Canada’s special representative on combating Islamophobia, Amira Elghawaby, praised a federal Guide that downplays Islamic jihad. “It contains information to counter myths and stereotypes & how to be a strong ally,” she posted on social media.

The 60-page document redefines “jihad” as a personal, metaphorical struggle, while avoiding reference to extremist violence. It also criticizes Canada's history of colonialism and discrimination against Muslims.

The timing of the Guide coincides with the planned easing of sanctions in Syria, led by the Islamist Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS). Of late, anti-Christian massacres have been perpetrated by Sunni-Islamist terrorists in the country, reported Juno News.

On Wednesday, Canada also announced $84 million in new funding for humanitarian assistance to the war-torn country.

Canada has the highest number of targeted killings of Muslims among G7 nations, according to a complementary Senate report. The Guide made no mention of Islamist brutality.

Justin Trudeau must fire Amira Elghawaby from her position as 'Canada’s Special Representative on Combating Islamophobia' due to her odious, discriminatory and polarizing comments about Quebec province.

Representative Elghawaby widely considers herself an advocate for Canada’s 1.8 million Muslims. “I have been working to ensure Canada has adequate tools to safeguard the rights and dignity of Canadian Muslims,” reads an earlier report she authored.

Elghawaby rejected a prior Conservative Party claim that her job was useless, arguing that it was needed now more than ever. Tory Leader Pierre Poilievre made the comments last December 22.

“Every time there’s a problem, Justin Trudeau creates a new bureaucracy. He creates a new high-paid position for someone with a corner office … and the problem gets worse,” he said at the time. “I think these posts are useless.” 

Former prime minister Justin Trudeau appointed Elghawaby to the $191,000-a-year role in January of 2023. The representative recently supported a Guide that would provide Muslims with special treatment in the federal service, including prayer rooms and halal food options.

She also expressed firm support for “online harms” legislation to regulate public discourse, and proposed removing harmful “stereotypes” from school books.
