Government implementing Trudeau’s directive to “separate Muslims from terrorism”
Since assuming office in November 2015, Canada’s Minister of
Foreign Affairs, Stéphane Dion has issued six statements condemning
terrorist attacks carried out by the two major global Islamic terrorist
organizations – the Islamic State (IS, ISIS, ISIL, Caliphate) and
al-Qaeda. In all 6 statements the word “Islamic” is absent, the Islamic
motivation is not mentioned nor the name of the organizations that
claimed responsibility for the attacks.
A year before the federal elections, Justin Trudeau conveyed a clear message about his intention as a future Prime Minister to avoid relating Islam to terrorism.
In an interview (November 12, 2014) to Alameen Post magazine, based in Surrey, BC Trudeau addressing the local Muslim community, was quoted as saying the following:
“In reference to the Ottawa shooting and statements given by the other two political leaders, especially when it comes to Canadian Muslims, he feels that they could have done a better job. He feels that in light of the 9/11 incidents and lessons learned from it, that any time such an incident does occur there has to be strong message needed to be sent to separate the muslims from the terrorist…”
