The Canadian government’s Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage has completed its draft report on “anti-Islamophobia” Motion M-103, and is ready to “take action.”
Motion M-103, introduced by Liberal MP Iqra Khalid just over a year ago, recognized
“the need to quell the increasing public climate of hate and fear… condemn Islamophobia and all forms of systemic racism and religious discrimination and take note of House of Commons’ petition e-411 and the issues raised by it…and request that the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage undertake a study.”
After the passing of M-103 in Parliament, the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage proceeded with its study, conducting nearly a year of hearings from selected groups and members of the public, both for and against the motion.
The cost of this extensive year-long Heritage Committee project was footed by taxpayers. The actual purpose and methodology of the study were vague.
Now that it has emerged that the government is preparing to “take action” on those it deems to be “Islamophobic,” Canadians are left in the dark as to what action will be taken (or range of actions) and by whose standards and definition one is deemed to be “Islamophobic.”
The Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage is pleased to make available the report entitled “Taking action against systemic racism and religious discrimination including Islamophobia”.
In the Heritage Committee Report, the section on “Islamophobia” is oddly short: less than two pages. The Ontario Human Rights Commission (OHRC) definition of the term “Islamophobia” was included, as follows:
Islamophobia can be described as stereotypes, bias or acts of hostility towards individual Muslims or followers of Islam in general. In addition to individual acts of intolerance and racial profiling, Islamophobia leads to viewing Muslims as a greater security threat on an institutional, systemic and societal level.
The definition of “Islamophobia” provided by the OHRC is nebulous. Questions to ponder: what is the global jihad, and what doctrine is behind it? If reporting global abuses committed in the name of Islam inadvertently leads to the “viewing of Muslims as a greater security threat,” then is the OHRC stating that one must not report on those abuses (such as Christian persecution, jihad attacks, attacks on women in Europe, honor violence, stonings, FGM, the murders of apostates, gays, Pakistan’s stringent blasphemy laws, etc.), since such reports may potentially affect how Muslims are viewed?
The Heritage Committee report has delivered a passive-aggressive document that threatens “action” against those who practice “Islamophobia,” while not providing a concise definition of “Islamophobia.” Nor does it present thorough findings despite following exhaustive hearings, and fails to grasp the importance of Petition e-411, which formed the basis of M-103 and stated: “We, the undersigned, Citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the House of Commons to join us in recognizing that extremist individuals do not represent the religion of Islam, and in condemning all forms of Islamophobia.”
Muslim Brotherhood-linked individuals and groups have been at the helm of a hardline Canada-wide campaign to drive an “Islamophobia,” victimology agenda, which attempts to forbid criticism of Islam — thus putting a single religion over all others, as all other religious doctrines are and should be subject to scrutiny.
Numerous suggestions from Canadians to replace the word “Islamophobia” with “anti-Muslim bigotry” were firmly rejected.
Despite many media accusations that the “alt-right” had stirred paranoia about the word “Islamophobia” being a threat to free speech and an implementation of tacit Sharia blasphemy laws, the threat posed by the word went on full public display when “Islamophobia” was concretely defined in writing in a Toronto District School Board curriculum “Guide Book.” “Islamophobia” was defined as ” fear, prejudice, hatred or dislike directed against Islam or Muslims, or towards Islamic politics or culture,” substantiating widespread concerns that political Islam is in fact at play in the use of the word “Islamophobia,” and that there is a concerted effort to foreclose upon discussion of it. (Sections of the Guide Book were amended following complaints.)
It is significant that the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has established an “Observatory” that is dedicated to combating global “Islamophobia,” and has made it clear that “Islamophobia” encompasses not only anti-Muslim bigotry, but also criticism of Islam and any speech that is deemed offensive to Muslims; hence the existence of blasphemy laws in Islamic states.
What Canadians think about the direction of Canada is of little worry to Justin Trudeau and his acolytes. Canada can no longer be considered a diverse, free country when merely offending Islam has become a punishable offence, while the government discounts routine hate preaching on al Quds Day, on campuses and in mosques, including hatred and incitement against the LGBTQ community, which Justin Trudeau claims to defend. The vagueness of the Heritage Committee Report should raise alarm bells. One basic service the exhaustive hearings provided was an opportunity to calculate the fervor and strength of opposition to M-103, which gives insight into just how far the Trudeau government can manage to push the envelope with Canadians.
A few points about Canadian sentiment on some issues enforced by Trudeau:
- The vast majority of Canadians rejected M-103 and the term “Islamophobia”;
- Most Canadians objected to Syrian refugees coming into Canada;
- Canadians did not approve of a $10.5 million dollar payout to jihadist Omar Khadr, and in fact, wanted Khadr to remain in custody;
- Most Canadians oppose “mindless multiculturalism,”, the kind that Justin Trudeau advocates for, including welcoming illegals rejected by America and much worse: Trudeau’s embarrassingly impassioned advocacy for returning Islamic State jihadists.
Trudeau is also the first leader ever to break federal ethics law, as he vacationed with his family at the private Bahamian island owned by the Aga Khan. He also conveniently gave away a $15-million grant of hard-earned taxpayer money to the Aga Khan’s endowment fund. Favor for favor, right?
Some other troubles with Trudeau:
- He accused the Conservative party of “Islamophobia” for inquiring about jihad terrorism;
- He has met privately with Joshua Boyle, a suspicious former Taliban captive who is also now up on 15 criminal charges;
- His government has been trying to reopen relations with the Iranian Islamic regime, after the previous Conservative government shut down the Iranian embassy in Ottawa because of its clandestine operations — including espionage and infiltration. Liberal Iranian MP Majid Jowhari started a petition to reestablish diplomatic ties with Iran.
- His Sharia-supporting MP, Omar Alghabra, represented Canada at the 44th session of the Council of Foreign Ministers of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation. Since when is Canada an OIC state?
- Leaked intelligence documents now reveal a much greater threat of Islamic terror than the Trudeau Government will admit to.
As Trudeau continues to spend taxpayer money on policies and projects that are undesirable to most Canadians, Canadians can expect more surprises. The Trudeau government has seen fit to deem Canadians “phobic” about Muslims, and will take action against citizens for this so-called “phobia.” One in three countries in the world have blasphemy laws that “criminalize anti-religious sentiment,” and Canada is well on its way. Despite the length and seemingly benign nature of the Heritage Committee report, it promises action against “Islamophobia,” a term it failed to adequately define, giving the government far too much leeway.
“Anti-Islamophobia Draft Completed,” by Robert Tuomi, Windsor Square, February 1, 2018:
(OTTAWA, ON) – The federal Government’s standing committee on Canadian Heritage has completed a draft report on Systemic Racism and Religious Discrimination, including Islamophobia, in Canada. Although its latest meeting, on Wednesday, was in-camera, the committee, led by Liberal MP Hedy Fry, has released its minutes.
According to the minutes, the committee, with members of all three major political parties, agreed to adopt a draft report to be entitled Taking action against systemic racism and religious discrimination including Islamophobia.
The document will now be reviewed by Fry and civil servants whose role will be to make, “grammatical and editorial changes as may be necessary without changing the substance of the report.” It was agreed by the committee to have the Government table a comprehensive response following the presentation by Fry to the House of Commons.
Once Fry presents the committee’s findings, at a date yet to be announced, civil servants working on the document will release a news announcement and will place related information on the committee’s website.
The committee was given the task of examining Islamophobia and religious discrimination following the passage of Motion 103 in April last year. As part of its work, the committee held 93 meetings and heard from 78 witnesses.
Brought to Parliament by Iqra Khalid, a Liberal MP representing Mississauga-Erin Mills, the then non-binding motion called on the Government to condemn Islamophobia in Canada……

“What rising hate?” Something is wrong with our Western societies if there isn’t any rising hate against the Muslims after the atrocities in Orlando, Brussels, Manchester, Paris, Nice, NYC, San Bernardino, Ft. Hood, and the rising rape rate in Sweden and Germany.
Rob Porter says
Andy, probably needless to say, Justin Trudeau is simply a total fool and thoroughly ignorant man. As to this moronic Heritage Committee, totally and willfully duped by Muslim MP liar Igra Khalid, if it’s members had even the IQ of a retarded moose they’d be asking about the prayers that Tarek Fatah has told us are prayed in mosques across Canada every Friday, i.e. for Muslims to defeat the infidels, and then they’d ask about Muslim ‘Judaeophobia’, ‘Christianophobia’ and ‘Hinduphobia’, but possessing a special dose of Canadian stupid and political correctness, they will not. This country is rapidly losing its mind and just watch as it meekly keels over in pitiful and abject surrender.
madpatriot says
Islam is a totalitarian government system of hate in itself…it is uncivilized, subjugative, violent and down right evil by normal human standards……the way they treat women and girls children in general is enough in itself to brand them insane….it is reality to say they are not acting in the way of normal civil living ….they are of the Dark Ages and everyone that stands for freedom, faith and to live in peace should be NOT accepting these people anywhere and standing up and telling the governments to STOP kowtowing to them …what is the matter with those who say they are a religion when they are followers of satan? They have no right to push there nonsense anyone and if they cannot live in peace they need to be removed to the Middle East and told to stay there! Canada you need to get rid of your so called leader…he is not helping what is right and good for your country…that said, there are many places that have mindless leaders…..bad governments and those that want ONe World Order that will completely ruin and kill anything good about living at all! Communism worldwide is what is wanted by some….insanity. As much as world religion of Islam!!!!!!

Excellent article by Christine Douglass-Williams. Opens a window on the Canadian situation.
Dwight Hogg says
she also has an excellent book and is supported by Muslims who really are moderate and believe in our values of freedom and democracy…unfortunately I believe their numbers are too small to counter the fanatical, supremacist Islamists in organizations like CAIR, Muslim Brotherhood and the numerous Muslim Student Organizations. These fanatics are infiltrating our political systems and are even Members of Parliament. Omar Alghabra and Iqra Khalid are two glaring examples. Omar brought a hate preacher into Canada and claimed he was unaware of his hateful views. Omar also supported Hamas. Iqra was involved in supporting Palestinians at university. These Muslim student organizations are a serpent’s nest of hate and intolerance against the Jewish students. And Palestine House is another vile example of hatred and intolerance against our Jewish neighbours. Imams in Canadian Mosques claim that it is ok for old men to marry 10 year old children and call for the death of Jews. Look up the interview done of Muslims going to see the Arab Idol concert and listen to their hatred and intolerance of Jewish people. So many billions have been poured into the Palestine problem that they could have had their own wealthy and productive country years ago but the only commodity they have managed to create for their children is hatred and violence.

Possibility of a “bridge” there. Naturally it had to be torn down. Canadians should have a no work “grazing strike” to see how much Turdoskovites really like their new sheeples.

Yes, yes, thank you very much for your article Christiane Douglass-Williams. You’re a good example to us for you have already sacrificed your job for the truth. Please stay on top of this for us. I think that we here in Canada with unfaithful leaders like Trudeau we are head for some bad days. Makes me very sad. I’m an 88 year old at the bottom of the hill retired clergyman and I see that we’re losing our liberties.
Christine D-Williams says
John, thank you for a heartfelt message. You are an inspiration and blessing to a threatened nation! I wish that there were more clergymen like you.
I’m most appreciative of you and also of other dedicated warriors to JW, their supportive comments and admirable appreciation for our prized but dwindling freedoms at the hands of greedy and demonstrably foolish leaders.
I dearly hope that you have passed on your fine leadership to members of your flock.
J. Thompson says
Let me get this quite clear here. I will not be able to openly speak anything against Islam or its followers known as Muslims in any way shape or form. Correct?
If confronted by a death threatening muslim hell bent on killing me because I’m a CHRISTIAN BELIEVING IN JESUS CHRIST AS MY ONE AND ONLY SAVIOUR , I wont be able protect myself against such hostility because I would be islamaphobic. Correct?
Let me educate Canadians here. Lebanon was a Christian country in 20th century. The government opened its doors to allow more muslims in as a good and friendly gesture. However tables turns in 70s as Christians and Jews are slaughtered in their homes and women raped. There was a death to all non muslims went out . Take a look at Lebanon today . Its an Islamic country.
Is this where Canada is heading? Will non Muslims fear for their lives in next decade or one after that because we in 2018 allowed ourselves to be conformed to being Islamaphobic? Answer me that . anyone. I’m waiting.

All true, J. Thompson.
Lydia Church says
It is a well manufactured, craftily orchestrated way to allow for the persecution of Christians.
That is what they have constructed. That is what they wanted to construct.
In a nutshell. All the guns are pointed towards us at the end of the day.
But I am not surprised.
I knew this was going to happen.
Yes, I saw the handwriting on the wall.
I keep up on what is going on in the world.
I put the puzzle pieces together.
I study Bible prophecy.
But before all of that….
God told me that this was going to happen.
I knew nothing about any of this at the time.
I had been in school and studying under the weight of many books for a long time.
I did not have time for the news.
I did not want to know. I just wanted to graduate and move on with my life and survive.
I had my head in the sand.
Also I had fallen away from God’s ways.
Then one day there was this big blast in my life.
Everything changed.
Some things fell apart while others came together.
I consecrated myself to God anew.
I saw the future.
And I saw that I did not have a future to worry about for much longer.
No one really does.
It’s all in vain.
It was like one of those surreal movies where you are walking down a busy New York street with people passing by all over, mothers with strollers, cars and taxi’s and buses and trains and planes and high rises and people going about their daily lives, busy with the details of every day life, picking up grocery items on their way home, all the business as usual. I stop and look up at the sky and time stands still and all the meaninglessness of it all fades away. It’s like a window opens up and I see what is going to transpire over the next few years and such, I see what matters in life. Most are sleepwalking through it all.
It seemed so unreal, like a dream, the future seemed like something that would not happen in a hundred years.
But then… it starts to happen. Every item unfolds, one at a time. I turn on the news and I see it happening. It just keeps happening. It really is the beginning of the end.
But no one will listen.
Of course, they don’t listen.
I just stress the only thing that really matters and that ever will matter.
Repent and turn to Jesus as your Savior.
Read the Bible.
It’s all there.
But still….. they don’t listen.
StellaSaidSo says
Jay Boo, do you seriously think that all non-believers hate Christianity? From where I stand, I’m seeing far more atheists in the counter-jihad movement than Christians. Christians, regrettably, are conspicuous amongst enablers of Islam. It is a mistake to assume that all atheists are leftists. ‘Atheism’ simply means ‘absence of belief in god/s’. It does not imply adherence to any particular body of opinion on any other matter.

The first rule of totalitarian izzzlam is you will not criticize totalitarian izzzlam.
It’s quite obvious that this most merciful , this most benevolent, this most gracious of politico-religious tradition simply cannot ‘earn’ our absolute respect on its own merits , therefore it demands state enforced veneration . These state coerced submission to a totalitarian creed is the norm in most Islamic states where sharia’s blasphemy tenets forbids, with a vengeance, any criticism of the state ideology. You criticize the state-ideology at your peril , the wrath, indignation and punishment will be swift & administered by the authority of the state . Self-reflective critical thought , introspection of ones religious beliefs has no legacy in theocratic states .
It’s surreal that the Canadian truncheons of blasphemy, M-103 , would dictate conversations in 21st century Canada ~!?!
Will this become an other price of Islamization in western culture .
M-103 , state enforced speech code, is poised to replace our fundamental rights to free speech , introducing state censorship and state persecution for speaking outside state condoned speech on behalf of an supremacist, totalitarian & intolerant ideology .
State enforced sharia …… drip by drip by drip by drip by drip ……… thou shalt not criticize any Islamic dogma ….. that’s……….. Izzlamofauxbic …….
Michael Copeland says
The Canadian government need never, in fact, define what is meant by “Islamophobia”. They can be like the UK government. They can prosecute someone, like Darren Conway, for putting in his window SOMETHING allegedly “offensive” to Islam, and imprison him for a year. Any tiresome Freedom of Information Request to ascertain what that SOMETHING was can be turned down, as this was, as being “against the public interest”.
All neatly stitched up.
Terry Gain says
The Ontario Human Rights Commission’s definition of Islamophobia, which is set out in the article by Christine Douglass-Williams, is frightening.
PsychoBob says
Spot-ON.
Carol (the 1st) says
Here is the OHRC definition as per article above:
“Islamophobia can be described as stereotypes, bias or acts of hostility towards individual Muslims or followers of Islam in general. In addition to individual acts of intolerance and racial profiling, Islamophobia leads to viewing Muslims as a greater security threat on an institutional, systemic and societal level.”
We expected the first sentence but the last one is a surprise twist as it seems to especially aim at the harmless dears not being cheated of their right to infiltrate our government. Canada handed over on a platter without a fight via an unbalanced idiot.
Terry Gain says
Thank you Christine D-W for your great work.
I have posted a link to this article on my Facebook Page along with the following comment.
As I feared, Trudeau is going to impose Islamic blasphemy laws on Canadians. M-103 was not just a harmless non-binding motion as the media claimed. 1984 here we come.
SHUALI says
Perhaps Trump will have something to say about this. I’m sure he is not looking forward to having and unprotected border with the Muslim pandering Trudeau and Liberals running Canada.
If NAFTA is renegotiated I think Trudeau will get his weak little ass kicked.
Flavius Claudius Iulianus says
“…Trudeau is going to impose Islamic blasphemy laws on Canadians.”
Exactly. Precisely. The next time someone uses the words “islamophobia” and “Canada” together, tell them:
“No, it is an attempt by Trudeau to enshrine Islamic blasphemy laws into the Criminal Code of Canada! Nothing more and nothing less.”
Also, I have noticed that in his cross-country tour of open town-hall meetings, Trudeau has been having a really rough time of it. Just the other day some hecklers were thrown out of such a meeting. I hope this is a sign that the Canadian public is turning on him! The demise of his political career can’t come soon enough.
Flavius Claudius Iulianus says
I’m going to quote Trudeau directly from one of his recent town-hall meetings: “The crowd has spoken and you don’t get a microphone (that is, I sounded out the crowd and I determined that you don’t get to express your opinion.)”
Quite by accident he betrayed to us his true nature and his real view on democracy and free speech.
StellaSaidSo says
Indeed, Justin’s slip shows so often that he might as well embroider it in fluoro.
His effusions of enthusiasm for the totalitarian regimes of China and Cuba should have alerted Canadians to Trudeau’s real ‘vision’ for Canada.

Dwight Hogg,
Your comment shows the ugly side of West and most of new world order. I cannot disagree a bit.
I always thought leaders with Christian leanings of 18th ,19th century and even early part of 20th century made much better leaders -better than doday’s left leaning leaders..Then there was something like justice, morality etc. Today the political herd has mixed with IMMORAL THUGS belonging to Left and the vile Islam. Sad times we live in indeed
Shabnam says
Are these Canadian Imams who are spreading Hate Speech against Jewish people in Canada , true Muslims? Would the Liberal Gov of Canada add their names to its Islamophobia list? What are Praying Muslims Repeating 17 Times daily? https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=nEhk_J-A1fY
==========================
Would the Liberal Gov of Canada, all the Islamic associations & 21st century pro sharia law feminist agencies who enforce M-103, add the Islamic Republic of Iran to their Islamophobia list? Does MP Iqra Khaled consider Iranian cleric Qoran reciter, Saeed Toosi ,a True Muslim? http://dlvr.it/QD3hwN
The Islamic practicing regime in Iran locked me up in Evin prison at age 16 for 18 months for not following their Islamic rules. Will the Liberal government of Canada consider the Islamic Regime of Iran an Islamophobic regime?

LeftisruiningCanada says
It will take some time. There are many places where no islam is present. Most of them are over in Ontario, which is about the distance from Barcelona to Damascus away from where i am.
What we’re seeing is the setting up of Canada to fall to islam, not the fall itself, i think.
M103 is a nasty step in that direction though.
gravenimage says
Jay Boo, there is at least one Mosque in Fayetteville, and Muslims have waged Jihad at Chapel Hill. No place is really safe now.
StellaSaidSo says
Indeed, it is THE crucial step. Its goal is to render all opposition illegal. It does not merely set the scene for the fall, it IS the fall. People in remote locations should not be complacent. Once the Islamists have the upper hand, no-one is safe.
LeftisruiningCanada says
I dunno…let’s say M103 produces some policy or law a little down the line. Those changes can be undone, might even be part of an election platform, you never know.
The fact that this motion is drawing attention to islam, and showing Canadians that it threatens their freedom of speech, is maybe a good thing. It is going to wake some folks up.
I’m not complacent at all (nor am i in a remote location), but i still stand by the idea that this is part of preparing the ground for giving islam an easy ride to victory. If it were actually the fall to islam, it would be all but impossible to undo, whereas this is just a law that can be changed or taken off the books again.
It isn’t the physical fall and submission to islam itself, but it will make that outcome more likely. It’s just one battle in the larger struggle for control.
PsychoBob says
It’s the first domino. That will be sufficient, particularly considering Turdeau is in place to continue the chaos he’s initiated.
StellaSaidSo says
I hear you, LIRC, and I know that you are far from complacent, but once a blasphemy law is in place (which is what M-103 enshrined in law would be), it becomes extremely difficult – if not impossible – for any effective opposition to mobilise. This is why the OIC has for years been pushing for the global acceptance of laws preventing criticism of ‘religion’ (by which of course they mean criticism of Islam). If Canadians fail to reject this proposal, they are not only saying goodbye to their own freedom, but putting that of other Western countries further at risk. The battle for freedom of speech is not just ONE battle, it is THE battle.
LeftisruiningCanada says
guess we’ll see 🙂

Wellington says
I said it before and I will say it again and that is that Justin Trudeau has done more harm to Canada than any other person in Canadian history. The man is appalling and so are all those Canadians who continue to support him.
RodSerling says
Hello Wellington, hope all is well with you.
Trudeau senior did much more harm, but then he was foolishly elected to three terms as PM, whereas junior is just getting started. Both traitors had/have the mainstream media on their side. A good book that documents some of the massive problems caused by Trudeau senior is called The Trouble With Canada, by William Gairdner.
StellaSaidSo says
I agree, RodSerling, Trudeau fils is simply completing what Trudeau pere started. The foundations were laid during the 1960s and 70’s, as Gairdner documents.
RodSerling says
Yes, and they think/thought it’s their role as PM to bring Canadians along the road of “progress.” Both are/were admirers of totalitarian dictatorships because these systems give the leader so much power and flexibility to do “good,” without having to mess around with debate, discussion, referenda, etc., i.e., all that pesky democracy stuff.
Carol (the 1st) says
I wonder if Pierre Elliott would have changed course if he had foreseen Islam? Some think that, unlike Justin, he had some intelligence and loyalty.
Wellington says
Yes, RodSerling, Trudeau senior did do much harm indeed and thus I should have been more exact by writing that Trudeau junior is on his way to harming Canada more than any person in Canadian history, including his father. At least under Trudeau senior, that I am aware of, the Orwellian distinction between free speech and hate speech was not put into operation, but that is exactly what is, in effect, being installed at the moment by Trudeau junior and this, along with unchecked Muslim immigration, will end up doing even greater harm, I believe, to Canada than anything Trudeau senior did.
RodSerling says
Indeed. We can’t let this clown get a second term.
Older Canadian says
No one can argue that every muslim is a terrorist, but most of the world’s terrorists are muslim.
Our elites insists on submitting to the propaganda that every time islamists commit terrorism it is disconnected from this religion.
Our elites instead ignore completely how some imams and their clerical leaders interpret islam via their holy books, via a 7th century literial interpretation.
No non-muslim who has not read, at least the koran, has any right, nor are they qualified to vote upon this subject.
No government who calls itself a democracy should never ever give themselves the power to silence the right to question or criticise any religion or faith.
Criticising and/or questioning a religion, or any ideology can be done without the use of hate speech or violent actions. It may offend some, but until now being considered an offense person by some was not a crime, until there was prince trudeau II.
Dean says
The people currently raging against Canadians for being “Islamophobes” and making us seem like a bunch of deplorable bigots are the ones who want Uniculturalism under an Islam protected from criticism – Trudeau is actually trying to destroy the version of Multiculturalism that his father implemented and exchange it for uncontested, unchallenged totalitarianism.

Stand and fight. You never have to raise a hand at a Mohammadan. If you hurt the political Left then you hurt Mohammadism and Mohammadans. In fact, I ignore all Mohammadans I encounter. I aim all my fight at the Left. I work feverishly to aid and hasten its collapse.
Note that the Green Party leader Elizabeth May has been accused of bullying. (The Greens are NDPers on magic mushrooms.) I cheer them on as they cut each other to pieces.
StellaSaidSo says
‘Stand and fight’
I agree, Flavius, the Left should be our main target, and indeed it has long been the focus of my counter-jihad efforts. Nevertheless, I remain willing to engage with Muslims about their ‘faith’. So far, I have encountered few Muslims, and no lefties, who have actually read the Koran. What we are up against is profound ignorance coupled with massive conceit – a toxic combination.
Flavius Claudius Iulianus says
“What we are up against is profound ignorance coupled with massive conceit…”
It seems we have perceived the same combination but have put different words to it. I have often said that the Left, “combines arrogance with intellectual laziness.”
StellaSaidSo says
Your words are equally apt, Flavius!
Lydia Church says
Just curious, what sort of ideology do the leaders of Hungary and Poland support?
And these are two of the last, if not thee last, safe havens.
Good thing they are not ‘secular’ eh?
We saw how that ended up on other countries…
just saying…
( ;
StellaSaidSo says
Hungary and Poland are secular, in that they espouse secular values – democracy, freedom of speech and worship, equality, and the separation of church and state. The fact that a majority of its people retain a strong religious faith does not make a country ‘unsecular’. Most Christians in the 21stC would be horrified at the thought of returning to theocratic rule.
John Stefan Obeda says
Because of my blood and upbringing I can move to Slovakia, but I’m pretty sure God will move me to His kingdom before Islam rules Canada. But, my dear unfortunate descendants!. Let us do what we can, study and fight and encourage one another and pray and talk and write while we can also for the sake of our descendants. .
Lydia Church says
NZ is out now too, see below.
Not many holdouts against the globalists left now.
Da, da, dun….
John Stefan Obeda says
Mr, Farmer: And your dream of moving away from Islam becomes all the more important when you have children and the future of your family and descendants to think about. God help us all to stand up for the truth and then to also suffer the consequences if and when we do.
Richie says
Did Canada ever have a strong Conservative PM who would stand up against the lunacy of leftism and Islam?
Wellington says
The previous Prime Minister, Harper, was pretty good in these respects.

As usual, good and well informed common sense. History will be good to him.
Carol (the 1st) says
I wish he’d run again.
gravenimage says
Exactly, Wellington and Andy. There were things Harper did not know about the texts of Isam, but he had a pretty good handle on the threat it represented, and was definitely anti-Jihad. I wish Canada had reelected him.
Linda says
I wish Harper had been re-elected, too. Trudeau isn’t so much “progressive” as he is conniving. He saw all the Muslim votes he could get by siding with them and went for it. He’s like a political opportunist.
PsychoBob says
Absolutely Right ON!!! Good post!

Canada would have been much, much better off with Harper than JUstin Trudope!!

Dean says
Yes, his name is Stephen Harper and he was the PM from 2006 – 2015. He was hounded by the deep state in Canada almost as much as Trump is experiencing an ongoing coup by Dems and MSM today. Harper lost to Trudeau. Now he is in the shadows and says little.
Trudeau is quickly making free speech in Canada a thing of the past. He is putting a chill on anyone who speaks the truth.The MB has Trudeau’s ear and they are issuing their recommendations and threats and Trudeau is lightening to and obeying them.
If I were the USA I would be wondering about border security because Trudeau is allowing a lot of unscreened immigration from terror hotspots.
PsychoBob says
Not only allowing, but encouraging ….. We will regret the last election for a long time to come.
StellaSaidSo says
You are correct, Dean. Harper’s defeat and his replacement with Trudeau was engineered by the globalists, working thru the ‘deep state’. The same thing happened to Tony Abbott in Australia. In France in 2017, there was no existing candidate strong enough to defeat Marine Le Pen in a fair fight, so they were obliged to manufacture one. Barack Obama was similarly a product of this process, put in place to facilitate the globalist agenda. Donald Trump’s win came as a huge shock to the cabal. Having failed to cheat enough to prevent him from taking office, they have taken cheating to new levels in their efforts to remove him from it.
gravenimage says
True, Dean.
Flavius Claudius Iulianus says
Canada needs another party right of the Conservatives (and left of the CHP). The present leadership of the Conservatives are fiscal conservatives (many of whom are in fact centrists or liberals in conservative clothing) who, after the leadership race, shut out/alienated the social conservatives. The social conservatives showed extremely well in the leadership race – and they should take that success and form another party.
David says
Now we will see what the Conservative Party of Canada is made of. Will they protect the Canadian Constitution? Will they protect the Canadian people? Will they call for the removal of the current PM?
PsychoBob says
Regardless, we have to dump the incumbent to have a chance of survival. And witless Wynne along with him. Canada cant afford any more blundering along this yellow brick road to chaos..They have to GO!
Andy says
I hope Canadians flock to the polls and kick Trudeau’s ass out of office in 2019!!
PsychoBob says
It’s our last chance for the freedom we treasure.

Canadia poppy wearing solider. says
Christine,
Thank you for your courage.
Here is mine.
Mayor Drew Wilkins of Windsor, Ont. Canada
You are all in on improving the Old Walkerville area which is all good but have you walked or gone door to door along the cusp corridor of Lincoln Rd, Gladstone, or any area West of where the ” pretend” don’t see the women in you neighbour hood only come out now to transport, meaning drive, the children to the mosques areas.
I moved in my cusp area when the cult of Islam was almost like the dinosaurs, in the earl 2000, where the women where able, free, to go outsid and garden, take care of their prized property, no fear.
Now, I dare you to knock on the doors of my neighbours who, the women and their cowardly men have subcomed to because of people like you.
Mayor Drew Wilkins, knock on the door on Lincoln St. and west of, you chicken.
Tell these Canadian imigrants that came from Lebanon, for the freedom, that they, women lost because Islam, Sharia, and fear in me, mayor Drew,
My women friends were free at one time, being able to garden???, outside without fear, I saw it mayor Wilkilns, Drew,
Are you going to let Windsor be a hijab, hub for women prisoners?
You are a phony, just like True-doe, giving millions and thinking you will escape from them, time Drew and connections maybe.
I dare you Mayor Drew Wilkins to knock on 1 door and see if this women likes being a cult, Muslim, Islam prisoner who can not even go out side for spearmint, peppermint, anything but yet used her friendship with me to get that little pit of freedom that she once had.
Islam is ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,good for all man and women kind.
Canadia poppy wearing solider. says
Robert, Christine, the Rebel,
I’m real, just afraid and response is in the ? the clouds.
Believe.
Carol (the 1st) says
Correction Canadia – it’s Mayor Dilkens. He certainly seemed to avoid the elephant in the room when that older woman was beaten on Ganatchio Trail by a Muslim youth.
Kevin J. Johnston drew attention to the small illegal mosque on Lincoln Road, I suppose you heard about that. The muslims love to settle in and have their mosques in central areas. If you’re finding it troubling the only solution may be to move.

Canada: M-103 Heritage Committee report promises government action against “Islamophobia”
…………………
Will there be any government action against Jihad terror? Doesn’t sound like it–just against those who oppose Jihad terror. *Sickening*.
RodSerling says
Thanks to Christine for reporting on this. Perusing the government’s draft document, it looks like they are trying to implement a lot of radical leftist anti-Western ideology as policy (see “Intersectionality” etc.). They are floating the document as a trial balloon so that if there is significant resistance to it, they can make adjustments for political expediency. Trudeau and his Islamist base have been allowed to go off mandate and hijack the government (and waste taxpayers’ time and money) for over a year and a half thus far to work on this politically-motivated Islamophobia nonsense, for which he had no mandate from Canadians. We already have extensive laws and quasi official institutions in place to deal with all of the issues M-103 purports to address. This is Trudeau’s and the Liberal party’s attempt to win the hearts and minds of Muslim voters at the expense of other voters. If Trudeau had campaigned that he was going to implement government-wide, Canada-wide policies to defend Islam, and spend much of his time in his role as PM excoriating Canadians for being racist and “Islamophobic,” he never would have been elected.
Linda says
You’re so right. Trudeau never campaigned on implementing M-103. Like any Liberal, all he cares about are votes. He is such a traitor.
RodSerling says
Yes, I think the Trudeau Liberals are trying to swipe a big chunk of the far left position (re identity politics etc.) from the NDP. The Liberal party in Canada is chameleon-like, feigning whatever assortment of positions they think are needed to get elected. About this whole Islamophobia campaign, though, I think Trudeau is sincerely passionate (in addition to being greedy for Muslim votes).
RodSerling says
Continuing…”We already have extensive laws and quasi official institutions in place to deal with all of the issues M-103 purports to address”
…that is, at least what the Liberals claimed in the media when defending M-103. Obviously the policies, programs, and/or laws that they will end up implementing are going to go much further than what we already have. That seems clear from the document, which has 30 recommendations for actions. Aside from the obvious political pandering, why else would the Liberals push this project of they didn’t actually want to extend government control of speech and expressions about Islam and Muslims?
Another note: In the section written by the conservative minority, there are examples of witnesses who say the term Islamophobia should be changed to “anti-Muslim bigotry,” so that legitimate criticism of Islam will still be considered protected free speech. This strikes me as coming from a naive and trusting view of government–especially unwarranted given the current government. These commenters try to separate criticism of people from criticism of ideas. I understand that distinction. But perhaps these commenters don’t realize that legitimate criticism–indeed any criticism of Islam–is considered anti-Muslim bigotry by the kinds of people who are pushing M-103 and who will be defining how its recommendations will be enforced. And, in any case, what’s wrong with criticizing people? Is there anyone who doesn’t criticize people? Should some groups of people be protected from criticism? Changing the phrase to protect people instead of ideas may sound noble, until you realize that it is impossible in practice to criticize an ideology without by implication criticizing those who follow the ideology. I don’t criticize Islam because it contains bad ideas. The Aztec religion contains bad ideas. I don’t spend time talking about it. I criticize Islam insofar as Muslims put its bad ideas into practice today, and because these resulting practices harm others. People who believe bad ideas and put them into practice should be criticized for those ideas and practices, whether those people are Muslim, non-Muslim, left-wing, right-wing, centrist, atheist, theist, or whatever.
The more I read about it, the more this whole M-103 thing seems like a massive exercise in narcissism by Trudeau, all at taxpayers’ expense. It is (at best) a waste and abuse of government time, effort, attention, and resources.
RodSerling says
“that is, at least what the Liberals claimed in the media when defending M-103.” Correction: What I meant there was that the Liberals were claiming they weren’t going to limit freedom of expression beyond the extent to which it is already limited, so free speech/civil liberties defenders need not worry.
John Stefan Obeda says
RodSerling, we must constantly keep in mind that the devoted Islamists and the clueless non-Muslims want to prevent all criticism of Islam by every which stealth manner that they can concoct, and WE must fight hard for free expression and freedom of speech. If we lose free speech, we’re done, I believe.
RodSerling says
Absolutely, John. Free speech is the key and we must defend it, use it, or lose it. And Islamic restriction on expressions is one of the few aspects of sharia that Islamic apologists in the West generally will not deny supporting. They need restrictions on expressions, with threats of punishment for disagreement, criticism, or opposition to Islam, otherwise Islam will be defeated.
Linda says
With any Liberal, it’s all about the votes.
underbed cat says
The western cultures do not need another jihadi in office. especially on our northern border..how incredible is this insidious evil doctrine , it spreads lie a virus…in the U.S. we have a chance now to rid ourselves of the left Obama attempt to bring sharia I am so sorry you are now facing this dilemma it is seriously dreadful.
Politicianophobia says
I am really confused, if I see something, should I say, “Oh, help, aw aw aw, I think, aw aw aw aw, well, you know, aw aw aw, well, you know, aw aw, a man, aw aw, with a dark complexion, aw aw aw, with, aw aw aw, something, well, aw aw aw, it may be a bomb, Oh, geez, am I allowed to say that, well, aw aw aw. No, I will not say anything, BUT I will live my life believing and acting upon the old saying, “ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS”, and I shall hum, “I Won’t Back Down”, and still mutter quietly to myself, why did Canadians vote for this dimwit, his father took the debt from 11. something to 206. something?
Politicianophobia says
Hey, maybe next week all the NDP will see the writing on the wall, and change their minds on M-103, side with the Conservatives and want non confidence vote, The silent majority are opposed to M-103. government of, for and by the people, may rule after all.

Politicianophobia says
As long as crazy Imams like Mazin Abdul-Adhim, living in London, Canadian head of Hibtz ut-Tharir is calling for Shariàh law in Canada and agreeing with other Imams about killing Jews, Canadians can say what they want. Bring it on Justine, and good riddance.
LeftisruiningCanada says
Good point.
Placards with their picture and quote would be useful at a protest rally perhaps?
Carol (the 1st) says
When you have to insult your own countrymen, when you have to pretend that needing to silence discourse is a good thing, when you need to shed crocodile tears and virtue signal, when you need to ignore braying imams then you’ve lost your self-respect Justine and need to go home to mama.
Politicianophobia says
I have never doubted God Almighty, and that will be Justine`s downfall.

Strangers within Our Gates or Coming Canadians, 1909
Massive immigration was a problem in US and Canada 125 years ago.
The experiences are recorded in this on line book. They lived the same problems we are having today, but we are not learning from their experiences. The major difference between then and now is that then the government was working to bring in the best immigrants. Today the party in power is bringing in future liberal voters, with no concern about the welfare of the nation.
Here is an on-line book that I urge you to have a look at.
