Canadian Heritage committee  —hatred against Muslims compared to the United Kingdom and the United States: Canada is the only country where Muslims took up the fight against sharia law in 2005. We said we would oppose it. We fulfilled the appetite of people saying Muslims are good people and they stand up for Canadian values.

Canadian Heritage committee  Well, it's impossible, because the moment you start to speak the truth, you will be called a racist. It's a dead end. You have to admit that a vast majority of this population are simply terrified at addressing any issue.

Canadian Heritage committee  You address issues of bigotry against Muslims or Jews or Hindus or the aboriginal. You embrace the ideas of W.E.B. Du Bois in fighting racism. You cannot apply that to ideas and say that because there is bigotry toward Muslims, and I have witnessed that, and even now bar anyone from discussing the ideology that created hatred toward it.

Canadian Heritage committee  Pardon? Yes. Your recommendations should recognize the right of a Muslim to publicly challenge what is rotten in Islamdom and to fight authority in the tradition of Martin Luther and Erasmus and before them, like the 10th century Persian Muslim saint, Mansur Al-Hallaj who was beheaded in Baghdad on charges of Islamophobia by mullahs of that time.

Canadian Heritage committee  Good afternoon, Madam Chair, members of Parliament, ladies and gentlemen. I'd like to talk about the issues facing us in the context of what is happening today and yesterday with regard to a Canadian city and a Canadian victim of terrorism and Islamophobia. Yesterday at the United Nations, a Canadian refugee, Ensaf Haidar, whose husband has been imprisoned in Saudi Arabia on charges of Islamophobia and punished with 10 years in prison and a thousand lashes, spoke out at the UNHCR.

Foreign Affairs committee  Why would anyone be reluctant to apply the law to charitable institutions that are not permitted to be political parties?

Foreign Affairs committee  No, no, no. I'm just talking of criminal activity and the violation of the charitable act. The abysmal cowardice of members of Parliament in urban centres who are looking for vote banks is such that they will look the other way just to get re-elected. Just to get re-elected, they would not ever dare to come back to the caucus and say, “That's a charitable institution and it's spreading hate.

Foreign Affairs committee  To begin with, jihad has nothing to do with Islam. It's a post-Muhammad law. In fact, I would go to the extent to say that the enemies of the prophet Muhammad, who formed the Umayyad dynasty, are primarily responsible. The same people who slaughtered his family are primarily responsible for crafting sharia law that is today being held by Canadian imams as sacrosanct.
