Whitewashing FGM in Canada

The video below shows an excerpt from a hearing in the Canadian parliament. The woman asking the questions is Michelle Rempel, a member of the Conservative party for Alberta. The man answering her questions (or rather, not answering them) is Ahmed Hussen, the National President of the Canadian Somali Congress as well as Canada’s Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship.

You’ll notice Mr. Hussen’s dogged, unshakeable persistence in refusing to answer any question in any meaningful way. Moreover, he never gives the slightest indication that the bureaucracy he is responsible for is even mildly opposed to female genital mutilation.

Many thanks to Vlad Tepes for annotating and uploading this video:

  1. Any form of clitoridectomy represents felony sexual assault and deserves mandatory felony sentencing guidelines that prohibit any plea bargaining or early release.

    Ahmed Hussen’s circumlocution and evasiveness equates to tacit support for FGM (Female Genital Mutilation). Hussen’s personal views are absolutely pertinent and the lack of direction from the Prime Minister’s office on this vital (mental & sexual) health topic is intolerable.

    FGM is a binary issue. Just as there is no “just a little bit pregnant, there is ZERO leeway on the matter of maintaining the intactness of any woman’s sexual anatomy. Full stop. There are no “shades of gray”.

    Ahmed Hussen’s obvious unwillingness to take an unequivocally decisive position about FGM can only be construed as unspoken support for this barbaric practice. For it, he deserves both official censure and immediate ejection from office (with extreme prejudice).

    • Don’t be so sure that there has been a lack of direction from the Prime Minister’s office. Trudeau was aghast when the Conservatives in the last government passed the Zero Tolerance for Barbaric Cultural Practices Act. He criticized it loudly as being “offensive” to some immigrant groups. Since then he has waffled back and forth, caught between upholding his proclaimed support for women’s rights and while at the same time pandering to the Muslims of Canada. With the silence coming from Canada’s feminist movement on the issue of FGM, Trudeau might now think that he can remove reference in the citizenship guide to certain barbaric cultural practices so closely associated with Islam.

      But what’s not barbaric about honour murders, genital mutilation, child marriage, and the sanctioned abuse of women? Why should “culture” be allowed to impose suffering on females? Is it because that “culture” is really a religion—Islam?

      • There is Feminists won’t make any noise about this because they are content to make common cause against the West with the Ummah.

        They are also keenly aware that opposing the Ummah can have severe, violent consequences.

        They have no fear of Western man because he has been neutered by the Leviathan state. His life can be destroyed by mere accusations.

  2. Something tells me Stephen Molyneux, Ezra Levant, Lauren Southern, Faith Goldy and a bushel and a peck of our Canadians neighbors our collectively going to have a eruption of Vesuvius proportions after watching this video.

    My suggestion, after the sane populace of Canada gets a load of this bovine bowel spasm emanating from the rite-honorable fellow in the shirt and tie who so aptly redefined the meaning of circle-jerk. Well, it’s time to mount a collective digital download of epic proportions. Something akin to the “#me too” phenomena going on about sexual indiscreet behavior.

    How bout Ahmed Hussen “#the demon barber of Ottawa”.

  4. TEST:

    If this were an actual post, it would have recognizable content.

    STRONG
    BOLD

    We now return you to your regular commentary.

  5. Perhaps now our American friends and relatives will have a better understanding of what we in Canada are up against! (The attitude displayed by Ahmed Hussen, the Minister being questioned, is not unusual – it is typical of the Liberal Party of Canada.)

    Absolutely bloody disgraceful. I can’t believe Michelle Rempel, the Conservative Member or Parliament from Alberta, was able to keep her cool.

    And fat chance of any in the Canadian ‘mainstream’ media reporting on this flagrant contempt of the people of the country.

  6. This is unbelievably sad. How that frump of a woman could obfuscate about FGM is truly one of the most liberal partisan positions I have seen in a long time.
    I hope she rots in hell.

    • You are, I trust, referring to the Deputy Minister and not Michelle Rempel, the Conservative MP questioning Hussen?

      • Hey, get yourself together here. I am talking about the frumpy witness, not the MP.
        Her obfuscation is so out of line that I would like her to be subject to FGM and then let us know what she thinks about it…

  7. It seems Canada is in the news daily for dhimmi prostrations to Islam, affronts to free speech, excoriations of fake ‘hatespeech’, and Orwellian logic on trans rights, all of it coming from the increasingly cultural Marxist slimepit of the Liberal Party. Nations with relatively small populations don’t have the mass to resist body blows to their values and identity; they can deteriorate quite fast. The Liberals were out of power for 11 years and Justin bowel spasm Trudeau is ramming through as much perverse, un-Canadian legislative change as possible.

    The Liberals seem determined to follow Britain with one dhimmi suckup to Islam after another, and inane divisive social policy. Canada has fallen so far so fast under the bowel spasm PM’s tutelage.

    As The Donald would say, How sad!

  8. And as far as we in the states can say “what the hell are they doing up there?” This will adversely affect us.
    We need a strong trading partner and a strong Canadian society. Both are being diminished by the Trudeau gov’t.
    What to do, vote him and his ilk out in 2019. I’m actually not sure if this will happen.

  9. Since [Pope] Frank is so concerned about Muslims and not offended them I’d guess he supports Female Genital Mutilations.
