Canada's Liberal government on Wednesday unveiled plans to make online hate speech a crime, although the proposed legislation excludes social media platforms for now.

The proposed amendments to Canada's criminal codes and human rights act, which have been in the works for many months, come just weeks after an attack that killed four members of a Muslim family.

The proposed amendments would make it easier for people to launch complaints against individuals who publish on the Internet - including on social media, on personal websites, and in blog posts - as well as operators of websites. However, the operators of social media platforms are excluded for now. Ottawa said it would soon ask the public for input on proposals to make those operators more accountable.

Islam is not a mere religion. It’s a theocratic political system, imposing laws which for its followers prevail over the laws of the state. It even has its own judges and authorities. It may take time but Canada’s (& western?) excessive liberalism will cost dearly. Ask the French

in France islamists had staged few stabbings
