Among the problems here is that “Islamophobia” is undefined. Since it is used to refer both to heinous crimes such as the recent murder of a Muslim family in London, Ontario, as well as to honest analysis of the motivating ideology of jihad violence, it is likely that such analysis will now be further inhibited, if not criminalized outright, in Canada. At least some of this money will go to programs that teach that the Qur’an and Sunnah, properly understood, teach peace and tolerance. It will then be harder to stop Muslims who don’t believe that, because even to acknowledge that such people exist will be “Islamophobic.”
“Ontario gives $300,000 to Muslim organizations to help combat Islamophobia in schools,” Canadian Press, June 29, 2021:
Ontario announced funding on Tuesday for educational programs to help fight Islamophobia, which police believe was the motive behind a vehicle attack that killed four members of a Muslim family.
Education Minister Stephen Lecce said $225,000 will go to the Muslim Association of Canada to create digital resources for educators, students and parents to raise awareness about Islamophobia.
He said $75,000 will go to the National Council of Canadian Muslims to help Muslim newcomers navigate their new country and to help those new students prepare for school in the fall.
“There is a lot of work that needs to be done to secure a future in this province where young Muslims don’t feel like they have to hide parts of their Muslim identity to feel accepted, included and safe,” said Aasiyah Khan, the manager of education programs at the National Council of Canadian Muslims.
The announcement comes after four members of a Muslim family were struck and killed by a vehicle in London, Ont., in what police have called an attack motivated by hate….
The London attack prompted a national discussion on the racism Muslims face in Canada and calls for action to combat Islamophobia. Muslims young and old have spoken out about their fear to walk outside or wear traditional clothing.
A 20-year-old man faces four first-degree murder charges and one count of attempted murder in what prosecutors allege was an act of terrorism.
“This attack is a lingering reminder that Ontario has work to do in the fight against all forms of racism,” Mr. Lecce said….
Ms. Khan said the funding will go toward a project this summer where the National Council of Canadian Muslims will talk to newcomers to better understand how they are dealing with the pandemic as well as helping support families as their children return to school in September….
The Muslim Association of Canada said the digital resources it creates will provide students and educators with information about Islamic practices, values and misconceptions in an effort to get at the root causes of Islamophobia….
Beneath the Veil of Consciousness says
Money to muzzle the public. Any efforts to legitimize this horrible ideology should be considered a crime. Money would be better spent educating Muslims and infidels about the bloody history of Islam.
PRCS says
“an effort to get at the root causes”
Well, hey, our VP–the Cackling Queen–knows a bit about Canada.
Send her back–so she can “get at the root causes”.
Emilie Green says
In the picture the guy is holding a sign, “United We Stand, Divided We Fall,” without having the slightest realization that Islam is the force for division into every society into which it’s introduced.
PRCS says
Betcha he knows that and assumes/hopes that “unbelievers” don’t.
PRCS says
“Islamic practices”
Make a list—-straight from Qur’an:
Start here:
Qur’an 5:33—amputate a fellow human being’s hand and foot on opposite sides
Qur’an: 4:3—-polygamy
Qur’an 24:31-a Muslim woman’s slaves and eunuchs are permitted to view her without “the veil”
And ask young Ahmed and little Fatima to explain these things to their filthy, kuffar Canadian classmates.

Don’t forget raping little children and keeping Infidels as sex slaves…
PRCS says
Not an endless list, of course, but extensive.

Yep.
GreekEmpress says
No tax money to fight Christophobia after the jihad attack in Ontario’s Greektown a while back.
Oh wait—I forgot—that was mental illness.
gravenimage says
GreekEmpress, I hadn’t realized that the Danforth Jihad shootings happened in Greektown. Thanks for that information.
And you are right–no money to combat Jihad terror.

When a person has a “phobia,” they are not committing a crime. When a person has a “phobia,” they need specialized help in order to overcome it…which is not always possible. When a person has a “phobia,” it is not something that can be instantly jettisoned at the behest of another…even if the one demanding it is of the government.
This entire “phobia” thing that mozlums thought up, is a bunch of hogwash. mozlums know it. mozlums are using the word as a weapon to get what they want…which is control of speech, and even control of thoughts, in order to silence the warnings about islam and its evil-to-the-core practices and demands. Once mozlums control speech, they control….everything. Because then, no one can give warning, advice, counsel, or condemnation for any action.
Rampant theft, extortion, rape and murder are their weapons of violence. The whining about the fake “phobia,” is their weapon of choice because then, they don’t have to keel over dead to get what they want.
Evidently, from the past few articles about mozlums in Canada, it will come to be known as Canadastan. Or perhaps, jt and Lecce will help them select a brand new name that really fits what these guys are helping mozlums orchestrate.
Teach the little kids not to talk about something and then the little kids will rat out their parents.

……………
This will mostly be used to whitewash Islam, and–even worse–shut up any questioning of that vicious creed.

Yes–that too, SAFI.

Education Minister Stephen Lecce needs to get “educated” and read all the feature articles/comments on Jihad Watch for the next six months…
David says
How about this as a root cause of ‘islamophobia’? Nearly 40,000 Islamic terror attacks since 9/11. These are designed to instil fear, and they have fulfilled their purpose.
Turdeau clearly suffers from islamophilia.

“Jizya keep on paying us, kafirs!”
Giacomo Latta says
”This attack is a lingering reminder that Ontario has work to do in the fight against all forms of racism”
This from a not-so-conservative Conservative who displays his total ignorance of Islam by calling it a race. Earlier hints were the display of the greatest shutdown due to the pandemic by forbidding golf until just recently and by arresting families inline skating on empty park trails.
It is the beginning of a pattern to copy left-wing politicians by pandering to all groups, a bowing to ”inclusivity.”

Jim says
The problem with the idea of fighting Islamoophobia is that it is just a way of giving jihadis a pass. People can support jihadis but feel no blame for their deeds, since anything people say against them is bigotry, and somehow one is caught in a trap. One has to refrain from fighting Islamism to avoid being a bigot, but one really would like to fight Islamic terror However, there is no islamic terror, only Islamophobia. It is all such a terrible dilemma.
somehistory says
Their aim is to make us feel as though it is a “dilemma.” We must persist in telling the Truth and if a claim of us being a “phobic” follows our telling the Truth, then so be it.
Crusades Were Right says
Combat Christophobia…
…by not allowing Mohammedan supremacists to colonize your country…
…and by not paying jizya to the ones you’ve already let in.
