Geico drops Linda Sarsour as a diversity speaker after backlash from Jewish groups

Linda Sarsour and Mentors

The Geico insurance company on Thursday canceled a company event with Linda Sarsour, a prominent pro-Palestinian activist who has been widely accused of antisemitism, after backlash from Jewish groups.

“We apologize to our employees, customers, and others for our initial plan to invite Linda Sarsour to speak at our internal event,” Geico said in a statement.

To me this perfectly illustrates the truth of the “diversity” con.

Sarsour is a known crank. I believe she was chosen by design not by accident.

Diversity Smokescreen

The notion that a demographically representative college class makes for better education is a pretext for the real proposition: that certain people deserve reparations.

The Supreme Court has agreed to hear two more cases challenging the use of race as a criterion in college admissions, as has allegedly happened at Harvard University (a private institution) and the University of North Carolina (public). On the surface, the argument turns on whether the desire for a diverse student body trumps many laws and the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which prohibit discrimination and guarantee equal protection to all. The question applies to virtually all universities because they are either public or accept government money.

Fla. police chief fired for racist hiring practices conducted in name of “diversity”

Larry Scirotto – Gay Racist

A Florida police chief has been given the boot after an investigation found he engaged in discriminatory promotion practices, and remarked “that wall is too white” when looking at pictures of the department’s command staff.

Larry Scirotto — who took over the Fort Lauderdale Police Department in August — was fired by the city manager on Thursday, according to a press release. The report followed several discrimination complaints that alleged Scirotto, 48, made hiring and promotion decisions with an illegal race-based approach.

Yet Another Toronto Jewish Teacher Greeted with Hitler Salutes

TORONTO – For the third time this month, students at a Toronto public elementary school have performed the Hitler salute in class, this time targeting a Jewish teacher in a Grade 6 classroom.

The latest incident occurred Thursday at Pleasant Public School in North York, Ont. The victim, a substitute teacher who regularly works at the school, was approached in the classroom by two male students who performed the salute and kept their arms raised for a lengthy period despite the teacher’s request to stop.

“They knew exactly what they were doing,” the teacher told B’nai Brith. “I felt attacked. They kept their hands up for a long time. It was blatant and so obvious.”

Douglas Todd: ‘Astonishing’ findings on Canadian ethnic groups’ earnings and education

Chinese and South-Asian Canadians are among the top earners and most educated. White people tend to be in the middle, while Latin American and Black Canadians come in lower.

Ethnic segregation is forming along urban-rural lines

People of colour and whites are making remarkably different choices about big cities and small towns.

Sixty per cent of all people of colour in Canada live in just three cities — Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver. That compares to only 27 per cent of white people.

Put another way, the report said, “Only about one in 20 (visible-minority members) live in smaller cities, towns and rural areas, compared with about one in three white people.”

Indeed, the report says one reason many people of colour earn more than white people is they live in metropolises, where wages tend to be elevated. The authors also found white people were more likely to be married, have children, and not be living with their parents.

Europe’s Multicultural Volcano

 

“If Europe does not regain control, Islamized mini-states could soon appear “. The prediction comes from the Russian political scientist Sergei Markov. In an interview published by Lenta.ru, Markov notes that European institutions are adapting to the Islamic way of life, values ​​and traditions (the recent campaigns of the Council of Europe in favor of the Muslim veil is an example), and adds:

“Fully Islamized Islamic enclaves, mini-states and neighborhoods in large European cities will begin to appear. Yes, they will always be a minority. But they are more united and threaten violence. And the state will have to obey their instructions”.

Europe should pay attention to what Markov says. It is not even a warning. It is already here. In 2021, 35,000 migrants landed on the Italian island of Lampedusa — five times the number of inhabitants on the island (6,500), according to InfoMigrants. Imagine if the same demographic process took place in a city — and then more cities.

Hook-handed hate preacher Abu Hamza’s toxic family

Career crook Tito ibn Sheikh appeared in the dock at Southwark Crown Court this week.

But his crime — plotting to launder hundreds of thousands of pounds of stolen money for which he was sentenced to nearly four years — was perhaps less shocking than his notorious family background.

He was born Hamza Mustafa Kamel before changing his name to Tito ibn Sheikh, which roughly translated means ‘son of a venerable man’ in Arabic.

In practice, ‘diversity, equity and inclusion’ boils down to leftist dogma, including hatred of Israel

Kudos to the Heritage Foundation workers who pinned down crystal-clear evidence of ugly bias among those pushing “diversity, equity and inclusion,” or DEI.

Specifically, proof that US university DEI staffers are overwhelmingly anti-Israel — and pro the government of China.

They identified 741 DEI officials at 65 different campuses, then examined each one’s Twitter feed for statements on Israel and China.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Result in Anti-Semitism

G. Tod Slone has written that “as a political ideology, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), has proven time and again to be against freedom, reason, and truth.  Proponents of the ideology tend to be hypocrites and anti-white racists [.]”

In fact, DEI is also a pathway to anti-Semitism.

Canada’s Conservative Leader Shares Platform with Infamously Extreme Islamist Clerics

He’s gonna need more sphincter relaxant. A lot more.

From “the warm comforts of your home … a dynamic array of international speakers” will kick off this year’s Reviving the Islamic Spirit (RIS) Convention in a virtual setting. One of the most important Islamic conferences in the West, this two-day Canadian event will feature a wealth of world famous Islamic clerics and activists, as well as leaders of both Canada’s political Left and Right: Jagmeet Singh, the head of Canada’s New Democratic Party; and Erin O’Toole, leader of Canada’s Conservative Party.

… One of Saturday’s controversial speakers includes Shaykh Abdul Nasir Jangda, the founder, of the Qalam Institute in Arlington, Texas. In his early academic career, Jangda studied at Jamia Binoria—an international Deobandi Islamic educational institute located in Karachi, Pakistan. Extremist ideas have followed the Shaykh back to the United States, where, in his sermons and lectures, he has reportedly attempted to justify sex slavery and has “expressed support for the killing of apostates and adulterers.”

Ain’t diversity grand?

In a normal world an Ass-clown like O’Toole would be forced to resign the party leadership. But in Canada it’s simply accepted that our political leaders will cultivate the most evil of Muslims.

Canadian Imam Younus Kathrada: Congratulating People on Christmas Is Like Congratulating Murderers and Pedophiles; It Is a Major Sin

Canadian Imam Younus Kathrada: Congratulating People on Christmas Is Like Congratulating Murderers and Pedophiles; It Is a Major Sin

In a Friday, December 17, 2021 sermon at Muslim Youth Victoria, Canadian Sheikh Younus Kathrada discussed congratulating non-Muslims on their festivals during the Christmas season. Sheikh Kathrada said to his audience that since they would not congratulate fornicators, murderers, or pedophiles, they must also not congratulate people who are insulting Allah by celebrating Christmas. Sheikh Kathrada then prayed for Allah to humiliate the infidels, to annihilate the atheists, to destroy the enemies of Islam, and to support those who wage jihad.

Most Diversity Officers at Universities Aren’t All That ‘Inclusive’ When It Comes to Jews and Israel

A study by the Heritage Foundation released this week shows that the vast majority of diversity and inclusion officers at universities hold anti-Israel and pro-China views.

Heritage researchers reviewed the Twitter feeds of 741 diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) officials at 65 different U.S. universities to determine their attitudes toward Israel and China.
