Elaine Ellinger is an author, writer, and researcher on Islamic studies and she spent many years speaking from the perspective of the non-Muslim about the growing influence of Sharia in non-Islamic countries. She is a former Canadian director and senior researcher for a European think tank focused on Islamic doctrine, and founded Perspectives on Islam Society in order to educate people on the primary teachings of Islam in the context of current events. Elaine has been a guest on The Power Hour before, and she is back again to give a presentation on how Zakat and Halal products are connected to funding Islamic extremism and introducing Sharia law into our country.
00:17:41.220It's in the schools, social and political organizations, media, and publishing.
00:17:45.500And we'll touch on all of these as we go through this.
00:17:47.760Now, this is a letter that was given to the National Canadian Council of Muslims by the Canadian Council of Imams, authorizing them to collect zakat under the category of fi sabalullah.
00:18:08.960And that is the jihad category, and this is for their activism.
00:18:12.820And it says they're very successful in presenting the Muslim point of view in media, writing to the editor, or by paid articles and legal services.
00:18:21.440And this is the growth of Islamic organizations in Canada.
00:18:25.240And you can see them getting larger and larger.
00:18:30.860And they're in, of course, the main populated areas of the country.
00:18:35.500So one of the ways that zakat is used is to acquire property.
00:18:43.540But the property is dedicated to Allah.
00:18:45.820And that is basically a change in sovereignty.
00:18:48.860Because once it is dedicated to Allah, it is considered a walk forever, signifying that it's perpetual, inalienable, and irrevocable in nature.
00:19:01.600They're claiming that Israel is actually a walk, that it was dedicated to Allah, and that it has to return to Islam because it was under Islamic domain at one time.
00:19:12.100But this can also be done with a mall, not just a church or a cemetery.
00:19:16.760It can also, well, a mosque or a cemetery.
00:19:19.420This can also be done with a mall if the proceeds are dedicated to Allah.
00:21:53.720This is necessary because of our religion.
00:21:56.800And they will lobby the government and the government will approve it.
00:21:59.720And now, because it's available, Muslims within the Islamic community who may very well have preferred to have, you know, their own peanut butter or their own whatever, now they will be pressured to take the Islamic alternative because we have made it available.
00:22:20.420And now they do have to have it because we've made it available.
00:22:23.460So, yes, so once it's available, Darura applies.
00:22:29.680And if they are not available, Darura applies and a Muslim is free to choose non-Sharia alternatives and cannot be pressured to accept only Islamic alternatives.
00:26:35.240And it says, halal has become a defining element of Muslim identity.
00:26:39.460So to be a good Muslim, you are going to buy halal all the way.
00:26:42.920That it is lucrative and that certification quadruples sales.
00:26:46.320And there's an emergence now of a new market based on halal values and principles.
00:26:53.140And it is, in effect, creating a new paradigm.
00:26:56.380But whose values and principles is the question.
00:26:59.700So the convergence of values is that it appeals now to natural food and eco-ethical niches.
00:27:05.960That the farm to fork demands halal compliance all the way.
00:27:11.160And this is driven by the Muslim diasporas of Europe and North America.
00:27:15.340And that what were considered naturally halal products are now being scrutinized regarding manufacture, micro-ingredients, and to get certification.
00:27:24.260And producers are seeking this certification to boost export sales because it quadruples export sales.
00:27:33.620Certifiers can be found for almost any method.
00:27:37.460So here's an example of what a niche market means.
00:29:31.880Europe doesn't like it, and Denmark has brought in laws, and so has New Zealand, that there must not be unstunned slaughter.
00:29:37.480Scandals caused by poor management and operation.
00:29:41.100And a proliferation of online videos highlighting bad practices.
00:29:45.860Now, in Canada, we have the largest halal expo every year in North America, the largest, and we are one-tenth the size of the U.S.
00:29:56.620But everything from insurance and mortgages to travel packages to your water bottle, everything is halal.
00:30:04.440And the U.K. is very far advanced here, and this includes not only the clothing market, but also cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.
00:30:13.640Even water is halal certified, because if it's halal certified, say the plastic bottle was manufactured in a halal factory, then that is going to get more Muslims buying it and grab that market.
00:31:20.940Kellogg is spending $100 million manufacturing a dedicated halal facility in Malaysia.
00:31:28.220And it says, close attention to details such as the integrity of all ingredients, including flavoring, coloring, additives, even the glue used in packaging, gives manufacturers a competitive edge.
00:31:39.800So brand loyalty depends on clear messaging and authentic concern for the importance of halal for the customer.
00:31:48.880Halal is non-negotiable for most Muslim consumers now.
00:31:52.520But a lot of this has to do with marketing and Western countries facilitating the growth of halal.
00:32:00.620And you'll see it doesn't always end well.
00:32:03.540So they are facilitating it through finance and halal lunches, et cetera.
00:32:18.960So everything from the fermentation, the commercial starter, the enzymes, the acids, the salts, the colorants, all have to have halal certification and statements.
00:32:31.060And now, of course, it gets into the regular food chain.
00:32:35.080And here we have top universities who are serving halal to unknowing students.
00:32:40.360And, you know, this is even though people object to not stunning animals and things like that.
00:32:46.900So it's not fair that this is being done.
00:32:49.340They don't want to buy into it, but being given to them, whether they like it or not, because it's easier for the university or, you know, the business to go, well, look, it's too hard for me to have two kinds of lunches or to clean everything in between.
00:34:56.680Now, whether you could hear it or not, I'm not sure, but there were, you know, subtitles, so you could read them.
00:35:04.780The point is that you can find a mosque, you can find a halal store, you can find a halal hotel, you can find a book, you can even find dating.
00:36:33.160Now, what it involves is saying the name of Allah.
00:36:35.980The slaughter act severs the trachea, the esophagus, both carotid arteries and the jugular veins to enhance the bleeding and death of the animal.
00:36:44.720And as you can imagine, if the animal hasn't been stunned, this is extremely distressing for the animal.
00:37:10.280And the halal checker shall also be a good Muslim.
00:37:14.040So I want to show you what the cleaning, the contaminants and cleaning procedures are.
00:37:20.780Now, what it says in the halal, or in the doctrine, in the hadith, Muhammad said the purification of the utensil belonging to any one of you after it is been licked by a dog consists of washing it seven times using sand in the first instance.
00:37:41.700So for light contamination, and this is exclusively urine of babies less than two years old, you sprinkle water over the contaminated area.
00:37:51.300For medium contamination, medium includes vomit, pus, blood, carrion, objects discharged from orifices of humans or animals.
00:38:03.780What you do is you wash with running water until the odor or visible traces of contaminant disappear.
00:38:09.400Now, for severe filth, dogs and pigs, now we have this word again, clear the naj.
00:38:16.240Wash seven times with running water, one of which shall be water mixed with soil, just like the hadith from the 7th century.
00:38:26.460What I want to point out is that unbelievers are naj.
00:40:00.380He wrote that book in 2008, and already it was just incredible how far Islamic finance had gone in the UK.
00:40:08.580He wrote that the drive for the establishment of an Islamic economic system was started by the founder of the Pakistani Islamist-Jamist Islamic movement,
00:40:21.280that the banking system began in 1978.
00:40:25.820And the European Council for Fatwa and Research said,
00:40:31.200It is permissible to utilize traditional banking in non-Islamic countries utilizing the principle of Duraa.
00:43:02.040Islamic finance courses are offered in 70 educational institutions that is vulnerable to money laundering and fraud owing to lack of transparency.
00:43:12.540The naivety of Western governments and financial institutions is extraordinary.
00:43:18.660And that Al-Qaeda was able to receive between $300 million and $500 million over a decade from wealthy businessmen and bankers
00:43:26.580representing 20% of the Saudi GMP through a web of charities and companies acting as fronts with a notable use of Islamic banking institution.
00:43:37.360And he also pointed out something else very interesting that I wasn't aware of.
00:43:42.000This book we were looking at earlier, the chairperson and the man who wrote the introduction to this book,
00:43:48.440His name is Mohammed, Mohammed Taki Usmani.
00:43:53.420And he's the vice president, Dharal Oloom, in Pakistan, in the OIC Fik Academy of Saudi Arabia.
00:44:00.040And in his book, Islam and Modernism, he answers a question as to whether jihad needs to be waged in a country where Islam can be freely preached.
00:44:09.200And he replies by quoting the Quran and stating here, killing is to continue until the unbelievers pay the jizya after they are humbled or overpowered.
00:44:20.460He says, if the purpose of killing was only to acquire permission and freedom of preaching Islam, it would have said until they allow for preaching Islam.
00:44:29.880It doesn't. It says until they pay the jizya.
00:44:32.140And as I said earlier, that jihad is in this accounting manual, that the money has to be paid to the eight categories.
00:44:42.620The zakat has to cover the eight categories.
00:44:46.120That is exactly what the Quran says, that they to fight those who don't believe until they give the jizya willingly while they are humbled.
00:44:54.620And that happens after Islamic conquest as dhimis, as second class citizens.
00:45:00.040And this man has now been removed from HSBC and Dow Jones advisory boards, but he still sits on several others and is regarded as a leading Islamic authority on Sharia-compliant finance.
00:45:12.840And a rival financial system would very likely be discriminatory against non-Muslims.
00:46:14.300I don't know why they should have to follow Ramadan, but anybody who is eating in Ramadan, during Ramadan, they are quite often accosted.
00:46:26.880So, when it comes to halal, here's a hadith that might interest you.
00:46:31.880It says from Muhammad, at the end time, some people will consider illegal sexual intercourse, the wearing of silk, the drinking of alcohol, the use of musical instrument, as lawful.
00:47:16.720This is the UK guide for reporting in the United Kingdom.
00:47:22.620And they put out this booklet, Guidance on Reporting of Islam, and that there are a number of issues about the reporting of Muslims and Islam.
00:47:30.960And it says, many of the issues it raises are relevant to the reporting of any religion or community.
00:47:35.820But the entire report is about Islam, because other communities do not complain like this.
00:47:42.880The Muslim Council of Britain complained about the accuracy of an article that said the increase in non-stunned slaughters had risen shortly because some halal certification bodies saying meat cannot be halal if the animal has been stunned prior to its slaughter.
00:47:57.260Well, the publication based its claims on government data, showing that the number of non-stunned slaughters and registered non-stunned abattoirs had increased sharply, so the complaint was not upheld.
00:48:09.680But when you have to deal with complaints all the time, it's easier just to avoid the subject altogether.
00:48:15.820Now, we looked at that app earlier, and that was to show you where to find halal products.
00:48:21.540This is another app that was created by the Council of American-Islamic Relations seven years ago, and this is for complaints.
00:48:32.740And CARE will help you finance complaints right up to the highest court in the land.
00:48:37.980So this is where we now get into the legal aspect that I showed you earlier on.
00:48:43.060And here is a hospital employee refusing to touch court and sues after getting transferred to a different department.
00:48:50.000Here is another one where a Muslim worker refuses to sell champagne at Marks and Spencer.
00:49:24.900Polygymy, first cousin marriage, blasphemy, apostasy laws, punishment such as amputation and flogging, testimony, inequality, and legal proceedings are all halal.
00:49:35.560Along with inheritance laws where a woman, say a man has four wives, the woman is entitled to a quarter.
00:49:45.340If there's a child, he's entitled to an eight, and she has to divide it between all four wives.
00:50:16.640Their programs are grounded in the Islamic worldview based on Islamic primary sources, the Quran and Sunnah, and they paint a very lovely picture of Islam.
00:50:24.380This is what we're teaching the next generation, and it will be transformative.
00:50:38.500If not, I think maybe our governments need to think twice before approving Sharia finance and all of the halal things that they're doing right now.
00:50:48.000Because it doesn't paint a very rosy picture for the future unless you want to have an Islamic country.
00:50:54.440So, this is my book, Timeless Essays About Islam and its Doctrine.
00:51:00.260It shows the doctrine in a myriad of situations, just things that happen every day, so you can see how the doctrine interacts with things that you wouldn't expect.
00:51:08.680And it explains, you know, whether or not it can be modernized, which it can't.
00:51:13.040And it ends with a brief about women, the Muslim Brotherhood, a synopsis of Sharia, and some recommendations.
00:51:48.220What I would like to do for a moment is I am going to share my screen because I think individuals may end up being a little shocked just to see, in reality, how this is infiltrating province by province.
00:52:03.620But I'm just going to show Alberta at this point.
00:52:07.100We're going to talk about Danielle Smith and the advances of halal banking, which is Sharia banking.
00:52:15.180This is that creeping Sharia that I spoke about when I sent the email out on Sunday night.
00:52:20.700You sharing your time with me during this special period.
00:52:24.900It is truly wonderful to be gathered this evening to celebrate in fellowship together.
00:52:30.420I have said for many years, and I found it interesting to hear the imam talking about the foundation of your faith this evening, because I have talked about the foundation of conservatism, being the individual, the family, the community, being built on freedom.
00:52:44.740After meeting and spending time with many of you, it is almost certainly true that these values are celebrated by Alberta Muslims as well.
00:52:51.960Now, let's talk about something else I learned from my Muslim friends.
00:52:54.780The Islamic faith does not permit you to pay interest charges to a bank, but you are.
00:52:59.860I've learned a little bit about halal banking.
00:53:02.780You are permitted to pay banking service fees.
00:53:05.680I'm here to announce this evening to all of you that we are going to change our banking laws in Alberta to allow a financial institution to not only charge interest as they do now.
00:53:14.740Yeah, but to introduce a new service, new service fee options that are in compliance with Muslim faith, this will reduce.
00:53:21.960So I'm just going to go to the next screen for a moment.
00:53:25.700Again, Daniel Smith establishes Sharia Banking in Alberta.
00:53:33.480This is the an Islamic organization that, again, is posting with Alberta's innovative approach to enable halal mortgages.
00:53:42.380As more people may be able to access mortgage lending services in this province, either wittingly or unwittingly, she is bringing Sharia law.
00:53:53.760You cannot bring another political system in that is going to challenge our constitution and our rule of law.
00:54:01.900This is something that we had screenshot, and this individual is her former deputy premier, who is now the new CEO of Halal Financing Corporation.
00:54:17.780And I think after what we've learned from Elaine tonight, I think that we can all agree.
00:54:23.380Now, under current issues on Action for Canada's page, one step further, you'll see political Islam in Canada.
00:54:30.900I would encourage you to please look up this page and the information.
00:54:35.220Action for Canada has been working at educating and bringing awareness to this very real and ever-growing threat to Canadians since 2018,
00:54:45.400when I created this report, which is a lengthy report, but which has also been verified by the Canadian intelligence that it is true and accurate.
00:54:58.360This is information that we should be one-on-one going to our elected officials and having a conversation about.
00:55:05.260And I would highly encourage you to do that.
00:55:07.700It is not only Canada, this is out throughout the Western world, Europe and the UK.
00:55:12.980Europe and the UK are fighting for their very existence, and we really want Canada to be on the front line of shutting this down.
00:55:22.960And there is no easy answer to this as well as far as accommodating Muslims in any way,
00:55:32.320because anybody that does the slightest amount of research will find out that Islam does not play nice with any non-Islamic country.
00:55:43.000They have never been able to coexist peacefully.
00:55:47.260And I have challenged people that say,
01:02:05.760You know, I don't know how many of them would actually be out there in the streets protesting and demanding Sharia if they had ever actually lived under it themselves.
01:02:31.200And Alex Newman was on the show last week, and we were talking about this very topic briefly and how the Koran teaches, their doctrine teaches that Alal said that he's the great deceiver.
01:02:45.580And that Muslims are taught that it's okay to lie to the non-believer to advance their agenda.
01:02:52.580So, in that context, I have, you know, Muslims living in the neighborhood, and they seem like very nice people when I meet them in the streets, and we have a brief conversation.
01:03:01.680But that's still because they are a minority.
01:03:04.020But it is well reported that once they reach about 10%, which we are rapidly approaching, that you begin to see the violence, the increase in violence, the increase in demands, the increase in using victimization.
01:03:22.080The last time you were on the show, we talked about what's happening in the workplace and how they strategically victim, self-victimize in order to advance their agenda.
01:03:42.900It's the ones that are organizing the rally, the ones that are creating the app, the ones that are, you know, going up to see the politicians.
01:03:50.480Honestly, if you're a politician and somebody is lobbying you for Sharia and calling it something nice, you really should be suspicious.
01:03:57.900This isn't your average Muslim or, heaven forbid, an ex-Muslim or someone who came here to escape Islam.
01:05:47.320Absolutely cannot do anything like that.
01:05:49.280So, at times, you know, in early Islam, the non-Muslim had to actually pay something called Jizya.
01:05:57.560They had to wear different clothes and things like that.
01:06:00.840Now, right now, of course, that isn't really happening exactly.
01:06:05.680So, in Nigeria, you have, you know, jihadis who will rob and take booty, and they feel it's no more than they're entitled to.
01:06:16.880And in the UK, for example, a woman I was working with, she worked with Muslim women, and she was trying to help Muslim women.
01:06:25.420And she was often told that the benefits and things they take, the welfare, you know, we've got more than one wife, because you can get more than one wife.
01:06:35.340You can have an Islamic marriage in Canada right now very easily, okay?
01:06:39.020And that person can be supported on welfare.
01:08:13.940Talking of Trudeau, I mean, he's, I mean, we're a hotbed for terrorism, whether it's Hinduism, the Kalistani Sikhs, the Muslims.
01:08:21.660I mean, we are a major threat to the United States.
01:08:24.660Trump is completely right in the actions that he's taking.
01:08:27.700I mean, Canadians are buying up, you know, gobbling up what Pierre Polyev is saying right now about Canada First, just totally erasing in their memory what he's done for the last five years and being silent in supporting the COVID measures and not speaking out boldly against them.
01:08:45.660And the Muslim Student Association, you mentioned, the FBI terrorist list has the Muslim Brotherhood listed, not as a terrorist organization in the United States just yet, but tied to the Muslim Brotherhood Association is the Muslim Student Association, which is alive and active in the major universities across Canada.
01:09:13.020We are working very hard, Elaine in her writing, Action for Canada in the background.
01:09:19.180We'll have more about this, hopefully in the near future, to let you know what we are doing to tear down all manifestations of Islam in Canada.
01:09:28.800There is no playing nice with any level of Islam for those who are serious about it.
01:09:36.100We're not talking about the moderate Muslim here, although they have become irrelevant because the Islamists have the money, the time, and the will.
01:11:13.080And once, you know, there's no need to appease the West anymore, right, once we are in that state where we are now true jimmies, what is the world going to look like?
01:11:28.940Yeah, no, and, you know, they are all talking about white supremacy right now and introducing DEI, diversity, equity, inclusion,
01:11:36.640as they are flooding us with Islamists and, you know, immigrants from very radically different countries than ours in Europe today.
01:11:46.200They just signed, they've just passed a bill in their legislature, and it really, really approved a two-tier system as far as equality was concerned,
01:11:57.200and that Muslims would not, would be afforded leniency when it came to criminal code violations, leniency.
