Toronto: Muslim Police ‘Liaison’ Who Defended Hamas Supporters Busted for 3 Sexual Assaults
“A lot of people, after October 7, started learning about Islam.”
The warning signs were pretty clear.
In an official Toronto Police Service Monday podcast, officers explained how the October 7 massacre brought people closer to Islam and that it was Islamophobic to describe pro-Palestinian rallies as pro-Hamas.
TPS Muslim Liaison officers Farhan Ali and Haroon Siddiqui made the controversial statements during a now-deleted episode of the Project Olive Branch that had been posted on Instagram.
“Through social media, a lot of people, after October 7, started learning about Islam, and they said what is it with the religion that it is so hated, you know what I mean why are they being attacked all the time?” said Siddiqui. “There have been a lot of reverts through this whole process.
At another point in the episode, which discussed Islamophobia, Ali said that there were Islamophobic undertones when labelling the anti-Israel protests that had frequented the Canadian city as pro-terrorism.
“When someone is calling a Palestinian rally a Hamas rally then all of a sudden people start getting afraid, and they think ‘oh wow these are people supporting a entity that’s been labeled as a terrorist organization,’ but the people that are protesting are there for another cause altogether.”
Ali said that falsely ascribing beliefs to an entire group of people in such a fashion was “active discrimination.”
Now Ali is on the other side of the law.
A Toronto Police constable has been suspended following an arrest by Peel Regional Police on charges of assault and sexual assault.
“Farhan Ali, 39, has been arrested and charged” with “three counts of sexual assault, three counts of assault and four counts of mischief,” Peel cops said.
After this, perhaps more people will be learning about Islam.
