Are Canada's Islamists Calling the Shots?

Government Petitioned to Silence Critics

The discourse of "Islamophobia," and this petition, are nothing more than a continuation of the efforts of Islamists to silence their critics as they advance their own political agenda.
The Liberal Party of Canada appears to have been infiltrated by a variety of individuals who are supporters of Islamist extremism. This is beginning to look like a classic case of political entryism.
In 2016, Prime Minister Trudeau chose not to observe any official 9/11 memorial ceremony to honour the Canadians who died that day. However, the very next day, he attended the Ottawa Main Mosque which has multiple links to extremism. This despite recent stories in Canada about extremism in mosques and schools in Canada.
It was the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hassan Banna, who stated that "It is the nature of Islam to dominate, not to be dominated; to impose its law on all nations and to extend its power to the entire planet."

Samer Majzoub from Quebec has initiated an official Government of Canada petition to the House of Commons. The sponsor of the petition is Liberal Member of Parliament Frank Baylis. The petition calls upon the government to condemn all forms of Islamophobia.

Samer Majzoub self identifies as being part of multiple Islamist (extremist) organization in Quebec, including the (in)famous Al-Rawdaw Mosque[1] and the Muslim Association of Canada (MAC). MAC itself states that they follow the teachings of Hassan Banna and the Muslim Brotherhood. If there was any doubt, a senior member of MAC, Dr. El-Tantawi Attia, made it clear when he stated: "Here we follow the teachings of the Muslim Brotherhood."

The Muslim Brotherhood is listed as a terrorist group in many countries in the Middle East, while a recent UK government report states that the Muslim Brotherhood

"have a highly ambiguous relationship with violent extremism. Both as an ideology and as a network it has been a rite of passage for some individuals and groups who have gone on to engage in violence and terrorism."

The Muslim Association of Canada itself has been identified in Canadian Senate testimony as being a Muslim Brotherhood front group.

Accusations of racism and "Islamophobia" are the sword and shield of extremist Islam in the West. It makes excellent use of the concept of perpetual victimhood. The motto of the Muslim Brotherhood is:

"Allah is our objective; the Prophet is our leader; the Quran is our law; Jihad is our way; dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope."

The term "Islamophobia" was popularized by the mullahs in Iran after the 1979 Revolution. Women who would not willingly wear the veil were attacked by the government and accused of being "Islamophobic" for not submitting to the will of the (male) mullahs. Richard Stone was one of the authors of a letter to The Guardian in 1994 that used the term; he was also on the Runnymede Trust, which put the term into broad circulation in 1996. Trevor Phillips, of Britain's Equalities and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), who commissioned the Runmymede Report, has now admitted, in a damning new report on integration, segregation, and how the followers of Islam are creating "nations within nations" in the West, that he "got almost everything wrong" on Muslim immigration.

It is not unusual for a Liberal Member of Parliament to support efforts by extremists. Canada's Parliamentary Secretary for Global Affairs (Junior Foreign Minister) is an open supporter of Islamic sharia law. Several other Liberal Party members have close links to extremism as well. Additionally, in 2016, Prime Minister Trudeau chose not to observe any official 9/11 memorial ceremony to honour the Canadians who died that day. However, the very next day, he attended the Ottawa Main Mosque, which has multiple links to extremism. This despite recent stories in Canada about extremism in mosques and schools in Canada.

Canada's Minister of Democratic Reform, Maryam Monsef, is another Liberal Party member creating waves around her place of birth and Islamist belief system. She campaigned on a narrative of how she, as an Afghan refugee, could do great things in Canada -- until it became clear she was born in Iran. She was reported to have tried to return to Afghanistan to take a job there in 2014, but now it seems she spent the time in Iran instead. More notably, she claims to find sharia law "fascinating."

It was the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hassan Banna, who stated that "It is the nature of Islam to dominate, not to be dominated; to impose its law on all nations and to extend its power to the entire planet." The discourse of "Islamophobia," and this petition, are nothing more than a continuation of the efforts of Islamist to silence their critics as they advance their own political agenda.

Of course they are calling the shots and Trudeau is agreeing to anything they want. These are his new best friends and voting base because they know they can manipulate him and his cronies to help him with his globalist agenda. The words HIGH TREASON come to mind and it's time for our Lieutenant Governor and Attorney General's office to take this threat seriously. Trudeau and his government are the biggest known threat to Canada and need to be gone yesterday.

Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do until 2019; when we vote this Islamic idiot out of power ! Justin is simply NOT listening to Canadians; indeed he seems hell-bent on enshrining Sharia law into Canada before he gets kicked out

IF you believe for one minute we are going to have the opportunity to vote this traitor out next election, you only fool yourself! He has imported and will give voting rights to enough foreign/islamic/illegal voters to keep him in. Our money has bought all of their votes and his changes to our laws, removal of our immigration laws and citizenship laws for most of them will have us removed following the next election. Either we will go willingly or be the sheep led to slaughter!

The Muslim Brotherhood since its inception in the early 1930's has always advocated violence and the use of violence against political opponents.
It's the first political movement in the Middle East that approved of political assassinations in Egypt. Moreover, it had good relations with Nazi Germany- admired Hitler and maintained correspondence with Nazi political leaders.

It believes wrongly that Islam has called for the establishment of a state or Caliphate but there is nothing in the scriptures to support this contention.
There are 5 pillars of Islam and the Islamic state is not one of them. If it was that important it would have been mentioned. Yes there is no big difference between the MB movement and other Jihadist outfits because they all subscribe to the same ideology which is based on hate, violence and coercion to achieve political objectives. As far as Islamophobia is concerned,there maybe some groups on the far right who might turn it to their political advantage given the current political context.

"[The Muslim Brotherhood] believes wrongly that Islam has called for the establishment of a state or Caliphate but there is nothing in the scriptures to support this contention."

I guess you must have forgotten the 109 verses calling for violence against the unbeliever, in the Q'uran alone? Taquiyya at its finest! And kindly enlighten us as to why not one single "non-violent" Muslim ever speaks out against terror attacks or any of the other wonderful practices in Islam, such as incest, female genital mutilation and child rape/trafficking gangs?

"Yes there is no big difference between the MB movement and other Jihadist outfits because they all subscribe to the same ideology which is based on hate, violence and coercion to achieve political objectives."
In this, you are correct. That ideology is Islam itself.

"As far as Islamophobia is concerned,there maybe some groups on the far right who might turn it to their political advantage given the current political context."
And just how could "groups on the far right" profit from being publicly vilified using this Islamist-generated non-word? The only ones turning this non-word to their own advantage are the Islamists, who pressure politicians to pass Sharia anti-blasphemy laws. Now who do you think benefits from those? Not right wing anything!

Condemning Islamophobia is one thing, criticizing Muslim extremism and terrorist behaviour is something else. Our political correctness is making it very difficult to address problems as they arise, especially if those that cause the problems are Muslims. Trudeau is making Western Europe's errors by catering to radical Muslims and refusing to acknowledge the fact that most terrorism is perpetrated by these people. Instead of trying to protect these terrorists, he should be making it clear that most Muslims are not terrorists, that they are simply people like all the rest of us and that we all must take care not to tar the whole Muslim population with the brush of terrorism while at the same time dealing honestly and publicly with the perpetrators of any attacks or other forms of unacceptable behaviour.

Article points to the possibility that Islamists may be calling the shots for the Canadian government in other spheres - including immigration. How else to explain the fact that almost 100% of the "Syrian refugees" coming to Canada through Trudeau's resettlement program are Sunni Muslims - hardly any persecuted Christian and Yazedi refugees in evidence.

Canadian & most Western leaders have completely lost their souls & mind in their endless but useless effort to appease those who want to destroy them and everything they stand for.

There is nothing to discuss. Trudeau must go. The fools who voted him in may by now be coming to their senses (if they ever had any senses) but this young madman can and will seriously damage the country. He inherited a nastiness from his father and some mental issues from his mother but none of his malaise is as pathetic as that suffered by the young fools who voted him in. If he stays, President Trump may be forced to build a second wall along the 49th Parallel.

You just have to look at the leading Liberals, Omar Alghabra the former pro-terrorist head of the Canadian Arab Federation, Maryam Monsef who you mentioned, Arif Virani and his ties to Ismaili infiltration in goverment and pro unlimited immigration as Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, Ahmed Hussen's history of calling Canada a racist country for not allowing more Somali immigration, Iqra Khalid and Kalil Ramal both have ties along with Omar Alghabra to the Muslim Brotherhood, and I could go on for pages more.

It is amazing how Christian countries are so afraid of the Muslims, and allow them to cause trouble where ever they are.
The recent UNESCO vote was the most disgusting form of fear "to give the Muslims wherever they want, and allow these savages to deny that the Temple Mount and the Western Wall, is sacred to Jews and Christians.

Time for the Christian world, and the Pope to stand up and condemn UNESCO and any other form of Jew hatred.
The Pope has been very quiet on the UNESCO vote against the Jews.
The Muslims are waiting for their time, when they will deny that Christ lived and died in Jerusalem.
Trudeau is afraid of the Muslims.
Mari Le Pen and Trump are the only politicians who are not afraid of Islam.
Hopefully, Le Pen will be the next Franch president.
She will get rid of all the illegal trouble makers and rapists./
Trump has been called a racist.
He is not racist, he will protect USA and deport the many millions, of illegals.
I believe that Clinton will give them immediate citizenship, so they can vote for her.
As Trump said. Voting is rigged.

I hope, hope, hope that Canada, and in particular Justin Trudeau, wakes up and realizes what is happening in his country before the situation escalates to something like what we see happening in Sweden right now.

I think it's absolutely horrible, how the Canadian politicians, and most politicians in Europe for that matter, are either blind, or don't want to acknowledge what is happening.

I'm not Canadian myself, but I really like this country, and I don't want to see beautiful Canada being ruled under Sharia law.

If these politicians think they can keep bringing in so called refugees to dump on the taxpayer to support forever, both Canada and the U.S. may end up in a civil war with the refugees. No one has the right to arrive in a host country and start making any demands what so ever. They are there only because the host countries government invited them in offering them help. That is what Obama has done bringing in thousands of Syrians without even consulting the small towns population about anything connected to it expecting the refugees to be greeted like long lost relatives while the taxpayers pockets are picked to support them. As far as I can find out the Muslim Brotherhood slithered into the U.S. in 1962 and set up shop figuring the U.S. looked like good pickings in the years to come. They certainly called it right about that.

Our Liberal politicians are making the same mistakes that Europe made, with the influx of Muslim Refugees is seems to be a badge of honor for women to be shrouded with only their eyes being seen walking and shopping in grocery stores in Mississauga. Most of the warehouses closed because of the loss on manufacturing jobs are being bought and converted into Muslim mosques and schools.
One of the largest mosques being built in Meadowvale, Mississauga is towering over the 401 Highway and was approved by the Liberal council over the objections of local residents.
Mississauga is a hub of Muslim growing dominance, look at the congestion caused in various communities for the Friday prayer.
The Liberals are destroying the fabric of Canadian society.

Truer words have never been spoken. If this is not stopped my grandchildren and great grandchildren will suffer the consequences of this inept government forcing this, onto the people of Canada. When you have a Prime Minister that prays in a Mosque you know that Canada is in trouble. The demise of Canada is imminent, if Junior and the Liberal party does not step down. Second generation Muslims will retaliate and want to protect their race, and they will become radicalized and that will end Canada. Shame, shame on this government and the people that voted them in. Calling Canada a democracy is a joke because it does not represent all Canadians only the ones that voted Liberal.
