A Canadian school board recently caused an uproar after it withdrew support for an event featuring Yazidi activist, former Islamic State (ISIS) sex slave, and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Nadia Murad out of concern it could foster “Islamophobia” and “offend” Muslim students.
The Toronto District School Board (TDSB) decided to pull a book club event scheduled for February after it planned to feature a discussion around 28-year-old Yazidi activist and Nobel-prize winner Nadia Murad’s memoir, The Last Girl: My Story of Captivity, and My Fight Against the Islamic State, which describes her frightening capture and enslavement by ISIS terrorists in 2014 as well as her daring escape.
The autobiographical work also details her family’s execution as well the repeated rape and torture she endured as she was exchanged among ISIS militants.
The reason for the cancellation, according to the board, was that Murad’s book could “promote Islamophobia” and “offend” Muslim students.
The book club at which Murad was to be featured was founded by entrepreneur Tanya Lee in 2017 and invites teenage girls from various secondary schools to discuss books with their female authors.
After being informed of Murad’s cancellation, Lee, who herself suffered sexual and physical abuse as a child, sent the board’s superintendent Helen Fisher information about ISIS gathered from CNN and the BBC.

So the school board recognizes that all muslims do support the likes of ISIS?
Because if they didn’t there would be no cause to be offended.
I guess they just can’t let the truth about islam see the light of day.
Anyone here afraid of Islam? A phobia is an anxiety disorder, persistent excessive fear.
Canada is full of homosexual and weak men. There is no other explanation.
Islamophobia bad, Caucasiophobia good.
+10!
Typical Leftist policy: When the truth offends Muslims, hide the truth, When the anything offends Christians, proclaim it.
