Canadians under the Liberals are suffering numerous encroachment on their freedoms. See also HERE.
Now Canada’s Liberal-appointed Governor General Mary Simon, along with (of course) Canada’s “Islamophobia Czar,” Amira Elghawaby, and the Canadian Muslim Forum want to see the government enforce action against “Islamophobia.” The effort is yet another major effort to impose an obvious agenda on the country. Last week, Canada was forced to drop an outrageous federal “Islamophobia” guide that deemed it “racist” to criticize anti-Israel activists. Elghawaby created the 60-page guide, and the Department of Heritage published it. Canada’s largest Jewish lobby, the Center for Israel and Jewish Affairs, has previously expressed legitimate concern about the Heritage Department.
The vile-talking Laith Marouf went on to launch his pro-Hamas, Free Palestine TV show after October 7.
The “Islamophobia” guide, which was dropped after a backlash, also defined both “sharia” and “jihad” as “benign terms that are misrepresented by Westerners.” Meanwhile, another federal guide is out, advising workplaces to learn about Islam from Muslims, and permit special religious privileges.
Recently, two Toronto Police Muslim liaison officers “ praised Oct. 7 for a surge in Islam converts.” There have been no consequences so far. And right before Mark Carney was sworn in as (unelected) prime minister without even being a Member of Parliament, he condemned Israel cutting electricity to Gaza, without mentioning Israel’s reason for such an action, and he encouraged a global gang-up of allies against Israel.
While Muslim lobbies and Canada’s “Islamophobia Czar” et al aggressively continue to push their “Islamophobia” agenda on Canada, antisemitism remains Canada’s biggest, and largely unaddressed, problem.
“Canadian officials, Muslim leaders call for action against Islamophobia,” Canadian Press, March 15, 2025:
Federal officials marked International Day to Combat Islamophobia Saturday by calling on Canadians to push back against bigotry directed at the country’s Muslim communities. But one organization that defends the civil rights of Canada’s Muslim says not enough is being done to counter the rising tide of hate.
Amira Elghawaby, Canada’s Special Representative on Combatting Islamophobia, issued a statement Saturday, saying Muslims in Canada face systemic barriers and are subjected to violence and discrimination. Islamophobia, she added, comes in the form of racism, stereotypes and hostility.
“In addition to individual acts of intolerance and racial pro?ling, Islamophobia can unfairly lead to viewing and treating Muslims as a greater security threat on an institutional and societal level,” she said.
Elghawaby touted actions the federal government has taken to tackle islamophobia, saying Ottawa has stepped up support for the Canada Community Security Program and Canada’s Anti-Racism Strategy.
Gov.-Gen. Mary Simon issued a statement of her own Saturday, asking Canadians to resist engaging in bigotry. “From harassment to hateful words online, the recent rise in hostility against Muslims is not only unacceptable and devastating for the victims and their families, but it also undermines our strength as a country,” Simon said.
But the Canadian Muslim Forum says there needs to be more action than words…. |
