An inquest into the death of Sara Sharif should examine if concerns over cultural sensitivities meant teachers were afraid to question why she began wearing a hijab after being seen with bruises, an MP has suggested.
Will Forster, who became MP for Woking in July, said that the review into the 10-year-old’s death had to look at every aspect of her care.
At the Old Bailey on Wednesday, Urfan Sharif, Sara’s father, 42, and Beinash Batool, her step-mother, 30, were convicted of her murder.
Islamophobia and community cohesion should have been co-accused.
Across Germany Syrians have been celebrating in the streets the downfall of former president Bashar al-Assad. But now many will be feeling less euphoric, as some politicians question their future in Germany.
There are around a million people with a Syrian passport in Germany. Most of them came from 2015-16, after Angela Merkel’s government made a decision not to close Germany’s borders to refugees fleeing Syria’s civil war.
The mood at the time was that Germany would manage. The climate now is rather different.

Sara Sharif’s evil father faces life in prison today for the murder of the schoolgirl failed by authorities after a decade of missed opportunities to stop a monster.
Urfan Sharif beat his 10-year-old daughter to death in an act of unspeakable brutality after spending 16 years torturing women and children.
The next day the 42-year-old taxi driver fled to his native Pakistan with his wife and willing accomplice Beinash Batool, 30, thinking he would get away with it after police repeatedly failed to bring charges when assaults were reported by three women and two children.

We rarely run pieces this long. But today’s investigation—the story of how antisemitism became deeply embedded in Justin Trudeau’s Canada—called for it. This is a piece worth reading carefully. It is relevant not just to our many Canadian readers, but to anyone invested in the future of the West. —Bari Weiss
For Sarah Rugheimer, a professor of astronomy at York University in Toronto, the first sign of the virulent strain of antisemitism now embedded in Justin Trudeau’s Canada appeared on a lamppost.
It was a few weeks after the Hamas massacre of last October 7. Rugheimer, 41, was walking in a park near her home in the city’s quiet Cedarvale neighborhood when she saw a poster of the Israeli hostage Elad Katzir, a 47-year-old farmer from Kibbutz Nir Oz, covered with swastikas.
In the days that followed, as the war raged in Gaza, swastikas turned up all over Cedarvale. They also started appearing on the York campus, where Rugheimer serves as the Allan I. Carswell Chair for the Public Understanding of Astronomy. As fall turned to winter, a swastika showed up in the snow outside the campus building where she works.

The British jihadists who could be freed from Syrian camps
Dozens of Isis fighters, brides and children from Britain are still living in the squalid camps and prisons of northeast Syria.
The rebels’ successful march on Damascus has led experts to warn of the security risk to the UK if the remaining adult Britons escape or are freed in the resulting chaos.
Sir Alex Younger, the former head of MI6, said the end of Bashar al-Assad’s regime risked a “serious spike” from the threat of “a very large number” of newly freed Isis prisoners. Experts have also warned that the conditions in the prisons and camps of Kurdish-controlled northeast Syria make them a breeding ground for radicalisation.

After cheers rang out in Damascus this weekend at the toppling of brutal Syrian dictator Bashar Assad, there came another sound: that of countries slamming the door on Syrian refugees. On Monday, 15 European nations declared that they would no longer grant them asylum. Some, like Austria, are discussing deportations; German politicians are suggesting that the country charter aircraft and offer financial incentives for people to leave. The United Kingdom has similarly put on a pause on asylum claims from Syrian refugees.

OTTAWA – Immigration Minister Marc Miller says Canada will continue evaluating the asylum claims of people who have fled Syria, even as some European countries are pausing those claims after the Assad regime’s fall.
Miller says Canada’s asylum system isn’t seeing the same pressure as European counterparts such as Germany and Austria.
Syrian President Bashar Assad fled the country on Sunday, and is reportedly in Russia, after opposition forces seized the capital Damascus.

First Uyghur refugee arrives under Canadian effort to resettle persecuted minority groups from China
A Uyghur woman is the first refugee from China’s persecuted minority groups to arrive in Canada under a federal government resettlement effort launched in 2023.
The Canadian government has committed to bring in Uyghurs and other Turkic minorities who have fled repression in China. This follows from a February, 2023, vote in the House of Commons where MPs voted unanimously in favour of Motion M-62, which called on Ottawa to accept 10,000 Uyghurs and other minorities, and a February, 2021, vote where MPs also backed a declaration that Beijing’s treatment of these people amounted to genocide.
I bet our China class told the boys “here’s a sure fire way to suck up to Xi”. So Justin said to Xi “You got a Muslim problem? Ship em’ to Canada we ALWAYS need more stabby Muslims.”

Shamima Begum’s hopes of returning to the UK have been “bolstered” by the fall of Bashar al-Assad, her lawyer has told The Telegraph.
Begum, one of three schoolgirls who travelled to Syria in 2015 to join Islamic State, has been languishing in a detention camp in north-eastern Syria for at least five years.
Now aged 25, she has lodged a series of legal claims in the UK courts in an attempt to return but has lost on grounds of national security and the threat posed to the British public.

In Qardaha, in the Alawite lands of Latakia on the Mediterranean, stands the sumptuous and pristine marble mausoleum worthy of an Arab monarch. It is here the founder of the brutal Assad dynasty, Hafez al-Assad, is buried in magnificence.
Assad was not the original family name. Hafez’s grandfather was a powerful character known as Sulayman al-Wahhish—the al-Wahhish meaning the wild beast—for his strength; one of his sons was Ali, another formidable figure, a farmer and leader known for his toughness, he had eleven children; Hafez was his ninth son. His nickname was al-Assad—the Lion—and he adopted that as his family’s name.
Off to the usual start …

I hope all of Trudeau’s Syrians will return home so they can get their fill of torturing Christians and Kurds.

Earlier this year, activist and blogger Michael Stürzenberger became the victim of an Islamist attack because of his harsh criticism of Islam. Now, six months later, he has been convicted for incitement to hatred and given a fine by a regional court in Hamburg – also because of his harsh criticism of Islam.

The Oxford Union has a reputation as one of the world’s most prestigious debating societies and is a bastion of free speech.
But it has found itself at the centre of a censorship row after publishing muted footage of a debate on genocide.
Jonathan Sacerdoti, a Jewish journalist and Oxford alumnus, was heckled and abused during a speech opposing a student motion branding Israel an ‘apartheid state responsible for genocide’.
