It’s the day after yet another high-profile Islamic terrorist attack, and you know what that means. It’s time to start worrying about the real victims!

CBC News:

The House of Commons has passed M-103, a non-binding motion condemning Islamophobia and religious discrimination.

All NDP and nearly all Liberal MPs supported the motion, which passed 201-91…

The vote follows months of bitter debate and a series of protests and counter-protests across the country over whether the private member’s motion would limit free speech or single out Islam for special treatment in Canadian law.

Can speech really be considered “free” if it hurts a Muslim’s feelings? There oughtta be a law! And in Canada, it’s only a matter of time before there is one.

Any speech that someone else hates is, by definition, hate speech. And hate speech is bad. So when in doubt, stick a Tim Hortons in it and shut the heck up.
