Canada: Victoria mayor and council fasting for Ramadan on May 25, ask city to join them

68

The mayor, Lisa Helps, said: “I think it’s really important for council to be able to be here standing alongside the Muslim community. We do this with the Jewish community at Hanukkah. We do it with the Christian Community at Christmas.” But do they really? Do Helps and her council fast on Yom Kippur? Do they fast for Advent? It’s more likely that they simply extend their good wishes to Jews and Christians on their holy days. They don’t go to the lengths to which they are going here. And why are they doing this? Because Islam, unlike Judaism and Christianity, demands the submission of non-Muslims, and mandates violence against unbelievers. Lisa Helps, like so many other Western leaders, thinks she and her community will be spared from the jihad if they kowtow and show good will. It won’t work.

“Council challenges Victorians to join in Ramadan fast,” by Bill Cleverley, Times Colonist, May 17, 2018 (thanks to Armaros):

Victoria Mayor Lisa Helps and her council are challenging residents to take part in a community-wide fast on May 25 to mark Ramadan, the holiest month in the Islamic calendar.

Helps and city councillors will fast beginning sunrise on the 25th and break the fast with a meal with members of the Muslim community at city hall at sunset.

The month of Ramadan is considered “a blessed month” by Muslims, said Imam Ismail Mohamed Nur of the Masjid Al-Iman mosque, who joined Helps and councillors in the mayor’s office on Wednesday. “It is a month of reflection. It is a month of charity and generosity,” he said….

Helps said the idea of a community fast challenge arose after she was approached by the imam about marking Ramadan.

“I think it’s really important for council to be able to be here standing alongside the Muslim community. We do this with the Jewish community at Hanukkah. We do it with the Christian Community at Christmas,” she said.

“It really, to me, symbolizes the kind of diversity and inclusion and really the richness that is our community here in Victoria.”

One only has to look at what happened to Lebanon to see what the Islamic agenda is. Lebanon Christians took in Palestinians and eventually, Civil War erupted when the Muslims bit the hands that fed them. Now, Lebanon is filled with Hezbollah terrorists and the Christians live fearfully in their once own country.

Ergo….the reason Hepatitis C hit San Diego (when muslims “resettled” there by Obama….then it spread to LA and north….it’s probably already made its way to Las Vegas by now…..Paddock’s massacre here was bad enough, but now we have disease coming in here as well. That’s why I no longer eat out….

Obama let in “refugees” (other meaning: invaders) who had active TB…a particularly virulent kind that is treatment resistant. Indiana and Florida and other states in the North are starting to see more and more of it.

Our laws say you cannot let in people with active diseases….but then, when did the Muslim Marxist Obama ever follow the law?
If they don’t kill us by running us down with vehicles, stabbings, shootings….etc….they will kill us with diseases.

If you are ever interested in seeing “dumb infidels”, just watch a bit of Canadian Broadcasting Corporation tv. I don’t believe that one of those bright sparks has ever taken the trouble to read the Qur’an or studied much about Islam because, evident, is that these people are moronically clueless about the danger that Islam presents to a free society – in Canada’s case an increasingly less free society.

Why? Because now ‘believe in nothing’ Western societies like brain-dead Canada embrace any old rubbish that happens along, like the utterly clueless Lisa Helps of Victoria, Bonnie Crombie, mayor of Mississauga, John Tory, mayor of Toronto, Kathleen Wynne, Premier of Ontario, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and hoards of totally clueless others, who, evidently, consider it clever to be stupid and gullible. Add to this the wholehearted embracing of political correctness, diversity and inclusion, and you have a society that has lost powers of discernment and wisdom. Muslims must be doubled over with laughter over the stupidity of Lisa Helps and other ‘leaders’ all over Canada as they go about helping Muslims take over the country for Islam and those who fight back are treated like pariahs – sometimes hounded by Canada’s Human Rights Commissions who finally convinced Mark Steyn to leave the country and go live in the U.S.

Many years ago on CBC tv I saw a man who was introduced as Canada’s leading sociologist. Among many things he said: “Canadians don’t believe in anything much anymore”. Well, now we see the consequences of that development. As theologian G.K. Chesterton once said, “When people stop believing in God, they don’t believe in nothing — they believe in anything.” Canada is now testament to this reality.

Lisa Helps is a Canadian politician, the current mayor of Victoria, British Columbia, with her inauguration taking place on December 4, 2014. She narrowly defeated incumbent mayor Dean Fortin in the 2014 municipal election. She is the second woman, after Gretchen Brewin, to be elected mayor of the city.

Here’s her official mayoral website (linked to “ABOUT LISA”):

Not sure why people are confused. Canada is the first word in Pam’s headline. Australia is never mentioned. Canadian mayors don’t officially affiliate with any of the established parties. They of course can lean left or right and align with a party but are not official members.
Why this twit is prostituting herself, who knows and frankly who cares beyond that she is. It’s the UK all over again and unless someone shuts the door and boots the rest out, who, how is anyone going to stop it. Look at England, there’s our future – soon the mayors will be muslim and they won’t need the stupid Kaffars to do their bidding.
” And you tell me over,
and over again my friend.
Ah, you don’t believe we’re
on the eve of destruction. ”
Tell me you believe Canada has a hope. Tell me the seeds of her end aren’t already planted, with more to come. The boy with a sphincter where his lips should be, has sealed her fate. Tell me I’m wrong, I’m too dark, pessimism has skewed my perception of reality. In chess it’s called checkmate. The time to get right with God is now, nothing can stop what’s coming, and I don’t just mean Canada.

Quite right, James. Hopefully, with the next federal election we can at least get rid of Trudeau. He has his sights set on the UN, he knows he won’t get in next year, unless the election is rigged and I wouldn’t put it past him to try. Canada and actually the whole world is in trouble because of islam.

James JonesD

You are right. He has been promised something at a table to deliver Canada to her destroyer. Of course that’s not likely how it was presented to him. He’s not that bright and has probably swallowed the whole post nationalism idea willingly, and his unofficial, inner circle, campaign slogan ” Let the rigging begin ” is ramping up to full swing.
Put in simple terms, islam is indeed a problem for us all, but they are not the source. Take one step back and the elite backed UN is responsible for all of the foolish policies that have opened the flood gates to the muslim invasion. One step back from the UN and an evil group of wealthy, powerful elites have positioned themselves as the masters and are intent on transforming this world to their liking. One step back from them and you would be confronted by evil itself. Evil is not new, it’s been around since the beginning, but why today is it able to exert itself in this manner. Now the source comes into focus.
God has pulled His hand back from the Judeo/Christian West because we turned our backs to Him. We replaced our roots with those of humanism, and in so doing invited vile practices into everyday life. We are the ultimate source of these problems. Evil is thriving because we didn’t stop the march away from God when we could have and now it is too late.
If I handed you an ancient book that detailed 100 complex things that would develop and come about, and so far 95 of them did precisely, and the remaining 5 referenced a time still to come, what would be your response. An irrefutable record should demand everyone’s attention, but few have looked at it that way. Of course I am speaking of the Bible and the actual number of these detailed prophecies are in the hundreds and the record so far is indeed 100%, with only a handful left concerning times to come.
In September 2017, a incredibly complex prophecy was fulfilled. It was given to us by John while exiled on Patmos 2000 yrs. ago. It is recorded in Rev.12, yet there was no hoopla, no media coverage. Even churches said nothing to their congregations about it, as though it was insignificant. It begins with a sign in the heavens of a woman wearing a crown, giving birth and a dragon trying to devour the newborn. Pretty crazy stuff eh !
On September 23, 2017, a confluence of constellations, stars, moons and planets converged to form this exact scenario. This has nothing to do with astrology but it does involve astronomy. John had no means of predicting something that had never happened before. He had no telescope ( not even invented yet ) and likely only a rudimentary knowledge of the stars, certainly no advanced astrophysical skills. To even suggest he put this together on his own would be ludicrous. So why is this important.
The sign precedes a heavenly battle between Evil and the Archangel Michael. Evil loses and is cast down to Earth, where it then proceeds to war against God’s people. I’m assuming this battle in the heavens has begun, but a time line for its duration was not given. To see Israel today, it is not hard to imagine that the Jerusalem as capital issue is going to inflame an already volatile situation. An all out war in the near future is a very real possibility.
Gods hand pulling back, evil flooding once Christian lands and end time prophecies fulfilling before our eyes – the writing is on the wall for all who are willing to see. Get right with God while you can. Read the Book of John in the New Testament and challenged God to show his truth to you. He said all who look for Him will be found by Him.

Pamela, you’re giving Lisa Helps WAY too much credit. I live in Victoria and can tell you, she isn’t thinking this at all. Lisa knows zilch about Islam and doesn’t even register a threat from it, let alone want to take measures to spare us from that threat. She is a Leftist Feminist lesbian who, like so many others, is simply signalling her virtue and showing how tolerant, inclusive and fawning toward minorities she is. In addition to gushing over Islam, she just lauded our local Victoria Day parade, not because it honoured Queen Victoria or celebrated Canada’s British history, but because (as she stated) it displayed so much multicultural “diversity”, which was “so exciting”. She’s just another ignorant dimbulb who has managed to get elected to a fairly influential public office.

Well said, and it indeed applies to many. Logic and the true responsibilities of office have obviously never visited this ignoramus. But as you point out, the ” gay ” movement has trapped itself in it’s own twisted logic of not discerning right from wrong because ” discrimination is the only monster “. Inclusivity is the buzz word of the progressives – ” All fish are the same, equal rights for all, how regressive of you to say anything negative about sharks – now get out of my way, I’m going swimming “. Of course I’m not speaking of race ; it is ideology, what a person believes, that binds us together and separates us at the same time. Diversity without commonality is a strength only to an enemy – together we stand, divided…… Muslims, or more specifically islam, preaches superiority over all else – submission or death, they have no basis to integrate. What a few individuals may or may not want is insignificant to the whole ( the collective ). Ask Lebanon how it works.
