Foreign Affairs committee  To begin with, the New Democrat members of Parliament who are Muslim share the same views as I do. They are members of Parliament primarily as politicians not because they're Muslim.

Foreign Affairs committee  We just ended up over here. I didn't come to Canada to be a Muslim. I came from Saudi Arabia to get away from the atrocities over there. So I have deep respect for not only the women but the gentleman, my namesake in your caucus, who is also.... They have a French background. They have a North African background.

Foreign Affairs committee  But they don't talk to us.

Foreign Affairs committee  No, I didn't say that. Don't put words in my mouth.

Foreign Affairs committee  To the people you call Islamophobes every day, to the people you insult as Muslims, like him and me, that you declare to be right-wing lunatics, Islamophobes, and neo-conservatives—

Foreign Affairs committee  Mr. Dewar, just a second.

Foreign Affairs committee  You asked a provocative question. I need to answer it, sir.

Foreign Affairs committee  No, you didn't.

Foreign Affairs committee  Forget the record. You accused us. The New Democrats accuse anyone who opposes imams, mullahs, and Islamists as right-wing, neo-conservative Islamophobes. There is a reason why you would employ Islamists in your office. There's a reason why people in your office—

Foreign Affairs committee  I understand.

Foreign Affairs committee  I would say no. I know Turkey. I am a student of Turkish history, and I can tell you that there are two Turkeys, but Professor Mansur would be better qualified to shed light on that.

Foreign Affairs committee  Islam doesn't require them to do hajj. It's very simple. If you can't afford it you don't do hajj. The money comes from Saudi Arabia. Part of it pays for the tickets and part of it is left over for administration. It's those administrative costs and the money laundering that takes place every Friday in the bags and the sacks that are carried on.

Foreign Affairs committee  Well, Turkey was a member of NATO when NATO needed troops to send to Korea. It had a surviving army after the Second World War because it didn't take part in it. Turkey was essential to guarding the southern flanks of the Soviet Union. Today Turkey is the leading force behind Islamism, both funding it, giving it refuge, and treating its ISIS soldiers over there.

Foreign Affairs committee  Let me give you my impression of the Canadian Muslim mosaic. Our best estimate, as to who is saying what, comes from the survey done just after the Toronto 18 terror trial, in which 12% of Muslim Canadians thought the Toronto 18 were justified in the terrorist action they had planned.

Foreign Affairs committee  I would suggest to you that it is one of the major mistakes made by the current administration in authorizing what is called “de-radicalization” which, in fact, is radicalization. We have an incident where someone working very closely with the RCMP took it upon himself to go to Qatar, meet with the leadership of the Taliban and then come back over here and pose with the single-finger salute, on camera, including the mother of the dead jihadi who converted to Islam and died in Syria.
