"Calgary was one of six Canadian cities to endorse a charter Monday vowing to eliminate anti-Muslim hate crimes, as community leaders expressed concern about a rise in the number of Islamophobic hate crimes.
"It's a step to first acknowledge that this is a challenge and this is a real issue, said Hida Fadol of the National Council of Canadian Muslims, a civil liberties group.
"We can't even address the problem if we don't acknowledge it exists," Fadol added."
"Other cities signing the charter include Vancouver, Montreal, Toronto, Windsor and London. Leaders from the six cities held simultaneous news conferences on Monday."
To be clear I don't support any sort of misplaced vigilantism against Muslims. But, what does this this charter/move REALLY mean? Particularly when the vague term "Islamophobia" is used?
Further, every Muslim needs to be challenged about what their "faith" really is. And how is the Islamic communrity combatting the oppression that ALL of their homelands are overcome with as a direct result of Islam?
God forbid we pretend Islam is a normal religion and not the cult that it truly is. God forbid we sacrifice freedom of speech due to a squelching "charter" whatever it may be.
God help us.
