Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Canada: Four Green Party candidates accused of “Islamophobic” views, apologize and learn about Islam from NCCM

Oct 20, 2019 11:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Canada’s Green party has said that “it recently learned of Islamophobic social-media posts by four of its Quebec candidates. The candidates will make public statements of apology and commit to learning more about Islam by working with the National Council of Canadian Muslims, the party said.”

Recall Canada’s anti-Islamophobia motion M-103 — which most have forgotten, or would rather forget — 23 million dollars of hard-earned taxpayer money was put toward fighting “Islamophobia.” The term “anti-Muslim bigotry” was rejected because the Muslim architect of this motion was insistent on the word “Islamophobia” at any cost. This made it clear that the motion was intended to cover much more than hateful attacks against innocent Muslims.

In the government followup document “Taking Action Against Systemic Racism and Religious Discrimination Which Includes Islamophobia,” specifications were included as follows:

As part of the “Islamophobia” initiative, Canadian citizens will be monitored for compliance: the Public Service Commission of Canada “offers standardized assessment instruments through its Personnel Psychology Center for use by public service organizations.” These tests are developed with “diverse groups and are monitored and maintained with diversity in mind.”

Among the “diversity” groups that received (or are receiving) funding for helping to execute M-103 is the Hamas-linked National Council of Canadian Muslims (formerly CAIR-CAN) and IRFAN, which was designated as a “terrorist entity” under the Harper government. We all know the proverbial saying: “the fox guarding the henhouse,” so here we have four Green nominees going off to be trained on how not be “Islamophobic” by the NCCM. One of the “offenders” profusely apologized.

Katherine Turgeon, posted a note Tuesday on Facebook suggesting she was simply making a joke in 2013 and did not intend to offend anyone. The comments were “not racist at all on my part …. sorry for those who took it wrong,” wrote Turgeon, who is running in the southern Quebec riding of Shefford.

Despite the plethora of documentation available which identifies and establishes Muslim Brotherhood linked groups and their goals, far too many Western politicians remain willfully blind as they focus on the Muslim vote rather than the well being of their country.

Green Party leader Elizabeth May has stood by her candidates, perhaps because of their apologies. The candidates did in fact criticize Islam, with some so-called “offensive” words thrown in. You can find some blurry screenshots HERE. Since when is Islam above reproach? Since when is criticizing Islamic doctrines which sanction abuse and murder a crime? Under the Sharia, Islam is deemed to be above all other faiths, and such tenets have no place in Western democracies. Islam should be and must be scrutinized like all ideologies. The four Green Party members instead will be taught by the National Council of Canadian Muslims that it is racist to insult Islam. They should refuse to be sent for training with the NCCM and treated like preschool children who did something wrong.

“Four Green nominees in Quebec made Islamophobic comments, party says,” Chat News Today, October 17, 2019:

OTTAWA — The Green party said Tuesday it recently learned of Islamophobic social-media posts by four of its Quebec candidates.

The candidates will make public statements of apology and commit to learning more about Islam by working with the National Council of Canadian Muslims, the party said.

One of the four, Katherine Turgeon, posted a note Tuesday on Facebook suggesting she was simply making a joke in 2013 and did not intend to offend anyone.

The comments were “not racist at all on my part …. sorry for those who took it wrong,” wrote Turgeon, who is running in the southern Quebec riding of Shefford.

The names of the other candidates were not immediately available, and the party would not say when they might make statements.

The election campaign has seen a steady string of revelations about inappropriate comments by candidates from various parties, including the Greens.

The party said it would review its internal policies and procedures to find ways of better standing up against Islamophobia and racism.

The party stressed it is working for a better future in which all Canadians can flourish.

News of the controversial comments came as Green Leader Elizabeth May visited Kamloops, B.C., to call for fundamental change to Canada’s taxation system to make it more fair.

“Reform is long overdue,” May said in a statement. “In this rich country, the growing gap between rich and poor is just plain wrong.”

The Greens advocate an arm’s-length Federal Tax Commission to analyze the system for fairness and accessibility. “Closing tax loopholes that benefit the wealthy will be a priority,” May said……

    When a nation decides to commit mass political suicide it becomes unstoppable because too many Western politicians remain willfully blind to Islam as they focus on the Muslim vote rather than the well being of their country. For God’s sake- Islam is NOT a religion. It is a ruthless political dogma formulated by man for world domination. A heavy price will have to be paid by all including those can see where the West is heading. Here is one example:. https://is.gd/i7r0bp

      Good for you Robert Donator. Islam is not a religion. Not even close. Sing it. shout it. write it. And don’t let the anonymous cowards who say otherwise get you down. They have no understanding of the minimum requirements of a religion in the modern age. The first requirement is not to mandate killing. The second is not to condone killing. The third is to allow the fundamental freedoms which are freedom of speech, freedom of religion and freedom of conscience. In civilized countries people are free to believe or not believe as they please. Hallelujah.

      Robert, Islam is both.

      And Terry, the claim that a religion cannot mandate killing is simply not the case. The worship of Baal called for the sacrifice of children; the religion of the Aztecs called for human sacrifice. You cannot be ignorant of this.

    Perhaps Imams in Canada calling for a caliphate should have to go somewhere, preferably on a plane, a one way plane ride. What are the RCMP doing about the Imams hate speech?

    For Christmas this year I am buying Robert Spencer’s books, and Vlad Tepes crosses to give to family and friends. Buy your local library Robert’s books, We need to come up with a jihad/Islamist statgey—they do not belong in the West. I wear my cross and people admire it and I explain to people what happened in the Crusades, the real truth. Let’s all stand up together, there is strength in numbers.

    So the Green Party is willing to sell out its country in order to gain power.

    NCCM as a source of unbiased information about Islam?

    That is like going to the CAMEL CIGARETTE COMPANY to get an unbiased view about SMOKING.

    NCCM is a front organization of Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood.

    This in plain English is called groveling and begging on your knees.
    They want to rub their human dignity into the mud with a tyrannical boot.

    In times like these, it is best to speak the truth, and speak only the truth.
    Don’t embellish with extra goodies that are not essential to the message and the facts.
    The reason? For example, if I lived in Canada, and it was found out that I spoke against islam in a public place as I was engaging in conversation with those who willingly consented, and I was penalized for this by the government unless I ‘apologized,’ well I would never apologize since you (or I) can’t apologize for the truth and my beliefs. I’m not ‘sorry.’ I don’t ‘regret’ being right. I will never apologize even if it meant persecution such as prison. But on the other hand, if I was caught for a social media post that had added things like cartoons and name calling, such as depicting them as the nazi’s made derogatory illustrations of Jews in newspapers looking like animals and calling them names that don’t tell us anything but are merely insulting like ‘stupid,’ and it gets caught on a facebook post and you get in trouble, well it is not worth it to go to prison for that. That’s all I’m saying, just get the truth out in a dignified way and keep it skinny, not all the add ons.

    As for them ‘learning about islam,’ I have a brrrrrilliant idea!
    Hows about a FIELD TRIP to a real islamic ruled country, to get a ‘hands on’ learning experience about islam in action, not just in theory and on paper (which is bad enough), devoid of all the white washing platitudes about how ‘peaceful’ it ‘really’ is, how ‘tolerant’ of diversity it is, etc.!!!
    😀

      A field trip to a Muslim country? Good idea Lydia!

      Do you want to come to Saudi with me? It could be quite romantic, strolling along hand in hand … oh, hang on, that’s illegal. 🙂

    Newsflash:

    Hobbits apologise for offending Sauron, agree to go to Mordor for retraining and commit to learning more about the benefits of world domination by the Dark Lord.

    Learn about Islam? Simple. Read the Quran or about the Quran.

    Read about the 1,400 year history of Muslims obeying the Quran. 56 nations that are now Islamic. Savagely CONQUERED by the Sword.

    Hundreds of millions of our brothers and sisters – non Muslim innocents, barbarically slaughtered because they didn’t worship Warlord Mohammad’s, cruel, dark death god.

    Muslim Terrorist Lover Trudeau and his Anti Freedom, Jew Hater, Christian Hater, SHARIA government are DETERMINED that Canadians will LIE and DECEIVE for Islam. Or be PUNISHED.

    • Charles Lutz says

      Linda Rivera, the only Canadian party that is warning the voting people about the mortal danger we face from Islam is Maxime Bernier’s People’s Party.
      For the Conservative’s Andrew Sheer, it was singularly repugnant that he hired a web-based firm dedicated to “search and destroy” the PP in order that they were banned from a multi candidate debate.
      So, in my county I was happy to cast my vote for candidate Balfour.

    How about learning about Islam from the Koran and Hadith.
    Sahih Bukhari’s Chapter on Jihad (Volume 4 Book 52)
    Koran Chapter 9 (At-Taubah)
    These show exactly how “peaceful” islam is.
