Canadians would be horrified and rightfully so if mosques or synagogues were being burnt down..



But, it's open season on churches.





For some twisted reasons the burning of churches does not horrify a certain cohort of Canadians



There have been assaults on Muslims, some deadly. There has been arson attack after attack on churches. Vandalism against sacred symbols is becoming the norm. Social media pours forth hate speech toward people of faith. Twitter doesn't seem to care.



And this rising vitriol is not a result of animosity between Muslims or Christians. Something stranger is going on.



Most Westerners are familiar with the term Islamophobia: Canadian politicians and others cite it often. As they do the scourge of anti-Semitism. Christophobia (which is also known as Christianophobia or anti-Christianity) is much less invoked: It's virtually never named by Canada's elected officials or commentators.



The extended definitions of Islamophobia and Christophobia, however, often refer to how the fear and dislike of these religions is "irrational." That's a crucial distinction, because there is little wrong with rational criticism of Christianity or Islam or any other world view, including atheism.



A Muslim family was mowed down last month in a planned truck attack in London, Ont. Last week in Hamilton a Muslim woman and her daughter were openly threatened. These Islamophobic outrages come four years after a gunman killed six people attending a mosque in Quebec City.



And in the past month Christophobia has led to 25 Canadian churches across the country being burned to the ground, defaced or vandalized. In Surrey this week a Coptic Orthodox Church, frequented mostly by immigrants from Egypt, was destroyed by fire.



While many Indigenous leaders are angry at the legacy of the defunct school system, dozens of chiefs have decried the destruction of churches, including those on First Nations territory — given that a majority of Indigenous people are Christian.



Many "allies" of Indigenous people, however, are too ignorant and arrogant to listen to the chiefs' messages.



Harsha Walia, executive director of the once-venerable B.C. Civil Liberties Association, reacted to a tweet about the arson of two Catholic churches by remarking, "Burn it all down."



For some twisted reasons the burning of churches does not horrify a certain cohort.

We wouldn't tolerate the torching of one mosque let alone dozens.

We all know that.

One chalk writing on a musque = bring in huge CSIS forces and result in hate crime (I may get to see CSIS for that one)



Burning down a church = maybe a wrist slap, and that's only if local police  bother to investigate as CSIS doesn't want to hear about it



Jeez we are an upside-down society

Trudy > "We're Going To Move Forward" Says Trudeau On Islamophobia Summit Demands



According to conservative journalist and social critic Ezra Levant, the demands contain "more police and political tools than Pakistan to hunt down anything judged to be critical of Islam."

That's good. I was worried True Dope wouldn't impose blasphemy laws.

A number of Ukrainian Catholic Churches are among the now over 50 churches that have been vandalized, burned and desecrated in Canada this summer.



The Ukrainian Catholic Church was never part of the residential school system. This violence is wrong in any case, but it also shows the profound historical ignorance of those who use or justify violence.



I am Ukrainian Orthodox, not Ukrainian Catholic.

They are being egged on by big government, big tech, big media, and a woke academia.
