CANCELLED for Islam Book Review: COLLIN MAY

CANCELLED for Islam Book Review: COLLIN MAY19 aug57 min

Collin May had a successful academic and professional career, culiminating in his appointment in 2022 as chair of the Human Rights Commission for the Canadian province of Alberta.

But May's 2009 review of an academic book about Islam was about to destroy his career.

The National Council of Canadian Muslims, a lobby group with links to the Muslim Brotherhood, claimed that passages in May's review were offensive and Islamophobic. May was sacked after defending his review and refusing to resign.

In this powerful interview, May explains how this resulted him losing his home and his reputation. But the experience also inspired his book about cancel culture's evolution into something even more dangerous: “incarceration culture”.

Collin May is now the reserach director of the Free Speech Union Canada.
