The authors of this article continue to claim that this motion was brought forth in response to the tragic killings in Quebec City.

The facts are that this motion was first presented in Dec 2016,  one month before the killings, and  two months after another anti-islamophobia motion had already passed unanimously in the House of Commons.

While I would understand a motion expressing outrage and sympathy for the murders, I don't understand the need to present the same motion twice.

One wonders whether the Liberals were disappointed that the first motion against islamophobia passed unanimously, and decided to present a beefed up version so as to sow disaccord.

With 69,000 signatures in support of this motion, it seems that the majority of Canada's one million plus muslims were not very interested in pursuing this.

Meanwhile, it seems that the majority of muslims are getting caught in the crossfire, as the Liberals use less moderate muslims (or is it vice versa) to pursue their agenda.
