City of Hamilton Anti-Islamophobia Drivel
The City of Hamilton is nothing but woke. Their roads are a total mess. They can’t maintain roads but they sure can traffic in White guilt and politically correct preaching. They have a website called Salam Hamilton. The site preaches “diversity”. Did we voters ever get a say before we were diversified? Of course, no.
Salam Hamilton – Anti-Islam)
Islamophobia
“Islamophobia is a fear, prejudice and hatred of Muslims that leads to provocation, hostility and intolerance by means of threatening, harassment, abuse, incitement and intimidation of Muslims and non-Muslims, both in the online and offline world. Motivated by institutional, ideological, political and religious hostility that transcends into structural and cultural racism, it targets the symbols and markers of being a Muslim.”
Salam Hamilton is a city-wide public education campaign co-organized by members of Muslim communities across Hamilton. Developed following direction by City Council in 2021 to pilot an inclusion campaign with a specific focus on anti-Islamophobia, Salam Hamilton balances celebration and awareness and is meant to educate, inform, and address issues of hate and intolerance. Focused on combatting racism, rooted in anti-oppression, this campaign is specifically centered on challenging Islamophobia and its very real impacts on the daily lives of Muslim residents in Hamilton.
“Salam means peace, and is a greeting used to bridge hearts, foster understanding, and cultivate a sense of kinship. In choosing the theme of ‘Salam’, the campaign planning group aims to embrace the spirit of inclusivity and compassion that defines both our city and the Islamic heritage.”
The City of Hamilton recognizes the rise of hate crimes, including those focused on the Muslim community, both within the municipality and across Canada in recent years. By naming Islamophobia, we continue to take active steps to counter the systemic marginalization of diverse Muslim communities in Hamilton and encourage all Hamiltonians to stand united against all forms of Islamophobia, racialized and gender-based violence as we collectively continue to work toward Hamilton being a city that is safe, welcoming and inclusive for all.
Stand “against all forms of Islamophobia”? Hell, no. At times, Islam has been a militant religion of conquest. What are now Spain and Portugal were dominated by Moslems for 700 years. Rampaging Ottoman Turkish Moslems were stopped at the gates of Vienna by Polish King John Sobieski as recently as 1683. As recently as the early 19th Century several million Europeans were kidnapped by Moslem marauders, raiding from the sea, who took them off to be slaves or sex slaves.
Islamophobia is a fear of Moslems. Sure, not all Moslems are the same; not all subscribe to a strategy of conquest; not all practise the Islamic programme to bring about ” world peace” (dar es Salaam) by having all knees bent to Allah (conversion to Islam). So, it’s only prudent and be cautious about Islam. Cautious and vigilant. As newcomers, THEY have to prove themselves.
