M-103 is a modern day blasphemy law, and “all Canadians should be worried”
Barbara KayRebel Contributor
Jews are far more likely to be victims of hate crimes in Canada
than Muslims. But a motion called M-103 is coming before Parliament on
February 16 to urge special consideration regarding “Islamophobia”
without defining the word.
M-103 could lead to curtailments of freedom of speech deemed hateful towards Muslims, but also, critically, towards Islam itself. Blasphemy laws conceived according to Shariah law have been adopted in a number of western countries.
It could happen here.
If it does, many of my columns could be construed as Islamophobic and subject to penalties.
I’m worried.
All Canadians should be worried.
