e-161 (Crimes against humanity)

Petition to the House of Commons in Parliament assembled

• Christians are the most vulnerable and targeted victims in the world;
• Christians are not to be found in U.N. refugee camps because they are attacked, raped, starved of food and targeted by Islamists;
• Christians have been beheaded, crucified, raped, drowned and burned alive;
• There is a Genocide of Christians in both Africa and the Middle East;
• The Islamic State and other Jihadist groups are openly glorifying the mass slaughter of Christians in the media;
• Canada is recognized as a tolerant nation, not a naive one, and Canadians will no longer tolerate the intolerant; and
• There is a precedent for such as our proposed Resolution, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe adopted a Resolution on January 27th, 2016 condemning the crimes of the “Islamic State”, and this Resolution reads: “States should act on the presumption that Daesh [ISIS] commits Genocide and should be aware that this entails action under the 1948 United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide".
