- Islamists,
including Majzoub, have a long history of dragging prominent people
and organizations into their arguments about extremism, terrorism
and radicalization. These Islamists do not use their influence to
drain the resources of Islamic terrorism in Canada and elsewhere,
nor do they seek to stop young Canadians from joining ISIS. They do
not use their knowledge or money to dismantle the infrastructure of
extremism, nor do they attempt to dismantle the historical and
religious arguments in favor of terrorism. Rather than do any of
this, they instead make it their priority to intimidate, harass or
sue those who speak out against Islamist extremism and its
accompanying terrorism.
- The prevailing
religious interpretation of groups such as the Muslim Brotherhood
and its adherents is that anyone who objects to their interpretation
of Islam is to be considered a disbeliever. Because of their
disbelief, they deserve to be killed in the present life and should
then suffer the punishment of Allah in the next life. If killing
them in this life is not an option, then spreading hate and anger
against them is acceptable.
- The other main
problem the Parliamentary action against "Islamophobia" is
that it gives the false impression that groups such as the Canadian
Muslim Forum or the Muslim Brotherhood can speak for Muslims. In
fact, they do not. In the UK, it was recently revealed that only
about 2% of UK Muslims feel that the Muslim Council of Britain
represents them.
- It is not just
that they have extremist literature in Canadian schools and mosques,
it is that in some instances they have nothing but extremist
literature. The Ottawa Public Library, for instance, has nothing but
extremist literature in its Arabic language collection.
- The first
victims of this will be secular and modernist Muslims who oppose
extremism -- and their families.
Samir Majzoub (left), the Islamist president of the
Canadian Muslim Forum, was the person behind the recent Canadian
Parliamentary petition against "Islamophobia." Both Majzoub and
the Canadian Muslim Forum have a long list of dubious connections to
Islamist groups and the foreign money used to support them. This includes
the Muslim Brotherhood. (Image sources - Majzoub: Canadian Muslim Forum

Islamist front groups in Canada and the West have dragged the media
and the political "elites" into their extremist messaging.
Rather than learning about why extremism and terrorism come out of their
religion, Islamists instead concentrate on preventing the victims of
their violence from speaking out. They do this by shouting
"Islamophobia" at every opportunity, and do so most loudly at
modernist or secular Muslims.
The Parliament of Canada, for example, passed an
"anti-Islamophobia" motion on October 26, 2016. Samer Majzoub,
the president of the Canadian Muslim Forum, was the person behind the
Parliamentary petition against "Islamophobia"; it generated
some 70,000 signatures. The sponsor of the motion in the House of Commons
was MP Frank Baylis.
Both Majzoub and the Canadian Muslim Forum have a rather long list
of dubious connections to Islamist groups and the foreign money used to
support them. This includes the Muslim Brotherhood.

- "We will
have a new ballistic missile test in the near future that will be a
thorn in the eyes of our enemies." – Iranian President Hassan
Rouhani.
- The range of
existing Iranian ballistic missiles has grown from 500 miles to over
1,250 miles (roughly 2,000 kilometers), which can easily reach
Eastern Europe, as well as countries such as Israel.
- In addition,
Iranian Defense Minister Brig. Gen. Hossein Dehqan said that there would
be no limit for the range and amount of missiles that Iran will
develop.
The nuclear agreement, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of
Action Agreement (JCPOA) -- effective, as of October 18, 2015, according
to the State Department - clearly and distinctly stipulates that Iran
should not undertake any ballistic missile activity "until the date
eight years after the JCPOA Adoption Day or until the date on which the
IAEA submits a report confirming the Broader Conclusion, whichever is
earlier."
Not only is Iran avoiding honoring this stipulation, but also Iran's
ballistic missile operations have significantly ratcheted up. More
importantly, there has been no criticism at all from the Obama
administration or other involved parties regarding this critical
violation.
As cited by Iran's state-owned Fars News Agency, Brig. Gen. Amir Ali
Hajizadeh, Iran's commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps
(IRGC) Aerospace Force, said in Tehran on Dec 6, 2016:
