on the conversation about québec racism/xenophobia/islamophobia...
my dad is a brown Muslim immigrant and my mom is a french-canadian white girl
and good god. some of the towns we stopped in when I was a kid, stores I've been to, random people in québec, my white family members...
my french is fluent. I speak it with my mom. I can vocally pass for living in québec. but none of that matters in the slightest with white people there. they take one look at me, or find out my (arabic) name, and I'm nothing to them. sont pas comme nous.
when I was a kid my mom explained "sont pas comme nous" to me, as a phrase and an attitude, after I asked about the treatment our family was receiving
it's...bad
I don't think they're actually more racist than anglophones, but I think they say and act on the things that white anglos think and/or say behind closed doors

American actor James Woods is facing backlash following an emotional appearance on CNN, where he broke down while recounting losing his home to the Los Angeles wildfires.
Social media users were quick to point to an old post on X, where Woods shared a bone-chilling tweet about Israel's war on Gaza using the hashtag #Kill ThemAll and opposing a ceasefire, as well as other tweets where the actor showed little sympathy for Palestinians who had lost their homes due to Israel's incessant bombardment of Gaza

Nepean MPP Lisa MacLeod has apologized for a social media post that claimed one of the people vying for her seat supports Sharia law.
The outgoing Progressive Conservative MPP posted on the social media site X on Jan. 7, sharing a link to the website of Husein Abu-Rayash, along with the comment, “Hey Nepean? If you support Sharia Law … next PC Candidate for Nepean could be…” Sharia is a body of religious law that is part of the Islamic faith, based on the Qu’ran and other religious texts.
Abu-Rayash demanded an apology and for the post to be removed, saying MacLeod could face legal repercussions for defamation.

I've seen little about it so, Just an FYI what's been unfolding in England today. Far-right protestors are literally trying to kill asylum seekers in hotels.
In Rotherham, Yorkshire fascists have tried to set a hotel on fire with migrants staying there. Some signalling cut-throat gestures at the people staying in the rooms.
In Tamworth, Staffordshire the very same thing is happening. Another hotel has been set on fire with asylum seekers still inside alongside racist graffiti.
Other similar protests that are going uncountered are happening in Middlesbrough, Hartlepool, Stoke-on-Trent and many more areas, chances are there will be one somewhere by you if things keep going the way they are. Nazis are literally strolling about unchallenged and these people are marching happily with them. There are more sensitive videos online which I won't share here but there are groups of nazis chasing down and circling black people in cities and beating them up, indian and chinese takeaways being targetted, turkish barbers being set alight and there have been incidents of muslims being assaulted and even stabbed.
BUT... There are success stories from UK cities where riots have failed due to no turnout or due to antifascists driving far-right pricks out of the city.
Cardiff, Wales - About 5 fascists turn up compared to 500 conuter-protestors. They failed to get anyone here despite trying two times.
Liverpool, Merseyside - A significant EDL mob is marched out of the city and fought against. Counter-protestors form a ring around a mosque being targetted.
Bristol, City of - antifascists block the entrance to a hotel that nazis are trying to get into as well as a fierce citywide push against the EDL and racism.
Nottingham, East Midlands - A huge antifascist counter protest outnumbers EDL and the far-right, preventing a riot from occuring.
There are many many more of these riots planned. If you're in the UK get organised and be prepared to fight alongside the people who make our communities stong and resiliant and make our country and cities a wonderful vibrant and friendly place to be. Help by whatever means you can. If you are not from the UK then please signal boost this because this needs to stop this nastiness from spreading and to make nazis afraid again.

I think maybe the most ironic part of the white supremacist “Muslims are taking over Europe, save European culture and its people!” rhetoric is that they’ve been saying it for the past 1,300 years. No exaggeration. This is something they’ve been fearmongering about since the 8th century.

twitter link to the video (in it, you can hear these fascists loudly screaming "are they white?" and "they're white, they're white! they're english!" before letting the cars pass).
remember how the american and british press stirred up an absolute panic about the non-violent, pro-palestine campus protests? how they endlessly slandered the students as antisemitic extremists, creating justification for the violent police crackdown that would soon follow?
compare that now to how they're covering (or not covering) the fascist pogroms in the UK, where, for the past few days, violent white supremacists mobs have been terrorizing muslims, migrants and other non-white communities, forming mobs to intimidate and violently attack anyone they perceive as non-white and non-British.
the hotel shown in the video above is now the second hotel housing asylum seekers that these fascist mobs have attempted to set fire to, and yet, the harshest words the majority of the UK press is willing to use to describe them, are "far-right rioters, "anti-immigration protesters" or, if you're the BBC, just "protesters."
here's from skynews (UK), with the almost comical framing of "anti-fascists (left)" vs. "people protesting"
again, if you compare that to the headlines they were running during the campus protests...
this goes beyond some racist "bias" in their reporting: you can draw a direct link here between the UK media's coverage of palestine, and the fascist mobs willing to burn asylum seekers alive.
obviously there are other factors at play, but the genocide denial, the portrayal of arabs and muslims as terrorists and antisemites (which again, gets projected onto britain's migrant population and asylum seekers as a whole), the overall dehumanization and othering of the palestinian people — all of this has been feeding into, and stoking up, the racism and islamophobia that's now boiling over, and erupting into nakedly fascist violence.

Nothing feels more satisfying than seeing a Hijabi get a gold medal in front of ALL OF FRANCE at the closing ceremony, I hope that is a slap in the face that is deserved for France’s Islamophobia.

antisemitism and islamophobia are not opposites; they very often go together. you do not cure one with the other. if you hear rhetoric to the contrary, ask yourself: who does this serve?

France is attempting to deport a Palestinian man to GAZA.
He opened the francophone school of Gaza and taught French for about a decade. He had the opportunity to get a Master degree in French linguistic in France so he came in 2019. He has been studying hard and working and paying his taxes in France all while supporting financially his family in Gaza.
He just received an order to leave the country for not “blending in/fitting” in France. The guy is LEARNING French. He opened a fucking francophone school. He speaks French perfectly. He works and pays his taxes. That’s more than a lot of white people in France. But they consider that it’s not enough and they fucking want to deport him to Gaza. He said “They want to send me to get killed” and he is right that’s what France is trying to do.
Israel is bombing Gaza. They have been bombing Palestinians in Gaza for a whole month and France is trying to deport Palestinians who don’t have the French citizenship. And just like France did during the holocaust they also want to remove the French citizenship of Palestinians and Muslims in general so they can deport us.

after 9/11, my mom had her hijab ripped off her head. muslim-american communities were shattered due to the american government suspecting every muslim in america of terrorism and subjecting them to interviews and even deportation. i was in school afraid to embrace my religion because islam was being equated to terrorism. i was bullied for being a muslim and constantly called a terrorist. and let's not forget the millions of muslims that were killed and displaced because of the war on terror. MILLIONS.
it took years for muslims to feel "normal" again. of course, we still felt the uncomfortable stares and the subtle islamophobia. but it was so subtle. we almost forgot it was there.
and now, we're back to straight-forward, blatant islamophobia:
a 6-year-old muslim palestinian boy was stabbed 26 times
rashida tlaib is being censured and her colleague openly said 'all of them’ when a democrat asked how many dead palestinians will be enough?
van jones said to take a stand against muslims at a pro-israel rally
there were 1,283 reports of anti-arab and anti-muslim bias since oct 7 which is a 216% percent increase from last year
pro palestinian protestors are being called terrorists and terrorist-supporters
celebrities like amy schumer, brett gelman, karlie kloss, noah schnapp + more are spreading lies and propoganda against muslims
this is why its so frustrating to me when celebs like noah schnapp and amy schumer are sitting in there million dollar penthouses saying they're "scared." no, you have nothing to be afraid of. the world governments are clearly standing with YOU and protecting YOU. muslim women wearing a hijab are scared. muslim mothers and fathers are scared. muslims that can't openly practice their faith are scared.
muslims have been suffering in their own countries AND in america. we've always been afraid. how can we not when a muslim child was stabbed 26 times, simply because he was muslim? how can we not when people are asking to take a stand against muslims? how can we not when a genocide is happening and no one is doing anything to stop it?
