Contact the Toronto Star to tell them why you support the Prime Minister’s office in accurately labeling the National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM) a Hamas-linked terror organization.
COUNTER NCCM by writing to the Toronto Star editor expressing your disgust for the NCCM intimidation tactics and your support for the Prime Minister’s position on the NCCM to [email protected].
Here is the whining letter from: Ihsaan Gardee, Executive Director of the National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM). It sounds exactly like the crap we hear from CAIR on a daily basis.
The Star One would think it unfathomable in Canada that the heart of our democratic government – the Prime Minister’s Office – would use the bullying tactics of undemocratic regimes to silence dissenters, but it has.
Our organization, a mainstream Canadian NGO has worked tirelessly to protect civil liberties for over a decade, was recently smeared by the PMO as being affiliated with a banned terrorist group. Why? Because we dared to exercise our right to criticize Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s decision to take someone (a Jewish rabbi) on his trip to the Middle East who praised individuals widely recognized as anti-Muslim activists.
Rather than respond to the legitimate concerns in our open letter to the prime minister, the PMO’s communications director dismissively stated that we have “documented ties to a terrorist organization such as Hamas.”
Excuse us? Since when does government publicly accuse Canadians of criminal affiliations without a shred of evidence? Wait – don’t answer that question.
Among the vast portfolio of advocacy work we’ve done over the years, including standing up for Canadians like Maher Arar, we’ve seen first-hand how leaping to false conclusions can have devastating effects on people’s lives.
When Arar heard we’d been targeted by the PMO, he issued a statement of support saying: “As a Canadian who was wrongly labeled a terrorist by journalists and by some politicians, I find the comments made by the Prime Minister’s Office with respect to the National Council of Canadian Muslims extremely disturbing … I personally know how it feels to live with such stigma on a daily basis. As put nicely in the words of Justice Dennis O’Connor ‘labels, even unfair and inaccurate ones, have a tendency to stick.’”
We’ve received public support denouncing the PMO’s actions from Amnesty International Canada, the Canadian Association of University Teachers, the Canadian and British Columbia Civil Liberties Associations, and the Canadian Association of Jews & Muslims, among others. Through our work together, they know us and our work well.
For over 14 years we have engaged with Canadians, promoting active citizenship and outreach. If the government had any concerns, why bring them to light only now? Either they have been grossly derelict in their duty to ensure public safety or this is a McCarthy-esque political witch hunt.
In addition, we have participated in major public inquiries, appeared before the Supreme Court of Canada on issues of national importance, and provided advice to security agencies on engaging communities and promoting safety. We have consistently and unequivocally spoken out against terrorism – regardless of who perpetrates it, including naming groups such as al-Qaeda, Hamas, and Al-Shabab.
In 2005 we coordinated a national statement by over 120 Canadian Imams representing hundreds of mosques across Canada which denounced terrorism and religious extremism and we subsequently met with former Prime Minister Paul Martin who recognized this initiative. Incidentally, the prime minister’s delegation also included the controversial Jewish Defense League (JDL) of Canada. Does this mean it’s fair to conclude that the PMO is linked to terrorists? Of course not, but it does mean the PMO is trying to suck and whistle at the same time.
Similarly, fringe bloggers like to trot out innuendo of wrongdoing based on a game of six degrees of separation that would never pass muster in any court of law worth its salt. Most recently, we successfully settled a claim with a full retraction from an Ottawa professor who joined in this sort of smearing.
Most shocking is that this attempt to vilify Canadian Muslims is not coming from some obscure radio shock jock but from the highest office of the land. Who does the PMO listen to? It certainly isn’t to the broad range of Canadians who support our work, or the dozens of national organizations and law enforcement agencies who know and work with us.
We weren’t the only group to raise serious concerns about the prime minister’s delegation but it looks like we were targeted to pay the price. To defend our good name, we gave legal notice for defamation to the PMO.
Prime Minister, the Canadian Muslim community is tired of being a political punching bag. And in case you have any doubt, we will neither be intimidated nor will we be silenced.
BRAVO Prime Minister Harper. Keep up the great work and don’t be intimidated by the attacks and crybaby tactics of a radical Muslim group like NCCM!

The Toronto Star does not care what we think and they will censor any comment you try to post to this story.
Hopefully, the gall of these jihadists will force the government to finally investigate them thoroughly, indict them for whatever is found and put them out of commission for good. Who appointed them to speak for Canada”s Muslims? Who funds them? We know of their past connections. Let’s nail them on their present connections.
Gee, maybe the “caricature” of Harper should stir the people to attack muslims and mosques just as they do when someone draws caricatures of their “leader”
Time to eradicate the sand”fleas”!
Sent an email to the editor. BNI is an essential intelligence source in the counter-jihad campaign. Like Florida Family Assoc. and ACT! the site plays a key role.
Thanks Uncle.
The following is a note sent to the newspaper. We can all write in support for PM Harper. Thanks for the link. ‘We fully support Canadian PM Harper’s decision about who he took with him as part of his Canadian delegation to Israel. We do not support the NCCM, which used to go by the name of Cair Canada. NCCM needs to share their positive feelings of support for the rights of Israel to exist as a country before we can even consider them as an appropriate part of the Canadian Country that fully supports Israel. NCCM needs to share their disapproval for the terrorist acts of hamas before they can begin to consider themselves as an appropriate addition to the Canadian country. Full support for PM Harper. God bless Canada. CAT.
They’re digging themselves deeper in the hole that will become their grave… so funny. They think they’re in the U.S. with Holder to protect them. What a mistake!
Will send a note to T. Star.
Here’s a different viewpoint. NCCM knows all its links to CAIR , Hamas and the MB, and much better than anyone else. So this is a fishing expedition, with NCCM, especially under its new name, as a sacrificial lamb.
IF they can get catspaw dhimmi judges to force the Harper Government to reveal what it knows, over and above what is public knowledge (albeit deliberately concealed from the general public by the MSM), they can then work on attacking the sources, (literally!) neutralizing that evidence and re-writing history.
Most Canadian institutions are about 10% of their US counterparts, in line with the ratio of national populations. I’m betting that NCCM is even less than 10% of CAIR. If they go down in flames, that’s one tenth of the impact of a similar black eye to CAIR. Besides, CAIR would NEVER take such an action with all its MB moles right up to the very top in the WH.
So it looks like a win-win proposition for them. If they ‘lose’ they are arms length from CAIR, they discover a heap of Canadian and US secrets, and they get whining rights for the next ten years, shared with every verminous leftard group under the sun.
If they win, they get big bucks from the Canadian taxpayer, and bragging rights for the next ten years, shared with every verminous leftard group under the sun. Mind you, that could be a Pyrrhic victory if for every cheering islamist and leftard (sinislam buddies) there were ten or one hundred REAL Canadians who were disgusted at NCCM and dhimmi judges, and at being robbed by johnny-cum-lately supremacist world invaders. Those REAL Canadians might also ask why NOTHING was ever mentioned in the MSM.
IF the truth is revealed in the US MSM, quite a few million Americans will have their eyes opened to who and what CAIR is and isn’t. If the MSM blatantly censors any mention of HLF or ‘unindicted co-conspirators’… then the news leaks to the US public via foreign media, including the Internet, again the public will want to know why they were kept in the dark.
So ridiculous.
Hmmmm, so let me understand this…… Muslims, NOT Canadians, want to slander, defame and attack Canadian life, along with our policies, yet want our support? Muslims are like 90 year old boobs. If supported with a bra, they stay hidden and away. But if that support bra fails, they’re all over the place, in the way and nasty. Useless bunch of tits.
The Moslem Brotherhood is the Egyptian equivalent of the Nazi Party. Hamas is the descendant of the Palestinian Moslem Brotherhood. CAIR is an extension of Hamas. The spy agency knows everything about them. Harper isn’t guessing about their links and totalitarian agenda. They are fascists who are dreaming of another holocaust in the Israel. Evil.
