An imam prayed, “O Allah! Count their number; slay them one by one and spare not one of them”. A new report funded by the Canadian government claims that his critics are Islamophobes. The targets of the report include the David Horowitz Freedom Center.
The Canadian Islamophobia Industry Research Project, funded by a grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, was set up to “create profiles of key public, media and political figures as well as organizations who produce and distribute Islamophobic ideologies and propaganda”.
A government funding a project to create “profiles” of political opponents is bad enough, but this project also includes antisemitic conspiracy theories and defenses of calls to kill Jews.
The “Canadian Islamophobia Industry: Mapping Islamophobia’s Ecosystem in the Great White North” report is out and its unhinged claims tie Jews, Christians, Hindus, and even “Muslim dissidents” together as part of a vast Islamophobic conspiracy aligned with white nationalists.
The report slurs David Horowitz as an “Islamophobia kingpin” and the “godfather of the anti-Muslim movement”, Daniel Pipes as the “grandfather of Islamophobia” and Gatestone founder Nina Rosenwald as the mother of “anti-Muslim hate”. Not only are these despicable lies, but the report unintentionally demonstrates how the entire concept of Islamophobia had been invented by Islamists to silence critics who point out their violence and hate.
Islamists began producing “Islamophobia industry” reports to shut down counterterrorism groups by cutting off their funding. We’re always their target and even when the report is coming out of Canada, the David Horowitz Freedom Center is accused of functioning as a “key institution in the U.S. Islamophobia industry”.
That means we expose Islamist violence and hate. And that’s what we’re doing here.
“Canadian Islamophobia Industry”, backed by a Canadian government funding institute, is the work of Jasmin Zine, a Pakistani sociology professor at Wilfrid Laurier University, who has been accused of antisemitsm and who has blamed Jews for Islamophobia.
What is Zine’s definition of Islamophobia?
Her report features Ayman Elkasrawy as an example of “the Islamophobia industry in action”.
Elkasrawy was a Toronto Imam who lost his university job after videos showed him leading prayers urging, “O Allah! Purify Al-Aqsa mosque from the filth of the Jews!” and “O Allah! Count their number; slay them one by one and spare not one of them”.
Zine (pictured above) contends that the hateful cleric was actually an innocent victim of the Islamophobia industry which had mistranslated his remarks.
“What “Elkasrawy said was not to ‘purify Al-Aqsa Mosque from the filth of the Jews,’ but rather to ‘cleanse Al- Aqsa Mosque from the Jews’ desecration of it,’” she argues.
The alternate translation comes from another “Islamophobia researcher” who claimed that the Arabic word used by the imam could also mean “besmirch,” “defile,” and “impurity” or “filth”.
According a report funded by the Canadian government only an Islamophobe would think that’s antisemitic.
What about “slay them”?
According to Zine’s report, “experts clarified that Elkasrawy’s alleged call to ‘slay them one by one’ was not a reference to Jews or Al-Aqsa Mosque but was taken from another part of his supplication made on behalf of suffering in the Muslim world.” As if that makes the killing better.
The call to mass murder comes right before the one about cleansing the filth of the Jews. It begins with a call to “humiliate the polytheism and polytheists.” In Islamic theology that can refer to anyone from Hindus to Christians and Jews: depending on the interpretation.
Objecting to genocidal calls to “slay” people “without sparing “one of them” is islamophobic. No wonder also Zine attacks the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s definition of antisemitism and the Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center for Holocaust Studies.
The imam was accused of previously retweeting a message about Hamas stating that, “Events in Gaza, no matter how you [Muslim] disagree with the resistance, they are Muslims and their enemy is an infidel who doesn’t believe in Allah.” Others have documented a history that appears to include support for terrorism against non-Muslims and cheering an Al Qaeda group.
Researchers, journalists and activists who have pointed this out are ‘Islamophobes’ too.
Zine’s report, funded by the Canadian government, is filled with Jewish targets, alongside Christians, Hindus and even Muslims who are willing to speak out against Islamic terrorism.
While the report claims to focus on an imaginary “Canadian Islamophobia Industry”, it spends much of its time attacking American Jewish conservatives and their organizations including Horowitz and Robert Shillman: who is accused of funding “a number of pro-Israel groups” as well as providing crucial support for the work of the David Horowitz Freedom Center.
Zine takes special care to note that the anti-terrorist figures whom it’s attacking are Jewish. For example, Ezra Levant is described as “Canada’s Jewish Steve Bannon wannabe”.
The report hatefully defames Gatestone Institute’s founder Nina Rosenwald, claiming that she “has used her wealth to forge alliances between the American pro-Israel lobby and the anti-Muslim network”.
Gatestone has over a dozen Muslim authors. Zine’s report suggests that four of these Muslims are “Islamophobes”. Her definition of Islamophobe appears to be anyone who doesn’t support murder.
Is the Canadian government aware that it’s funding the fight against “Muslim Islamophobia”?
Other Jewish targets of the antisemitic report on Islamophobia include Aish, a Jewish religious group that runs dozens of synagogues around the world and focuses on religious outreach.
What did Aish do to fall afoul of the Canadian Islamophobia Industry report?
Zine attacks Aish for taking part in a “United Against Terrorism” event by Jews, Christians and Hindus. According to her, this united condemnation of terrorism by “diverse groups” shows the “nascent development of Islamophobia networks in Canada.”
Diversity is not our strength anymore, it’s evidence of Islamophobia.
It’s impossible to escape the impression that while Jasmin Zine really hates Jews, she considers everyone except Islamists to be ‘Islamophobes’. And she traffics these smears into academic sources by describing people of all races and religions as allied with “white nationalists”.
Her report even claims that “white nationalists” and Jews are coming together due to their “their shared Islamophobic views”.
Zine’s pretext for attacking the David Horowitz Freedom Center is that, in her own lying words, “Canadian anti-Islam activists and ideologues have written for DHFC’s Front Page Mag, including Raheel Raza and Christine Douglass-Williams.”
Raza is a Muslim and the author of “Their Jihad, Not My Jihad: a Muslim Canadian woman speaks out”. Zine follows the familiar pattern of describing Muslim opponents of Islamist groups as “anti-Islam”. That’s a smear that tells us far more about her agenda than it does about Raza.
During her report’s extended attack on Christine Douglass-Williams, a courageous opponent of Islamic brutality and theological tyranny, Zine fails to note her own ugly confrontation at a 2019 conference during which she accused Williams, who is Black, and assorted Jewish people at the event of harboring “thinly veiled white supremacist views”.
Jasmin Zine’s views are not especially subtle or hidden even in her own report. A subsection claims that “most Islamist movements are non-violent and focus on community and societal development through political and social engagement” and tries to whitewash the Muslim Brotherhood’s Sayyid Qutb by putting forward views that he “did not condone violence but believed that Islamists were justified in using force to protect their religion”.
Qutb, a favorite of Jihadists, was a deranged bigot who claimed that “jazz is the American music, created by Negroes to satisfy their primitive instincts”, “the Jews are behind materialism, animal sexuality” and urged Muslims to “plant the seeds of hatred, disgust, and revenge in the souls of these children. Let us teach these children from the time their nails are soft that the white man is the enemy of humanity, and that they should destroy him at the first opportunity.”
This is the sort of hateful evil that the Canadian government has decided to whitewash.
Is the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council comfortable with defending racists as well as antisemites? That is a question that Canadian activists and officials ought to ask it.
The David Horowitz Freedom Center has regularly been the target of “Islamophobia industry” reports produced by Islamists trying to silence their critics. And I have reviewed many of them over the years. But Canadian Islamophobia Industry is unique in its utter shamelessness, its barely disguised antisemitism and determination to whitewash even the worst forms of hatred.
That a Canadian federal government research agency funded a defense of the Muslim Brotherhood and of violent calls to kill Jews speaks volumes about what’s going on in Ottawa.
Sounds like this current Canadian government is striving to replace the Southern Poverty Law Center as to go place for that far left jive on all things anti-West. At least, the funding isn’t going to park off Florida…
We’ve got our own entangled gov, hate investigation groups, media and academia complex in America.
A government department produced a report.
This is about all government departments ever produce, reports that are usually unread by anyone.
I commend Daniel for having the strength of character to read it.
Thank you for giving me the reason David Horowitz censored my comments on another of his sites. I had the gall to mention a fact of Islam that is straight out of the Koran, that Muslims practice taquiyya. I didn’t realize he was targeted as an “islamaphobe”. Basically Ms Zine is showing Islam to be the hypocritical, insane ideology that it is. It degrades Judaism and Christianity when in fact, most of its tenets came directly from Judaism and Christianity.. Though this is true, only part of the Jewish laws are taught, because Islam leaves out the parts about the grace that is part of the Torah restrictions. For example, the death penalty in Torah was rarely given, because there had to be 2 witnesses who gave the exact same testimony (without colluding), and that hardly ever happened. Islam left out the part about requiring 2 witnesses with the exact same testimony. And even with such a Jewish basis, Islam calls Jews pigs and infidels.
Anyone sick of the Muslims and their constant Islamophobia garbage?
This is their Modus Operandi. the Communist & Nazi’s & not forgetting the Islamists swears by it.
“A lie told once remains a lie but a lie told a thousand times becomes the truth”

Admitting, tolerating Islam is national suicide.
A majority of Albertans want to form an independent country separate from Canada. There are many reasons for this. One of them is the Marxist/fascist/regressive cabal in central Canada that rules the country. Trudeau and his thugs, like all totalitarians, are anti-Semites. To them, we, not just our Jewish countrymen, are cattle. In fact, they rule like Islam dictates: if you’re not with us in our beliefs, you are our enemy, good only as slaves, to be spat upon, tortured, and lied to and about. Evil stalks our land as it does the United States. Understand one thing: this evil has rooted itself into the fabric of Canada, has poisoned the entire land, and unless those of us who love liberty take concerted action, it will eventually, as it gains more power, murder all who object to its tyranny.
I wish we could trade california for Alberta!
Where the Left goes, evil soon follows. And we would do far better with Alberta than Portland, Seattle and the Bay Area.
So, let me get this straight–Canadians have to ‘put up with’ Fidel’s little boy as the PM for about another three years, at least? And if the Marists have indeed ‘taken over’ Canada, Canada is now ‘gone’ and is but the precursor to what the United States will soon be like if the Marxists in our country get their way? These two sentences are stated as questions, but does anyone want to expound on this? I shudder at the thought to what the United States could soon become.
I recently listened to a Jordan Peterson podcast where he interviewed a veteran Canadian journalist. It was mentioned, under the parliamentary system in Canada, there can be a vote of no confidence and the ruling government can be disbanded. It appears the Canadian representatives have the same, or less, cajones as their American counterparts. No one dares become too vocal for fear of political reprisals.
THAT is why (to me) a guy like U. S. Representative Jim Jordan is so rare.
Trudeau, absolutely dangerous nut, aligned with WEF, made a pact with NDP Singh, to give him the majority he needs to avoid a losing vote of no confidence, so he is in like Flint and as long as he keeps the minor mutt happy, will remain the destroyer in chief, islamacizing Canada and going more WEF global, with no fear of any repercussions A SHOCKING deadly dangeorus SITUATION.
Going to be a lot longer than 3 more years
Last election
Conservatives 33.7% of the vote win 119 seats
Liberals 32.6% of the vote win 160 seats
Elections here are rigged…. Along with unquestioning devotion of pretty much all the media, trudeau is Emperor of Canada as long as he wishes
Canada goes Socialist and my late father wanted to move us to Canada at one time i am happy mom opposed it
Mothers usually know best–not always–but usually.
“Islamaphobia” is a pretext to avoid discussing who is responsible for terror against Americans Israelis and anyone who demonstrates that Islam is not a religion of peace
“You noticed we’re killing you”
“This is the sort of hateful evil that the Canadian government has decided to whitewash.”
The danger is wider and bigger than just Islamists and their socialist allies whitewashing the content and essence of Islam which means SUBMISSION, the submission of the individual and his individual rights to religious theocracy.
The whitewashing is also happening with Christians and the brutal history of Christianity. Many Christians are now blaming the Dark Ages on Islam. There are Jews who are also buying into the Christian whitewashing of Christian history. As if Christianity had nothing to do with the Christian LEGAL persecution of the Jews for 2,000 years. The German Lutherans were staunch supporters of Hitler and his Nazis.
The Jews have whitewashed the events of the Maccabee guerilla war against reason, rationality, and Western civilization, which is the essence of Hellenization, and celebrate Hanukkah as freedom fighters fighting for freedom. When in fact the Maccabees were the Taliban of their time, fighting to re-establish religious tyranny and theocracy.
The socialists of course are always whitewashing the history of socialism or claiming “Real socialism has never been tried”. Just like the Muslims claim “Real Islam is a religon of peace”.
If we wish to save America and the West, all of us, of every religion, philosophy, or ideology, must stop whitewashing the facts of history and the facts of reality. We must embrace reason and reality.
This must include the whitewashing of atheistic materialism which is much more prominent in the bloodiest of all centuries, the twentieth century. The atheistic materialism of evolutionary theory gave rise to the two totalitarian systems of Marxism and Nazism.. The whitewashing of the moral impact of the basis of these two socialist systems, both of which were anti-Christian, will lead to greater moral and spiritual decline in the west. It is clear that any form of atheism is an inadequate bases for a a healthy society. All atheistic moral systems reject the ten commandments as a whole, in order to make up a moral system for the purposes of self justification. The end is a gradual but accelerating moral decline. There is such a thing as moral order and there is also moral chaos. Atheistic materialism leads to the latter. The question now is whether or not the west is beyond the point of no return. It is time to read and ponder the prophecy of Jesus Christ concerning the end of the age. It is found in Matthew 24.
Hellenic culture: multiple gods, homosexuality the main form, women second class citizens, useful only for breeding.
So I can see what you are partial to.
The Canadian government has turned evil
The pathologies that afflict the West hatched in academia that an activist professoriate has spent many decades incubating while mal-educating their produce. Anti-Zionism was always thinly disguised anti-Semitism. The political leftist hegemony has adopted that as well as strangely adopting a kind of Islamophilic position along with the pathologies of post modern nihilism included CRT, gender delusion ( Ironically confirming what Muslims must think of as a degraded infidel culture ripe for Islamic ascendancy), green theocracy, censorship, and the easy transition from the goals of socialism to technocratic fascism (WEF). Canada, being at the forefront of western civilizational vandalism and decline, is governed by a leftist hegemony in Parliament led by an entitled but calculating authoritarian whose immigration and identity politics have allied with with Islamists as their special people while conservatives and libertarians are held in contempt. See how he defamed the peaceful trucker’s protesting the loss of bodily autonomy and civil rights supposedly incorporated in his father’s intentionally mercurial Constitution. It’s all a result of the “march through the institutions”. What better way to finish off western civilization than to foster the return of the seventh century.
Leftists do NOT support freedom and liberty.
Canada needs better leadership then the marble headed pea brain running them now and so dose America
Islam is not a religion of peace. Remember, it’s not in Ishmael’s nature to dwell peacefully with Isaac. The day after Israel declared its independence on May 14, 1948, the Arab armies of the neighboring states invaded Israel determined to strangle the new nation at birth. The attempt ended in dismal failure.
The word of God has remarkable accuracy, and described Ishmael’s character and outlined his descendant’s history. “He will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him.” Genesis 16:12. This hatred has been the dominate theme of Arab politics and propaganda for a long time. This feud won’t be settled until the battle of Armageddon when the Lord himself will come down to deliver His people.
Zechariah 12 2-3 Behold, I will. make Jerusalem a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall besiege both against Judah and against Jerusalem. And in that day I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth shall be gathered against it.
The strategy employed by the Democratic party being synonymous with public education and co. media in the U.S. has the same insidious roots of fascists and communists during their transition to enlightenment. Antisemitism always seemed to follow as well as the elimination of religion from the public square. It appears the liberals are on schedule for CHANGE unless more people speak up. I lost my fake friends a while ago.
Very Well observed Bob.
It is a deadly war of the parasitic unproductive payed bt the money of the productive, against the 80% of the population who share productivity, law-abidingnes and spiritual orientation.
The productive people should easily win this war
Well, basically, what we are dealing with is Pagan cultures. Abortion, homosexuality, pediphilia, drag queens, violence, mental illness, and every kind of depravity that destroys society.
“Not only are these despicable lies, but the report unintentionally demonstrates how the entire concept of Islamophobia had been invented by Islamists to silence critics who point out their violence and hate.”
Exactly! When will the world stop appeasing these barbarians?
The sad thing is that none of this is shocking or even surprising. I believe there was a time when all Western governments would have understood that those who know run around claiming Islamophobia exists were pushing for barbarism to win over civilization and reacted appropriately. Now, most Western governments support the barbarians. This doesn’t end well.
