CALLING FOR DEATH OF JEWS NOT A HATE CRIME IN CANADA
Canada's Islamic Exception (LGF)
Canada’s “hate crime” laws do not apply to Muslims who advocate terrorism against Israelis:
Saying Israelis are ‘legitimate targets’ not a hate crime.
Police have decided not to charge a controversial Muslim leader under Canada’s hate-crime laws for suggesting on a television talk show last fall that all adult Israelis are “legitimate targets” for Palestinian terrorists.
Investigators with Halton Region police said that while the comments by Dr. Mohamed Elmasry “were described by many as [a] hate crime,” they did not meet the legal definition.
“Although the comments would be considered distasteful to many, in this context they do not constitute a criminal offence,” police said in a news release. “The comments were made during a free-flowing discussion between subject-matter experts who were encouraged to express their opinions openly on a topic of significant public interest.”
