A 52-year-old Muslim woman named Lina Ishaq, who holds Swedish citizenship, has been sentenced to 12 years in prison for crimes against humanity, genocide and enslaving 9 Yazidi women and children in the Islamic State’s sex slave ring. 

The court recognized that Ishaq’s actions were part of a larger Islamic state campaign of genocide against the Yazidi minority, primarily native to Iraq and Syria. 

Yazidis are a religious minority who speak Kurdish and have been persecuted by Islamists for centuries: from the Ottomans, to Arabs, and most recently ISIS that took more than 6,000 Yazidi women and children into sex trafficking rings, with nearly 2,800 still missing today. 

In 2021, a prominent Yazidi human rights activist and former Islamic state sex slave herself, Nadia Murad, was set to speak on the Yazidi genocide and related topics, but was banned from speaking at Toronto schools for fear of appearing ‘Islamophobic’. 

Both Sweden and Canada have taken in numerous Muslim refugees and migrants in recent years, with Sweden having nearly one million muslims making up over 8% of the population and Canada having nearly 2 million, making up roughly 5% of the population. 

The growth of these communities have fueled new ideological fronts in Canada, including Islamism and wokeism, with the latter pushing against critique of Islam, under the guise of anti-hate, usually coining the term ‘Islamophobia’ to label critical voices as hateful. 

In just the last two years alone, twenty individuals in Canada have been arrested over ISIS-related charges, some of whom were given refugee and citizenship in Canada by Trudeau’s government.
