The increase in Islamist attacks in France in recent months has particularly affected the teaching profession. State schools have long been a symbol of the French nation and the Republic, which explains this focus by terrorists.
Since the beheading of history teacher Samuel Paty in October 2020, who was murdered for commenting on cartoons depicting the Islamic Prophet Mohammed in a lesson on freedom of expression, terrorist acts targeting teachers have increased in France.
SNOBELEN: Religion an easy target for misguided haters
By now, everyone has seen the social media clips of Hamas supporters “protesting” in malls across Canada. Seems they don’t like shoppers or Santa or something.
I can understand Christians getting a little testy with Santa. Christmas trees, reindeer and even Frosty the Snowman aren’t, last I checked, religious symbols.
Sarah Brown and her husband decided to have a date night last Friday. Their three-year-old was at the grandparent’s for the night, so the couple planned to go out for dinner and take their 8-week-old to the Yorkdale Shopping Centre in Toronto for a photo with Santa.
The police did nothing.
A British man has been accused by the German authorities of being Hamas’s key liaison in Europe with numerous alleged links to the terrorist organisation.
Majed Al-Zeer, 61, a prominent Palestinian activist who has appeared in parliament at events with Jeremy Corbyn and several other British MPs, is alleged to have contacts at the highest levels of the Hamas leadership.
A file from the German interior ministry, first reported by Der Spiegel, a German news magazine, names Al-Zeer as the “person responsible for Hamas” in Germany and across Europe.
The “war on Christmas” debate is an oldie but a goodie. It’s become something of an annual tradition to ask whether such a war is in fact going on or not. It’s usually reignited by a news story about a school replacing their Christmas concert with a “holiday concert” or a town that decides to stop putting up a Christmas tree.
This year though, the Israel-Gaza war has brought a troubling twist to the war on Christmas. Pro-Palestine protesters have decided to target malls in Canada during this busiest shopping season of the year.
We must refute the myth that Muslim-occupied medieval Spain was a bastion of peace and multiculturalism.
Recently, media attention has focused on Spain because of the public protests against its left-wing government. Widespread disapproval of the government is hardly surprising given the government’s unpopular policies regarding the economy, mass immigration, the constitution, education, and other important issues. Furthermore, with the mass influx of illegal Muslim migrants into Spain and the severe decline in Spanish birth rates, the nation finds itself at a crossroads, with its future far from certain.
A major problem that prevents many people from understanding Spain’s history with Islam is the false historiography, or even propaganda, that rewrites the history of Muslim-occupied medieval Spain and tries to portray it as a ‘bastion of peace and multiculturalism.’
Poland’s former prime minister has warned European culture is being “destroyed” by Muslim migrants from Africa and the Middle East.
Mateusz Morawiecki, who served as Poland’s prime minister from 2017 until the beginning of this month, said: “We were very open to war refugees from Ukraine when the need was there… We have opened our hearts and our gates for all refugees.
“But this is very much different from the huge [amounts of] Muslim migrants from the Middle East who are coming to Germany and France and other countries and who want to change the culture of those countries, those nations.
Any pro-Palestine demonstrators attending the promised “shut down” of Christmas planned for this weekend have been warned taking it inside shopping malls could be met with police enforcement.
… “We respect people’s charter rights, and we are always present to facilitate demonstrations that are lawful,” Pogue said at a news conference Friday morning on the eve of a Dec. 23 protest that is calling for a “shut down” and a Dec. 24, Christmas Eve, plan to have thousands of people on highway overpasses and sidewalks.
Not sure we’ll see much enthusiasm from the TPS.

German prosecutors have charged two Syrian men with “war crimes” they are accused of having committed some 10 years in the Syrian capital Damascus, as part of the so-called Islamic State militant group.
In line with German privacy rules, the Federal Prosecutors Office on Friday identified the two men as Mohammad A. and Asmael K. in a statement on its website. Authorities said both suspects were charged with being members of a foreign terror organization and of “hostage-taking resulting in death.”
Joe Roberts: Canadian Jews targeted by a maelstrom of hate that keeps getting worse
… In a country celebrated for its diversity and acceptance, Jews are now feeling compelled to hide their identities, to diminish their visibility in fear of violence and targeting. This is not just an attack on our beliefs or our heritage; it is a direct threat to our existence and freedom as Canadians.
The fact that we must consider concealing who we are, in a nation that prides itself on multiculturalism, is a stark and painful testament to the depth of this crisis. It is a chilling reminder that the shadows of the past can re-emerge, and a call to action for all who value freedom and diversity to stand against this tide of intolerance.
Islam does not exist in Joe’s Canada and diversity and multiculturalism are wonderful.
A holiday party hosted by Michigan Democrats spiraled into violence after pro-Palestine activists crashed the event and sent one attendee to the hospital.
‘Them Arabs in motherf***ing Detroit tried to kill me!’ said an activist who sustained two black eyes in the clashes.
On December 16, the 13th Congressional District Democratic Party held a private party at the Common Pub in Detroit, where around 200 people were in attendance.
After months of investigation and surveillance, Spanish police made 13 arrests this week in one of the largest anti-terror operations in recent years.
On Tuesday, Spanish National Police, working with their Moroccan counterparts, dismantled a terror recruitment cell by arresting nine in the North African exclave of Melilla and another person in the city of Nador, just across the Moroccan border, El Mundo reports.
The General Directorate for the Surveillance of Moroccan Territory (DGSN) said that the suspects were attempting to recruit new jihadists. Among those arrested was one suspect who is believed to be a member of a terrorist group operating in the African Sahel region.
‘Deepening unemployment crisis’ among Iraqi youth prompts $9.9M federal investment
Nearly $10 million in federal spending to support youth in Iraq will ultimately help Canada, International Development Minister Ahmed Hussen says, because the investment supports stability in the region overall.
“Our biggest focus in our Middle East strategy is Iraq … and the way Iraq goes is the way the rest of the region will go,” he said.
Since 2016, the federal government has spent $4.7 billion on its Middle East strategy, Hussen said. With that money, the government is tackling extremism but also building “post-conflict strategies,” he said.
Why are we sending Billions to a bunch of ME savages who hate us?
The explosion in anti-Semitism shames the woke left.
Remember Lady Hussey? A year ago this month, the British royal family was plunged into yet another race row, after Hussey, a senior royal aide, asked a black British woman at a palace event where she was ‘from’. Cue interminable TV debates, column inches and twitterings about the rotten, racist heart of British society, sparked by one clumsy comment from an octogenarian woman who clearly didn’t mean much by it.
Someone is going to get killed. It’s what happens when you abandon the rule of law. And as increasingly aggressive, openly antisemitic protests roil our cities, we now have video footage of a masked menace telling someone “I’ll put you six feet deep” in front of police officers who, after long sociological cogitation, declared it totally cool. And the “such things have no place in Canada” crowd seem to agree.
