Canada moving toward criminalizing “Islamophobia” (#M103)
Jihad Watch ^ | Jan 28, 2017 | Robert Spencer

Posted on 02/10/2017 9:58:57 AM PST by Titus-Maximus

Canada is inching toward a broadly-based law that would codify “Islamophobia” as a hate crime without even defining Islamophobia or demonstrating that it is a phenomenon requiring legal action.

A big question to bear in mind is why the “Islamophobia” motion was “unanimously” agreed upon in Parliament. What happened to the few Conservative members present? And to the interim leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, and official opposition, Rona Ambrose? Were they, too, intimidated into submission at the expense of Canadians?

This incursion of Islamic supremacists and their allies and lapdogs peddling their wares into Canadian Parliament is a grave concern. Islamophobia is, has been and will continue to be (in the words of Abdur-Rahman Muhammad, a former Imam and member of the International institute of Islamic Thought) a “loathsome term” which is “nothing more than a thought-terminating cliche conceived in the bowels of Muslim think tanks for the purpose of beating down critics.”

Now this “Islamophobia” motion is inching toward law in Canada, the very real first step toward subjugating Canada under the Sharia and a kind of blasphemy law: anyone who articulates the truth about Islam faces legal Sharia penalties, a grave precedent with serious implications for Canada and the West.

After first passing a motion that condemns Islamophobia, last month, Iqra Khalid, a Member of Parliament (MP) from the governing Liberals, tabled Motion M-103 in the House of Commons. The motion demands that Islamophobia be treated as a crime without even bothering to define the offense.

Here is some information about Khalid, previously reported at Jihad Watch:

Last January, Khalid met with board members of Palestine House in Mississauga (near Toronto) and a “large number of members of the Palestinian community,” including Palestinian political activists. Palestine House supports the Palestinian al-Quds Intifada, and its settlement program was defunded by the former Conservative Harper government for allying itself with terrorism…..

According to the Canadian Arab newspaper Meshwar, which covered the event at Palestine House in honour of Khalid, “the purpose of the event was to strengthen the relationship between the members of the [Palestinian] community and the Liberal members of Parliament.”

Leftists always criminalize ThoughtCrime.

That’s what the Moslems are copying here.

I guess we’ll have to build a wall on our northern border too.

That, and add canada, austrailia, and the UK to the terrorist sponsor states.

We may need to prioritize a northern wall as a matter of fact!
Laws against “Islamophobia” are essentially Sharia Laws.

Webster defines phobia;
Definition of phobia
: an exaggerated usually inexplicable and illogical fear of a particular object, class of objects, or situation

Given the number and frequency of terrorist attacks perpetrated by Islamic extremists there is NOTHING “exaggerated usually inexplicable and illogical” about such fear.

So to all those “Free Speech” Berkeley-esque libs/celebs who threatened to move to predominantly-WHITE Canada . . .

Is this why you cowardly failed to follow thru?

You people are the saddest excuses for humans in this country

Maybe it is as simple as what Jesus Christ said, men love darkness more than light, because their deeds are evil, and Islam is DARKNESS.

Canada is hopelessly lost to liberalism. This may be the next border crisis.

Islamophobia is a made up name for telling the truth about Islam.
It is part of the taqiyya game to squelch any criticism of Islam so that they can continue to deceive the infidels until they have the numbers to subjugate them.
It’s all in their book.
Deceive the infidel until you have the numbers to subjugate, forcibly convert of kill the infidels.

This must be not just resisted, but fought tooth and nail.
The only way to defeat Islam is for the truth of it to be known. It is an evil ideology and must be eradicated like Nazism.

Yep. “Here, take our country.” I am afraid we are on a similar track in the US.

The Muslims in the Middle East must be laughing their ass off at Canada thinking how stupid they are. I don’t blame them. This country is going to be a disaster in 20 years if not less. I hate that we share a border.

IIRC, in Canada truth is not a defense in hate-crime cases.
Just because what you said is true, doesn’t excuse it if makes a protected group ‘feel’ apprehensive or endangered.

Yes, it is a stupid word. Now imagine being gay and seeing your country go in this direction. There’s nothing illogical about the fear. ...same goes for women, Jews and anyone non-muslim.

Liberal backbencher Iqra Khalid’s family moved to Canada in the 1990’s and she’s learned nothing . Never heard of The Constitution Act of 1982 . She gets elected to Parliament by Canadians and the first thing she does is introduce a Bill to gag these Canadians in favor of Islam

Well then they have screwed themselves to the wall.
They may as well line up and bend down baring their necks now and save time.
