False Rape Accuser Lena Dunham Supports White Bill Clinton Blasts Black Bill Cosby

Almost a dozen women have accused Bill Clinton of everything from outright rape to groping to harassment to characters assassination. Nevertheless rape-hoaxer Lena Dunham vigorously supports making Bill Clinton America’s first First Gentleman and making his chief-enabler, Hillary Clinton, the next president of the United States. If Dunahm’s standards on the issue of victimizing women are this low, why then is she publicly calling for Bill Cosby’s head?

It must be because Bill Cosby is black.

What else could it be?

Minneapolis City Council Member Defends Controversial Tweets

http://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2015/12/30/minneapolis-city-council-member-defends-controversial-tweets/

 

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — The Minneapolis City Council member criticized over posting critics’ personal information on social media is not apologizing.

Alondra Cano represents Ward 9. She tweeted out screenshots of emails from people upset about her involvement with last week’s Black Lives Matter protest. Those posts were later deleted.

A week after sending the tweets, Cano defends her actions.

“I was live tweeting, documenting the event,” she said.

She tweeted screenshots of what people emailed about her involvement with the Black Lives Matter protest at the Mall of America via the city’s public contact forum. Included in the tweets to her more than 2,000 followers were addresses, phone numbers and emails of her critics.

“Unfortunately that information is public, and they should have read this disclaimer, maybe, more properly and taken time to think about what their actions meant,” Cano said.

When asked if she could have accomplished her goal of keeping the conversation public and transparent without revealing their contact information, Cano responded, “I could’ve, if I would’ve had the proper media technology tools and time. I was live tweeting from the mall. This was a public conversation that was happening, it was a timely conversation. It really depends on how much time you have on your hands to respond to non-ward constituents.”

Two of her critics told WCCO they think Cano should face consequences for her actions, and now worry about retaliation. Cano said she does not think she should have handled the situation differently.

“I’ve thought about this a lot. I stand by my actions,” she said. “We need to expose these conversations publicly.”

Cano says as a result, she’s received threats via email and social media.

“There’s been other emails threatening my life, hoping me and my family have a painful death,” she said. “This is racism in America.”

Cano said she deleted the tweets because she felt they were taking away from the protest’s message.

Her actions were legal, but people who are upset can file an ethics complaint with the city. Since last week there is one closed complaint against Cano, and one pending.

Workshop on converting non-Muslims held at the University of Calgary

http://en.cijnews.com/?p=18012

 

The Dawah [inviting people to embrace Islam] organization iERA (Islamic Education & Research Academy) Calgary held at the University of Calgary a workshop entitled “Call of Duty – Dawah Training Course”.

The training workshop, held on Saturday, March 16, 2013 (9am to 6pm) at ICT Building 114, was organized in collaboration with the University of Calgary’s MSA (Muslim Students Association).

The organizes described the purpose and goal of the Dawah training workshop as follows:

“A one day interactive course teaching you how to talk to non-Muslims about Islam, convincingly and in a structured way.

“Learn what to do with all those uncomfortable questions that people always ask. Quickly and confidently be able to explain the core parts of the deen [religion of Islam], and reasons for belief. Build your confidence to be a true dawah [inviting others to embrace Islam] carrier in your community.”

On the Facebook event page of the workshop, the organizers added the following:

“… iERA Calgary in collaboration with the University of Calgary’s MSA have been able to organize a workshop that is aimed to help you excel in your dawah efforts and deliver this beautiful gift of Islam to others with the diligence and respect that it deserves!

“The Call of Duty course is a two day weekend course that aims to help you prove the existence of God, why there can only be ONE God, revelation and prophet hood, and how to clear up misconceptions about Islam!

“Join us this March the 16th-17th for a course you will not want to miss out on! Class starts at 10 am and runs to 7 pm for both day, with the second day involving going out and giving dawah in the streets under the supervision of Brother Zain Masood, the iERA Canada representative, a very well accomplished Daee who has years of experience under his belt!

“The Call has been made oh brothers and sisters, the only question that remains to be answered is are you willing to step up and take on the responsibility and honor to deliever the message?! Seats are limited to 80 and half been taken already so don’t delay! Please fill up the following form if you want to be part of the workshop.”

iERA Canada defined itself a “national nonprofit organization committed to inform, educate, and actively engage humanity about the truth and noble message of Islam” and “focused on empowering the Muslim community in North America with the tools and resources to engage society about Islam.”

iERA Canada is a branch of the Global Dawah organisation committed to presenting the true message of Islam to the World. iERA international was founded by Abdurraheem Green (born Anthony Vatswaf Galvin Green) in Britain and since then extended its Dawah activity globally.

The British Telegraph reported (May 24, 2014) that the Islamic Education and Research Academy (iERA), founded and run by Abdur Raheem Green and operates branches also in Canada, “is being investigated by the official watchdog amid allegations that its leaders promote anti-Semitism and have called for homosexuals and female adulterers to be stoned to death.”

On 30 November 2014, the Telegraph reported that the iERA was “closely linked to a number of the ‘Portsmouth jihadis’ – six young men from the Hampshire city who travelled together to fight for Islamic State (ISIL) in Syria.” iERA denied that the Portsmouth group were part of the IERA organisation, but added:”However, Portsmouth Dawah Team members, including Hassan and Jaman, dressed in IERA T-shirts to proseltyse and used IERA banners and literature on their street stall. The group was last year described by Mission Dawah, part of IERA, as ‘our team from Portsmouth.’”

iERA’s founder and chairman, Abdur Raheem Green – opponent of democracy

The following are excerpts of Green’s speeches during the last few years:

Islam is not compatible with democracy – “Whoever believes that it is permissible and allowed to judge and to legislate in contradiction with Allah’s judgment and legislation is without doubt a disbeliever… If democracy means that sovereignty is with the people, that the people have the right to decide what’s halal [permitted] and haram [prohibited] and it’s up to them, then no Muslim with any mustard seed of iman [faith] can agree with this… Islam is not compatible with democracy if we mean by democracy that people have the right to legislate and people have sovereignty… What they have in the West, actually in my opinion, is the allusion of democracy. It’s the allusion of democracy. They make people think and believe that they have a choice, that they can influence things, but in reality they can’t change anything.”

Nationalism is against Islam values – “Nationalism is something in Islam that is really haram [prohibited] and it is Jahiliyyah [ignorance of divine guidance] and whoever calls for nationalism they call to Jahiliyyah and whoever fights for nationalism fights for Jahiliyyah.”

Jews and Christians are not to be trusted – “Do not take the Jews and the Christians or the mushrikeen [polytheists] as your awliya [supporter, guardian or protector]. What is the word awliya, what does it mean? It has a meaning of friendship, close friendship. It has the meaning of your advisers, your protectors.”

Adulterers should be stoned to death – “Why do you chop the hand of the thief? Why do you stone the adulterer and adulteress to death? Why do you chop the hand and the leg of the one who commits violent robbery and leave them to bleed to death or crucify them? All of these – to deter the people from being evil and committing evil.”

Homosexuality is evil – “First of all I don’t like to use this word gay. This word gay to use it is already to be fooled by the propaganda of these people. OK. This word is used in order to make this evil and vile act acceptable in society. They should be called at least homosexuals. This is the least. Better to use a more derogatory term like sodomites.”

Wife beating is permissible in principle – “The husband is allowed to prevent her from evil to apply some type of physical force. This is a type of a very light beating. In fact, as some has mentioned it is just to hit with the miswak [20cm long teeth cleaning twig].”

Rochester, New York: Muslim arrested for Islamic State jihad mass murder plot in restaurant on New Year’s Eve

Rochester, New York: Muslim arrested for Islamic State jihad mass murder plot in restaurant on New Year’s Eve

 

A 25-year-old man who planned to attack a restaurant in Rochester, New York, on New Year’s Eve has been arrested and charged with attempting to provide material support to Islamic State, the US Justice Department said on Thursday.

“The FBI thwarted Emanuel Lutchman’s intent to kill civilians on New Year’s Eve,” a Justice Department statement quoted FBI Special Agent in Charge Adam S. Cohen as saying. “The FBI remains concerned about people overseas who use the Internet to inspire people in the United States to commit acts of violence where they live.”

In the run-up to the festivities, about 6,000 police officers will guard revelers on New Year’s Eve at one of the city’s highest-profile events, the Times Square countdown.

An estimated one million people are expected in the vicinity of the square on Thursday for the New Year’s Eve dropping of the ball, a tradition begun in 1907 and broken only during wartime blackouts….

Officers communicating with smart phones and loud speakers will be empowered to shut down the event at any time and evacuate the area, Police Commissioner William Bratton said, adding that there were no known credible threats against New York City….

Former Femen activist Sara Fernanda Giromin backflips, declaring war on feminism

http://www.news.com.au/lifestyle/real-life/former-femen-activist-sara-fernanda-giromin-backflips-declaring-war-on-feminism/news-story/2189d285757113b38da162c8ecf1b26d

 

SHE was the pioneer of modern-day girl power, responsible for countless topless protests to highlight women’s rights.

But now, Sara Fernanda Giromin has backflipped, declaring war on the ideals she once so proudly bared her breasts for, describing the feminist movement as “a completely toxic environment, filled with gossip, intrigue, humiliation and persecution”.

Introducing herself to the world in 2012 under the alias Sara Winter, Ms Giromin was the founding face of Femen Brazil, a subsidiary of the Femen movement.

A group of topless activists who protest against sexism, religion, homophobia, and other social issues, the organisation says it is “fighting patriarchy in its three manifestations — sexual exploitation of women, dictatorship and religion”.

 

But just three years later, Giromin has decried feminism and abortion, saying it “promotes the destruction of the traditional family and all moral values ​​of society”.

“The feminist movement can harm women in an irreversible way,” she toldguiame.com, while accusing it of “encouraging promiscuity”, “birth control” and “abortions”.

In a YouTube video titled, I ask Christians for forgiveness for feminist protest, she publicly apologised to Christians for her offensive behaviour and expressed her distaste for a Femen stunt in January 2014 when she engaged in a same-sex kiss another topless woman in front of the Church of Our Lady of Candelária in Rio de Janeiro.

“Asking for forgiveness is certainly not an easy thing to do,” said Ms Giromin.

“We went way too far and ended up offending many religious and non-religious people.

“I feel extremely happy and welcome. I never imagined that religious people take “forgiveness” seriously. This is a learning experience for all who criticise Christians.

“I thank all the Christians who have supported me and given me space to spread my new visions. God bless.”

‘I ask Christians for forgiveness’

Furthermore, she published a book, Bitch, No! Seven Times I Was Betrayed by Feminism, outlining her abuse at the hands of other feminists.

In the book, she details how she was pressured by fellow feminist members to take drugs and engage in sex acts with strangers, even claiming she was “molested” by a lesbian. She felt pressured to engage in bisexuality so she could receive “maximum respect” from the group.

“Lesbian and bisexual women have much more voice and respect within the movement, so in the search for recognition of my struggle, with each day that passed, I deconstructed my heterosexuality and was substituting it with an artificial bisexuality,” she said.

A percentage of proceeds from the book will be given to pro-life causes.

Clues to Ms Giromin’s flip began surfacing in October after the birth of her second child, when she detailed her repentance for aborting her first child. The birth of her second, she said, had changed her mind about the right to choose.

“I have repented of having had an abortion and today I ask for forgiveness,” wrote Ms Giromin, according to Life Site News.

“Yesterday marked one month after the birth of my baby and my life has taken on a new meaning. I’m writing this while he sleeps serenely on my lap. It is the greatest sensation in the world.”

“Please, women who are desperate to abort, think carefully about it. I was very sorry I did it. I don’t want the same for you.”

As time progressed, so did her attitude, and she eventually rejected her bisexual status.

 

Though she left the Femen group in 2013, denouncing it as a “business”, Ms Giromin continued down the activist path with Bastardxs, a feminist group that includes both men and women.

But now she refutes feminism in all its forms, describing it as a “sect” that fools women and uses them as mere objects, instead promoting lesbianism and paedophilia.

“For the feminist sect women are not the inspiration, they are prime matter in the worst sense of the term. They are convenient objects useful for the purpose of inflaming hatred against the Christian religion, hatred against men, hatred against the beauty of women, hatred against the equilibrium of families.

 

“That’s what feminism is, and I can guarantee it is like that because I was on the inside!

“I saw the feminist movement cover up for PAEDOPHILES.

“I saw the feminist movement PERSECUTE WOMEN … I am a witness to the fact that today in the feminist movement women are not of any importance but serve as fuel for the fires of hatred that the feminist sect cannot allow to die.”

Ms Giromin has teamed up with Christian psychologist Marisa Lobo to give talks that focus on antifeminism and gender ideology.

“I left that movement of which for four years I was one of the principal symbols in Brazil, and no one can say the contrary!

“The result? Today I’m much happier and I’m able to help women more.”

Feminism: Death Cult Chaos

 

http://theothermccain.com/2015/12/30/feminism-death-cult-chaos/

 

“Feminism Is a Totalitarian Movement to Destroy Civilization as We Know It” — this is a truth that cannot be repeated often enough as we watch the Democrat-Media Complex mobilize all its resources to elect Hillary Clinton president. Monday night I found myself assailed on Twitter by Clintonistas who resented my characterization of feminism as a totalitarian ideology as rigid and intolerant as the neo-Stalinism of the North Korean regime. The one thing Democrats cannot tolerate is the truth, and suppressing the truth about feminism — a movement that is not about “equality,” but instead is about power — is therefore necessary to Democrat success in the 2016 election campaign. If the truth is known, Democrats lose. Meanwhile, in England . . .

A student has spoken out about the challenges of identifying as neither male or female and also being attracted to both genders.
Speaking with the Liverpool Echo, Amy Toon – who studies modern history and politics at the University of Liverpool – described a feeling of relief at being able to self-identify as being non-binary and pansexual after years of being in the unknown.
However, despite being generally treated with respect, Amy told the site being referred to as “a girl” is upsetting and that many people think gay marriage is enough, but insisted the opposite. Amy also added how the option of hormone replacement would mean having to wait for up to five years, and said: “You have to live for quite a while being very unhappy with who you are.” . . .
Amy, originally from Leeds, described having to sign on as being female, however, services like the NHS provide the option of ‘Mx’ instead of the usual ‘Miss/Mr/Mrs’, and also told the news site “they/them” is a preferable way of being addressed, whereas others may opt for “ze, hir, hirs, and xe, xem, or xyr.”
Even though Amy has received support since self-identifying with both groups, the undergraduate highlighted feelings of anxiety and depression when being called a “girl” and added howstudents at the university “can be really transphobic.” Amy added: “They make stupid statements and our LGBT posters were torn down.” . . .

Amy Toon is a victim of society, oppressed by pronouns. How dare you call a girl a “girl,” you heteronormative transphobic bigot?

As easy as it is to laugh at such products of feminist ideology, we must not overlook the tragic dimension — what if it were your daughter who had been brainwashed by the transgender cult? — and the disastrous social consequences. A couple of weeks ago, I interviewed a parent whose child had been captured by this movement. It was a story familiar to anyone who has paid attention to this trend: A tomboyish daughter, a good student, generally well-behaved but somewhat socially awkward, quite suddenly becomes hostile and defiant, announces that she is “he,” denounces her parents as bigots for questioning the decision to “transition,” and pursues a new persona based on an extreme alienation from her female identity. Only after this dramatic and heartbreaking departure — their daughter not merely renouncing her identity, but rejecting her family — did the parents discover the precipitating cause. Their daughter, trying to cope with an adolescent identity crisis, had gone exploring the corners of the Internet where advocates of transgenderism celebrate “transition” as a miraculous cure for every confused teenager’s problem. These FtM (female-to-male) transgender blogs feature photos and videos showing the effects of testosterone injections and weightlifting in developing a masculinized physique, and the results of “top” surgery (i.e., mastectomy) by which tomboys turn themselves into simulations of men. Inside the transgender cult’s online echo chamber, the teenager encounters a very one-sided message.

“Propaganda” is not too strong a word to describe the transgender cult’s carefully calculated campaign to convert the confusion of an adolescent crisis into the certainty of “transition” into a new identity. Much like a porngraphy addict, the vulnerable teenager who is at first merely curiousabout transgenderism may quickly become obsessed, and parents whose children fall prey to the transgender cult often report that their teenager went from normal to weirdo to fanatic in a matter of months.

Laughter is not the appropriate response to these tragedies, and it is not just Christian conservatives who are raising concerns about thetransgender cult’s recruitment campaign. Radical feminists have been warning about this trend for years. The blog 4th Wave Now was started by a feminist who watched in horror as her daughter was captured by the transgender cult. Understand that the feminist mom responsible for 4th Wave Now enthusiastically approved of her daughter’s lesbianism; it was when the teenage lesbian rejected female identity that her mother became alarmed. Feminist gender theory — the social construction of thegender binary within the heterosexual matrix — denies that there is any such thing as “human nature,” and feminists condemn heterosexuality as “the ideology of male supremacy.” Teaching girls to hate and fear men is what feminist motherhood is all about, so when their daughters want to become men — identifying with the hated male oppressor — we understand why feminists panic. Instead of smashing patriarchy, their daughters want to be the patriarchy.

 

The feminist crusade to destroy civilization in the name of “equality” has produced many ironic results, and we may be tempted to laugh when the debris of this destructive project lands on the doorsteps of man-hating fanatics who have fomented this War Against Human Nature. Yes, we can ridicule freaks like Tobias “Tobi” Hill-Meyer, whose career as a transgender pornographer brought shame on his/”her” lesbian feminist mother(s). However, the expanding cultural influence of radical feminism — promoted for decades in university Women’s Studies classrooms, and now increasingly extended to the public school curriculum — is aimed at all children, and every parent concerned for the future must pay attention. “The Queering of Feminism” means that “equality” requires the destruction of morality. All critical dissent must be suppressed while government schools indoctrinate children in the movement’s anti-male/anti-heterosexual ideology. Wellesley College Professor Julie Matthaei credits feminism with exposing “the oppressiveness of traditional heterosexuality” in a movement that “advocated lesbianism as an option for women.” By demonizing males and stigmatizing heterosexuality in this way, feminism seeks to create equality, but what it actually creates is decadence and chaos.

Meanwhile, in England . . .

The number of primary school-aged children, some as young as four, beginning to “transition” their gender is rising rapidly in the UK. The popularity of the fad appears to be clustered, with children copying others in the same schools.
Up to 80 primary school-aged children a year are now seeking help towards potentially changing their gender, the chair of Mermaids, a charity which lobbies for families who believe their children and teenagers are transgendered, has revealed.
Speaking to the Telegraph, Susie Green said that, in some cases, British children as young as four are already in the process of “transitioning” to another sex.
She also described how her organisation has observed a cluster effect across the country, with children following one and another in the same school; a school where there might be a teacher who promotes transgender ideology.
Her anecdotal evidence correlates with the results of a study by Mark Zucker at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health in Toronto, Canada, which found that transgenderism was more prominent and persistent among children when promoted by adults.
Researchers observed that children who saw therapists and others in authority who assume that they belong to the opposite sex can actually become more distressed, exacerbating their “gender dysphoric identity.”

Ask yourself, why is this trend so noticeable in England? One reason may be the 2010 Equality Act which effectively criminalizes criticism of the LGBT agenda. By making “sexual orientation” a protected category, this law not only requires schools to hire gay teachers, but makes it hazardous for anyone to express disapproval of homosexuality. LGBT advocacy in British schools is now ubiquitous and exempt from criticism, as is the case in many American school systems, where such advocacy often takes the form of “anti-bullying” programs. Is it any wonder, really, that many young people are so deeply confused about their sexuality?

Many parents are clueless about what is being taught in their children’s schools, but when we see transgender children in elementary school and LGBT clubs in high schools, it becomes obvious that the education system itself is dedicated to promoting this ideology. However, at the same time, the feminist fanatics who created the phony “rape epidemic” hysteria on college campuses are now promoting “consent education” in K-12 schools— to make sure that all students are warned that males are dangerous andheterosexuality is “rape culture.”

Feminism is a Death Cult, whose only goal is destruction — destroying religion, family, liberty, morality and, ultimately, human life itself.

Trudeau: Reviving the Islamic Spirit convention exemplifies “our shared beliefs”

http://en.cijnews.com/?p=17895

 

Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, sent a video message to the annual Reviving the Islamic Spirit convention held at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre (December 25-27) in Toronto.

The annual “Reviving the Islamic Spirit” (RIS) convention is according the organizers “an attempt by the youth to help overcome new challenges of communication and integration.” Its official Facebook pagestates the following: “The convention aims to promote stronger ties within the North American Society through reviving the Islamic tradition of education, tolerance and introspection, and across cultural lines through points of commonality and respect.

“Furthermore, the convention will be a celebration of our identity and Islamic faith. To help attain these ideals, the convention will feature a wide range of voices from various parts of the world. The convention showcases Islamic leadership from across the globe sharing a common platform before the widest cross section of our community. This program hopes to empower the youth across North America and inspire a true revival.”

The following is the transcript of Trudeau’s message to the Reviving the Islamic Spirit convention:

“As-salamu alaykum, Hello my friends. I’m thankful for this opportunity to share a few words with you

tonight. I attended the Reviving the Islamic Spirit [RIS] convention in person three years ago

and have had the pleasure to of sharing a message every year since.

“It brings me great pride to support the efforts of this organization, a true force for the promotion of Muslim Canadian identity. I’m sure you will enjoy your RIS experience as much as I did.

Since its inception in 2001, RIS has fostered the creation of a proud and a dynamic community. It exemplifies the rich diversity that makes our country such a great place to live.

“The RIS convention provides an important form for so many of us to exchange ideas and promote stronger ties between and within our communities.

“Every year, you seek to create a unique experience that highlights the many positive contributions of the Muslim community in North America.

“This is also about celebrating our shared beliefs in justice, fairness, equality of opportunity and acceptance. The work you do in communities across the country is what builds the and strengthens our multicultural fabric.

“As your Prime Minister, I have noted with deep regret a number of highly disturbing acts aimed at Canadian Muslims. These recent acts of intolerance have no place in our country and run absolutely contrary to Canadian values of pluralism and respect.

“This is why we are moving quickly to welcome refugees from Syria who are fleeing extraordinarily difficult situations. These people step off the plane as refugees and they walk out the airport as new Canadians.

“We define a Canadian not by skin colour or language or religion or background, but by a shared set of values, aspirations and hopes and dreams, and we are strong always not in spite of our differences but because of them.

“One does not need to look further than Maryam Monsef, our newly elected MP for Peterborough who came to Canada as a young refugee from Afghanistan and is now a Minister of the Crown.

“In Canada, the role of our government is to bring Canadians together, not to divide them. It is through this shared vision that we will work closely with you to build a better and a stronger Canada. May peace and blessings be upon you.”

Literature dealing with the Caliphate and flogging adulterers at Toronto Islamic conference

CIJnews obtained a textbook called “Islamic Studies” by Husain A. Nuri and Mansur Ahamd (Level 10) that was being sold during RIS conference at one of the Islamic booths. The following are excerpts of the textbook:

p. 79

“…her [the woman’s] legal liabilities are equal to man’s liabilities. If she commits an offence, her penalty is no less or no more than a man’s penalty i a similar case. For the crime of adultery, her punishment is 100 stripes, the same for a man…”

p. 83

“The ayah [Quranic verse] instructs men not to marry idolatrous women…

p. 85

“Islam allows a Muslim man to marry a Jewish or Christian woman…Islam has prohibited Muslim women from marrying non-Muslim men…

p. 87

“While Islamic ethics advocates strict monogamy, Islam has allowed a Muslim man to marry up to four women. However, a Muslim man can have multiple wives only if is under certain obligations, and provided that he meets certain conditions.

p. 97

“When Allah intended to create human beings, He mentioned them as khalifah. Evidently, the role of human beings as khalifah requires them to live up to the status of being true representatives of Allah…

“In fact, in the Quran the word khalifah is used in the sense of one who judges or rules in accordance with the command of God. in ayah [Quranic verse] 2:30, the word khalifah is used to mean the children of Adam (A) as well as all of mankind. In ayah 6:165 the word khalifah is applied to include all of mankind…

P. 98

“In many Islamic writings, the word khalifah is understood as a political system. The title khalifah is used for the leader of the Islamic world. The leader has the right to adopt the divine rules, protect the religion, and rule the Islamic world. Thus all the leaders after Rasul [messanger] Muhammad (S) where political successors to Rasulullah [messenger of Allah] (S), therefore, known as khalifah. A Caliph or Khalifah is recognized as the Amir al-Mu’minin, or the Commander of the Faithful.

“This meaning of the term does not override the original sense applied during the creation of Adam (A). However, our purpose here is to see how the concept of the term applies to all of us and how each of us can be khalifah on earth…

p.99

“In the seventh century, Islam provided mankind the ideal code of human rights. These rights conferred honour and dignity to mankind and eliminated oppression, exploitation, intimidation, coercion and injustice. Allah is the ultimate provider of law and He is the source of all human rights. Establishing and upholding human rights is integral to overall Islamic order. Thus, it is obligatory for Muslim government and rulers to implement human rights in true Islamic spirit. Therefore, no ruler, government or king should curtail or violate the human rights conferred by Allah…

p. 100

“According to many scholars of Islam to establish the institution of khilafa is fard al-ayan. It is a legal obligation that must be performed by each individual Muslim… According to some scholars, to establish the institution of khalifah is fard kifayah, or communal obligation. Although it is a duty for each individual, as long as a sufficient number of community members perform it, the duty is fulfilled.”

Cijnews also obtained an audio cassette in which Imam Hamza Yusuf, who vehemently opposed domestic violence, discusses the rights of men and women and explaining the Quranic verse (chapter 4 – An-Nisa, verse 34):

“Men have authority over women by [right of] what Allah has given one over the other and what they spend [for maintenance] from their wealth. So righteous women are devoutly obedient, guarding in [the husband’s] absence what Allah would have them guard. But those [wives] from whom you fear arrogance – [first] advise them; [then if they persist], forsake them in bed; and [finally], strike them. But if they obey you [once more], seek no means against them. Indeed, Allah is ever Exalted and Grand.” — translated by Abdullah Yusuf Ali.

Referring to the meaning of the words “strike them” mentioned in this verse, Yusuf relies on the interpretation of Muhammad, the Prophet of Islam. “This idea of striking, the Prophet [Muhammad] clarified that it is a light strike. It is just a way of really saying: listen to me, please, you know, listen to me, and it is a type of discipline…” Yusuf said.

He further explained: “I just wan to end with what [the Muslims scholar] Ibn Ashur says because I really feel that it is so important. He says, after a long extensive investigation of this verse, he says it is prohibited to abandoned a woman or to strike a woman because one thinks she is going to do something wrong. In other words, something has to have happened, it needs to be a gross breach of a marital contract, and this is why a Muslim man have to know the rights and responsibilities of marriage. Really. They have to know them. You are supposed to know them before you get married… So what he says? As for striking, this is a very dangerous matter. he says: and really defining it is very difficult to examine this. And then he says: it is permitted in situations where [moral] corruption [فساد] is clearly manifested. In other words, You’ve got a very dangerous situation. She has gone into an aggressive behaviour. She is really in a state of aggression against her husband… it is only permitted if there is no harm that comes from it. That means that physical violence is prohibited. You cannot harm a person.”

Why Wynne government mum on statements over sexual violence against women?

http://en.cijnews.com/?p=17973

 

In November, Premier Kathleen Wynne has unveiled Ontario’s latest public education campaign on sexual violence and harassment with an ad depicting behaviours that some Ontarians may have trouble recognizing as sexual violence or harassment including inappropriate comments regarding one’s sexuality, lewd looks and suggestions from the coworkers, and the expectation of sexual favours following a date.

The video, created by Leo Burnett and debuted at the 2015 Summit on Sexual Violence and Harassment, is a continuation of the province’s $41-million multimedia awareness campaign, a pillar of the Wynne government’s goal of ending sexual harassment and violence in Ontario. “It’s Never Okay: An Action Plan to Stop Sexual Violence and Harassment,” released in March 2015, aims at tackling the roots of sexual violence and harassment, and improving supports and services for survivors.

Since its’ launch, Ontario’s #WhoWillYouHelp TV spot has reached over 85 million people worldwide, and the number of Ontarians who believe they have an obligation to intervene if they witness sexual violence has increased since March 2015 from 37 to 58 percent.

Statistic shows that one in three women will experience some form of sexual assault in her lifetime; 28 per cent of Canadians say they have been on the receiving end of unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favours, or sexually charged talk while on the job.

However, Ipsos Reid poll, commissioned by the province, has shown that, many Ontarians are still unsure which behaviours constitute sexual violence and harassment. This new ad aims to help Ontarians identify sexual violence and harassment when it happens, so that they are able to step in and help.

Tracy MacCharles, Minister Responsible for Women’s Issues, said: “It is our responsibility as a government to ensure all Ontarians feel safe in their communities, workplaces, homes and schools, free from sexual violence and harassment. While this research shows progress, there is much work still to be done. We are calling on all Ontarians, through their actions and attitudes, to make change happen. We all have a role to play in stopping sexual violence and harassment.”

According to Ontario government website, sexual violence is any sexual act or attempt to obtain a sexual act by violence or force. It includes unwanted sexual advances or comments; selling or attempting to sell someone for sex; acts of violence directed against an individual because of their sexuality, regardless of the relationship to the victim.

Sexual violence against women is rooted in misogyny, a notion that women are inferior to men, which can be manifested in sexual discrimination, violence and sexual objectification of women and girls. It is historically true that for centuries, women had fewer rights in regards to property ownership and choice of marriage, solely dependent on their fathers, brothers and/or husband to provide for them. However, society has evolved and today, at least here in Canada, we pride ourselves to be a stronghold of equality in regards to ones’ gender and sexuality.

It seems, though, that some of the archaic notions in regards to women are still existent and are reinforced here in Canada by the Muslim community leaders, and Canadians actually accept these as cultural things and live it alone.

CIJnews previously reported that Shazim Khan, the Imam of al-Salaam mosque in Peterborough, Ontario, in a a speech at Abu Huraira Center in Toronto few years ago, explained that the wife must always respond to her husband’s call to bed unless she has a genuine reason.

This notion was taken further by Bilal Philips, the Canadian Muslim scholar, in his book “Contemporary Issues” from 2002, where he explained that the scenario of a wife being raped by her husband is generally irrelevant to Muslims. He stated that, even though in Western society if the husband desires sexual relations and she does not and he insists it is considered rape, “[in] Islam, a woman is obliged to give herself to her husband and he may not be charged with rape.”

Sheikh Musleh Khan, Director of Education at the Khalid bin Walid Mosque in Toronto, at his webinar ‘The Heart of The Home: The Rights And Responsibilities of A Wife’ in March 2013 also said that the wife should make herself available to her husband, after marriage has taken place and he has given the mahr [dowry], she should not withhold this right from her husband without a valid excuse (sickness, obligatory fasting etc.), and if she refuses without a valid reason then she has committed a major sin: “Even some scholars went as far as saying that even if it doesn’t feel right, or you’re just not in that emotional relationship you know it’s not the right manner, you’re not feeling that at that particular time, still try to make it happen, still try to force yourself even if you have to do that.”

York Muslim Students’ Association (MSA) held in campus (February 23-27, 2015) the annual event of Islam Awareness Week bearing the title “What Does The Qur’an Say?”

York MSA Female students wearing hijab and niqab, who manned the Info Booth at the Central Square of York University, handed out to students the book “Women in Islam & Refutation of some Common Misconceptions,” authored by the Saudi scholar Dr. Abdul-Rahman al-Sheha and printed by the Saudi Dawah organization Muslim World League (رابطة العالم الاسلامي). For Blogwrath’s report on the event clickhere.

The following are excerpts of the book: “Although beating of women is generally forbidden, Islam permits the beating of wives in a restricted and limited sense only as a final solution and acceptable valid reason when all else fails… Allah deals with the case of a wife who behaves immorally towards her husband’s rights. The treatment of this extremely sensitive issue comes in gradual stages… Third and final stage: Beating without hurting, breaking a bone, leaving black or blue marks on the body, and avoiding hitting the face or especially sensitive places at any cost. The purpose of beating her is only to discipline… This treatment is proved to be very effective with two types of women… The first type: Strong willed, demanding and commandeering women… The second type: Submissive or subdued women. These women may even enjoy being beaten at times as a sign of love and concern… Beating, according to the Islamic teachings, is listed as the last and final stage of disciplining methods.”

The other notion that some Canadian Muslim leaders are continuously reinforcing and justifying is that the man has a right of gheerah (protected jealousy) over his wife – the idea that a wife should be obedient to her husband at all times, not admitting anyone husband dislikes, ask her husband’s permission before leaving the house, before talking to other men or hold a job of her own.

This can be interpreted by feminists as another example of deeply seated misogyny, when a woman is seen as one of men’s possessions, instead of another human being, meant to serve her husband’s every wish and maintain his honour.

More on this issue at Wife “beating in Islam is a type of education”: Canadian Islamic perspective.

One of the points of Ms. Wynne’s campaign states: “Just because someone buys you dinner or a drink, doesn’t mean you owe them sex in return.” It could be also said then, that if someone provides for you because you are bound by the union of marriage it shouldn’t mean that you have to repay your husband by accepting rape and losing any control over your life.

CIJnews reached out to Premier Kathleen Wynne and the Government of Ontario, asking why Ontario Campaign to Stop Sexual Violence and Harassment does not address the issue of Canadian spiritual community leaders condoning what is perceived as sexual violence and prejudice against women, while using religion to justify it?

CIJnews also inquired whether this campaign was faith restricted and Canadians should just accept that some women will continue to face sexual violence and harassment because of the culture they were born in.

Anti-Pedophile SJW caught with child porn

‘Anti-paedophile’ and justice campaigner jailed for child porn

A justice campaigner and self-described ‘anti-paedophile’ has been jailed for possession of child pornography.

Jason Packer, 45, claimed the images, which were on a document named ‘Explosive Hidden Hancock File’, had been planted onto his computer and fought his prosecution until the very end of the £2,800 court case, The News reports.

The children in the images were between five and 10 and other extreme pornography also found on his computer included women being raped and killed.

The children’s entertainer, described by Recorder Frank Abbott as a ‘staunch campaigner’, was handed a a six-month sentence for the extreme images and a 12-month sentence for the child abuse, to run concurrently.

 

‘At the end of the day, before me is a man who purports to be a person against child pornography, a person who is someone who is against corruption of politicians, various types of child abuse, and has got images of the same on his computer,’ Mr Abbott said.

‘It seems to me there really isn’t any excuse whatsoever.’

Packer, of Balliol Road, Buckland, was also handed a sexual harm prevention order for 10 years restricting his internet use and he must sign the sex offenders’ register for 10 years.

Canadian Imam likens Trudeau to a King who helped Muslims and converted to Islam

http://en.cijnews.com/?p=17843

 

Canadian Sheikh Shaban Sherif Mady (شعبان شريف ماضي), was a scholar at al-Azhar theological school in Egypt and served at the Ministry of Endowment and Ministry of Education of the Egyptian government. Today, he is the Imam of a Muslim congregation in Edmonton, Alberta which holds its Friday prayers at Glengarry Hall in Edmonton.

Shaban Sherif Mady dedicated his Friday sermon on December 18, 2015 to Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, whom he sees as the greatest ally of the Muslims. Trudeau was likened to “the Najashi”, the Christian King of Abyssinia in the 7th century AD, who is honoured in the Islamic history for the support and protection he provided to the Muslim emigrants who fled pagan Mecca and his persistent refusal to expel them while fending off the pressure and lure offered by Muhammad’s Meccan rival leadership. Later, according to the Islamic tradition, the Najashi King accepted Muhammad’s invitation to embrace Islam and became a Muslim.

The following is an excerpt of Shaban Sherif Mady’s sermon (originally in Arabic):

“Justin Trudeau – I call him today the Najashi of the current era. He hosted Muslims,honoured them, visited their mosques, greeted them for their holidays, and removed the suspicion that terrorism is related to Islam, honoured the Muslims, hosted the refugees.

“He is the Najashi of the current era. This is the title of my sermon that will appear on YouTube – Justin Trudeau Najashi of the current era…

“In Islam there are men, in the world there are men who helped the world with their wisdom, such as [Recep Tayyip] Erdoğan [President of Turkey] and Justin Trudeau.

“Salute to Justin Trudeau, O the Najashi of the current era. Thank you… This man is affable. This amiable man we call him the Najashi of the current era.

“Thank you for hosting our Muslims on behalf of this Canadian country which you run in the same way the Najashi ruled in ancient era our Muslims, who were oppressed andtortured [in Mecca].

“Thank you. Thanks you, O the Najashi of the current era… The world is happy to see people like Erdoğan and Trudeau. With people such as those the compassion is spread, the friendship is spread, the love is spread…”

In his Friday sermons in Edmonton during the years 2013-14, Shaban Sherif Mady said the following:

“O the courageous Palestinian people! Al-Quds (Jerusalem) will become the capital of the Islamic State, not of Palestine… Had it not been betrayal, all the territory of Europe was almost conquered from Andalus (Spain). This is the promise of the Prophet Mohammad. The victory will come… Then the Rightly-Guided Caliphate (Islamic State) will be established and it will follow the path of the Prophet (Mohammad). We will welcome it.”

“Why (the Muslim Brotherhood movement was designated as) a terrorist organization? Because it calls for the return of the Caliphate (Islamic State). If so, I’m an operative of the Muslim Brotherhood, I’m a terrorist… (O Allah) to those who want to harm Islam and the Muslims, make their animosity annihilate themselves, make them kill themselves, destroy them completely, annihilate them all, like you did to the peoples of A’d and Thamoud… O Allah, support all mujahideen in any place around the globe.”

“O Allah, support any mujaheed (jihadist) who raises the flag of Islam.”

“The secularism is always in a war against Islam and this conflict between the two still exists.”

“The [unmarried] adulterer and the [unmarried] adulteress will be flogged 100 times and their testimony will never be accepted by court.”
