The Viral Vector of Antisemitism in Canada

"Under the radar, Canada is being infiltrated."

"The Muslim Brotherhood manipulates and uses these democratic principles [of Western democracy] and our cultural institutions in a way that allows them to enter into our society, to enter into higher education, to enter into the Muslim community, to create mosques and civic organizations that are radicalized."

"In the West -- in Canada but in other Western democratic countries -- we don't really understand what the Muslim Brotherhood is."

"It sounds like a benevolent organization. It's a nice name, [but] we don't understand the ideology, the goals, the religious worldview of the Brotherhood, what the strategic and military or philosophical  underpinnings are, and they have mastered us." 

Dr. Charles Asher Small, founder/director, Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy (ISGAP) 

 

"The ISGAP report is nothing more than recycled Islamophobic tropes dressed up as research."

"It is a biased, unsubstantiated hit piece that relies on discredited allegations that were themselves challenged by the Ontario Superior Court for their apparent bias."

"It amplifies narratives designed to fuel Islamophobia and sow division within Canadian society."

"This report is a wake-up call for all Canadians. The Canadian government’s direct funding of organizations with documented links to the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas is a betrayal of public trust and a threat to Canada’s national security."

"Our report exposes how federal agencies have become complicit in sustaining and legitimizing networks that promote antisemitic and anti-Israel ideologies under the guise of charity and social welfare."

"These entities are exploiting the very values of tolerance and pluralism that Canada holds dear, weaponizing public institutions against Jewish communities and undermining Canadian democracy itself."

SGAP Urges Canadian Government to Designate Muslim Brotherhood a Terrorist Organization

 

The newly released report by ISGAP holds that Canadian institutions have been infiltrated by the Muslim Brotherhood, a group founded in Egypt in the first quarter of the 20th century that has grown its tentacles worldwide as an inspiration in the world of fundamentalist Islam for global Islamic conquest. Its influence throughout the Islamic world is divided between Muslim-majority countries that have outlawed it in recognition of its goals to be achieved by any means of establishing a worldwide Caliphate ruled by Islamic Sharia law and those countries such as the Islamic Republic of Iran, Turkey, Qatar and Pakistan for whom that conquest goal is a shared aspiration.

 

The Brotherhood's entrenchment of its operatives throughout Canadian institutions, through non-profit organizations and universities, government agencies and trade unions poses a clear and present danger to the country. Its presence and influence in Western countries such as Spain, Italy, Ireland, the U.K., France and Belgium, to name but a handful, including the United States has succeeded in undermining culture, tradition, social mores and values to an extent that is truly alarming. And no group knows this as keenly as the diaspora Jews living in those countries which for the past three years have been subjected to Palestinian-focused threats, harassment, isolation, prejudice and violence.

The Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism sets out its argument in a 200-page study that an organized campaign of pro-Palestinian activism and anti-Islamophobia rhetoric has succeeded in activating antisemitism throughout Canada. Groups associated with the Brotherhood have themselves been radicalized by them to carry on the scheme of painting Israel and Jews everywhere as the fulcrum of all that fails in the world; that conflict is the fault of the Jews -- ostensibly for having the unmitigated gall to rise to its own defence and responsive offence when savagely attacked by Islamist terrorists. 

 

Funding for Islamist groups under the aegis of the Muslim Brotherhood is supplied by Qatar, investing oil wealth in gifting millions to academic institutions whose administrations are eager to receive those funds and amenable to cooperating with faculty and study bodies reflective of the Brotherhood's interests. While Egypt, Syria, Bahrain, Jordan and Saudi Arabia have outlawed the Muslim Brotherhood, the West is slow in taking up the initiative in recognizing them for what they represent, a wholesale move to install a foundation throughout civilized society of core Islamic values.

 

It is a type of 'entryism' - the act of changing institutions; cultural, governmental, educational and others from within that the ISGAP report points out the Muslim Brotherhood is involved in. Canadian multiculturalism provides the perfect backdrop along with immigration laws that have been relaxed without due diligence to enable viral Islamist fundamentalism entry. Canadian government authorities are fully aware of the presence of members of the Islamic Republican Guard Corps living in Canada, proscribed in some European countries, and posing a direct threat to security, but fail to deport them.

Muslim advocacy groups and charities purporting to be innocent and well-meaning entities are involved in lobbying to achieve their interests to the detriment of Canada's and to raise 'charitable' funds that end  up funding Islamist terrorism. The Brotherhood is a true transnational threat to civilized society everywhere, from the West to the Middle East. Yet recognition of their malign presence and the security threat they represent seems beyond the notice of government in Canada. Groups such as the Canadian Muslim Public Affairs Council (CMPAC) and The Canadian-Muslim Vote (TCMV), represent mobilization organs for bloc voting in Canada, the ISGAP report points out. 

 

Khaled al-Qazzaz, CMPAC executive director, was formerly foreign affairs secretary for the Brotherhood's Mohamed Morsi in Egypt in 2011 after the violent disruptions of the Arab Spring brought down Egypt's long-time president, Hosni Mubarak, until a year later, Egypt's chief of the military, Abdel Fatah El-Sisi struck a coup, brought down the Brotherhood presidency, imprisoned Morsi and became Egypt's new president.
