Canada: Jewish group ‘shocked’ at Muslim student org’s invitation to Muslim cleric who wants genocide of Jews
The CIJA is “shocked” and considers Tareq Al-Suwaidan a “notorious extremist.” Among his antisemitic statements, they note that he describes the Jews as “the most hostile enemies of the Muslim nation.” But that isn’t “extremist,” it’s mainstream Islam. The Qur’an says: “You will find the Jews and the idolaters the most vehement of mankind in […]
Canada: Muslim organization unveils 61 recommendations for government to fight ‘Islamophobia’
The term “Islamophobia” is an illegitimate conflation of two distinct phenomena: crimes against innocent Muslims, as in the case of Nathaniel Veltman, which are never justified, and honest analysis of the motivating ideology of jihad terror, which is always necessary. Islamic advocacy groups and their leftist allies have been insisting for years that such analysis, […]

Canada: Muslim lawyer says ‘anti-Islamophobia’ is ‘yet another tool to consolidate the Islamophobic status quo’

A total surrender to jihad violence and unqualified acceptance of Sharia oppression of women and others seems to be the only thing that will satisfy Azeezah Kanji. “The coloniality of Canadian Islamophobia – and anti-Islamophobia,” by Azeezah Kanji, Al Jazeera, July 2, 2021: In the wake of the latest […]
Canada: Ontario gives $300,000 to Muslim organizations to help combat ‘Islamophobia’ in schools
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, […]
Canada: MPs vote unanimously to hold ’emergency summit on Islamophobia’ before August
The politicization of this tragedy, the murder of a Muslim family, has been ongoing. Canada is not an unwelcoming, racist, “Islamophobic” country. On the contrary.

Canada: Muslim who narrated ISIS’ execution videos was ‘devout in his faith,’ went to Egypt to study Qur’an
Everyone in the Western world knows that the Islamic State (ISIS) has nothing whatsoever to do with Islam, except the ISIS jihadis themselves. Nor does anyone seem curious about how this alleged misunderstanding of Islam became so widespread. “RCMP preparing charges against Toronto IT worker who became ‘voice of ISIS,’ document reveals,” by Stewart Bell, […]
