Putting aside the fact that racism is inclusive of Islamophobia— and therefore a redundancy– one has to wonder what motivates our prime minister to behave as he does.

On Thursday, the Virginia Department of Education published a video entitled, “Culturally Responsive and Inclusive 9/11 Commemoration,” detailing how Virginia public school teachers should handle the upcoming twentieth anniversary of the September 11, 2001 jihad terror attacks that killed nearly 3,000 Americans. The emphasis on that day and thereafter must not be on the ideology of the attackers or the ongoing jihad terror threat; rather, the focus is entirely on acknowledging and eradicating what the video calls “anti-Muslim racism.”

According to conservative journalist and social critic Ezra Levant, the demands contain “more police and political tools than Pakistan to hunt down anything judged to be critical of Islam.”

CBC also spoke with residents of Christina Lake, B.C., where Hamdan currently lives, who expressed concerns about him being in their community. None wished to speak on the record but said they were afraid of him and felt Canadian laws had failed. (Oh the Islamophobia!)
Acquitted of terrorism but still considered a threat, this man’s status in Canada hangs in limbo
… In all, RCMP had tracked thousands of posts made by Hamdan — some that he had written, others that he had shared — and flagged 85 of them for celebrating ISIS’s success, praising lone wolf attacks and the Parliament Hill shooter, as well as identifying places in Canada with weak security.
He was denied bail and spent two years in jail awaiting trial.
This is the CBC, your terrorist friendly public broadcaster.

A Polish-Canadian pastor who was arrested and jailed for holding church services in defiance of Alberta’s Public Health Act alleged that provincial health officials and law enforcement apply a different standard to Muslims who violate lockdown orders.
Pastor Artur Pawlowski, who made international headlines when he was arrested in the middle of a busy highway on his way home from church, told The Christian Post (CP) that authorities pick on Christians because they know they will not fight back.

The latest in the saga of Omar’s anti-Semitic comments.
There is a direct link between the Democrats’ identity politics and the anti-Semitism and anti-Americanism we see more of every day. Some immunity is awarded to those who belong to one of the more fashionable minorities du jour.
Some minorities are fashionable, but some — women, people of color, Muslims, LGBTQ people, and a few others — are more fashionable than others and, thus, more protected. The idea that all lives matter, not just those of minorities, is unthinkable to the wokistas.

On Tuesday, President Joe Biden issued a lengthy proclamation for “Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ+) Pride Month.” He celebrated the openly LGBT members of his administration, pushed the Orwellian Equality Act, and condemned the states that are defending fairness in women’s sports against the transgender movement. Yet perhaps his most notable move involved the horrific Pulse Nightclub shooting in 2016.

The Liberal government received harsh criticism from the opposition on Tuesday after failing to deliver on a promise to list the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organization despite voting in favour of a motion to do so in 2018.
HonestReporting Canada is alarmed to see Canadian journalists sign a partisan and one-sided anti-Israel open letter lobbying Canadian news organizations on how to cover the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The May 14 letter entitled: “An open letter to Canadian newsrooms on covering Israel-Palestine” features the names of 1,539 people as of this writing, most who are activists and academics, but several who are from reputable news organizations like the CBC, Toronto Star, Globe and Mail, CTV News, Macleans, Yahoo News Canada, Chatelaine, Global News, IPolitics, etc.
Importantly, the authors of this letter are unknown, but the letter itself is blatantly tendentious, hypocritical and skewed, and its selective use of facts reflect poorly on those who purport to be professional journalists.

Even defending the right to show a cartoon of Muhammad is now a disciplinary matter.
When a teacher at Batley Grammar School showed pupils a cartoon of Muhammad back in March, it prompted angry protests and death threats. The school was shut down for days, and the teacher was forced into hiding, fearing for his and his family’s lives.
Even worse, the teacher received precious little solidarity from the wider teaching profession or the teaching unions. And now trainee teachers could be cast out of the profession merely for defending his right to show the cartoon.

At the same time as President Emmanuel Macron wants to crack down on Islamic extremism, which he blames for a series of deadly terror attacks in France since 2015, the planned mosque in the eastern French city has found itself in the government’s crosshairs because it is backed by a leading Turkish Muslim group.

Angela Merkel may just have pushed through rapid deportation rules as well as a ban on refugees but she is not planning on closing Germany’s doors to migrants forever.

Last week, in the Swedish town of Vetlanda, a 22-year-old Afghan citizen, Tamim Sultani, went on a stabbing rampage while screaming the Islamic battle cry “Allahu Akhbar”. Eight people were reported injured in the attack, but the number was later reduced to seven. After police opened a terror investigation into the attacks, they declared the incidents were not in fact terror-related.

…These taboos demand that we talk about terrorism in two distinct ways: on the one hand, we catastrophise its far-right variant, ramping up the agency and vileness of its perpetrators; while on the other, we infantilise its jihadi incarnation, playing down the agency of its instigators and forbidding any discussion of the religious motivations behind their violence.
The Christian Science Monitor did its bit Friday for the left’s propaganda barrage, reminding us all that America is a benighted, sinister land full of racism, xenophobia, and Islamophobia, such that only Old Joe and his henchmen can save us. The Monitor painted a picture of an innocent World Cultures and Geography class in a New Jersey public school teaching about Islam and getting accused by racist redneck yahoos of proselytizing for Islam. As far as the Monitor is concerned, it’s a story of evil Trump followers hating the sainted Other; in reality, however, it reveals how Islamic indoctrination is becoming increasingly common and accepted in public schools.
