AW@L Radio - 2017-03-24 - Resist the Rise of the Bigots
awalradio-2017-03-24-respondingToRiseInAntiMuslimHate.mp3From the March 24th edition of AW@L Radio, the show starts with a run down of the events at a Peel regional school board meeting, where anti-muslim bigots ripped up a Koran and yelled at people shaming them.

After a clip of Lowkey's Ahmed (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNqum-_5RhY), we speak of the protests against M-103 (a motion to study the rise in hate in Canada - specifically anti-muslim hate) and we get into a report back from the counter-demo in Kitchener, where antifa contained and outnumbered the confused members of the CCCC. While under the bogus guise of "free speech", all of the anti M-103 protestors AW@L Radio spoke with, asked if we had read the Koran.
We also note the apparent success of the #IAMWRAgainstRacialDiscrimination campaign (despite the length of the hashtag...), and hype of the antifa resistance worldwide.
"The facists already have unfettered access to the mainstream media, it is the people's job to keep the bigots off the streets and out of public places." - antifa at the counter demo at the KW anti-m-103 protest.
