This is more of the effort to exploit the New Zealand massacre to shut down all criticism of Islam and all opposition to jihad terror. Darrell Furgason’s video would have passed largely unnoticed, but now Leftists and Islamic supremacists are moving in for the kill, aiming to quash all dissent, no matter how muted and small-scale it is. Islamic jihad terrorists link Islam to violence to all the time, but “Islamophobia” propagandists such as Todd Green, who calls Furgason’s video “racist” and claims it veers close to white supremacism (what race is Islam and jihad terror again? I keep forgetting) never notes that, and claims that the evil lies only with those who notice that link. This is a tactic that has been used a thousand times before, and no one in the establishment media ever stops to ponder why the fault lies with people such as Darrell Furgason and not with Islamic jihadists who cite the texts and teachings of Islam to justify jihad violence and make recruits among peaceful Muslims.
“Chilliwack school trustee defends video linking Islam to violence,” by Ash Kelly and Taran Parmar, City News 1130, March 17, 2019:
CHILLIWACK (NEWS 1130) – An almost two-year-old video featuring a Chilliwack school trustee is being called racist and Islamophobic after resurfacing in the wake of New Zealand’s terrorist attack that left 50 people — the majority of them Muslims — dead.
In the over 20 minute long video titled “Allah & Yahweh: The Same God?” trustee Darrell Furgason links Islam to violence and says Muslims need to be “freed” from their religion. He also pits Christianity against Islam and says the two religions could never co-exist.
“In Islam there’s no real democracy, restricted freedom, limited rights. Christianity can produce a healthy democracy if the righteous are in authority,” Furgason says in part of the video.
“Heaven for a Muslim involves sex and alcohol where supposedly you get 72 virgins. Some say you can even write a list and bring 72 of your relatives into heaven with you if you blow yourself up.”
Islamophobia expert Todd H. Green says the video is racist and Islamophobic, adding it promotes the inaccurate idea that Muslim extremism is a mainstream issue.
“In terms of ‘they are a threat to us, they hold nothing in common with us,’ the video does not get into the overt white supremacy that you find in people like Anders Breivik or the New Zealand perpetrator but it’s moving in that direction,” Green told NEWS 1130.
“Islamophobia is racism. It is deliberately casting Muslims as against us with the understanding that us is oftentimes either Christian or, in many cases, white.”
Green adds “othering” religions and races can lead to violence.
When contacted by NEWS 1130, Furgason claims he was only explaining the differences between the religions and their deities.
“There are Jihadist groups that are being monitored in Canada right now. There are no Christian terror groups being monitored. I think you should look that up,” he told a NEWS 1130 reporter.
“Muslims can be peaceful. I have no problem with that, but Islam as a political ideology cannot be peaceful. Now am I saying Muslims can’t be peaceful? I repeat myself, no. There are peaceful Muslims and hopefully we have some.”…
Furgason condemned the attack in New Zealand and said he doesn’t condone violence against Muslims. He repeatedly asserted that he does not believe Christian or white terrorism is an issue anywhere in the world….

What nerve! Contradicting the left-wing narrative!

Well we have people saying police need to understand culture difference when arresting muslims etc is the left really saying that has nothing to do with islam.

Refutation of Green’s unsubstantiated claims: “Islamophobia is racism. It is deliberately casting Muslims as against us with the understanding that us is oftentimes either Christian or, in many cases, white.”
1) Islam is a political ideology according to Islam’s top authorities.
2) Islam is a political ideology and thus criticism of Islam falls into the category of political science.
3) Criticism of a political ideology (Islam) is in no way racist because Muslims come from all races, as do communists and fascists.
4) Most Christians are not white in 2019. Most Christians are African and Asian.
Green’s fantasy claims show he has a hidden agenda that he is promoting, namely to marginalize and neutralize Christians and by removing their human rights of free speech, free assembly and opinion.
Jayme says
There has been a push to ban groups on the right from protesting however many legal experts warned those pushing this it would lead charter issues.
canada1950 says
Agree 100%. As soon as protests against Islam start, they are shut down and are yelled at as being racists. I wish we had the old Canada back!
revereridesagain says
Green — an “expert” on an irrational concept, namely that aversion to the ideology of Islam is a mental illness — counts on his readers/listeners to be ignorant of the contents of Islamic “scripture” and jurisprudence and evaders of the fact that Islam is not a race and most Christians are not white. Green is not an “expert” except at being a political con artist.
Jack Cade says
Islam is the doctrine of Satan. It was conceived by a lying, looting, raping, murdering, perverted, psychopathic pedophile. Of course, it is linked to violence!

Hundreds of thousands of Christians have been killed in the Middle East, Africa and the Phippines in the last 17 years by Muslims following the commands contained in the Koran and there has not been a peep about it from the deranged Leftists who run the media. So take your accusations of Islamophobia for telling the truth about Islam and shove them where the sun don’t shine.

From the internet: “Tood H. Green also proposes healthier ways for majority populations to engage Muslim communities other than through the prisms of violence and counterterrorism.”
Tood H. Green thereby, with his suggestive indecency, presumes that majority populations concur with the Elites about mass invasion af preople from poor countries equipped with a religion opposed to democracy in the receiving ‘rich’ countries.
To this we may comment:
1) The majority populations are seldom or never heard in questions on islamic migration.
2) The Elites in power clearly ignore and condemn any resistance or antagonism towards receiving uncontrolled masses of extreme poor and hostile migrants.
3) It is as the politicians in power everywhere do not permit any other course of action than continued illegal mass migration, thus reducing the democratic process to an empty spectacle.
The end result is a slow but unavoidable drift towards a fascistic oligarchy with suppression of free speech and covert control of common people. Political correctness will be the only accepted standard of behaviour.
The politicians use many tools to indoctrinate the ignorant populations; primarily by training the MSM to obey any commands to exclude alternative political opinions.
You are either islamophilic or islamophobic, and the Elites interprete anything not 100% islamophilic as 100% islamophobic – that is todays absolute law, already in force in countries like Sweden, France, U.K. and Germany.
Welcome to the glorious future globalistic islamic hellhole, whether you like it or not.
Westman says
Todd H. Green – the nonsense that replaced ideology-aware advisors on Islam like Robert Spencer.
From Green’s website. Yes, he makes money from serving as an Islam apologist: “He has also given lectures on Islamophobia to other federal agencies, including the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security.” https://toddhgreen.com/
Subtitle of his book: “Why We Shouldn’t Ask Muslims to Condemn Terrorism”
While tooting his horn, prof Green sells Islam as “victim” while demeaning the US. Another brainwasher of incoming university students?
Terry Gain says
Islam is a conquest ideology. Anyone who consider Islam a victim is deranged.

How do you say “whore of Allah” in arabic? Pardon my language, but there is no other way to describe someone who would write the words “Why We Shouldn’t Ask Muslims” (or anyone else) “to Condemn Terrorism”.
Westman says
Here is a question that Green, Tlaib, Omar, and Sarsour will never answer: “Although there are no significant genetic differences between Pakistan and India we never hear of terrorism, grooming gangs, etc from Hindus upon the West. Since Pakistanis and Indians are the SAME RACE, how can you claim criticizing Islam is racism? Where is the Hindu ISIS? The difference between Pakistan and India IS Islam.
And why is it that the entire Western world is wary of Islam yet not wary of Indian Hindis? When you play the victim the world, it seems, is to blame for your own failures.
WPM says
It is the same in the Philippines, in Russia , in Africa, race and genetic make up play zero factor in violent terrorism of Islam .It would be like saying all communist are white, or believers in capitalism system blue eyed blonds.

David Wood is always spot on !
Jayme says
There is a case in Ottawa where a muslim man touched 6 women and then died in the hands of the police some said they were to ruff etc.
Outside of his death and no he should not have died the concerning thing is how the left reacted they said you should not call the police also they said people need to understand where he comes from touching women is not illegal.
Terry Gain says
There is no excuse for this Muslim not controlling himself. When in Rome, do as the Romans. I’m not inclined to believe he was roughed up by the police. I take into account who would make that sort of claim.

Thank you for airing this item because the Canadian media is out to silence him. Nothing that is in his presentation is inaccurate. The reaction to the truth shows just how little Canadian citizens know about Islam, how much Kool-Aid they have consumed that has been served up by apologists and spokespersons from the Muslim clergy, and how much work is left to do to provide accurate information to those trusting sheeples.
It would be excellent to have a way to contact Mr. Darrell Furgason to show as much support and reassurance for him as possible because he is going to be raked across the coals by ignorant media and population and might lose confidence and status in his community. Does Chilliwack have its own newspaper? Sometimes people need to see something in black and white.

The main reaction quoted above is not from clueless Canadians, but from another typical American leftopath determined to meddle in Canadian affairs in support of defending the global jihad: Todd Green is Associate Professor of Religion at Luther College in Decorah, Iowa, and a former U.S. State Department advisor on Islamophobia in Europe.
Pretending that the global crime-gang called islam is a “race” of poor swarthy animal-people, oppressed by the mentally superior whites, in order to slander everyone who notices it’s a crime-gang as a hatefully bigoted “racist” – is to deliberately enable that crime-gang’s crimes by hiding and destroying the evidence of same, and thus to be a willing accessory to those crimes. Since islam is a murder-gang, and the penalty for committing and enabling the commission of murder is DEATH, anyone and everyone who calls an opponent of muslims, islam, and their global jihad, a “racist!” should be lawfully put to death.
Everyone who defends islam and muslims endorses crime.
Endorsing crime IS a crime, so those doing it are criminals.
Right in the Qur’an is: the obligation to murder Jews and Christians (Surah 9:29), to terrorize all non-Muslims (8:12), to rape young girls (65:4), to enslave people for sex (4:3), to lie about one’s true goals (3:54), and the command to make war on all the infidels (9:123) and subjugate the entire world to Allah (9:33).
Are death-threats legal? NO.
Is extortion legal? NO.
Is slavery legal? NO.
Is murder legal? NO.
Is rape legal? NO.
THEN ISLAM IS ILLEGAL!
Rape, slavery, robbery, extortion and murder are never OK!
Everything muslims pretend to see as “holy” is already a crime!
So nobody has a legal right to practice islam anywhere on earth!
CRUSADER says
Muslim martyrs get to extend material existence in Paradise after this material life is over?
They get to drink wine because the 72 raisins (former grapes) which they receive as reward can be pressed and then fermented for libation and enjoyable consumption, is that correct?

I just watched this video, and to read the accusations above you would think it was mothing but a hate-filled rant. Actually, it is a very level-headed overview of the differences between Islam and Christianity. Colleges used to offer courses in Comparative Religion all the time, Now a person can’t even have a rational discussion of anything mentioning Islam without being accused of Islamophobia. The man couldn’t have been more respectful in his presentation.

At least Darrell Furgason did not back down.
He dis not say anything wrong
UNCLE VLADDI says
Todd Green is Associate Professor of Religion at Luther College in Decorah, Iowa, and a former U.S. State Department advisor on Islamophobia in Europe. Perhaps he should keep his snout out of Canada.
