Prime Minister Justin Trudeau blamed the "American right-wing" for Canadian Muslims' opposition to gender ideology and LGBTQ curriculum in K-12 education.
The video was of Trudeau speaking with the Muslim community last week at a Calgary mosque – Baitun Nur Mosque – after hundreds of protesters rallied against gender ideology in schools, chanting "Leave our kids alone."
The frustration reached a boiling point after audio surfaced of an Edmonton Public Schools teacher berating Muslim students for skipping school in order to avoid pride events.
. . . A Muslim individual explained to Trudeau where the community was coming from, according to the video. "I ask you, Mr. Prime Minister, please protect our culture, our belief, the sin that you are doing to them."
He responded, "First of all, there is an awful lot of misinformation and disinformation out there [from] people on social media, particularly fueled by the American right-wing are spreading a lot of untruths about what is actually… in the curriculum."
Michelle Goldberg, an opinion columnist at The New York Times called the supposed ideological alliance between Christians and Muslims on education "strange new political bedfellows," and went on to list the right's purported phobia of Muslims. MSNBC peddled a similar narrative, at least twice in recent weeks, claiming the right was "recruiting" Muslims. The claim was disputed by an executive at the Council for American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).

actually it's kind of telling (in terms of homophobia) that they appear to think that muslims would embrace the eradication of homosexuality like iran, and if they don't then its blamed on Americans..

People keep reelecting Trudeau, so his opinions must matter.
Muslims disapprove of LBGTQ because the Quran tells them to.
