Is any of this going to stop some maniac from killing people if he is so inclined? No.
People are murdered all the time. It’s always terrible. Usually, however, the victims don’t get a monument and a day of remembrance. The London, Ontario government is hoping that by doing all this, they will prevent people from disliking Islam and thus being cruel to innocent Muslims. Unfortunately, the world doesn’t work that way. People will be cruel no matter what. And some people will always be suspicious of Islam, although that suspicion never justifies any violence against anyone. People will be suspicious of Islam because of jihad terror attacks and their justification in Islamic texts and teachings. Is any of this in London, Ontario going to prevent jihad terror attacks that will make some people suspicious of Islam in the future? No.
“Here’s how London, Ont., hopes to fight Islamophobia months after killing of Afzaal family,” by Kate Dubinski, CBC News, February 2, 2022:
Eight months after the attack on the Afzaal family and London, Ont., began a reckoning with Islamophobia, a newly released city report recommends a permanent memorial at the site of the killings, more education about the contributions of Muslims, and establishing an advisory council to keep politicians accountable.
“The Muslim community remains hurt and frightened. They are angry, they are frustrated and they are desperate for all levels of government to stand by the commitments that were made following the terror attack,” said Rumina Morris, director of London’s anti-oppression and anti-racism division, and author of “A London For All: An Action Plan to Disrupt Islamophobia.”
“This [the attack] is not something that people have moved on from, in spite of the fact that it hasn’t received as much attention in the last few months.”
London’s Muslim community is diverse, but people want to see more action to help prevent future hate-filled incidents, Morris said.
It’s been 6 months since members of the Afzaal family in London, Ont., were killed. What’s changed?
The report was commissioned after the June 6, 2021, attack.Salman Afzaal, 46, his wife Madiha Salman, 44, their daughter Yumna Afzaal, 15, and Salman Afzaal’s mother, Talat Afzaal, 74, died after being hit by a truck in what police say was an Islamophobic attack. A nine-year-old boy survived.
The event sparked a national conversation about Islamophobia and calls for all levels of government, as well as community groups, to act.
A man who was 20 at the time of the attack faces first-degree murder charges, one attempted murder charge and associated terrorism charges. He’s made numerous appearances by video link from Elgin Middlesex Detention Centre and the case is still making its way though the court process
Among the report’s recommendations:
A permanent memorial, costing $150,000, at Hyde Park and South Carriage roads where the attack happened, including a plaque, a garden, a youth-led art project and the crosswalks at the intersection painted green and purple — the colours that came to symbolize the attack.
Proclaiming October Islamic Heritage Month, June 6 as a Day of Remembrance of Our London Family, and Jan. 29 as the National Day of Remembrance of the Quebec City Mosque Attack and Action.
Developing training for Muslim youth, and making community centres and public spaces more inclusive and welcoming for Muslims, especially women.
An anti-Islamophobia advisory council to provide oversight of implementation of the plan and hiring a Muslim community liaison adviser.
More education about the contributions of Muslims, including bringing a U.K. exhibit to London.
Create an online reporting tool for hate-related harassment incidents, and beef up the existing public nuisance bylaw so anyone saying yelling hateful things to Muslims, newcomers or immigrants could be charged.
The recommendations were made after consultations with numerous Muslim groups and individuals, Morris said….

Muslim terrorists are killing an average of 50 non-Muslims EVERY SINGLE DAY.
Where is the monument to the 270 million victims of jihad?

You’ve hit the nail on the head. “Rumina Morris, director of London’s anti-oppression and anti-racism division,” needs to be told this. I would do it, but the punk libturd prime minister of Canada has made it illegal to speak out against islam. If you do write to Morris, make sure to provide the link of moslem attacks within the last 30 days, and clarify that the list is updated daily. She also needs to be told that islam isn’t a race, and that her concern for hatred is misplaced. Then cite the quran verses to prove it.
As for putting up a permanent monument, I think that’s an excellent idea. Maybe when there are monuments all over London, Ontario, Rumina Morris and the libturds who support her will re-think their naïveté. In the meantime, we all know that the moslems will hate that reminder to non-moslems, and *that’s* really good.

And where’s our monument?

The whole affair of the jihadist on Danforth was silenced by the Liberal Party apparatus, because it did not fit their narrative. It is ironic that the young woman murdered in cold blood was white and a member of the Young Liberal Association. She was selected for murder after the shooter excused a dark-skinned woman from being his target. The shooter was shot be police. Detective found the shooter had jihadic literature at home and magazines of ammo without the weapons that went with them. Presumably, the shooter’s brother or friend removed the weapons before the police found them.

The ‘Islamophobia’ smear is a ‘Definist Fallacy’ used to take a cheap shot at the opponent. In this fallacy, a propagandist defines the terms in the argument to create prejudice, thus giving himself an unfair advantage even before the opponent’s argument has been presented. This technique was perfected in the communist USSR by the KGB. The ‘Islamophobia’ slander is an example of this Marxist technique.
-Definist Fallacy (defined in Oxford Dict)- The illicit insistence on defining a term in a way that is favourable to one’s own side of an argument. Thus a libertarian may insist on defining taxation as theft by the state, or a pro-life supporter may insist on defining a foetus as an unborn person. The term may also be used for the allegedly Socratic fallacy of supposing that unless a term can be defined it means nothing (see Socratic paradox).

London, Ontario declares Jihad on Islamophobes (aka Infidels). Those needing protection from any form of hatred can humbly submit their voluntary donations to the imam at the nearest mosque.
raja says
CogitoErgoSum,
This just about sums up the tragic Islamic onslaught on infidels.
Great post.
The Left are such thugs that they don’t care even if they add salt to the wounds. especially when islam considers genocide of infidels as trophies. Seems, there’s no stopping comrade Trudeau.

Yes, they have to bleed every drop of pity from one act taken against a mozlum family, while they then milk every drop of pity when one of their “community,”…a *contribution* of mozlums…murders another for his religion, his fake ‘god,’ his false ‘prophet’ because when his brother/sister did a similar thing, no infidel appreciated the gift of terror.
One “incident” of mozlums being the actual victims, and it must stay center stage, large amounts of money must be spent, mozlums must be consulted, “included”, and applauded until the cows come home because to do otherwise, is just too much for the mozlum community….that special community that contributes so very much to society…to accept. They must be worshipped and praised and pitied …or else. But the “or else” will happen anyway.

The enemies of freedom of expression are using every excuse to stop people expressing their opinions, because they know that if they can do that, they have a better chance of permanently controlling all discourse.
mortimer says
This a perfect example of the Red-Green Axis which is at war with Western values of freedom. They are working together to crush all opposition to their hegemony.
Michael Copeland says
Of course the banner “Whoever kills…” in the picture OMITS the important exception:
“- unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land – “.
Islam authorises killing in retaliation for murder and for “spreading mischief in the land” – you know, showing a cartoon (Samuel Paty), performing a play, showing a film, or naming a teddy bear. Those are all “mischief”.
somehistory says
Very important point.

It is also a misappropriation of the Jewish tale of Cain and Abel–albeit, Cain is murdered in the Qur’an fraud (sura5:32).
Written by Jews, to Jews (the children of Israel) and plagiarized by whoever wrote Qur’an.

Exactly, Michael. Muslims can always murder in the name of Islam.

Where are monuments for Genocide of Armenians and Christians I who are persecuted and killed ?
gravenimage says
I have only seen one, Boycott Turkey: the cross on top of Mt. Davidson, San Francisco’s highest point:
https://www.mountdavidsoncross.org/about
But even this was not originally built as a memorial, and I know of no others.
Jim says
Putting up monuments to Christian, Jewish, Hindu or other victims of Jihads should be rejected, because it could cause a backlash against innocent Muslims. But monuments to Muslim victims have the opposite effect. They discourage attacks on Muslims. So, of course, the answer is obvious.
gravenimage says
What? Why would acknowledging that Islam is violent be violence against Muslims? This is the same criticism against Robert Spencer and Jihad Watch–that opposing violence is–somehow–actually committing it.
raja says
A heartless Trudeau government. I didn’t know they are capable of stooping to such lows.
somehistory says
Glenn Beck had a guy on who said that this idiot has china and cuba as his favorites….castro is his hero and he wants Canada to be like china. Seems whatever it takes to get to that level of low.
notnolib says
I know this is really out there, but has anybody ever thought to tell the muslims to do something about their terrorist co-religionists? Why can’t they convince THEM before trying to convince US.
Now certainly, not all muslims are spoldeydopes, but the ones that aren’t will NEVER tell the ones that are to stop.
There are literally two types of muslim. The ones that go ka-da-BOOM, and the ones that support them going ka-da-BOOM.
Bottom line, (p)islam is a gutter cult, and its adherents.gutter cultists.

220205 email care ask them what english text kopy of the koran they recomend you buy; then, buy it and read it. now extract the parts that support violence into specific information nodes – then, organize : sequentially line up the parts that fit together into small topic specific subject groupes.
220205 check out the muhammadan ‘Koran for yourself
220205 email ‘care’, the muslims in America council, ask them what english text ‘kopy of the ‘koran they recommend you buy; then, buy it and read it.
Type out the parts that support violence into specific information nodes – number them by order of appearance in the original = hierarchical order will be preserved while in each group you align them with, establishing target specific meaning in the importance of the text as a whole,
sequentially line up the parts that fit together under small topic specific subject groups.
several compiling fragments are/maybe involved with/belong with common major muhammadan topics.
Sequentially, top down organize your vignettes by leading statement from the ‘Koran order
Reading your text exhibits the true nature and operation of the ‘Koran… a note worthy point not revealed by this exercise is that more people have been forced : motivated to convert to islam by the ‘extortionate tax on unbelievers’ levied by ruling muhammadan’s than by muhammad’s sword or tongue.
Your are now looking at what the ‘Koranic text actually decrees is the FIRST ! second – third and so on, DUTY ! Obligation of all muhammadans; which includes the ‘Koranic list of ‘those people have to die order’ to be visited on unbelievers’…
note, the muhammadans first ‘guy that has to die status : target’ that is backed up with the ‘Koranic open : any muhammadan can be a collecting bounty hunter ‘Kill Order”, seems to be EVERY woman or man who decides muhammadanism is not the feudalist religion for her… and probably renouncing Transgender him/hers.
Second unaddressed point is the muhammadans who lie [as provided by the ‘Koran] by saying they reject their muhammadan religion so they can remain as a muhammadic fifth column in Re-Conquista lands – see spain, where that muhammadan 5th column is labeled ‘morrow’.
The black and white Berber muhammadans conquered most of spain by 700, after which, they introduced black on black slavery into the peninsula while, during their 800 year rule in spain, attempting to commercially spread black on black slavery north into Europe.

Lets throw a pity party for islam and then throw them out with the garbage and trash. Somebody please tell me what value islam is bringing to Canada or the U.S.A. A lot of our tax dollars are supporting these migrants who demand more and more from us while they spew their hate of us and refuse to follow our laws and rules of society. And don ‘t tell me that I have to accept Muslim/islamic culture and rules, because I won’t, they are a guest in my country not the other way around. If I wanted to live the Muslim/islamic life style I’d move to one of their countries. Stop trying to make Canada and the U.S.A. a country that conforms to sharia and other islamic rule. If you are a Muslim/Islamic follower and you want to live here, than you need to follow our LAWS and accept our Culture and Society or go HOME.
