Journalist: I was fired for criticizing Islam

An award-winning broadcast journalist and book author has revealed that she was fired from her job for criticizing political Islam and warning Icelandic people about its dangers.

Christine Douglass-Williams, who authored “The Challenge of Modernizing Islam,” has documented her ordeal in a report titled “Canada: Islamist-Leftist-Government alliance silences free speech at the Gatestone Institute.”

“For writing and warning about political Islam, I was terminated as a director at the federal government’s Canadian Race Relations Foundation (CRRF), an agency usually at arms-length from the federal government,” she begins.

The punishment followed a “threatening letter” from Heritage Minister Melanie Joly regarding commentary she had submitted to Jihad Watch, a website that focuses on the threat from Islam and its politics.
