A judge has sentenced a man who scrawled anti-Muslim graffiti at bus stops in Durham Region to five months in jail.

The man, Joseph Porto, scrawled “no more Muslims”; this can be interpreted in the worst possible manner, as genocidal and hence reprehensible; but it could also be interpreted as a statement regarding immigration restrictions. He stated that he felt people were “taking advantage of living in this country.”

Judge Justice Ferhan Javed stated that “Mr. Porco’s message was both hateful and hurtful to the community and needs to be deterred.”

Did the punishment fit the crime? Why are Islamic hate preachers who explicitly call for the murder of Jews not being jailed? Ditto for those who incite violence against Zionists and Jews during al Quds day rallies.

Back in February, a hate crimes complaint was “filed with Toronto police against a downtown mosque whose imam allegedly called for killing Jews.” The Masjid Toronto is affiliated with the Muslim Association of Canada — an organization inspired by Muslim Brotherhood founder Hassan al-Banna.

What action has been taken on that complaint?
