The Canadian Parliament has now passed an “anti-Islamophobia” motion, “amid increasing attacks on mosques and Muslim communities in the country and throughout the world.” This is beyond bizarre, considering the truth about attacks throughout the world. Such attacks are most commonly on Christians by Muslims; against Muslims by Muslims, against apostates and infidels by Muslims. Add to that the jihad attacks in Europe and the rampant sex assaults and crimes by Muslims upon innocents. As for attacks against Muslims on Western soil, they remain very low. A much greater problem tabulated in hate crime statistics is against blacks and Jews.
Canada is slipping down a dangerous slope. The government and Islamic supremacists have now partnered to attempt to silence anyone who criticizes Islam. The Canadian anti-Islamophobia motion resembles a kind of blasphemy law in favor of one preferred religion above all others in Canada; one may be persecuted for expressing any criticism of Islam even when warranted.

I suppose it will mean that Canadian MSM can no longer print or report stories on islamic atrocities.
Anti-Islamophobia Motion.
That would be AIM. As in, you are now a target. Good idea, eh?
Very strange that, the more pernicious and damaging islam makes itself, the more our world governments move to protect it and its adherents.
Canada will be another good place for Hillary voters to go after she loses.
Anti-Islamaphobia?
So they WANT Canadians to be Islamiphobic?
Who in their right mind votes these people into office?
To be followed by "in the home" if there are minor children living in the house.
It's "for the children."

“GSC, this is not an act. It is a motion. An indication of their feelings. It is not law.”
I dittoed you, because you saved me the trouble of typing much the same thing.
Often such motions are simply a way of taking the pressure off government over an issue, without having to actually do anything about it. That’s often enough to mollify activists, until some other shinny object catches their eye.
However, this motion does reveal some disturbing things about the Lieberal mindset. It is also likely to be seen as a signal to the various Human Rights Commissions (a perfectly Orwellian name for those fascistic bodies). Expect fines and worse for anyone found “guilty” of harbouring bad feelings toward Islamist terrorists and their fellow travelers.
I’m not sure jihad watch is telling the real story . The motion needed unanimous consent to pass.
After question period, Mulcair, acting on an e-petition sponsored by Liberal MP Frank Baylis, asked the House to join the more than 66,000 Canadians urging parliamentarians to condemn all forms of Islamophobia.
While most MPs yelled out: “Agreed.” A handful of Conservatives said: “No.”
The motion was denied.
Conservative government members of Parliament did not support the motion, and the Liberal MP from Mississauga Centre, Omar Alghabra, referred to the Conservative attitude as “troubling.”
Samer Majzoub, the initiator of the petition, was in Ottawa to witness his motion pass and told reporters that he was sad to see Conservative MPs block the motion.
Your point well taken by me. I just could not get any actual numbers on the voting. I suppose one would have to go to Hansard for that. In any case a "condemnation" seems to be superfluous to me. I just wonder about the "hate crimes" brigade.
There is this. A comment made in the comment section of the article by billybob , November 5, 2016 at 3:33 pm ,
According to the record in Hansard, the official record of proceedings in the House of Parliament, immediately after the motion brought by the Hon. Thomas Mulcair (Outremont, NDP) that the House join the 69,742 Canadian supporters of House of Commons e-petition (e-411) in condemning all forms of Islamophobia, that the Hon. Candice Bergen (Portage—Lisgar, CPC) brought forth the following motion…
Mr. Speaker, in light of the motion that was just adopted by the House, and given that tomorrow is International Religious Freedom Day, I would like to seek the unanimous consent of the House for the following motion. I move:
That, this House condemns all forms of persecution against all religious groups including Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs and Muslims.
The Speaker:
Does the hon. member have the unanimous consent of the House to move the motion?
Some hon. members: Agreed.
The Speaker: The House has heard the terms of the motion. Is it the pleasure of the House to adopt the motion?
Some hon. members: Agreed.
(Motion agreed to)
Candice Bergen is the Conservative House leader. This happened on Oct.26th. Mulcair made his motion at 3:10 pm ,Bergin made hers at 3:15 pm.
