Rahim Mohamed: Islamophobia czar Amira Elghawaby is unfit for office
One contributing factor to this newfound brazenness amongst anti-Israel rabble-rousers is undoubtedly that people in positions of influence are sending them a signal that their hateful actions are justified. Take, for instance, Amira Elghawaby, Canada’s special representative on combating Islamophobia, who on Monday tweeted that she was concerned that the “problematic speech” of “a few individual protesters” is fuelling “deliberate efforts to smear all (pro-Palestinian) protesters with one brush.”
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau can take an important step toward restoring Canada’s sanity by relieving the self-evidently unfit Amira Elghawaby from her post as Islamophobia czar.
