I can just imagine Sharkie being the cheap tourist and tipping 25 cents to show what a big shot he is. I bet he didn't announce what a shithole the US was when he was applying for his citizenship. He would not have been allowed to settle in the US if he had made numerous trip to Castro's archipelago. Lucky for him Cuba does not stamp passports, they just insert a visitor card.
Canada: Imam openly calls Jews, Christians, atheists and free-speech advocates ‘filthy’ and ‘evil’
DEC 30, 2020 4:00 PM BY CHRISTINE DOUGLASS-WILLIAMS
This is nothing new in Canada. It is tolerated under the rubric of “diversity.” “Islamophobia” is the focus of the Trudeau government in Canada as it aims to shut down any discussion deemed to be offensive to Islam. But however hateful the imam Younus Kathrada is against Christians and Jews, it is shrugged off and forgotten, as is his justifying of the beheading of French teacher Samuel Paty. Kathrada “recently referred to the French teacher who was beheaded near Paris for showing cartoons of Muhammad as ‘a cursed, evil-spirited filthy excuse for a human being.’”
Hate laws exist in Canada, but the country has become a two-tier system: one law of tolerance for Islamic supremacists, and the other for everyone else. “The Victoria police department could not be reached for comment about whether Kathrada has been under investigation.”
The usual excuse is presented: it isn’t Islam….
“Younus Kathrada is not taken seriously in our community. Somebody making those claims is not part of Islam. But I guess there is a fringe element that follows him,” says Haroon Khan, a trustee at Vancouver’s Al-Jamia mosque, which belongs to the B.C. Muslim Association and often holds interfaith events.
Kathrada has long been hateful against Christians and Jews, backing up his views with the Quran, yet he is still indoctrinating his followers. Global mainstream leaders, including the Grand Sheikh of Al-Azhar and Egyptian President Abdelfattah El Sisi, justified Paty’s murder. Khan is being deceptive. The Muslim Association of Canada, which has branches all across the country, are linked to the Muslim Brotherhood. This is the mission of the MAC, but now removed from its site:
MAC roots are deeply enshrined in the message of Prophet Mohammad. It’s modern roots can be traced to the vigorous intellectual revivalist effort that took hold in Muslim societies starting in the early twentieth century. This revival aimed at reconciling faith with the challenges of modernity and providing a clear articulation of balance and moderation in understanding Islam. In the Arab world, this revival culminated in the writings of the late Imam Hassan al-Banna and the movement of the society of Muslim Brothers (commonly known as the Muslim Brotherhood). Al-Banna’s core messages of constructive engagement in society, focus on personal and communal empowernment, and organizational development had a deep impact on much of the Muslim world.

In 2010, Haroon Khan stood up for Islamic supremacist imam Zijad Delic, head of the Canadian Islamic Congress, who supports Hamas and Hizballah, after Canada’s Defence Minister Peter MacKay cancelled his appearance to address Islamic Heritage Month celebrations. Haroon referenced Delic as an articulate and passionate voice of reason.
Interesting also that “Vancouver human rights lawyer Aleem Harmal…said it’s become difficult to take legal action in Canada for hate speech made on the internet.” And he goes on to blame former Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper:
Stephen Harper repealed the part of the Human Rights Code that had allowed citizens to launch civil actions against online hate speech, said Harmal. As a result, hate speech on the Web is now treated as a criminal offence, which is much harder to prosecute.
Yet a 23-million-dollar Justin Trudeau program — a followup to anti-Islamophobia motion M103 — sucked up taxpayer money to do just that, promising to train law enforcement to investigate online and offline hate speech and “monitor citizens for compliance.”
Kathrada has been no secret to the Muslim community in Victoria. He has a strong following, but now that he is getting unfavorable media coverage, his Islamic supremacist friends are ready to throw him under the bus to avoid a spotlight being placed on the stealth jihad.
“Douglas Todd: B.C. Muslims rattled by confrontational Victoria imam,” by Douglas Todd, Vancouver Sun, December 17, 2020:
A militant imam in Victoria who openly calls Jews, Christians, atheists and free-speech advocates “filthy” and “evil” is causing distress among Canadian Muslims, and there are calls for him to be prosecuted for hate speech.
“Younus Kathrada is not taken seriously in our community. Somebody making those claims is not part of Islam. But I guess there is a fringe element that follows him,” says Haroon Khan, a trustee at Vancouver’s Al-Jamia mosque, which belongs to the B.C. Muslim Association and often holds interfaith events.
Kathrada — who leads an organization called Muslim Youth of Victoria that has more than 15,000 Facebook followers — recently referred to the French teacher who was beheaded near Paris for showing cartoons of Muhammad as “a cursed, evil-spirited filthy excuse for a human being.”
The hard-line imam has also appealed to his followers in Victoria and beyond to “destroy the enemies of Islam, and annihilate the heretics and the atheists.” He has told members to not vote for “filthy” and “evil” political candidates who support homosexuality or “Zionism.”
Kathrada has made international headlines before, including last year when he called Christmas a “false festival” and said it is worse for a Muslim to wish someone “Merry Christmas” than it is to engage in adultery or murder.
And he is continuing with his online denunciations.
A Canadian human rights organization that has been tracking Kathrada’s online sermons for years has been pressing for him to be prosecuted for hate speech.
“There must be consequences for years of relentless hate and incitement against Jews and others,” said Michael Mostyn, chief executive of B’nai Brith Canada, a Jewish service and advocacy group.
This fall, Mostyn said, Kathrada delivered an online sermon that referred to Jews as “brothers of monkeys and khanzeer(pigs in Arabic).” He asked God to “tear them apart.”
B’nai Brith, which has warned the RCMP’s hate crimes unit about Kathrada’s video sermons, says Canada’s law-enforcement system has shown in the past few years that it is capable of prosecuting people who advocate hate.
In November, B.C. resident Arthur Topham was sentenced to a 30-day conditional sentence plus three years probation after failing to comply with the terms of his previous conviction in 2015, when a jury concluded he had wilfully promoted hatred against Jews, Mostyn said. Topham had described Jewish places of worship as “synagogues of Satan” and advocated forcibly sterilizing Jews.
The Victoria police department could not be reached for comment about whether Kathrada has been under investigation.
Vancouver human rights lawyer Aleem Harmal, however, said it’s become difficult to take legal action in Canada for hate speech made on the internet.
The Conservative government of Stephen Harper repealed the part of the Human Rights Code that had allowed citizens to launch civil actions against online hate speech, said Harmal. As a result, hate speech on the Web is now treated as a criminal offence, which is much harder to prosecute.. |
