A Canadian court recently ruled against allowing a convicted jihadist to attend university, but it’s only because of the danger “Islamophobes” pose to him. My latest in Human Events:
The top court in Canada’s most populous province, the Ontario Review Board, attempted to strike a strong blow against “Islamophobia” on Monday when it granted permission to a young Muslim named Ayanle Hassan Ali to attend Mohawk College in Hamilton, Ontario.
Only venomous Islamophobes would have wanted to deny an enterprising young Muslim the college place. After all, all Ayanle Hassan Ali did was stab three Canadian soldiers and explain that Allah told him to do it. How could anyone deny this fine young man a spot at Mohawk College?
The effort to have him attend Mohawk “have now been scuttled, Chaimowitz told the board, because the ‘unflattering’ media coverage led them to worry that Ali himself might be in danger from another student.”
In this case, “Islamophobia” won out, at least for now.
The Toronto Sun reported Wednesday that “following negative media publicity and a blowback from some staff, students and their parents, the mentally-ill man who attacked soldiers at a Toronto military recruiting office won’t be bound for Mohawk College after all.”
The courts had originally decided that pending good behavior in hospital, Ali may have been able to attend college unaccompanied.
His psychiatrist, Dr. Gary Chaimowitz, said the 31-year-old won’t be attending Mohawk College not because of the danger he poses to students and staff, but because they pose a danger to him.
The effort to have him attend Mohawk “have now been scuttled, Chaimowitz told the board, because the ‘unflattering’ media coverage led them to worry that Ali himself might be in danger from another student.”
Of course, his safety is paramount. To be concerned about the safety of the Mohawk College students or others who might encounter this jihadi would be “Islamophobic.”
Despite pro forma protestations to the contrary, no one seems to be concerned about the danger Ali himself might pose.
ISIS and Canada
The Canadian Press reported Ali had been found “not criminally responsible” for his knife attack. But at the time of his attack, Ali himself said: “Allah told me to do this, Allah told me to come here and kill people.”
And he hasn’t changed.
Chaimowitz admitted of Ali: “[H]is psychotic disorder is not completely treated. I still have work in the future.”
Crown attorney Craig Fraser said: “He still feels it is his obligation to do something about it”. That “it” is the supposed Canadian oppression of Muslims.
Nonetheless, Chaimowitz, said the Sun, “recommended the board clear him to have unaccompanied passes into southern Ontario and travel within a 50-kilometre radius of Hamilton for education or employment. They also agreed with a request by his lawyer Maureen Addie that he be eligible for 48-hour overnight passes to Toronto under the supervision of his father or sister.”
Even after all this, Chaimowitz had the audacity to declare: “We take risk to the community as our priority.”
Given Ali’s views have not changed, why is any of this being contemplated?
The media last year noted how the Ontario Review Board is endangering the public:
“…the board also found Ali, who suffers from schizophrenia, ‘still poses a significant threat to the safety of the public’ and ‘holds some of the same delusions, that he experienced at the time of the (attack).’ He also ‘continues to express concerns about the Canadian government and its interactions with Muslim countries.’”
Many jihadis have said that their attack was retaliation for atrocities of Western governments in Muslim countries, yet Canadian authorities are working to let this would-be murderer loose.
What could possibly go wrong? Where have the victims of Ayanle Hassan Ali’s jihad attack been shown any solicitude similar to that which is being shown for Ali himself?

This isn’t a news story. It’s a Monty Python skit.

Is Monty Python’s Michael Palin an Islamophobe
for Admitting He’s Scared to Make Fun of Islam?
=====================================
Trey Parker and Matt Stone received death threats after announcing that Muhammad would be appearing on an episode of *South Park*, so the network scrubbed the episode of anything remotely offensive in order to avoid becoming a target.
The writers for that week’s episode of *The Simpsons* sympathized with Stone and Parker, acknowledging that criticizing Islam is simply too dangerous:
Likewise, Penn Jillette (of the comedy duo “Penn and Teller”) said that he and Teller won’t mock Islam because they “have families.”
Now the great Michael Palin is admitting that he’s afraid to make fun of Islam.
How long can Western civilization continue to claim, on the one hand, that Islam is no different from other religions, and, on the other hand, that Islam is clearly far more dangerous than other religions?
Michael Palin —During his *Monty Python* days he poked fun at everyone from the Establishment to Christianity.
But thanks to the threat of ‘heavily armed’ fanatics, Michael Palin has admitted there is one comedy taboo he is too scared to break – Islam.
The 70-year-old said religious sensitivities have increased so much since his comedy days it would now be impossible to make 1979 film *Life of Brian* – which satirised the life of Jesus – let alone laugh at Muslims.
He said: ‘Religion is more difficult to talk about. I don’t think we could do *Life of Brian* any more. A parody of Islam would be even harder.
‘We all saw what happened to Salman Rushdie and none of us want to get into all that. It’s a pity but that’s the way it is. There are people out there without a sense of humour and they’re heavily armed.’
In 1989, Mr Rushdie was forced into hiding after the Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, issued a fatwa calling for him to be killed in revenge for his novel *The Satanic Verses*.
Of course, comedians and comedy writers aren’t the only ones who have admitted their fear of Islam. During a Question and Answer session, textual critic Bart Ehrman said that the reason he doesn’t write about the Qur’an the way he writes about the Bible is that he values is life….
Will Muslim organizations like CAIR and ISNA condemn Palin, Ehrman, and others as “Islamophobes” and “bigots” for saying that it’s too dangerous to criticize Islam? Or is the silencing of critics precisely the goal of these organizations?
For more on this topic, be sure to watch “Don’t Make Fun of Muhammad.” (BELOW)

Why would we make fun of Muslims?
RichardL says
I think that the jihadi is sane and Dr Chaimowitz isn’t.
Westman says
Chaimowitz admitted of Ali: “[H]is psychotic disorder is not completely treated. I still have work in the future.”
How did we ever give behavioral “sciences” this kind of power? Psychotic disorders are never “cured”, they are merely medicated into the background. What other service workers still get paid when they fail? Maybe this is a true definition of “professional” work!
When Ali neglects to take his drugs, “Allah” will start talking inside Ali’s brain and order some mayhem. Drug and repeat – just ignore those victims for the “better good”.
Kimberley Papuc says
I’m pretty sure he’s not going to college now, his doctor was worried that “he” would be in danger. Cant remember where I read this, I’m in Canada so have been following this.

Antiislamicman says
So I guess jihad poses no danger at all. Its laughable
Paul says
If he wants a college degree tell him to do it by mail (so 20th century) or online (access to the web…)
If “they” want no normalise him by inflicting a dangerous madman on college students “they” should be advised its not fair on the kids. Only one childhood etc

I’ll bet that right now some liberal is arguing that sending the young Muslim to college will instill western ideals in him and turn him way from fanaticism — just as it did Osama bin Laden.
James says
I guess that the Muslims have to be coddled because they are victims. But what about people who disagree with Islam. They are supposed to be threatened, coerced, taxed expelled. What can one say about them. They are not worth mentioning.
UNCLE VLADDI says
i.e: His “Right” to not have his PWECIOUS FEEWINGS HURT trumps your right to not be killed by him!
“For having one’s feewings oppressed, is worse than death!”
(Muhammad, somewhere in his stupid unholy Qur’ap)!
Canadian “judges” have absolutely no understanding of even the first thing about the real Law.
They automatically Submit to sharia because islam and liberalism are exactly the same thing/s!

“Unflattering” media coverage?! This shrink is certifiable insane.

fyi
The Intl Inst of Islamic thought, abdur rahman mhammad, created the term islamaphobe. Their intent created by this muslim think tank is for THE PURPOSE OF BEATING DOWN CRITICS. . . islamophobic was a term designed as a weapon to advance a totalitarian cause by stigmatizing critics and silencing them. This plan was an ougrowth of the Muslim Broherhood deceptive “General Strategic Goal for North America.”
Americans need to educate themselves on the blatant, forceful islamic trash being spread around, especially with the jerk muslims in congress. If they don’t get voted out, it will be a shame. they will stop at nothing. THEY ARE LIARS, SCHEMING SOBS, always trying to act like they are victims when it is just the opposite.
No more multiculture bs either; just another tactic of intimidation.
