Canada: Imam who prayed that Allah would kill
all his ‘enemies’ is linked to ISIS,
and ‘expert’ on ‘Islamophobia’
No surprise here. The “Islamophobia” scam is just a means to enable the advance of jihad activity by means of demonizing and stigmatizing resistance to it.
“FIRST READING: The man who led a street full of cheering Montrealers in prayer to ‘kill them all,'” by Tristin Hopper, National Post, November 9, 2023:
A man on a balcony in a Canadian downtown takes a microphone and leads a public prayer for the violent eradication of the “Zionist aggressors.” “Allah, count every one of them, and kill them all, and do not exempt even one of them,” he says in Arabic. Below him, a crowd of hundreds respond with cheers.The speaker was Montreal Imam Adil Charkaoui, and the venue was the city’s Oct. 28 “Stop the Genocide in Gaza” rally — one of dozens of Canadian events organized over the last 30 days by the Palestinian Youth Movement, a group that has openly praised the Oct. 7 massacres and called for continued violence against Israel.
Charkaoui’s speech may very well have been overlooked entirely if he hadn’t posted it online himself. He posted it (from multiple angles) to his Twitter, Instagram and Facebook profiles — along with lengthy screeds calling for the violent destruction of Israel, and denouncing Western media and politicians as Zionist collaborators.
“Israel terrorist, politicians complicit,” he wrote in French in an Oct. 31 post repeating a chant led by the same crowd who cheered his “kill them all” prayer.
“The only solution is the end of the occupation,” he added, alleging that the “Zionist entity” could be destroyed in 24 hours if not for “traitors” in the Arab world staying the Palestinians’ hand.
This is not out of the ordinary for Charkaoui, a Moroccan immigrant who has spent more than 20 years facing allegations and police investigations linking him to Islamist groups ranging from al-Qaeda to the Taliban to ISIS.
None of which has stopped him from obtaining Canadian citizenship and even being cited as an expert on “anti-Islamophobia.”…
At the time Parti Québécois secularism critic Agnès Maltais accused Charkaoui of “recruiting” Jihadis. Charkaoui did not deny a connection to the two men arrested, but chalked up all other accusations to a political “witch hunt.”
It was around this same time that Charkaoui founded the Quebec Collective Against Islamophobia, on whose behalf he would even testify at a 2015 Quebec National Assembly hearing. In 2014, Reuters would cite him as an expert about a purported rise in “Anti-Muslim bullying” following an Islamist terrorist attack on Parliament Hill….
Once again, a picture speaks louder than words.  The picture above was taken at Saturday’s pro-terrorism demonstration in London, which unleashed frenzied attacks across the capital upon Jews and others who support Israel’s defence against genocide, as well as those who wished to commemorate those who gave their lives to defend Britain in two world wars. The picture is a vignette of Britain’s tragic surrender of civilisation to barbarism. Two Metropolitan police officers, smiling benignly at the camera, pose for a selfie with a child dressed as a Palestinian terrorist. The corruption of Britain embraces the corruption of innocence and a symbol of genocidal Jew-hatred. At the same time, wrote Allison Pearson in the Telegraph, when a group of Israel supporters at that demonstration asked a couple of officers to pose with their group, the police turned this offer down. After Saturday’s shocking events, how can anyone possibly say the Home Secretary Suella Braverman was wrong to call these demonstrations “hate marches” which should not be allowed to take place? The following are links to other vignettes you may have missed because, while a full-scale civilisational emergency has been erupting in London, the mainstream media has been concentrating instead on demonising Israel with Hamas propaganda. Here, a Muslim mob invade a Pret a Manger cafe and demand that any Israel donors there must leave; Here, a protester telling the truth about Hamas is assaulted — reportedly with a knife — by Hamas supporters; Here, poppy sellers at Victoria station are forced to move; Here, a woman at Victoria station is left in tears after she and her husband are confronted by a demonstrator over wearing poppy lapel pins; Here, red paint has been thrown at a London house whose mezuzah on the front door identifies its occupants as Jews; Here, a young woman aggressively asks “Are you a Jew” on a London bus; Here, demonstrators shout “Death to all Jews” at Victoria station; Here, abuse is screamed outside a synagogue on the Jewish Sabbath, November 11; Here, an Israel government spokesman pushes back effectively (when he can get a word in ) against a BBC interviewer smouldering with contempt, hostility and malevolent bias against Israel. And although this is from Gaza itself, here is a Gazan civilian fleeing down an IDF-provided humanitarian corridor to the south telling a truth that the BBC and other Hamas apologists are so desperately trying to deny:
Finally, while I wrote a post here based on a compilation of the talks I gave on my trip to America last month, you can watch the one I gave to the David Horowitz Restoration Weekend in New Orleans on “The collapse of conservatism and the crisis of the west,” along with Q&A at the end, by clicking here. ========================================================== More than 100,000 people march in Parisagainst anti-SemitismThousands of marchers joined French lawmakers in Paris on Sunday to condemn a surge in anti-Semitism in France during the conflict in the Gaza Strip, but arguments over political participation clouded an intended show of unity.  The protest, called by the leaders of France's two houses of parliament, was prompted by a three-fold increase in the number of anti-Semitic incidents compared with the whole of 2022, according to French authorities, since the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel. "Our order of the day today is... the total fight against anti-Semitism which is the opposite of the values of the republic," Senate speaker Gerard Larcher, who organised the demonstration with lower house speaker Yael Braun-Pivet, told broadcaster LCP before the marchers set off. Political figures, including Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne and former presidents François Hollande and Nicolas Sarkozy, headed the march, holding a banner with the slogan "For the Republic, against anti-Semitism". They led several renditions of the French national anthem. Police estimated 105,000 people had taken part in Sunday's march. More than 3,000 police and gendarmes were deployed to maintain security. "We had grandparents who escaped being transported to the concentration camps, luckily they aren't here to see that (anti-Semitism) is back," said Laura Cohen, a marcher in her 30s. "We shouldn't have to hide in 2023," she added, saying her family planned to remove their name from the intercom in their building and the mezuzah, a Jewish religious object, from their door. Around 500,000 Jewish people live in France, making up Europe's largest community. Earlier Sunday, thousands of people gathered in major French cities including Lyon, Nice and Strasbourg behind the same slogan as the Paris march: "For the Republic, against anti-Semitism". "Everyone should feel like it's their business" to combat anti-Jewish feeling, France's chief rabbi Haim Korsia told broadcaster Radio J. Hamas's shock October 7 attack killed about 1,200 people, mostly civilians, in Israel, according to Israeli officials, while the military says 240 people were taken hostage. The Israeli air and ground campaign in response has left more than 11,000 people in Gaza dead, according to the Hamas-run health ministry. France has recorded nearly 1,250 anti-Semitic acts since the attack. 'Confusion'On the eve of the march, President Emmanuel Macron – who did not attend Sunday – condemned the "unbearable resurgence of unbridled anti-Semitism" in the country. "A France where our Jewish citizens are afraid is not France," he wrote in a letter published in Saturday's Le Parisien. Macron condemned the "confusion" surrounding the rally and said it was being "exploited" by some politicians for their own ends. The hard-left France Unbowed (LFI) party boycotted the event which the far-right National Rally (RN) attended. LFI leader Jean-Luc Melenchon rejected the march as a meeting of "friends of unconditional support for the massacre" of Palestinians in Gaza. A separate rally against anti-Semitism that LFI organised in western Paris was disrupted on Sunday morning by counter-demonstrators. Far-right leader Marine Le Pen – who also encountered protesters as she arrived – declared the march should also serve to stand against "Islamic fundamentalism", a pet theme of her anti-immigrant party. The National Rally (RN) was known for decades as the National Front (FN), led by her father Jean-Marie Le Pen -- a convicted Holocaust denier. Aiming to show the party has changed, "We are exactly where we should be" taking part in the march, Le Pen told reporters, calling any objections "petty political quibbles". Communist leader Fabien Roussel said he would "not march alongside" the RN. Other left-wing parties as well as youth and rights organisations marched behind a common banner separated from the far right. 'No posturing'Prime Minister Borne said Sunday, "There is no place for posturing" at the march, writing on X that "this is a vital battle for national cohesion". Borne's own father survived the Nazi death camp Auschwitz in occupied Poland, only to take his own life when she was 11. Among the long list of recent anti-Semitic acts, Paris prosecutors are investigating an incident on October 31, when buildings in the city and suburbs were daubed with dozens of Stars of David. The graffiti, which brought back memories of the Nazi occupation of Paris during World War II and deportation of Jews to death camps, was widely condemned. The march took place a day after several thousand people demonstrated in Paris under the rallying cry "Stop the massacre in Gaza". The left-wing organisers called for France to "demand an immediate ceasefire" between Israel and Hamas militants. (FRANCE 24 with AFP and REUTERS) |
