Christian slapped with $12,000 'Shariah fine' for not removing shoes

'It has just shattered me. I am broken'

Canada is now fining its citizens for offending people of the Islamic faith.

John Alabi, 53, is a Christian and a landlord who lives in the Toronto area and is being ordered to pay a fine of $12,000 by the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal because he failed to remove his shoes when he entered the apartment he was renting to a Muslim couple.

His crime? Religious discrimination, according to the tribunal.

The tenants were planning to move out of his rental home, and he says he gave the couple the required 24-hours notice that he would be showing the apartment to another tenant.

They told him not to come while they were praying, and to text first. He agreed. But when they stopped answering his text messages, he showed the apartment.

The Muslim tenants waited eight months before filing their grievance with the human rights tribunal, where they receive free representation, the Toronto Sun reported. The couple even searched his Facebook page and found a joke they considered offensive and used to bolster their case. The tribunal agreed he harassed them and failed in his duty to accommodate their religious needs – and awarded them $6,000 each – plus interest.

“Somebody needs to “dox” the members of that phony “rights” commission.”

Dox, my Obamahole.

Those folks should fear for their lives, and I”m sure there are good Canadians who think in a like manner.

Of course, one could never come right out and say that.
In addition, I don’t want to issue such a blanket statement for all members of that faith. I have met some good people from that part of the world. I just make a point of not digging any deeper than I absolutely have to. I would like to know about their will to assimilate or not. It’s difficult to tell that from a twenty minute interview, plus some have perfected the black art of Taquiyah.

Bring in these bearded flesh-eating barbarians into the country and that is what you get. Trump should consider building a wall with Canada.

The “law” should be challenged as Void for Vagueness.
How does a person know that they are being “islamophobia” and fall within a violation? Is questioning the koran’s command to “kill the unbeliever wherever you find him” islamophobic?
Is watching Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves, which pokes fun at some mid eastern customs islamophobic?
Is the singing the words, “From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli, a location where muslim Pirates and the local Caliph were badly defeated by Marines, islamoohobic?

They were after this man.

"They called the police, claiming that his shoveling snow outside their apartment was harassment. The officers confirmed that Alabi was legally allowed to show their unit when they were there. That’s when they suddenly raised the religion issue, he says, and told him he couldn’t enter during their prayer times. He agreed."

Which makes everyone who hears of it utterly terrified to rent to Muslims.
“You have to obey our dictates even if you’re the landlord.”

Also now an offense to use the wrong pronoun in Canada.

Another reason to avoid visiting Canada,you’ll never know when you’ll offend a mussie; by breathing the same air they do and stuff. Islamic country on our border.
