Al-Qaida linked Jihadists have taken over Syria; in Afghanistan, the Taliban have imposed strict Islamic restrictions on women … now forbidden treatment in hospitals or to even have their voices heard in public; while in Canada, the UK and Europe, Jihadists have stepped up their attacks on not just Jews and Jewish community centers and synagogues, but Christians as well.
In Germany last week, an Islamic “refugee” was arrested and charged with planning an ISIS-supporting attack on a Christmas market. (Read the details here: https://europeanconservative.com/articles/news/german-police-foil-planned-islamist-terror-attack-on-augsburg-christmas-market/.)
Three weeks ago, four Christians were massacred by Islamists in Nigeria (https://www.persecution.org/2024/11/15/4-dead-after-muslim-extremists-attack-christian-farming-community/ ), just the latest in a slew of Jihadist violence aimed at Christians in Muslim countries.
And in Canada, anti-Semitic attacks on Jewish Canadians by Jihadist Muslims, their anti-Israel friends/supporters on college campuses, in politics and even government have become so frequent (with almost no consequences) that in several communities, Jews are living with fear they had not experienced since the dark days of the Second World War.
Weeks ago, I noted that, thanks to the Trudeau government’s immigration/refugee policies, the number of Muslims in Canada now topped 1.7 million, compared to about 490,000 Jews …and I speculated that the increasngly desperate Trudeau/Liberals would sacrifice their traditonally solid Jewish votes for more Muslim ones.
Hasn’t anyone noticed how the Trudeau Liberal government has offered lip service but done very little in the face of Islamc and even terrorist–supporting violence in Canada and now votes regularly to support one-sided anti-Israel resolutions at the United Nations?
Coincidence? I don’t believe so! And nor do many others…
This is scary and should be sickeniug to all decent Canadians: https://www.timesofisrael.com/264-year-old-montreal-jewish-community-fears-antisemitism-becoming-the-new-normal/.
What I believe is happening is that Western democracies … Canada, the UK and some European nations … are now paying the price for years of warm and generous welcoming of millions of Islamic refugees and immigrants from the Middle East (Palestinians, Iraqis, Syrians, Lebanese, Egyptians) and even from Africa.
At some point, the compromised, activist media (especially Al Jazeera, the BBC and the CBC) will have to answer for pushing the Western democracies (never other Islamc countries) to take more and more Muslim immigrants/refugees … thereby impacting …even compromising … the ethnic, religious, cultural values of several Western nations.
Political jihadism is now a reality … and Western democracies MUST confront it!
Just take a look at those socieities where the media targeted day after day with heart-jerking propaganda urging Western countries to take in …without ANY limit … Islamic refugee/illegal immigrants without EVER raising questions about why Muslim states were not.
The good news is that most have appreciated that welcome mat and tried/succeeded in settling into their new homes/society and have contributed to our society.
But sadly, too many …far too many … brought their traditional cultural, religious and violence-prone hatreds with them ..and now are increasingly acting them out … openly and with increasibng success.
That should sound the alarm for all of us!
Because what they are promoting are not just anti-Israel or anti-Jewish ideas, beliefs, demand and actions …but anti-Canadian, anti-democratic, anti-Judeo/Christian values as well.
Our Western democratic principles, values and way of life is now clearly under threat.
Hasn’t anyone noticed how, at the United Nations (and all its associated agencies and bodies) the 57 Islamic nations have compromised, by pursuing a Jihadist agenda, the integrity and thus effectiveness of the world body?
Just look at the DOZENS of anti-Israel resolutions and condemnations passed and handed down … even criminal charges against its leader(s) …. while totally ignoring the Muslim dictatorships and murderous regimes and leaders (Iran, Afghanistan, Syria, Sudan) who have tortured, killed, even gassed their own populations.
Why not a single ICC arrest warrant against a single LIVING Islamic terrorist leader of Hamas, Islamic Jihad or Hezbollah? Why hasn’t there been outrage that the ICC has never issued an arrest warrant for Bashar Al-Assad, whose regime was responsible for the deaths (torture, murder, bombing gassing) of more than 100,000 Syrians?
Jihadists clearly have the UN in their grip!
And as we approach this Christmas/Chanukah we in Canada and other Western nations must start looking to leaders willing to stand up for those traditional values and principles that attracted so many immigrants and refugees in the first place …
And not allow the Jihadists … or their allies on campuses and in politics/government … to continue to eat away and destroy our society … all under the guise of giving in to “tolerance” and “accomodation”… until they succeed, and then take it ALL away!
Merry Christmas, Happy Chanukah and a Happy and FREE New Year … for ALL those who still cherish and stand up against the Jihadists and for the Judeo-Christian beliefs and standards that built our great society.
