It would be wrong to assume that Islamophobia in Canada is a recent phenomenon. It has a very long history and dates back to the time when first Muslims set foot here.
In the aftermath of Quebec City mosque shooting a year ago that left six Muslims dead and 19 injured, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had said “we will rise from this darkness stronger and more unified than ever before.” Since then, there has been an alarming increasing in Islamophobia leaving Muslims in great fear.
Zionist Israel was not only created through terrorism but the contemporary terrorism blames on Muslims is the direct result of Zionist-imperialist-inspired campaign to tarnish Muslims and have a pretext for perpetual war.
For nearly a decade, the militant-secularist French ruling caste has demonized a prominent Islamic academic, Dr. Tariq Ramadan for his principled Islamic position on socio-political matters concerning the Muslims of Europe.
Islamophobia has gone mainstream. Both in North America and Europe, it has received official sanction and is being used to justify the West’s wars of aggression against Muslims.
Many US officials make wild allegations against Muslims including their being ‘terrorists’, prone to violence and other anti-social behavior. Statistics prove otherwise. Muslims in the US are some of the most law-abiding, educated and hardworking.
Takfirism and Islamophobia are two faces of the same coin. Both feed on each other and are used by predatory powers to target innocent Muslims.
While accusing Muslims of hating Americans, America itself was built of hate: hatred of the First Nations, hatred of African-Americans, Catholics, Hispanics and now Muslims.
Western rulers constantly harp about the threat from jihadists but Muslims are the real victims of terrorism at the hands of white supramists that have mushroomed all across Canada.
There is a convergence of interests between Zionism and Islamophobia. The Zionists are behind the hysterical campaign against Muslims.
Intolerance and hatred of the ‘other’ is part of the DNA of Europe but such racism and xenophobia could lead to the disintegration of Europe itself.
Muslims living as minorities in the West have an obligation to become engaged in local issues of justice and equality even while struggling for their rights.
The outpouring of sympathy from Canadians for their Muslim neighbors following the terrorist attack on a Quebec City mosque on January 29 has been absolutely stunning. Total strangers have reached out to members of the Muslim community all across Canada to offer condolences and support. This must be unique among people of different faiths across the globe.
The Sunday (January 29) night shooting at a mosque in Quebec City, Canada has left six dead and eight wounded, six of them in critical condition. The heavily armed attackers were all white and fired into a crowd of about 50 worshippers as they were offering the night prayers.
Islamophobia has not only become official with the election of Donald Trump in the US, it is spreading like a virus throughout Europe as well.
Against all odds, Donald Trump’s bigotry against Hispanics, Latinos, Muslims and Sikhs has catapulted him to the White House.His extremist vitriol made him quite popular among evangelical Christian Zionists, ultra-right wing White extremists and even the White middle class.
1Canada is a multicultural country but this is no guarantee against racist teachers. The case of one School principal in York Region (same locality where Crescent is based) has brought to the fore the danger of such people poisoning young minds.
3In an otherwise bleak political landscape for Muslims, there was some good news yesterday when a motion condemning Islamophobia won unanimous approval in the Canadian Parliament. The motion was presented by NDP leader Tom Mulcair.
2Led by the French, most Western officials seems to have taken leave of their senses. How else can one explain the ludicrous ban on burkini—the full body swimwear used by some Muslim women—under the guise of protecting women’s freedoms?
1The Western corporate media are masters of disinformation. Their ideology is well known: everything Western is superior and others’ culture, philosophy, ideology especially those of Muslims, are inferior. Their particular target is Islamic Iran because it stands for clear Islamic principles.
