The federal government has dropped a new guide that, according to critics, deems it “racist” to criticize Palestinian advocacy or extremism.
The guide also defines both “sharia” and “jihad” as benign terms that are misrepresented by Westerners, with sharia defined as a means “to establish justice and peace in society.”
It’s contained in “The Canadian Guide to Understanding and Combatting Islamophobia,” a document published last week by the Department of Canadian Heritage.
