The Liberals’ anti-Islamophobia motion, M-103, could lead to thought control, oppression, disharmony and the criminalization of non-Muslims, the House of Commons heritage committee heard Wednesday, during some of the most extreme criticism of the motion it has heard to date. The committee is currently conducting a study of racism and religious discrimination, as required by M-103, which was passed in March. But the motion does single out Islamophobia, a fact some witnesses kept returning to. “We’re not following the motion word for word,” she said. The Tories tabled a counter-motion calling for a study of religious discrimination that didn’t explicitly mention Islamophobia, but it was defeated by the Liberals.
