EDITOR’S NOTE (Nick Stamatakis): We have witnessed signs of convergence of all faith groups in the last couple of years as the leftist woke ideology tried to push their destructive ideologies in the educational system on our underage children. In Canada, all these faith groups are up in arms demonstrating against “wokism”; Prime Minister Trudeau (yes the same guy who just a couple of days ago was clapping in honor of a 98-yr old former Nazi soldier during WWII) said that all these parents are “haters”.  Here is how a national Muslim group responded:

QUESTION TO OUR CHURCH LEADERS: When will you open your mouth and say something against this insanity coming upon our children? When are you going to take a position against the destruction of our youth? You see the Churches empty, and you are wondering why. But you stay silent in front of this hurricane of “wokism”?  And you Elpidoktonos, you went a few days ago to the annual blessing of the only Greek-American high school in the country, Astoria; you saw the half-empty auditorium, BUT you did not wonder why. Parents take their children out of public schools and place them in private and religious schools for this reason and this reason only: to save them from the teachers’ unions and their LGBTQ agenda.  Catholic Schools in NY had increased enrollment this fall, BUT St. Demetrios School of Astoria lost 20%! Why? Because parents are not sure which policy the school and GOARCH follow.  They have seen multiple signs that YOU, AB Elpidoktonos QUIETLY support using homosexuality to destroy our children.  A TRUE LEADER STAYS AHEAD OF THE CONCERNS OF HIS TIME, LIKE IAKOVOS DID.

BELOW IS THE NEWS FROM CANADA.

National Muslim Group Asks Trudeau to Apologize for ‘Inflammatory’ Comment on Parents’ Rights Protest

A pan-Canadian Muslim group is asking Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and others to retract and apologize for their comments made with respect to the March for Children on Sept. 20, saying they used their influence to “unjustly demonize families” and “alienate countless students.”

The Muslim Association of Canada issued a statement on the platform X on Sept. 25, saying it “strongly condemns remarks on recent protests made by certain politicians, including our Prime Minister, as well as statements from school boards, unions, and reports from some media outlets.”

The group, which claims to be the largest grass-roots Muslim organization in Canada with chapters in 13 cities, says that characterizing the protests as hateful sets a “dangerous precedent.”

Thousands of people marched across the country to protest against gender ideology being taught in schools and for the rights of parents to have primacy over their children, instead of that being in the hands of learning establishments and governments.

Mr. Trudeau posted on social media on Sept. 20 coinciding with the cross-country protests, saying, “Let me make one thing very clear: Transphobia, homophobia, and biphobia have no place in this country.”

“We strongly condemn this hate and its manifestations, and we stand united in support of 2SLGBTQI+ Canadians across the country—you are valid and you are valued.”

Unions also planned counter-protests to the parents’ march and a videoconference of their leaders organizing was leaked online. They also said that parents and others who oppose the Sexual Orientation and Gender Ideology curricula are hateful.

“We’ve seen where they’re targeting and what they’re doing, which is the insidious ways that they’re saying that they are protecting children, and we know that, far from protecting children, this is actually an attack on children and on communities,” one organizer said.

Liberal MP Andy Fillmore also called protesters “far-right bozos” who are “marching in the streets today under the ruse of standing up for Canada’s kids.”

“This is what bigots do—they mask their hatred under the cover of fake causes because they know we won’t accept it for what it really is: hate,” he wrote on X.

The Muslim Association of Canada (MAC) said in its statement that thousands of Muslims and other faith-based groups protested to be heard and not to “sow division.”

“Parents should have the absolute right to advocate for the wellbeing of their children,” it says.

The group says that comments by the prime minister and others could lead to Muslim students being bullied in school or “coerced into activities that contradict their faith.”

MAC is asking for politicians and school boards to retract their “deeply inflammatory and divisive comments” and apologize to parents and protesters.

MAC says on its website that its “understanding of Islam is one of balance and moderation, constructive engagement in society, focus on personal and communal empowerment, and establishing value-based organizations, as articulated in the writings of the renowned reformist, Imam Hasan Al-Banna.”

Mr. Al-Banna founded the Muslim Brotherhood in the 1920s, which developed into a globally influential religious and political organization.
