Canadian PM Harper announced creation of a much needed program to help persecuted religious minorities in the ME. (PMHarper).

We announced a new three-year initiative to support persecuted religious minorities in the Middle East, including Alawites, Bedouins, Christians, Druze, Ismailis, Shi’a, Yazidis, and others who are under threat from the genocidal terrorist organization ISIS.

The program will work with organizations operating in the region to protect places of worship and religious artifacts that are under threat. We will also accept 10,000 additional refugees from the region over the next four years who are facing religious persecution and death.

ISIS’s callous inhumanity seeks to destroy important holy sites and sacred places of worship in its efforts to create an extremist caliphate. Canada will work with the global community to ensure that places of worship and cultural heritage are preserved.

Justin Trudeau and Thomas Mulcair make excuses for jihadi terrorism and have publicly stated that they would end Canada’s mission to combat ISIS and protect religious minorities.

Canadians understand the real danger ISIS poses at home and abroad. We will never risk the security of Canadians, and will continue to defend our country, our families and our values. Hmmmm.....World Champion in defending Human rights Canadian PM Harper.

I was proud to be in Markham to announce our support of religious minorities under threat from ISIS #elxn42 #cdnpoli https://t.co/SDPQUGOXQf
