- Would we be allowed to
ask who ISIS are inspired by?
- Would they be allowed
to say that the perpetrator was a Muslim?
- Would they be allowed
to say that there is a tradition of violence within the Islamic
religion which has sadly permitted just such actions for a
rather long time. Or would they have to lie?

in London last week, Khalid Masood crashed the vehicle into the fence
surrounding Parliament, and stabbed a police officer to death. (Image

The Canadian
government suffers from many things. Among them is bad timing.
On Thursday
of last week, the Canadian Parliament voted through a blasphemy law
specifically designed to protect Islam. As Al-Jazeera was
happy to report on Friday, the previous day's vote condemned
"Islamophobia and all forms of systemic racism and religious
discrimination." The non-binding motion that the Parliament
passed also requested that a Parliamentary committee should launch a
study to look at how to "develop a whole-of-government approach
to reducing or eliminating systemic racism and religious
discrimination, including Islamophobia". The motion passed by
201 votes to 91.

- The application for
judicial review made by IRFAN and Majid also attempts to
distance themselves from the Muslim Brotherhood. This seems a
bit difficult. Hamas itself was founded as the Palestinian wing
of the Muslim Brotherhood, according to Article Two of the Hamas
Charter.
- This support for Hamas
goes back to at least 1992.
The
International Relief Fund for the Afflicted and Needy (IRFAN) has
been listed as a terrorism entity in Canada since 2014. It was also
identified as a Muslim Brotherhood front group during testimony to
the Canadian Senate along with the Muslim Association of Canada, the
National Council of Canadian Muslims and Islamic Relief Canada.
The listing
as a terrorism entity followed the Canada Revenue Agency's (CRA) 2011
revocation of their charitable status after a multi-year
investigation showed that IRFAN had been funding Hamas, otherwise
known as the Muslim Brotherhood in the Palestinian territories. The
CRA also made it clear that IRFAN was the successor organization to
the Jerusalem Fund for Human Services (JFHS) which had also been
funding Hamas. The CRA also observed that IRFAN was deliberately
constructed to circumvent the Government of Canada so that it could
fund Hamas after the Government of Canada refused to grant the JFHS
charitable status.
