#You’re not fucking oppressed for being catholic IN CANADA
Text
Someone needs to explain to Canadian Catholics that a truly oppressed and marginalized religious group would not have their own publicly funded school system that is such a normalized part of society that few people ever really truly question its existence.

So a new bill (Bill M-103) was enacted in my country and some people in Parliament are stating that it could most likely result in bringing in Sharia Law. Now i'm sitting down terrified for my family and what that could mean for us, especially my 9 year old sister, and my friends. The thing is, here, you can't protect yourself with anything that is considered a weapon like a knife or you could most likely find yourself getting arrested and thrown in jail for assault.
If any country was going to adopt Sharia it would either be Canada or Sweden, both as weak and ashamed of themselves as each other. This so called bill is to protect Muslims from “Islamophobia” - so pretty much anything that is said about Islam that somebody doesn’t like, well you’re pretty much doomed. This is essentially already Sharia, if you criticize Allah or Muhammad then you will be punished, there’s little difference between strict Sharia Law and M-103. 
It’s all about the outcry of Islamophobia but there’s so many faults with this idea. You’d think if such a drastic measure was made to abolish words being said about Islam, then surely Muslims are the greatest victims of hate crimes? Nope, Jews are by FAR the greatest targets and victims but because Islam wants Jews dead, nobody wants to talk about it. So if Muslims aren’t being hated against, then surely their mosques are being targeted? Nope, Catholic churches are being vandalized and targeted far more than mosques, we never hear about it though, do we? So where the fuck is this idea of Islamophobia coming from? 
Well, it’s Muslims themselves who are using this word to introduce blasphemy laws. Remember, 1 in 4 moderate British Muslims support the introduction of Sharia law rather than the laws laid down by parliament. Canada seems to be the first and only ones stupid enough to be fooled by the word Islamophobia and it’s use to justify the introduction of the West’s version of Sharia. 
Let’s find out what the guy who popularized the word “Islamophobia” thinks of it now, especially now it’s being used to manipulate and deceive so many of us. The former head of Britain’s Equalities and Human Rights Commission, Trevor Phillips, commissioned “Islamophobia: a challenge for us all“ - a report into Britain and Islamophobia. This phrase has now been popularized and has become synonymous with any criticism - legitimate or not - of Islam or Muslims.
This was back in 1997, today he admits he “got almost everything wrong” on Muslim immigration and Muslim integration, segregation and how the followers of Islam are creating “nations within nations” in the West.” Before you say it lefties, no this isn’t a white supremacist far-right Nazi, this is a black guy who is the Deputy Chairman of the Board of the National Equality Standard and who was head of the Commission for Racial Equality responsible for combating discrimination and promoting equality across all grounds, the very person who introduced us to the idea of “Islamophobia”. 
“Liberal opinion in Britain has, for more than two decades, maintained that most Muslims are just like everyone else. Britain desperately wants to think of its Muslims as versions of the sweet Great British Bake Off winner Nadiya Hussain, or the cheeky-chappie athlete Mo Farah. But thanks to the most detailed and comprehensive survey of British Muslim opinion yet conducted, we now know that just isn’t how it is.” 
Phillips says his new data shows “a chasm” opening between Muslims and non-Muslims on fundamental issues such as marriage, relations between men and women, schooling, freedom of expression and even the validity of violence in defence of religion. While he notes that many Muslims in Britain are grateful to be here, and do identify with role models such as Hussain and Farah, there is a widening gap in society with many Muslims segregating themselves.
“We estimated that the Muslim population of the UK would be approaching 2 million by 2020. We underestimated by nearly a million. We predicted that the most lethal threat to Muslims would come from racial attacks and social exclusion. We completely failed to foresee the the atrocities in Madrid, Paris, Istanbul, Brussels and London.”
“For a long time, I too thought that Europe’s Muslims would become like previous waves of migrants, gradually abandoning their ancestral ways, wearing their religious and cultural baggage lightly, and gradually blending into Britain’s diverse identity landscape. I should have known better.”
“It’s not as though we couldn’t have seen this coming. But we’ve repeatedly failed to spot the warning signs,” he admits.
Phillips even acknowledges that the mass sexual grooming and rape scandals that are plaguing heavily Muslim populated towns across Britain are because of Muslim - not ‘Asian’ men. He writes: “The contempt for white girls among some Muslim men has been highlighted by the recent scandals in Rotherham, Oxford, Rochdale and other towns all over Europe. But this merely reflects a deeply ingrained sexism that runs through Muslim communities.”
“Oddly, the biggest obstacles we now face in addressing the growth of this nation-within-a-nation are not created by British Muslims themselves. Many of our (distinctly un-diverse) elite political and media classes simply refuse to acknowledge the truth. Any undesirable behaviours are attributed to alienation and injustice against them. Backing for violent extremism must be the fault of the Americans. Oppression of women is a cultural trait that will fade with time, nothing to do with the true face of Islam.” 
“Even when confronted with the growing pile of evidence to the contrary, and the angst of the liberal minority of British Muslims, clever, important people still cling to the patronizing certainty that British Muslims will, over time, come to see that “our” ways are better.” In terms of solutions, Mr. Phillips opines on “halting the growth of sharia courts and placing them under regulation.” His comments echo those of the Czech president, and research from across Europe that revealed attitudes amongst Muslims on the continent have hardened. The younger the Muslim, the more likely they are to hold hard-line views.
Phillips has spoken on the need for free speech to “allow people to offend each other.” These comments came after the protests against the Danish cartoons satirising the Islamic prophet, Muhammad which sparked protests in the Muslim world. He stated: “One point of Britishness is that people can say what they like about the way we should live, however absurd, however unpopular it is.” He has warned that Britain’s current approach to multiculturalism could cause Britain to "sleepwalk towards segregation”.
Anyone with blue hair or a women’s studies major threatened to move to Canada if Trump won, so don’t worry I won’t have one of those moments. It just seems now anyone with common sense or anyone who cares about freedom probably should look to get their poutine from somewhere else. Today “Islamophobia” has introduced Sharia to the West, it won’t be long before refusing to wear burqas is Islamophobic and the government enforces it. As if that would ever happen, you must be thinking? Well, we never imagined a Western country would adopt Sharia and criminalize free speech either.
