This is nothing new in Canada. It is tolerated under the rubric of “diversity.” “Islamophobia” is the focus of the Trudeau government in Canada as it aims to shut down any discussion deemed to be offensive to Islam. But however hateful the imam Younus Kathrada is against Christians and Jews, it is shrugged off and forgotten, as is his justifying of the beheading of French teacher Samuel Paty. Kathrada “recently referred to the French teacher who was beheaded near Paris for showing cartoons of Muhammad as ‘a cursed, evil-spirited filthy excuse for a human being.’”
Hate laws exist in Canada, but the country has become a two-tier system: one law of tolerance for Islamic supremacists, and the other for everyone else. “The Victoria police department could not be reached for comment about whether Kathrada has been under investigation.”
The usual excuse is presented: it isn’t Islam….
“Younus Kathrada is not taken seriously in our community. Somebody making those claims is not part of Islam. But I guess there is a fringe element that follows him,” says Haroon Khan, a trustee at Vancouver’s Al-Jamia mosque, which belongs to the B.C. Muslim Association and often holds interfaith events.
Kathrada has long been hateful against Christians and Jews, backing up his views with the Quran, yet he is still indoctrinating his followers. Global mainstream leaders, including the Grand Sheikh of Al-Azhar and Egyptian President Abdelfattah El Sisi, justified Paty’s murder. Khan is being deceptive. The Muslim Association of Canada, which has branches all across the country, are linked to the Muslim Brotherhood. This is the mission of the MAC, but now removed from its site:
MAC roots are deeply enshrined in the message of Prophet Mohammad. It’s modern roots can be traced to the vigorous intellectual revivalist effort that took hold in Muslim societies starting in the early twentieth century. This revival aimed at reconciling faith with the challenges of modernity and providing a clear articulation of balance and moderation in understanding Islam. In the Arab world, this revival culminated in the writings of the late Imam Hassan al-Banna and the movement of the society of Muslim Brothers (commonly known as the Muslim Brotherhood). Al-Banna’s core messages of constructive engagement in society, focus on personal and communal empowernment, and organizational development had a deep impact on much of the Muslim world.
See this article for the screenshot.
In 2010, Haroon Khan stood up for Islamic supremacist imam Zijad Delic, head of the Canadian Islamic Congress, who supports Hamas and Hizballah, after Canada’s Defence Minister Peter MacKay cancelled his appearance to address Islamic Heritage Month celebrations. Haroon referenced Delic as an articulate and passionate voice of reason.
Interesting also that “Vancouver human rights lawyer Aleem Harmal…said it’s become difficult to take legal action in Canada for hate speech made on the internet.” And he goes on to blame former Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper:
Stephen Harper repealed the part of the Human Rights Code that had allowed citizens to launch civil actions against online hate speech, said Harmal. As a result, hate speech on the Web is now treated as a criminal offence, which is much harder to prosecute.
Yet a 23-million-dollar Justin Trudeau program — a followup to anti-Islamophobia motion M103 — sucked up taxpayer money to do just that, promising to train law enforcement to investigate online and offline hate speech and “monitor citizens for compliance.”
Kathrada has been no secret to the Muslim community in Victoria. He has a strong following, but now that he is getting unfavorable media coverage, his Islamic supremacist friends are ready to throw him under the bus to avoid a spotlight being placed on the stealth jihad.
“Douglas Todd: B.C. Muslims rattled by confrontational Victoria imam,” by Douglas Todd, Vancouver Sun, December 17, 2020:
A militant imam in Victoria who openly calls Jews, Christians, atheists and free-speech advocates “filthy” and “evil” is causing distress among Canadian Muslims, and there are calls for him to be prosecuted for hate speech.
“Younus Kathrada is not taken seriously in our community. Somebody making those claims is not part of Islam. But I guess there is a fringe element that follows him,” says Haroon Khan, a trustee at Vancouver’s Al-Jamia mosque, which belongs to the B.C. Muslim Association and often holds interfaith events.
Kathrada — who leads an organization called Muslim Youth of Victoria that has more than 15,000 Facebook followers — recently referred to the French teacher who was beheaded near Paris for showing cartoons of Muhammad as “a cursed, evil-spirited filthy excuse for a human being.”
The hard-line imam has also appealed to his followers in Victoria and beyond to “destroy the enemies of Islam, and annihilate the heretics and the atheists.” He has told members to not vote for “filthy” and “evil” political candidates who support homosexuality or “Zionism.”
Kathrada has made international headlines before, including last year when he called Christmas a “false festival” and said it is worse for a Muslim to wish someone “Merry Christmas” than it is to engage in adultery or murder.
And he is continuing with his online denunciations.
A Canadian human rights organization that has been tracking Kathrada’s online sermons for years has been pressing for him to be prosecuted for hate speech.
“There must be consequences for years of relentless hate and incitement against Jews and others,” said Michael Mostyn, chief executive of B’nai Brith Canada, a Jewish service and advocacy group.
This fall, Mostyn said, Kathrada delivered an online sermon that referred to Jews as “brothers of monkeys and khanzeer(pigs in Arabic).” He asked God to “tear them apart.”
B’nai Brith, which has warned the RCMP’s hate crimes unit about Kathrada’s video sermons, says Canada’s law-enforcement system has shown in the past few years that it is capable of prosecuting people who advocate hate.
In November, B.C. resident Arthur Topham was sentenced to a 30-day conditional sentence plus three years probation after failing to comply with the terms of his previous conviction in 2015, when a jury concluded he had wilfully promoted hatred against Jews, Mostyn said. Topham had described Jewish places of worship as “synagogues of Satan” and advocated forcibly sterilizing Jews.
The Victoria police department could not be reached for comment about whether Kathrada has been under investigation.
Vancouver human rights lawyer Aleem Harmal, however, said it’s become difficult to take legal action in Canada for hate speech made on the internet.
The Conservative government of Stephen Harper repealed the part of the Human Rights Code that had allowed citizens to launch civil actions against online hate speech, said Harmal. As a result, hate speech on the Web is now treated as a criminal offence, which is much harder to prosecute..

Well he looks filthy, and his speech is evil. When will he be arrested?
And, doesn’t their book of filth call Jews ugly, slanderous, names? And call for them to be sliced and diced? His speech is ‘islam.’
Mount Zion says
When will he be arrested ? Never ever .
You will be arrested if you said the exact same thing about muslims as he did about jews and christians. If someone had told me that there will come a time when all christian countries will fall to sharija rule and that Islam will have a higher status than christianity even in christian countries , I would not have believed it .
somehistory says
Oh, I know. It’s one of those questions to which all know the answer.
But if they actually have a law that criminalizes ‘hate speech,’ and there is a punishment, then his speech qualifies. Except, that when it comes to ‘hate speech,’ it’s all in the ears of those who disagree. Too many agree with his speech for him to be arrested.
Peter35 says
Ah, but that hate speech only applies to us, never to ‘mr trudeau’s’ islamic buddies

I’m deeply offended that he considers “Merry Christmas”
to be worse than murder .How many christians have been fired for opposing sharija oppression or for having posted something critical of Islam years bevor they even had the job they were fired from , like most recently the Tennessee attorney . Isn’t considering Merry Christmas to be worse then murder a sign of radicalism or a non willingness to assimilate , isn’t that much worse than posting something truthful that is critical of that beautiful religion of crap . He should get his ass kicked out of the country and never be allowed back .

revereridesagain says
Well, as an adult-life-long atheist I’m used to being called that by almost everyone who believes in the supernatural, though some religions are more restrained and practice better manners than others. Islam is the only one I know of (aside from a few cults) the faithful of which not only wish to, but believe their imaginary god has conferred upon them not only the right but the duty to kill me. And all the rest of us who do not believe in their particular set of imaginary friends, role-models, and tyrants.
And yet they are still honored by virtually one and all as a Great World Religion, even when they put their vile ideology into homicidal practice. Moral corruption on that level is the product of cowardice on a grand scale.
No one has the right to outlaw an opinion, or an emotion, including “hate”. Only its violent expression, which violates the rights of others. That is a more sacred principle than anything which can be read in the Koran or any of the rest of Islamic “holy writ”. Because it is based on recognition of and respect for the nature of human consciousness and reason.
Dan says
Hate to rain on your parade but…
Communism, which demands the State be the supreme final authority instead of some “imaginary friend” has killed MORE people in the last hundred years than ALL the wars and conflicts.
70 million in China.
Some 50 million in Russia.
Does God exist?
I believe so.
For all its faults, and even if religion has been used to justify “Going to war,” you cannot deny that in countries when God is gone, those cultures don’t seem to NEED to go to war to slaughter wholes sale.
They seem quite content, and busy enough, butchering their own.
somehistory says
“Dark Agenda,” by Mr. David Horowitz, spells that out pretty plainly with a whole lot of sources cited. Very interesting book, I might add.
gravenimage says
Dan, Communism is evil Fascism is evil, and Islam is evil.
And your idea that devout Islamic nations are peaceful is is quite mistaken. Just look at violent hell holes like Afghanistan, Yemen, and Somalia.
Really, it depends what religion you are talking about.
Dan says
Graven,
You misunderstood something here.
Never said Islam is good.
Can’t STAND the murderous #$^#ers.
Spent almost 2 year sailing through that neck of the woods and in EVERY SINGLE Islamic country, from the Maldives to Turkey, we were either attacked by Muslim pirates, or cheated and stabbed in the back by locals.
I got NOTHING good to say about Islam.

Can this woman become the first cop in Quebec to wear a hijab?
A 17-year-old woman is at the centre of a heated debate in Canada over whether police officers should be allowed to wear hijabs or turbans.
Sondos Lamrhari is the first student in Quebec to wear a hijab while studying to become a police officer.
A Quebec politician said she should not be allowed on the police force, which has ignited a firestorm on both sides of the issue.
Meanwhile, a law banning face coverings in public services is going to court.
Guide to Muslim headscarves
Ms Lamrhari says she will not let the controversy deter her from her dream career of working for the Montreal or Laval police forces.
“I feel like all the other kids. I don’t think I have a better or worse chance of getting into this career path,” she told Radio-Canada.
“Any insults just motivate me.”
Religious symbols – especially head coverings worn by Muslims – have frequently become a topic of bitter debate in Quebec, where state secularism is highly prized.
Quebec bans face coverings in public services
Legal challenge against Quebec face-covering ban
The issue of whether public servants should be allowed to wear religious symbols or clothing has arisen in all recent elections. She is Sharmota cop …. her pictures also says many words….lol.. No to Sharia Law , When you are Muslim you are deceived always.

That is, well, if this foul looking maggot hates Christians, Jews, atheists etc, then what the fuck is he doing moving to a country full of those non-Muslims that he loathes so much. But, of course, this disgusting looking piece of crap, is part of the invading Muslim army. His only purpose in life would be to impose barbaric islam on all of us. They should throw this 7th century Arabia looking scumbag out of Canada immediately, but, no doubt, because all our western countries are just too nice and too tolerant, they’ll let him remain to spew out his filth.

WATCH ABOVE: At 21, Austin Lewis of Toronto lives his life in a wheelchair. Now, as Sean O’Shea reports he’s also dealing with another obstacle when it comes to getting a subsidized apartment: he has the wrong religion.
TORONTO — A disabled Toronto man had his name removed from the waiting list of a subsidized city apartment because he does not meet the main criteria for living there: being Muslim.
“It doesn’t make any sense; I lived in Texas, that doesn’t make sense even there,” said Austin Lewis, 21, who is paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair.
Lewis is attempting to find subsidized, rent-to-income accommodations in Toronto. He has applied to dozens of apartments through Housing Connections, an organization that manages a waiting list of applicants applying for subsidized housing.

I wonder if Arthur Topham learned something from his 30-day sentence. Namely that wilfully promoting hatred against Jews, describingJewish places of worship as “synagogues of Satan” and advocating forcibly sterilizing Jews is not his affair. It is strictly a domain reserved for muslims.
mortimer says
All Muslims know that the Koran teaches hatred against KAFIRS.
Just ask any Muslim whether he considers you to be a KAFIR and watch him or her BLANCH!
mortimer says
KAFIR IS THE WORST WORD IN ISLAM
The language of Islam is dualistic. As an example, there is never any reference to humanity as a unified whole. Instead there is a division into believer and kafir (disbeliever). Humanity is not seen as one body, but is divided into whether the person believes Mohammed is the prophet of Allah or not. Christians and Jews are disbelievers, but disbelievers are kafirs, too. Polytheists are Hindus, but they are also kafirs. The terms infidel and polytheist are religious words. But the word “kafir” shows the common political treatment of Christian, Jew, Hindu, Buddhist, animist, atheist and humanist. They are treated as second-class or worse.
The word kafir should be used instead of “unbeliever” or non-Muslim, the standard words. Unbeliever is a neutral term. The Koran defines the kafir, and kafir is not a neutral word. A kafir is not merely someone who does not agree with Islam, but a kafir is evil, disgusting, the lowest form of life. Kafirs can be tortured, killed, raped, lied to and cheated.
Kafir is what the Koran and Islam call the disbelievers. Kafir is the worst word in any language.
mortimer says

Truth be known, ISLAM is totally hate speech and violence against non-islam believers. Muhammad ran a gang of road thieves that preyed upon the travelers and caravans steeling, raping, and murdering the travelers and merchants on the road. Guess what Islam continues his legacy of crime, hate, and deception.
Hiding the truth about Islam behind Islamophobia is the LIE and deception.
