Publications in Canada that promote hatred
towards non-Muslims
by staff

In our last article, we spoke
about inflammatory information being offered on the Islamic Circle of North
America (ICNA) (Canada) website. We will expand on that in this article.
Ontario NDP Leader Andrea Horwath has recently called on the the
provincial government to create an anti-racism secretariat to deal with
the expressions of racism and systemic discrimination in the Canadian
society. Toronto Star reported
that her message was delivered in a news conference with a Muslim activist who
said she is now “wary given rising anti-Islam sentiment”.
Jennifer Beaudry, spokeswoman of Ontario provincial government,
said to The Star that
“We do not tolerate racism or marginalization of any kind.”
MP Iqra Khalid brought forward the motion M103 to combat
Islamophobia among other things concerning discrimination. The 2018 budget
in Ottawa has made provisions concerning recommendations brought forward by a
committee formed to study Ms. Khalid’s motion.
The Trudeau federal government portray the Muslim
community as an increasingly major victim of hate speech and
racism, but
ignoring the increasing number of possible hate speech incidents by members and
entities of the Muslim community.

Supplication on ICNA Canada syllabus: “give us victory over the
disbelieving people”
ICNA (Islamic Circle of North America) Canada is an Islamic
national-wide organization striving “to
build an Exemplary Canadian Muslim Community” by “total submission to Him
[Allah] and through the propagation of true and universal message of Islam.”
On its official website ICNA Canada shares with
its members, followers and supporters a Syllabus that provides selected
verses of the Quran and hadiths (traditions containing sayings of Mohammad the
prophet of Islam that constitute the major source of guidance).
One particular syllabus contains
the following supplication in both Arabic and English:
“Our Lord! Punish us not if we forget or fall into error, our
Lord! Lay not on us a burden like that which You did lay on those before us
(Jews and Christians); our Lord! Put not on us a burden greater than we have
strength to bear. Pardon us and grant us Forgiveness. Have mercy on us. You are
our Maulâ (Patron, Supporter and Protector, etc.) and give
us victory over the disbelieving people.”
A set of instructions are accompanied to the supplication as
follows:
“Instructions:
“1. Memorization should include both Arabic script as well as
English
translation.
“2. Study should include in‐depth understanding from
other Ayats, Ahadith and
other literature. ICNA‐Chapter can help in this by having dedicated study
circles on these lines.
“3. Study should include all aspects; including knowledge,
understanding and
practice in real life.
“4. We all should share these topics among our families as
well.”
ISLAMIC BOOTH, TORONTO
Not only can instructions such as these be found on-line, but
similar books are distributed at the Islamic booth, Dundas Square, Toronto.
Free Islamic book at Dundas Square: “give us victory over the
disbelieving people”
Dawah activists at Dundas Square have handed out for free the
booklet “24 Hours With The Prophet,” which introduces the daily prayers for
Muslims.
The book’s publisher is the Pakistani Islamic Communication
Trust and it was distributed by the Walk-In Islamic InfoCenter located at 21
Dundas Square #910 (www.collectfreequran.org).
In some of the supplications dealing with the “Kafiroun,” the
disbelievers or infidels, Muslims are ordained to ask to Allah to help them
overcome and defeat their enemies who are identified as the disbelieving
people.
The book also explains that “Islam is not only a religion, but a complete way of
life” and that it is obligatory upon Muslim to spread Islam by
inviting the disbelievers to embrace in Islam.
The following are excerpts from the book:

The Witr (Night Prayer)
“… O Allah, we seek your help and request Your forgiveness and
believe and trust in You and we praise You in the best manner and we thank You
and we are not ungrateful to You, we
also abandon and reject anyone who disobeys You.
“O Allah, we worship nothing but You, and we perform prayers for
You, we Prostrate to You, and we hope for Your mercy and we fear Your
punishment. Your punishment. Your
punishment surely overtakes the disbelievers.”

Lord! Lay no us a burden like that which You laid on those before us. Our Lord!

grant us forgiveness. Have mercy on us. You are our Protector, and give
us victory over the disbelieving people.”
[2:286]
