Muslim women under attack in Canada! OMG

Amira Elghawaby

Ottawa, Ontario--Three Muslim women were allegedly attacked with words while wearing a headscarf; one incident occurred at a polling station where Canadians will vote on issues that include the Muslim headscarf. 

Staff Sergeant David Zackrias, head of the diversity and race relations section told CBC News that Muslim leaders in the Islamic community told the police about their concerns. Zackrias emailed Muslim groups to encourage those people of the Muslim race who are being assaulted with these words to tell the police.

If the perpetrators of these words are caught, heads will roll.

"We're ensuring that these types of incidents are reported so we have a clear picture of what's happening and if there is a crime committed, we need to investigate those incidents," Zackrias said. "If people are feeling intimidated and threatened, they should be reporting those incidents to police."

One can only imagine the number of sports teams who will now be turning in their coaches, and kids their parents after that statement.

In one incident, a woman was told to return to her country of origin as she was voting for Justin Trudeau, a liberal riding on his father's coattails and who has lately been seen praying at a mosque in Montreal known for teaching terrorists the ways of the Koran.

Amira Elghawaby a member of the National Council of Canadian Muslims (aka CAIR-CAN), based in Ottawa, and a group that tracks anti-Muslim attacks (as opposed to anti-Semitic attacks) reported an incident in which a Muslim woman was called a terrorist by a pedestrian (who only Muslims could see, apparently) in the busy downtown section of Ottawa.

When you work for an organization whose purpose is to find something, lest you lose a reason to exist, that organization will find something.

A visibly Muslim woman

"The women are visibly Muslim," Elghawaby said. "They wear the headscarf and so certainly there's a lot of concern in the communities right now about a sense of safety. It's important to track what's going on." [As I said, lest they lose their reason to exist.]

In Islamic countries, women must wear the headscarf or suffer brutal consequences--sometimes paying with their life. But Muslims like Elghawaby don't talk about that problem because she is a follower of the Koran which demands that women wear headscarfs--wait--no it doesn't. 

Zahra Eshraghi, the granddaughter of Ayatollah Khomeini, claimed that under Islamic law, "a woman is there to fill her husband's stomach and raise children." A few weeks after making that statement, Barack Hussein Obama defended the right of women in non-Muslim (read 'modern') countries to cover their heads, while brave Iranian women were throwing off their headscarfs (known as hijabs) as a protest against the Iranian regime. 

Obama remained silent.

But the issue isn't whether Muslim women should or shouldn't wear a hijab in the first place. It's whether, in fact, they have actually been verbally harassed like they claim they have. 

We know the Jews have been harassed throughout the world and for centuries. Some of this may be the result of the Qur'an that tells Muslims the Jews are their worst enemies (cf. Qur'an 5:82). We have clear proof of those incidents.

However, no infidel has come forward in the above cases to say that these women have been harassed. Maybe they have, but historically, Muslims have made themselves to be the victims to justify their "retaliation." (See Palestine v Israel, Charlie Hebdo and the holy Koran.)

In an article in Jihad Watch, the hijab is seen as a weapon of Islamization in Iran. Women had no choice once the Ayatollah came to power. The article has an incredible video addressing the hijab in Iran and how the theocratic government has taken over people's rights.

But clearly, it is not an actual requirement of Islam to wear the headscarf. And if the government, (in this case the Canadian government) believes that it interferes with showing one's identity, there is no religious reason to wear it when identification of the individual is required, (e.g., driver's license photo, bank business, voting).

Muslims quickly use the terms "Islamophobia" or "racist." Both terms have come to meld into the latter. Nobody wants to be seen as a racist so the labeling of people with opinions about Islam has been somewhat curtailed. However, there are still some of us who will continue to voice concerns.

Western governments have been bending over backwards to accomodate the demands made by Islamic organizations like the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). 

Where's Walid?

CAIR, which claims itself to be an organization that simply advocates for Muslims in North America, is actually an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation trial that connected it to the Muslim Brotherhood, which, in turn, funded the 911 attack back in 2001. Obama has them over for tea and crumpets.

Zunera Ishaq, a Muslim woman, won a court battle and was allowed to wear a niqab ( a veil that covers her entire face except the eyes) while taking the citizenship oath in Canada. What are we becoming in the West?

"Some people feel that [the increase in anti-Muslim incidents] may be linked to the anti-Muslim rhetoric that has been very present in the current election and so we're really encouraging people to report any kind of hate incident, hate crime, so that we can respond as communities to that," Elghawaby said.

The Ottawa Citizen discusses the National Council of Canadian Muslims and how it attacks those of us who express our views.  For example, they had threatened to sue Jason MacDonald, a spokesman for Prime Minister Stephen Harper, when he suggested they had ties to Hamas. But this is just one of many threats they've made.

Hopefully, Harper will win again in this coming election. He is the only person running who supports our allies and is critical of our enemies.
