This motion is all show and no substance.  Apparently, it is not enough that governments enact and enforce laws against racism and discrimination.  They must be seen to do something when tragedy strikes, like the mass killing in the Quebec City mosque.  So, a private member sponsors a motion to show solidarity with the victims and victims' families.  Everybody is happy: "Look! the government does care."  It amounts to nothing except for one thing.

The motion sets one type of hatred above the others.  Instead of condemning all forms of hatred and discrimination, it specifically names Islamophobia.  One does not always know how some might use this singling out of Islam in the future.  Why bother then?  Why not simply condemn all hatred?  Does it somehow change the meaning of the gesture?
