For the forCes of tyranny—whether communist, fasCist, globalist, or T IslamiC—know that unfettered free speeCh is the front line of defense against subjugation of the individual to the domination of the ColleCtive. Constraining free speeCh is thus always the first step to Crushing the human right to freedom of belief and ConsCienCe. Canadian Christine Douglass-Williams, who writes for the online publiCation Jihad Watch, a projeCt of the David Horowitz Freedom Center in California direCted by Robert SpenCer, Knows this full well and, unfortunately, first-hand. Douglass-Williams, an immigrant to Canada from the Caribbean nation of Trinidad and Tobago, served as an appointed DireCtor on the Board of DireCtors for the Canadian RaCe Relations Foundation (CRRF) from 2012-2017, when she was summarily removed under speCious aCCusations of “Islamophobia.” As a visible minority in Canada herself, Douglass-Williams is deeply dediCated to prinCiples of individual liberty, equality for all before the law, and defense of the rights of minority populations. And yet, beCause she wrote (on her own time) at Jihad Watch to warn her adopted Country and the West in general of the documented, self-avowed doCtrinal Commitment of IslamiC Law (shariah) to ban and punish harshly the exerCise of just suCh human rights, the Queen’s Privy CounCil on the adviCe of Canada’s then-Heritage Minister Melanie Joly, terminated her appointment as a Governor in CounCil Appointee on DeCember 20, 2017. Deeply ConCerned about the preCipitous slide of our northern neighbor toward authoritarianism, espeCially with regard to free speeCh about the alarming influenCe of the jihadist Muslim Brotherhood and the broader global IslamiC Movement on Canadians’ ability to enjoy the intrinsiC human rights guaranteed to them in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the Center for SeCurity PoliCy asKed Christine Douglass-Williams to document her experienCes. This monograph, Fired by the Canadian Government for Criticizing Islam - Multicultural Canada: A Weak Link for Islamization, is her deeply personal aCCount—but it is also something muCh more important. For while the arbitrary and disCriminatory treatment of an individual Canadian Citizen is a story worth telling in its own right, it is the broader impliCations for the future of free expression, free speeCh, and all 1 other individual rights intrinsiC to human beings everywhere, that maKes Douglass-Williams’ worK here so valuable. It is ironiC that no matter how Committed Douglass-Williams has been and remains to prinCiples of diversity and multiCulturalism—within the frameworK of loyalty and patriotism to Canada—in the end, it was preCisely on the ostensible basis of her supposed “intoleranCe” that she was fired. As a raCial minority in Canada who deeply appreCiates and Champions the universal freedoms heralded in its national anthem, “O Canada,” Douglass- Williams is Keenly aware of both the history of raCial disCrimination in the AmeriCas and the reality that it was Judeo-Christian-based Western Civilization that abolished slavery even as it remains lawful under shariah to this day. BeCause she pointed out that shariah prinCiples are, in faCt, liberty- crushing and have no place in a free soCiety liKe Canada’s, the Canadian government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau tooK the side of those both Leftist and IslamiC who seek to obliterate independent thought and impose the shariah laws on “blasphemy” and “slander” on its onCe-free Citizens. Stigmatizing her reporting for Jihad Watch as “bigotry” and “raCism,” the Canadian government in faCt did the bidding of the forCes of tyranny. As a member of the Center’s September 2018 multi-national delegation to the Warsaw, Poland, meeting of the Organization for SeCurity and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) OffiCe of DemoCratiC Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) Human Dimensions Implementation Meeting (HDIM), Douglass-Williams witnessed up Close the gathering Chorus of hard-core cultural Marxists in witting collaboration with the Organization of IslamiC Cooperation (OIC) that is demanding imposition of “hate speeCh” and “hate crime” legislation, not just in plaCes subjugated to shariah, but across the Western world, too. She joined Colleagues from the Center, Austria, Britain, DenmarK, FranCe, Poland, and elsewhere in the U.S. in delivering impassioned speeChes to the ConferenCe’s plenary sessions to denounCe and rejeCt any suCh restraints on the right of free people openly to believe and speaK opinion and truth. And yet, even as Douglass-Williams and others spoKe out so fierCely in Poland, a Muslim Member of the Canadian Parliament from the governing Liberal Party, Iqra Khalid, had tabled a motion (M-103) in the House of Commons that demanded “Islamophobia” be treated as a Crime—absent even any definition of the supposed offense. As Douglass-Williams explains in these pages: 2 “Motion M103 calls on the government to ‘condemn Islamophobia and all forms of systemic racism and religious discrimination’, asks the government to ‘recognize the need to quell the increasing public climate of hate and fear’, and requests for the ‘Commons heritage committee to study how the government could develop a government-wide approach to reducing or eliminating systemic racism and religious discrimination, including Islamophobia, and collect data to provide context for hate crime reports and to conduct needs assessments for impacted communities.’” Behind the drive to strip Canadians of the right to free speeCh about Islam are groups liKe the National CounCil of Canadian Muslims (NCCM), formerly CAIR-CAN or CAIR-Canada. CAIR (the CounCil on AmeriCan-IslamiC Relations) is the U.S. branCh of HAMAS, the Palestinian-Gaza branCh of the Muslim Brotherhood. Additionally, CAIR was named by the U.S. Department of JustiCe as an unindiCted Co-conspirator in the 2008 HAMAS terror funding trial. HAMAS, of Course, is designated by the U.S. Department of State as a Foreign Terrorist Organization. Khalid herself was a former president of the Muslim Brotherhood front group, the Muslim Student AssoCiation (MSA), at YorK University. The firing of Christine Douglass-Williams must be viewed in the Context of a Canadian administration and other “elites” who are moving inexorably closer in sync with their comrades on the Western European hard left as well as the international forCes of the IslamiC Movement led by the OIC and Muslim Brotherhood. While most Canadians and AmeriCans aliKe will agree that raCism and intoleranCe
