Islam in Canada

[pr126]

Isn't it odd that as soon as people converting to the religion of peace and tolerance, they start murdering people?
I wonder why is that.

One Ring Book to rule them all, One Ring Book to find them,
One Ring Book to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

No, these aren’t real news stories. This post is a spoof.

Many a true word spoken in jest.

Interesting social psychological experiment. A Lefty fascist hits "Islamophobe" op his face, and "Islamophobe" does not mind. Speaking to camera, the man who played the role of the racist concluded: 'So err.. the social experiment had a negative ending to it but, you know what? It's positive because he stood up for him and I appreciate that. 'It's good.'

This is what happens to racists in Canada… Filmmaker left bleeding after playing role of Islamophobe in ‘social experiment’

A video experiment has shown most urban Canadians will leap to the defence of a Muslim person singled out for abuse, even in the wake of the country's recent Islamist terror attack.

One angry resident of Hamilton, Ontario, punched a man playing the part of an Islamophobe having a go at a man wearing Muslim-style clothing at a bus stop.

He was left bleeding from his nose for the part he played in what the YouTube filmmakers called a 'social experiment'

The following event will take place in the north-central area of Toronto, is free to all registrants and comes with a free meal. How it will go, I have no idea. Perhaps someone in attendance from this forum will enquire about the Islamic law of abrogation which renders all peaceful commands from the Quran null and void?

York University Muslim Students Tackle Youth Radicalization

North York Mirror
November 4, 2014

Just weeks after two Canadian soldiers were killed by extremist converts to Islam, Muslim students at York University will hold a forum denouncing the murders, drawing attention to the growing problem of youth radicalization and praising Islam as a religion of peace.

“It is to educate students and people across Canada about the peaceful teachings of Islam,” Jari Qudrat, president of Ahmadiyya Muslim Students’ Association told The Mirror.

“We felt our faith had been hijacked by these extremists.”

The association’s campaign is known as Stop the Crisis, all in capital letters with an emphasis on the “ISIS” part of the word crisis to refer to the terrorist group ISIS or Islamic State of Iraq and Syria.

The campaign is part of a national movement by students and others to highlight the global issues of growing youth radicalization and increasing Islamophobia, which is the fear or hatred of Islam or Muslims.

Qudrat said he is grateful to live in Canada, a country where people are educated and most don’t link Islam to terrorist acts.

At the same time, he understands that people are afraid and don’t understand why extremists are committing atrocities.

He also pointed out it is not only radicals identified as Islamic extremists that carry out terrorist acts.

The Nov. 13 forum will feature a Canadian who has converted to Islam who will condemn ISIS.

While the forum had already been in the works, it has taken on additional significance since the murders of two Canadian soldiers in October.

Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent was run down Oct. 20 in a parking lot in St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, south of Montreal, by Martin Couture-Rouleau, who lay in wait for two hours.

Couture-Rouleau, a 25-year-old who was shot and killed by police following a car chase after he had run over Vincent, had his passport seized in July to prevent him from going to Syria to fight with ISIS.

Just two days later, Cpl. Nathan Cirillo was fatally shot by Michael Zehaf-Bibeau while standing guard at the National War Memorial in Ottawa. Zehaf-Bibeau, a radicalized 32-year-old who was also seeking to fight in Syria, was shot and killed after storming Parliament Hill.

Qudrat, a third-year student at York’s Schulich School of Business, condemned the killing of the soldiers.

The deplorable actions of Couture-Rouleau and Zehaf-Bibeau do not represent the “pure and pristine” teachings of Islam, he said.

The issue of youth radicalization hits close to home at York, Qudrat, said.

He pointed to former biology student Mohamud Mohamed Mohamud, who appears to have been killed in September while fighting with ISIS in Syria.

“We can’t just avoid (the issue) and hope it doesn’t happen again,” Qudrat said.

He is hoping the forum will “leave an impact in the hearts of Canadians” so everyone understands terrorist acts have nothing to do with Islam.

“There is a verse of Islam (that says) ‘If you kill innocents, you kill all mankind,’” he said.

“Islam, Christianity and Judaism are religions of peace. Religion has nothing to do with these acts.”

The forum will be held Nov. 13 in York’s Vari Hall. Doors open at 6 p.m. and a free dinner will be served.

I hate to be cynical ( ) but ISTR being horrified by some goings on at York University when it wasn't clear that it was York in Canada, not England. I can't recall what it was, but it raised my blood pressure at the time. So I wonder: taqyya? There is, after all. a lot of it about.

Canadian born woman on Ghadafi's most wanted list

Accidental activist or not, she soon found herself on the list of Moammar Gadhafi's 11 most-wanted women in Zawiya.
"The idea behind it was that these women should be, if found, arrested," she says. "We had seen what had happened to the men on the previous lists that had been released by the government at the time."
The targeted women's families were able to successfully hide them.

25th anniversary of Polytechnique massacre

The survivors are for more gun control. They think the takeaway message is that it was a gun crime, not a religious action.

Since 1991, the anniversary of the massacre -- which falls on next Saturday -- has been designated the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women.

Some Are More Equal Than Others

The Webber Academy is an acclaimed secular private school in Alberta. It treats all religious faiths equally: no religious observance is permitted in school. No prayers, no worship services. Not for any religion. Period.

That is, until some parents of Muslim students filed a complaint with the Alberta Human Rights Commission. The HRC found against the Webber Academy, and ordered it to pay a fine, and to accommodate its Muslim students, to avoid discrimination.

In other words, Muslim students must be treated differently from all other students, otherwise they are being discriminated against.

[manfred]

Then surely all teaching staff will also wear a colander on their heads at all times should a pastafarian demand it...

And what about the human rights of those students who prefer not be bad-mouthed in Islamic "Prayers" five times a day in their own school?

This needs to be appealed in a court of law.

Apparently the Canadian HRC is working from the Cairo declaration of Human Rights 1991 (see Article 25 thereof).

One wonders just who is running the Canadian HRC. Or who is their paymaster.

It;s a while since we had news from Canada but the dhimmis have been working hard meanwhile.

Quebec’s Proposed Imposition of Blasphemy Laws Will Affect Us All <xnip>
The Head of the QHRC, Jacques Frémont has already openly said that he plans to use such powers, “to sue those critical of certain ideas, ‘people who would write against … the Islamic religion … on a website or on a Facebook page’” according to Canada’s National Post.

Excellent news. A small step in the right direction.

Excellent news. A small step in the right direction.

Here a Canadian Muslim prisoner is beat up for Islamic proselytizing. Another step in the right direction?

Tarek Fatah has posted a couple times on his FB page about the Quebec vote, and they are apparently serious about it. The Legislative debates have been between MLA's and a Muslim who doesn't speak French, so he needs a translator. The gist of the argument is that Moses, Jesus, Abraham, et al., aren't here to defend themselves when we say they aren't real, or there is some doubt about them, so we all have to step up to the plate and defend them in their absence. Poor fellas.

[Fernando]

So the man's a religious obsessive. Does that mean that politicians have to make the whole of Quebec dance to his tune?
EDIT
What the legal position in Quebec concerning criticism of more recently dead people, people who can actually be shown to have existed? Is that illegal already?
