Report: Canada anti-Semitism at all-time high

We have similar incidences recorded against Muslims in Canada since 911.

In London, Ontario a Mosque was attacked and ransacked and in Ottawa a Muslim school was vandalized.

The Problem is hate and fear from all sides as well as misconceptions and prejudices.

We hear similar incidences committed against Turks in Europe or Pakistani in India and the US and so on. We need to attack the problem over all, as Trudeau tried to do in Canada with the multicultural policies that did work for a long time and have been neglected with the Conservative administrations since they where implemented in the late 70s.

While I don't condone firebombing of schools, the Israelis could do with a better image.
One finds it very hard not to be angry at the entire Jewish populace after what happened in Gaza.

nicely said mate.. any form of hate on the basis of race and religion should be condemned.
what is wrong and insensitive to say about Jewish people should be also wrong to say about other believers or non-believers or people with different sexual orientations
you see, the same people who would rightly condemn atrocities and persecution  Jewish people have received from both Muslims and Christians would remain quiet, look away or even dismiss the events if the victims have been Muslims and more importantly and unfortunately Palestinians. Since 911, the word human rights has been ripped off from anyone who happens to be a Muslim. 
Re blaming Jews for economic slowdown  is an outrage. But an anti-Israeli sentiment due to Gaza offensive shouldn’t be confused with anti-Semitism.  Attacking random Jews, their homes and business is unjustified and is anti-Semitism.
But criticising and condemning the Israeli atrocities against the Palestinians is right. A true friend is one who can openly criticise the wrong actions of his friend and doesn’t keep quiet in fear of loosing the friend.

Thanks for your comments Amaad.

I am not so willing to say that Israel committed "atrocities" in Gaza. Once again it is easy to say but difficult to prove. The fact is there is little proof but lots of hearsay. I know that it is the thing to say, even off the cuff, as if it were true and even politically correct. But the facts on the ground to not provide a proof positive to "atrocities". The killing of 100,000's of people in Darfur is an atrocity that we can all agree on. It was a war in Gaza between a terrorist organization Hamas that took the strip by force and the Israeli army.

I appreciate your eloquence and sincerity.

I must like to point out one thing while my visit back in Pakistan recently when I saw a business with the "Star of David (the Jewish Prophet, Peace be Upon Him). and it was a pleasant surprise and I felt vindicated saying to my self.. hey we have Pakistani Jews as well who are proud to show their religious symbol without any fear.I wanted to take a picture and write about it but due to the current situation I thought it was not a good idea as it may present a soft target to fanatics.
The city of Medina which Muhammad (peace be upon him) founded was totally different in terms of working to what Taliban  see as an Islamic state. Jews and Christians lived in peace and during Ali's reign in the matters of disputes Jews used to walk away with decisions in their favours. Ali himself used to work for a Jewish businessman in his garden.
Now one might put a list of other instances where Jews suffered horrific violence at the hands of Muslims and I would never ever contest that. all I am trying to say is perhaps there is a tiny dot of good in us Muslims which might one day bring us together.
re your take on atrocities.. I think I generally agree  with what you are saying.  specially the genocide/ atrocities in Africa are at apocalyptic level and sadly didnt get that much attention as was due.
 Strangely, for you maybe, I see Pakistan and Israel in the same place or identical, both countries born on the bases of religion and their people’s right to live in peace and freedom without fear who chose to or were fortunate enough to make it to their respective countries. Both surrounded by unfriendly and disapproving countries. Challenged for their ideology and threatened to be dissolved. But there is one good thing about Israel which Pakistan needs to pick is the amount of resilience its people showed, their patriotism and their hard work for their nation building.. ok, it was poured with American money but it was the Israelis who actually fought and came out victorious in all Arab-Israel conflicts and they way they did it has become a universal military text book material.

 A little fuel and you get all heated with hate. Mmmm.

I see the same hate filled antisemite pounced on this one. What a shocker.
