The University of Toronto inflicts a demented form of education on students at OISE
The blog Socialist Studies uncovered the new Calendar at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE).
OISE is a neo-Marxist cesspool that does its utmost do indoctrinate its students to absorb its anti-capitalist, moral relativist propaganda. Worse still, it tries to push that indoctrination to children at the elementary school level and even younger.
This is the school that was, until recently, the home of Professor Ben Levin, the former Deputy Education Minister responsible for trying to introduce a highly sexualized curriculum for young children that was held back by former Premier Dalton McGuinty, In what many view as not entirely coincidental to the curriculum he attempted to forward, Levin was arrested recently on charges of producing and distributing child pornography.
But even worse obscenities are part of daily life at OISE. The new OISE calendar promotes Communist totalitarians and deranged, violent activist groups like the Ontario Coalition Against Poverty, a group that advocates for class warfare and has instigated riots.
OISE's new Chair of its "Social Justice Education" Department is a polemical Communist promoter of lunatic conspiracy theories by the name of Abigail Bakan. More information about her is available HERE and HERE.

More bullshit from Liberal Party apparatchik who tried to incite the murder of Israeli Jews
Liberal Party apparatchik and former Palestine House President Eliaz Hazineh is in a bit of hot water following his public call for the murder of Israeli Jews last week.
So, in the tradition of the contemporary Liberal Party, he's is predictably trying to squirm his way out trouble by lying.
According to the Toronto Star, Hazineh claims his words were taken out of context.
I was at his speech and the context was clear and explicit; he wants all Jews out of Israel, including the pre-1967 borders, or he wants them to be killed. There is no other logical way of interpreting "we have been negotiating with them for 65 years. We say, ‘Get out or you are dead.’ We give them two minutes and then we start shooting, and that’s the only way they’ll understand.”
Sixtty-five years ago was 1948, the year the modern State of Israel came into existence. The initial round of negotiations to which Hazineh referred was the attack of the armies of Arab nations that tried to "drive the Jews into the sea." Though unsuccessful in that and subsequent attempts, that dream has not gone away for Hazineh and the other al Quds fanatics who dream of the death of every Jew in Israel.
"From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" is the chant they routinely wail at such protests.
A slogan repeated by the genocidal maniac Hassan Nassrallah last week, the flags of whose terror organization, Hezbollah, were held high by Toronto al Quds demonstrators while Elias Hazineh delivered a similar message.
Israel is the freest country in the Middle East, the only one with equal rights for women and gays and where no one is persecuted for their religious beliefs.
So when they say "free" what they mean is "free of Jews."
Hazineh was a close consort and employee of the former long-time Liberal MP Carolyn Parrish. He was the president of a Palestine advocacy organization called Palestine House that lost its federal funding because of its support for extremism. That organization proclaimed how unfair then Citizenship Minister Jason Kenney was in depriving them of funds. Hazineh, whose rhetoric is typical of that inside the doors of Palestine House, showed them for what they are; murderous-minded fanatics.
The man who tried to incite the murder of Israel Jews is also close with one of Justin Trudeau's advisers. The same Justin Trudeau who thinks that Canada should engage more with the genocidal mullahs in Iran. The same Justin Trudeau whose senior policy adviser, his brother, partnered with that murderous regime to make a propaganda film.
While Hazineh is an obviously despicable individual, what is of more concern is how people like him will be influencing public policy if Justin Trudeau should ever reach a position of power.

Canadian Islamic leader Zafar Bangash's anti-Western, anti-African American, anti-Semitic hatemongering
A Khomeinist hatemonger residing in Canada named Zafar Bangash publishes an Islamist magazine called Crescent International.
He is also one of the prime movers behind the depraved al Quds Day demonstrations at Queen's Park in Toronto.
Bangash is the racist Imam of the Islamic Society of York Region who referred to Barack Obama as "that black man in the White House" and "the perfect Uncle Tom."
His magazine's new cover has Egypt's new leaders portrayed as the tools of a Jewish/American conspiracy.

A quick note on the genocidal Khomeinist al Quds hatefest in Toronto
Something that has been casually noted, but really should be highlighted about the al Quds Day hatefest is the murderous intent of eliminating Israeli Jews that took front-and-center stage at the rally.
The lies and hypocrisy of the followers of Iran`s depraved dictator, the deceased Ayatollah Khomeni, are evident. With one breath they say they want peace and equality for all, and with the next proclaim how they will start shooting and killing Jews if they do not up and leave `Palestine.`
"Palestine" is not merely the West Bank and Gaza to those people. They also view all of pre-1967 Israel as Palestine. The most notorious speaker from the rogue's gallery of fanatics, imbeciles and hatemongers who took to the microphone at the Queen's Park al Quds demonstration was Elias Hazineh, the former Palestine House President. His pronouncement that Israelis should be given a two minute warning to leave or be shot has made international headlines since his speech on Saturday.
What was less noticed was his declaration that "We've (Palestinians) been negotiating with them for sixty-five years!"
Sixty five years ago was the year 1948, the year of the State of Israel's birth. It is to that nation and the Jews within it to which Hazineh referred when he continued, "we say 'get out or you're dead!'"
This is the face and the words of the murderous Khomeinists, joined by useful idiots from groups like the so-called Canadian Peace Alliance and the inbred cult of apocalyptic, anti-Zionist Jews, Neutrei Karta.
Their bile and stupidity makes them self-discrediting. But forgetting to shine a light on their evil wil only let it grow, and in that regard, Canada`s mainstream news organizations, with the exception of Sun News, have displayed their own shameful negligence.

Toronto's al Quds Day demonstration makes the case for immigration reform
A large, dark, toxic slug snaked its way along a few blocks of Toronto's University Avenue yesterday afternoon. It had six hundred or so moving parts, each one steaming with hateful bile. It was the annual Al Quds Day march from Queens Park to the American consulate.
| Toronto al Quds support for terrorism |
Brandishing the flag of the genocidal terror group Hezbollah, while bellowing "Down with U.S.A." and "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free" the display seemed better suited to the streets of Tehran than the quiet, dignified edifices of Toronto's hospital district. Indeed it was from Tehran where the insidious virus came. Al Quds Day is a creation of the deceased pedophile, Ayatollah Khomeini who intended it to rally Muslims around the world to the cause of the destruction of Israel. The throng of demonstrators in Toronto were, with the exception of a tiny handful of their useful idiot acolytes, all devout followers of that murderous, depraved Iranian dictator.
| The "sisters" had to be kept a respectable distance from the "brothers" |
The march, plunging through the midday August heat, was divided into two sections. Led by the head-to-toe covered women's, or "sisters" section, they were followed by the dingy, Autumn-colored sweater-wearing "brothers" with enough of a spacing so that modesty would be protected from their hyperactive sexual turgidity,
The attendees and the signs they bore were identical to Toronto's al Quds Day demonstrations of the last three years, though this year's numbers were fewer, in part due to Ontario's Sergeant-at-Arms cancelling the Khomeinists' permit to assemble on the lawn of the legislature. So instead they chose to gather in the treed park behind Ontario's Parliament.
| Useful idiot Ken Stone compares Kathleen Wynne to Hitler |
Though slightly muted from previous years' fiercer invective, there were still speakers who tried to incite the murder of Jews, including one who proclaimed "we will give them two minutes and then we'll start shooting!" One of the useful idiots, a paranoid shill for Iran named Ken Stone, compared Ontario's Premier Kathleen Wynne to Adolf Hitler because of the cancellation of the Queen's Park permit over security concerns. In the mind of the bizarre Munchausen Jew Mr. Stone, saying the exact same words in a public space approximately 60 yards away from where they had originally intended is evidently the imposition of some sort of fascist regime.
Ironically, the same Mr. Stone is a proponent of the most brutal, fascist regime on earth, the one in Iran which routinely rapes, murders, and tortures prisoners, and persecutes religious minorities.
Some of the speakers dissembled about wanting a one state solution with equal rights for all. The part they often leave out was the part that rally organizer Zafar Bangash has previously proclaimed, that such "equal rights" would be under Islamic Sharia law. As proponents of the Iranian dictatorship, the equality these people have in mind is the equal right for women to be raped by their prison guards as a matter of policy, the equal right of women to be publicly beaten for wearing "immodest clothing, " the equal right of women to be stoned for committing adultery, the equal right to be beheaded for blaspheming against Islam's founder Mohammed, and the equal right, shared by Baha'i in Iran, to be viciously persecuted for their religious beliefs that conflict with traditional Islamic practice.
The al Quds demonstrators are not typical of Canadian Muslims. It is from such people at the al Quds Day demo, and the regimes they represent, that most Muslims in Canada came to escape.
But due to a failing in our immigration system that clearly needs to be rectified, we have allowed these murderous fanatics to live among us. Here, in the safety of Canada, they try to find a way to incubate and spread their vile hatred of our society, which they have come to simultaneously denounce, undermine and exploit.
| The spectre of Khomeini hangs over the Toronto al Quds demo via Sanwin |
These Khomeinists are the people who have brought the despicable ideologies which teach bigotry in their schools. The product of such horrific indoctrination was in full display yesterday as a young boy was trotted out to speak. Nursed on the malice and prejudice that are articles of faith for Islamists, he displayed the result that comes from being reared by hatemongers.
He passionately recited biases with which he has been conditioned from birth.
| "Death to Sun News!" |
It is critical that people see this. The fatuous, politically-correct mainstream media, feeling that exposing the truth would inflame prejudice, become complicit with hatemongers by selectively ignoring their invective and trying to portray them in a favorable light. That is why the Khomeinists demonstrate such hate for Canada's Sun News. Because alone among major media, they reveal the Islamist fascists for who they are.
Muslim academics like Salim Mansur have tried to sound the alarm bells of what happens when we are not more careful about scrutinizing immigrants. Toronto's al Quds Day demonstration is living proof that he is right. Instead of giving people who seek freedom a refuge, Canada's irresponsible lack of diligence in its immigration policies has permitted the hate Muslim refugees sought to escape to follow them and take root in the heart of our land.

While collaborating with Holocaust deniers who persecute Gays, Queers Against Israeli Apartheid wants your tax dollars
The term "pinkwashing" as applied to Israel by the radical, anti-capitalist activists of Queers Against Israeli Apartheid presupposes that Gay influence and power is so momentous that a democratic nation would alter its legal and social dynamic just to mollify it.
For a Gay person to maintain that idea, they would have to be narcissistic to the point of being delusional.
One may as well claim that Canadian laws which recognize Gay marriage and prevent discrimination against Gay people is part of a grand design to deflect charges that Canada is an "apartheid country" that practices genocide against its native population.
That suggestion is so absurd it sounds like an attempt at parody.
But that delusional narcissism informs the lie that the vapid hatemongers of Queers Against Israeli Apartheid are trying to sell.
And what makes the lie all the more hypocritical and shameful is that Queers Against Israeli Apartheid tries to maintain a pretence of being a human rights group when they are nothing more than vicious hatemongers. Of course that is nothing new. The neo-Nazi Ernst Zundel also claims to be a `human rights activist,`` so in that vein, Queers Against Israeli Apartheid are in the same league.
While professing to care about Palestinian rights, they ignore abuses of Palestinian rights all throughout the middle east and focus solely on Israel. Not coincidentally Israel is the only country the Palestinian leadership has threatened and launched attacks against. The only national movement for self determination in the world Queers Against Israeli Apartheid condemns is Jewish self-determination, making the implication of their overt anti-Semitism obvious.
This would be laughable except for the fact this hate group has the support of Toronto City Councillors like Kristyn Wong-Tam, Gord Perks, Sarah Doucette , Janet Davis, Mike Layton and Maria Augimeri.
At Toronto`s Executive Committee last month, one of the Queers Against Israel proclaimed offense at her group being compared to Nazi collaborators. They are exactly like Nazi-collaborators.
Queers Against Israeli Apartheid is a Gay group that has turned up at rallies that showed support for the Iranian regime that tortures and murders Gay people for the mere "crime" of being Gay.
Some of the spokespeople for Queers Against Israeli Apartheid, participated in Zafar Bangash`s Khomeinist Al Quds Day rally last year, holding banners in support that announced their hate of Israel,
The event was created by the Holocaust-denying regime in Iran for the purpose rousing support for the destruction of Israel and the imposition of Iranian-style Sharia Law in Israel. The same laws by which Iranian Gays are imprisoned and killed.
In a speech last year, the avowed Khomeinist Bangash declared that Iran`s leaders `represent the true values of Islam today. They make us proud of Islam!`
The pride Bangash speaks of would result in the participants of Toronto`s Pride parade being hung by the neck from lamp posts.
In order to manifest their pathological hate of Israel, an ideology that would murder their own kind is what Queers Against Israeli Apartheid have bound themselves with. So too have a faction of despicable municipal politicians.
This Tuesday, Toronto`s City Council votes on whether they will amend the the city`s Anti-Discrimination Policy to preclude funding for an event that includes participation by the lying bigots of Queers Against Israeli Apartheid.
If you live in Toronto, it might be worth letting your Councillor know what you would think of them if they decide to support an event that serves as a platform for a group tied to murderous hate.

A secretive Queen's University anti-Zionist course disguised as "Jewish History" where "facts" don't matter
Imagine you'd enrolled in an undergraduate course last fall called "Jewish Women in Historical Perspective" at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario. If you thought you would be learning about notable Jewish women like Ruth and Esther from the Bible through to authors like Emma Lazarus and Gertrude Stein, and renowned public figures like Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Bella Abzug and their influence on the wider world, you could be in for a big surprise.
The course calendar describes it as being about "Jewish history from biblical to modern times using gender as a category of analysis" including "tensions between competing traditions; influences of paganism, Islam, Christianity." But the syllabus and the course content suggest something very different.
You'd certainly receive a healthy dose of tensions between competing traditions. But rather than Jewish History, it has more of the appearance of indoctrination sessions on the evils of Zionism and the Jewish state delivered by a veritable who's who of Canadian anti-Israel ideologues.
Included on that list are Sylvat Aziz, Palestine Liberation Organization Adviser Elia Zureik, Adnan Hussein, Ariel Salzmann, and a Communist professor named Abbie Bakan whose apparent raison d'etre for the last decade has been to attempt to de-legitimize Israel.
Bakan is a particularly egregious choice for an instructor in a Jewish Studies course. She is on the editorial board of a 9-11 conspiracy theory promoting website called The Canadian Charger, which was founded by Mohamed Elmasry, who notoriously declared that all Israeli Jews over the age of 18 are 'legitimate' targets for murder.
She has also been a featured speaker at al Quds Day gatherings, a 'holiday' invented by Iran's Ayatollah Khomeini for the purpose of rousing Muslim support for Jihad against Israel. At one al Quds event, which she attended at the behest of a Khomeinist group called CASMO, which has posted anti-Semitic videos by the neo-Nazi leader David Duke on their website, Bakan fatuously declared that Israel "is exactly like the apartheid state of pre-1994 South Africa."
Such vicious polemical nonsense has the potential to cause quite a stir. But a directive in the course's syllabus is designed to nip that in the bud at the expense of the belief that university education should be above-board and open to scrutiny. A dictate in the Jewish Women in Historical Perspective's syllabus says:
I telephoned Professor James Carson, the Chair of Queen's History Department under whose aegis the course falls, about its curious nature. He described the course as being about "dialogue." That explanation is indeed supported by another dictum in the course syllabus which states:
But what I found perplexing was how something purporting to be a university history course could declare that truth and facts are "misleading" and secondary to a dialogue comprised of feelings and emotion.
It may serve the ideological purposes of the instructors to wave aside facts like five Arab armies tried to eradicate Israel upon its inception as a state, or that the Hamas charter calls for Israel's destruction and endorses the killing of Jews, or that Palestinian state television produces children's programs that glorify suicide bombers and call for war against the Jews. To these Queen's academics, "the important learning event" is the Palestinian feeling of oppression.
But how could that possibly be categorized as history?
Professor Carson attempted to explain it to me using an example from a course he teaches about the First Nations In North America.
He said that the Canadian Indian Act came into being in 1876 and from the government's perspective, it was to "civilize" the First Nations but from the aboriginals's point of view it was an act of "genocide." Carson felt that was an example of how there could be different perspectives on what constitutes a "fact."
I challenged that, observing that there were indeed indisputable facts in his example. The Indian Act was enacted in 1876, the actual wording of The Act is something that can be verified. The intent of these facts could be open to interpretation, but the facts themselves could not.
That agitated Professor Carson, who curtly replied, "I'm not going to engage in a forensic examination of the syllabus with you, thank you for your time." Then he hung up on me.
It's easy to sympathize with Professor Carson's frustration. It would be tremendously difficult to do a forensic examination of anything if you don't believe there's such a thing as a verifiable fact.
It seems the syllabus and curriculum has changed a bit for "Jewish Women in Historical Perspective" in the coming term. For the sake of that course's students and the integrity of Queen's University, it would be a good thing if their History Department's appreciation of historical facts changed along with it.

To build an atmosphere of civility, trust, and participation, and afford reasonable privacy it is necessary and you are requested to abide by the following:In order to keep the goings-on secretive, the classes can't be recorded and no outsiders are allowed. It's the Queen's anti-Zionist version of what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. But indications are that what happens at Queen's is more insidious than the affairs at Caesar's Palace.

-no cells, Internet, texting
-no visitors, no auditors
I telephoned Professor James Carson, the Chair of Queen's History Department under whose aegis the course falls, about its curious nature. He described the course as being about "dialogue." That explanation is indeed supported by another dictum in the course syllabus which states:
"Truths or facts as labels are misleading to understand complex situations. ‘Even handed’ and ‘balanced’ for X may not be acceptable to Y. The important learning event happens in dialogue."It doesn't require a lot of imagination to picture how that dialogue would be slanted in a course where most of the "authorities" are members of a group called "The Coalition Against Israeli Apartheid."

Video of the vile protesters who disrupted and insulted Remembrance Day ceremonies in Toronto
Toronto's Remembrance Day services were disrupted and heckled by a group of reprehensible anarchists and Trotskyites who are fixtures at radical protests in the city.
Some of them came to voice their support for the Khomeinist sociopaths at their al Quds Day hate-fest this summer and last weekend they came to provoke citizens who gathered to remember and honor Canada's soldiers who have served and fallen in wars.
The blog GenuineWitty has more details about who was involved in the protest and their agenda.
One of the protest leaders wrote his own account, which reveals the deeply disturbed mind-set of such people.

More unhinged racism from Iran's mouthpiece in Canada
The Eminence Gris behind the Khomeinist al Quds demonstrations in Toronto is a notorious hate monger named "Daffy" Zafar Bangash. Under the direction of Iran's Embassy in Canada, Bangash, the Imam of the York region Islamic Centre, penned a glowing tribute to the sadistic, murderous dictator of Iran's Islamic Republic from 1979 to 1989, Ruhollah Khomeini. Indeed, Bangash rarely misses an opportunity to lavish praise on that regime that systematically punishes female dissidents with rape and torture.
While a propagandist, Daffy Zaffy's style is less suited to the western world, where even disinformation requires some subtlety and reason, than to the Islamic world where hyperbole and big talk substitute for their minuscule achievements. Part of Bangash's schtick is to accuse, without any substantiation, anyone who doesn't kowtow to his Islamist fanaticism of being a racist.
The irony being that Bangash tends to work himself up in to such a hateful lather when he speaks and even writes, that he frequently betrays his own actual racism. The epitome of his bigoted antipathy these days being in the person of US President Barack Obama.
While fuming against Israel at last year's al Quds hatefest, where he invariably refers to Israel as "the racist, Zionist regime" Bangash couldn't restrain his hate and cursed Obama as "that black man in the White House."
Now, in one of his rambling paeans to the barbaric dictatorship in Iran, he refers to Obama with a racial slur as "a perfect Uncle Tom."
The lie that Daffy Zaffy comically tries to spread is that Israel, where the religious and democratic rights of all its citizens are respected, would be better off under Islamic Sharia Law, the ideal in his mind being the repressive, totalitarian Islamic Republic of Iran.
While his promotion of Iran and invective against Israel are falling flat, there is one cause that Bangash is doing a great job of promoting - that of immigration reform. Whenever I hear that guy, it's a reminder we're letting lots of the wrong people into this country, and we should be putting a stop to it immediately.
--------- ---------- -------------
On another amusing note from Bangash's Islamist magazine Crescent International, he gives some space to the neurotic anti-Israel propagandist Eva Bartlett. I had the pleasure of meeting Bartlett in person a couple of months ago and she didn't much like the resulting article I wrote.
Bangash describes the fanatical Bartlett as a "peace activist." The late British essayist Christopher Hitchens summed up people like her and her cohorts more honestly when he wrote that "in reality, they are straight out pro-war, but on the other side." In the case of Bartlett, her side are the terrorists and murderers of Hamas and Hezbollah, of whom she writes glowingly.
Batty Eva's offerings invoke one question in particular: is she an idiot or is it that she thinks those listening to her are idiots and incapable of recognizing how ridiculous she is? (Not that either is mutually exclusive.)
In one of her typically weird, rambling, not-quite coherent tomes, the International Solidarity Movement minion preposterously claims,
"..kids in Gaza are not filled with hate or being taught propaganda. Growing up under occupation and the barrel of Zionist guns, most boys choose to buy and play with cheap plastic guns, a product not of inherent Palestinian lust for fighting but of their lives since birth being subject to Zionist shooting and bombing, and seeing loved ones kidnapped and killed by the Zionist regime."
The examples of kids in Gaza being taught hate and propaganda are so abundant and so blatant as to make Batty Eva herself less effective as a propagandist than as a comedy act. In their schools, mosques and even on television shows aimed at preschool kids, Hamas subjects Gaza's children to hateful propaganda extolling the virtues of suicide bombers, terrorism, and encourages youth to commit murder and sacrifice their lives for the Islamist cause.
The level of depravity that one sees in Gaza is appalling, but seeing the murderous totalitarians offering half-witted missionaries of hate in Canada invokes a strange but different reaction - the unusual combination of revulsion and amusement.

While a propagandist, Daffy Zaffy's style is less suited to the western world, where even disinformation requires some subtlety and reason, than to the Islamic world where hyperbole and big talk substitute for their minuscule achievements. Part of Bangash's schtick is to accuse, without any substantiation, anyone who doesn't kowtow to his Islamist fanaticism of being a racist.

Cupcake and Coren talk about when police act like fascists
The idiot cop who arrested and threatened Allan Eintoss was in dereliction of duty and acted like a stupid fascist. That disgrace with a badge should be disciplined and some among Toronto's police need to learn the the laws they are supposed to enforce.
Some people probably shouldn't toss around the epithet "Satanic"
“I want to send this clear message to this Satanic power whose representatives are hiding in that (United States Consulate) building: that your days are also numbered; you will see,” said (Zafar) Bangash.
With his sculpted, angular beard, his open admiration for one of the 20th Century's worst mass murderers and a propensity to spew out hateful rants, York Region Islamic Center's Imam Zafar Bangash might want to think twice before he refers to other people as "satanic."

Al Quds Day hate fest highlights multiculturalism`s failures
They came by the busloads from mosques in Brampton, the Islamic Society of York Region, and Toronto`s Thorncliife Park area to descend like a swarm of angry locust on the seat of Ontario`s government at Queen`s Park. Their speakers, with thick foreign accents and mangled syntax, spoke of how "the Canadian values" are not represented by our elected national government or supporters of the middle east`s only democratic country. Then, amid shouts of "Allahu Akhbar!," groups of surly disciples of Iran's murderous dictator Ruhollah Khomeini, grubby men trailed by women shrouded from head to foot in chadors and niqabs, paraded to the American consulate.
The reason for it all was the annual hate fest called al Quds Day, which Khomeini began in 1979 as a means of rallying Muslims to the cause of Israel's destruction. This confluence of anger and theocratic fanaticism was closely watched by the media after the hateful invective of last year's al Quds rally in Toronto became a media centerpiece. Learning from the past, this year the speakers were on their best behavior, though a couple of them did flounder into minor moments of anti-Semitism. But aware of the media attention, despite ambitions of imposing an Islamic caliphate upon us, for the most part they restrained their urge to invoke cries for Jihad and Islamic Sharia Law.
Though followers of Iran's despots, most of them were Shites of Pakistani origin. A few were Sunni sycophants of the Iranian regime, like the event's best known and most notorious speaker, the firebrand Muslim demagogue, York Region Islamic Center's Imam, Zafar Bangash.
Amid his denunciations of the "Zionist regime" and Canada's "right-wing, fascist media," on this occasion Bangash didn't extol his idols in Iran. But where he travels, the shadow of the Ayatollahs' dictates are never far away. Earlier this year, at a protest that attracted much less attention, Bangash revealed his absolute devotion to them, saying admiringly, "I consider the Islamic Republic of Iran to be the only Islamic state in the world today...I have met the leadership of the Islamic Republic of Iran and they represent the true values of Islam today.They make us proud of Islam!"
Torture and murder of political opponents, deprivation of free speech, the systematic rape of female prisoners placed in jail for crimes such as "immodesty," the persecution of religious and ethnic minorities, Holocaust denial and the absence of democracy is what is imposed by Iran's leaders whom Bangash esteems so highly.
What should be alarming is that Bangash, an acolyte of the world's leading sponsor and exporter of terrorism, is considered an influential leader in the Canadian Muslim community. And more like him are arriving from Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, Iran, Libya and other undemocratic bastions of barbaric medieval tribalism every day. Most come to escape the dysfunctional tyranny of their homelands. But too many come as evangelists of hatred and repression.
And we're bending over backwards to accommodate their intolerance.
On Saturday's al Quds gathering in Toronto, a man walking his dog through the protest at Queen's Park was assaulted by police and threatened with arrest for offending Muslim sensibilities. It sounds too shocking to be believed, but fortunately, the incident was captured on video. Another man was threatened with arrest for inciting a riot. Not because he was urging anyone on to violence, or for disobeying police instructions, but for brandishing an Israeli flag near the Muslim demonstrators.
The idea behind the niqab is that a woman should be completely covered because the female form might entice a Muslim man to ravage her. Similarly, Toronto Police believed that the al Quds demonstrators were so incapable of recognizing other people's right to free expression and likely to become violent that to mollify them they violated the rights of law-abiding Canadian citizens .
Events like this shout out the failings of multiculturalism. Immigrants whose aspirations are not only to resist integration but to impose their oppressive theocratic ideologies on the rest of us are a threat to this nation's safety and security.
The Ministry of Immigration and Citizenship is currently conducting consultations on ways to improve our immigration system. If the al Quds hate fest is any indicator, the system doesn't need an improvement; it needs a complete overhaul.

The seeds of Khomeini's hate bud in Toronto - in pictures and words
Saturday afternoon, Toronto's Queens Park was filled with them. The men, grubby, bearded, execrable and vicious, with their their truculent, subservient women shrouded in robes as dark as their pernicious hearts. While their loathsome spokesmen preached poison, they were there in the hundreds; depraved acolytes of Iran's deceased mass-murdering, sadistic dictator Khomeini.
Ruhollah Khomeini, Iran's absolute ruler from 1979 until his welcome death in 1989, was every bit the monster as Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, or Saddam Hussein. His murderous regime systematically raped female prisoners, many of them children, and tortured and murdered its political opponents and members of religious and ethnic minorities.It was utterly repugnant to see admirers of that bloodthirsty totalitarian teeming like vermin on the green lawn in the shadow of the Legislature. Many, if not most of them, are immigrants to our county. Their assembly was an insult to the democratic freedoms of Canada, which they ostensibly sought as refuge, but apparently surreptitiously invaded as an evangelizing vanguard of Islamism.
| Khomeini held high at Queen's Park on Saturday |
Puerile support for the Khomenists was delivered by a tiny, bedraggled collection of cretinous local Marxists from groups like the Ontario Coalition Against Poverty, the so-called Canadian Peace Alliance and a group of emotionally unbalanced Jews calling themselves Independent Jewish Voices. Like pathetic ideological catamites, they came to ingratiate themselves to the Ayatollah's apostles. Between them all, that syndicate of reprobates worked themselves into a pernicious frenzy before the seat of the provincial government with the sanctification of Ontario's Speaker of the Legislature and Sergeant-at-Arms.
Knowing journalists were scrutinizing them, they were on their best behavior, but they could not refrain from at least one anti-Semitic trope when a speaker announced that the "media, which is owned by the Zionism and the Zionist lobbies."
"Zionism is terrorism," "Zionism is racism" "Down with Israel" were chanted from bullhorns and through face veils. But conscious that the eyes of the media were upon them, most of the heavy lifting of invective and demonization was delegated to useful idiot Jews, so the Khomeinists could pretend their anger was only towards the "Zionists."
They dangled two clownish-looking misfits from the bizarre Jewish sect Neutrei Karta at the front of their gathering. The duo, brought in from Montreal, said nothing to the assembly, but their appearance, that seemingly mimics Nazi-era propaganda caricature depictions of Jews, spoke volumes of the depths to which the Khomeinists will descend. Neutrei Karta is a close-knit Jewish cult, many of its members look like the product of generations of inbreeding. They believe that Israel is something that God has said will be denied to the Jews until the coming of the Messiah. Since The Jewish state exists and the Messiah has not arrived, they assume that Israel is some error of God that they must correct. The cult also apparently believes that God wants them to always dress like early 19th Century Eastern Europeans in the middle of winter, as evidenced by their being garbed in round beaver hats, stocking breeches and long, heavy black overcoats on a hot August Saturday afternoon.
The Khomeinists also paraded the corpulent Jewish owner of the Sea Hitler Gaza boat, Sandra Ruch. No lightweight to begin with, she appeared to have recently gained about 50 pounds, undoubtedly to show solidarity with the starving people of Gaza who are currently suffering from a deprivation of Dom Perignon and bacon at their luxury hotels due to dietary restrictions imposed by the Islamist Hamas government. The Islamic proscription against liquor is almost certainly a cruel but remarkably successful Zionist plot to deprive Muslims of pleasure and make them miserable. Ruch rambled on in a hyper-emotional diatribe in which she sounded like one imagines Justin Trudeau would if he were overdosing on the drug Ecstasy.
The tedious Suzanne Weiss spoke as well. Weiss was born in France and escaped the Holocaust as a toddler and pretends to be an expert on subjects about which she knows very little. She behaves as if her experiences as a two-year old that she cannot remember somehow bestows moral authority on her fatuous analogies of Israel with Nazi Germany.
But the most egregious insult to decency came in the form of a speech by Ken Stone of Independent Jewish Voices, a group of 9-11 conspiracy theorists and self-hating Jews. Stone's speech recalled the notorious ravings at last year's al Quds Day gathering by the hate monger Zafar Bangash. He spoke about wanting to eliminate the Jewish nature of Israel by overwhelming it with Muslims. This is an effort Stone has invested himself into before, being an organizer of this year's Global March To Jerusalem, a planned invasion of Israel by Palestinians and its supporters in which there were deaths and dozens of injuries.
He boasted about his organization's role in working with the United Church of Canada to achieve that denomination's recently passed resolution to boycott Israeli settlement products.
Yet while pretending to be a legitimate group of Jews who are still attached to their religion but opposed to Israeli policies, Stone's uncontrolled furor led him to make a stupid mistake. Screaming about the efforts to deny the al Quds Rally a permit to assemble at Queen's Park this year, he blamed "the Jewish Lobby." Stone forgot to use the code word "Zionist," thus betraying the dual realities that most Jews want nothing to do with the fringe lunatics of Independent Jewish Voices while the members of his organization harbor malice towards their less "progressive" co-religionists.

Sid Lacombe of the pro-Iran Canadian Peace Alliance was at the rally, railing against Stephen Harper, the US, Israel and making imbecilic allegations about western conspiracies to use "Islamophobia" as a justification for raping and pillaging in Muslim countries. But that sort of idiocy is to be expected from such people.
The real comic relief at this al Quds rally came from Zafar Bangash. He courageously challenged anyone, anyone who maligned his Khomeinist followers as hate mongers or anti-Semites or those who promote the idea that Islam is oppressive, to publicly debate him. Then he quickly added the caveat that exempted from his offer were members of what he called "right-wing, fascist media." By what Bangash would likely characterize with those terms, it pretty much means if that debate were to occur, it would be limited to being between him and The Toronto Star's pro-Islamist columnist Haroon Siddiqui.
More nefarious was the speech by a denizen of Canada's anti-Israel establishment, the consistently unkempt Ali Mallah. Mallah began with the chant generally interpreted as calling for the destruction of Israel as a Jewish State: "From the River (Jordan) to the (Mediterranean) Sea, Palestine will be free." Meaning, obviously, free of Jews.
Mallah was introduced as a long time fighter for "social justice." But there is interesting evidence that shows that Mallah's idea of social justice is selective and hypocritical, particularly when Muslims are the perpetrators of injustice.
Previously, Mallah had been a Vice President of both the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) and the Canadian Arab Federation, the latter organization having lost its federal funding after Immigration and Citizenship Minister Jason Kenney identified it as anti-Semitic.
While a CUPE Vice President, Mallah was challenged by a member of his union, accusing him of silencing the discussion within the union about the Muslim genocide of black Africans by Arab Sudanese in Darfur.
Mallah's response, which can be seen on the CUPE website, was (his bolding, spelling and syntax errors included):
That, as much as anything, tells the story of our local Khomeinists' commitment to "social justice."
Despite all the hype, the al Quds Day fiasco turned out to be a rather dull day. The Jewish Defense League turned out in large numbers to challenge the supporters of Iran's mullahs, but the most passionate were the small contingent of Iranian ex-patriots who escaped the murderous regime. Well aware of the diabolical acts of Iran's rulers and the hundreds of thousands of murders they are responsible for, their fury was palpable. And the Khomeinsts despised them even more than they resented Jews, knowing that these honest, pro-democracy Iranians knew more than enough about them to discredit the lies of the Ayatollahs' servants.
It ended with a march from Queen's Park to the US consulate, a few blocks south on University Avenue. If the Khomeinists were hoping to win people to their cause, they will be disappointed to learn their march was counterproductive. Normal citizens walking along University Avenue who witnessed the throngs of women enveloped in burkahs and cahdors, the angry men shouting "Allahu Akbar!" and the flags of terrorist-run Palestine and Iran, were as appalled as if some giant slime creature had crawled out from the sewer. Many commented about how revolting it was to see supporters of Iran, one of the most repressive regimes on earth, parading through the city.
Ali Mallah promised that next year they would return to Queen's Park to demonstrate, whether they had a permit or not. Nothing that was said this year would technically qualify as hate speech, so there is no reason to deny them one in 2013. But the Khomeinists' opponents can take comfort in knowing that no one and nothing does a better job of discrediting them than they do themselves when they let average citizens see their repulsive nature out in the open.

"...Now, withis the risk of giving any merit to your accusation, I inform you and all that at one meeting last year, We had a a tense discussion about this issue and It was the International Solidarity committee and later the executive of CUPE district decision not to be dragged into a suspicios calls by some organizations (that are well known of its biases and disregard to Human rights) to participate in demonstartions that based on Islamophobia and prejudices while shedding crocodile tears over Darfur, Sepecialy when it is paving the way for another Imperialist project led By G.W. Bush, Condie and the rest of the gang. also, part of the debate was focused on the fact that there attempts to divide the people of Sudan Sudanees as Arabs VS Africans. I am sure you agree with the fact, that Sudan is an African Country and its people are Africans regardless of religion and languages/ dialect."So this individual, who has invested countless hours and untold energies into demonizing Israel for defending itself against terrorist groups, seems wiling to overlook a genocide of innocents, with hundreds of times more deaths than the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, as long as it's being perpetrated by Muslims. Mallah also felt compelled to include some anti-American conspiratorial nonsense in his ludicrous attempt to justify himself.
That, as much as anything, tells the story of our local Khomeinists' commitment to "social justice."
