A Canadian Muslim Woman’s Views on Islam

Today, on the TV show I’m involved with, was a woman from Richmond, BC named Leila El-Khatib. She spoke with host, David Berner about Islam and about the Middle East:

What are your thoughts on what she had to say?

  1. She completely turned me off and I stopped the video when she mentioned that we had to provide their Halal dietary needs. Stick it doll. They are coming here for whatever reason. If they can not eat like we do pack a lunch or better still do not come. I am really sick and tired of people that say we should change to appease new comers. If they don’t like whats here stay away!

  2. I wish I had 30 free mins to watch/listen, but I don’t. I have kids to feed, yardwork to do, dishes to clean, then bedtime. If it can be summed up in 3 minutes with poignancy, lemmie know.
    But thanks anyways Robert!

  3. In the Lord’s Prayer we are told ,”give us this day, our daily bread”. In the soviet union a baptist’s daily bread was 25 years in siberia. Other religions seem to think that we have an obligation to make their path effortless. Nope, not going to happen. A Christian’s daily bread in Saudi Arabia, is usually jail or death. Please go there and fix things, we are doing just fine.

  4. It should have been a discussion of the cultural impact of Islam on the west. There very little of that. I thought her mindset was how Canada needed to adapt to these immigrants.
    It seems that, with the help of the Human Rights Commission, the major contribution of Islam is the destruction of the freedom of speech in Canada.

  5. She’s a moron, why do you ask?
    I don’t have to watch it now, do I? About a year into her living in a true muslim country with her husband, and she wants to come back here and rave about the culture and sensitivity, that’s about when I’ll pay attention.

  6. She is either the dumbest person since Jim Jones wife or she is purposly lying as per usual for Muslims to the kaffur. That shes blond is only camaflouge.
    Frankly she wouldent last a week in a real Islamic Country.

  7. This video is a 1/2 hr propaganda piece for Islam. The term “useful idiot” only begins to describe this.
    “Islam introduced the most progressive feminist laws….”
    🙁

  8. This chick needs to be told that islam is repulsive to the non-muslim, and no amount of sugar-coating, no amount of “ignore your lying eyes” will change that. I think we need to be more vocal about this, that islam is nothing like our Judeo-Christian heritage nor is it anything like any other world religion, that it is incompatible with Canada, the West, and liberal democracy, and that it is based around perhaps the biggest scumbag the world has ever known.

  9. Takkiya practicing ex-Canada Customs agent,.. nice.
    He’s very kind.
    I lasted till 20 something minutes… (Whew, couldn’t take the smell.)
    – her take is exactly the weak relativist, lefty Kensington Market dirty hippie take on Islam all the government union or CBC drones recite.

  10. Ban all Moslem Murder Cult Immigration and Deport as many as possible. If you follow the news, the Murder Cult are butchering, beheading, blowing up and torturing innocent men, women and children 24/7/365 all over the world, year in year out. She is a liar, 98% of all terrorism is Islamic based and funded. The Saudi’s ban all Jews from all their airlines and all airlines that fly into Saudi Arabia. Ban all Moslem Murder Cult followers from all airplanes in the west. No more 9/11.

  11. It’s not the religion at fault,it’s the culture,but the religion controls the culture.She didn’t make that connection. She completely glossed over Hamas by talking about opinion polls,as if that makes a difference.
    This was an infomercial for Islam. This woman wants us to think that Islam is all about peace and love,with very few blemishes.
    Judging by her hair,she got out from under the veil for this show,and likely went back under her shroud of ignorance right after.

  12. This lady says that a “small minority” of Muslims are taking verses out of the Koran and changing it to mean what they want it to mean. Sorry, gal it’s not that “small” a number unfortunately. And any religion that condones violence is evil. My religion teaches me to spread the good news and to show you are Christian by your love. Islam says that you convert to Islam or die.

  13. She turned me off with the school lunch rooms, and it went downhill from there. Fini, turned off.

  14. I missed the part where she trains the Muslims in how to accept and adjust to our culture.

  15. I’m sorry, there is no way we should be providing ANY Muslim immigrants with with special treatment. You want to come to Canada you adjust to our way of life. You need Halal food bloody well bring it to the lunch room. You need to pray, make your choice.  Either hike to the nearest appropriate spot and miss school, or skip it. 
    I think this woman is tragically deluded. It was hard work to watch. A more useful expenditure of time? Spend 28 minutes watching a rerun of Petticoat Junction. 

  16. There are other islamic experts who can take the koran and the hadith and destroy everything she says. Conversations like this only take place in the west. Total whitewash.

  17. I like white women who like the dark side of their racial appetites. Black men routinely call them ‘the bitches”.
    I dunno , I’d give her a collar and the corner of my basement cellar also – if I cruised on that side of humanity, I suppose.?.?.?.?

  18. I can think of better people I’d rather be spending time with than this equivocating bimbo.
    A bunch of animated talking cars, for example.
    When I go to see Cars 2 tomorrow, I’ll be doing just that. Sayonara, Leila.

    You are absolutely right.
    Stop mohammedan shock-troops importation now! (immigration my ass)
    They are the Borg, only more violent and real.
    They do not come to integrate, they come to conquer.
    We should only allow their kuffar victims in. Lefties love victims, but would not recognise a real one if they stumbled over one in the street.
    There will be six million persecuted Copts looking for a life raft very soon. Bring them, welcome them, and others like them.

  20. This doesn’t surprise me. We had a missionary speak in our church, he was in an undisclosed muslim country and his talk could not be recorded for safety reasons. That should tell you a lot right from the start. He went on and on about how wonderful allah and mohamed and ishmael were it was just sickening. I eventually walked out.

  21. I didn’t make it five minutes. She’s a second rate, publicly funded, grievance industry PR stooge. The dinner parties she attends likely involve bureaucrats, Hamas front groups, union leaders or socialist professors and any combination thereof.

  22. The interviewer, Berner, was clearly in over his head. He should have known, when he challenged her by citing Islamic teachings, that later verses in the Quran take precedence over the earlier verses. It is the later verses that call for Islamic dominance in the world and death to unbelievers. Instead Berner let this woman get away with statements about disputes among Islamic scholars over what the Quran actually says. There is no moderate Islam. There is only Islam.
    It is the later verses of the Quran that constitute the marching orders of jihadists as they seeks to impose Islam and Sharia on the entire world. Part of that strategy is to have people such as this woman engage ill-informed interviewers with statements about the peaceful and benign nature of Islam. It is deliberate deception to lull the citizens of Western countries into accepting this deadly threat in our midst.
    Despite what this woman says, Islam is NOT compatible with freedom and democracy. Islam and Sharia are the twin pillars of a totalitarian way of life. In a true democracy, we are free to question how things are done and to come up with better ideas. Islam is a way of life built around the words of Allah as revealed by his “messenger”. To question any of that is blasphemy because you are questioning Allah who is all-knowing and perfect.
    David Berner needs to atone for being the willing dupe of Islamic propagandists. I suggest he interview Ayaan Hirsi Ali, another Muslim woman. Ali lives under death threat and has bodyguards because she dared to renounce the “religion of peace”

  23. Oops, I said: “Islam and Sharia are the twin pillars of a totalitarian way of life”. I should have said the Quran and Sharia are the twin pillars.

  24. OMG! El-Khatib looks like a man in ponytail,PBUH. See right through the sugar-coated “religion of peace” English message.

  25. Watched the whole thing.
    She’s a typical Muslim apologist, long on sophistry, short on substance.
    She is not a useful idiot, a useful idiot is the dude who interviewed her.

  26. My bottom line impression of the ME will always be the hundreds of thousands dancing in the streets after 9/11. The aggressive nature of Islam has many faces which strive for the same goal, international dominance by any means. It can be by violence or simple evolution through community.
    The bottom line is the ME is a hotbed of tribalism dominated by unemplyment or underemployment. Religion is used to gain advantage and privelge. People do unbelieveable things to feed themselves and their families. If international Islam was so beneficient why haven’t those Arab countries with the money rebuild the part of Palestine they control? It is like the international critics of the USA that slam at every opportunity but cannot wait to immigrate there.

  27. Being open-minded, I clicked and bailed after about 20 seconds 2-3 minues in from the opening credits.
    Related: My wife and I have been very long-term supporters of BC’s Knowledge Network. We ended our support after witnessing the alarming increase of “bridge-building” Islamist propaganda being retailed by this otherwise fine institution. And greenism too, of course.

  28. blah blah blah blah “diversity training”……that’s about all I could watch….sorry.

  29. Lol, If 1/3 of Egyptians support the Muslim Brotherhood, then it isn’t a small minority. And if it were a tiny minority, then they should be easily crushed by the majority, which they are not. There is no indication any where on the planet that moderate Muslims are standing up to a small group of thugs and reforming their interpretation of the Koran. Definitely not in Thailand.

  30. A half hour was a little longer than I wanted to spend, but over the day, I watched a bit at a time and I was completely not shocked. She hated the ‘westerners who support corrupt’ regimes. There is quite the gaggle of people that support this view. But, she worked for customs…
    When she mentioned a “prayer space” and dietary requirements, my stomach instantly flipped. Not so much because that “we” would not be treated the same there, but that appeasement won’t make anyone friends. Will this treatment help them? Not likely. However, there will be desires for more down the road… Canada has a culture. Just like anywhere. There should not be concession made to people who WANT to come live here. I thought it especially cute when she talked about training government officials on the correct treating of these people. Paying taxes to have special treatment of others. But what happened to my hammock on the playground?

  31. She’s an “islamic trainer”. I thought that meant that she would train Islamists in our ways. I was wrong again,she trains Canadians to bend over for Islam.
    Get in early folks,this is a growth industry,unless our country finds it’s backbone, which has been buried by years of tolerance and diversity.

  32. Think I’d like to ask this young lady if she is also providing a similar service to christian’s and jews’s living in Saudi Arabia.
