Prime Minister. (Just web search it.)

    Meanwhile a Muslim man inappropriatly touches six Canadian girls and there are little to no reports of the trial. Here are some:

    Jan 31, 2018 at 12:08 pm

    Dr. Spencer please note it is not just ‘victimhood’ that is prized but also any and all “disease” – why is disease glorified instead of fitness?

    Healthy person NEVER think of disease but will focus on fitness. “Sound mind in sound body”. And of course beyond mind is eternal atman-soul.
    (Paramatman is Emersonian Oversoul.)

    Since we all know Islam is a deadly materialistic cult with aims to enslave all Earthlings, it is understandable that for adherents of such a demented creed, victimhood is celebrated.

    It is important to fight to win.

    Dharm Yudh is on.

    excuse typo(s) if any.

    During the Bush/Clinton/Obama Regime, the Muslim Invasion soared, & one of the MANY BAD RESULTS, Has been the Changing of American Laws. We had Laws against Polygamy, PEDOPHILIA & Slavery in the USA, but the Laws are NEVER enforced, because those EVILS are “MUSLIM CULTURE”. The Ex-Prez, Obama, even told the Obama Military to “ACCEPT THE MUSLIM CULTURE”. The RULE OF LAW in the US, seemed to melt away, when ISLAM Confronted AMERICA.

    In countries where the State is involved in every aspect of life, it becomes more and more beneficial to be able to wield influence. Seeking victim status is a way to invoke the projections and favor of such a Big State. Gaining positions within the State is even better.

    This one was trying to get both at the same time. This counts as ambitious within our current environment, while those who seek to excel in the free market are looked down upon as immoral.

    Where is her hijab to cover her hair, & garbage bag burka to cover her body? She’s not a very good Muslim.

    She’s probably like the Muslima who tried to argue with Milo & failed miserably when he came to Australia recently, because he knew the five pillars of Islam & she didn’t. It was quite embarrassing for her.

Yesterday, religious leaders called his government, communistic, fascists, draconian, and in violation of the Charter of Rights. I do not know who is left for this simpleton to offend, but I do believe it is time for him to let the silent majority, Islamophobic, Canadians have a vote on whether he should stay or GO. Go ahead, smart ass, do the right thing.

    Has anyone heard of our Trudeau minister who lied on her immigration form about her country of birth in order to get preferential treatment and if she has ever been charged with an offence?

    I bet she hasn’t and that Trudeau has done everything possible to ensure that she isn’t charged.

    It seems to be a trait of folks from 3rd world countries to lie to the naive westerner in order to gain either victim staus or an advantage for gain, whether political or monitary.

    How many times have we heard of muslim migrant men lying and pretending to be children, or muslim girls lying about an attack by a westerner, or muslim men lying about the number of wives they have in order to get into a country and later claiming their wives and children as dependants in order to bring them into the country. It just goes on and on and on and the idiotic lefties fall for it time and time again.

    It has to be confronted each and every time, no matter if we are called Islamaphobic because we challenge the lies and deliberate deceit.
