(IPT) The government of Canada plans to funnel $23 million into a multicultural program, Member of Parliament Iqra Khalid announced last week.
The money is an outgrowth of Canada’s M-103 “systemic racism and religious discrimination” bill that called on the government to “condemn Islamophobia and all forms of systemic racism and religious discrimination.”
It is not clear how the money will be divided, but Islamic Relief Canada and the National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM), formerly known as CAIR-CAN, are poised to receive significant amounts.
That’s a problem because both groups have been accused of supporting terrorists.
NCCM is the Canadian chapter of the Council [on] American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). Islamic Relief Canada is a branch of Islamic Relief Worldwide.
