Attention Islamic Schools: Liberals Are Coming to Shut You Down?+Yvonne Ridley Columns
?
![]() Syed Jawed Anwar Islamic Foundation School, Nugget, Scarborough, was unionized last year. The result is that the high school has been closed and the elementary school (KG to 8) is struggling to exist. The Islamic Institute of Toronto Academy, Islamic Elementary School, was unionized last year. Now they are now barely making it. ?
![]() By Yvonne Ridley I am really frustrated by the way Middle East despots and dictators trash human rights, commit war crimes and genocide while the rest of the largely male-dominated governments signed up to the United Nations look the other way. Sorry but the white, male, stale grey suits hanging out with US President Donald Trump are hard to differentiate from the suits surrounding Putin in the Kremlin, the leader in China and the other men sitting at the United Nations Security Council. if they're not committing atrocities they're not stopping them either. ![]() By Yvonne Ridley ?Calls to compensate the descendants of Britain's vile slave trade are always dismissed by Establishment figures as being too impractical but there are families in the UK who are still benefitting today from the slave economy. ?Furthermore, the British taxpayer just completed paying off government debts in 2015 accrued when the country's wealthiest families received the modern equivalent of billions of pounds in compensation after slavery was abolished.?This should be of interest especially to America's black population, most of whom?are descendant from former slaves and not immigrants? ? ?

Manufactured Parent`s Consent-My Articles on Sex-Ed Curriculum: Before and After
My Articles on Sex-Ed Curriculum: Before and After
Published Before Announcement: 23 Nov 2014
![]() SYED JAWED ANWAR SINCE?the last few weeks, Ontario Sex Education Curriculum was ?in the media ?lime light. This sparked a various discussions in different forums. ?are angry, frustrated and losing the confidence and belief in the public education system. It has been reported that the Ministry of Education and its different agencies are asking?parents consent to implement sex education curriculum. This is a blatant lie. The fact is that: Premier Kathleen Wynne will introduce a controversial sex education curriculum into Ontario elementary schools in September 2015. Controversial because the last time the Liberal government tried to do this in 2010 - when Ms Wynne was education minister from 2006 to early 2010 - it botched it so badly then premier??killed it. (QMI Agency news published in Sun on November 9, 2014).? 06 Feb 2015
![]() SYED JAWED ANWAR Ontario¡¯s ex McGuinty liberal government and present Wynne¡¯s government have polluted the spiritual environment of Ontario in such a way that religious communities have had to hold their breath. Let¡¯s re visit and re check the changes and its purpose regarding sex education curriculum (proposed) in the light of ¡°Accepting Education Act¡± and ¡°Freedom of gender expression act¡±. This curriculum has already been implemented in the school system for several years. Changes have been made as such that now in public schools, a boy can use girls washroom and a girl can use boy¡¯s washroom and stopping them to do so is a ¡°human rights violation.¡±This has also extended to all the public washrooms. While your wife, mother, sister or daughter will use a public washroom, all of a sudden a man can enter the same washroom and you can¡¯t stop him. Freedom of gender change and expression at any time, provides opportunity for sexual predators for sexual crime by using ladies washrooms and gender neutral washrooms. 13 Feb 2018
![]() Syed Jawed Anwar If you have concern with?in public schools and gender killer education system developed by anti-generation anti human liberal ideologists,?. If you have to clean Ministry of Education from people like Ben Levin, now-convicted child pornographer who overseen the radical and extremely offensive porno style sex ed in Ontario Public funded schools, Doug Ford is your guy. |

IT IS becoming increasingly clear that the view from this side of the?Atlantic is quite different to what most Americans see but despite our differences - let's not go into the US destruction of our common language! - we remain in a special relationship, good friends and strong allies.
So, as such, it would be wrong of me to remain silent over the latest?not go into the US destruction of our common language! - we remain in a special relationship, good friends and strong allies.

Blame Goes to Voters+Canada and Ontario Radical S-x Ed.
By Yvonne Ridley ![]() I WAS?determined not to write about the American president in this column but Donald Trump keeps saying and doing things which make it impossible to ignore, like some needy, spoiled brat that demands the attention of those around him. With each hour he brings a new low and with each opinion that tumbles forth from his mouth he disrespects and undermines his own position as the leader of the so-called free world. Canada's Radical S-x Curriculum and Gender Killer Education System? ????
The FACT:? Ontario Government (Ontario Public Schools) took the lead and won "FIRST" award on this gutter education.? Dalton McGuinty and Kathleen Wynn implemented SOGI in 2013 after Bill 13 passed in 2012; "New Accepting Education".?? We invited Phil Lees from PEACE in 2012 and 2013. Check his video (shorter version) of the speech of Phil Lees.? Br. Yunus Pandor introduced him.?Check my notes (caption) of the video..The 2015 Ontario Schools radical s-x Curriculum was the continuation of Bill 13 and New Accepting Education Act brought by Dalton Mc Guinty and Kathleen Wynne in 2012. I believe that if we lost this opportunity (coming June 7 Ontario Election) to defeat WYNNE government, we will? ""slaughter" our children spiritually and morally by our own hands. ?Read my other articles at? Please forward, circulate, share, email, and discuss with the people. ? ??

Making 2018 Count

By Yvonne Ridley
I AM now home from Cox¡¯s Bazar on the `Bangladesh-Myanmar border and appreciate my surrounds like never before. I am sitting here in the secure knowledge that no one is going to threaten or drive me and my family from our home. It makes me feel warm and safe but it also makes me feel sad because it is a feeling that is denied to the Rohingya people.

By Yvonne Ridley
WELL?my dear American brothers and sisters, another year is drawing to a close and it is only natural we look back on the last 12 months before we go charging in to 2018 with renewed vigor and hope.
The heralding of the New Year also gives us a great chance to reflect on the first anniversary of US President Donald Trump's performance on the world stage as well as in his own back yard.??

POTUS has just imposed sanctions on a Myanmar general accused of leading an ethnic cleansing campaign against the Rohingya people. I cheered loudly at the news from my bunker in Cox's Bizar where I am spending the next few days talking to Rohingya refugees stuck in a plastic and bamboo tent city on the Myanmar border with Bangladesh.? ![]() Syed Jawed Anwar We will not recommend parents to send their children to public-funded schools of Ontario, Canada (or anywhere in North America) for the reasons given in my??on this issue.

Yvonne Ridley NELSON Mandela¡¯s grandson, Chief Mandla Mandela MP, arrived in Palestine on Sunday morning for a historic visit to the nation his grandfather so admired. During his time in Palestine it is expected he will hold several meetings with Palestinian leaders including one with the beleaguered, unpopular 83-year-old President Mahmoud Abbas. ?
Abu Saad THE month of Rabiul Awwal started and, with this, Seerah conferences started all over North America.

Sister Yvonne Ridley latest Columns at As-Seerah
Yvonne Ridley The news which reaches this side of the Atlantic usually revolves around some insulting tweet or the latest weird appointment your president has made from The White House. Donald Trump dominates the news so much, he is the news when it comes to events in the USA and so distracts all meaningful discussion and debate of what is really happening elsewhere in America. ?
By Yvonne Ridley It seems to be widely accepted now that the biggest civilian threat posed to Americans is ... erm, Americans - angry white guys to be precise.I can't begin to understand exactly how the good people of Sutherland Springs will come to terms with the mass shooting which must have blighted the lives of all who live in the tiny community. With a population of around 600, it's not an exaggeration to say almost every home there must have been affected by Sunday's shooting at First Baptist Church. ?

Gender Genocide in Canada-5: Masjid-Alternate of Public Education
?
![]() Jawed Anwar
I HEARD?from my parent that long time ago in our grandparents¡¯ time, flood inundated our town and water entered homes at the lower plains. Several families had to leave their houses and take shelter in my grandparents¡¯ residence at a higher plain. Such hospitality is the natural way of supporting each other and living together in a town or village. People living on higher ground hold the hands of those on lower ground. Human beings cannot survive without this culture of living together and helping one another. |

Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) in Torah and Gospel+Current Affairs

![]() ? Syed Abul A'ala Maududi ? [Translated from the book "Seerat e Sarwar e Aalam ?", Chapter ¡°The Importance of Prophethood of Muhammad (pbuh)", by Syed Abul A'ala Maududi]? ? An Important saying of Jesus, peace be upon him; ¡°And call?to mind when Jesus, son of Mary, said: ¡°O Children of Israel, I am Allah's Messenger to you, I verify the Torah which has come before me, and I give you the glad tiding of a Messenger who shall come after me, his name being Ahmad.¡± --------------------------- ?
![]() Yvonne Ridley The emergence of Black Lives Matter is an indication of the serious escalation of racism and bigotry in America these days which is obviously felt around the US hence the emergence of the #taketheknee protests. US President Donald Trump might be in denial but it is obvious there is institutional racism in your back yard, but there are equally sinister agendas at play over here in the UK albeit a tad more subtle. I'm referring the frenzy over speculation that Prince Harry will shortly announce his engagement to US actress Meghan Markle and now some of the British media have even begun the process of white-washing her gene pool! |

Views Update: Seerah+Current Affairs- Jawed Anwar+Yvonne Ridley+Elder George
![]() By Syed Abul A'ala Maududi (Translated from the book "Seerat e Sarwar e Aalam ?", Chapter ¡°The Importance of Prophethood of Muhammad (pbuh) and Its Arguments)? Quran Says; ?¡°(O Prophet), you did not recite any Book before, nor did you write it down with your hand; for then the votaries of falsehood would have had a cause for doubt. But it is a set of Clear Signs in the hearts of those who have been endowed with knowledge.¡± () The basis of the argument in this verse is that the Prophet (peace be upon him) was unlettered. His compatriots and his kinsmen among whom he had spent his whole life, from birth to old age, knew fully that he had never read a book nor ever handled a pen. ![]() Syed Jawed Anwar FEW?years ago, I was sitting with some of Ulema (scholars of Islam) in Toronto at a dinner party. I initiated, ¡°I have a question if any one among you will prefer to answer.¡± Then, I asked a question: ¡°History proves that wherever, whenever, Muslims migrated and entered into any country, the darkness of the society started disappearing, and finally light engulfed the whole nation. As Muslims¡¯ presence increased, the light overcame the darkness. But now things have completely changed. It is going opposite now. The population of Muslims in Canada have increased tremendously in last twenty-five or thirty years. Now we have hundreds of Masajid, Islamic Centers, Madrasas and countless number of Huffaz and ulema. We have about one million Muslims in Canada. However, the darkness of the society in social evils increased in a much higher proportion than our presence.?Why is this difference?¡±? ?
![]() Yvonne Ridley OF?the many revelations I discovered on my spiritual journey to Islam one that completely blew me away was just how environmentally friendly and green is this great faith. Reading through the pages of the Holy?Qur¡¯an, it is abundantly clear that God, as our Creator, made we humans trustees of our beautiful planet. For instance in Surah 30:30 we are instructed: "Devote thyself single-mindedly to the Faith, and thus follow the nature designed by Allah, the nature according to which He has fashioned mankind. There is no altering the creation of Allah".? ?
![]() Elder George THE?universe contains the structure and order enabling all life to function, preserve itself, and propagate. Structure provides parameters to function within, and order provides reliability of events and responses to action. Imagine not knowing the time of the phases of the moon or of sunrise, the constancy of the pull of gravity, the temperatures at which liquids vaporize and solidify, the frequency, duration, and height of tides, and the change of seasons. Life could not function and would soon cease if such a lack of order prevailed. |

Can Palestinians Forgive and Forget? -Yvonne Ridley in Johannesburg
?
![]() Yvonne Ridley in Johannesburg Few believed the Palestinian groups of Hamas and Fatah could finally bury the hatchet when both sides came together for reconciliation in Cairo recently but that is exactly what happened. Watching the whole drama from his offices thousands of miles away in South Africa was hero of the anti-Apartheid struggle 87-year-old Laloo Isu Chiba who knows the pain and sacrifice revolutionaries have to make if they are to overcome oppression and brutal regimes. The former Robben Island inmate and friend of the late Nelson Mandela applauded the successful outcome of the Hamas-Fatah meeting and then he talked of the importance of forgiveness if the Palestinians hope to move forward in their 70-year fight to win back their lands.? |

The Rohingya Muslims+Indian Supreme Court Judgement
??????????? ?
![]() "The population of the Rohingya Muslims is being continuously annihilated as per a blue print of ethnic cleansing." Dr. Firoz Mahboob Kamal The pure evil of state-terrorism Double standard has become the most established norm in world politics; one rule for the Muslims and another rule for the non-Muslims is now visible everywhere. If a terrorist attack takes place in a western city by a Muslim, the western governments, the European Union, the media outfits, even the UN Security Council, spare no time to condemn it. The US President Donald Trump quickly grabs it as an opportunity to express anger and hatred against Islam. Such condemnation by the western leaders is very selective -only to promote their anti-Muslim bias and animosity. Because of such hateful mind-set, any act of terrorism even by a lone Muslim bomber ¨Cwithout any involvement of any Muslim state or institution, is labelled as Islamic terrorism. Thus, Islam ¨Cthe religion of 1.6 billion Muslims gets vilified. But such condemnation doesn¡¯t happen if the Muslims become the target of non-Muslim terrorists. ? ![]() Dr. Javed Jamil IN?another ¡°remarkable¡± judgment, the Supreme Court?on October 11,?held that sexual intercourse by a man with his wife, who is below 18 years of age, is rape. A girl child below the age of 18 cannot be treated as a commodity having no say over her body or someone who has no right to deny sexual intercourse to her husband, the Supreme Court held. ¡°Human rights of a girl child are very much alive and kicking whether she is married or not and deserve recognition and acceptance,¡± a Bench of Justices Madan B. Lokur and Deepak Gupta observed. The Court has ruled that it amounts to rape even if it is with consent. The Judgment is in line with the modern ideologies that have taken every possible step to weaken the institution of marriage. I will like to quote here from my coming book, ¡°Economics First or Health First?¡±: |
