House of Commons passes anti-Islamophobia motion M-103

Canada’s parliament has approved M-103, a non-biding motion that calls on the government to “condemn Islamophobia and all forms of systemic racism and religious discrimination,” by a margin of 201-91.

The contentious motion, which sparked nationwide demonstrations and protests by both supporters and opponents in early March, also calls on the government to take steps to “quell the increasing public climate of hate and fear.”

Wow hey, another reason to hate the current government. I'm sure this will do fuck all but make trouble

Isn't islamophobia, racism and religious discrimination already condemned?

So are we not aloud to critizis islam now?

I guess they'll have to change their national anthem.

What are the specifics of the law

Where do they draw the line in legal terms between what delineates rational vs irrational fear of Islam

That's not what condemn means.

They make no legal distinction between criticism of Islam and it's philosophy and discrimination against muslims, bu instead puts it under the nebulous term "islamophobia".

Saying the Qu'Ran has violent passages that encourage people to kill in the name of Allah is a valid criticism. Emphasizing criticism of the philosophy could be construed as encouraging hatred of and discriminating against it's adherents and thus Islamophobia which was the real issue with the proposed law.

It's since been watered down >>124653

>THE TRUE NORTH STRONG AND FREE*
>*so long as muslims are shielded from criticism

Whatever, Canada is a shitty country anyways that governs based on feelings instead of running a country.

All good governments make decisions based on feelings. Human beings are emotional creatures; trying to govern them without acknowledging their feelings would be like trying to drive a car while pretending the steering wheel doesn't exist.

Has anyone got the actual text for M-103? I want to see what the paper defines islamaphobia to be exactly because I'm finding nothing other than "Combating islamaphobia as well as all racial and religious discrimination".

Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't Canada already have those sorts of anti-discrimination laws in the first place? M-103 is going to end either doing JACK SHIT about islamaphobia or it's going to instill some whack job blasphemy law or something.

What don't I understand? Canada already has hate speech laws.

Will this stop another Mosque getting shot up?

>Mosque getting shot up?
It'll probably increase the chances.

>What are the specifics of the law
Its literally not even a law. Its basically just a bunch of politicians getting together and saying "Islamaphobia is bad, mmkay?"
But of course people have to make a mountain out of a molehill in order to generate outrage, gotta keep the trumplrinas angry and distracted

This is not a new law. It's just a motion to have parliament issue a condemnation of islamophobia. It really shouldn't have been such a big deal.
