The term “Islamophobia” is an illegitimate conflation of two distinct phenomena: crimes against innocent Muslims, as in the case of Nathaniel Veltman, which are never justified, and honest analysis of the motivating ideology of jihad terror, which is always necessary. Islamic advocacy groups and their leftist allies have been insisting for years that such analysis, too, constituted “Islamophobia.” The talk in the article below is all about violence against innocent Muslims, which is never justified, but the NCCM’s recommendations to fight supposedly rampant “Islamophobia” in Canada are likely directed ultimately toward stifling all criticism of Islam and exploration of the motivating ideology behind jihad terrorism. The clearest evidence for this is the fact that the NCCM has ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. Muslim Brotherhood organizations in North America are dedicated, according to a captured internal document, to “eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within, and sabotaging its miserable house.”
“Canadian Muslim group issues 61 recommendations ahead of national Islamophobia summit,” by Sidhartha Banerjee, Canadian Press, July 19, 2021:
A national strategy to fight anti-Muslim hate across society is one of 61 recommendations released Monday by the National Council of Canadian Muslims ahead of a summit on Islamophobia to be held later this week….
Mustafa Farooq, chief executive officer of the NCCM, told reporters in southwestern Ontario the recommendations target every level of government and were compiled following consultations with members of the Muslim community across the country.
“We need to see action and we need to see it now,” Farooq said. “Governments attending the summit must know that we want more than their attendance, we want to see their commitment to timelines.”
More than half of the recommendations are directed toward the federal government and include the creation of a strategy to fight Islamophobia within the civil service and the wider Canadian society. The group suggested Ottawa create a special envoy to deal with Islamophobia and to investigate alleged profiling within the Canada Revenue Agency and national security agencies, Farooq said.
Other recommendations consist of amending the Criminal Code to include specific penalties and dedicated prosecutors for hate crimes involving assault, threats, mischief and murder. The group also wants the government to no longer require the attorney general’s consent before hate-based and genocide cases are prosecuted.
For provinces, the recommendations include teaching about Islamophobia in schools, an accountability system for police hate-crimes units and the prohibition of white supremacist rallies.
In Quebec City, the announcement took place outside the Islamic Cultural Centre, the site of a deadly shooting in January 2017 that left six men dead and others seriously injured. “The reality is Canada has suffered more mass killings in the past five years than any other country in the G7,” Farooq said. “This cannot be allowed to continue.”…
Of the 61 recommendations, Al-Azem highlighted one calling on the attorney general to intervene in all challenges to Quebec’s secularism law, known as Bill 21. The law, adopted in June 2019, prohibits public sector workers who are deemed to be in positions of authority, including teachers, police officers and judges, from wearing religious symbols at work. It makes pre-emptive use of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms’ notwithstanding clause, which shields legislation from court challenges over violations of fundamental rights….

The real aim is not to fight prejudice and illegal acts against any religion. The goal is to advance the Islamization of Canada. It would be better if Harper were still prime minister. To give in to such demands is like giving in to the Democrats to their pro-Democrat legislative attempt to take control of our government and society. There should be no such protection of Islam against the rights of the constitution and of other religions like Judaism and Christianity. They think they can wear civil rights like a sheepskin to disguise their stealth jihad, but aware citizens should keep a look-out against them. And defend the laws and customs of democratic society agaiinst the medieval totalitarianism of Sharia and Islamism.

Gotta start somewhere
Who knows maybe next they’ll call for banning non Muslims
Infidel says
That’ll happen once they’re 30% of the population
Lion heart says
Infidel : you know what’s bitter ironic here is that midline complain against hate crime against Muslims while Islam is all about hate towards nonMuslims especially towards Christians & Jews
Infidel says

Precisely! But most of the public are blinded to that fact b’cos of the concept that islam is a religion, and therefore just like Christianity or Buddhism

Canada: Muslim organization unveils 61 recommendations for government to fight ‘Islamophobia’
……………..
60 might be reasonable–but 61? sarc/off
Canada’s response to this insanity is likely to ask how high the National Council of Canadian Muslims wants them to jump.

“Their blind quest for uniformity will never eradicate conflict. Globalism will only replace wars between nations with wars within former nations. It takes battles that formerly took place on borders and spreads them from street to street. rather than global harmony, endless and irrevocable conflict is globalism’s true game.”
“Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s cooperation with Islamist groups in Canada is an integral part of his globalist belief system.
Prime Minister Trudeau has used the weight of government offices to silence press criticism of his support for Islamist causes.
In both word and deed, Prime Minister Trudeau has gone out of his way to support Islamist groups and their ideology in Canada.
Prime Minister Trudeau’s cooperation with Islamist groups and individuals in Canada is an integral part of a larger belief system. This is not to say he is an Islamist, but rather to say he sees defending Islamists and cooperating with them as useful as he reshapes Canadian political, cultural and value systems in his own image.
According to Prime Minister Trudeau, Canada has “no core identity” and there is “no mainstream in Canada”.
His views, like those of his friend George Soros, include the belief that only the so-called globalist “elites” can be trusted to shape the future of the world and the “population” cannot be trusted with such things as referendums or a direct role in governance.
Prime Minister Trudeau believes that a variety of current values must be devalued. Among these are national sovereignty, national identity, and freedom of speech. His same set of globalist beliefs also supports funding and supporting massive migration programs as a means of watering down national identity and value systems.”
Trudeau’s Statement on Twitter about Soros made that clear: Thanks to @georgesoros for sharing your insights on the global economic outlook and climate change. #Davos2016#WEF
