00:00:07.240 Today, we zero in on a propaganda day called World Hijab Day.
00:00:13.780 It is an Islamist attempt to rebrand the one-woman body bags,
00:00:20.860 the chastity belts for the face called hijabs and dikabs and shador,
00:00:26.340 to rebrand that as some progressive, cool fashion.
00:00:30.400 It's a disgraceful day.
00:00:32.500 I show you first how the CBC is enforcing World Hijab Day
00:00:37.300 by trying to get some guy fired who mildly criticized it.
00:00:42.500 And then we'll talk to a woman who used to wear a hijab,

00:01:50.280 Enjoy this free audio-only version of my TV show.
00:01:54.920 Tonight, two years ago, a pro-refugee social worker wrote a Facebook comment
00:01:59.540 saying Muslim women wearing a face-blocking niqab should integrate.
00:02:04.040 Today, the CBC wants him fired.
00:02:06.560 It's February 1st, and this is The Ezra LeVant Show.
00:02:09.080 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:02:14.940 There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.
00:02:19.020 The only thing I have to say to the government, the wire publisher,
00:02:22.800 is because it's my bloody right to do so.
00:02:29.880 The CBC really isn't a news organization.
00:02:32.620 I mean, sure, they do tell you some news, but that's not their primary function.
00:02:36.360 Their primary function is that of a state broadcaster to run the government's official message track.
00:02:43.120 When they're talking about something like, say, sports or weather, it's pretty straight.
00:02:46.700 But when they're talking about politics, they are reflecting the will of the paymaster who controls them, Justin Trudeau.
00:02:53.480 They're a full-time, around-the-clock campaign ad.
00:02:56.680 Come to think of it, even their sports and weather coverage is pretty politicized,
00:03:00.520 whether it's global warming or the take-a-knee race-baiting in the NFL.
00:03:04.520 Well, the CBC's the worst, but the rest of the Canadian media are catching up,
00:03:08.680 thanks to Trudeau's $595 million bailout.
00:03:12.000 But you've got to check out this story today from the CBC.
00:03:15.840 It is not even a real news story.
00:03:18.080 I mean, it's not fake news, and it's not a fabrication.
00:03:21.300 They're not outright lying.
00:03:23.520 But it's not newsworthy.
00:03:24.800 It's not real journalism.
00:03:25.760 It's a little political campaign, a little cautionary tale.
00:03:30.180 Make an example out of someone that serves the interests of Justin Trudeau and the liberal government in this campaign year.
00:03:36.400 It serves as an infomercial, in this case, for World Hijab Day,
00:03:41.540 the Islamist celebration of the subjugation of women.
00:03:46.540 Let me read the headline to you of the story.
00:03:48.300 And then you can see the little sub-headline there.
00:03:57.480 Full face covering in public is a notch too far, Frank Bauer wrote on Facebook in 2017.
00:04:04.540 Ha!
00:04:05.580 Get a rope!
00:04:08.800 Clearly we've got to hang this guy.
00:04:11.500 So it's just what it looks like.
00:04:12.520 Look at that smiling guy there.
00:04:14.140 What a friendly guy.
00:04:14.860 Frank Bauer?
00:04:15.780 He's a social worker.
00:04:16.580 He loves refugees, by the way.
00:04:19.380 It's what he does all day, every day.
00:04:21.920 His job is to integrate refugees into society.
00:04:24.240 I mean, for heaven's sake, look what his organization is called.
00:04:26.920 It's called CARE, which stands for Central Alberta Refugee Efforts.
00:04:34.380 He's been the boss there since 2013.
00:04:37.360 And for a couple years before that, he had other pro-refugee positions, including volunteer coordinator.
00:04:42.240 So this guy would literally go around Red Deer, Alberta, and tell people they should come and work for free to help integrate refugees into Canada.
00:04:53.200 He himself is an immigrant.
00:04:54.960 I think he's from Holland.
00:04:56.800 You really can't get any friendlier than this guy.
00:04:59.460 I imagine he's helped hundreds of refugees over the years, if he's been there for almost a decade.
00:05:05.980 So what does that mean to help them?
00:05:07.380 Well, getting them jobs, getting them housing, getting them into schools, having them learn English, just showing them how to live and work in Canada, how to dress in the cold, how to use our banking system, stuff like that.
00:05:18.800 But you see, he wrote something on Facebook in 2017.
00:05:22.260 That's the headline here.
00:05:24.080 Now, it was in public.
00:05:25.100 It was in a debate about integration.
00:05:26.920 It was a respectful, polite conversation.
00:05:28.720 But he had an opinion that Justin Trudeau's enforcers don't like.
00:05:32.920 Here's what he said.
00:05:34.560 Before I read this, understand this is part of a friendly, positive, solutions-oriented discussion amongst pro-refugee people.
00:05:41.020 He was weighing in on a real question that many Canadians talk about.
00:05:44.080 Okay, I'll just read it.
00:05:44.760 What a good and, at the same time, difficult topic to bring up for discussion.
00:05:50.280 Indeed, where is the line in the sand on welcoming and accepting people and immigrants making concessions on adapting and, in some ways, conforming to the new country they find themselves in?
00:06:04.480 Let me stop there.
00:06:05.780 That's a good question, isn't it?
00:06:09.820 I mean, the question, it's a real question.
00:06:11.880 From what is the line between how much do we have to conform to them and how much do they have to conform to us?
00:06:17.660 And look at how gently he's weighing in.
00:06:19.940 And he indicates it's a difficult subject.
00:06:22.260 But he's the leader of this pro-refugee group.
00:06:24.440 So he wants to set the tone about how to talk about it, being respectful.
00:06:27.740 But let's talk about it.
00:06:29.100 I'll keep quoting again.
00:06:30.180 This is just a Facebook post from 2017.
00:06:33.020 I am a strong advocate for being welcoming, inclusive, and respecting all cultures and religions.
00:06:40.560 However, find full-face covering in public a notch too far.
00:06:45.380 Yet, so do most people.
00:06:47.720 Not just in Canada, but around the world.
00:06:50.460 Many Muslim countries, by the way, have banned the full-face obscuring burqas and incaps.
00:06:55.080 Egypt just did.
00:06:55.740 So has France, the great liberal republic, and by the way, according to this massive Angus Reid survey,
00:07:02.380 70%, 77% of Canadians want the burqa banned, at least amongst the public service.
00:07:11.020 That's the red line there.
00:07:12.060 This is the burqa.
00:07:12.820 This is what we're talking about.
00:07:14.380 I think that's, I don't even know what that's called.
00:07:16.240 But, you know, seriously.
00:07:18.980 Yeah, look at that.
00:07:20.600 That's the niqab.
00:07:23.120 He's talking about this too.
00:07:24.580 Same Angus Reid poll shows that 75% of Canadians want to ban the cab.
00:07:28.900 So, yeah, yeah.
00:07:30.480 It's a discussion.
00:07:32.120 I mean, actually, it's not even much of a discussion.
00:07:33.700 We all agree.
00:07:34.900 Those aren't good.
00:07:37.160 Now, this guy, remember, he's a pro-refugee advocate who has given a decade of his life
00:07:41.080 to serving refugees, to help them fit in and to be successful in Canada.
00:07:45.280 And he wants to talk about it in a respectful way.
00:07:48.440 But the CBC will not have it.
00:07:50.180 I'll finish reading his post.
00:07:51.340 He says, I would not feel comfortable in conversations, no matter what the topic is,
00:07:56.800 and believe this is an area where newcomers need to respect and adapt themselves to Canadian
00:08:01.140 culture and norms.
00:08:02.940 And that's it.
00:08:03.680 That's it.
00:08:04.100 That's the whole Facebook post from two years ago.
00:08:06.740 Imagine asking refugees who are living off our veils to show us some respect.
00:08:13.160 That's outrageous.
00:08:13.780 What a racist.
00:08:14.360 Well, like I mentioned, today is the Islamist propaganda event called World Hijab Day, where
00:08:21.680 Muslim extremists try to normalize putting women in little one-person body bags, like
00:08:27.380 little chastity belts for the face.
00:08:29.320 And so the CBC has dredged up this two-year-old Facebook post, completely polite, from years
00:08:35.280 ago, and they're going to try and get this guy fired.
00:08:36.960 Like I said, it's a state broadcaster.
00:08:39.920 That's a real state broadcaster move.
00:08:42.580 A government journalist at the CBC, working for Justin Trudeau, tattled about this social
00:08:48.640 worker, to the government bureaucrats at the Citizenship and Immigration Department, working
00:08:53.840 for Justin Trudeau.
00:08:55.480 I'm sorry, that is not journalism.
00:08:56.900 That is activism.
00:08:58.120 It's not even activism.
00:08:59.060 It's just trying to get a guy fired because you don't like him.
00:09:01.020 Let me quote from the story.
00:09:04.360 Immigration, Refugee, and Citizenship Canada said it had not been made aware of any incidents
00:09:10.960 prior to CBC's inquiry, but planned to meet with CARE on the matter.
00:09:15.040 The department is providing $3.7 million to CARE over three years ending in 2020.
00:09:19.640 So not a single real person complained about this.
00:09:24.180 Of course not!
00:09:27.000 So the CBC complained.
00:09:28.580 You just saw it there.
00:09:30.020 The CBC, they're not reporting the news.
00:09:32.820 They've created the news here.
00:09:34.940 They are the ones ginning up a controversy where obviously there was none.
00:09:38.200 No one thought to tattle to Trudeau to cut off the money.
00:09:42.080 No one thought to pressure Trudeau to punish this refugee group and jeopardize its funding,
00:09:46.540 which means obviously they're going to fire this guy to preserve their funding.
00:09:50.240 Because like the CBC reporter, a bizarre woman named Andrea Hunsar, I'll tell you more
00:09:56.240 about her in a moment, everyone here involved works for Justin Trudeau because they get paid
00:10:01.620 for by Justin Trudeau.
00:10:02.680 So they dance to whatever tune is sung by Justin Trudeau.
00:10:06.100 So one Trudeau thug is trying to get another Trudeau thug to fire someone who has dedicated
00:10:10.880 his whole life to actually helping refugees because he had a wrong think on Facebook two
00:10:16.840 years ago because he said maybe Muslim refugee women ought not to cover their faces because
00:10:21.820 they're free now.
00:10:23.900 And look at how the thugs in Trudeau's immigration department responded.
00:10:30.800 IRCC, that's Immigration and Refugee Canada, works with all service provider organizations
00:10:36.720 it funds to ensure the programs and services delivered in a safe and secure environment,
00:10:42.440 wrote spokesperson Nancy Curran.
00:10:44.540 Oh, wow.
00:10:44.920 So the fact that the leading refugee advocate in central Alberta said maybe Muslim women
00:10:50.320 shouldn't dress like they're still in prison, maybe they can dress like they're free now,
00:10:54.880 not like they're still living in Saudi Arabia or Iran.
00:10:58.300 Woo, he is now a, did you get that?
00:11:00.320 He is a safety threat.
00:11:02.960 He is a security threat.
00:11:05.300 Maybe we should send a policeman by his house.
00:11:09.040 Well, it is opposite day today.
00:11:10.980 I mean, you have male feminists like Justin Trudeau celebrating World Hijab Day.
00:11:16.080 You have the government saying that Muslim extremism, as evidenced by wearing a niqab,
00:11:22.260 that's not a safety or security threat.
00:11:24.320 By talking about these women in these little prisons, that's a safety and security threat.
00:11:30.280 This is not a real story, of course.
00:11:31.440 This is not news.
00:11:32.840 It's not journalism.
00:11:33.860 It is a campaign by the CBC state broadcaster.
00:11:36.820 It's a thousand word story.
00:11:39.440 A thousand words.
00:11:40.680 That is an extremely long story these days.
00:11:43.100 I'm not going to read all of them.
00:11:44.260 I'm just going to read some of them.
00:11:45.020 Here's a little bit.
00:11:45.720 I'll go back up to the very top.
00:11:47.000 Go to the very top of the story.
00:11:49.640 The head of an Alberta organization for refugees is under fire after publicly suggesting 15 months
00:11:55.640 ago that Muslim women should not fully cover their faces in public.
00:12:00.340 But hey, even there, that's not really true, is it?
00:12:02.480 He's not under fire from anyone other than the CBC.
00:12:06.280 They're the ones who've lit the fire, didn't they?
00:12:08.980 They're really writing about themselves.
00:12:10.460 They're writing about their own activism and they're pretending it's a thing.
00:12:13.460 So anyways, Bauer obviously got some thought police contacting him months ago.
00:12:18.300 And so he just deleted the post months ago.
00:12:20.980 And he went on with his life of helping Muslims integrate into society.
00:12:24.460 But read this.
00:12:26.500 Bauer's post was deleted.
00:12:28.240 But, ha ha, you can't get off so easy, you racist.
00:12:32.640 CBC News recently received a copy along with a letter of concern sent to the provincial government
00:12:38.340 anonymously by some care staff in August 2018.
00:12:43.120 Oh, really?
00:12:43.820 So the CBC has been sitting on this walkbuster story of this for six months.
00:12:47.960 That's how urgent it is.
00:12:48.860 They've been sitting on it because, like I said, it's their little teachable moment for
00:12:52.120 today's Islamist propaganda day called World Hijab Day.
00:12:55.400 So the CBC quotes an anonymous accuser and we don't know anything about them, what their
00:13:00.140 angle is, are they a disgruntled former employee, did they get overlooked for a promotion?
00:13:05.060 But the CBC, we can trust the CBC to be straight.
00:13:07.120 They say, this post has deeply impacted individuals and the morale of the entire organization, states
00:13:15.360 the letter, which was sent last August to David Egan, the cabinet minister tasked with
00:13:19.800 tackling racism in Alberta.
00:13:21.740 Oh, got it.
00:13:22.960 There it is.
00:13:23.460 It's racism.
00:13:25.020 The CBC just tells you, in case you didn't know, that was racism, guys.
00:13:29.160 I mean, obviously this man who spends his entire life helping refugees integrate, most of whom
00:13:33.760 are visible-minded, he's obviously a racist.
00:13:36.760 And in case you didn't come to that conclusion yourself, they just told you.
00:13:40.380 See what I mean about being a state broadcaster?
00:13:42.240 This is exactly the language that Justin Trudeau and Gerald Butts use to demonize their political
00:13:48.040 enemies.
00:13:48.340 Anyone who's skeptical about radicalism, you're a racist.
00:13:52.400 And so they kept hurling slurs of this anonymous gossip at Bauer.
00:13:58.620 They defame him.
00:13:59.700 They slander him by saying, oh, no, no, no, no, no.
00:14:01.720 No, it's not us saying this.
00:14:02.700 It's some anonymous person that we're just going to let them vomit all over this guy uncritically.
00:14:08.960 Let me quote some more.
00:14:10.100 How do you rectify giving funding to an organization that has clearly racist, Islamophobic, and
00:14:17.320 misogynistic views that were expressed in a public forum?
00:14:21.260 The letter asked.
00:14:22.120 No, the letter didn't ask it.
00:14:23.400 Someone wrote it in a letter.
00:14:24.740 And we're not told who because we don't need to know that.
00:14:27.440 CBC will tell us it's fine.
00:14:29.040 I mentioned opposite day because the morality of the CBC and Justin Trudeau and the hijab
00:14:34.360 lovers is inverted.
00:14:35.600 If I were a religious person, I'd call it satanic because their morality is backwards.
00:14:41.040 It's upside down.
00:14:41.660 Imagine calling a man who wants women who come to Canada to be free to show their face in
00:14:47.920 public.
00:14:48.420 Imagine calling such a man misogynistic and saying that, no, no, no.
00:14:54.080 The extremist imams who want them kept in their shroud, that's feminism.
00:14:58.760 The CBC is a disgusting disgrace.
00:15:03.600 But hey, good news, guys.
00:15:06.080 Bauer has been reeducated.
00:15:07.640 Let me quote.
00:15:09.140 In an interview and email exchange with CBC, Bauer said he thought the topic of adaptation
00:15:14.880 was worth an open discussion on the Facebook page at the time, but now admits he made an
00:15:20.600 error.
00:15:20.900 So here's your lesson, you tiny citizens, you nobodies out there.
00:15:26.360 Here's a lesson for you.
00:15:27.920 It is an error to have an open discussion about such things because you will get fired and
00:15:33.800 the state broadcaster will come for you and your job and your reputation.
00:15:38.240 So don't be like Frank Bauer.
00:15:40.180 Don't have a thoughtful conversation, even if it's motivated by, say, wanting Muslim women
00:15:45.040 in Canada to, oh, I don't know, make friends, fit in, get a job.
00:15:49.320 Try doing that if you're wearing a burqa.
00:15:51.280 So they made Bauer give the full Maoist style self-denunciation.
00:15:58.280 Maybe he thought it would save him.
00:16:00.700 What I did not adequately realize at the time was the occurrence of highly sensitive and
00:16:06.140 often traumatizing experiences of women wearing face covering veils, such as burqa or niqab
00:16:11.200 in Canada and other parts of the world where this is not default in the religious culture,
00:16:16.920 Bauer said, blah, blah, blah.
00:16:18.440 Yeah, Frank, look, you can say anything, you can make any apology, but that's not how it
00:16:23.720 works.
00:16:24.340 You know, when Mao had his struggle sessions back in China during the Cultural Revolution
00:16:29.940 and the self-denunciation, these are pictures from China, obviously, when these people threw
00:16:37.680 themselves on the public and confessed their sins, it didn't spare them.
00:16:42.660 It didn't save them.
00:16:45.220 It simply was used as proof that they were, in fact, evil, as in, obviously, they were
00:16:49.820 guilty of thought crimes.
00:16:50.840 They just confessed.
00:16:51.520 Didn't you see it?
00:16:53.080 But more than that, the whole point was a shocking warning to others not to even think
00:16:56.920 about thinking.
00:16:57.500 Don't you even think about thinking.
00:16:59.420 You know, I saw one photo of the Cultural Revolution where they literally stuffed a
00:17:03.360 glove in the mouth of one man during a show trial to stop him from objecting because he
00:17:08.080 wouldn't get up the program.
00:17:09.180 The CBC would do that to Frank Bauer if they had to.
00:17:12.680 Now, when the CBC tries to get someone fired, they call everyone.
00:17:17.140 I've seen this happen several times.
00:17:19.460 And they call up people, pundits, newsmakers, politicians, bureaucrats, and they basically
00:17:24.660 give them a choice.
00:17:25.480 It's not journalism.
00:17:26.120 It's a pressure tactic.
00:17:28.820 They ask a question.
00:17:30.540 Will you denounce Frank Bauer?
00:17:33.100 And either you join this mob that is denouncing Bauer or you don't.
00:17:40.800 You defend him.
00:17:41.920 And then the mob will come for you, too.
00:17:44.100 Think quickly, because I'm writing this story now.
00:17:47.100 Will you join the mob and get Bauer?
00:17:49.060 Or will you stand with Bauer and the mob will come for you, too?
00:17:52.020 So this Trudeau journalist called pretty much everyone involved in refugee resettlement in
00:17:56.400 Alberta because of a Facebook comment two years ago.
00:18:00.020 It's not journalism.
00:18:01.780 And this kook, this crackpot, demanded with the authority of the state broadcaster that
00:18:08.080 they all go on the record denouncing Bauer.
00:18:10.320 She ginned up the defamation.
00:18:12.780 And many of these people did because they're cowards.
00:18:15.700 But for some reason, some of these people, the CBC called, they didn't want Frank Bauer fired.
00:18:23.220 Let me quote one.
00:18:23.860 Sirosh Rizvi, executive assistant of Alberta Association of Immigrant Serving Agencies,
00:18:31.600 expressed confidence in Bauer despite disagreeing with the sentiment of his post.
00:18:37.040 Huh.
00:18:37.660 It's almost as if someone in charge of integrating refugees into Alberta might value someone who
00:18:44.020 has spent his life integrating refugees into Alberta as opposed to joining the CBC mob
00:18:49.020 led by a bizarre Islamophile reporter trying to suck up the Trudeau.
00:18:53.480 Oh, don't get me wrong.
00:18:54.800 Rizvi still did denounce what Frank Bauer said.
00:18:57.440 He still denounced them.
00:18:59.280 He just didn't want them fired.
00:19:00.620 I mean, look, someone has to actually do the work of getting these people jobs.
00:19:04.340 Ninety percent of Trudeau's Syrians are still unemployed.
00:19:06.880 Most still don't speak English.
00:19:08.440 Many of them are turning to crime.
00:19:09.580 And I'm not even talking about murder and terrorism, as we've seen lately in the news.
00:19:13.280 Now, this reporter, Andrea Hancar, I don't care how she says it.
00:19:17.260 She's a bit of a weirdo.
00:19:19.560 Here's her Twitter biography.
00:19:20.860 Three, human rights, immigrant, indigenous issues, justice system, extremism.
00:19:27.000 Previously, Juba, Toronto, Regina.
00:19:29.720 She's not a real reporter.
00:19:31.380 She's an activist.
00:19:32.660 And as you can see, she reports everything through her radical lens, Marxist lens of grievance
00:19:38.060 mongering.
00:19:39.860 There's just no news out there.
00:19:41.520 It's all, oh, you offended this person.
00:19:43.660 You offended that person.
00:19:44.520 Now, I've skimmed through her work and that extremism part of her biography.
00:19:48.600 Now, she doesn't mean Muslim extremism.
00:19:50.960 She doesn't mean Muslim terrorists.
00:19:52.420 As you can see, she's in favor of Muslim extremism, including the extremist approach of putting
00:19:57.080 women in body bags.
00:19:58.780 When she says she covers extremism, she doesn't mean Muslim extremism.
00:20:03.520 She means you.
00:20:04.980 That's what she calls people who don't like Muslim terrorists.
00:20:11.340 There really is a Muslim extremist in Alberta.
00:20:14.600 He's a convicted terrorist and war criminal named Omar Khadr.
00:20:18.860 And look at Andrea Hunsar here.
00:20:21.600 Her tweets about Khadr again and again.
00:20:24.660 And look at those pictures.
00:20:26.440 I'm sorry.
00:20:27.140 Her tweets about Omar Khadr.
00:20:28.760 They have an erotic feeling to them.
00:20:33.780 I think this freak show has an erotic crush on him.
00:20:40.520 Like some other lonely old maids have crushes on serial killers.
00:20:46.200 And, you know, they write to serial killers in prison and sometimes even get mad.
00:20:49.720 I think this CBC reporter is obsessed in a weird way with violent, misogynistic Muslim men.
00:20:59.620 She loves when women are forced to wear burqas by Muslim men.
00:21:05.040 Or at least she hates when some beta male like Frank Bauer suggests women be free.
00:21:10.020 I mentioned her biography.
00:21:11.920 It mentioned the city of Juba.
00:21:13.900 That's the capital city of South Sudan.
00:21:15.880 A miserable, failed state in Africa.
00:21:19.300 I'm not sure how to put this other than just to say what I think I see from her work.
00:21:26.720 I think she hates white people.
00:21:30.600 But she has the essential white liberal soft bigotry of low expectations.
00:21:35.140 So she's fine with misogyny if it's committed by Muslim men against Muslim women.
00:21:40.580 She detests her own culture.
00:21:42.560 But she is fascinated by alien cultures like Juba.
00:21:46.460 I mean, look at this.
00:21:47.200 This is just weird.
00:21:49.420 What's behind the growing popularity of halal meat in Edmonton?
00:21:52.540 Listen, 820, it's on CBC.
00:21:55.980 Yeah, okay, I'm going to guess Muslims.
00:21:57.920 Is that what's behind it?
00:21:59.420 You...
00:22:00.020 What an idiot.
00:22:01.340 What a weirdo.
00:22:02.820 What a weirdo.
00:22:03.640 Which is why she can so reliably be called upon by Justin Trudeau to do hit pieces on normal Canadians who don't like burqas and don't like mass, unvetted Muslim migration from terrorist-soaked countries like Syria.
00:22:21.360 I've never seen her support moderate Muslims, by the way.
00:22:24.020 She just loves the cotters of the world.
00:22:25.580 Look at this insane fake news story from just last week.
00:22:29.780 Same reporter.
00:22:30.380 Yellow vest protests in Red Deer creating stress for new arrivals to Canada.
00:22:36.480 She doesn't actually call an interview, interview someone who has this stress.
00:22:41.440 She interviews other liberals who say that there might be some stress called cause.
00:22:45.540 Either way, that's not news, sister.
00:22:48.440 That is your personal diary entry next to you drawing little hearts and your initials, A-H plus OK, Omar Khadr.
00:22:59.700 And just sort of doodling little hearts around that.
00:23:03.240 You put this in your personal diary and you keep it in your hope chest under your bed.
00:23:09.660 That's not journalism.
00:23:11.740 That's a Trudeau fever dream or something.
00:23:15.540 You're a CBC kook.
00:23:16.920 I mean, look, folks, do you need more proof that the CBC hates you?
00:23:25.560 I mean, of course they hate conservatives.
00:23:27.900 Of course they hate anyone from Alberta, especially Red Deer.
00:23:32.960 And weirdly, they hate an immigrant named Frank Bauer who has spent a decade helping Muslim women.
00:23:38.140 They hate him, probably because he's white, but I think they hate him really because he thinks women should be free from the burqa.
00:23:45.160 That used to be the liberal position, but not anymore.
00:23:48.120 And the CBC want you to know they hate you.
00:23:52.040 And that's the important part.
00:23:54.980 This story really isn't about getting Frank Bauer fired.
00:23:57.600 He's going to be fired.
00:23:58.200 This is about making you fear them.
00:24:04.200 You, not Frank Bauer.
00:24:05.320 He's gone.
00:24:06.460 Because if they can get Frank Bauer fired, and they will by forcing his board to choose between him or $3 million from Trudeau,
00:24:13.860 if they can fire Frank Bauer for a two-year-old Facebook post that was as mild and thoughtful as that one was,
00:24:22.400 Well, if they can get him fired, they can get you fired, too.
00:24:28.580 So shut up and vote liberal, you bigot.
00:24:33.820 Stay with us for more on this World Hijab Day.
00:24:51.040 Welcome back.
00:24:51.920 Well, if you are anywhere near the corporate media, the social media, you can't miss it.
00:24:57.920 Today is World Hijab Day, where the Muslim head covering, sometimes it also is a face covering in the form of a niqab or a burqa,
00:25:10.600 is celebrated and promoted, including from secular liberal leftists who should know better.
00:25:17.320 Well, in an opposition to World Hijab Day is No Hijab Day, and in particular, many liberal Muslims or ex-Muslims protest against that face obscuring veil or hair obscuring veil that they once were forced to wear.
00:25:33.660 Joining us now live via Skype is one such No Hijab Day activist, our friend Yasmeen Mohamed, author of Confessions of an Ex-Muslim.
00:25:43.040 Great to see you again, Yasmeen. Welcome back to the show.
00:25:46.040 Thank you so much for having me, Ezra.
00:25:47.480 Now, World Hijab Day typically refers to the hair covering, which obscures all the hair on the head.
00:25:54.860 Does it also include the face obscuring niqab or chador or burqa or some of those other phrases?
00:26:02.460 Yeah, we generally refer to all of that as hijab because you can't wear the face covering without also the hair covering.
00:26:11.460 So when we're talking about No Hijab Day, we're talking about no any prescribed modesty clothing that are forced upon women against their will.
00:26:22.120 You know, it's amazing to me to watch women, particularly in Iran, where they seem to be really chafing against these restrictions put on them by the regime.
00:26:31.780 You see women standing in public, holding their hijab on a stick.
00:26:35.940 I see social media clips all the time of women being confronted by the mutawin, the religious police, and pushing back.
00:26:42.620 Maybe I'm saying mutawin wrong.
00:26:44.420 So I see this great struggle for democracy and women's rights in Iran, and that's a tyranny.
00:26:50.740 But in the West, people who you ought to know better are championing what's really a chastity belt for the face.
00:27:00.840 Absolutely.
00:27:01.780 That's exactly it.
00:27:03.200 You hit the nail on the head.
00:27:04.920 So meanwhile, while women in Saudi Arabia and Iran and Iraq and Kuwait and Egypt, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, are fighting for their right to be able to wear what they want without their government, societies, or families forcing any clothing upon them.
00:27:19.260 Meanwhile, over here in the West, we have free women putting hijabs on their heads in World Hijab Day.
00:27:25.880 So non-Muslim women are being encouraged to wear this.
00:27:28.780 They set up booths across different universities and college campuses, as well as different government buildings.
00:27:36.460 And they bring hijabs with them, and they encourage non-Muslim women to wear the hijab for a day.
00:27:41.720 So instead of encouraging more people to wear this, what No Hijab Day is talking about is allowing women to take it off if they want to take it off and letting them make that choice.
00:27:55.460 I hear some arguments, and it's clever, from pro-hijab activists who say, well, why are you telling women what they can't wear?
00:28:06.960 You're just as bad as the ayatollahs if you're saying no hijabs, you're bossing women around, too.
00:28:14.200 Can you speak to the thesis put by such people that covering up, especially, I mean, I was just reading the other day about a woman in Australia, and they're having a real heat wave there right now.
00:28:27.900 I mean, it's like 40 degrees Celsius on what it's like to be outside in Australia in 40-degree heat in a black body bag.
00:28:35.640 And, you know, the idea that this would be a voluntary choice, I find hard to believe, but this is the argument of some.
00:28:45.320 What do you make of that?
00:28:46.760 Yeah, and that's Australia, so imagine how hot it is in the Middle East.
00:28:50.180 I lived in Khatad, where it can go upwards of 50 degrees in the summer there.
00:28:54.980 So, yeah, searing hot heat, I'm sure these women are not, by choice, wanting to cover themselves head-to-toe in black.
00:29:01.820 In fact, I used to teach at a college there where it was quite regular for students to faint, especially in Ramadan.
00:29:08.300 And, of course, they would.
00:29:09.200 They're not getting enough oxygen.
00:29:10.940 I mean, the humidity there, and then they're covering their faces in black fabric as well.
00:29:15.680 So it's dehumanizing, it's oppressing, and it can actually be dangerous for their health as well.
00:29:22.960 And to speak to your earlier point about asking women to take off the hijab, I would never do that.
00:29:31.540 Because I myself, when I chose to take off the hijab, I was threatened with death by my family.
00:29:36.860 And as you know, Aqsa Parvez, a 16-year-old girl in Mississauga, Ontario, was killed by her family, strangled by her father, because she refused to wear the hijab.
00:29:46.000 So I would never ask women to take off their hijabs, because I know how dangerous that decision would be.
00:29:53.580 So that just speaks to how we cannot have opposing protests.
00:29:58.220 Their protest is saying, put on a hijab.
00:30:00.800 I can't say, take off a hijab, because I know that there are women that could potentially be killed for that.
00:30:06.560 So what I'm saying instead is, I support those women.
00:30:10.240 I support the women that would be in danger of being abused, tortured, imprisoned, or killed for taking off the hijab.
00:30:18.560 And these women, of course, are Muslim women.
00:30:20.640 They're not non-Muslim women.
00:30:21.920 These are Muslim women that are fighting their own societies, that are fighting the patriarchy within their own families, within their own communities, and that want to have the freedom to live.
00:30:32.220 Of course they want to have the freedom to live life freely.
00:30:35.360 All of us do.
00:30:36.200 Why would they be any different?
00:30:37.360 You know, I recall reading a statistic that in at least certain parts of Paris, almost 80% of women who wore these coverings,
00:30:49.640 and I know there have since been legislation in France to ban them, I think the number was 77%, I'd have to Google it,
00:30:57.360 felt a form of compulsion to do so.
00:31:01.080 Either the threat of violence, or at the very least the threat of being expelled from their mosque, the community, even from their husband's home.
00:31:10.820 So the idea that they're making a voluntary choice while under duress, we in the West have the concept that you can't agree to something if you don't have free will.
00:31:20.420 If you're forced to sign a contract with a gun to your head, that's not genuinely your will.
00:31:25.220 It's called compulsion or duress.
00:31:28.480 And the argument I heard was, if you were to ban the burqa, what you actually do is you empower those 77% of women to say to the bullies in their life,
00:31:38.680 who are invariably men, to say, look, you know, I'd like to do that, but I can't, because the police say I can't.
00:31:45.220 Oh, it's too bad.
00:31:46.340 I can't be bullied by you.
00:31:48.160 Sorry.
00:31:48.400 So it's actually providing a stronger way out for women who, on their own, would be vulnerable to this pressure.
00:31:55.900 Yeah, I would have loved, actually, to have been able to say that to my family and to my ex-husband.
00:32:01.560 Like, oh, sorry, can't wear it.
00:32:02.640 It's against the law.
00:32:03.360 Nothing we can do about it.
00:32:04.400 It's not my choice.
00:32:05.720 But at the end of the day, when you talk about the violence that these women could be subjected to,
00:32:10.900 yes, there is violence that could happen to them here by their husbands, by their fathers, etc.
00:32:15.760 But then there's also the threat of burning in hell for eternity.
00:32:20.540 So even if you remove the threats here on Earth, these women who are indoctrinated are still going to be feeling like they could potentially burn in hell for the rest of eternity.
00:32:31.620 Now, to talk about the indoctrination a little bit, you have to realize that this is put on children.
00:32:37.300 It's put on you as a young girl.
00:32:39.440 And then when you grow up as an adult and you decide to take it off, you don't get that choice.
00:32:45.960 So there's really, when we talk about choice, that means you have the choice to put it on and you have the choice to take it off.
00:32:51.740 And as we know from just, I mean, a quick Google search will show you how many women are imprisoned, killed, tortured, abused, stoned.
00:33:02.700 All sorts of horrible things happen to women who take it off.
00:33:05.540 In fact, in the United Kingdom, there's a Muslim woman by the name of Dina Tokio and she is a model and she's a hijabi model and she's decided to take off the hijab.
00:33:17.020 And the amount of filth and violence and threats that have been thrown in her direction, she has a video on YouTube where she does nothing but just read the hate.
00:33:25.640 And that video is almost an hour long.
00:33:28.460 Oh, my God.
00:33:29.820 That's terrifying.
00:33:30.860 And of course, I'm, you know, I'm sure we will not see support for those women as we do in many other cases.
00:33:38.480 You know, there's a concept in the left and I don't usually use it, but it's an effective argument that the left uses.
00:33:47.580 They call it false consciousness.
00:33:49.360 And what they, the first time I heard that phrase was, hey, workers of the world, when you're happy in this capitalist system, that's false consciousness.
00:33:58.940 You're just being taught to be happy with material goods and your place in the economy.
00:34:02.940 You should think of yourself as Marxist proletariat.
00:34:06.960 Don't be lulled into this happy dream by false consciousness that you're part of the capitalist economy.
00:34:12.680 That's the first time I heard the phrase false consciousness.
00:34:15.920 It's people saying you're not really happy.
00:34:18.640 Don't pretend you're someone you're not.
00:34:20.380 And I would use that Marxist idea that I believe that some women who say, I love the hijab, I'm freed by the hijab.
00:34:30.300 I, it's the best thing I do is wear the hijab.
00:34:33.540 Maybe some mean it, but I think many of them, it's a false consciousness where they, where they, they say that to feel safe.
00:34:42.260 They say that because like you say, they've been brainwashed since they were girls.
00:34:45.580 They say that because to say otherwise would mean alienating their entire family and perhaps being left destitute and alone.
00:34:53.200 So I think that, I mean, I don't want to look a grown woman in the eye and say, you don't mean what you're saying.
00:34:59.520 But if you're under duress and if your whole life will crumble, if you take off a cage from your face, yeah, that's false consciousness.
00:35:06.700 You're not happy, sister.
00:35:07.940 You're not happy in 40 degree heat wearing a black box.
00:35:11.620 Yeah.
00:35:12.120 You just start to convince yourself because that you, because you don't see another option.
00:35:16.280 I actually wanted to tell you a little story to, to support your hypothesis there last year during world hijab day at a university, there was a booth set up where a girl was trying to get a non-Muslim woman to wear the hijab and the non-Muslim woman refused.
00:35:32.920 She said, no, I don't want to wear that.
00:35:34.320 That's a tool of misogyny.
00:35:35.640 And there are women that are being imprisoned and killed for wearing that.
00:35:38.980 Why would I actively put that on my head?
00:35:42.300 And so the girl, the Muslim girl that was trying to force it on the non-Muslim girl cried Islamophobia and, in fact, tried to get that girl expelled.
00:35:51.900 They had a petition going online and they had this big Twitter, you know, pile on where they were trying to get that young student expelled.
00:36:01.760 I know exactly what you mean.
00:36:03.300 Janiyah, I think, is her name.
00:36:04.920 And I think she's in the United Kingdom.
00:36:07.060 I know exactly what you mean.
00:36:09.860 We'll have to dig up that.
00:36:11.540 Yeah.
00:36:12.200 So what I wanted to mention was that that Muslim girl, the one who, who tried to bully the other student today, she doesn't wear a hijab.
00:36:23.380 Wow.
00:36:24.800 That's incredible.
00:36:26.080 That's incredible.
00:36:27.840 Well, you know what?
00:36:29.340 God bless the West.
00:36:30.560 Hey, Yasmeen, it's such a pleasure to talk with you about this.
00:36:33.100 You're so thoughtful.
00:36:33.880 Of course, you've lived this experience.
00:36:35.240 I really enjoy having you on the show and I know we have you on every few months.
00:36:39.040 I like following you on Twitter because you're really, it looks like you're really spreading your ideas and you're making strong allies.
00:36:46.820 Can you give our viewers who are fans, I'm a super fan.
00:36:49.640 What can I say?
00:36:50.320 You know.
00:36:51.000 We love what you're doing.
00:36:53.180 We were excited about the books you've written.
00:36:55.360 I know you met with Ayaan Hirsi Ali.
00:36:56.860 I think I saw you with Claire Lehman of Quillette.
00:36:59.580 She's a, she's a rebel alumna.
00:37:01.360 I don't know if you know that Claire used to do videos with us.
00:37:04.720 I'm just a fan.
00:37:05.780 Give our viewers who are also fans an update on some of your successes in the last few months.
00:37:11.140 Well, you know, Rahaf Mohammed Al-Khanoun, who just came into Toronto, took up a lot of this past month of mine because everybody's been really excited about her coming into Canada.
00:37:21.720 And she's the young girl who escaped from Saudi Arabia, who was barred in the, in the hotel in Thailand.
00:37:29.360 And also now Asya Bibi is coming to Canada.
00:37:32.400 We're very excited about that.
00:37:33.540 Right, right, right.
00:37:34.120 From Pakistan.
00:37:34.900 She was the Christian woman who was sentenced to death, actually, for blasphemy.
00:37:39.720 That's right.
00:37:40.300 That is good news.
00:37:41.500 You know, that is good news.
00:37:42.680 So let's mark good news.
00:37:44.000 Sorry, I interrupted you.
00:37:44.820 Keep going.
00:37:45.660 No, no, no.
00:37:46.220 You're absolutely correct.
00:37:46.940 The blasphemy that she did, by the way, was to drink from the same well as Muslims.
00:37:53.860 So when she drank from the same well as Muslims, they said that you have tainted the water because you're Christian.
00:37:59.180 Oh, my God.
00:37:59.560 That's unbelievable.
00:38:00.600 Yeah.
00:38:01.160 And so she got sentenced to death for that.
00:38:02.860 But, yeah, I work a lot with my organization.
00:38:08.040 Sorry.
00:38:09.160 My organization, Free Hearts, Free Minds.
00:38:11.280 And that is a program that helps people that have left Islam but are still stuck in Muslim-majority countries,
00:38:19.540 especially one of the countries where they could be executed for leaving the religion.
00:38:23.880 So people like Rahaf.
00:38:25.940 And so I've been having a lot of success with that program.
00:38:29.400 And I encourage your viewers to go to Free Hearts, Free Minds and to read some of the testimonials of people that we've helped.
00:38:36.180 And if they are able and willing to click on the donate button and support us.
00:38:39.860 Sure. What's the website for that?
00:38:42.100 It's www.freeheartsfreeminds.com.
00:38:45.940 All right.
00:38:46.440 Well, we'll put that up on the screen and encourage our people to visit.
00:38:49.320 You've been very generous with your time.
00:38:51.020 Let me ask you one last question.
00:38:52.840 And I'm worried because I think I know the answer.
00:38:58.280 We've talked about some of the people you've met with.
00:39:00.220 Have you had any success in what's typically called the mainstream media?
00:39:06.420 CTV, CBC, Global Mail, Toronto Star, the big papers.
00:39:10.380 I mean, we're a little bit edgy here at The Rebel.
00:39:12.700 I'm sure you get some flack for even talking to us.
00:39:16.300 And Quillette, they're also dissidents a little bit.
00:39:19.220 And I and Hershey Ali, a bit of a dissident.
00:39:21.260 Have any mainstream media given you a form?
00:39:25.760 I hope your answer is yes, but I fear it's no.
00:39:29.060 Actually, my answer is yes.
00:39:30.340 I've had some mainstream media exposure in Australia, oddly enough, ABC in Australia.
00:39:36.400 And CTV just contacted me recently, so I might be going on there.
00:39:40.420 I did go on CBC, BBC, New York Times, et cetera, et cetera.
00:39:46.820 Lots of, I guess, what would be considered left-leaning media to talk about Rahaf Mohammed.
00:39:52.020 So she has been able to open that door and allow this conversation to start happening,
00:39:58.920 talking about just the massive level of oppression of women in the Middle East and North Africa.
00:40:05.300 So I'm happy to say that that conversation, it looks like it's starting now.
00:40:11.000 People are starting to have that conversation.
00:40:12.800 Well, that's a more hopeful answer than I was expecting.
00:40:15.300 I'm really glad to hear it.
00:40:16.660 Well, Yasmin, what a pleasure.
00:40:17.680 Thank you for joining us today on No Hijab Day.
00:40:21.660 The others can celebrate World Hijab Day, but we, and especially you who were forced to wear it, know the truth.
00:40:28.240 Take care, my friend, and stay safe.
00:40:30.260 Thank you so much, Ezra.
00:40:31.360 My pleasure.
00:40:31.940 All right.
00:40:32.280 There you have it.
00:40:32.720 Yasmin Mohammed on No Hijab Day, the answer to World Hijab Day.
00:40:39.420 Stay with us.
00:40:39.960 More ahead on The Rebel.
00:40:40.600 Hey, welcome back on my monologue yesterday about Trudeau's plan to monitor political editorials in the next election.
00:40:57.860 Of course, he's not going to read it.
00:40:59.400 He'll have someone do that.
00:41:00.220 He doesn't do a lot of reading.
00:41:01.200 There's more comic books, I think.
00:41:03.040 Norbert writes,
00:41:04.000 Orwell's 1984 is becoming more and more a reality.
00:41:07.520 This sets a very dangerous precedent in Canada.
00:41:12.540 I think so.
00:41:13.400 I think you're right.
00:41:14.340 I think so much of Orwell is coming true through big tech, Google, YouTube, Facebook, Amazon.
00:41:20.980 But Justin Trudeau's impatient for them, so he's setting up his own enforcers.
00:41:24.860 Yeah, I haven't seen Andrew Scheer on that part.
00:41:43.500 In fact, in the stories I read yesterday in reaction to this announcement,
00:41:50.520 the conservatives said this doesn't go far enough.
00:41:52.800 Now, they weren't speaking in particular about the editorial censorship.
00:41:56.640 They were talking about stopping foreign meddling.
00:42:00.780 I did not hear them.
00:42:03.220 Now, maybe I missed it.
00:42:04.160 And if I missed it, please correct me and let me know.
00:42:06.400 But I certainly didn't hear a fuss against this censorship from the conservatives federally.
00:42:11.840 They've said they're against the media bailout, or at least Michelle Bremple has said that.
00:42:16.080 I'll believe it when I see it.
00:42:17.340 And I think that like Jason Kenney, who has not said a word about the prosecution of the rebel
00:42:23.560 by Rachel Notley's hand-picked election commissioner, Jason Kenney and none of his MLAs have said a word.
00:42:31.240 It was pointed out to me by someone else who's being prosecuted by the government.
00:42:35.220 Jason Kenney absolutely intends to keep this law because he expects to be premier in a couple months and he will use it himself.
00:42:45.960 And if you doubt me, then point to me a peep of opposition to it by him.
00:42:51.640 And that's why it's so important to have independent media.
00:42:53.680 I generally support the United Conservative Party.
00:42:56.140 I generally support the Conservative Party of Canada.
00:42:59.140 But we're not owned by them and we're not controlled by them.
00:43:01.500 We take no funds from them.
00:43:03.480 We're not party members.
00:43:05.280 And so when they do things or don't do things that are wrong, we'll be one of the few people saying so.
00:43:12.700 I would not want to replace a $595 million bailout fund run by Justin Trudeau with a $595 million bailout fund run by Andrew Scheer.
00:43:25.880 I would not want to replace one with the next.
00:43:29.020 Folks, that is our show for today.
00:43:31.740 We've had an exciting week here at The Rebel.
00:43:33.780 We've had some new talent come aboard yesterday.
00:43:36.080 I told you, oh, sorry, one more letter snuck in.
00:43:39.520 I was about to end the show.
00:43:40.680 So Dylan writes on my interview with the newest rebel, Janice Atkinson,
00:43:45.440 I'm looking forward to Janice's take of the current issues facing us in Europe.
00:43:49.760 Sorry, I'm glad you sent that letter in, Dylan.
00:43:52.800 I was going to go, I was starting to riffle a new talent.
00:43:55.580 Yeah, Janice is great.
00:43:57.020 She's a fighter.
00:43:59.100 As you know, she was elected as a Brexit MP for UKIP in 2014, I think.
00:44:03.800 And in two months, the UK is out of the European Union.
00:44:07.460 So Janice will no longer be a member of the European Parliament.
00:44:10.500 But she's starting work for us right away.
00:44:11.860 I'm very excited about that.
00:44:13.300 We also hired a youngster named Adam, who goes by the nickname Pathetic Millennial.
00:44:18.920 It's pretty funny.
00:44:19.860 I think it's pretty funny.
00:44:21.140 Today, our first video from another youngster here in Ontario named Jessica.
00:44:25.460 And I'm excited about the topic she's taking on.
00:44:29.100 She's taking on WE Day, which is a youth propaganda event all the time across Canada.
00:44:34.760 I'm glad she's taking that on.
00:44:35.780 And on Monday, we will have some news for you about a fourth new rebel.
00:44:41.740 So sometimes people say, hey, what's going on on the talent front?
00:44:45.440 Well, we got a whole bunch of it coming your way.
00:44:47.460 So have a great weekend, everybody.
00:44:50.180 I'll see you on Monday.
00:44:51.380 Until then, on behalf of all of us here at Rebel World Headquarters, good night and keep
00:44:55.580 fighting for freedom.
00:44:56.300 We'll be right back.
