- New Motion brought to the floor in the House of Commons asking the government to recognize the need to quell the increasing public climate of hate and fear, and to condemn Islamophobia, and all forms of systemic racism, religions discrimination
- Many other additional calls for various steps to help address these and related issues
- The motion was introduced in December, before the murder of six Muslims in a Quebec mosque
- Far right extremists, bloggers, politicians, and others have started claiming that it's an attack of freedom of expression
- Mass fearmongering that this will allow sharia law in Canada, which is baseless and skewed
- All Conservative leadership candidates except one have decided to vote against the bill based on bogus reasoning
- The need to sign an online petition to your local MP at www.endhatred.ca
- Islamophobia is a problem among the far-right elements in the West, and Salafism is a problem among the Wahhabis in the Muslim world.
- When thoughts and disagreements reach the level of violence, the line has been crossed
- Wahhabi terrorist attack in Pakistan at a Sufi shrine, suicide bomber killing 70 people.
- The lack of a strong and sustained effort to eliminate violence against minorities
- Experts say the lack of action on Pakistans part is due to their dependency on Saudi and Gulf financial support.

"There should be no problem voting for a motion that condemns all forms of systemic racism, religious discrimination, and a public climate of hate. But the far-right have started claiming that it's an attack on freedom of expression, starting fearmongering that this will supposedly allow sharia law in Canada."

"The best response to the opposition of Motion 103, comes from Heritage Minister Melanie Joly: “They’re scared of denouncing Islamophobia and by not denouncing Islamophobia, they are actually contributing to the problem.”"
