Open Letter to Councillor Sandra Racco, City of Vaughan: Jaffari Centre Concerns

February 27, 2014

Open Letter to Councillor Sandra Racco, City of Vaughan

Re: Thornhill Woods Community Meeting – Lebovic Centre.

I attended the Community Update and Board of Directors Election Meeting on Wednesday February 26, 2014.

During the Q+A, I rose to ask you a question regarding the negative impact on public safety to the existing community which is presented by the proposed Jaffari Centre re-development – a relevant question, which you refused to answer.

Over the past 3 weeks, I have been contacted by many residents of Thornhill Woods who have expressed major concerns about persons from the Jaffari Center blocking driveways and asking residents to use their driveways for overflow parking.  hat was one issue I addressed.

The second issue I asked you about dealt with the anti-Semitic nature of the Jaffari Centre.

You refused to answer my questions.

In refusing to respond, it was suggested that these inquiries were racially motivated and inappropriate.  This is completely untrue, and I consider your response — that as a public official you are limited to issues of “zoning and by-laws”  — to be a deflection of your obligation to properly apprise yourself and understand all the issues that might have a negative impact on the safety and security of our community.

I am deeply concerned that an enlarged Jaffari Centre re-development will lead to a serious increase in antisemitism, and this increase in antisemitism will lead to violence against members of the Jewish community.

Please take the time to review the following information about the Jaffari Center and their associates.

Thank you,

Meir Weinstein

Mendacious Grievance-Mongering Taqqiyya Artist

I imagine Fiyaz Mughal wished he stayed off Twitter that day...

A special Thank you to Mike Holt of Restore Australia for this:

http://www.restoreaustralia.org.au/fiyaz-mughal-the-fool/

Fiyaz Mughal the Fool

The Mendacious Grievance-Monger-In-Chief at Tell Mama UK, Fiyaz Mughal, receives £214,000 a year from the Government to monitor anti-Muslim attacks in Britain. That is £214,000 of British Taxpayer’s money to assuage the hurt feelings of muslims in (formerly) Great Britain!

Fiyaz Mughal — Sticks and stones you fool!

It’s hard to believe, isn’t it? But this sponger makes a living out of trying to spread public relations gold over the cesspool of islam. If islam was not in the UK morons like Mughal would not be getting rich off the back of the British taxpayer. Nor would he be standing on his two hind legs to bleat about an insult that called him such terrible names as mendacious grievance-mongering taqqiyya-artist, and a lying muslim scumbag.

Poor Fiyaz couldn’t stand such a grievous denigration of his pompous arse, so he has charged Tim Burton  with “racially aggravated harassment”….whatever that means. It’s not against the law to call someone names in the UK….yet…., but if you can change the name to “racially aggravated harassment” it seems you can bring charges.

Well, Fiyaz, how does being called a lying, thieving piece of blood sucker on the benighted British tax payer scum bag sound?

Tim Burton abusing poor little muslims, protected by his trusty fierce dog. He’s safe. Muslims won’t go near a dog, but they will cut off the heads of innocent soldiers!

Ooooooh! That must have really hurt his ever so sensitive feelings!

But what else can you call someone who creates an organization to defend the indefensible?

How can anyone, except a muslim of course, try to defend the many attacks on peaceful Britains in their own land? A land that has been invaded by brown hordes of muslims fleeing from the countries that they and their nasty little religion islam have destroyed and turned into shit holes?

Who killed Lee Rigby?

Who blew up the London Underground?

Who has created muslim no-go areas throughout Britain?

Who is trying to enforce sharia law over our fabled British Westminster system?

Who is gradually whittling away at the freedoms of western societies all over the world to fulfill their crazy pedophile prophet’s commands to “kill the unbeliever” and “destroy the Jews”?

Only islam and its demented followers, fools like Fiyaz Mughal, would even attempt to defend the “religion of pieces”.

So, here is my advice to Fiyaz Mughal. If you don’t like us calling you names, suck it up! We don’t care what you think.

Go back to the countries you crawled out of and live there. If its so terrible there, go back and change it. The first thing you could do is stop believing in that crazy cult you call islam. It’s not a religion. It’s a hateful, murderous ideology. The fact that billions of people believe the rubbish Muhammed preached just goes to show that billions of people can be fooled into believing anything that promises them unlimited sexual gratification when they die.

Islam is so obviously centered on gratifying the carnal desires of muslim men that it’s laughable. What other religion promises 72 virgins in ‘heaven’? What other religion teaches men to treat women worse than any mangy dog? Only islam. But of course, muslims are incapable of gaining sexual gratification in this life. They are too afraid of women to ever satisfy one!

What woman would want to sleep with Fiyaz Mughal anyway? Look at him. He’s about as appealing as an electric eel in a kindergarten….only I would never let him near a kindergarten. Given the muslim propensity for playing with little children, urged on by their koran and the teachings of their pedophile Muhammed the “Profit”, there is no telling what Fiyaz would do in a kindergarten full of them!

So, Fiyaz Mughal, get out of the UK. You don’t belong there. Stop harassing true British patriots. You don’t deserve to scrape the dog shit off the soles of Tim Burton’s shoes! And shame on the British police and the British government for supporting islam over the wellbeing of British people/ Shame! Shame! Shame!

Oh, and Fiyaz Mughal, if you don’t like being called names, stop acting like an arsehole!

A message from Paul Weston

This missive is detrimental to you, pay heed, and ensure a legacy for yours.

The supreme function of statesmanship is to provide against preventable evils.” So said Enoch Powell a long time ago, when he predicted mass third world immigration would not only transform Britain from a cohesive and tolerant country, but would also bring with it “rivers of blood.”

We don’t yet have rivers of blood, but history tells us multicultural and multi racial nations can put up with only so much, after which a relatively small incident can lead to horrendous bloodshed and civil war.

A potential civil war based on religious and racial grounds IS a preventable evil, but in Britain today our mainstream politicians appear intent on promoting such an evil, rather than preventing it.

Britain and many European countries already suffer from small scale Islamic atrocities, be they acts of terrorism, the organised gang rape of English girls or simply organised groups of Muslims holding up placards stating “Islam will rule the world” or “behead those who insult Islam”. They are backed up by billions of petro-dollars from Qatar and Saudi Arabia. They are backed up by the United Nations, where the 57 Muslim states which make up the Organsiation of Islamic Cooperation, which holds the most powerful bloc vote at the UN.

They are backed up the European Union, which is using mass immigration as a tool to dismantle the Nation States they wish to collectively rule over. They are backed up by our politicians, our media, our educational institutions and by the police – all of whom are terrified of telling the truth about Islam, which is that Islam is a supremacist ideology prepared to utilise violence and terror to achieve a global Caliphate. Islam is most certainly NOT a religion of peace.

In Britain, we have a terrible and growing problem. 40% of Muslims want sharia law, 33% think it is permissible to kill in the name of Islam, and we only have to look around the world today to see these are not idle threats. In Nigeria Muslims are killing Christians. In Sudan Muslims are killing Christians. In Egypt Muslims are killing Christians. In Syria Muslims are killing Christians. And not only Christians, we also see mass killing between Muslims because the Sunni and Shia sects of Islam refuse to live peacefully together.

Yet for reasons known only to themselves, our traitor class of politicians have deliberately imported into this small, Western, Christian country of England, Muslims in such huge numbers that we will see a Muslim majority amongst the young within only a few decades.

A child born today will only be 36 years old by 2050, but Britain in 2050 will be unrecognisable as the country I was born into. The native British as a demographic are old and declining. The Muslims are young and expanding and within just two generations we will see a comparable figure of Muslims and native British aged 25 and under. At this point I fully expect to see the type of violence we are currently reading about in the news every day.

Not one of our politicians will do anything about this. They are interested only in the current election cycle, not the world our children and grandchildren will inherit. They tell us Islam is a religion of peace. The Conservative David Cameron tells us the murder and beheading of Fusilier Lee Rigby was nothing to do with Islam, even though the killers were quoting the Koran as they wielded their butchers knives.

The Liberal Democrat’s Simon Hughes is on video stating he looks forward to the day we have a Muslim Prime Minister. The Labour Party deliberately imported these people because the majority of them live on welfare and therefore vote Labour.

UKIP is also mute on the long term threat of Islam, which is hardly surprising. Nigel Farage lives a very pleasant life. Standing up to Islam brings death threats and an undercover life, not something Mr Farage is prepared to do.

Liberty GB will do something about the Islamic threat, and I believe we are the only credible party in the country to take such a stand. We have been betrayed by our politicians across the entire political spectrum, be it for ideological reasons or just cowardice, and it is high time a political party came to the fore which actually put the interests of the native people before foreigners.

I would like to close by quoting from Alex Henshaw, who was a spitfire test pilot in WWII. Mr Henshaw died only a few years ago, but this is what he had to say about the country he fought for:

“I feel extreme emotional sadness for the young men I knew that gave their lives willingly for a cause in which we all believed. And I often say to myself that if those young boys would come down now and walk through the villages, through the towns and through the cities and look around and see what is happening to us, they would say somewhere along the line we have been betrayed.”

Yes, Mr Henshaw, you have been betrayed. And the traitor class of today’s politicians have not only betrayed your generation, but they are currently betraying tomorrow’s generation which will somehow have to cope with a Britain resembling Mogadishu rather than Surbiton.

Democracy and freedom are not the personal possessions of cowardly politicians to be handed away, without our agreement, to the descendants of a 7th century desert warlord, who view our attachment to democracy and peace as weaknesses to be used against us.

I do not blame Islam. Fundamentalist Muslims are just doing what it says in their book.
But I do blame our politicians. There are two sides in this civilisational stand-off, and our politicians have sided with the enemy.

You can make a difference. You can vote for Liberty GB in May’s EU elections. You can support us, join us or simply donate money to us. Liberty GB is a party that cares not just about today, but the country our children and grandchildren will inherit in decades to come.

Don’t let them have to fight for their very lives in 2050 because there was insufficient political will to peacefully deal with Islam today. Please vote Liberty GB. My name is Paul Weston. Thank You.

Rebuke on Islam

German Woman's Public Rebuke of Islam Goes Viral ~  2/7/2014

http://www.charismanews.com/world/42705-german-woman-s-public-rebuke-of-islam-goes-viral

Islam continues to grow in power and influence across Europe. But at a recent concert in Germany, one Christian woman decided to stand up to it.

"The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace" by Welsh composer Karl Jenkins was supposed to be an interfaith event to bring Christianity and Islam together.

But when the Muslim imam began his call to prayer during the concert, he was interrupted by a small woman in the balcony proclaiming that "Jesus Christ alone is Lord of Germany," and shouting, "I break this curse."

She also invoked the name of Martin Luther and warned the audience that what was happening was "a lie." 

The video went viral.

'Brave German Woman'

The mysterious Christian lady became known on the Internet simply as the "brave German woman."

It happened on Nov. 10, 2013, at the Memorial Church of the Reformation in the Rhineland city of Speyer, built to honor Martin Luther.

It isn't just any church. It's a monument to the Protestant Reformation and a memorial to the spiritual transformation of Germany.

It was at this spiritual landmark that a Muslim imam was invited to give the call to prayer. When the brave German woman, whose real name is Heidi Mund, heard about the event, she prayed.

"I was asking Jesus, 'Lord, shall I go there?' So, when I have to drive one and half hours, you know, I think, 'Is it worth it to go or can others go?' So, this is human laziness, yeah?" Mund recalled.

She grabbed her German flag emblazoned with the words "Jesus Christ is Lord" and headed for the concert, still not sure what she would do when she got there.

"Until the imam started with his shouting, I did not really know what to do. I was just prepared for what God wants me to do," she told CBN News.

Then the Muslim call to prayer began, and Heidi said she felt something rising up inside her.

A Holy Anger

"I would call it a holy anger," she recounted. "And then I rose with my flag and I was calling and proclaiming that Jesus Christ is Lord over Germany."

"My purpose was, I broke this curse because [Muslims] say, 'Only Allah is the Lord. He is God, the only God.' And I broke this curse in this church and I broke it over my country," she continued.

And she repeated the words of Martin Luther in 1521 after he refused to recant his faith in scripture alone: "Here I stand. I can do no other" and "Save the church of Martin Luther!"

Video shows another concert-goer trying to calm her by saying, "This is a concert for peace."

Mund can be heard responding in German, "No it's not! Allahu Akbar is what Muslims scream while murdering people! Don't be fooled! Don't be fooled! This is a lie!"

She was thrown out of the church.

"They should have thrown the imam out and not me because I am a believer in Jesus Christ, but he serves another god. This Allah is not the same god. And this is not the truth."

"This 'allahu akbar,' they use it when they kill people," she argued. "This is, for me, worship to an idol, to their god. And when a Muslim calls 'allahu akbar' in a church, that means this church is not a church anymore, it's a mosque."

Church No Place for Imams?

With Mund at the concert was Kamel, who did not give his full name for safety reasons. Before coming to Germany he lived in the Muslim world.

Kamel told CBN News that an imam has no place in a church.

"Islam is one of the reasons for persecution, Muslims have persecuted me. They don´t want me to tell others that Jesus Christ is my Savior."

Also with Mund was Marion, who has also asked that her last name not be included. She belongs to a group calling itself the White Rose, which took the same name as the World War II anti-Nazi resistance group shown in the film "Sophie Scholl: the Final Days."

"Islam is inhuman, the same as in the Nazi time. For me, personally, there is no difference. We want to show Germany and the world that we will not bow down to the slow Islamization of our country," Marion said.

Afraid of Muslims?

Mund said she knows that her first television interview could place her in danger.

"Many people ask me, 'Are you afraid of the Muslims?' And I can only say, 'No, I'm not afraid of them,'" she told CBN News. "I know my God, the living God of the Bible can protect for me for as long as he wants. When my time is over I will go to him."

An evangelist by gifting, Mund grew up an atheist in communist East Germany. But now, as a believer, her burden and her ministry is for the spiritual rebirth of Germany.

"I feel I have to protect my country and my people. I am only a little woman but I feel I have to protect them," she said.

Reviving a Dead Nation?

Some might associate Germany with the Nazis, but Germany was once a base for world missions, sending missionaries to Africa and Korea and to America.

Mund is trusting God for a miracle in what is a very wealthy and, some would say, spiritually dead nation.

"I know nothing is impossible for my God. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing," she said.

"From a human point of view I feel our country is lost. It's already lost. It's done. Because I see so many changes in the country, in every area," she continued. "But I trust God that he has a 'Plan A' and that my country is not lost and that He will reach us and He will come and change the whole situation."

CANADA: This jihadist was born and raised here...

Former Canadian Idol contestant’s dinner chat moves from ice cream to ‘violent jihad’ on secret tapes, terrorism trial hears ~ Chris Cobb, Postmedia News February 11, 2014 

http://news.nationalpost.com/2014/02/11/former-canadian-idol-contestants-dinner-chat-moves-from-ice-cream-to-violent-jihad-on-secret-tapes-terrorism-trial-hears/

Note the Zebibah (prayer bump)

OTTAWA — In a secretly-recorded conversation played publicly for the first time Tuesday, accused terrorism collaborator Khurram Sher discusses bomb making and appears to suggest a repatriation ceremony at Canadian Forces Base Trenton as a possible target.

The conversation between the 31-year-old Montreal-born pathologist and two alleged co-conspirators then turns to their bearded appearances, which brings a suggestion from Dr. Sher that they might shave and “wear Canadian colours.” To which one of his alleged co-conspirators responds: “We’ll break their backs in their own country.”

During the July 20, 2010 conversation, recorded by the RCMP using microphones hidden in the apartment where the trio met, Dr. Sher also speaks of the ease with which he could buy components for bomb making.

“I can just go to, like, a hardware store and buy a few things to build a bomb. I’m sure it’s possible.”

Crown prosecutor Jason Wakely had told the court earlier that the conversation shows that Dr. Sher and his alleged associates were bent on “violent jihad.”

Dr. Sher is pleading not guilty to conspiring with two others to facilitate a terrorist activity, which police have alleged also involved a possible bomb attack in the Ottawa area. His trial in an Ottawa courtroom began Monday.

The hour-long conversation played with a written transcript displayed on TV and computer screens takes place during a dinner and starts with a mundane exchange about the food, the benefits of gluten-free products and the merits of President’s Choice ice cream. One of the three reads the list of ingredients from the ice cream package.

The banter is often lighthearted and peppered with laughter.

After dinner, the conversation turns more political with talk of Afghanistan, Islam and secure ways of communicating.

Dr. Sher, father of three daughters, says relatively little but does mention sending money to the others and using email, “better not to be tracked.”

He speaks briefly about going to Pakistan in 2005 to help victims of the deadly earthquake and coincidentally meeting a man he spoke to about “training.”

One of his alleged co-conspirators mentions that he had thought of fighting in Russia with Chechnya rebels.

After dinner, one of the alleged co-conspirators suggests forming a “group” to work together in an atmosphere of mutual trust.

It isn’t until the early hours of the morning that talk casually turns to CFB Trenton, and the ceremonies to mark the return of Canadian soldiers killed in Afghanistan, as a possible target.

About another 15 minutes of the tape remains to be played. Some of the transcript was translated from Arabic.

The translation, and the prosecution’s version of who said what during dinner and afterwards, are expected to form a crucial part of the defence case.

Mr. Wakely earlier alleged that the group Dr. Sher and the two others formed was a formal pro-jihad association called a Jamaa or group, or company.

He also alleges that Dr. Sher contributed money — at least $1,000 — in support of Afghanistan’s Mujahedeen, comprising groups closely associated with radical Islam.

That money, and other contributions gathered by the group, was allegedly intended to fund the purchase of weapons for Afghan insurgents.

The prosecutor also alleges that during his visit to Pakistan the man Dr. Sher met and asked about military training was a Taliban member.

Mr. Wakely told the court that the alleged terrorist plot was an Ottawa-based operation with alleged co-conspirators taking precautions to avoid detection by using public pay phones, coded language on cellphones, and assumed names on email address which they accessed only at the Ottawa Public Library.

Included in the prosecution case are 96 phone intercepts, 24 Internet intercepts and 33 emails.

According to Mr. Wakely, police secretly went to one of the alleged co-conspirator’s apartments and replaced 56 circuit boards with harmless replicas.

He said other bomb paraphernalia and an instruction booklet found in the apartment pointed to a plan to make and remotely explode bombs.

No such materials were found in Dr. Sher’s London, Ont., home and his lawyer, Michael Edelson, objected to Mr. Wakely associating his client with efforts to avoid surveillance.

The trial continues Wednesday.

Postmedia News

Quilliam Foundation and the English Defence League

This was forwarded to me (I am respecting the wishes in that the sender remain anonymous). But, it is time to quit giving former EDL Leader Tommy Robinson (Real name Stephen Yaxley-Lennon) any further attention via any links, pages, web-sites, and radio.

If anyone is in any doubt about the motives and intentions of the Quilliam foundation towards the EDL and what they intended and still intend to use Tommy Robinson and those who left with him for then read this letter from Maajid Nawaz of Quilliam.

There is no doubt in my mind and there should no longer be any doubt in anyones mind and this once again makes it crystal clear that the Quilliam foundation has little interest in stopping muslim extremism and is solely working towards destroying the EDL.

 Nothing more and nothing less, while you may feel sorry for Tommy Robinson because of the position he has now put himself in because of his own naivety do not fool yourself into thinking that offering support to him is not hastening the demise of the EDL and all opposition to muslim extremism and the Islamization of Britain because that is exactly what he and others are being used for by Quilliam.

The Right Honourable The Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice
Eland House
Bressenden Place
London SW1E 5DU

6th February 2014

Dear Lord Chancellor,

I write to highlight the situation of Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, currently incarcerated in HMP Woodhill. We are concerned for his well being following reports of physical violence against him by other prisoners ( No mention of the fact that they were muslim prisoners ) while in the holding bay following a legal visit. I ask if his situation may be reviewed given the physical threat against him, ( Once again no mention that the threat is from muslims ) heightened because of his high profile and former affiliations to the English Defence League (EDL).

Having facilitated Stephen’s departure from the EDL in 2013, ( In their own words " Beheaded the EDL " ) we continued to provide support and training for him, address his grievances, and tackle the ideology and narrative of extremism ( No mention of muslim extremism just a suggestion of the EDL being extremists ) up to the point of his sentencing. We did this in the interests of community cohesion ( Suggesting the EDL are the cause of bad community cohesion and once again no mention of muslim extremism ) as we recognized his importance to the EDL, believe Britain is safer without the group, ( We are working to destroy the EDL ) and identify that a peaceful, human-rights based civil society approach is the best way to counter extremism of all kinds. ( Once again suggesting that the EDL are extremists and not mentioning muslim extremism in any way )However, we recognize that the process with Stephen, with the EDL, and with extremism ( Again calling the EDL extremists ) in general is yet to be completed. ( We have not yet be able to completely destroy the EDL )

Given the short time frame between Stephen’s departure from the EDL and his incarceration for an unrelated criminal offence, he is still associated with his former views and affiliated to the group he used to lead in the public consciousness. For this reason, he is particularly vulnerable to physical violence from fellow prisoners. ( No mention again that physical violence will come from muslims ) Likewise, we feel that he is ideologically vulnerable as his perceived grievances against the state and against his attackers could increase. ( Please look after him we need to use him more to destroy the EDL ) Moreover, should the physical violence against him escalate and he were murdered, ( By muslims ) we fear a nationwide sectarian and violent response from his supporters. (Suggesting the EDL are violent extremists )

We believe that all prisoners are owed a duty of care, which, in Stephen’s case, may not be sufficiently upheld if he continues to be treated in the current way. ( We need him to continue our work in destroying the EDL ) Moreover, we think that leaving an extremist organization ( Calling the EDL an extremist organization again ) should not go unsupported and think that HMP Woodhill should make provision in Stephen’s case not to do more harm than good ( If he gets a good kicking from muslims in prison he may go back to the EDL ) as part of its general rehabilitative responsibilities. Finally, it is in the public interest and in the interest of national social cohesion ( Again no mention of muslim extremism being responsible for damage done to national social cohesion ) that Stephen’s rehabilitation and move away from the EDL is allowed to continue throughout his incarceration and beyond. ( Again we need to use him further to bring an end to the EDL )

If you would like to discuss this further, please contact my office on 0207 182 7280.

Yours sincerely,

Maajid Nawaz

Chairman & Co-Founder

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If you can not see the intentions of this group then I can not help you and if you still think that supporting Tommy Robinson now is not damaging the EDL the fight against muslim terrorism, pedophile gangs, the burka and all forms of the Islamization of this country then again I can not help you.

Pity is understandable but in this case it is not wise because pity is being used to destroy the EDL.

Student Evicted From Moslem-Only Class ~ in CANADA

This is yet another outrageous example of islamic accommodation...

Ontario university defends decision to kick non-Muslim out of course that teaches Islamic preaching ~ Jen Gerson | February 9, 2014 More from Jen Gerson | @jengerson

http://news.nationalpost.com/2014/02/09/ontario-university-defends-decision-to-kick-non-muslim-out-of-course-that-teaches-islamic-preaching/

A London, Ont., university is defending its decision to restrict access to a course that teaches Muslims how to proselytize.

The Huron College course — The Muslim Voice: Islamic Preaching, Public Speaking and Worship — was, according to the syllabus, “open to Muslim men and women who offer religious leadership and/or speak publicly about Islam on behalf of their communities.”

The school allowed a non-Muslim to enrol in the course, but then kicked him out because, they said, they didn’t want to open the course to auditors. That student, Moray Watson, is an accountant who says he is an opponent of Islamic extremism and enrolled in the course partly to test the prerequisite in the syllabus.

I’m not allowed to take the course because I’m not a Muslim

“[The school] gets $6.5-million [from the government]. Some of it is mine and I’m not allowed to take the course because I’m not a Muslim,” he said.

After he complained, the school changed the syllabus, saying the course was “open to men and women who offer religious leadership to Muslim communities and/or speak publicly about Islam on behalf of a Muslim community.” It noted: “Enrollment is limited; preference is given to matriculated students.”

While both the professor and the school have said Mr. Watson could re-enroll in the course if he were willing to take it for credit, they defended the need to restrict the class to Muslims or people who serve the Muslim community.

Stephen McClatchie, the principal of the college, said he regretted that Mr. Watson was allowed to successfully sign up for the course before the requirements were clarified.

“That was clearly something we should have done better. Situations like this arise and it’s an occasion for us to review our auditing policy, which we will certainly be doing coming out of this, as well as our expectations coming out of pastoral colleges,” he said.

Huron College, an affiliate of the University of Western Ontario that started out as an Anglican seminary, offers several practical religious courses aimed at teaching future priests and Christian church leaders rhetorical and preaching skills.

This year, the school created a course aimed at Muslims, devised by Ingrid Mattson, the London and Windsor Community Chair in Islamic Studies, an academic position that focuses on research and teaching relevant to Islamic thought and theology.

I thought he may have been Muslim

She said that as a practical matter, the course is largely graded on a student’s ability to, for example, preach Islamic scripture and deliver an Islamic blessing. The interactive nature of the course makes it difficult for an auditor, she said, but there’s no religious requirement for this class, per se.

The Baghead, Dr. Ingrid Mattson

“I thought [Mr. Watson] may have been Muslim. I had no idea when he came to class whether he was Muslim or not,” she said.

Mr. Watson said he believes that the prohibition against auditors was put in place to keep non-Muslims like himself out of the class.

“It was the speed at which I was rejected,” he said, noting another auditor was allowed to take the course for credit. “I [received] an email telling me her course was full. … I was never given the option of taking her course for credit.”

If Mr. Watson continued to pursue a spot in the class, Mr. McClatchie said, the school would talk to him about the practical requirements, as it did when other students made similar requests.

A Buddhist student tried to take a course on Christian homiletics a few years ago. After some discussion, it was decided that the student in that case would not be comfortable with some of the requirements.

“We do not feel we have discriminated against him on the basis of religion. Here, we were concerned about the experience of students in what is a practical class and their need to apply leadership skills from a particular perspective,” said Mr. McClatchie.

Yet Mr. Watson believes he is unable to pursue a spot in the course as he doesn’t meet the prerequisites spelled out in the syllabus.

I would think the Islam and politics class would have been much more suited to his interests

James Turk, the executive director of the Canadian Association of University Teachers, said his group opposes faith tests. The exception, however, is seminaries. It’s reasonable, Mr. Turk said, to require students who are training to be leaders within their religious communities to adhere to those beliefs.

Mr. Watson believes a course on how to preach is better suited for a mosque or community centre than it is for a publicly funded university. The student believes he should have the right to see what Ms. Mattson is teaching, particularly in light of what he believes is a growing strain of Islamic extremism in the community.

Ms. Mattson encouraged Mr. Watson to take one of her alternative courses on Islam and politics instead.

“I don’t know to what extent he has a genuine interest or to what extent he has an ideological commitment to a certain world view of Muslims,” she said. “There are people who have genuine concerns and there are ways for them to engage in discussions with Muslims, or with me, about these issues. I would think the Islam and politics class would have been much more suited to his interests.”
