There is no shortage of them:
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's special representative for combating Islamophobia is warning against allowing the Israel-Hamas war to become a catalyst for the stereotyping of Muslim Canadians.
Amira Elghawaby, who was appointed to the new role in January, released a statement this week about the effect the war is having on members of Canada's Muslim communities.
She said people are expressing fear about a "resurgence" in Islamophobia that "has troubling echoes of the past."
What an overpaid, selfish, self-absorbed, bloated, blathering meatsack.
I, too, do not want a "resurgence" of the past, Amira, you unemployable scold:
Beslan. Mumbai. Paris. Manchester. New York City. Nairobi. Luxor. Sulu. Kibbutz Be’eri.
186 children murdered in a school in Beslan. Dozens of children taken hostage from a Catholic school in the Philippines. Two teachers were beheaded, but not the girls. “We do not kill women. We will just enslave them,” the Jihadists promised. 8-year-olds gunned down in the Westgate Mall in Nairobi. The terrorists asked their victims to name Mohammed’s mother to tell apart the non-Muslims from the Muslims. In Luxor, Egypt, the terrorists danced, sang and killed and mutilated the foreign tourists. They “took all the young women, the girls, and disappeared with them. I don’t know where they went with the women, but they hurt them. We could hear screams of pain.” Among the dead was Shaunnah Turner, a 5-year-old British girl.
Pregnant women and children murdered in Israel baffle the world. They seem implausible because each time they happen, we forget. A few days of horror pass and we move on.
When a Muslim terrorist set off a bomb in Manchester at a concert full of children and teens, there was shock and outrage. Nails were pulled out of children’s faces.
“This attack stands out for its appalling, sickening cowardice, deliberately targeting innocent, defenceless children and young people,” then Prime Minister Theresa May fumed.
That was 6 years ago. It might have been an eternity. ...
We’re told not to look at the pattern. It’s Islamophobic. Instead we must take each attack not as a manifestation of Islam, but of local issues or a response to oppression. When Muslims gang raped and sawed in half a Hindu schoolteacher in Kashmir, it was about India’s treatment of Muslims. And when they rampaged through the Bataclan theater in Paris, killing everyone within reach, they were protesting France’s treatment of ISIS. And when they rape a woman at a concert in Israel by the bodies of her murdered friends, they’re protesting for Gaza.
But in 1929, Muslim mobs in the Jewish city of Safed burst into an orphanage and “smashed the children’s heads and cut off their hands.” During the Hebron Massacre that same year, a British policeman described how, “on hearing screams in a room I went up a sort of tunnel passage and saw an Arab in the act of cutting off a child’s head with a sword. He had already hit him and was having another cut, but on seeing me he tried to aim the stroke at me, but missed; he was practically on the muzzle of my rifle. I shot him low in the groin.”
Israel had not even come into existence yet. What were Muslims protesting then: Jews?
During the first siege of Vienna in 1529, when the invading Muslim horde decided that “children were cut out of their mothers’ wombs and stuck on pikes”, was that a protest against colonialism or capitalism? When a Muslim chronicle boasted that during the genocide against the Sikhs in the 18th century, “the shrieks of the women captives who were being raped, deafened the ears of the people”, was this a response to globalism or Zionism? Or was this just Islam.
Everything Hamas did during the bloody High Holy Days massacres has been done by Muslims throughout history and is still being practiced today. There is nothing new here whatsoever. Medieval barbarism never went away because Islam kept those grisly practices alive. It endures side by side with the modern world of smartphones, electric cars and AI because its worst crimes are an object of religious law and faith.
A Yazidi girl abducted by the Islamic State when she was only 12 described how the Jihadist who raped her explained to her that because she “practiced a religion other than Islam, the Quran not only gave him the right to rape her — it condoned and encouraged it”. He “bound her hands and gagged her. Then he knelt beside the bed and prostrated himself in prayer before getting on top of her. When it was over, he knelt to pray again”. The girl begged him to stop, but he “said that by raping me, he is drawing closer to Allah.”
This is Islam.
It’s not about Israel, India, Russia, America, England, France, the Philippines or any of the numerous other countries that have been marked by Islamic terrorism. It’s not about “oppression”, “colonialism”, “settlers”, “cartoons” or a lack of “integration”. None of the excuses ever hold up or explain the pattern that consistently and indelibly marks Islamic violence.
Where are your tears for the non-Muslims, Amira?
When will you cry for the people your co-religionists murder and who - when they fight back - are begged to stand back?
In a just world, Amira, you would be begging on the streets for food instead of being paid to be a self-pitying, braying bag of rancid pig filth.

The Canadian Anti-Hate Network is only paid to find fault in Justin's enemies:
The Canadian Anti-Hate Network (CAHN) — a perennial recipient of federal “anti-racism” monies — has not issued a single statement or social media post in the wake of the Oct. 7 attacks against Israel, even when those attacks sparked celebratory rallies across Canada’s major cities.By contrast, the group issued five statements over five weeks regarding the 1 Million March 4 Children, a protest that called for the removal of “gender identity” instruction from school curricula.And in early 2022, the Canadian Anti-Hate Network also issued a flurry of statements condemning the anti-mandate Freedom Convoy protests as a nest of far-right racism and anti-Semitism.It was the CAHN that almost exclusively fuelled media reports at the time that Freedom Convoy was a close ally of Diagolon, an alt-right group that it cited as a national security threat. RCMP reports recently published by researchers Caryma Sa’d and Elisa Hategab found that the Mounties themselves never gave these threats much credence.“Due to the fact that all information traces back to one source (CAHN), triangulation and the verification of facts is almost impossible at the current time,” the RCMP wrote in its profile of Diagolon.

"Get off of our backs about covering for Hamas!" cries the publicly-funded CBC:
While CBC has been inundated with hundreds of complaints for refusing to use the word “terrorist” when referring to Hamas fighters in its coverage of the Israel-Hamas war, Brodie Fenlon, the editor-in-chief of CBC News, says now is not the time to revisit that policy. ...
(Sidebar: when would be a good time? When Israel is out of the news cycle?)
Not that anyone needs the CBC to define who or what Hamas is but it would be refreshing to hear something that is clearly apparent.

After being caught plugging for Hamas, MPP Sarah Jama recoils at Ontario Premier Doug Ford's assertions that she is an anti-semite:
Hamilton MPP Sarah Jama is threatening to sue Premier Doug Ford for accusing her of antisemitism over comments she made in support of Palestinians.
Jama's office served the cease and desist letter to Ford on Thursday, said a statement from her lawyer Stephen Ellis and the Legal Centre for Palestine. The letter says if Ford does not remove his social media post, and publicly apologize, Jama will pursue legal action for defamation.
"Ms. Jama maintains the post was reckless and malicious," the statement said. "Ms. Jama will not tolerate Premier Ford's attempts to tarnish her reputation in such a public manner."
NDP leader Marit Stiles responded to Jama providing legal notice to Ford, stating in an email "the premier made inflammatory accusations against MPP Jama." She declined to comment further as it is a legal matter.
"Though I would call out this government for repeatedly and cynically fanning the flames of division during such a painful time," she added.
Did you or did you not accuse Israel of apartheid, Sarah?
Oh, yes you did:
