Carney Says Moslem Values Are Canadian Values: NO, They’re Not!
BARCLAY: No Mr. Carney, not all ‘Muslim values’ are ‘Canadian values’
‘Orthodox Islam inherently contradicts and rejects quintessential liberal values, and the democratic beliefs on which Canada’s system of government is built.’

On June 6, not six weeks after winning the 2025 Canadian general election, newly-elected Prime Minister Mark Carney joined the Muslim community to celebrate Eid al-Adha, where he proudly declared that “Muslim values are Canadian values.”
However, despite Mr. Carney’s attempt to encompass all of Canada under a loving embrace of Sharia law and Mohammedan tenets, Canada’s foundational values are utterly antithetical to the fundamental ideology of the Quran.
In fact, orthodox Islamic ideology inherently contradicts and rejects various quintessential liberal values, along with the democratic beliefs on which Canada’s system of government is built.
First, orthodox Islamic ideology overwhelmingly rejects the premise that every person has an inalienable right to free speech, and proactively seeks to execute anyone who criticizes Islam or Muhammad. It also violently rejects any separation of church and state, demanding instead that all political states reflect Sharia law.
Further, orthodox Islamic ideology eschews personal equality and disavows any notion that all people deserve identical human rights regardless of differences such as religion or gender. It also repudiates the idea that individual liberty and self-determination are sacrosanct or inviolable.
In addition, orthodox Islamic ideology openly rejects religious freedom and says in the Quran of non-Muslims, “Those who disbelieve…will be in the Fire of Hell, to stay there forever. They are the worst of ‘all’ beings.” It explicitly exhorts righteous Muslims to “Kill them wherever you come upon them… that is the reward of the disbelievers.”
More importantly, as orthodox Islamic ideology rejects liberal democratic foundations and calls on its followers to take immediate, violent action against unbelievers and profane societies, it is impossible for orthodox Islam and its fundamentalist cohorts to coexist peacefully within a democratic society.
In truth, several European Union EU states have become fraught with insecurity and subjected to repeated terrorist attacks precisely because they have attempted to integrate orthodox Islamic ideology. As a result, they have unfortunately become subject to Islamic fundamentalism’s constant violent struggle against liberal ideology and democratic political thought throughout the modern era.
For example, from 2013–2024, Germany endured 19 major Islamic terrorist attacks, with innocent people murdered annually. France suffered 53 attacks during the same period, with nearly 30 people killed each year. Incredibly, from 2013–2024, France experienced more terrorist attacks than Iran, and more terrorist-related deaths than Algeria, Uganda, and Tanzania combined.
Even Canada has seen a rise in Islamic terrorism, as a result of the Liberal government’s flirtations with Islamic fundamentalism and its craven desire to secure Muslim votes. Since Oct. 7, 2023, “nearly a dozen terrorism-related incidents [have occurred] in Canada or abroad involving Canadians.” According to RCMP data, “The number of terrorism charges laid in Canada jumped 488% last year,” and “Canadian police have foiled six terrorist plots in the last 12 months alone.” Canada’s Integrated Terrorism Assessment Centre (ITAC) has recently warned the government that the country may “experience a lone-wolf terror attack soon.”
Despite Prime Minister Carney’s effort to recast Canadian society as an offshoot of Islamic values, the liberal-democratic values that define Canada are diametrically opposed to Islam’s foundational precepts.
Orthodox Islamic ideology inherently contradicts liberal values, as well as the democratic ideology that underpins the Canadian constitution. In fact, the contradiction is so stark that in the long term, orthodox Islamic ideology and democratic systems cannot coexist.
More importantly, if the Liberal government continues to instill Islamic values into the foundation of the Canadian state, Canada will ultimately be forced to mirror that ideology — and abandon the liberal-democratic principles that have underpinned and enabled the nation’s success since its founding.(Western Standard, June 18, 2025)

Why Cultural Compatibility Must Be A Necessary Immigration Criterion: Look at the Results of These Moslem Opinion Polls

TheReligionofPeace.com Muslim Opinion Polls A “Tiny Minority of Extremists”? “Strive hard against the unbelievers and the hypocrites and be Have you heard that Islam is a peaceful religion because most Muslims live peacefully and that only a “tiny minority of extremists” practice violence? … Neither does it explain why religious violence is largely endemic to Islam, despite the tremendous persecution of religious minorities in Muslim countries. In truth, even a tiny minority of “1%” of Muslims worldwide translates to 15 million believers – which is hardly an insignificant number. However, the “minority” of Muslims who approve of terrorists, their goals, or their means of achieving them is much greater than this. In fact, it isn’t even a true minority in some cases, depending on how goals and targets are defined. The following polls convey what Muslims say are their attitudes toward terrorism, al-Qaeda, Osama bin Laden, the 9/11 attacks, violence in defense of Islam, Sharia, honor killings, and matters concerning assimilation in Western society. The results are all the more astonishing because most of the polls were conducted by organizations with an obvious interest in “discovering” agreeable statistics that downplay any cause for concern.
