TORONTO (LifeSiteNews) — A Muslim woman fighting to protect children from gender ideology in Canadian schools is facing online threats from LGBT activists.
On August 6, Bahira Abdulsalam, an educator and Toronto mother, revealed that she has been subjected abusive messages online as LGBT activist try to “silence” her work to safeguard children from LGBT indoctrination in schools.
“You cannot imagine the amount of threats, insults I am getting just because I am saying I want my children to be educated without gender ideology,” Abdulsalam told True North News.
“They are trying to silence me, and they are trying to scare me,” she added.
Abdulsalam ran for mayor in the 2023 by-election and currently sits on the Toronto District School Board’s Parent Involvement Advisory Committee.
During her time in Canada, Abdulsalam has received several hateful messages for her work against the LGBT agenda.
“Take your fundamentalist religious extremism and MOVE BACK TO THE THEOCRACY YOU CAME FROM,” one user told her.

“And, the more you go off the more I think you need to be kicked out of our country and back to your own,” another wrote. “Try your freedom of speech over there and see how long it lasts.”
Another user informed Abdulsalam, who is also an engineer, that they filed a complaint with the Professional Engineers Ontario licensing body over Abdulsalam’s comments criticizing Canada’s lack of free speech.

Despite the abusive messages, Abdulsalam remains determined to fight against the LGBT agenda. In fact, Abdulsalam revealed that receiving the hateful messages “makes me feel more determined to continue” advocating against LGBT indoctrination.
“Let’s say that Professional Engineers Ontario decided to take away my license, is this going to make me stop defending my child or other people’s children? No,” she responded.
“I am not worried about them cancelling me,” she added.
“I am a single mother. I have lots of things to care about. All (I am doing) is I’m speaking the truth,” Abdulsalam said. “When people say the truth, it becomes so powerful. This is my weapon that is threatening them.”
Recent months have seen an increase in Muslims and Christians joining forces in the fight to defend children from LGBT ideology.
On June 1, thousands of students across Canada stayed home as part of a Campaign Life Coalition initiative to protest the promotion of “Pride Month” in the public education system, with at least one school reportedly having 75% of its students missing.
Earlier this year, a leaked audio recording of Canadian teacher lambasting her Muslim students for missing school to protest “pride” sparked backlash across social media. Many were outraged that the teacher implied that students cannot withhold support for “pride” and be “Canadian.”
In June, video footage of Muslim boys trampling “pride” flags at a pro-family rally organized by Christian activist Josh Alexander went viral.
Later that same month, a group of Muslims gathered outside Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s office on Wellington Street in downtown Ottawa to demand an end to LGBT indoctrination in the classroom.
And again in late June, well over 250 Muslim and Christian parents, children, and other pro-family citizens gathered for the second straight weekend in Calgary, Alberta, to protest the ongoing promotion of extreme LGBT ideology in public schools.
As the protests continue to increase in frequency and turnout, Trudeau, instead of addressing the concerns of parents, lectured Muslims on participating in these pro-family events, claiming that the protests are “fueled by the American right wing.”
Trudeau then claimed that online material is “being weaponized by people who are not doing it because of their interest in supporting the Muslim community.”
On September 20, Canadian Muslims are planning to hold a “Million Person March” to unite Canadians of all religions in the fight against LGBT indoctrination in schools.
