The flabby, left-wing Toronto Star recently published a histrionic-laden piece concerning the mayoral bid of Faith Goldy, an alleged 'far right' activist. Putting aside the claims about Goldy, what is particularly interesting about this piece is the contrast between the language used to describe right-wing activists, and the language used to describe radical Islamic activists.
Let's look at some quotes from the article:
- Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing (and 'Progressive Conservative') Steve Clark told reporters, “I think we need to denounce things like that just across the board.”
- “She is a very, very dangerous person in our society,” said former Liberal premier Kathleen Wynne. “Her ideas, her actions are dangerous..."
Really? Dangerous? How many people has Faith Goldy killed, exactly? How many people has she threatened? Is she dangerous in comparison to Faisal Hussein, who shot up a cafe in the Danforth, targeting white women while sparing the life of a brown man deliberately?
Ironically, the Star quotes a Muslim leader:
- Ihsaan Gardee, executive director of the National Council of Canadian Muslims said “if Premier Ford truly wishes to create a ‘government for the people,’ then he must categorically reject the hateful and divisive ideas of those, like Ms. Goldy.”
Nothing says 'inclusive' like some of the distinctions in Islam or Judaism:
- the 'territory of war' (dar al-harb) and the 'territory of submission' (dar al-islam).
- believer (mumin) and unbeliever (kafir)
- jew and non-jew (goy, gentile)
Odd how none of the left wing virtue signallers ever bother to point out these rather obviously divisive notions.
In fact, Toronto imams have been caught preaching hatred towards Jews in mosques. The reaction of the left-wing Toronto Star? Excoriation? Strong language?
No, the Toronto Star rushed to an Imam's defence. Imam Ayman Elkasrawy was invited to learn about Jewish culture, to adopt more 'Canadian' values. The article went to great lengths to find excuses for his language, and even managed to slur the Jewish activist who leaked the info on the sermons. The groveling and appeasement was so obvious that the Jerusalem Post wrote a scathing article.
At no point did the Premier of Ontario come out and claim that Elkasrawy was a 'very very dangerous person' with 'dangerous ideas'. How odd, given that Goldy has not said anything comparable to what was contained in the videos of the Sermons.
There is a clear double standard here. When a Christian or European nationalist makes the most meek claims about maintaining Christianity as the dominant culture, or European people as the dominant ethnic group, they are excoriated at every opportunity. When an Islamic preacher makes divisive, hateful and inflammatory statements, his actions are either ignored or explained away quickly.
I'm not a fan of Goldy, as she appears to be one of those many Christians who puts Jewish culture and Jewish interests on a pedestal. (She also refuses to discuss the rather obvious Jewish role in promoting mass immigration into Western countries). She is, however, the only media figure in Canada willing to stand up and condemn the manner in which Canada's founding cultures have been swamped by third world immigration.
