Post on "Toronto Muslims" Site: We're The Numero Uno Victims Because We Say We Are

When it comes to "hate crimes" in Canada, the most recent stats show that, of all religious groups, Jews are most frequently targeted. (The stats don't reveal who's committing these crimes, but one highly doubts it's only punks and "Nazis".) And yet here's a fellow on the Toronto Muslims site whining about the rise in "Islamophobia," and equating the Canadian government with--wait for it--the Taliban:

The number of hate crimes reported to Canadian police rose 42 per cent in 2009 on top of a 35 per cent increase the previous year, according to Statistics Canada.

Fifty-four per cent were motivated by race or ethnicity, 29 per cent by religion, and 13 per cent by sexual orientation.

The largest increase was in hate crimes motivated by religion.

The bullying of Muslim has deteriorated to the point that a high school in Toronto was the subject of discussion in the media for allowing its Muslim students to conduct their weekly prayer at its cafeteria.

As Fathima Cader and Sumayya Kassamali in their article "Islamophobia in Canada: A Primer," stated:

In July 2011, the Christian Heritage Party (CHP), the Jewish Defence League (JDL), and Canadian Hindu Advocacy (CHA) picketed the Toronto District School Board (TDSB), because it had allowed Muslim students to pray at Valley Park Middle School. The news went from a fringe story about extremist racists 'fighting the Islamization' of the TDSB to front-page headlines when the media reported that the prayers were gender-segregated.

As the two authors have indicated, in 2010, Quebec proposed Bill 94, which would deny essential government services, public employment, education, and health care to Muslim women who wear niqab.

The harassment of Muslims in Europe is far worse than in North America even though things are deteriorating here as well. The Canadian government had stepped up its campaign against Islamic clothing, banning women from wearing the full face covering known as niqab when taking citizenship oath.

As the Taliban claim to know what is best for women and dictate to them what to wear, the government of Canada, which was supposed to protect the choice of women, is acting in the same manner by claiming to know what is best for them...

Is that what it's doing? And here I was thinking that it wanted to impress upon those immigrants whose misogyny is a function of their sharia mindset that here in Canada chicks are equal to men, and that masking your women, thereby depriving them of a public persona, is not a Canadian value (although it is most definitely a Taliban one).

Shows how much I know.

Update: The kvetcher mentions "the harassment of Muslims in Europe," but what about the harassment by Muslims in Europe?

Update: Ahead of French elections, Muslims feel like scapegoats...
