We Must Stop M-103!
Speech restrictive motion seeks to impose Sharia-style “anti-blasphemy” law
We only have until February 16th before Parliament votes on M-103, which would lay the groundwork for banning criticism of Islam and censoring viewpoints that disagree!
|
The motion will encourage legislation that would criminalize speech deemed “islamophobic” and lay the groundwork for imposing what is essentially a Sharia anti-blasphemy law on all of Canada.
If that happens, criticism of Islam would constitute a speech crime in Canada.
This motion uses the term “islamophobia” without defining it, and without substantiating that there is in fact any such widespread problem in Canada.
This will lead to ideologically-driven overreach and enforcement against alternative points of view—including mature, reasoned criticisms of Islam.
If this motion passes and legislation is enacted:
- Criticism of the treatment of women in Islamic-majority Middle Eastern countries could be criminalized;
- It could be a punishable offense to speak out against the Mustlim Brotherhood, or to denounce radical Imams who want to enact Sharia law in Canada;
- Criticism or depiction of Muhammad could be punishable by law;
- Schools that teach the history of Islam’s violent conquests could be fined—or worse.
That kind of content-based, viewpoint-discriminatory censorship is unacceptable in a Western liberal democracy.
Furthermore, Motion 103 addresses a particular religion to the government’s special consideration, while ignoring hostility toward other faiths, such as Christianity or Judaism.
Passing this resolution would demonstrate a clear and impermissible governmental preference for Islam over other faiths.
Sign the petition immediately to send a message to MPs and party leaders, asking them to drop support for M-103!
Thanks for joining me to stop this motion! I’ll be keeping an eye on the Motion’s progress. Hopefully we can stop it. But if it passes, I’ll be in touch about next steps…
Your friend,
Josh Craddock and the entire CitizenGO team
