Canada: Former Mayoral candidate charged with ‘hate crime’ for social media posts critical of Islam

38

Under Trudeau, Canada continues to be subsumed by islamization. Brutal.

I don’t know what he said and I don’t care.

This is why I have long opposed “hate crime” legislation. It criminalizes thought. Who decides what’s good and what’s forbidden? The government? CAIR? Your Muslim neighbor with hair-trigger sensibilities?

Man tied to $1K reward for videos of Muslim students praying charged with hate crime

Kevin J. Johnston released on bail, set to appear in court again in September

By Shanifa Nasser, CBC News Posted: Jul 24, 2017:

Earlier this year, Johnston, who runs an online publication called Freedom Report, posted a YouTube video offering a $1,000 reward for recordings of Muslim students at Peel Region schools “spewing hate speech during Friday prayers.”

The video sparked concern among Muslim families and led the Peel District School Board, which serves Mississauga, and the Peel Region communities of Brampton and Caledon, to issue a memo to its administrators, cautioning them to be “extra vigilant” and reminding them that personal recording devices can only be used in schools for educational purposes, as directed by staff.

CBC Toronto has been unable to reach Johnston for comment. His voicemail message states that both his YouTube channel and Twitter account have been “suspended.”

“Yes, you heard correctly. My YouTube channel was taken down,” Johnston says in a video posted on July 18 to the YouTube channel “Freedom Report.”

Kevin Johnston charged with hate crime

By Fatima Syed, The Star, July 24, 2017

The charge comes after a lengthy investigation into numerous incidents regarding Johnston’s activity on social media

Peel police say they have charged a Mississauga man with one count of wilful promotion of hatred.

Kevin J. Johnston, 45, has been associated with a number of websites, including the Mississauga Gazette. He is scheduled to appear at Brampton court on Monday.

Peel police said the charge “stems from a lengthy investigation into numerous incidents reported to police, involving Kevin J. Johnston and concerns information published on various social media sites.”

Last year, a story published on the Mississauga Gazette site resulted in Mayor Bonnie Crombie filing a hate-crime complaint with Peel police. It was not immediately clear if that complaint prompted Monday’s charges.

For police to lay a hate-related criminal charge, a criminal offence must have occurred – such as an assault, damage to property — and hate or bias toward a victim must have motivated the criminal offence.

At Queen’s Park, Attorney General Yasir Naqvi said the government “takes allegations of hate crime very seriously. Ontario prosecutes these cases vigorously, where there is a reasonable prospect of conviction.

“In a multicultural and inclusive province like Ontario, the promotion of hatred stands in direct opposition to our fundamental values of equality and diversity. Hate divides people and communities,” Naqvi said Monday.

The consent of the attorney general is required to lay hate-crime charges.

His office confirmed he received a formal request from Peel police to lay the charge of wilful promotion of hatred.

“Hate crimes are, by their very nature, serious offences because their impacts can be devastating, spreading from the individual, through the social fabric of our communities and society as a whole,” he said.

When will a muslim be charged with a hate crime against an identifiable minority when quoting the qur’an, which demands violence and hate against everyone except muslims.

Attorney General Yasir Naqvi, born in Pakistan, said “the promotion of hatred stands in direct opposition to our fundamental values of equality and diversity. Hate divides people and communities,”
“OUR” values?
“…between us and you enmity and hatred forever…” Koran 60:4, part of Islam’s rules.
See “Islam Instructs Hatred: Muslims Speak”, at Liberty GB:
https://libertygb.org.uk/news/islam-instructs-hatred-muslims-speak

It is Islam that divides people and communities.
“Muhammad (SAW) is the Messenger of Allah, and those who are with him are severe against disbelievers, and merciful among themselves.” – Koran 48:29, part of Islam’s rules.
“Allah’s curse be on the non-muslims” – Koran 2:89

There is no equality in Islam:
“You [muslims] are the best nation ever brought forth to men” – Koran 3:110, ditto
Non-muslims are “unclean” (9:28), “the vilest of beasts” (8:22), as “apes and pigs” (5:60), “the most despicable” (98:6).

An imam in Canada is currently being charged in connection with his call (quoting a hadith) to exterminate Jews. The outcome is awaited.

Well said, Michael. Ontario Attorney General Yasir Naq’s comments are an all too typical load of hypocrisy that afflicts Canada today. Consider this for nauseating drivel: “…the promotion of
hatred stands in direct opposition to our fundamental values of equality
and diversity. Hate divides people and communities.” The “equality” is a sham, the diversity simply drivel. All this being the case, Yasir Naq, liar, why are you not arresting hate-spouting imams and banning the Quran for hate-filled teachings? Your concern for hate speech is all too typically selective with rules for infidels and rules for Muslims.

Hate crime laws are only directed at the majority population = White Christians.

Hate crime laws do not apply to minority populations because they are declared by law to be a specially “protected minority.”

The present government of Canada is composed by islamists and their butt-kissing sub-idiots who don’t even reach the IQ level of a full idiot and sadly, this is happening in Europe too where burning a Bible is considered a “happening” and cartoons flushing it through the toilet is “art,” whilst doing the same with a Quran is prosecuted as “hate crime.”
Legalizing pot for recreational purposes was perhaps the reason why many young and old hippies voted for “prettyboy” Trudeau…
I assume they will be stoned next time there is a election scheduled and they go to vote for the spoilt brat again…

Turd-o only got 39.5 of the votes even after the guy named Hussein , the son of a Mohammedan that you elected not only once but twice , came to Canada to assist is co- religionist Jihadi Justin who was running last in a three way race.There are many patriotic organizations being formed in the country, stay tuned we will not go down without a fight . Also let me remind you my dear cousin that the Canadians committed themselves to ww11 two years before the US did, you never made your move until the bombing of pearl arbor, Eeh !

And a lot of American Citizens joined the Canadian Military and served long before Pearl Harbor. Eeh ! And a lot of American Citizens Served in other Commonwealth Militaries, long before Pearl Harbor. Eeh ! Didn’t the R.A.F. as well as the R.C.A.F, have recruiting offices for American Pilots in Vancouver, Winnipeg, and Montreal, long before Pearl Harbor ? Eeh ! Or weren’t a good number of American Citizens involved in the Battle of Britain, serving with Commonwealth Forces ? Eeh ! LET ME REMIND YOU IF I MAY ! Eeh !

You sound upset Ray, I was just responding to the insults directed at Canadians by your countryman, so what’s the problem ? I think we should unite our forces in combatting the forces of evil AKA Islam instead of getting at each others throat.

Juille, I’m not upset at all with your reply, only your foolishness in using the one sided retort of ” we Canadians entered WW2 in 1939, and you Yanks stayed out until after Pearl Harbor “. Both Canadians AND Americans have crossed the border to serve in the other Countries Wars, they always have, and always will. Canada wasn’t in a war with Communism when I left Newfoundland and joined the U.S. Army to go to Vietnam, ( as did several thousand other Canadians ) to fight against Communism. And my boyhood neighbor Mr Curtis, (an American Citizen at the time) wasn’t a Canadian when he came North in the second week of September, 1939, to fight against the Nazi’s., in his war !

“Hate Crimes,” what a great way for the statist to control people. Careful what you wish for lefties, this will boomerang back to you at some point. The old karma thing. Every time I read about a supposed “hate crime” I cringe. Our freedoms being slowly eroded by supposed do-gooders. What a crock! And this mamsy-pamsy Trudeau has got to go. What were the Canadians thinking of when they put this man-child in charge?

In every country in which Muslims are a minority, they are obsessed with minority rights.

In every country with a Muslim majority, there are NO minority rights.

These dumb-asses….Hate is not a crime it is an emotion. Hate is far more detrimental to the hater than the hatee. It consumes that person. Possibly they will act out. But..the emotion is not a crime. Therefore thought is not a crime. It is a slippery slope to go down that road. NO crime has been committed. It is all about intimation to have you toe the line and think like them. You dare step over the line we draw, then you will be punished in some fashion. Just being charged and the money it takes to defend yourself…your money…hard earned money. The sum bitches will wear you down.
