News VIDEO: “Terrorists Can Speak in Canada, Pamela Geller Can’t”

Terrorists Can Speak in Canada, Pamela Geller Can’t | Daniel Greenfield, FrontPage Magazine
Every Western country is falling under the same mandate that conflates national security with not offending Muslims.

The Canadian reality is still different than the American reality.
And the Canadian reality is different than the European reality. But the gaps between the three are shrinking.

York Regional Police threatened to remove a rabbi as one
of the force’s chaplains if he hosted a controversial anti-Islamist
speaker at his Thornhill synagogue.

Insp. Ricky Veerappan, of the force’s diversity, equity and inclusion
bureau, confirmed he and officers from the service’s hate crimes unit
met with Rabbi Mendel Kaplan of the Chabad Flamingo Synagogue on
Tuesday.

Veerappan said he told Kaplan that Geller’s speech “would not be
endorsed by York Regional Police” and that the rabbi’s role as a force
chaplain would be thrown into question if he were to permit the event.

“If he did (host Geller), then we’d have to reassess our relationship
with (Kaplan),” Veerappan said. “We serve the needs of the entire
community. Some of the stuff that Ms. Geller speaks about runs contrary
to the values of York Regional Police and the work we do in engaging our
communities.”

Veerappan said a member of York Region’s Muslim community, whom he
wouldn’t identify, brought Geller’s scheduled talk to the attention of
police.

In March, the University of Toronto hosted controversial Muslim
lecturer Tariq Ramadan, who has also spoken in Toronto at the annual
Islamic faith conference, Reviving the Islamic Spirit. In October,
Pakistani politician Imran Khan, a controversial critic of the U.S. war
on terror, spoke in Brampton. Leila Khaled, a Palestinian revolutionary
from the 1970s, is set speak at University of British Columbia on May 4.

The rules are fairly straightforward. Muslims are allowed to do
anything they like because interfering with them might rile them up. And
non-Muslims are only allowed to praise Islam because otherwise Muslims
might get riled up.

There is no standard of behavior. Only a security concept that stakes
everything on not riling Muslims up.  And that means free speech goes
by the wayside.

Obama officials have engaged in similar efforts to silence and even
imprison those who burned Korans or made movies offensive to Muslims.
Every Western country is falling under the same mandate that conflates
national security with not offending Muslims.

In the name of that inoffensiveness, Muslim speakers who promote
terrorism are tolerated in order not to offend the Muslims who might
otherwise turn to terrorism. And non-Muslims who oppose terrorism are
silenced because if they speak, Muslims might turn to terrorism.

This is the upside down world that appeasement has given us where black is white and good is evil.

“Every Western country is falling under the same mandate that conflates national security with not offending Muslims.”
Translation: We’re scared sh..less of them. Those who control the sewer pipes in the media are doing their part as well. Pathetic. Oh, and don’t let the door hit ya’.

Thank you God, thank you Sun News, Please keep this alive, The withdrawal of Free Speech from the Free world.
As it was so rightly pointed out Ms Geller is, ANTI-JIHAD, Anti RADICAL islam!
So Truth is now hate Speech?
Did the York police do a proper investigation to Ms Geller’s work before threathening the Rabbi?

Pam, maybe if YOU practiced free speech for others instead of censoring relevant comments just because you don’t agree with them, you wouldn’t come across as such a hypocrite. You no longer have any credibility in my eyes.

Does anyone else find the requirement of an endorsement by the police just a bit creepy? What he really means is that he knows Jews won’t blow up the CN Tower, but that islamists might.

Maybe at long last it’s time for the Jews in Canada to get “riled up” and start to threaten to blow up buildings and kill innocent people at will.?
Then again we are talking about Jews who for the most part made it really easy to place them in the ovens without as much as lifting a finger in defense.
Since when do the Police have a say as to who or whom is allowed to speak anywhere. Their job is to maintain the peace. That is all they are supposed to do. Not be a threatening force.

Welcome to Islam Canada and it’s not the fun, fuzzy, cuddly kind that’s portrayed in islamonazi propaganda. Don’t think you’ll ever experience islamonazi terrorism? Think again.

Here’s the letter I just sent to the chief of police.
Please also write to him.
York Regional Police:
Chief Eric Jolliffe
email: [email protected]

Dear Chief Jolifee,
I heard yesterday of the pressure the police force has put on Rabbi Kaplan, threatening him with the loss of his work with the police force if he allows someone who is in favor of human rights, from gay rights to free speech rights, to speak at his synagogue.
I was too disappointed – and stunned – to answer immediately.
I have seen this kind of thing over and over.
Whom are you silencing? Pamela Geller is honest, has integrity and courage, cares to be factual, truthful. You claim that “some of the stuff that Ms. Geller speaks about runs contrary to the values of York Regional Police.” What are these values? Does the police force value keeping its head in the sand? Does it value letting itself be intimidated and bullied? Are those the values of the police force?
I thought the police were supposed to protect us, to stand up for us if someone was bullying us.
Instead you are the bullies.
The rabbi needs his job, needs the money.
Are you also afraid of your jobs if you don’t bully the rabbi? In other words, are you too afraid to stand up for human rights?
Are you afraid that you are up against a force like that Mafia? If so, you have an incredibly low opinion of whoever is putting pressure on you.
At any rate, one thing the police force seems to value is bullying someone with an excellent track record on human rights.
I ask you to reconsider.
Please get back to me.
Sincerely,
Elsa Schieder, PhD

I HOSTED PAMELA GELLER AND WAS NOT AFRAID. I WAS THREATENED and harassed. RABBIS GROW SOME BATZIM. RABBI DR. BERNHARD ROSENBERG
History lessons are often incredibly simple and blunt, yet for all our powers of reason, we often miss the most basic and uncomplicated of points: peace-loving Muslims have been made irrelevant by their silence. Peace-loving Muslims will become our enemy if they don’t speak up, they will awaken one day and find that the fanatics own them, and the end of their world will have begun.
