Christine Douglass-Williams

Christine Douglass-Williams is a Canadian blogger, author, former television journalist and board member of the Canadian Race Relations Foundation, who was fired for her writings on the blog Jihad Watch.[1][2][3]

Career

Douglass-Williams is a nine-time international award-winning journalist and television producer.[4] She conducted over 1,700 live interviews on a daily call-in show On the Line on the former CTS TV, and was a fill-in host for 100 Huntley Street.[4] She has been on the board of governors of the Gatestone Institute, and a senior advisor to the Hudson Institute.[4] She also serves as the Public Affairs and Media Consultant for the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem – Canada.[4] In addition to being a daily writer at Jihad Watch, she is an associate editor at FrontPage Magazine.[4]

Termination from CRRF

Douglass-Williams was appointed to the board of the Canadian Race Relations Foundation in 2012, but her writings on the blog Jihad Watch starting not long after eventually led to her being terminated from her position in 2017.[2] The decision came after she had been put under review for an essay that warned Icelanders that they were being "duped" by seemingly moderate Muslims.[2][5] Citing her book, Douglas-Williams later claimed to "differentiate between Islamists and human rights-respecting Muslims who thrive to live peaceably and equally among Westerners."[5] On the other hand, she also advocates the notion that even "seemingly moderate Muslims" use taqiyya to hide their campaign to take over the Western world.[1]
