Another day. Another terrorist incident with multiple deaths and another report of an imam delivering a highly toxic sermon promoting violence against the Jewish people.

The latter incident comes via Michael Mostyn, CEO of B’nai Brith Canada, whose organization reported the Montreal imam, Muhammad bin Musa al Nasr, to the hate crimes unit of the Montreal police Tuesday.

In his speech, delivered (and recorded) last Dec. 23 at Montreal’s Dar al-Arkam mosque, the imam contends that Jews are “the most evil of mankind” before quoting from a religious text (associated with the Qur’an) that at the end of time ... the stone and tree will say: ‘Oh Muslim, oh servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me — come and kill him!”

It was the second such message delivered by a Montreal imam and reported to Montreal police.

Mostyn says the investigation of the second complaint, filed 43 days ago, is still “ongoing.”

Neither imam has yet been charged with any offence.

Efforts to reach Al Nasr at his Montreal mosque were unsuccessful Wednesday.

That said, I believe the M-103 anti-Islamophobia motion to be voted on in Parliament Thursday night has not helped.

As Mostyn says, the whole idea of “Islamaphobia” is not defined and can be construed to mean many things, including an “irrational fear” or aversion to Islam.

We’ve already seen how polarized the debate over this motion has been and the ugly protests for and against.

There are many reasons for the rise in terrorism, too many to mention here.

But the M-103 motion is part of a continuum of political correctness gone mad worldwide that, I believe, has enabled terrorist and other hate crimes.

M-103 is neither fish nor fowl. What it will do, in my view, is make those who might criticize, or lodge criminal action against imams spewing hate feel a kind of libel chill, a reticence to fight back for fear of being branded, well, Islamophobic, or irrationally fearful of Islam.

Yet don’t we as Canadians consider ourselves a proud mosaic of different cultures that are supposed to co-exist peacefully as one nation?

Whatever happened to that?

How does singling out Islamaphobia — to the exclusion of other religions and which I don’t happen to believe is as big an issue as we’re led to believe — build acceptance, unity and tolerance?

If anything it encourages the exact opposite.

We only need to look at the February massacre at a Quebec City mosque as an example.

Instead of trying to legislate how we think and feel, perhaps this government would be better placed to clamp down on legitimate crimes of hate like the vitriol spewed by the Montreal imams.

And they might stop burying their heads in the sand.

The barn door has opened, and terrorism poses a real threat to all of us.

Just ask the poor people who lost family members in London Wednesday.
