“They [Muslims] come into a Western country like Canada, claiming Islam is a religion of peace, but this is often a strategic move to gain influence. They have many, many children, and bring in more family members. Meanwhile, we in Canada contracept and abort our children, leading to a decline in our population. Eventually, we will be massively outnumbered.” – Ruth Robert on Islam’s strategy in Western countries
Ottawa, May 20, 2024 — In a powerful one-night event organized by Action4Canada, Ruth Robert, a prominent pro-life activist, captivated her audience in Ottawa. Known for her unwavering advocacy against abortion, Ruth unveiled another facet of her life that many were unaware of—her upbringing as a Christian in an Islamic state governed by Sharia law. In an exclusive interview with RAIR Foundation, she shared harrowing insights into her past and her concerns about the future of Canada.
Ruth began by highlighting the dangers posed by the increasing Muslim population in Canada, particularly the risk of Sharia law taking root. “In the long run, it will be very dangerous,” she warned. “While a lot of Muslims might be nominal, devout followers of Islam are mandated to enforce their religion, even to the point of killing those who refuse to convert. They are allowed to practice ‘Hudna,’ a false peace until they have the power to enforce Islamic law. They come into Western countries like Canada, claiming Islam is a religion of peace, but this is often a strategic move to gain influence.”
Ruth detailed the demographic strategy she believes is being employed. “They have many children and bring in more family members. Meanwhile, we in Canada contracept and abort our children, leading to a decline in our population. Eventually, we will be massively outnumbered, and when they have the majority, they will impose the same brutal laws that govern the Middle East.”
She spoke from personal experience, sharing the grim reality of living under Sharia law. “In the country where I grew up, if I refused to convert to Islam, anyone could legally kill me. Honor killings were common, and I knew someone involved in one. It’s a collective act, with family members pressuring each other to participate, making it difficult to identify the final executioner. This young man, haunted by his actions, confided in me. These atrocities are part and parcel of Sharia law, and I don’t want to see that come to Canada.”
When asked about the inevitability of Sharia law spreading in Canada as the Muslim population grows, Ruth affirmed, “Absolutely. Within their communities, they live by their religious dictates. Once they have significant political influence, they will act accordingly. There’s power in numbers, and they will outnumber us. Not every Muslim is devout, but enough are to bring about this danger.”
Ruth also pointed out the disproportionate impact on women. “Women are more vulnerable under Sharia law. There are stricter sexual ethics, and men are more likely to get away with promiscuity. In my country, women who were not virgins on their wedding night could be stoned to death, a fate much less likely for men. Women will be the first to suffer under such laws.”
Her message to Canada and other nations welcoming large numbers of Muslim immigrants was clear: “Beware the gradual imposition of Sharia law. It’s not just a threat to Christians, but to all who value freedom and equality.”
Ruth’s Personal Experience in an Islamic State
During the question and answer session of Ruth Robert’s discussion at the Act4Canada event, she provided a deeper understanding of her upbringing in an Islamic state governed by Sharia in response to a question from RAIR Foundation. She offered a chilling insight into the realities faced by religious minorities in such environments. While she refrained from disclosing the specific country for the safety of individuals still residing there, she candidly shared her experiences.
“I was asked by family members not to reveal where in the Middle East I live just to have a level of security. There are still people there, we don’t want to put in danger,” Ruth explains. She draws a distinction between Islamic and Arabian cultures, acknowledging their interconnectedness while highlighting their differences. “Arabian culture can be very pro-life, very pro-family,” she notes, appreciating certain aspects while also recognizing the dangers posed by fundamentalism.

Ruth Robert: A Voice for Life in Canada.
At the event, Ruth spoke for about an hour regarding her remarkable journey and insights on the state of abortion policy in Canada and her pro-life advocacy. She emphasized the emotional and spiritual impact of the recent March for Life event in Canada, particularly highlighting a poignant moment involving a woman who transitioned from being a counter-protester to seeking post-abortion healing. This powerful transformation demonstrated the impact of prayer and the transformative potential of the pro-life movement. Ruth also shared personal anecdotes and statistics to underscore the urgency and importance of the pro-life cause in Canada.
Ruth’s journey began in the Middle East, where her parents worked. She grew up amid a Christian culture that deeply valued family and community. Despite the Islamic persecution that Christians faced, Ruth embraced Christianity in an underground church, a testament to her strong faith. She recounted the profound influence of growing up in a society that treated family and the dying with dignity, contrasting sharply with her experiences upon moving to Canada.
Moving to Canada was a cultural shock for Ruth. She grappled with a relaxed moral climate and a “lukewarm” church that often compromised its teachings. Ruth described her first day at university, where she felt out of place in her modest attire amidst peers dressed in casual clothing. This culture shock extended to her discovery of the pride movement and gender dysphoria, concepts foreign to her upbringing. She also faced disappointment with the lackluster and sometimes heretical teachings in Canadian churches.
Her calling to the pro-life movement in Canada was clear and unshakable. Despite not having personal experience with abortion, Ruth was driven by a divine calling and the disturbing reality of abortion in Canada, where it is legal up until birth is complete. She shared a powerful childhood memory of discovering the brutal reality of abortion procedures during a school project, a moment that left an indelible mark on her conscience. Her activism began in earnest with 40 Days for Life, a prayer and fasting initiative aimed at ending abortion through peaceful vigils.
Ruth’s work with Campaign Life Coalition as the Atlantic coordinator involves organizing events, connecting with pro-life supporters, and training new activists. She emphasized the importance of community and persistent advocacy to effect change, drawing parallels from the successful overturning of Roe v. Wade in the United States. Ruth highlighted the need for recognizing the personhood of the unborn child from fertilization rather than merely implementing incremental laws that might ultimately undermine the pro-life cause. Her insights into the necessity of a pro-life majority in Parliament were powerful, advocating for a unified and uncompromising approach to abortion laws in Canada.
Ruth also discussed her experiences with different Christian denominations in Canada. She noted the significant support from Protestant groups like Baptists and Pentecostals, contrasting with the often lukewarm response from denominations like the United Church. Her journey led her to the Catholic Church, where she found a community aligned closely with her pro-life values and teachings.
One of Ruth’s most impactful projects was her involvement in closing Clinic 554 in New Brunswick. Through persistent prayer campaigns and strategic advocacy, she and her team shut down the clinic, highlighting the power of community and divine intervention in the pro-life movement.
Ruth’s fight is not just about the legal and political battle against abortion but also a call to moral and spiritual awakening. Her experiences in the Middle East, her cultural shock in Canada, and her unwavering faith have all shaped her into a passionate advocate for life. Her story is a testament to the power of prayer, community, and persistent advocacy in the pro-life movement. Ruth’s journey shines a light on the importance of standing firm in one’s beliefs and the transformative power of faith and dedication in the face of societal challenges.
