Canadian Parliament Passes Anti-Islamophobia Motion
The Canadian parliament has passed a landmark anti-Islamophobia and religious discrimination motion that calls on politicians to condemn anti-Islamic behaviour and rhetoric.
The vote follows months of fierce debate in Canada, including protests from both the motion’s supporters and detractors.
Opponents argued the private members’ motion, which calls on the government to “condemn Islamophobia and all forms of systemic racism and religious discrimination”, will limit free speech in the country and single out Islam for special treatment.

Saudi Arabia’s Web of Hate Is Spreading One of the Worst Forms of Islam – and This Is Where It Leads
Its roots lie in the Middle East and its web of hate spreads across the globe. But it is also here in Britain — and growing.

Democracy in Islam: Abdur Raheem Green
This is a Muslim's view of democracy. It is a typical view of most devout Muslims. So, are Western politicians listening to him? They would do well to do so, since they are deluded when they think that democracy and Islam are compatible. – Mark

Lord Heseltine Suggests Brexit Vote Allows Germany to Win World War Two
The former deputy Prime Minister said the UK's decision to leave the EU meant Germany had been "handed the opportunity" to become the dominant player in Europe.
He said that America would also now turn towards Germany and away from Britain.
Speaking to the House magazine, he said: “We’ve now abandoned the opportunity to influence Europe, the council of ministers will meet and we won’t be there.
