According to Mufti Aasim A. Rashid of the Al-Ihsan Educational Foundation in Vancouver:
I’ll tell you who wants to bring Sharia Law. The Canadian government wants to bring Sharia Law and this is not a joke…..The Canadian government wanted the Muslims to be able to regulate their own issues of marriage and divorce and set up a system of mediation and arbitration to solve their problems amongst themselves [according] to Sharia Law, so it is not a burden on the court system which is already so bogged down.
Could Rashid have been lying or wildly exaggerating? A link in the article below shows that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said a few bizarre things, including:
- Islam is “not incompatible with the Western secular democracy.”
- “Canadians are quick to point out that ISIS is wrong, that Islam is not incompatible with the Western secular democracy, a free place like Canada.”
- [The Reviving the Islamic Spirit convention] “is also about celebrating our shared beliefs in justice, fairness, equality of opportunity and acceptance. The work you do in communities across the country is what builds and strengthens our multicultural fabric.”
In 2005, then-Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty did the right thing and declared that there would be “one law for all Canadians.” This was the result of a case in 2004 that was advancing the Sharia in Canada. Canada’s first Muslim lawyer, Syed Mumtaz Ali, announced that the “Islamic Institute of Civil Justice” would shortly begin arbitrating family matters on the basis of Sharia, accompanied by his verbal warning that “to be a good Muslim, all Muslims must use these sharia courts.” A heated controversy began that pitted Muslims against each other: those for and those against Sharia in Ontario, which would set a precedent for Canada.
Many women’s groups, including Muslim groups, opposed Sharia. The Muslim Canadian Congress argued that Sharia did not view women as equals, and therefore could not provide equal justice to all parties in a dispute, especially on issues of divorce, child custody and division of property.
McGuinty finally declared: “There will be no sharia law in Ontario. There will be no religious arbitration in Ontario. There will be one law for all Ontarians.”
Since 1991, arbitration decisions were being made according to religious laws and were enforceable in Ontario courts, but the Premier rescinded the Arbitration Act that settled disputes related to commerce, religion and civil issues.
Britain is a good example of how Sharia courts have trampled upon women’s rights. One Sharia court even handed down a sentence approving of honor killing. In another instance, a woman was ordered to return to her abusive, rapist husband.
Sharia advocates will flat out lie to the simple-minded and insist that Sharia is compatible with free societies, and claim that merely going to mosque or praying Islamic prayers is Sharia. To read at least “thirty shariah laws that are bad for all societies”, click HERE.
Canada is under siege by Islamic supremacist interests, while the media is obsessed with the “alt-right.”
“Canada’s Submission to Sharia Law,” by Rachel Ehrenfeld, American Center for Democracy, February 4, 2018:
Canada does not need special Sharia courts. In October 2017, Ontario Superior Court Justice Robert Smith has already ruled in favor Sharia law. The Judge found a Muslim man “not guilty of sexually assaulting his wife” because the government failed to prove that he knowingly violated the criminal code, when “on many occasions [he had sex with his wife] without her consent “as both he and she believed that he had the right to do so.” The man was found not guilty because it was “his honest belief that he had the right to have intercourse with her whenever he wanted.”
Submission to Sharia Law is apparently also accepted by the Toronto District School Board. Its “Islamic Resource Guidebook for Educators 2017” has recommended Taha Ghayyur, known for advocating to gradually implement Islamic Law in North America. Ghayyur is the new Executive Director of the Islamic Society of North America.
Also in October 2017, Mufti Aasim A. Rashid, Al-Ihsan Educational Foundation in Vancouver, spoke at Kamloops B.C., at Thompson Rivers University (the video was uploaded on Muhsineen YouTube Channel on October 21, 2017). He told his audience:
“I’ll tell you who wants to bring Sharia Law. The Canadian government wants to bring Sharia Law and this is not a joke. Why? Because Sharia Law is simply the way Muslims are doing things.”
“The Canadian government wanted the Muslims to be able to regulate their own issues of marriage and divorce and set up a system of mediation and arbitration to solve their problems amongst themselves [according] to Sharia Law, so it is not a burden on the court system which is already so bogged down. The government told us – we would like you to have this system, and we would like to work on these initiatives with you [because] It’s unfair that a screech is created over everything and anything to do with Islam.”
Is Rashid telling the truth? Does the government of Justin Trudeau favor Islamic Law?
In successive television interviews on CBC, in January 2016, Trudeau insisted: “Islam is not incompatible with the Western secular democracy.”
INDEX:
Mufti Aasim A. Rashid, Al-Ihsan Educational Foundation, Vancouver, BC
In a lecture delivered in Kamloops B.C. at Thompson Rivers University (the video was uploaded on Muhsineen YouTube Channel on October 21, 2017), Mufti Aasim A. Rashid said the following:
“I’ll tell you who wants to bring Sharia Law. The Canadian government wants to bring Sharia Law and this is not a joke. Why? Because Sharia Law is simply the way Muslims are doing things. We practice Sharia Law every time we go and pray and we perform the ablution before praying. That’s is Sharia Law. Every time we walk in the house and say “assalamualaikum” [peace be upon you] that’s Sahria Law. Every time we fast during the month of Ramadan, we pay our alms, we go for pilgrimage, it’s all Sharia Law. All of Islam is Sharia Law. What every Muslim does is Sharia Law.
“But I know, I know what people are talking about. They are talking about certain sections of the penal code when a limb might be cut, a person might be flogged or striked for committing a certain act. So I’m here to tell you that those penal codes are not even implemented in most countries that say that they have true Shariah and no Muslim has any intention to bring that here.
“And what I said about the Canadian government, the Canadian government wanted the Muslims to be able to regulate their own issues of marriage and divorce and set up a system of mediation and arbitration to solve their problems amongst themselves [according] to Sharia Law, so it is not a burden on the court system which is already so bogged down. The Canadian government wanted people like myself to sign off on custody cases where there was an allegation of parental abduction to verify that is the parent who was taking the child off to that country, are they Islamically authorized to do so or not, because there are many Muslim countries that we need see that verification from a Muslim scholar.
“That is what Sharia Law means. And the government told us we would like you to have this system, and we would like to work on these initiatives with you. It’s unfair that a scare is created over everything and anything to do with Islam.”
Essentials of Islamic Family Life – A Course Textbook by Mufti Aasim A. Rashid
The following are excerpts from Rashid’s textbook:
Roles, Duties and Obligations of the Husband
Duty: Caring for her deen [religion] and prompting her to fulfill her religious obligations.
Duty: Being protective of her honour and chastity
Details: Make sure she observes ḥijāb and Islamic dress whenever she leaves the house
Not allowing intermingling with non-maḥrams [close family relatives].
Roles, Duties and Obligations of the Wife
Duty: Obeying him [the husband] in all permissible matters
“… the Holy Prophet [Mohammad]… said: If I were to order anyone to prostrate to anyone other than Allah, I would command a wife to prostrate to her husband.” — (Tirmidhi)
Duty: To not leave her house even to visit her own family members, without his
permission
“Men are caretakers of women… As for women of whom you fear rebellion, convince them, and leave them apart in beds, and beat them (lightly without causing injury)…” Q4:34
Duty: To fulfill his physical needs to the best of her ability
Details: A women should not refuse intercourse with her husband without a valid reason
“…the messenger of Allah [Mohammad]… said: When a man calls his wife to his bed, and she declines his invitation (without a valid excuse), and as a result of this, the husband spends the night angry with her, the angels curse her until she wakes up in the morning.” — (Bukhāri)
“Human Rights in Islam and Common Misconceptions” authored by Abdul-Rahman al-Sheha
The book “Human Rights in Islam and Common Misconceptions” authored by Abdul-Rahman al-Sheha, was distributed for free at the Islamic booth at Dundas Square in Toronto.
The following are excerpts from the book that deal with the Sharia Islamic Law:
“The non-Muslim residents of an Islamic state are required to pay a minimal tax called “Jizyah.”
“As for the previously married male or female who commit adultery, the punishment applied to them is stoning to death…”
“If the robber kills and seizes the money, the punishment may be killing and crucifixion. If he takes money and threatens but does not kill or assault, the punishment may be amputation of his hand and leg. If he kills the victim but does not take his money, he may be executed as in murder.”….
mortimer says
Canada is filled with gullible, uninformed, naïve, simplistic, virtue-signalling POLLYANNAS who have not studied Islam’s primary source texts or its authoritative canonical commentaries or its manuals of discriminatory Sharia law, and yet, preposterously, they present themselves as VIRTUOUS, TOLERANT PEOPLE and condemn those who have READ THE BOOKS as ‘intolerant’.
Why do such VIRTUE-SIGNALLING Canadian politicians think that NOT DOING THE HOMEWORK makes them an ‘A’ STUDENT?
Flavius Claudius Iulianus says
I’m calling you out on your statement that: “Canada is filled with gullible, uninformed, naïve, simplistic, virtue-signalling POLLYANNAS …”
How do know that? Are you living in Canada? Have you ever been to Canada? Do you know any Canadians?
The cultures/people of the US and Canada are very similar; more similar than with any other nation on the planet. That border was almost completely porous up until the First World War. Many of my ancestors came from the States or spent time living/working there. If you are an American then when you insult us, you only insulting yourself.
Ray Jarman says
You could have added that 90% of Canadians live within one hundred miles of the US border. Also until recently, neither required a passport to cross into each others’ country. We only required a driver’s license. My favorite place in Canada is Quebec City with its narrow cobble stones streets where book stores actually have people who work there knowledgeable about literary works and the other city I love is on the other side of your nation, Victoria, which is more English than many English cities.
johnnie mccord says
Don’t get upset. The same thing applies in America. We have very stupid people who know nothing about islam but deny what people who have read the koran says. They can’t believe a religion would be so bad,yet they are too ignorant to verify it. Both Canada and America will be taken over because of people like this. They will wake up when it’s too late and then those of us who have fought for both countries time and again will once again have to stand in the breech. Best if luck Canada.
bodega says
I hope regular Canadian ciitizens, you know, non-Muslims, understand exactly what is going on and how Trudeau has compromiised their freedoms. The citizens need to oust. i.e. re-call, Trudeau from office and bring in a non-Muslim who understands the danger of Muslims and their need for Sharia.
Oh, my friends in Canda think none of this will affect them.
I am so, so sorry. Now we will have to build a northern border fence. You know that, right?
Brenda Buruma says
4 years ago I knew nothing about Islam or Muslims. To me islam was just another religion. But when I heard on the news of a Jordanian pilot being burned alive by ISIS I started reading about Islam and continue to this day. Unfortunately if I try to explain to family and friends about how evil it is no one wants to listen or worse yet no one believes me.
When we had our election a few years ago I voted for the candidate that had the best foreign policy but Mr. Harper didn’t win. I followed the US elections to see which of their candidates had the best foreign and immigration policy and i liked what Mr. Trump had to say. I was overjoyed when he won and I am hoping some of his great ideas (especially the wall and proper vetting of new immigrants) will rub off on our new PM but that looks highly unlikely.
I sign any petition that i receive, i write my congressman but don’t know what else to do. You’re lucky you have a great president. The way canada is going it may be a good idea to build a northern wall
gravenimage says
Brenda, I’m glad you decided to learn about Islam. I know what you mean about family and friends–I think most of us here have had these expericences.
Lynne Wright says
I agree 100% with Brenda. I’ve had the same experience where friends and family won’t listen to me. I too in the last three years have started listening to what Islam really is. People are ignorant. Trudeau is ruining our beautiful country.
johnnie mccord says
We are in the same boat they are.
Andy says
If the Canadian Government ever allow sharia law to become the law of the land then the government is “NUTS”
NUTS (means go to hell) when surrounded, out gunned, and almost destroyed.

CLASSIC.
Trump likes Patton’s appreciation of eloquence.
Andy says
AMEN
No Muzzies Here says
I’ve given up on Canada. They brought this about by their votes. If they refuse to save their country by voting for people who care about Canada, then they deserve their fate which is obviously subjugation to Islam.
CRUSADER says
Don’t give up on Canada.
They are the northern barrier….
We need them to contain the membrane, so it doesn’t become pervious.
ACT for Canada!
Walter Sieruk says
What is known as the Stealth jihad otherwise called the Muslim method of Islamic Gradualism To have Sharia law enacted in Canada. In contrast to the way of the violent jihad or also called the militant jihad .This non-violent form of the jihad for Islam is a very sly, insidious, subtle and deceptive way of working for the advancement of Islam.
This Muslim scheme for achieving the goal of the Islamic agenda is as, many times, as subtly effective as it is demonically clever. Furthermore, this Islamic gradualism, in some ways, is very similar to the instruction printed in the book entitled THE ART OF WAR by Sun Tzu. Which reads “At first, then, exhibit the coyness of a maiden, until the enemy gives you an opening; afterwards emulate the rapidity of a running hare, and it will be too late for the enemy to opposes you”
CRUSADER says
Hoping the Chinese living in Canada are paying attention to Sun Tzu….but probably more to LaoTzu….
“Identifying the Enemy” is crucial to ART OF WAR.
Walter Sieruk says
The scheming jihadist /Muslims who attempt to have Sharia law set up in Canada engage in the doctrines of the Islamic doctrine of Taqiyya which is very insidious. Taqyyia is the jihad dogma that deception is a good thing to do as long as it’s done for the advancement of Islam. Nevertheless, the God of the Bible “condemns those who devise wicked schemes…” Proverbs 12:11. [N.I.V.] Likewise, Proverbs 12:20 teaches “Deceit is in the hearts of those who plot evil.”
D-spot says
In the past some of my Canadian friends would take American bashing as a national pass time, to which I would reply “so who would you rather have on your southern border” that usually shut down the discussion. It’s becoming apparent that a great number of Canadians are in agreement with our cousins as it relates to the importation/ invasion of uneducated, woman hating, unemployable misfits. You, however, have one major advantage over us in that you have the 2nd amendment!!
Over and over we see common sense being replaced with nonsense – surely the political class can’t all have been paid off, but $$$ must be involved somewhere.
CRUSADER says
We have to give up the 2nd Amendment when passing through from the Lower48 toward Alaska, however.
Shall the USA just invade Canada and overtake more territory? It might solve many issues….
I’d like to see Vancouver Island and most of British Columbia become American Columbia, for starters.
Maine could annex Quebec, I suppose, as George Washington had initially intended.
What say you?
D-spot says
There was a time when there discussions about the provinces and states forming a new country west of the Rockies called Cascadia – still think it’s a good idea!!
gravenimage says
Remember, Canada under Harper was saner than the US under Obama. neither was very long ago.
CRUSADER says
People were soft during the five year lead up to WW2 and uniformly opposing Hitler.
He got quite a free ride from the West, in the West for half a decade….
We are in that condition now, however, the ride has been years upon years in the offing;
due to the entrenchment of Leftist/Liberal mindset and conditioning by education and media exposure.
Socialists (Nazis) have won that war, in the long run, haven’t they?
pat mott says
Unfortunately the Nazis ‘achieved’ more than at first thought, the Allies won the war but the Nazis killed most of the Jews of Europe which was one of their main intentions, & now the younger generations appear to have forgotten the horrors they inflicted & are heading for similar outrages ,
Tom says
Since when has ignorance of the law been a valid defence in Canadian courts?
The example of the muslim who raped his wife and was not convicted because the crown prosecutor couldn’t prove that he was aware that he contravened the Criminal Code is a travesty and the judge in the case should resign.
We have to fight this type of Sharia creep tooth and nail because if we don’t then we will all be subjected to Sharia Law before we know it.
Trudeau, the Liberals and NDP are a blight on our freedoms and must be made irrelevant in our next federal election in 2019.
Both the Liberal and NDP left wing policies are interchangeable and must be eradicated.

Yes–and this was not some relatively innocent matter, like an immigrant who, say, was not familiar with traffic lights and so was cited for jaywalking.
Instead, this was marital *rape*.
Charlie Dumaurier says
Sharia law mandates circumcision for both males and females. Even mature adults who are non-muslims have to be circumcised. It’s usually done with unsterile equipment and no anaesthetic. God help you if you are found with alcohol or drunk in public. Because of this, Oktoberfest will be cancelled this year.
gravenimage says
Oktoberfest still seems to be on, thank goodness:

Ray Jarman says
Sharia courts is also a step towards Balkanization as it creates hostilities between people of different beliefs. The best words to describe it was George Kennan who used the phrase, “internecine polemics” to describe pre-WWI Balkan nations. Also a voice from the past should be heeded as Otto von Bismarck said that the Balkanization and hostilities would lead to a massive war, which indeed it did. For a nation to exist, there can only be one set of laws for all or it is anarchism and dooms day is not far off. Dante Alighieri wrote in his “De Monarchia” (composed between 1312 & 1313) that “Every Kingdom divided against itself shall be laid to waist.” The entire West should heed these warnings.
Eric jones says
What are the chances of Trudeau being voted out in the next election? Or better yet removed by a parliamentary vote of no confidence ?

Video of Canadian Mufti: “The Canadian government wants to bring Sharia Law and this is not a joke”
………………….
Look at the sick stuff he admits to–and that he is saying he wants to avoid misconceptions: on women–forced Hijab, restriction of freedom of movement, wife beating, and marital rape
Then the payment of Jizya, amputations, and stoning to death.
Gee–imagine if we filthy Infidels actually misunderstood some of this savagery? sarc/off
MFritz says
It’s actually very obvious. The parallel culture will have their own parallel courts too. And if they all vote for Trudeau and his ilk this strategy is considered a “success”. It’s like planting a time bomb on your chair to sit just a bit higher.
And the next thing will also happen – Canada’s society being blown up sky high.
infidel says
Come to think of it: This shameless creature would have entered Canada most probably on a darned refugee visa,, been on welfare all these years, would have only bred more snakes and not contributed a single positive thing to Canada… and now advocating to have his own rules. In any other system, this worm would have been jettisoned back to his hole by the next flight.
UNCLE VLADDI says
Canadian courts are only so bogged down because it’s a money-making industry and there’s no money in solutions! Unlike in the ‘States, Canadian courts will accept malicious and vexatious litigation as infinitum, pretending to give credence to any and all nonsense. Canada has no SLAPP laws whatsoever.
And all the lawyers fraternize outside the court, because when the day is done, the clients move on but they will always have to face each other over the table – thus they all go along to get along, and there’s no real adversity involved. And, being a libertine socialist soft-tyranny, there’s no real right to be impolite to criminals who attack you with lawfare, and no real right to defend yourself either. Canadian judges disdain legal terms and concepts (like “lying;” “fraud;” slander;” etc – and have NEVER prosecuted even a single instance of perjury, ever, despite the concept allegedly existing) preferring to go on hurt feelings and optics and impressions, backed up by anti-logical jargon. It’s a complete travesty. Stay away!
von says
It looks like the Canadian patriots will need to get ready to “rummmmmmmmble ” he sooner the better !
Politicianophobia says
Worldwide we have a problem, the Muslim Brotherhood, not just in Canada–all the dumb Canadians did not vote for Justine. How many cities in the US are now full of Muslims, how many IS training camps are there, who is the co-chair of the DNC, what is the daily lecture by Linda Sarsour and Louis Eugene Wolcott and all the profs? Remember sports fans united we stand-divided we fall, I love the Canada, the United States of America and freedom.
Hogdude says
No Sharia law anywhere where freedom exists.
Conrad says
Canada is a Christian country founded on Christian values. God (of the Christians) keep our land free.
Politicianophobia says
Yes, keep it free for all peoplekind, aw aw you know what I mean. The Mufti should leave Canada if he does not want to follow the Canadian law period
