Karina Gould is the MP for Burlington. What will she do when he stand with “the LGBTQ2+ community in Burlington” collides with her stand against “Islamophobia”?
Here are some news stories from this year alone:
Germany: More than one attack every day on gays in Berlin alone, overwhelmingly by Muslim migrants
Germany: Muslim migrant brutally attacks transvestite, stabbing him repeatedly
Islamic Republic of Iran: Muslim family beheads man for being homosexual
Netherlands: Muslim plotted jihad terror attack on Gay Pride parade and Jews, is cleared
Malaysia: Government steps up attacks on LGBT people, proposing harsher penalties under Sharia
Karina Gould would of course respond, if anyone pointed these stories out to her, which no one will, that these perpetrators were all twisting and hijacking the religion of peace. But in reality, any criticism of Islamic doctrine and practice is routinely condemned as “Islamophobia.” When Pamela Geller and I put ads on San Francisco buses quoting various Islamic leaders saying that homosexuals should be put to death, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors condemned our ads, rather than the Islamic leaders. And so what will Karina Gould do, if it comes down to a choice? Will she condemn Islam’s death penalty for homosexuality and thus be “Islamophobic,” or will she stand against “Islamophobia” and remain silent about the plight of homosexuals in Sharia states?
A hadith depicts Muhammad specifying the punishment for homosexual activity: “The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, ‘Whoever you find doing the action of the people of Loot, execute the one who does it and the one to whom it is done.’” (Sunan Abu Dawud 4462)
“Far too many are hurting in our country,” by Karina Gould, Burlington Post, June 17, 2021:
…We also witnessed the horrific act of terror perpetrated against a Muslim family in London, who were simply out for an evening stroll. Four innocent people were killed and a nine-year old boy was tragically orphaned. This reminds us all that Islamophobia and hate are far too present in Canada.
Islamophobia is a scourge we must all work to end. I am grateful to our city and mayor for working with our Muslim community and the Halton Mosque for holding a prayer service at Spencer Smith Park on June 11 in honour of the memory of the Afzeel family and to stand against Islamophobia and hate.
It was an incredibly moving service. I was privileged to attend in solidarity with the Muslim community and allies in Burlington.
We must be active allies in the promotion of inclusion and belonging.
In our own community we heard of LGBTQ2+ individuals, families and allies whose properties were damaged and who received hateful letters delivered to their homes.
As an ally to the LGBTQ2+ community in Burlington, I publicly denounced these acts of hatred. It hurt LGBTQ2+ individuals and families in our community particularly as June is Pride Month.
We still have work to do right here at home to build a welcoming community for everyone.
Collectively, we are mourning these horrific events. But from all of this we have the opportunity and the duty for self-reflection and growth.
It is disheartening to see and know that hate persists in Canada. It is dispiriting to see, in addition to the incidents noted above, rising anti-Semitism, anti-Asian and anti-Black hate.
As your member of Parliament, I will continue to stand against hate, in all of its forms, and work every day to root it out and build bridges across communities. Everyone, regardless of religion, creed, race, gender and sexuality has a right to feel and to be safe in Canada. Today, there are too many Canadians who are hurt and scared. I commit to continue doing everything I can to see that right realized.

Why am I blocked from entering a comment here. Did I offend Muslim? Or you simply want to hear opinions you agree with?

Unless this poster is advocating violence or threatening other posters, it is unlikely that his comments would be blocked–this one obviously wasn’t. Not sure what he’s on about…
Joseppi says
sorry Mr. Gravenimage,
I’ve never been threatening or advocated violence on here, but always get “moderated” (cancelled).
To their credit, these exceptional Journalists have suggested that my truthful vitriol might be best shared on my own platform…. but alas I’m busy enough publishing harsh rebukes & scathing condemnation against the fakenews pseudoscience phoney
“climate emergency” CarbonTaxFraud SCAM,
as well as shaming the immoral fiberal libtard satanists who promote “women’s rights” as evil greedy kill4cash sociopath abortionists coercing vulnerable Mothers into crushing the skulls of their innocent defenceless harmless Children Alive in the womb… DISGUSTING.
Obviously the delusional duplicitous fibtard “karina fooled” is a militant promoter of both fiberal fallacies as well as the divisive duplicitous delusion of isLIEmaphobia….

There is also the case of posts being completely off-topic. That may–assuming this claim is accurate–be the case here.

Have a look at this interview by owen “I don’t have a clue” jones and a gay fakestinian activist, who lives in East Jerusalem, where he is safe.
It’s absurd.

mortimer says
RS says they are ‘IDIOTS … CONFUSED!’ Agreed. They cannot analyze opinion surveys that reveal 60% of Muslims want strict Sharia and many want blasphemers to be killed. Over 60% of Muslims want Islam to rule dictatorially over every society.
Official Definition of Jihad according to Saudi Arabia:
“Jihad is holy fighting in Allah’s Cause with full force of numbers and weaponry. It is given the utmost importance in Islam and is one of its pillars. By Jihad Islam is established, Allah’s Word is made superior (which means only Allah has the right to be worshiped), and Islam is propagated. By abandoning Jihad Islam is destroyed and Muslims fall into an inferior position; their honor is lost, their lands are stolen, their rule and authority vanish. Jihad is an obligatory duty in Islam on every Muslim. He who tries to escape from this duty, or does not fulfill this duty, dies as a hypocrite.” – footnotes on p.39, ‘The Noble Koran’, published by King Fahd Complex for Publication of the Quran, Madinah, KSA.
Hoi Polloi says
The blindest of the blind. LGBTQ2 allies who commend islam to show their support for LGBTQ2. Women who align themselves with islam in any form. Politicians who send their citizens to fight to die liberating muslims from muslims. Anyone who shrieks about supremacists but ignores the world’s largest and most cohesive supremacist body. Anyone who claims there can be any peace in the face of this reality.
mortimer says
LGBTQ2 and Islam mix like oil and water. Or like gasoline and fire.
Hoi Polloi says
Yes, oh yes, and one would think that would be obvious. Alas.
mortimer says
How witty by half are these INSTANT, SPONTANEOUS, SELF-STYLED ‘EXPERTS’ who haven’t read as single book on Islam, but yet, preposterously present themselves as EXPERTS on what Islam teaches.
The following are OFFICIAL LEGAL DEFINITIONS of the objectives of jihad from the ‘Reliance of the Traveller’ :
– “Jihad is a communal obligation,” meaning upon the Muslims each year. [Reliance of the Traveller, Book O9.1]
Jihad is something Muslims must do against non-Muslims every year.
– RoT – O9.0: Jihad : (O: Jihad means to war against non-Muslims, and is etymologically derived from the word mujahada signifying warfare to establish the religion.
– RoT – O9.8: The Objectives of Jihad : The caliph (o25) makes war upon Jews, Christians, and Zoroastrians…
– RoT – O9.9 : The caliph fights all other peoples until they become Muslim (O: because they are not a people with a Book …
-The caliph (RoT – o25) makes war upon Jews, Christians, and Zoroastrians
◦Make war upon such of those to whom the Scriptures have been given (Jews and Christians and Zoroastrians) such as believe not in Allah. (K.9:29)
Wellington says
Proving again Napoleon’s assertion that stupidity in politics is not a handicap.
mortimer says
Reply to Napoleon: Stupidity in a politician will be a handicap if the POPULACE is WELL-INFORMED by a FREE, BIAS-FREE PRESS with PROFESSIONAL JOURNALISTS.
Unfortunately, most journalists today are held down by GLOBALIST BILLIONAIRES whose commercial interests lie in keeping the public UNINFORMED and IN THE DARK about the dangers of Islam and globalism!
Wellington says
Good luck with that “free and unbiased press” matter, mortimer. And while I agree with you that “globalist billionaires,” who are as stupid as shit in the moral intelligence, common sense intelligence and historical intelligence areas, are a problem, I reject your view about journalists being “held down” by these rich rubes.
Today’s so-called journalists are first and foremost being “held down” by their own massive historical ignorance and by their decided proclivity to institute societal change rather than just ruthlessly reporting the facts.
James Lincoln says
Very true, Wellington.
The vast majority of today’s so-called “journalists” dish out Leftist propaganda rather than use factual evidence-based logic.
Luckily, there are some rare exceptions – who are then vilified by the lamestream media.
But you knew that already…
Rob Porter says
Canada has a very special talent at producing clueless, un-worldly-wise and horribly ‘wet’ (naive) politicians whose compulsion is to be politically correct. Karina Gould fits the bill to the ‘t’. Last week in the Toronto Sun, Muslim columnist, Tarek Fatah, wrote an amazingly candid column, ‘There is no Islamophobia in Canada’. To his credit it represented a scathing indictment of Islam and Muslims, their goals of imposing themselves and Islam on Canadian society and their disgraceful prayers that belittle and disparage we ‘kafirs’ or ‘kafaars’ – take your pick.
Be assured, Karina Gould did not read that column and if she did she’d almost certainly reject it for not reflecting the current P.C. narrative, which is that poor Muslims are ‘victims’ of naughty ‘Islamophobia’. The multitudinous evidence that long before four Muslims were deliberately mown down by some unbalanced lunatic in London, Ontario, Muslims had been mowing down Israelis and then got to work in Europe where one Muslim in Nice, France mowed down and murdered 86, injured 458, will not be raised by Gould. Neither will the running down and murder a Canadian soldier in Quebec, or the stabbing of two soldiers inside a Toronto recruiting office.

mortimer says
Karina Gould, MP for Burlington, should ask some of her constituents who are REFUGEES FROM ISLAMIC PERSECUTION whether or not Islam is dangerous? Especially, she should ask Sikhs, Christians, Baha’is and Hindus from Pakistan and India whether or not Islam persecutes minorities.
There are MANY THOUSANDS of people in Burlington with horrible experiences of persecution caused by Islam.
Karina Gould is a naïve Pollyanna.
Boycott Turkey says
Taking a stand against islamophobia = hatred and allowing persecution towards Christians Jews Hindus

Canada: MP takes stand against ‘Islamophobia’ and hatred of ‘LGBTQ2+ individuals, families and allies’
………………………
Karina Gould is *very* confused, since Islam teaches its devotees to attack and murder gay people.
Gould also seems unfazed by the idea of Canadian tax payer money going to fund the Jihad against Israel:

Kepha says
It appears that terminal cognitive dissonance infects the whole of the North American continent.
ElderlyZionist says
Orwell called it ‘double-think’; the ability to hold two mutually contradictory ideas and be convinced that both are true. Cognitive dissonance does not occur. In some cases, cognitive dissonance may be suppressed by mind-altering drugs, in other cases by psychosis or by rage.
James Lincoln says
ElderlyZionist,
To your point, from Psychology Today:
“There are a variety of ways people are thought to resolve the sense of dissonance when cognitions don’t seem to fit together. They may include denying or compartmentalizing unwelcome thoughts, seeking to explain away a thought that doesn’t comport with others, or changing what one believes or one’s behavior.”

Sadly common these days. A rejection of reaon and rational thinking does not help.
Giacomo Latta says
”We must be active allies in the promotion of inclusion and belonging.”
If you mean the promotion of being included by muslims and our belonging to Islam, Gould, then you are certainly doing your part, Burlington’s little village idiot.

Karin Gould should try and take her bible or LGBTQ2+ what ever hand book to Saudi Arabia or any of the other islamic regimes and get herself a dose of Islamophobia from the GREAT MUSLIM/ISLAMIC men there.
