Politicians Define Any Opposition to Special Privileges for Moslems as “Racism” or “Hate Speech”<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The loud media apologists for M-103 — radical Moslem Liberal MP Iqra Khalid’s denunciation of Islamophobia, systemic racism and her call for the Common s Heritage Committee to recommend measures to combat these say, \u00a0“Don’t worry. It is just an expression of sentiment, not legislation.” True, but the follow-up will be legislation. “Islamophobia” is such a vague term. Considering the terrorist mayhem perpetrated by some Moslems in the name of their faith, a certain caution about Moslems would seem only sensible.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
In case you believe “Islamophobia” only covers some irrational anger at Moslems, look at the comments of Brampton’s Mayor Linda Jeffrey. If you criticism special privileges for Moslems in the public schools, you’re engaged in “hate speech”.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Recently, the Peel District School Board announced it was hear no more public delegations about Moslem special privileges and Friday prayers. You may be a parent and\/or taxpayer in Peel, but you just shut up and don’t forget to pay your taxes. We only want to hear from privileged minorities and their White collaborators and cheerleaders. Of course, Christmas assemblies disappeared years ago in the name of inclusiveness and diversity. It’s a real verbal trick to enforce “inclusiveness” by excluding the Christian Majority. At the February Board meeting, the Board’s ancient Chairman Janet McDougall cut off delegations critical of favouritism for Moslems and denounced as “racist” \u00a0a citizen wondering whether the Friday sermons at these privileged prayer sessions would be vetted for “hate speech”.<\/span><\/div>\n

Brampton, Ontario — Mayor Linda Jeffrey\u00a0<\/span>is dismissing critics<\/span><\/a>\u00a0who object to Muslim students having\u00a0Friday<\/span><\/span>\u00a0prayer sessions in public schools as purveyors of \u201cmisinformation and hateful speech.\u201d Jeffrey was responding to critics in a letter she released\u00a0Thursday<\/span><\/span>\u00a0as Toronto-area parents in the Peel District School Board are preparing a full-scale protest\u00a0on Saturday<\/span><\/span>\u00a0to demand that public schools not promote one religion over another.<\/span><\/p>\n

The parents have organized a \u201cCanada First\u201d movement and plan a \u201cWalk to Oppose Religion in Schools\u201d this weekend at Celebration Square near Square One in Mississauga, a suburb of Toronto. They are also opposed to the motion introduced by local Liberal Member of Parliament Iqra Khalid\u00a0<\/span>that would ban \u201cIslamophobia\u201d<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and potentially make their protest subject to hate crimes legislation.<\/span><\/p>\n

The parents are furious with the Peel District School Board\u2019s decision to lift all restrictions on what are called \u201cFriday<\/span><\/span>\u00a0prayer days\u201d for Muslim students. The sessions take place on school time and include both prayers and sermons that are usually read in Arabic \u2014 leading many to ask just what is being said.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the last board meeting,\u00a0<\/span>parents expressed their outrage<\/span><\/a>\u00a0over school board chairwoman Janet McDougald\u2019s dismissive attitude when she was asked, \u201cWhen you vote to allow Islamic Prayer in public schools, will you record all sermons that are offered in Arabic so we can analyze them later to ensure there is no hate speech being offered?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

McDougald called the questioner a \u201cracist\u201d and threatened to not take any more questions at the meeting.<\/span><\/p>\n

In January the board lifted restrictions it had placed on the Muslim students that limited their selection of prayers and sermons to a pre-approved list. Now they can choose whatever they want.<\/span><\/p>\n

Parents also want to know why there is Muslim prayer in public schools when no other religion is accommodated with special prayer sessions.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
