In a Toronto Star article, “Broadcast of Muslim call to prayer offers lesson on gratitude,” notorious “Islamophobia” guru Amira Elghawaby hails the broadcast of the Islamic call to prayer (adhan) in Canada, as cities have made amendments to bylaws to allow the blasting of the call to prayer over loudspeakers during Ramadan. She says of those who oppose the broadcasting of the adhan:
For those of us engaged in anti-racism work, it’s difficult to forgive those who promote fear, xenophobia and discrimination of any kind. After all, their attempts at spreading division in our communities is harmful, especially when targeting vulnerable people. The hate can also have devastating consequences, as we all know too well.
But few ponder the question: how can opposition to declaration of supremacism broadcast at high volume over loudspeakers be automatically attributed to “fear,” “discrimination” and “racism”?
As is often done, the adhan is also oddly compared to church bells, which of course have no verbal content. By contrast, this is the content of the adhan:
Allah is greater (Allahu akbar); intoned four times.
I testify that there is no God but Allah (Ashhadu anna la ila ill Allah); intoned twice.
I testify that Mohammed is Allah’s Prophet (Ashhadu anna Muhammadan rasul Allah); intoned twice.
Come to prayer (Hayya alas salah); intoned twice.
Come to security/salvation (Hayya alal falah); intoned twice.
Allah is greater (Allahu akbar); intoned twice.
There is no God but Allah (La ilah ill Allah); intoned once.
Rebel Media writes:
Namely, members of one particular faith are being targeted by law enforcement to pay big fines for allegedly breaching COVID-19 safety protocols; meanwhile several municipalities are temporarily waving bylaws so as to accommodate another particular faith. Can you possibly guess which religion is enduring the religious smackdown and which one is being lovingly accommodated? I bet you can.
Amira Alghawaby, who routinely calls critics of Islam nasty names, and levies her charge of “Islamophobia” against citizens who oppose Islamic supremacism, has served as spokesperson and as communications director for the National Council of Canadian Muslims. The NCCM was renamed from CAIR-CAN, and originated with CAIR, an unindicted co-conspirator in a jihad terror funding case.
Alghawaby also wrote a defamatory article for the Toronto Star, “warning” and “instructing” readers that “Conservatives should be wary of the company they keep.” She included me in her hit-list of the “bad company” who should be shunned. It isn’t surprising to see Alghawaby claiming victimhood and trashing anyone who takes issue with the broadcast of the adhan, or, in fact, with anything to do with Islam, despite her victimizing other people with her absurd and unwarranted charges.
Many in Canada have expressed legitimate outrage over the adhan being blasted over loudspeakers. They were not only largely dismissed, but also insulted. Activist and author Diane Bederman wrote about this issue and sent out emails about why she thought the Islamic call to prayer was inappropriate to be broadcast in Canada. Here are some of the brow-raising replies she received from city councillors in Halifax, Nova Scotia, who seem to have forgotten that they are public servants representing all Canadians:
Councillor Sam Austin:
Puzzling that you’ve never written me objecting to church bells being rung on Sunday. I guess displeasure about religious call to prayers depends on your particular faith.

Austin follows up in the ongoing exchange:
I do hear church bells regularly. There are two in my neighbourhood with functioning bells. I have no problem with them or any faiths call to prayer. Thats equality and what our Charters guarantee of freedom of religion looks like, not whatever selective approach you’re arguing for. The only hypocrisy here is yours for picking on a minority when your own faith has a variation of the exact same practice. We’re made stronger as a nation through diversity. I’m sorry that your heart is closed and that you’ve forgotten the basics of Christian teaching: love thy neighbour? Do unto others? The fact that you felt compelled to write a community 1000s of Kms away to share this says a lot. I won’t be reading any further hateful emails from you.

The full exchanges can be read here.
In another email exchange that I was copied on, a city councillor in Hamilton, Ontario replied to concerns about the broadcast of the adhan. This one started out polite, though condescending:
In all fairness and as a practicing Roman Catholic, I need to say that I don’t feel the same and in fact, Catholic and other Christian Churches have been ringing bells in neighborhoods globally for a very long time, including the present time. We need to come together, through acceptance, tolerance and peace, because, the alternative isn’t Christian.
Meanwhile, in the Greater Toronto Area city of Brampton, the Peel District School Board has fired its Council Chair, Ravi Hooda, for posting “an Islamophobic tweet.” Hooda is also a real estate partner with RE/MAX, and he was fired from that position, too. Why? Because he lost his temper over the issue of the adhan being broadcast over loudspeakers:
Hooda was not given a reprimand and a second chance for his sarcasm. He was fired instantly for this tweet.
The National Herald in India also compared Ravi Hooda to “Indian nationals living in Arab countries” who have been fired for “Islamophobia.” The publication stated:
Soon after several Indian nationals living in Arab countries were fired from their jobs for displaying and portraying Islamophobia through social media, Canada has also removed an Islamophobe from his job and terminating his contract with one of the leading real estate companies…
A vicious anti-Indian campaign was recently launched and the National Herald dragged Hooda into it, even though his case was unrelated. As part of this campaign, Pakistan and Kuwait went to the Organization of Islamic Cooperation to complain about so-called “Islamophobia” in India, when the real issue is about control over the disputed territory of Kashmir, which is crawling with jihadists. Hooda’s tweet was referring, albeit testily, to patterns that are unfolding in Canada. Although there are many other ways that Hooda could have constructively expressed his disapproval, he wasn’t off base in his basic concerns.
In dissecting Hooda’s tweet and possible reasons for his upset, most people should know by now what the Islamic veil for women represents (see Quran 24:31 and 33:59) and the problems surrounding it, which have led to bans on the veil even in majority-Muslim countries such as Morocco, Algeria and Chad. Most people should also know the advances made by Islamic supremacists in Canada, especially under anti-Islamophobia motion M-103, a motion which continues to be used as a pretext for punishments against any offense to Islam in the country. The followup to M-103 has included “taking action” to crack down on “Islamophobia,” monitoring citizens for compliance and training law enforcement to investigate “hate speech,” under the guidance of questionable groups including the NCCM and Islamic Relief. As for Hooda’s reference to “allowing slaughter of animals at home in the name of sacrifice,” how quickly we forget. During Eid, a gruesome cow slaughter on private property near Toronto caused an uproar.
Did Hooda deserve to be fired without discussion or reprimand? That question calls for a discussion, but Canada no longer welcomes discussion. It is no longer a country of genuine “diversity,” much less “dialogue,” despite what it proclaims, since the very meaning of dialogue incorporates space for differing viewpoints. Dissenting views about Islam are automatically deemed to be rooted in “hate,” no matter how important and accurate the points raised. Conversations about Islam have been silenced, unless they boast about Islam being a religion of peace and ignore the global realities of rampant human rights abuses committed in the name of Islam, including the barbaric laws and policies which are enshrined in Islamic jurisprudence. Many of these have now entered Western countries, prompting a bill by the former Canadian Conservative government entitled “Zero Tolerance for Barbaric Practices Act,” which was nixed when the Liberals won the 2015 election.
A recent example involving federal Liberal riding association executive Mark Elyas illustrates how low Canada has sunk. Elyas agreed “100%” with Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte that those who defy coronavirus lockdowns should be shot on sight. He said he would also like to see “snipers posted everywhere,” and thinks Trump supporters should lose custody of their children and be exiled to detention camps. Elyas has faced no consequences for his hateful incitement.
Some food for thought as Canada begins to endure listening to the adhan from mosques over loudspeakers proclaiming that “Allah is greater.. I testify that there is no God but Allah”:
In Canada, Tablighis have become a major force in the Islamic reform movement. Virtually every mosque in Toronto has at one time or another hosted members of the group, often travelling from Pakistan to preach and convert Canadian Muslims to the “true Islam.”
“Reform movement” in this context refers to the same kind of “reform” as that advocated by the Muslim Brotherhood. An undetermined number of mosques in Canada, and in the U.S. as well, have been spreading the jihad ideology. They are often funded by foreign interests such as Saudi Arabia, Iran and Turkey. The India-based Tablighi Jamaat is an Islamic revival movement that is exponentially growing. The group is rooted in the hardline Deobandi sect. While claiming to be peaceful, Tablighi Jamaat is tied to al Qaeda, the Taliban, and Kashmir jihadis. The publication Stratfor, “a reputed geopolitical intelligence platform, published a detailed report on the Tablighi Jamaat and its links to the world of Global Jihad.” The report also included “evidence of ‘indirect connections’ between the Jamaat and anti-Shiite sectarian groups, Kashmiri terrorists and the Taliban.”
Not everyone is prepared to be dictated to by kowtowing politicians. Nor is everyone willing to sacrifice Canada on the altar of identity politics in the name of “diversity,” “tolerance,” and in some cases even “Christianity.” There is now pushback against amending a noise bylaw to allow for the adhan in the city of Mississauga. So now another motion to reconsider has been brought forth to the city’s diversity committee, after “thousands of members of the public have provided their unsolicited feedback to members of council and the city clerk.”
And separately, Canadian citizen Ram Subrahmanian is now preparing a constitutional challenge to the bylaw, which will set a needed precedent all over the country:
Subrahmanian’s Facebook movement to help raise funds and support his challenge already has over seven thousand members. In 2017, the no-nonsense Subrahmanian led a protest against Friday prayers at Peel District School Board near Toronto. Once again, Amira Elghawaby spoke out against opposition to the Jummah prayers, saying it was being “manipulated in order to drive wedges between communities instead of bringing them together.”
Without any pushback, Islamic supremacists will continue to divide the country, run rings around leaders who cave to identity politics, and intimidate detractors by accusing them of “racism” and “Islamophobia.”
Michael Copeland says
City councillors show themselves to be in need of the Learning Curve about Islam. Perhaps, like the Leader of Worcester City Council in England they think “There are LOTS of churches in Saudi Arabia!”.

Yes, ISLAM IS A POLITICAL IDEOLOGY …
-“In establishing and equipping the defense forces of the country, the focus shall be on maintaining IDEOLOGY and faith as the foundation and the measure.” -From the preface to the Iranian constitution, heading: An Ideological Army.
-“Islam is politics or it is nothing!” – Ayatollah Khomeini.
-A “very large part” of SHARIA requires “the COERCIVE POWER and authority of the state” for its enforcement. Consequently, while a state based on Islam has a legislature which the ruler must consult, its function “is really that of law-finding, not of law-making.” – Maulana Maududi, Islamic political expert
-Islam is a political IDEOLOGY. Islam divides the world into Muslims and unbelievers, kafirs. – Bill Warner, PhD, analyst of political Islam
-“Islam is at once a religion, a STATE and a SOCIETY—din wa dawla. Political power is thus entirely devoted to a religious mission. Islam is the MERGER of politics and religion.” – Fr Henri Boulad SJ, Syrian analyst of political Islam
– “Islam is a totalitarian IDEOLOGY that aims to control the religious, social and political life of mankind in all its aspects — the life of its followers without qualification, and the life of those who follow the so-called tolerated religions to a degree that prevents their activities from getting in the way of Islam in any manner. – Ibn Warraq, ex-Muslim author on political Islam
-Islam is law-oriented, not theology-oriented, and Muslim society is IDEOLOGICAL in nature. – Samuel P. Schlorff

That an elected official can be so ignorant as to believe that there are lots of churches in Saudi Arabia when there is not a single one is appalling.
Westman says
When there is a “diversity committee” one can be assured it has many “Moral Narcisists” who will compete to show themselves as having the very best of tolerance; without any study or research to back their assertions.
It seems that they have turned “Diversity” into the new religion, promising world peace, that has no basis in current or historical fact.
Giacomo Latta says
“Islam is not a race. It is an ideology”
In spite of the author of the above quote not because of him, I agree wholeheartedly. Unfortunately, Haligonians, or at least their elected representatives are so far behind the time, by 1300 years roughly, that they don’t even know that Islam is not a race. Perhaps if they would only invite Ibrahim Hooper to speak to them (Antifa won’t object) they could advance their thinking by 1300 years. I wouldn’t bet the homestead on it though.
Jerry says
It’s about time that Jihadis and their accomplices and apologists be rewarded by having their quest to reach the Islamic Paradise be expedited so that they could join Suleimani and receive al the rewards he gets wherever he is.
TruthSeeker says
As is evident the individuals protesting loudest and getting targeted are of Indian origin. India has faced the brunt of the peaceful people. Blaring on loudspeakers is a norm there. When these Canadians start getting woken up before sunrise to the call for prayers they will realize it is too late to fight back. They need to speak up now and kick out these elected shills who are selling them out for votes
mortimer says
Islam went over 1300 years without an amplified, recorded adhan. There is no need for the adhan tower today. Every Muslim can get a CELL PHONE APP to send them the prayer reminder and give them the direction of prayer even far from a mosque tower.
Why don’t the cities help set up a FREE PHONE APP for Muslims if they are so concerned about them.
Property values will drop in a 500 yard radius around the mosque loudspeaker.
Terry Gain says
The amplified playing of the Adhan by this totalitarian, supremacist, conquest ideology posing as a religion is of course not based on need.This is nothing more or less than jihad. Muslims demand special rules and exemptions while claiming discrimination. The words of that so-called prayer are grossly offensive. It is a War Cry. Everyone who stands up to these fascists puts their job in jeopardy.
It is ironic that this article appears on the 75th anniversary of VE Day. We paid a terrible price to defeat one fascist entity only to allow another one into our country. IMHO the situation in Canada is much more dire than in the United States.

Now would be a good time for the CBC, CTV, and all media sources in Canada to discuss Shari’ah law, the real Shari’ah law,
Mosque and state are NOT separate.
Justine Trudeau says “Islam is NOT incompatible with free and open Western secular democracy”.
Dr. El-Tantawi Attica, Executive Director, Dundas Street mosque sayS “Islam is TOTALLY incompatible with with Western democracy.
The Islamic Circle of North America believe:
Women are inferior.
Western civilization is the enemy of Islam.
A pregnant adulteress is to be stoned after giving birth.
A Muslim wife must obey her husband when he calls her to bed.
Music, songs are satanic .
A majority of the dwellers of hell are women.
I urge people to read the Quran, Muslim scholars like Sayyid Qutb, Syed Abul Ala Maududi and take a look at the websites of Imam Mazin, Abdul-Adhim, and other Imams.
The Muslim Brotherhood hoods active in Canada will tell you,
Allah is our adjective. The Prophet is our leader. QUR’AN is OUR LAW, Jihad is our way, dying in the name of Allah is our hightest hope.

Terry Gain,
Would it be possible for Fox news to start programming specifically for Canadians?
Fox News Canada?
Terry Gain says
James
Fox News is available In southern Ontario where I live. I do not know whether it is available in the rest of Canada. It is really up to the local satellite or cable provider. I assume that it is provided if there is a market for it. There’s probably not much demand in Quebec, but I do not know whether it’s available in the rest of Canada. I assume that it’s available in western Canada. Perhaps other Canadians can advise us.
As for having a Canadian version of Fox News I would predict that it wouldn’t last very long. Canadians are much like Americans and growing more chauvinist regarding our relationship with the United States? Ironically, we are also becoming more globalist. My impression is that most Americans don’t care what Canadians think of America and I am certain that most Canadians don’t care what Americans think of Canada. We have an inferiority/superiority complex with regard to America.
Fox News Canada would be deeply resented by most Canadians, (including me. I would find it far too liberal). In my opinion, Canada has swung far to the left in the last 20 years.There is no television network which is not left wing and all of the major newspapers, with the exception of the The Sun, a tabloid, are left-wing
gravenimage says
Terry, Fox News is the most widely watched cable news network in the US:
“Fox News reaches highest viewership in network’s history, topping MSNBC, CNN in 2020”

Terry,
Rebel News, not the only right-wing media in Canada, thankfully, has just hired a muslim who purports to be a muslim, a woman and solidly against radical Islam. In doing so, that is proclaiming a radical Islam in addition to a supposed Islam lite, they have just crossed back to the same side as the CBC, Global(ist) News, etc. A disappointing sellout.

“Fox News Canada would be deeply resented by most Canadians, (including me. I would find it far too liberal).”
Interesting that you find Fox News to be “too liberal.” In the United States, it is considered to be right of center – fairly conservative.

I am well aware that Fox News is the most widely watched cable news channel in the United States. I’ve been a regular viewer since it first became available in Canada around 2007. It is where I get most of my news because I can’t stand to watch the CBC which spins everything left. And CTV and is not much better.
Why do you think I am so well-informed? Incidentally, there is an audio of Obama at Christian Treehouse in which he laments the withdrawal. of a perjury charge against a patriot whose guilty plea was coerced by police state practices. The truth about Barack Obama is beginning to emerge and he is scared stiff of a Trump second term.

I was concerned that my language was not as clear as it should have been. What I meant was that Fox News Canada would be more left wing, out of necessity, than Fox News. Special Report is excellent. I like most of the hosts on Fox News but the format leaves much to be desired. Each of them tries to cover about eight stories per hour when I would much prefer that they cover 2 or 3 stories. And not one of the prime time group knows how to question an interviewee. And this includes Laura Ingraham, who must’ve been a top law student as she clerked or Clarence Thomas, but she can’t have had any trial experience. Hannity is the worst. He has the best guests, but he is so busy wanting to talk that he talks over his guests even when they are in the middle of an informative answer. I don’t watch CNN or MSNBC. They are both deranged.
I like Megan Kelly and think she was the smartest of any of the Fox News hosts, but of course she got drummed off the reservation for her criticisms of President Trump’s lack of sexual discipline. I was initially a Not-Trumper but he has won me over with his policy decisions, which I think are excellent. His style is still bothersome and yet he is clearly the most accessible President I have ever seen and I think he has a much under appreciated sense of humor. Canadians can’t get past his presentation. I live in a conservative area where both of my both my Provincial and Federal representatives are conservatives, but even here President Trump is largely hated, with a capital H, because of his style. This doesn’t say much for the maturity of Canadians.

I also go to various websites for news including National Post, which frequently bans my comments for being too honest, for example when I wrote in relation to his influence peddling that Biden was corrupt. Jihad Watch is of course my favourite website but I also go to Legal Insurrection, Powerline (Which has links to timely articles) Christian Treehouse, FPM, PJM, Breitbart, American Thinker and Real Clear Politcs.

Rebel News is one of Canada’s few conservative blogs. It is the creation of Ezra Levant a Jewish lawyer and counterjihadist who understands Islam. He is a great supporter of Tommy Robinson. Ezra was instrumental in removing the hate section of Canada’s Human Rights Act. He is one of the few media voices in Canada that tries to stand up to our fascist Liberal government, which denies him standing at press conferences. Ezra is very a smart man but truly clueless about how to run a blog. His initial blog was Rebel Media, which had the most unfriendly and primitive comments platform in human history. As a result it never generated traffic of more than a dozen people a day. He changed the site to Rebel News. It has now hired a Muslim woman, just to show how broad minded he is. Good grief, as if he doesn’t know that every Muslim is in adherent of a totalitarian supremacist conquest ideology posing as a religion.

That *is* disappointing, Giacomo.

Terry, I *did not* mean to imply that you are ill-informed. I imagine many would think the most widely-watched cable news is CNN.
I don’t imagine that many Americans can name the most widely watched news in Canada.
I’m afraid I had to look it up, myself. I would probably have guessed the CBC, but it turns out to be Global TV’s Global National broadcast, which I know little about.
And yes–overall I like Ezra Levant’s Rebel News (although I miss the Western Standard, driven out of business by baseless lawsuits against freedom of speech).

RESPONSE to SAM AUSTIN, COUNCILLOR, DISTRICT 5 – DARTMOUTH CENTRE, HALIFAX, NS B3J 3A5 http://www.halifax.ca
Mr. Austin, There are some BIG differences between church bells and Islamic wailing.
Church BELLS are non-verbal chimes that often sound the hour and tinkle musically and BRIEFLY for a few seconds before services.
CHURCH BELLS ARE MUSIC, not a supremacist propaganda message as the adhan is. Moreover, church bells are BRIEF, but the adhan goes on for 5 minutes. That’s 25 minutes of high-pitched wailing every day.
These are major, not minor differences.
Yaakov Holansky says
I will add one caveat to your well said point. The Adhan starts at Dawn to Dusk. I’m sure your constituents will just love you for this. Make no lose bricks are near your window.
mortimer says
The large Hindu population in Mississauga gets what you are saying. They had 1200 years of Islamic persecution and came to Canada to get away from them.
Terry Gain says
Mortimer
Your message will be deposited in his waste basket.
Infidelicus says

That would not be tolerated. The KKK cannot claim that it is a religion of brown people which is discriminated against.

How can there be Diversity in Canada when Diversity of thought is forbidden. I may be mistaken yet M-103 I thought indirectly evolved from the OIC push at the UN for a similar edict to be enforced by the UN amongst the Family of Nations. The source of their so called law having it’s origins from the Quran. Basically, Canada in it’s “Progressive” bent seeking Diversity and the “Purest” form of “Freedom” has created a Monster, a bastardized form of Freedom. It has tried to take a Group from it’s Diversity Ethno-Religious pool of Peoples whose inherent culture does not cherish tolerance, acceptance, and equality and plug it into the mosaic of a complex Society rather that the Uni-Culture that they came from Overseas. They want a Separate and Greater level of recognition for their Religion and Practices and where conflict between them and the Kuffar they shall always prevail. Unfortunately they have useful tools and fools from the Far Left and Clergy more than willing to accommodate them First and with greater consideration
infidel says
As an objective third party Hindu, I will take church bells ALL YEAR LONG over even one second of that supremacist wailing…ANYTIME!!!
mortimer says
Mississauga’s huge Hindu and Sikh population would likely agree with you.
mortimer says
The Hindus and Sikhs in Canada should stop supporting Jihadi Justin.
Maureen Chaloner says
Hang on there The argument about church bells is this: Church bells toll as a call to the ( Christian) faithful that if they WANT TO attend, the church service will begin shortly.The bells don’t send a verbal message that there is only ONE GOD and that Jesus is the SON OF GOD.If it did,Muslims would be offended. So,the Islamic call to prayer OFFENDS non believers because we have a different belief system based on historical FACT and not some made up rubbish allegedly from some murdering warlord.

I wrote a letter of protest to Bonnie Crombie, Mayor of Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, over the broadcasting of the Islamic call to prayer. It would seem that I should count myself fortunate to have been completely ignored by Her Worship, rather than to have received a similarly insulting response to those cited above. Is there anybody left in any government anywhere who is not completely lost in Opposite World fantasyland moronic denial of what is really going on? We are governed, at least here in Canada, totally by dhimmis, and most people I know don’t even realise they are in full dhimmitude. As a nation, we’re like the proverbial frog, allowing ourselves to be boiled to death because we’ve been in the water since it was just lukewarm. We’re proof positive of the truth of Scripture, that when we are totally determined to go the way of flagrant idiocy, of turning our backs on the truth, then God will let us. But He can and will also turn the tide decisively if we turn back to the truth, if we fear only Him and not the consequences of standing up and saying, “Stop this God-damned evil in our land.”

Muslim/islamic political machine will continue to push their agenda to instill sharia law and make Islam the national religion of every country they are allowed to enter. Islamic religious law leads to dictatorships and the loss of all freedoms with religious laws that control the daily life of everyone. The Islamic daily call to prayer is the beginning of the brain washing control of the minds of the individual citizens and a warning to anyone who is a non islam follower.
One thing is for certain political islam is dead serious on taking over your country and your life. Just take a few minutes to look at what Islam is doing to countries around the world, the terror and the violence wherever the show up is evident.
