A now-disqualified United Conservative Party candidate is defending racist and anti-Islam comments he made on social media that prompted his removal from the southern Alberta ballot.
The posts, in which he calls the religion an “evil cult,” came to light only days before party members were set to vote in the district of Brooks-Medicine Hat for their representative to run under the UCP banner in the 2019 Alberta election.
“Did I say harsh words? You’re darn right I did, and I stand behind them,” Todd Beasley said Monday in an interview with CBC News.
The party rejected Beasley as a candidate on the weekend, citing some of his online comments, including several posted to Facebook in 2017.
“Islam is not a religion of peace. It’s cruel, revolting, racist, oppressive and has no legitimate basis,” said one of Beasley’s Facebook posts. “The Mongols would have done mankind a favour if they snuffed this evil cult when they had the chance.”
Beasley was commenting in response to a post criticizing what the original writer called “an extreme anti-Muslim agenda” in Canada. In response to that same post, Beasley called the Prophet Muhammad a series of hateful names.
In the interview with CBC News, Beasley said he wants people to know that his opinions about Islam are informed by his contention that some Muslim religious leaders preach violence against “Christians and Jews.”
“When it comes down to it, I did say some tough words. Perhaps I went a little bit overboard on some of those words but I absolutely stand behind the sentiment of what I said,” Beasley said.

If I were Lucifer, the Devil, Islam would be the religious cult(ure) I’d propagate among humanity and be doing so for 1400+ years now.
If I were Lucifer, the Devil, Marxist-Communism would be the social, political, economic idealism I’d propagate throughout humanity in hopes of capturing as many if not all agnostics and atheists and I’d be doing it for now over 150 years.
If I were Lucifer, the Devil, the INTERSECTION of cultural Islam with the social, political ideals of Communism would be my ideological playground. I’d work to draw the two disparate idealisms into an unholy alliance to attack the forces of general good, liberty, freedom, free markets, spirituality including the weakening of those who may/would follow the values of the real God and not the fallen angel ‘god’ of Lucifer.
If I were Lucifer, the Devil, THIS ABOVE HERE WOULD 100% BE MY PLAYBOOK IN MY ATTACK ON RIGHTEOUSNESS AND GOD!
