Thank you very much, Chair.
To be clear, any hatred, discrimination, persecution, or violence against Muslims is absolutely wrong. It should be dealt with to the full extent of the law. To be clear, we are also the ones who have a problem with the term "Islamophobia", however not [Inaudible--Editor].
Mr. Gardee, you mentioned that you felt that the meaning was quite clear in the Muslim community, but we've had testimony before from people within the Muslim community who had very deep concerns about the term “Islamophopia”. And today, Ms. Zine introduced a seventh definition of Islamophobia to us.
My concern is that, when it comes to hatred, persecution, and discrimination, clarity really needs to happen. Ms. Zine also mentioned that demonization of Islam would be something that should be criminalized. I'm wondering where the criticism of Islam moves into demonization. Secondly, are you in agreement with the definition of the Toronto District School Board's definition of Islamophobia?
