Dark times in Canada. “Anti-hate” – who decides what’s good and what’s forbidden? Terror tied groups like CAIR? Antifa? Freedom of speech is the foundation of a free society. Without it, a tyrant can wreak havoc unopposed, while his opponents are silenced.
Putting up with being offended is essential in a pluralistic society in which people differ on basic truths. If a group will not bear being offended without resorting to violence, that group will rule unopposed while everyone else lives in fear, while other groups curtail their activities to appease the violent group. This results in the violent group being able to tyrannize the others.
Islamic law forbids criticism of Islam, Quran, Muhammad. If they cannot be criticized, we are in effect accepting Islamic law as overriding the freedom of speech. This would establish Muslims as a protected class and prevent honest discussion of how Islamic jihadists use the texts and teachings of Islam to justify violence and supremacism.
The concept of Islamophobia has two meanings. Few ever make any distinction between them. One is the brutalization of innocent Muslims, which is never justified. The problem is that the label is also used to refer to analysis of how Islamic texts and teachings incite to violence.
Any criticism of jihad terror that examines its ideological roots in Islam is called Islamophobia, The word is used to intimidate people into thinking there is something wrong with opposing jihad terror. This deforms our response to terrorism by placing off-limits any examination of its guiding ideology, and effectively enforces Sharia blasphemy laws in the US by placing Islam, Quran, Muhammad beyond criticism.
If speech that offends a group is outlawed, that group has absolute power, and a free society is destroyed. A group that cannot be criticized cannot be opposed. It can work its will no matter what it is, and no one will be able to say anything to stop it.
Inoffensive speech needs no protection. The First Amendment was developed precisely in order to protect speech that was offensive to some, in order to prevent those who had power from claiming they were offended by speech opposing them and silencing the powerless.
A free society is by its nature one in which people put up with others being uncivil and offensive. The alternative is a quiet authoritarian society in which only one opinion is allowed and the others are silenced, and ultimately sent to the camps.
The quran is full of hatred and violence. Will Trudeau ban the quran?
Canada Moves to Ban Christians From Demonstrating in Public Under New Anti-Hate Proposal
The Canadian province of Ontario is considering legislation that would officially criminalize Christianity.
Big League Politics, May 20, 2019:Legislation proposed in the Canadian province of Ontario would criminalize public displays by Christians deemed hateful to Muslims, the LGBT community and other victim groups designated by the left.
The bill, “Prohibiting Hate-Promoting Demonstrations at Queen’s Park Act, 2019,” bans any demonstration, rally or other activity that is deemed hateful by the Speaker from being permissible on legislative grounds – effectively insulating the government from Christian speech.
Life Site News explains that the nebulous nature of Canada’s anti-hate laws essentially give leftist legislators carte blanche to ban all Christian protest:
The problem with this bill, however, lies in the fact that the definition of “hate” is uncertain under Canadian law. As a result, unfortunately, the use of the word “hate” can be a useful tool for some to prevent differing views from being expressed. That is, the word “hate” can be used to silence opposing views expressed when, in fact, the views are simply a reasonable expression of belief.This concern is based on actual experience. Canadians have already experienced the contempt shown by the Supreme Court of Canada towards Section 2 of the Charter of Rights which provides for freedom of opinion, expression and religion. In the Trinity Western Christian University case (2018), a private Christian university’s moral covenant was deemed hateful and discriminating. In the Bill Whatcott case (2013), the Supreme Court of Canada concluded that the effects of an expression used, not the communicator’s intent, are what is relevant. The court went on to conclude that “truthful statements and sincerely held beliefs do not affect the finding of “hate”. Mr. Whatcott merely expressed in his pamphlet the well-established facts about homosexuality which the court held to be “hateful”. It is worth noting that the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal, presumably consisting of equally learned judges, had previously concluded that the pamphlet was not hateful. The Supreme Court of Canada prides itself on being a “progressive” court and has an established bias as evidenced in a series of decisions that have struck down laws based on traditional values. There is little likelihood that the court will protect tradition-based groups if they are denied the right to demonstrate at the provincial legislature.
As Canada becomes more restrictive toward Christianity, they open their arms for the LGBT agenda and Islam to take a foothold in their culture.The Royal Canadian Mint issued a commemorative coin last month to celebrate homosexual love as a core principle of Canadian society.
“Marking 50 years since a landmark decision that began a process of legal reforms to recognize the rights of LGBTQ2 Canadians is a powerful way to recognize Canada’s profound belief in equality and inclusion,” said Marie Lemay, president and CEO of the Royal Canadian Mint.
Meanwhile, the far-left Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been revealed to be plotting different ways to bring ISIS terrorists to his nation and possibly be re-introduced in public life.“None of the options are ideal and all present different challenges and risks,” said the three-page secret paper, which was heavily redacted after its release through the Access to Information Act.
As globalism and liberalism takes a stronger hold in Canada, the government can be expected to become even more hostile to Christianity and more hospitable to subversive agendas.
Victoria says
Islam is incompatible with the LGBT agenda. Muslims drop gays from high places. Has my old homeland become so dumb they don’t realize that? Where are the Canadians I knew in the forties? Is it really too late to save that beautiful country? I hope America wakes up before this creeping global shadow settle all over the earth.

Well I guess the next step is to ban Christianity and impose Islam
Then ever then everything will be peaceful right?

KWJ says
The Islamic Party of Ontario, a political party, has on their platform for ban homosexual marriage and they believe there are only two genders. That’s besides them wanting to ban abortion, obscenity, vulgarity, alcohol, gambling, and all laws must be in accordance with God’s rules. Besides, as we’ve already seen in France, Muslims harassing and surrounding a transvestite, homosexuals fear for their lives in Chechnya, Nigeria, Pakistan, etc.
Apparently getting rid of Christianity is a Marxist thing since devout Christians have more in common with devout Muslims than any leftist.
Forget if you hear the likes of Ilhan Omar sounding like she supports LGBTQ because the Muslim Brotherhood doesn’t…that’s maruna talking.
Canada is sliding into fascism or totalitarianism, whichever you prefer. Lack of free speech is totalitarian.
Probably letting in all these ex-ISIS members to eventually terrorize you like mercenaries. Studies have shown de-radicalization doesn’t work well at all and there are too many mosques radicalizing people.
I would be as concerned about America. We have these camps of bad people with weapons training. It’s one of the more disgusting things officials in our country allow on our soil.
Islamophobia means an irrational fear of Islam. Ask those who opposed Ayatollah Khomeini about their fear of Islam and what they destroyed on their culture and how many Iranians were killed. There are Muslims who fear Islamic law. One should fear Islam as much as communism, fascism or Marxism, etc. It isn’t about terrorists but rather Muslims who agree with the Islamic Party of Ontario or the Muslim Brotherhood.
Well, Trudeau is a traitor to Canada. A puppet to globalist socialists wealthy elite marionettes.

Put on the FULL Armor of God!!!
Benedict says
I perceive that you want to radicalize Christians, “Crusader” – ? and that is an honorable goal in my opinion. So why don’t you enumerate the the pieces of armor G’d ordains, according to the apostle Paul and his words, that you quote from – I suppose you don’t intend to twist the text to serve *your* ends? – and provide a little expository reading, so that the readers don’t confuse Christian radicalization with Islamic radicalization?
CRUSADER says
Benedict,
That’s a “good” thing to “speak” to.
Feel free to expound on St Paul and the FULL Armor of God.
Best that folks individually look up the verses in the Gospel for themselves,
however. Makes such an enormous difference, spiritually and intellectually.
(It’s astonishing how few Catholics have done that!)
The battle is in the mind, after all. (Ergo, the Helmet of Salvation)
— that’s a freebie, just one of the armor elements….
(Meanwhile, I didn’t get your reference, Benedict, in the latter part of your paragraph … please explain…. thank you.)
Benedict says
“your reference” – I’m not quite sure what you are after? Will a reference to Jacques Ellul and his thoughts about the subversion of Christianity under the influence of Islam do?
Hilly says
Since most readers will likely not take the time to look up those verses, I’ll just go ahead and place them here. No offense meant, Crusader. ☺️❤️
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.” Romans 1:6

Ephesians 6:10-20
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.
11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.
12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.
13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.
14 Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
15 and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace.
16 In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one;
17 and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God,
18 praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints,
19 and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel,
20 for which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.
CRUSADER says
Thank you Hilly! Very helpful. (Still good for people to turn the pages of the Bible at quiet moments, themselves.)
Yes, Benedict, please expound on Jacques Ellul and his thoughts about the subversion of Christianity under the influence of Islam…. That’d be helpful.
Benedict says
“please expound on Jacques Ellul and his thoughts about the subversion of Christianity under the influence of Islam…” –
Crusader, I will leave that to you or Hugh Fitzgerald, if he could find it worthwhile. I have been warned not to go OT, and I’m not sure such a topic will be approved by JW. Also I’m not an academic and have no pretensions to be, and the topic is not suited to be fitted into the space of a comment anyhow.
CRUSADER says
Benedict, not sure how this particularly is “off topic”
considering the topic is about Christianity and banning its message…
It’s important to understand its message, particularly as it relates to
Islam and to those who attempt to be inspired to counter Islam’s
spread of dread. Additionally, it is important to see what the enemies
of Christianity are adversely saying….
Here is a little review, to get a taste of what you, Benedict, cryptically
presented in prior mention:
“The Subversion of Christianity”
by Jacques Ellul
”
Pointing to the many contradictions between the Bible and the practice of the church, Jacques Ellul asserts that what we today call Christianity is actually far removed from the revelation of God.
Successive generations have reinterpreted Scripture and modeled it after their own cultures, thus moving society further from the truth of the original gospel. The church also perverted the gospel message, for instead of simply doing away with pagan practice and belief, it reconstituted the sacred, set up its own religious forms, and thus resacralized the world.
Ellul develops several areas in which this perversion is most obvious, including the church’s emphasis on moralism and its teaching in the political sphere. The heart of the problem, he says, is that we have not accepted the fact that Christianity is a scandal; we attempt to make it acceptable and easy — and thus pervert its true message.

People who make entertaining movies can make no case for Christ.
The very medium inevitably turns potential disciples into spectators amusing themselves for a while thus obfuscating the gospel and the call to repentance.
The organs for faith are the ears, not the eyes.
“So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
“How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!
But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God
CRUSADER says
Benedict, your reply comes across as flippant, trite and vapid, sorry to say.
“The Case For CHRIST” has well-researched content, and was well received.
Too bad you couldn’t listen as well as see….
Sorry the average folk aren’t erudite enough for you, but messages have to come out somehow and in some form so people turn their heads toward learning more in order to learn more…
Best thing is for people to read the Bible, itself, but then that takes eyesight, in most cases.

Benedict says
“Canada Moves to Ban Christians From Demonstrating in Public Under New Anti-Hate Proposal.” —
Christians are not called to public demonstrations, so why don’t they conduct open air meetings instead and proclaim the gospel? Can a democratic elected administration deny Christians that?
The most famous verse in the Bible, John 3:16, that condenses the gospel, is pure love-speech, but its content is considered shirk in Islam. The good news about the reconciliation between G’d and man is the most offensive message Muslims can ever hear, because the lying spirit incorporated in Muslims through Islam hate this message.
Will Justin Trudeau and his cabinet also move to ban this kind of speech because it is so extremely offensive to Muslims?
This was how it was in the beginning and this is how it will be in the end, Acts 4:
“And they called them, and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus. But Peter and John answered and said unto them, Whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye. For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard. So when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding nothing how they might punish them, because of the people: for all men glorified God for that which was done.”
CRUSADER says
Fundamentally, Islam is at odds with Christianity.
Has been so since Islam encroached upon Christendom,
and certainly came to a head during the many eras of Crusades.
The “interfaith” sentiments lose the crux of what makes Islam
so diametrically different and counter to Christianity.
It is virtually impossible to blend the two “faiths” into Chrislam
without altering the key meaning of Christianity; whereas Islam already
has twisted the truth in order to make global material world conquest
feasible for Moslem ideology.
This is why it is clear that Al-Lah was Ba’al, after all.
Benedict says
Muslims have via their false prophet fallen for the satanic temptation that Christ resisted:
“Again, the devil took Him to a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. “All this I will give You,” he said, “if You will fall down and worship me.” Matt. 4
Every time a Muslim falls down and puts his forehead to the ground he worships the devil in order to gain the whole world – but alas, he is thereby losing his soul and squandering time and ultimately eternity.
Jack Cade says
I shake my head at the ignorance of people who say it does not affect them because they are “not Christian”. Muslim barrows don’t care about that; your head will be severed anyway!

CogitoErgoSum says
Yes, if the Muslims gain control those who are not Christians (or Jews) will be forced to accept Islam or die. Those who are classified as the “People of the Book” will be allowed a third choice of living (in humiliation) without becoming Muslims if they are able to come up with whatever Jizya the Muslims decide to exact from them. This is per Quran 9:29 and if anyone can tell me when this verse either expired or was abrogated please let me know because I am of the opinion that it is a verse that stands until the return of Isa (the Muslim version of Jesus), who, according to Muhammad, will be the one who abolishes the Jizya and then kills ALL who refuse to become Muslims.

As a retired lawyer who practiced law in Ontario for 42 years, I better be right. I admire Ms Geller, but sometimes she needs to curb her enthusiasm. Her article reflects poorly on this cherished site.

Terry, I don’t think that Ms. Geller reporting on this story reflects poorly on Jihad Watch. In fact, standing against this aggressive attempt to crush freedom of speech is very important.
Jihad Watch is, in fact, a long-time champion of freedom of speech.
thebigW says
kinda confusing. from Terry Gaines link–the guy who’s pushing this bill 84 is a conservative Jewish guy who’s against Muslim activists who demonstrate against Israel; some Lefty writes an article condemning the bill, even though you’d think a Leftist would like it. did the guy promoting the bill 84, Roman Barber think that by banning everybody from the public square who’s supposedly preaching hate, that at least he could also ban Muslims too? extra confusing, ’cause this Roman Barber feller is a friend and supporter of Faith Goldy and she’d NEVER be in favor of this kind of bill. Somethin’ don’t square up, here.

Roman Barber probably would not expect this bill to wind up hurting Jews and Christians, but every attempt to curb freedom of speech in the West has led to just that. I really doubt this would ever be used against Muslim hate speech, whatever its intent.

Canada didn’t do anything dummy. You and others, including Graven Image, have been misled by Geller’s brain dead and dishonest report. Thus is a private member’s proposed bill in Ontario, which is unlikely to pass. It does warrant “Canada moves”, which is shamefully dishonest propaganda.
CRUSADER says
Seems that Trudeau is an apple which didn’t fall far from the tree.
Lord Kenneth Thomson of T.O. told me in the 1990s that he thought

Joe says
Terry, in a technical way, you are right and wrong. You are right that this bill, even if passed, does not affect everything in Canada. You are wrong in that the bill is inside Canada and can be seen as evidence that there is a movement to suppress Christianity in Canada.
I haven’t seen numbers for Canada, but I have seen about 50 or so articles where “hate” crimes were successfully prosecuted in Canada. And the Canadian legislature has several disturbing bills in process. Ms. Geller is correct to say that “hate” is a thing in Canada.
Canada seems to be moving in the same direction as Great Britain. In that country, several thousand people are jailed each year for saying the wrong thing. For example, a guy went to jail for teaching his girlfriend’s dog a few Nazi tricks as a joke.
In addition, Ms. Geller does a good job of demonstrating the mischief of “hate” legislation. It is that kind of push back that will lengthen the time where some freedom of expression will be tolerated. Yet already, Canada no longer has freedom of speech. You can easily go to jail for expressing a non-violent opinion.
As such, Ms. Geller’s article is certainly not misleading. I grant that it could have been placed in a better context.
Terry Gain says
Joe
Ms Geller’s article says Canada moves to ban Christians from demonstrating. This is a lie. Canada did no such thing. A private member in Ontario has proposed such a Bill. It is unlikely to pass. Ms Geller should contain her hysteria.
Those of us who oppose Islam’s latest attempt at conquest do not control the means of communication. The media portrays us as hysterics. It is extremely counterproductive to our cause if we are not scrupulously honest.
mummymovie says
And the slope gets slipperier…
I guess the Supreme Court will be doing the “deeming”, but under advisement and pressure from pro-hijra/jihad, terror-tied, CAIR-like “advocacy” groups, most likely.
This is civilization jihad and islamization rapidly advancing and progressing in full-swing.
I’m sure Trudeau’s Muslims now in Canada, and his 1 million Muslim migrants he has declared are currently en route to Canada will be joining in the celebration of homosexual love by purchasing the LGBT commemorative coin, don’t you think?
What an outrageous Transgressive-left legacy of multiculturalism, diversity, and “tolerance” the dhimmi and jihad-facilitator Trudeau will have under his belt: And there will be no way of ever undoing it. How long will leftist Transgressives stay in denial when these war-hardened animals begin terrorizing people in their hipster-gentrified downtown areas of Canada’s metropolitan areas?
And it’s ugly for all of us: Even if America were to somehow successfully stop the importation of islam to its shores, we will still have Trudeau’s million+ unvetted third world Muslim migrants/”refugees/asylees” just a nightly dash away, right across the border.
Geoffrey Britain says
The means to stop Jihad are easily determined, it’s the consensual will to do so that is lacking. Once the threat is no longer deniable, having become personal… liberal useful idiots and the LGBTQ crowd will get on board and then the consensual will to fight Islam will emerge.
Hint: the key to successfully fighting Jihadism lies within it’s own beliefs.
Truth: You gain leverage over an enemy when you attach to their aggression… what for them is intolerable consequence.
Strategic principle: ‘Radical jihadists, i.e. the most devout of Muslims, welcome death. Whereas, what they fear above all else is Allah permanently denying them entrance into paradise, if when they arrive at Paradise’s gate, they are in an “unclean” state.
Hint: that is why they freak out if they come in contact with any part of a pig. Truth: It takes a special cleansing ritual to return an “unclean” Muslim to a state of cleanliness. And Allah in the ‘sacred’ Qur’an has declared that no “unclean” Muslim can ever enter Paradise.
And, because Muhammad repeatedly declared himself NOT to be the Qur’an’s author but one who merely took dictation from the archangel Gabriel who perfectly transmitted Allah’s direct testimony for transcription… not even one comma can be changed in the Qur’an. Since fallible mankind is literally incapable of ‘correcting’ infallible Allah.
Their own beliefs can be used as “a terrible swift sword” against them, once the West fully awakens to Islam’s murderous threat.
CRUSADER says
Well, that’s why Jihad Watch attempts to educate about Jihad/Shari’ah…
I wonder what Jamie Glazov, author of “Jihadist Psychopath” might think
of your interesting assessment, Geoffrey Britain. Have you read his book?
Offensive/Defensive playbook is what Counter-Jihad-ers need more of….
caveat to the “unclean” Muzzie at the entrance way to “Paradise”:
if a jihadist is martyred in the heat of battle with blood and mutilation
displayed on his body, it becomes more sacred, for some weird reason.
It’s sort of like how a kamikaze pilot was deemed “honored in heaven.”
Geoffrey Britain says
“Any criticism of jihad terror that examines its ideological roots in Islam is called Islamophobia, The word is used to intimidate people
into thinking there is something wrong with opposing jihad terror. This deforms our response to terrorismby placing off-limits any examination of its guiding ideology, and effectively enforces Sharia blasphemy laws in the US by placing Islam, Quran, Muhammad beyond criticism.”There I fixed it. The purpose and goal of accusations of Islamophobia is indeed to intimidate. But NOT to convince the infidel that there is something wrong with opposing jihad terror. The purpose and goal of accusations of Islamophobia is to disconnect jihad terrorism from its source… which is Islam itself. Allowing that connection to flourish in the minds of the infidel is to spread the understanding that Islam is utterly incompatible with the West’s Civilizational precepts. A widespread understanding that, Islam is NOT a religion but instead a violently expansionist, murderous totalitarian ideology that wraps itself in a facade of religious pretense… is a direct threat to jihad in all its forms.
CRUSADER says
Excellent, Geoffrey Britain!
Thanks for the fix on that.
You’d probably appreciate this word play….
Is it “complete”, “finished” or “completely finished”?
No English dictionary has been able to adequately explain the difference between these two words – “Complete” or “Finished”.
In a recent linguistic competition held in London and attended by, supposedly, the best in the world, Samdar Balgobin, a Guyanese man, was the clear winner with a standing ovation which lasted over 5 minutes.
The final question was: ‘How do you explain the difference between COMPLETE and FINISHED in a way that is easy to understand? Some people say there is no difference between COMPLETE and FINISHED.’
Here is his astute answer:
———————————–
“When you marry the right woman, you are COMPLETE. When you marry the wrong woman, you are FINISHED. And when the right one catches you with the wrong one, you are COMPLETELY FINISHED!”

Wellington says
Canada, a country since a boy I have visited many times and whose history I have esteemed, as did my father who inculcated in me an appreciation for our neighbor to the north, seems now tragically moving in the the direction of the UK whereby 1) rank submission to Islam (and Islam thrives on submission of all sorts); and 2) overall political correctness and multiculturalism (and please note that only Western nations are in our time stupid enough to embrace political correctness and multiculturalism, done due to two other twin idiocies, i.e., misplaced guilt and inexcusable ignorance) are destroying liberty.
This is a tragedy of the first dimension and these are the culprits: 1) Western Leftism; 2) Islam; and 3) good people with the right ideas but who don’t have the courage to speak up against the loss of liberty—and goodness without courage means very little.

The sponsor of the Bill is a member of the governing PC Party. I still think it is unlikely to pass unless premier Ford is suicidal.

It is appalling, but so is Geller’s false report which undermines this site.

See my reply above, Terry. Whatever Barber’s motives, I doubt that this would ever be used against Muslim hate speech.

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do NOTHING.”
~ Edmund Burke
(In 1770 the Irish statesman and philosopher Edmund Burke wrote about the need for good men to associate to oppose the cabals of bad men. Later, Burke opposed Tom Paine over the results of the French Revolution which made Leftism spin out of control — into what we now see in society… As if pandora’s box was opened by the Devil for the demonic spirits to reign over earth….)

We must rid ourselves of this Liberal Majority government and especially of the imbecile Trudeau. This incompetent PM is obviously pro-Islam and has caused all sorts of negative ripples in the economy with his stupid carbon tax. All this does not mention the corruption as with SNC Lavalin and so on.

Here are some Muslim demonstration signs that show the loving no-hate side of Islam:
SHARIA FOR THE UK
UK POLICE RACIST
ISLAM WILL DOMINATE THE WORLD
MUSLIMS WILL DESTROY THE CRUSADE
AMERICA the ENEMY of ISLAM AND MUSLIMS
USA YOU WILL PAY THE UMMAH OF MUHAMMAD IS ON IT WAY
THE FOLLOWERS OF MUHAMMAD WILL CONQUER AMERICA
FREEDOM OF SPEECH GONE TOO FAR SICK BASTARDS WILL PAY
MAY ALLAH GRANT U HELL & TORTURE FOREVER!!
MUSLIMS WILL CONQUER THE WHITE HOUSE
MAY GOD CURSE THE QUEEN
MISS WORLD IS A WHORE CONTEST
INSULT MY MOM AND I WILL PUNCH YOU (pope francis)
and many more. It’s hillarious to see how many YouTube videos showing Islamic hatred for the West have been removed. There are even some videos where the most offensive anti-unbeliever signs have been blurred to make them comply to the left’s and Islam’s false narratives.

Canada Moves to Ban Christians From Demonstrating in Public Under New “Anti-Hate” Proposal
………………..
Appalling crushing of peaceful freedom of speech in Canada–a place that used to be a bastion of such freedoms. Thank you Pamela Geller for this article.
Terry Gain says

You have been misled. See my comments above.
gravenimage says
I have not been misled, Terry–I know this bill has not yet passed. That it is being proposed at all is something I consider quite horrifying.
Terry Gain says
GI
You state that this is “appalling crushing of peaceful freedom of speech in Canada”.
It is no such thing. It is a private member’ Bill in Ontario which is unlikely to pass. And even if it did, it would be unlikely to survive a Charter challenge.
gravenimage says
Terry, if this passes it would indeed be appalling crushing of freedom of speech in Canada. I don’t think it is a bad thing to point this out.
Giacomo Latta says
I believe this proposed provincial bill to be a sarcastic response to a real bill at the federal level (thus inJust Trudeau’s handiwork) which calls for judicial sentencing against those who criticize Islam with no other religions being so protected.

There are actually a lot of Gay Christians. You can refuse to recognize them, of course.
Steve says
Two problems with the article. One, the amendments say nothing about Christianity. It does not outlaw Christians from free speech. In fact it’s likely directed against the antisemitic pro Palestinian rallies that spew unchecked hatred. Two, the current government is a conservative government who would not make deliberate anti Christian legislation as Christians form a great deal of their power base.
mortimer says
REPLY TO STEVE: Clearly, this legislation is aimed at the AL QUDS DAY HATE FEST held on the Legislature grounds every year. This ISLAMIC HATE FEST is truly a shocking unleashing of ANTI-SEMITISM. They are trying not to specifically mention that ISLAM IS THE TARGET OF THE LEGISLATION.
Stop Kafirophobia says
This was my understanding as well. I recall the conservative premier of Ontario, Doug Ford, being sympathetic to complaints about the Al-Quds demonstrations.

By the definitions that the judges are promoting, MOST of Islam (i.e. over 60% of the primary, Islamic source texts) is HATRED DIRECTED AGAINST KAFIRS who do not worship Allah correctly.
The Koran, hadiths, Sira and Sharia law all say that Muslims should HATE KAFIRS, DEFEAT THEM, ENSLAVE THEM and SHOW HOSTILITY TOWARDS THEM. This doctrine is called AL WALAA WAL BARAA (adherence to Muslims and estrangement from kafirs=Islamic apartheid).
Muslims who do not practice Al Walaa wal Baraa are excluded from Islamic paradise. KAFIRS who do not study and master AL WALAA WAL BARAA do not understand the CORE of Islam. 60% of Islam is the DISAPPROVAL OF KAFIRS and HATRED DIRECTED TOWARDS THEM.
-“The doctrine of al Walaa wal Baraa is the REAL IMAGE for the actual practice of this faith.” – source “Al Walaa wal Baraa According to the Aqeedah of the Salaf”, by Sheikh Muhammad Saeed al Qatani, authoritative Saudi Sharia lawyer and imam at the Abu Bakr and Al Furqan Mosques in Mecca.
Eric Jones says
What is the Christian church in Canada doing about this? Will Christianity be banned from being publicly propagated in Canada? I have noted that pastors will look down at you if you have a beer or play a lottery ticket. Where are the Canadian pastors on this critical issue?
Terry Gain says
Canada didn’t do anything dummy. You and others, including Graven Image, have been misled by Geller’s brain dead and dishonest report. Thus is a private member’s proposed bill in Ontario, which is unlikely to pass. It does warrant “Canada moves”, which is shamefully dishonest propaganda.
…
Obviously, I meant to say doesn’t warrant.
gravenimage says
Terry, I know exactly what this is a proposal, not something that has been implemented.
I disagree, though, with your implication that this story should have not been reported. That *anyone* is trying this is quite disturbing, even if–as I hope!–it is never put into effect.
I would feel the same way if someone in the US were trying to put through this kind of measure.

This should have read, “…I know exactly what this is–a proposal, not something that has been implemented”.

I am surprised to see you defending what is clearly a hysterical and false report. Read the thread and see how many people were misled. It is nearly 100%.
Ms Geller should issue a correction. And an apology.

With all respect, Terry, I don’t believe that Pamela Geller should have to apologize for daring to report on a potential threat to free speech in Canada.
Ms. Geller has stood up for freedom of speech in Canada before:
“Should Pamela Geller be allowed to speak in Toronto?”

UNCLE VLADDI says
Re: “One (concept of islamophobia) is the brutalization of innocent Muslims, which is never justified.” It’s also never even possible, since, by only their own most official rules, no muslim is “innocent” and each and every muslim – including toddlers – must be regarded as an “Object of Fear” by all infidels. “Islamophobia” itself is the most desired end-goal of islam itself. After all, without his armies of devout muslims deliberately inflicting their holy “islamophobia,” on the rest of the world, Big Moe couldn’t have “been made victorious by terror!”
UNCLE VLADDI says
“Hate” is a subjective, emotional term, unrelated to real-life, cause-and-effect situational circumstances.
At best, it means one “opposes” something which gormless legislators haven’t even bothered to define.
So to ban “Hate!” is to ban other people from opposing whatever one currently wants to ban them from.
In the end, it means one mustn’t object to whatever the legislators deem should not be opposed, lest hurt feelings ensue; and hurting criminals’ feelings by daring to accuse them of their “crimes” is the worst sin!
ToBeFrank says
Didn’t anyone else notice but Terry Gain that this title and post is complete misinformation by Ms. Geller. I’m not any fan of PM Trudeau, but he isn’t the one to blame for this. It isn’t Canada. Canada is not moving and neither is Ontario for that matter to ban Christians from hate demonstrations at all. It was only an Ontario PRIVATE member’s bill tabled by Roman Baber. He’s a member of provincial parliament and his proposal won’t likely pass.
CNN’s Jim Acosta would be proud of this Fake News .

Yep. With all due respect, Pamela sometimes gets a little trigger happy with some of her articles in order to go for maximum outrage effect. No need for that really. There’s plenty of actual real dhimmitude to report on.

ontheridge says
As a Canadian Christian lady, married to an American man, living in Canada, I refuse to call a man wearing a dress and make-up, a woman, and in Canada this might end up getting me put into prison. I absolutely WILL NOT DO IT! Nor will I call a woman with a crew cut wearing a hockey jersey and a male swagger, who calls herself Mike, a man. No way!
Nor do I accept that two women or two men can be married. Marriage is between a woman and a man. Defined in the Bible, first by God, not by man. It would be the same as calling a rock a vegetable or a ship a cat. Pure stupidness.
I hate the rainbow colored crosswalks that are everywhere, praising perverted sex. (Can you even believe that in our time and age??!) Satan took God’s promise and made it into something evil for himself.
I also continually speak out against Islam, the evilness of it, and how incompatible it is with our western society, way of life and Christian values.
I have lived in my community for over 41 years and have never seen so many women wearing cloth head scarves and huge, heavy, long, dark, baggy coats covering them from head to toe, as I do now. All I see is a bit of their face. They are everywhere, pushing strollers, a gaggle of children following and they have huge pregnant bellies. (Or they are fat. Hard to tell with the big baggy coat.)
The other women in our community wear sundresses, shorts, sleeveless tops, short skirts, flip flops, and hair flowing down their backs, as they walk by the cloth covered women. What a contrast! One of these groups often has a dog or dogs on a leash, while the other group does not. Guess which?
One group is smiling, laughing, having fun, and the other is somber, never smiling. Guess which.
Our horrid prime minister has brought evil into our country, yes I know we are to pray for our leader, but it has been so incredibly hard to do that with this one. (Watch the videos of him and listen to him speak.) Hope that God will intervene and help to fix this awful situation we have in Canada. I can see in the future that all the Christian churches will be shut down for spewing ‘Hate Speech’ which are God’s words and commandments. Bibles will be banned because it doesn’t accept gays, abortion or a sinful lifestyle.
Are we to just accept and live with this, or demand our freedom? God help us.

How long before Trudeau tacitly winks at violent persecution of the Christian Faith in the People’s Republic of Canada? We may need to build a second wall.
Emil says
There is no hate in preaching the gospel. If they want to put Christianity on trial, they should do so and try to prove that Jesus preached hate. “Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you”. Mat 5:44. The problem is people want to live rebelliously and they are a slave to their sin, they want us to accept there practice of sin. In Christianity we love the sinner but hate the sin. The sin leads to damnation. We want to warn people of this. But to them preaching about sin is hate speech when in fact, people out there need to hear that, they can be saved from their sin and sufferings.. guilty, shame, remorse and regrets. Repent, believe in Jesus, be baptized in water and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. If you don’t believe, try being a truth seeker rather then a happy seeker. You see people don’t want to believe something unpleasant to their ears, to them it can’t be true because it disrupts their ideas of happiness and pleasure. But I say just because something is unpleasant to you doesn’t make it untrue. I pray for those who are against Jesus. I love you and I want you to have peace. Please. If you don’t want to read the new testament then pick up a book called “Evidence that Demands a Verdict” by Josh McDonnell and follow the teachings of David Pawson. Both these men tried to disapprove the teachings of Jesus and have become amazing disciplines. God Bless

Bill 84 2019
An
Act to amend the Legislative Assembly Act respecting demonstrations
that promote hatred on legislative precinct grounds
Her
Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Legislative Assembly of the
Province of Ontario, enacts as follows:
1
The Legislative Assembly Act is amended by adding
the following section:
Prohibited
demonstrations, etc., on legislative precinct grounds
75
(1) No
demonstration, rally or other activity that, in the opinion of the Speaker, is
likely to promote hatred against any identifiable group shall be permitted on legislative
precinct grounds.
Definition
(2) In
this section,
“legislative
precinct grounds” means the area of land in the City of Toronto bounded on the
east, south and west by Queen’s Park Crescent and on the north by Wellesley
Street West.
Commencement
2
This Act comes into force on the day it receives Royal Assent.
Short
title
3
The short title of this Act is the Prohibiting Hate-Promoting
Demonstrations at Queen’s Park Act, 2019.
……….
The text of the proposed Bill is posted above. It doesn’t say anything about banning Christian demonstrations and is limited to The Legislative Grounds known as Queen’s Park, Toronto. For all we know it could be aimed at the Al Quds Day Rally which has taken place there recently and has raised calls for it to be banned.
The irony here could be rich. I will enquire.

Read the proposed Bill set out in my comment posted at 2:51PM on May 24. It says nothing about Christians. The Bill is likely aimed at preventing another Al Quds rally from taking place at Queen’s Park. Geller went off half cocked. It’s a shame as she has been a strong voice against Jihad.

This proposed private member’s Bill is aimed at preventing another Al Quds demonstration at Queen’s Park. Pamela Geller didn’t bother to determine the reason for this proposed Bill and as a result she ironically attacked the counterjihad with a false and hysterical report.
About a half dozen commenters got this right.
Jonathan Bryant says
As a Canadian, I must inform you that you do not know what you are talking about. This story is completely full of crap. This bill is to put a stop to Al-Quds day rallies from taking place on government property. Which is something we should all be appreciative of. You need to do better research before you pout off such drivel. In Canada, our legislation can not single out any one religion or group as that would be discriminatory. The people of Ontario are watching this closely to ensure that it only refers to real hated such as incitement to violence. I highly suggest you Americans mind your own business and let us worry about our own affairs. If you want to spread fake news regarding your own elected officials that is fine be us, just don’t you dare spread it about ours. Doug Ford is a good conservative Premier and has the best interests of the people of Ontario at heart so kindly piss off.

When I left Canada in 1949 I thought I was leaving because of creeping socialism and the unrest between Quebec and the rest of the nation. The handwriting was on the wall. Little did I realize, until now, what I was escaping was the progress of a Muslim dictatorship. Canadians still have the option of escaping to America. However, with Socialism, globalism and Muslim interests on fast track here in America, I wonder how long freedom can hold out.
