Djemila Benhabib
Djemila Benhabib (in Arabic جميلة بن حبيب) (born 1972) is a Canadian opponent of Muslim fundamentalism, journalist, writer and politician who lives in, Quebec. She is of Algerian and Greek-Cypriot descent.[1]
She was a finalist for the 2009 Governor General's Literary Awards for her non-fiction book[2] Ma vie à contre-Coran: une femme témoigne sur les islamistes.[3][4] Her second book is Les soldats d'Allah à l'assaut de l'Occident.[5][6][7][8]
She was born in Ukraine in 1972. Her father is Algerian and her mother Greek Cypriot.[9][10]
In 2010, she appeared on the Jean-Marie Colombani invite show on the French television channel Public Sénat.[11]
In 2012, she received Le Prix international de la laïcité.[citation needed]
She was the Parti Québécois candidate for Trois-Rivières in the 2012 Quebec general election, but narrowly failed to defeat the sitting member, Danielle St-Amand.[12]
She was again candidate in 2014, this time in Mille-Îles, but was defeated by Liberal candidate Francine Charbonneau.[13]
In February 2016, a Quebec Press Council ruling "severely blames" Benhabib for plagiarizing several articles between 2014 and 2015.[14]
