As explained Immigration Minister Jason Kenney, the budget office has
been reduced in light of his anti-Semitic provisions. The official also
noted that KAIROS regularly calls for recognition of such terrorist
organizations as Hamas and Hezbollah are on the list of terrorist
organizations.

In response, the representative of KAIROS said Kenny assertion is
untrue, and the decision of the Canadian government is politically
motivated. He also said that criticism of Israel should not be
construed as anti-Semitism.

Funding had been deprived of several foundations and organizations that
provide assistance to Muslim immigrants. They were accused of promoting
extremism and violence.
