Despite polls showing that 71% of Canadians would not have voted for the measure, Canada's Parliament, with the strong backing of Justin Trudeau's Liberal government, passed a motion this week 201 to 91 that critics say singles out Islam for special protection. Tabled by Muslim liberal MP Iqra Khalid, M-103 urges the federal government to “condemn Islamophobia” and to “develop a whole-of-government approach to reducing or eliminating systemic racism and religious discrimination including Islamophobia.” The term “Islamophobia” is nowhere defined in the motion.
A petition on CitizenGo asking MPs to stop the “restrictive ‘anti-blasphemy’” motion has been signed by 79,500 people.
“This motion will encourage legislation that would criminalize speech deemed ‘islamophobic’ and lay the groundwork for imposing what is essentially a Sharia anti-blasphemy law on all of Canada,” the petition states.
"If that happens, criticism of Islam would constitute a speech crime in Canada,” it states, adding that this “kind of content-based, viewpoint-discriminatory censorship is unacceptable in a Western liberal democracy.”

And that’s where they get you. How can you have a law against an action when the action is undefined?
That is very good news. Will they be voting to turn it into a law? Since 71% of Canadians do not want it, maybe that will stop it from becoming a law?
Motion, not bill.
What about the critics of Christianity?
I stand corrected. Thanks.

I’m a big fan of Zero Hedge. They have a libertarian bent, and the comments there can be almost as witty as those found on Free Republic.
But yep, you’re right. There’s a large antisemitic presence at Zero Hedge, and the moderators do nothing to tamp it down.
Stunned at the ignorance, and the surrender of the greatest of all western values, that of free thought and speech.
Fools.
America stands alone, the greatest nation on Earth.
How come nobody ever passes a Blasphemy Bill to protect Christians?
Goodbye Canada. When do we start a fence on our northern border?
If the Canadian government has decided to impose sharia law upon Canadians then they should be able to except the judgment/verdict of Canadian voters in the next election when they get sent to the wilderness.
All kinds of serious shit is about to break loose across the countries of the West. Buckle on your seatbelts. It is Ballots AND Bullets time.
Elementary, my dear FReeper, Christians won’t chop off your head if they don’t get their way.
Trudeau is jealous of Sweden. He wants to see uninhibited jihadi violence creating ever-expanding no go zones for the White Flag Cheese Eaters.
Only Mark Steyn and his buddy have made any Free Speech progress in The Great White North in likely many decades.

and YET, this Imam is allowed to spout hatred and threaten death!
AY YI YIIIIIIIIII!
Because Christians don't kill those who don't believe in Christianity?
Obviously, our neighbors to the north haven’t been paying attention to what has been happening in the UK over the past few days.
We might have to build a northern wall.
Special Rights have replaced Equal Rights here and in Canada.
For us it began in 1964 when Freedom of Association was vanquished. It has just gotten worse, year in and year out.
Most websites you can learn more from the Comments than the articles.
Zerohedge is one of the few sites that I skip the comments because they are often so vile.
The articles are often interesting and useful however.
Many Liberal Websites have removed comments because they were undermining the propaganda efforts.
