On the day of the invasion, Hassan Husseini reacted to a social media post by the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA) that denounced Canadians celebrating the atrocities by responding: “It is called liberation of stolen land, stupid!!!”
Islam and violence
Calgary: Evidence closes in trial of Muslim terrorism suspect without him testifying
The evidentiary portion of Calgary terrorism suspect Jamal Borhot’s lengthy trial concluded Thursday without the accused testifying in the case.
But defence lawyer Pawel Milczarek said he didn’t put his client on the witness stand because of the vagueness of the Crown’s case against him.
“Every time the defence has asked for the Crown to formally outline its position about what it is alleging Mr. Borhot did or what activity of Islamic State he allegedly enhanced over this period of 11 months, they have refused,” Milczarek said outside court, reading from a prepared statement.
Germany cuts benefits of asylum seekers who refuse litter-picking work
Germany has cut the benefits of asylum seekers who refused to pick rubbish in the aftermath of heavy flooding in east Germany for less than a pound an hour.
… Mamad Mohamad, from the migrant network Lamsa, criticised the court’s decision, suggesting the work order was exploitative.
“Refugees are not willing, cheap workers who can be ordered to work,” he told public broadcaster MDR.

Australia has a problem with Islamic sectarianism
Sectarianism is playing a growing role in Western elections. In the UK, several ‘pro-Gaza’ independents were elected in former Labour seats in this month’s General Election. All of them were supported by an organisation called The Muslim Vote (TMV), and all stood as essentially single-issue candidates. Many others supported by TMV, such as Akhmed Yakoob in Birmingham Ladywood, reeled in huge support and came close to unseating prominent Labour MPs. These races were tainted by intimidation and harassment-heavy campaigning, largely directed at Labour candidates accused of being insufficiently critical of Israel.
Psst … Muslims will literally throw you off a roof – “Discourse around Pride and Palestinian rights part of history of activism in the 2SLGBTQ+ community”
In the wake of the Hamas-led attack on Israel on Oct. 7 last year and Israel’s subsequent military assault in Gaza, Halifax Pride and other organizations in Canada have faced calls from parts of the 2SLGBTQ+ community to support Palestinian people.
Community educator Aaliyah Paris is one non-binary and queer person in Halifax who’s made that call.
She wants more transparency from Halifax Pride, and for it to divest from companies on the Canadian boycott, divest and sanction (BDS) list — a group of firms, organizations and people that pro-Palestinian groups say should be boycotted to put pressure on Israel.
Hamas’s ‘Popularity’: Attempt To Deceive The American Public?
Where does US President Joe Biden obtain his knowledge on Palestinians is a question that has to be asked, especially in light of his recent statement regarding the popularity of the Iran-backed terrorist group Hamas.
“If you notice, there is a growing dissatisfaction in the West Bank, from the Palestinians, about Hamas,” Biden said during a press conference. “Hamas is not popular now.”
Biden, whose approval ratings are plummeting, can only be jealous of Hamas’s increasing popularity among the Palestinians.
Etobicoke residents upset over plan to build Somali centre
A city-backed plan to build a recreation centre for Toronto’s Somali community is facing an uncertain future, after fierce backlash from residents who have enlisted Premier Doug Ford in their fight to stop the project coming to their neighbourhood.
The group behind the proposal to construct a Somali Centre for Culture and Recreation (SCCR) in Etobicoke’s Buttonwood Park says it would be the culmination of a decades-long effort to carve out space for a Black community that has endured discrimination and lacks access to public amenities.
Nothing says identity politics ghetto like a tax payer funded Mohammedan centre.
Macron or Le Pen? It doesn’t matter
As Tony Blair put it, “what do you leave behind?”. Demographics, stupid.
Everyone knows this, but the fool who only wants to see his own finger believes he is entitled to dispute what is obvious and to accuse the wise man who points to the moon of “racism”.
Before the 2022 Champions League final at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis, football champion Thierry Henry (father of Guadeloupe, mother of Martinique, not a white supremacist) shocked public opinion by saying that “Be careful, the stadium is in Saint-Denis, not in Paris,” only to add: ““It’s near Paris but trust me you don’t want to be in Saint-Denis. It’s not the same as Paris, trust me.”
Former federal appointment overseer says Liberals’ explanation for not vetting Dattani isn’t believable
OTTAWA — A former aide to then prime minister Stephen Harper who oversaw major appointments is casting doubt on the Liberals’ explanation that the public service failed to properly vet Canada’s new human rights commissioner Birju Dattani.
Howard Anglin, who served as Harper’s deputy chief of staff, said that each appointment for the head of a major agency or board goes through layers of verifications from ministerial staff, the Privy Council Office (PCO) and the cabinet itself.

Isis issues fresh threats ahead of Paris Olympics
In a couple of weeks, an estimated 15 million tourists will visit Paris for the upcoming Olympic Games. Around 10,500 athletes from 206 countries will compete for sporting glory. But there are growing security concerns over the threat posed by Islamist extremists due to a massive surge in recent days of Islamic State (IS) propaganda about attacking stadiums.
The French are losing the demographic war
France’s recent election shows a nation in turmoil. Many French citizens are afraid that “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity” will give way to “Allahu akbar.”
The U.S. media report the election as a surprise victory for the left and a defeat for Marine Le Pen’s “far-right” National Rally party.
It’s a bit more complicated than that.
Double Plus Good Enrichment: Muslim Migrant Shows Why Importing Islam To Canada Is Such A Damned Blessing
London doctor’s ‘death to Israel’ post triggers backlash
A London doctor has sparked outrage over a social media post calling for “death to Israel,” with some pro-Israel supporters calling for her medical licence to be revoked.
Dr. Nahla Al Sarraj, now in post-graduate psychiatry studies at Western University’s Schulich School of Medicine, in a video post on X spoke about the months-long conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza and called for “death to Israel and death to Zionism.”
Jewish advocates say details around investigation into human-rights chief murky
OTTAWA – Three weeks after the federal Liberals promised to do a “formal, independent review” of the appointment of Canada’s new human-rights commissioner, the government hasn’t provided any details about what that review will entail.
Birju Dattani, former executive director of the Yukon Human Rights Commission, was named as the new head of the Canadian Human Rights Commission on June 14.
On Aug. 8, he is set to start a five-year term in the new job, as the first person of colour and the first Muslim man to hold the role.
