Canada: Islamic Circle of North America conference to feature antisemitic, misogynist speakers

Sep 27, 2018 9:56 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

A lineup of “hateful speakers” is scheduled to speak in Mississauga (near Toronto) on Thanksgiving weekend. The speakers, who are all prominent within Muslim communities in Canada and the U.S., have “engaged in homophobic, misogynistic or antisemitic rhetoric,” according to B’nai Brith Canada. They are being brought in to speak by the Islamic Circle of North America. The speakers include Linda Sarsour, Nazir Ahmed, Ustadh Abdelrahman Murphy, Boonaa Mohammed, and the imam Siraj Wahhaj.

Meanwhile, Canada has been at the forefront of “taking action” against “Islamophobia.” Motion M-103 accuses Canadians of fostering “a climate of fear” against Muslims, which must be “quelled.” For more information about the highly questionable influences behind M-103, click here.

The goal of the “Carry the Light” convention, from Oct. 6 through Oct. 7, 2018, is to “inspire Muslims to implement the true spirit of Islam in their lives” and provide a “platform to share the basis for moral, social and economic development of Canada with Canadian society at large.”

According to Discover the Networks:

The Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) was founded in September 1968 as the American affiliate of Jamaat-e-Islami, South Asia’s largest Islamist group. Jamaat’s militant wing, Hizbul Mujahideen — aka Hizb-ul Mujahideen — owned the Pakistani compound where Osama bin Laden was living at the time of his death.

ICNA’s activities now include “training camps, study circles, speakers’ forums, night vigils, seminars, and retreats,” and it has “established a reputation for bringing anti-American radicals to speak at its national conferences.”

B’nai Brith Canada has started a petition calling for these speakers to be dropped. It is unlikely that ICNA will pay any attention to this.

“SIGN OUR PETITION: Demand Islamic Group Remove Hateful Speakers from Toronto Conference,” B’nai Brith Canada, September 26, 2018:

TORONTO – A bevy of figures who have engaged in homophobic, misogynistic or antisemitic rhetoric are scheduled to speak next week in Mississauga, Ont., at a convention run by the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) Canada.

To demand that the ICNA remove these speakers and replace them with individuals who do not promote homophobia, antisemitism or xenophobia, please sign our petition by clicking here.

The goal of the “Carry the Light” convention, from Oct. 6 through Oct. 7, 2018, is to “inspire Muslims to implement the true spirit of Islam in their lives” and provide a “platform to share the basis for moral, social and economic development of Canada with Canadian society at large,” according to the ICNA.

However, judging by the roster of participating speakers, the event seems more likely to foment anti-Israel hatred and promote antisemitic and homophobic conspiracy theories within Toronto’s Muslim community.

“While B’nai Brith is concerned with the attendance of anti-Israel activist and Louis Farrakhan supporter Linda Sarsour, there is a slew of other speakers who have promulgated antisemitic perspectives and conspiracy theories and even demonstrated sympathy for those convicted of terrorism,” said Michael Mostyn, Chief Executive Officer of B’nai Brith Canada.

“This gathering is allegedly to promote peace, interfaith dialogue and respect. Instead, because of the damaging antisemitic remarks of some of its speakers, it will only further sew the lines of division between Canada’s Jewish and Muslim communities,” he said. “The ICNA must remove these speakers immediately and replace them with community leaders who actually inspire peace and tolerance.”

Last Thursday, B’nai Brith objected in a letter to the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) about the entry into Canada of some of the scheduled speakers, notably Imam Sirah [sic] Wahhaj. In an email, B’nai Brith also strongly urged the ICNA to delete the reprehensible figures it chose to highlight this year…..

    Taking away human rights and civil liberties from women, gays, and kafirs is the MAIN WORK of Muslims. This is called ‘JIHAD’.

    JIHAD is incumbent upon all Muslims, but most Muslims only practice VERBAL JIHAD by denying or DISTORTING the meaning, motive and methods of JIHAD and MISREPRESENT jihad to DHIMMI POLITICIANS.

    The LIB-JIHAD PARTY of CANUCKISTAN is IN BED with the ICNA and its parent group the MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD, a terrorist organization.

    Jihadi Justin never met a terrorist he didn’t like and he instinctively reach for the government checkbook when he meets ISLAMIC TERRORISTS.

    The Left considers the scholarly truth about Islam to be hate speech.

    The irony of the largest magnitude is that the Left neither knows nor cares that Islam truthfully contains plenty of hate speech.

    Useful idiots.

      There were small bursts of enlightenment as islam crushes defeated culture during islam’s imperialism , but those enlightenment by contact were quashed as un-islamic . Tribalism, suspicion, superstition & sharia compliancy quickly douse any flames of free thought.
      Islam remains a prostration in front of dark ignorance.

    Hate and more hate is what we get from these Islamists. No surprise there, but wanna bet that Trudeau and his Liberals see this conference as one of free speech, peace, love and kindness.

    Canadians need to register their disgust at Trudeau and his biased government in 2019 by sending them to the garbage heap of political history where they belong.

    Trudeau is either paid off big time, or a hater of Western morals. Good luck Canada.

    • StellaSaidSo says

      Trudeau is a globalist. He is totally on board with the NWO goal of ‘One World’ government, and the necessary collapse of Canada, the US and Mexico into a single entity (‘North America’) based on the EU model. The destruction of nation states is currently under way. The Muslim hordes are a means to this end.

    Some food for thought:

    Look up Ahmed Ressam and the 1999 New Year’s eve terror attack he planned but screwed up. Origin: Canada. Point of Entry: Port Angeles, WA, USA.

    It appears to me that Trudeau could be Canada’s equivalent of Quisling. Unfortunately, we have a very long, not well secured border with our friends to the North. I would like to think that the RCMP and other LEO entities up there would be looking for and rooting out these types of cells. However, it seems that more and more those charged with protecting the public are taking their cues from places like the UK and Sweden.

      Yes–most Americans and Canadians knew nothing about Jihad terrorism then.

    One thing you can say about this group, they most certainly walk and talk without fear.

    Their advertised platform. “to share the basis for moral, social and economic development of Canada with Canadian society at large” at this conference is reason enough not to allow these speakers into the country. Sounds seditious too me, but I doubt our federal government would agree, and don’t think the Ontario government has the power.

    • Carol the 1st says

      Sep 28, 2018 at 9:12 pm

      “to share the basis for moral, social and economic development of Canada with Canadian society at large” translates as “We muslim top dogs will deign to arrogantly lay out for you dimwit,underdog kafirs our superior path and moral conclusions (‘moral’ focus on diversity of course) that we expect you to comply with and to facilitate in this country you formerly incorrectly assumed was under your charge.

      And BTW why should B’Nai Brith expect we’ll willingly give our personal information and signatures to ICNA the organization that is part and parcel of these pigs?

    “Canadian Parliament votes unanimously to strip Aung San Suu Kyi of her honorary Canadian citizenship.” (Parliament is full of faux-conservatives.)

    https://www.ctvnews.ca/video?clipId=1489539&playlistId=1.4112933&binId=1.810415&playlistPageNum=1&binPageNum=1

    Someone should let them know that she can’t possibly return that piece of paper. The Myanmar military has already used it up in their latrines.

    On a more serious note, you should notice that in this report, CTV news relies on the “expertise” and commentary of Muslim Bengals and their collaborators.

    • Guy Forester says

      Sep 28, 2018 at 2:19 am

      Aung San Suu Kyi is a true patriot, regularly vilified by the MSM, far left, and the jihad supporters. Just like Trump and Kavanaugh, the more I learn about those that hate and vilify them, the more I like them.

      • StellaSaidSo says

        Sep 28, 2018 at 2:54 am

        ‘…the more I like them.’

        Likewise, GF!

        Awesome speech from Kavanaugh. What a disgrace the Dems are.

        • Older Canadian says

          Sep 28, 2018 at 10:02 am

          Stella: You are so lucky to have such a man in your country. His speech was so heartful it made by eyes water with emotion.

          It seems that even Lindsey G finally grew some testosterone producing glands. His response to this witch hunt was very interesting.

          @ Older Canadian

          I’m actually in Australia, OC, but I have spent some time in the US and have always followed events there with great interest. Anyone who did not have a tear in their eye while Kavanaugh was speaking IMO has a heart of stone. I was very impressed with Lindsay Graham’s remarks, too.

    Being the political junkie I am, I watched the hearing from beginning to end. Yes Stella, “What a disgrace the Dems are.”

    I have sent my objection to all of the above speaking in Canada to my MP and others–like something might happen–with M-103, I may be arrested for protesting the hate speakers coming to Canada. What a screwed up world we live in.

    2019 THE LIBERAL PARTY OF CANADA MUST LOSE OFFICIAL PARTY STATUS.
