The Trudeau-appointed Islamophobia czar, Amira Elghawaby, endorsed a federal guide called Managers’ Guide to Supporting Muslim Employees. It advises employers to grant special privileges and allowances to Muslims in the workplace, and advises non-Muslims to learn about Islam only from Muslims. The expectation in this guide is that Canadians must accommodate Muslims in the workplace, not that Muslims should adapt and assimilate into Canadian society.
The Muslim Federal Employees Network (MFEN) is behind the guide. In its own words, it “plays a key leadership role in supporting the Government of Canada to become a model of inclusion of Muslim public servants.”
MFEN goes much farther. It declares:
Islam is one of the fastest growing religions in the world. It teaches that there is only one God(Allah) and that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) is the last in a long line of Messengers and Prophets which include Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, Solomon, John and Jesus. The Holy Qur’an and the Sunnah [the teachings and the example of the Prophet
Muhammad (peace be upon him)] are the main Islamic sources of guidance for Muslims. The Qur’an is the last of a succession of holy books (e.g. Torah and Bible) revealed by God over 1,400 years ago. Muslims recite from the Qur’an, in Arabic, in their daily prayers. There are five pillars in Islam: Testimony of belief in monotheism, daily Prayer, Fasting during the month of Ramadan, obligatory Almsgiving and Pilgrimage (Hajj) to the city of Mecca.
Muslims have 5 obligatory prayers a day; sometimes up to 3 of the 5 prayers occur daily during a 9am to 5pm workday. Prayers must be performed within their allocated time periods which vary day to day and month to month because the length of daylight/night-time hours change from day to day, and from one geographical region to another. A Muslim must complete ablution with clean water prior to praying which can be done in public washrooms. The place of prayer should be clean, quiet, and afford the individuals with some privacy. Jumu’ah congregational prayers, while obligatory on men, will also be attended by others.
The Muslim Federal Employees Network also states that “Islam has codes of conduct for how men and women interact with each other,” and “Islam sets out dietary restrictions for Muslims, making it important for them to be careful about…..,” etc.
In the West, men and women are equal under the law, unlike the Sharia, in which women are of inferior status.
Amira Elghawaby is former communications director of the National Council of Canadian Muslims (formerly CAIR-CAN), a group that has been brazenly anti-Israel, and she continues to advance Islamic agendas and interests.
Amira Elghawaby isn’t really Trudeau’s Islamophobia commissioner.
Her real job is to undermine claims of antisemitism, and constantly shift the subject away from antisemitism, especially antisemitism by Canadian Muslims. https://t.co/s4Jm0dLvDu

Days ago, Trudeau’s former Finance Minister Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland, who quit her cabinet positions in December, pledged to “scrap” an important division of the Canada Revenue Agency: the Research and Analysis Division. And “she signed and sent a letter about her plan to the National Council of Canadian Muslims.” Her actions follow expressions of “concern” from special interest groups.
In March 2023, alleged “civil liberties groups” called for an “immediate moratorium” on so-called “prejudiced audits” of Muslim charities. The aggressive launch to smear the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) as “Islamophobic” for investigating highly questionable Islamic charities continues to gain momentum within the Trudeau government. There is no “systemic discrimination” against Muslims in Canada. But there is substantial reason to investigate Muslim charities, as Jihad Watch explained HERE.
The Liberals continue their practice of putting special interest groups before Canadian interests. This includes the unreasonable accommodations and privileges outlined in the federal guide that has been imposed upon Canadian workplaces. What does anyone in the West think will happen if Jewish and Christian groups brazenly stated their expectations of privilege in Islamic countries?
“Federal guide advises prayer spaces, limits handshakes for Muslim employees,” Western Standard, February 23, 2025:
A new federal guide for managers recommends creating prayer spaces for Muslim employees while advising executives to avoid handshakes with them.
Blacklock’s Reporter says the Managers’ Guide To Supporting Muslim Employees outlines religious considerations in the workplace and emphasizes accommodations for one of the largest employee networks in the federal public service.
Amira Elghawaby, cabinet’s Special Representative on Combating Islamophobia, endorsed the initiative, noting the Muslim Federal Employees Network’s significant presence in government offices.
“My office was pleased to collaborate alongside the Network on a new course on Islamophobia now available for all federal public servants,” she stated….
I AM THE INFIDEL YOUR IMAM WARNED YOU ABOUT says
She is dangerous. We don’t need to learn about Islam from muslims because we already know what their version and narratives will be.
I advise my fellow Canadians to get your hands on a quran in English and read it. Then compare all the 114 chapters with verses from the Bible and Torah. You’ll be surprised to learn that quran is absolutely the opposite. The quran teached violence, murder, beheading, child marriage, wife beating etc. The quran and hadiths compare women with dogs and donkeys.
Canada needs to get rid of this evil woman. I hope the Conservatives remove her on Day One.
Tim gallagher says
Perfect summary of islam. What a load of immoral filth it is. From this Muslim or any other Muslims all people will get is lie after lie about filthy Islam being nice and nothing to worry about until the muslims build up their numbers and try to take over.

Canada under the shallow and adolescent leadership of Justin Trudeau is going dementedly stupid. We can be absolutely certain that this imbecile ‘leader’ who is supposed to resign but continues on his merry way being the de facto leader of apparently constitutionless Canada, is behind the elevation of the disgusting Amira Elghawaby.
I’ve been around a few years and one look at this woman tells me all I need to know. A couple of years ago the Muslim columnist who wrote for the Toronto Sun, the late Tarek Fatah and a balanced man, wrote a column entitled, ‘There is no Islamophobia in Canada’, but never mind, the utterly failed lame duck Prime Ministers, Justin Trudeau and Amira Elghawaby, want us to think there is.
From Muslims, meanwhile, we have Judeopobia, Christianophobia, Hinduphobia, Buddaphobia and every other religeous phobia known to man.
And to think that CSIS is being dragged into this disgusting stupidity. Till reading this news I had considered CSIS one of the few Canadian organizations that had retained some credibility.
Kodus to the always wide-awake Ezra Levant and Rebel News for warning us, but watch the forever conforming, oh so goody-good devoid of independent spirit Canadian corporations embrace this total rubbish with lies abounding about Islam. This is what distinguishes Jordan Peterson from most Canadians. With his independent spirit and refusal to conform he is an anomaly in Canada and now better off in Arizona.

somehistory says
Wham mozlums are in control, everything is to be done to make them feel special. Otherwise, they realize just how stinky evil and unwanted they really are.
And the directions not to shake hands with them….this is actually a protection for the infidels as mozlums have some sickening rules about the use of their hands. No thinking person would wish to be exposed to the filth they carry.
Otherwise, mozlums would consider infidels as committing the fake phobia if they refused to shake.
Trico says
Canada’s federal guide called ‘Managers’ Guide to Supporting Muslim Employees’ should be called ‘Managers’ Guide to Supporting Muslim Supremacy’.

Her need for control over the information source shows that they know people are wising up about the lies we’ve been told and are getting more knowledgeable. Msm losses must be in part attributable to these lies; I know that opened my eyes.

They tried the “special privileges” BS at my former employer. When the other employees found out they threatened to quit so the boss dropped the whole thing.

Canada needs to learn about Islam from Robert Spencer from his books and the writers at Jihadwatch.com .
Rob Porter says
Well said, Taffy. I long ago learned a huge amount about Islam and Muslims for Robert Spencer.
Justin Trudeau is a clueless, ignorant ass regarding just about everything. His messing around in Ukraine and gift to it to continue fighting its losing war, has ensured that Trump will punish Canada with tariffs.
Trudeau has told us of improved guarding of the border, but only since then once have I seen a Black Hawk helicopter going over to the border just ten minutes away by car.

Terroristic Islam and its Muslims desire special government protection for Muslim terrorism, discrimination, and violence taught from the Quran.
Islam and its Muslims fund, promote, and practice ideological subversion, propaganda, bigotry, discrimination, deceit, supremacy, segregation, hatred, violence, and terrorism as taught in Islamic Law and in Islam’s Quran, and Muslim actions should be legally challenged with a multi-faceted force of Western Laws like Muslims wield against Americans and Westerners. Like a Foreign Terrorist Organization(FTO) designated by the USA Secretary of State, Islam is a MUSLIM TERRORIST ORGANIZATION(MTO) fighting against Non-Muslims and NOT A PEACEFUL religion under Western Law because Islam funds, teaches, and promotes a Terrorist Criminal Organization with Muslims as Terrorists for Allah. Under Islamic Law, Muslims are required to terrorize Non-Muslims becausee it is a Crime against Allah to neglect this Muslim DUTY; Jihad means warfare against Non-Muslims to ESTABLISH ISLAM’S RELIGION(Quran 3:151; 9:29; Muslim Law Manual – “Reliance of the Traveller”, o9.0 and more). More specifically, Islam is a Muslim Terrorist Ideology and Murderous, Criminal Enterprise of intolerance, continuous war, discrimination, segregation, supremacy, genocide, polygamy, propaganda, deceit, hatred, incitement, sedition, rape, terrorism, and violence against all Non-Muslims as taught in the Quran(Quran 2:216; 4:65,89,95; 5:14; 8:12,39,74; 9:5,21,29,36, 41,49,88,111,123; 21:92; 49:15 and more).

How much longer is Canada tied w/ the Libs? I can’t wait for Trump’s tariffs to kick in
Hoi Polloi says
This alone is sufficient relations-based reason to not relent on tariffs. If the entire country is forced to bow to this, the Canadian government deserves the same warning that Vance issued to Europe, and followed up with doubling down, specifically, that we won’t support governments that do this to citizens.
abu taleb says
For non muslims, learning Islam from muslims will not get the true Islam. Non muslims should learn Islam directly from Quran, hadiths, sirat and tafsir directly because muslims will either lie about the true Islam or do not really know themselves about Islam. Or learn from non muslims who have studied Islam like Robert Spencer or David Wood.
But the simplest thing to learn Islam is by observing muslims’ behavior, muslims attacking churches and other religions should give some clue about Islam. Muslims also implements hipocrisy and double standard at such level that no match for non muslims. And see how muslims treat women. Muslims apologist are quick to say that those behavior are not Islamic, but then they blame either the victims or others not the perpetrators. So it is actually Islamic.
Jerome Henen says
The west has diligently ignored the threat for decades. Now it is too late, the radicals have taken over Europe and are well on their way in Australia , Canada , and the USA. It IS a war of civilizations , there is no way of getting around that. These people do not want to negotiate, they want to take over and form the new world wide caliphate. And the west to is too cowardly or stupid or both , to stop them.
Colin says
This is another Trudeau disaster and must be anti constitutional, If Trudeau wants this then EVERY other group in Canada MUST have the same. If muslims choose to be Canadian and live by Canadian values then this should be scrapped or do as Sweden has done, dont integrate go home.
James Lincoln says
According to the feature article:
Amira Elghawaby endorses a federal guide that advises non-muslims to learn about islam only from muslims.
I.e., a whitewashed version of islam.
jerome henen says
This is just so perverse it sickens me. not only are these govt. unions viciously anti semitic but jewish federal workers are forced to pay dues to them!
only a truly dumb biased govt implement could such horrific actions taking no account of other groups.
Islam is the most destructive force on earth. just LISTEN RO WHAT THEY OPENLY SAY – DEATH TO JEWS DEATH TO ISRAEL DEATH TO USA.
The vast majority of terrorist attacks around the world are committed by radical extremist muslims..the supposed moderate ones stay silent because they know their vicious brothers are following the diktats of islam – to slay infidels and cut their necks.
Western society is retrogressing as liberals help islam destroy us. it is just frightening , disgusting and perverse in the extreme.

SHARIA IS SHIT-DON’T PUT UP WITH IT
memi says
Great info and should ring an alarm for those who believe that State and Church, when it comes to terrorist-supporting political Islam, should remain separate. Muslims will not turn the country that offered them a new and safe home into an Islamist Sharia Law misogynist, terrorist-supporing Islamist state!
In terrorist-jihadist controlled “Syria”, the new terrorist Leader al-Jolani ($10Mil.Reward for terrorism) they forced all Christian restaurants to close during Ramadan. Even in Islamist Turkey and UAE they stay open!
It is to be expected that this Canadian government will soon be banning Christmas, Rosh Hashanah and Diwali and SHARIA law will be imposed–as it actually did under ex-Liberal McGuinty in Ontario Province back in 2005! It was some non-Islamist muslim women, together with politicians of conservative parties that fought to against turning back the clock to teh Middle Ages.
When will the Cdn gov. realize that Christians, Jews and Indians are under attack by the Liberal government.

Canada: Federal guide advises workplaces to learn about Islam from Muslims, permit special religious privileges
………………………..
What insanity is this? Why should anyone in Canadian workplaces need to learn about Islam? Unless it is casual, religion seldom comes up at work, nor should it.
And if someone wants faith-based days off, they can just ask–whether this is Ash Wednesday, Good Friday, Passover, Yom Kippur, or Eid. just ask with plenty of notice.
Islam *certainly* should not be imposed on Canadian workplaces.
