Islamists Shape Canada’s
Islamophobia Narrative
Islamism is political Islam on the march.
“Politics is war without bloodshed while war is politics with bloodshed.”
— Mao Zedong, On Protracted War (1938)
This book lays bare those political means.
The National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM) is one of Canada’s most influential human rights groups. Its stated mission is to advance the interests of the Muslim community.
What happens when the interests it advances conflict with Canada’s wider public interest?
Before being hired as NCCM’s official media liaison, Steven Zhou wrote that Canadian Primister Stephen Harper’s government and the security agencies were obsessed with Islamic terrorism. In the article, he never explains why he chooses “obsession” rather than “concern.”
Could this be a reflection of unconscious media bias or a deliberate attempt to manipulate the narrative to advance the Islamist agenda?
What incentives power the islamophobia narrative in Canada and the west? Where is it leading?
