(Jerusalem Post) Featured speakers who have supported terrorism, antisemitic conspiracy theories and anti-LGBTQ+ sentiments are being hosted at a Friday Toronto convention by the Muslim Association of Canada (MAC), which has received millions of dollars in funding from the Canadian government for anti-racism programs and social engagement.
The MAC Convention 2022, which is being held at a city of Toronto-owned convention center from July 1 until July 3, featured dozens of speakers in its program, some of which are highly controversial. Some comments made in support of terrorist attacks have been made as recently as May.
“We are disturbed that during its annual conference, the Muslim Association of Canada will once again feature some speakers who have publicly and repeatedly proselytized misogynistic, anti-LGBTQ+, antisemitic, and often violent beliefs that stand in stark contrast to cherished Canadian values,” said Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs national chair Gail Adelson-Marcovitz.
