Following Saudi Arabia’s arrest of two more women’s rights activists, as part of the government’s crackdown on dissidents, Canada responded by demanding the release of the women and accusing Saudi Arabia of human rights violations. Well-known activists Samar Badawi and Nassima al-Sada were among those arrested. Samar is the sister of Raif Badawi, a humanitarian writer and dissident who was “flogged in public 50 times in January. He has 950 lashes and nearly a decade in prison left to serve – simply for blogging about free speech.”
Canada’s rebuke and demands drew the ire of the Saudis, followed by a swift, wrathful response: the Saudis expelled Canadian ambassador, Dennis Horak, froze all trade, announced the withdrawal of all Saudi-sponsored students at Canadian universities, colleges and other schools, and suspended all flights by Saudi Arabian Airlines. Yet Canada stood strong in the face of Saudi accusations. Its display of strength is admirable, as women are being thrown in jail in Saudi Arabia for standing up for their rights. Women are also forced to live under the degrading guardianship system, under which they must seek permission from a male, be it husband, father, brother, son, uncle, to make basic decisions in their lives.
But have the full implications of its actions occurred to the Liberal government of Canada: that it has in fact interfered in the internal business of an Islamic state, run under Islamic law? Could this possibly mean that the government of Canada now intends to stand unabashedly and impartially against the broad range of human rights abuses committed in the name of Islam, such as blasphemy laws, restrictions on free speech, female genital mutilation, forced marriage, black slavery and the like? Hardly, but Trudeau’s government has stuck its neck out, sending the message that it intends to hold to its commitment to defend human rights in Saudi Arabia.
While the world praises the government of Canada for standing against Saudi Arabia’s Sharia practices, there is an inconvenient truth about the Liberal Trudeau administration: it has inescapable internal problems within its own government, including Islamic supremacist influence.
A few examples of why it is perplexing and contradictory that the Trudeau government would suddenly confront Saudi Arabia’s breaches of human rights; breaches that are rooted in Islamic law, which is immutable in its decrees and oppressive and abusive to women:
- In September 2016, Prime Minister Trudeau visited a gender-segregated mosque whose imam is a member of a group with jihad terror connections abroad. After release of the story in the media, journalist Anthony Furey was contacted at his home by the Prime Minister’s Office and pressured to withdraw the story.
- To qualify for summer jobs funding, the Trudeau government forced applicants to check an attestation that they supported abortion, prompting Canada’s former Ambassador to the Office of Religious Freedom, Andrew Bennett, to refer to the Liberal government as having a “totalitarian” bent.
- “When former Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper prioritized Christian and religious minorities for refugee status because they were targeted for extermination by ISIS, Trudeau called this policy disgusting.” Trudeau also reportedly stated that “evangelical Christians were the worst part of Canadian society.”
- As part of Canada’s “action” (crackdown) against “Islamophobia” in its follow-up to anti-Islamophobia Motion M103, Canadian citizens will be monitored for compliance: the Public Service Commission of Canada “offers standardized assessment instruments through its Personnel Psychology Center for use by public service organizations.” These tests are developed with “diverse groups and are monitored and maintained with diversity in mind.” In case anyone wonders which diverse groups will have input, the NCCM and International Relief Fund for the Afflicted and Needy Canada (IRFAN) — a terrorist organization banned by the Conservative Stephen Harper government in 2014 — are among the groups to receive funding by the Trudeau government for its “Islamophobia” crackdown. 23 million dollars of Canadian taxpayer money was thrown out to combat anti-racism initiatives; “Islamophobia” was one of them. Motion M-103 is an expensive government crackdown on free speech.
- Canada also oddly sent a delegation to the 44th session of the Council of Foreign Ministers of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation in 2017.
- After President Trump’s Executive Order to temporarily ban travelers from seven countries of concern, mostly Muslim, Trudeau immediately tweeted out a welcome to refugees: “To those fleeing persecution, terror & war, Canadians will welcome you, regardless of your faith. Diversity is our strength #WelcomeToCanada.” Trudeau has also defended returning ISIS fighters with a personal passion, while under tough questioning by Conservative opposition leader Andrew Scheer in Parliament. Trudeau also refused to acknowledge Christian genocide, as he was pressed to do in the House of Commons by Scheer and Member of Parliament Garnet Genuis.
- At a time when dozens of Islamic State fighters have returned to Canada, the Trudeau government voted to weaken Canada’s anti-terrorism laws.
- I was fired as a Director from the Canadian Race Relations Foundation by the government of Canada on the advice of its then-Heritage Minister Melanie Joly for writing for Jihad Watch and criticizing extensive abuses against religious minorities and women in Islamic nations. Joly has since been demoted to a tourism portfolio. Her decision was made with input from the Muslim Brotherhood-connected National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM). I have also expressed on Jihad Watch my belief in the need to monitor messages being preached in mosques — many of which are spreading Salafist ideology. Ironically, these mosques are largely funded by Saudi Arabia. Joly referred, in her letter to me, to my suggestion to monitor mosques as one example of why I was being scrutinized in my role.
- In 2017, Vancouver, British Columbia imam Aasim Rashid spoke at Thompson Rivers University, where he stated: “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 government told us – we would like you to have this system, and we would like to work on these initiatives with you.” Justin Trudeau also told CBC in January 2016 that “Islam is not incompatible with Western secular democracy.”
- Finally, who could (or should) forget the fantastical multi-million dollar payouts and apologies to infamous jihadist murderer Omar Khadr, and also to Abdullah Almalki, Ahmad Abou-Elmaati and Muayyed Nureddin.
- Trudeau took no position on Bill S-219, which was a bill to “deter Iran-sponsored terrorism, incitement to hatred and human rights violations.” At the height of Iranian protests for freedom, when women were being rounded up and arrested and threatened with acid, rape and abuse over violations of Iran’s compulsory hijab law, there was nothing but silence from the Trudeau government, despite Trudeau’s proclivity to offer a “tweet or pair of socks for almost anything.”
Canada’s Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland responded to Saudi Arabia’s retaliation against Canada that Canada is not backing down from its fight for human rights. She stated:
I will say Canada is very comfortable with our position. We are always going to speak up for human rights; we’re always going to speak up for women’s rights; and that is not going to change….Canadians expect our foreign policy to be driven by Canadian values
Wait a minute. Did she use the term “Canadian values” in promising “always” to speak up for human rights? When Conservatives have used the term “Canadian values” in the past, it was regarded with scorn, deemed to be discriminatory and unfriendly to immigrants, and was treated as the four-letter-word. So it ultimately became a no-go zone, at least until Chrystia Freeland raised it again.
Why the sudden, dramatic change from the Canadian government? Given Canada’s record, it is difficult to entertain the notion that the Liberal government of Canada’s uncharacteristic U-turn is genuine. A genuine move of that sort would require that the government of Canada recognize the broad range of abuses in Islamic states (not just Saudi Arabia) and show sincerity by first cleaning up the dirt in its own back yard. For starters, it needs to end its crackdown against proponents of free speech, human rights, equality and democracy. This can be done by immediately withdrawing its absurd efforts to promote tacit Islamic blasphemy laws via its Motion M-103, which is a blatant affront to free speech, puts Islam above other religions and was crafted by Muslim Brotherhood-linked groups and individuals.
The Trudeau government also needs to change its wide-open, unvetted immigration policy in its quest to protect “Canadian values,” and ban the niqab, which does not align with equality for women; nor is it in the interests for homeland security and Canadian values. Westerners are accustomed to seeing who they are talking to, and to illustrate through a basic example: parents have a right see the face of who may be driving their children to school in a school bus. In the full meaning of “Canadian values” and human rights, is Canada also ready to stand against the Quranic verse that forces full covering upon a woman, otherwise she may be abused? (Quran 24:31, Quran 33:59).
By challenging the human rights abuses against Saudi Arabia, Canada has unwittingly declared war against Saudi Arabia’s Islamic rule and sovereignty.
The government of Canada has traditionally rejected, explicitly, the idea that violence, and abuses against women and minorities have anything to do with Islam, and has claimed that such abuses were committed by an unrepresentative few, such as jihadists of the Islamic State and al-Qaeda.
Canada now finds itself face-to-face with a truth it has denied: that normative Islam sanctions supremacy and abuse. While the Liberal government has been busy making friends of Islamic supremacists and actually believing in the authenticity of such friendships, it now finds itself in the role of the House of War fighting against the House of Islam.
A host of other abuses against women and minorities under the Sharia are practiced in Iran, Pakistan, and in the Sharia-compliant countries of Africa etc.
One wonders what really motivated the Canadian government suddenly to stand for female human rights against Saudi Arabia. Perhaps it has something to do with political posturing during an emotion-generating news cycle. Raif Badawi’s case tugs at the heartstrings of most caring people, and now his sister is in jail, while his wife lives in Canada. Other possible factors might be that the Trudeau’s government just needed to make a pitch to improve its image in the face of embarrassing gaffes, which include his catastrophic visit to India, his “peoplekind” reference, his battles with Trump over the Free Trade Agreement, and widespread criticism of his immigration laxity and his stance on Islamic State jihadists. Election time is also creeping up in 2019. Whatever the reasons, the sudden caring about women in Islamic states just doesn’t jibe with the facts about the Trudeau government.
If (as is unlikely) Canada is being genuine, its government would do freedom-supporters proud if it indeed stands against the global jihad, with the latter’s full range of human rights abuses committed under Islamic law, and sets an example for other Western nations to do the same.
Instead, blowhards will likely deliver what Trudeau needs most: accolades and commendations for intervening on behalf of the women recently jailed in Saudi Arabia, while the other countless victims still suffering under Islamic law will be overlooked.
As expected, Arab states are backing Saudi Arabia.
In the meantime, putting all politics aside, whatever the reason, let’s hope for the best outcome for the women being rounded up and jailed in Saudi Arabia.

Similar to the saying, `a Conservative is just a Liberal who has been mugged’, Trudeau’s Damascene conversion to being an opponent of Islam has taken its first, shaky steps. I sincerely hope he doesn’t back down!
Terry Gain says
Don’t get too far ahead of yourself. Trudeau wasn’t taking a principled stand. He is absolutely shocked by the Saudi reaction. Trudeau thinks Islam is harmless if not benign.

Both ban Christianity, Bibles and Crosses in public schools.
Both set up mosques in public schools.
Both segregate boys from girls in public schools during Friday prayers.

Great article by Ms. Williams.
In addition to the facts Christine has stated, Canada has, in stark opposition to US foreign policy, swung the door open widely to the Shia Mullahs in the Islamic State of Iran (Trudeau wants to preserve the Iranian growth of a nuclear program and save them from sanctions) and this must piss off the Sunnis of Saudi Arabia.
I think that it is important to keep asking this Islamophile Prime Minister if his and Freeland’s tweeting to Saudi signals a deeper concern for the plight of Islamic women all around the world (and in Canada too) or is this just a grandstanding move to take voters attention away from his Islamophobia fixation, his branding Canadians as racists and misogynists who must be shut up/shut down and put under government watch with motions to shut Canadians up about real issues concerning the vile nature of sharia and jihad.

This article is spot on.
My thoughtscare…..there is an election in October 2019. Trudeau has received much criticism for being soft on terrorism with suspicion of favouring muslims for immigration and etc. He needs to change this sentiment to get re-elected. A tweet would guarantee the whole world would see how he wanted to free a Canadian feminist activist arrested in a country known for supression of women as per western stsndards. I don’t think he thought there would be such a huge backlash from the KSA. In simple language again he wasn’t thinking, and/or not thinking about anyone but himself. It will be interesting to see how he will dig himself out of the hole he created with the KSA while preserving his feminist image. Who will be his whipping boy is the question.
mortimer says
OC, agree. Jihadi Justin has blown up the Muslim vote with this. There’s no reconciling the CHASM now between DISCRIMINATORY SHARIA LAW and EQUALITY FOR WOMEN.
The CHOICE between the two is clear … he can lose the WOMEN’S VOTE or lose the MUSLIM VOTE.
He cannot choose both.

What is Canada Trying to Accomplish in Standing Against Saudi Arabia?

I am *heartened* to see this. I was concerned that Canada would throw Ambassador Dennis Horak under the bus.
I am not assuming that this will mean a consistent defense of civilized Western values against Islamic savagery on the part of Canada going forward, let alone the whole of the West–but *any* movement in that direction is welcome and should in my estimation be celebrated.

Thanks for that article. Jihadwatchers are likely to get confused after being told time and again that Trudeau is part of the global conspiracy to help Islam takeover the West. Why would such a man allow anyone to criticize a nation which is implementing Islam? the same Islam which Trudeau (we are told) is protecting to the point where the media will hide the Islamic nature of many crimes occuring in Canada (see Toronto van attack)

One of the scariest parts of this news item is the number of Saudi students being asked to return home by the Saudi Arabian government now. The Canadian newspapers are focusing on the damage to the economy if all these students leave. I am quite relieved to know that 15,000 Muslim Arabs will be leaving our university campuses soon. These Jew-hating students have made our campuses unsafe for Canadian Jews who were born here, never mind the Israeli students who are studying and doing research here. If Saudi Arabia has funded 15,000 students to act on “academic jihad” in little ol’ Canada, I can’t begin to imagine the number of academic jihadis they are funding to study at universities in the USA and Europe.

The guy involved in a conspiracy to protect Islam and let it take over the West does not have time to send a memo to his team about not criticizing Islamic countries for their practices?

There is no conspiracy. He is just a leftist politician and thus unlikely to support to forced deportation of Muslims from the West because of their belonging to the most evil ideology in history. A normal right wing politician would probably have similar reservations.

Ms Williams wrote a most thought-provoking summary, without a loose end to be had, as usual. The fact that it was also personal, and dealt with with such dignity and honesty, makes it more than an opinion. Trudeau’s version of Wag the Dog must be from ventriloquist/magician Butts’ rabbit hat, because all Justin has ever conjured up on his own are a rude succession of bunny farts. You know Mr. Butts, the Principal Secretary guy who called the alt-right media “Nazis” because the ‘non liberals’ among them criticized etymology expert, Prof. Sunny Ways for his “peoplekind” addition to the sparsely-worded English language.
Danforth says
This situation simply proves Justin Trudeau has absolutely no idea how to run Canada, let alone give advise to any other country including Saudi Arabia and, for that matter, the United States via his NAFTA human rights agenda.
He believes he is a great moral leader by dissing the poor female human rights record of KSA. However, I don’t see him supporting Muslimas here in Canada as they are dominated by their Muslim husbands and male family members.
Poor Justin. He thinks no one will notice the contradictions of his pronouncements regarding Islam. He is easily confused when it comes to how to handle the differences between the Islam he hopes is in Canada, versus the creeping and more violent version (RE: Toronto/Danforth shooter, repatriating and paying jihadists,etc) we can expect to hear more of in the future.
Step down now, Justin, before you totally destroy this amazing country we call Canada.
Linde Barrera says
To Danforth- In my opinion, Justin Trudeau loves the jihadis because of his globalist viewpoint and therefore, is not the brightest light in the chandelier. I also think his political biological clock has been “awakened” and realized his re-election time is fast approaching. But I am happy that his government is finally standing up to the bullies in Saudi Arabia. May it continue. And I do agree with you that Canada is an amazing country, even though I am US born and bred and reside in Brooklyn, NY.

It is interesing to see many acid comments addressed to Canada, for its lack of consistency in tackling human rights problems… It is right, and I also consider that the Canadian government lacks experience and makes many mistakes. I do not agree with their actions in many respects. Nevertheless, in this case, they took a good position, correct not from an economic perspective, but from a humanitarian perspective. What people do not comment is that Trump applies an ostrich policy in this case, purposely ignoring the issue, and implicitly encouraging Saudi Arabia on its way of handling issues. So for him the economics aspects are clearly of higher importance than the respect for human rights. It is time to not always see things in black and white, but to rather see mistakes on either side.

In my opinion Trudeau, he who speaks with a forked tongue, is the worst disaster to befall Canada.
I am sure he must have an ulterior motive in publicly defending human rights abuses in Saudi Arabia, when in fact he does not defend the rights of his own citizens in Canada. On the contrary, laws are made to protect and favour Muslims while penalizing Christians, Jews and other citizens who do not agree with his abominable cultural marxist PC ideology.

There is something that I find quite disturbing. My understanding is that those 3 individuals have dual citizenships with Saudi Arabia and Canada. Now when they acquired the Canadian citizenship, they could have abandoned the Saudi Arabia one, since it is a country that obviously does not respect their rights. If citizens keep the citizenship of a country, and when they are physically there, the second citizenship, in this instance Canada, should not interfere with their citizens. I dont see why the Trudeau government interferes with countries that rule their citizens as they please. I find that the Trudeau government is wasting a lot of resources for a few individuals. The only instance where I see a role for the Canadian government is if these individuals were Canadians only and not Saudi Arabian. But it is obviously not the case. You are a citizen of a country, abide by their rules.

Uh…right. Why should Canada care about her citizens when she can abandon them to the tender mercies of a brutal Shari’ah state? Bad dhimmis…

Another comment: So Trudeau is risking the economic well being of Canada for 3 Saudi Arabians? But he wont bat an eye to defend ONE canadian when it is time. That I resent very much. Trudeau is a pure idiot.

The idea that the economic well being of Canada hinges on sucking up to the horrors of Shari’ah is *very* questionable.

Trudeau’s verbal diarrhea has probably added a few more lashes to Raif Badawi’s back as well.

Are they Muslim Brotherhood supporters–something is not quite right here–more to this perhaps–can’t quite put my finger on it . Trudeau does have a love for Iran.

”We are always going to speak up for human rights; we’re always going to speak up for women’s rights; and that is not going to change….Canadians expect our foreign policy to be driven by Canadian values”
Freeland, you forgot to add ”everywhere in the world except Canada”. Given Trudeau’s love for mosques, apparently women have the right to be beaten and Christian fundamentalists have the right to have their throat slit. Civil servants no longer have the right to ask questions to immigrant applicants like: does your religion trump democracy?, does your religion allow you to kill any non-believers. Hopefully, for a little balance, Trudeau will meddle in Iranian affairs so that Muslims of all kind will be repatriated.

How many countries in the Middle East are acceptable to Trudeau? It looks as though he wants to pick a fight with one of the least-worst countries, one that has money to invest in Western countries. I would need to know what is the value of bilateral trade, how many investments does SA have in Canada, and what is the $ value to schools/universities of Saudi nationals attending the same. I hope (but doubt) that he has considered all of this before virtue-signalling to the world. Would he do the same to China?

“Wait a minute. Did she use the term “Canadian values” in promising “always” to speak up for human rights? When Conservatives have used the term “Canadian values” in the past, it was regarded with scorn, deemed to be discriminatory and unfriendly to immigrants, and was treated as the four-letter-word.”
That’s not exactly true. The Trudeau government has used that language in hectoring Christian institutions.

What is Canada planning? Trudeau never had a plan in his life. He wings everything. How will he treat legalized recreational marijuana? According to him, just like tobacco. But Canada forces pictures of people with cancer-riddled mouths, holes in the neck to allow breathing, etc, to eradicate use of tobacco products by the population. So I guess as soon as marijuana is legalized and therefore made easily available to everyone, he is going to start a plan to eradicate the use of cannabis. He has never had a plan in his ife and that includes politics. He never held any political post in his life until he became PM. Brilliant choice, Canada.
