Does Jagmeet Singh have a plan to combat Islamic jihad terrorism? Of course not. That would be “Islamophobic.”
Is Jagmeet Singh aware that Islam is not a race, and that people of all races are Muslims, and Islamic jihadis? Apparently not.
Is Jagmeet Singh aware of the history of his own Sikh religion vis-a-vis Islam and Muslims? Almost certainly not.
“NDP leader Jagmeet Singh has a plan to combat racism and Islamophobia,” by Rachel Browne, Global News, September 4, 2019:
NDP leader Jagmeet Singh discussed his party’s plans to address racism and discrimination during a town hall in Toronto on Wednesday night.
Those plans include beefing up police resources to investigate hate crimes and imposing a federal ban on carding.
He also called on the federal government to take a stronger stand against what he described as the “hateful, divisive, Islamophobic” rhetoric of U.S. President Donald Trump.
“One [of our commitments] is to be very clear around calling out and denouncing Islamophobia. That has already been done, and people do it regularly, so we need to go beyond that,” Singh told those in attendance at the event, the first in a series of election-related town halls hosted by the National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM), which advocates for Muslim communities across the country.
Singh’s appearance came amid low fundraising rates for his party, a mass exodus of candidates from the New Brunswick NDP for the Greens, and a dip in recent polling.
The NDP’s 2019 platform, unveiled in June, includes a section on “confronting racism” that includes the proposal for banning carding. The platform also includes increasing the number of hate crime units….

Sonu Singh says
Totally agree…these so-called leftists should be investigated and called out for their bull-shit rhetoric, which is devoid of any rational arguments…they’re most definitely bankrolled by Islamic special interest groups…!!!

Very good and pertinent questions posed by Robert Spencer, in the article above, about Jagmeet Singh.

The Sikhs are trying to create an independent state called KHALISTAN and they are trying to form and unholy alliance with the Muslims.
Hindu American says
Not all Sikhs. Some (perhaps a little more than a handful) that live in Canada, US and UK who are funded by pakistan. Irony is that if khalistan is ever formed, its proposed capital, Lahore, is in pakistan. Even a bigger irony is that most overseas supporters of khalistan are less than likely to move there.
gravenimage says
True, Hindu American.
Flavius Claudius Iulianus says
I’ve always been confused by the Sikhs’ relationship with Islam. I had been told that the origin of the Sikh religion was, in part, a reaction to the abuse that Muslims meted out on to the Hindus and other religious minorities when Islam ruled India. And yet, so many of them now carry water for Islam. What’s with that?
Infidel says
It’s the woke version of the religion. Just like Pope Francis’ version of the Catholic church has little in common w/ that church’s heritage, similarly the woke version of Sikhism that these Khalistani supporters promote has nothing in common w/ the Sikhism of the Gurus or the Khalsa Panth
Cicero. says
Twit BS etc are very apt descriptions of this sort of behaviour.
E T says
Oh Canada! All the members of the NDP voted for M-103. Someone should tell this yo-yo that the Jewish people are the most target group of people in Canada. He is a dangerous twit.
t. says
Jagmeet should rather be concerned about Sikhophobia than Islamophobia, which is non existent.
Krishna says
Foreign Sikhs have different mentality than Indians sikhs as foreign Sikhs stick with failed khalistan movement and leftist political views
Cicero says
O’ Krishna!
I am so relieved to hear that Sikhs in India have a different more discerning mentality
Sikhs in the U.K. are encouraged by the state to assert their very difference to other people of Indian Dharmic heritage.
Recently whilst on a train journey I sat opposite a young Sikh girl and we got into a conversation. She was wearing a light blue turban and I respectfully enquiries as to its significance. Ad she explicated it soon became apparent that she saw people from other Dharmic traditions as alien to het religious and ethnic identity. She reserved and expressed a special contempt for Hindus and India.
As I reminded her that the founder of Sikhism Guru Nanak was a Hindu, that as he saw the ferocity of Islamic rule in the Punjab he went to each Hindu family to ask for one of their children to become a warrior under his tutelage in order to protect Dharma and India’s Dharmic peoples from the savage merciless death dealing cult which ruled over the Punjab the young woman wriggled in her Seat. She then commented on the savagery of the Indian State against her Sikh community inIndia. She
heralded the coming of Khalistan in the Punjab. She was a British born Sikh girl. How
Effective are the sick narratives peddled to gullible children of the Sikh Diaspora which are quietly and covertly supported by the U.K. powers that be.

“Is Jagmeet Singh aware that Islam is not a race, and that people of all races are Muslims, and Islamic jihadis?”
Of course he is, but it would only erode the victimhood narrative to admit it.
Wellington says
A Sikh defending Islam is as foolish as a Christian, Jew, Hindu, Buddhist, agnostic, atheist—yeah, a long list here—defending Islam.
Islam deserves no defense. Yes, it should be permitted to exist in the same way Neo-Nazis or the KKK should be permitted to exist but it should also, as with Neo-Nazism and the KKK, be properly characterized and regularly excoriated, ridiculed, marginalized, ostracized and despised.
Not there yet. God knows, mankind should be by this time but mankind is not because often mankind functions in stupid mode. Defending Islam serves as a good example of such stupidity.

Since Jesus turned water into wine, and He drank wine, there is nothing wrong with drinking . Getting drunk is where the wrong comes in due to other behaviors that are likely and the detriment to health, etc..
I believe it is up to each Christian where, when and if, one drinks alcohol. .

Well we agree on that SH
Lydia Church says
It’s one of those inversely proportional relationships.
When you fight terrorism, terrorism goes down.
When you don’t fight it, it goes up.
When you fight ‘islamophobia,’ terrorism goes up.
When you don’t fight it, it goes down.
Yet when you fight terrorism, they call you ‘islamophobic.’
So according to them, all counter terrorism is ‘islamophobic.’
Thus they are against countering terrorism and that can only
mean they are in favor of terrorism.
I guess in their minds that’s better than to be labeled
‘islamophobic,’ even if it’s suicidal.
But crazzzy it is, for sure!

The NDP’s platform is all about “New blah blah blah”. New this, new that. On their website they have conveniently divided their platform among several areas they believe are of concern to Canadians. One of these is the
“The courage to do what’s right:
New Democrats are committed to a future where racism, discrimination, homophobia, and transphobia have no place, where we fight for reproductive justice and an end to gender-based violence, and where government treats people with the respect and dignity we all deserve.
The general tone of the website is “preachy” as in, we are morally superior and are kindly requesting your help to save Canada from the evil and clueless. I scanned over most of the word salad and went straight to the sub section of “The courage to do what’s right”, “Confronting Racism”. This is where they raise all the red flags about white supremacism, without explicitly naming it, and completely avoid mentioning Islamic racism which been around almost 1.5 thousand years, since the time that Muhammad started really hating Jews and Christians and pretending Allah started it.
Wellington says
Seconded.

If he is more concerned with his muslim “brothers” than his Sikh ones ,perhaps he should convert to islam,give up being a sikh and go live in a mosque with his muslim “brothers”{who don’t of course see Sikhs as brothers but as infidels}

“Go beyond”? As in, having alleged “islamophobes” face Canadian justice?
Good luck with your doubling down on identity politics – it’s doing wonders for the Democrats in America…

It’s truly gross that he would make such a comment to Canadians. Maybe someone’s promised he’ll reach the top of his mental gymnastics class if he’s a very good boy indeed.
mortimer says
All it takes is to set them going is the mere ACCUSATION of RACISM!!! No evidence or trial or proof is required. STRING ‘EM UP! Those white Canadians are keeping the Muslims down … we’ll show them.
Blah, blah, blah … so the majority of Canadians are white and they are ALL RACIST and must be PUT IN THEIR PLACE by the newly arrived people from the Third World … blah, blah, blah. Vote for us, blah, blah.
It isn’t reverse RACISM when the NDP does it. It isn’t SLANDER when they do it.

Sikhs are members of different political parties. What does this fellow really think? Does anyone know? Is he actually a socialist? We know that if you disagree with him, he calls you a racist right away. Why does disagreeing with socialism make a person a racist?
Are socialists also ‘a race’?

BWAHAHA! You just can’t make this stuff up! Typical criminal hypocrite “PROJECTION:” First, they elect the Sikh because they want to use the “Brown Person Of Colour” as a token to virtue-signal how non-racist they are. Then they leave their own party in droves because they have no confidence in his leadership abilities. Classic.

LARRIE COLE says
ON SOCIALISM:
. …any of various economic and political theories advocating collective or governmental ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods.
The idea under socialism is that everyone pays taxes and the government, in an equitable way, provides its citizens with the things that they need. While it appeals to many people, socialism is wrong.
As famed French economist Frederic Bastiat put it:
The [socialist] state is the great fictitious entity by which everyone seeks to live at the expense of everyone else.
Simply put, socialism takes away the liberty to decide how you wish to spend your money; it presupposes you are not smart enough to decide what you need. Your income was yours to spend as you wish. Now it is the government’s, and it will provide for you what it thinks you need.
2. Socialism is inefficient because it makes economic calculation impossible.
This fact is really common sense (thanks to economist Ludwig von Mises). With a central government owning all (or any) means of production and distribution there can be no competition, profits, losses, market prices—or market, for that matter
3. Socialism is bad because it is immoral.
It is impossible to introduce into society a greater change and a greater evil than this: the conversion of the law into an instrument of plunder. … But how is this legal plunder to be identified? Quite simply. See if the law takes from some persons what belongs to them, and gives it to other persons to whom it does not belong. See if the law benefits one citizen at the expense of another by doing what the citizen himself cannot do without committing a crime.
Can a moral case be made for taking the rightful property of one Canadian and giving it to another to whom it does not belong? I think not. That’s why socialism is evil. It uses evil means (coercion) to achieve what are seen as good ends (helping people). We might also note that an act that is inherently evil does not become moral simply because there’s a majority consensus.

No matter what one believes about the nature of Islam, there exists a large number of people around the world that subscribe to the notion that all non-Islamic believers are infidels and, as such, are subject to death. Thus, by killing the infidel, one pleases Allah and will inherit paradise. This is the reality that those in the western world refuse to recognize. Mal-treatment of woman, envisioned as being prescribed by Islamic teaching, is also not recognized in the west.
Allan Bailur says
Don’t let his appearance mislead you. The creature under a Iambskin coat need not be a sheep. I spent some time among Sikhs, whom I consider great people to be with. Their ideal of seva is something other societies can and should try to practise. I hold all their Gurus and their teachings in very high regard, and miss no opportunity to listen to their kirtans.
Let us not forget the warning Micah uttered all those centuries ago: … a man’s enemies are the men of his own house. A.B.

Jagmeet Singh is exactly the type of leader the NDP deserve. A politician who will promise anything to anyone to get their vote, even ignoring the Islamic tyrannical abuses that have been perpetrated on Sikhs, especially on their female children, in the past just to get Muslim votes.
Desperation and left wing socialist ideas are what is driving Singh to such a low point. One can only hope that the decent people of the Sikh community see him for what he is and deal with him appropriately by making him a complete pariah in their community.
