Sharia law is advancing in Canada at national, provincial and local levels.
The provincial governments of Canada for years have tacitly recognized Sharia law for Canada's Muslim minority by sending multiple welfare checks to polygamous Muslim men who raise multiple families in Canada.
In 2003, Muslims in Ontario attempted to make the provincial government set aside its laws and have only the Sharia law apply to Muslims. After a fierce debate, the Premier of Ontario eventually stepped in and pushed back against Sharia, at least for then.
Efforts by Canadian Muslims to push for Sharia law at the municipal level have met more immediate success. Above is the scene at Valley Park Middle School, a public school in Toronto, Ontario in 2008 - a decade after Mark Harding took a stand against it.
Instead of just a classroom, the cafeteria becomes a mosque on Friday afternoons so that Muslim students can listen to an imam from a nearby mosque, read the Quran and pray towards Mecca. In the photo, the boys are praying in front of the girls, who are praying in front of the menstruating girls, who are forbidden to pray. The same scene is repeated at an increasing number of public schools across Canada today and many of their cafeterias only serve Halal food that has been sacrificed to Allah, the moon god.
It should be noted that public schools in Canada provide neither facilities for the Christian students to gather and worship nor kosher food for the Jewish students.
In 2008, the municipal government of Edmonton in the province of Alberta became the first in the nation to deny men access to its public swimming pools during certain hours of the week after Muslim women demanded to swim without men around, in accordance with the Shariah law.
In 2011, the municipal government of Huntingdon in the province of Quebec built a mosque, a Halal slaughterhouse and offered a 1-year property tax moratorium to attract Muslim residents.
In a 2011 survey, 62% of the Muslims in Ottawa, the Canadian capital, expressed a desire to live under some form of Sharia law. The percentage is high, especially given the respondents' option to engage in Taqiyya.
In 2015, Justin Trudeau (right) became Prime Minister and sharply increased the number of Muslim refugees being accepted as immigrants. At a press conference on August 26, 2016, Trudeau expressed his desire to identify himself with Islam, which he declared more peaceful than Christianity (see Religion of Peace):
"After meeting thousands of new Syrian refugees, listening to their stories and learning more about the Muslim faith, I have learned to love Islam and the people of Islam. Islam promotes peace, not violence and is in fact more peaceful than Christianity. I feel like this is the religion I belong with and I should identify as."
Over the next 18 years, Canada's Muslim population is projected to more than triple, but the political tide is already turning in their favor. In January of 2017, Trudeau appointed Ahmed Hussen, a Muslim, as his Minister of Immigration. In February of 2017, the Canadian Parliament considered two competing motions on religious discrimination.
One, tabled by David Anderson, a Christian Member from Saskatchewan, proposed to: "condemn all forms of systemic racism, religious intolerance, and discrimination of Muslims, Jews, Christians, Sikhs, Hindus, and other religious communities."
The other, tabled by Iqra Khalid, a Muslim Member from Ontario, named "Islamophobia" and swept discrimination against Christians and others into a broad generalization. Her proposal, known as "Motion 103" or "M-103," stated that the government should: condemn Islamophobia and all forms of systemic racism and religious discrimination."
In March of 2017, the Canadian Parliament defeated David Anderson's motion by 165-126 and passed Iqra Khalid's "Motion 103" by a landslide 201-91; the government of this nation now officially condemns anyone who exposes the Taqiyya of Islamophobia.
