Two alleged Islamic State-inspired terrorists plotted to massacre Jews in the North West, a court has heard.
Walid Saadaoui, 38, and Amar Hussein, 52, planned to “kill as many members of the Jewish community as they could” with assault rifles similar to those used in the 2015 Paris terror attacks, Preston Crown Court was told.
Jurors were told the pair hoped to become “martyrs” after causing “untold harm” by planning “mass fatalities”.
The man who carried out the Manchester synagogue attack made a 999 call in which he pledged allegiance to the group calling itself Islamic State.
Jihad Al-Shamie, 35, was shot dead by police outside the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation synagogue after a car and knife attack that saw two Jewish men killed.
The call was made after Al-Shamie’s car hit a wall after he drove into worshippers, a spokesperson for Counter Terrorism Police North West confirmed.
Robert Jenrick has only gone and forgotten the golden rule of the woke era. Namely, that you are permitted to bemoan a surplus of white people, but you must never clock an absence of white people. Wailing about the pale, stale males who clog up our institutions is fine. Wondering where the white people are at when you visit certain parts of the Midlands is evil. How did these rules of the new racialism slip his mind?
Two events this week tell us something’s gone wrong on Canadian university campuses and streets.
On Tuesday, the University of Toronto (U of T) Students’ Union will be organizing a rally titled “Honouring Our Martyrs.” This event will commemorate the second anniversary of the Hamas-led massacre in southern Israel.

The Canadian families of eight victims of the Hamas-led Oct. 7 attack on Israel have written to Prime Minister Mark Carney, criticizing him for not reaching out to them since taking office, and asking him for a meeting.
Their letter to the Prime Minister noted that other world leaders have held several meetings with families of victims in the two years since the attack.
A 43-year-old man charged with an attempted arson attack on a mosque owned by Kettering Muslim Association has appeared in court.
Yesterday, (Tuesday, October 7) Arif Ali Rafiq of Harlestone Road, Northampton, appeared at Northampton Magistrates Court.
In line with new guidance, Mr Rafiq’s ethnicity was given out by Northants Police as a ‘British-born Asian man’.

Amirah Sharhan recalls it being a regular fall afternoon in October 2024.
The Yemeni American, who had been living in the Dearborn and Detroit area for four years, was preparing dinner while her mother took Amirah’s seven-year-old daughter, Saida, to a nearby playground to play with her friends.
But when the door of their home slammed open a little after 3pm, everything changed.
Saida rushed in, holding a napkin against her neck. When Amirah moved it away, she saw a long, deep cut across her daughter’s neck. A man had approached her on the playground, grabbed her head and slit her throat with a knife.
Guardian horseshit:
Amirah is convinced her daughter and mother were targeted for being Muslims; the attack happened two days after the first anniversary of Hamas’s terrorist attack on Israel and her grandmother was the only visibly Muslim person in the park.
That the accused was not ultimately charged with committing hate crimes has angered the local Muslim and Arab American communities who have been feeling abandoned and afraid since 7 October 2023.
The real Dearborn
People in Dearborn, Michigan chant Death to America, Death to America but Rashida Tlaib refused to condemn it
Raise your hand ✋️ if you don't think Rashida Tlaib should be a member of any commitees
She hates this country, and shouldn't be privy to its sensitive information pic.twitter.com/AUkT5eD5RN

Saying he doesn’t “believe” it was accidental, Ontario’s education minister lambasted a Toronto high school Tuesday for playing an Arabic version of O Canada as Jewish students mourned the second anniversary of the barbaric mass murders of Oct. 7.

As Germany commemorates the 35th anniversary of reunification, the contrast with 1990 could not be more stark. Back then, jubilant crowds gathered spontaneously at Brandenburg Gate and atop the crumbling Berlin Wall. Last week’s celebrations still drew many people, but the atmosphere was tainted by fear. In Germany today, one question looms over every public gathering: will we be safe?
Why Christians Should Care about the Cultural Surrender of Britain
I don’t live on the south coast of England anymore, so—even at an imaginative level—the relentless thousands of fighting-age Muslim men arriving on the shores of Britain on boats each week does not appear to affect my life, my family, or my nation.
I do see it up-close in cities in the Midlands and the north, of course, where multiculturalism has simply been an open drawbridge for cultural Islamism, and where whole areas of such cities look like a completely different place to the Britain most of us grew up knowing.
For most of Britain’s population—even myself—it is remarkably easy to block it all out and pretend it’s not really happening. But it is happening. And it shows no signs of stopping happening anytime soon. Why do we pretend it’s not happening?
Via Rod Dreher’s Diary – There Is No Israel For Most Of Us
It’s the fact that it happened in Britain that is so disturbing. We can no longer tell ourselves that this is a safe country, a country that elevates civic order and religious tolerance, a country that leaves anti-Semitism, along with other forms of extremism, to excitable foreigners.
Until this week, British Jews had been spared the horrors visited on their co-religionists in even our nearest neighbours. France has seen stabbings at a Marseilles synagogue, children shot in a Jewish school in Toulouse, a hostage siege in a kosher supermarket in the Île-de-France, a knife attack on a Jewish community centre in Nice and hundreds of incidents of desecration, intimidation and abuse.
Like Great Britain Canada imported Islam.
Who thought inviting a cult that hates us was good idea?
The Manchester synagogue terrorist had a tangled love life with several women including a Muslim convert, it has emerged.
Jihad al-Shamie, 35, was living with his mother after splitting from his wife and is said to have been obsessed with an Islamic dating app.
He is said to have sent abusive messages to an ex-girlfriend whom he had encouraged to watch “extreme” videos and married a Muslim convert in secret before his wife left him six months ago.
Six people were injured in a shooting on Friday night in the town of Gävle, Sweden. Gunfire erupted around 2 a.m. local time on a lively street lined with bars, restaurants, and shops, where people were out enjoying the evening. Swedish Minister of Justice Gunnar Strömmer described the incident as as “a very serious and ruthless act of violence.”
None of the victims—all teens—sustained life-threatening injuries, but all required hospital care, police spokesman Tobias Ahlén-Svalbro told Expressen.
Members of a pro-Palestine protest in Rome reportedly defaced a statue honouring the late Pope John Paul II with graffiti that described him as a “fascist”.
The statue of Pope John Paul II in the Piazza Cinquecento outside of Rome’s Termini railway station was spray-painted with the communist hammer and sickle symbol and the words “fascist shit”. Meanwhile, a keffiyeh headdress was wrapped around the statue’s neck.

“What we see in Africa today is a kind of silent genocide or silent, brutal, savage war that is occurring in the shadows and all too often ignored by the international community… [J]ihadist groups are in a position to take over not one, not two, but several countries in Africa…. It’s very dangerous for the national security of the United States…. Christians are going to be targeted and destroyed.” — Alberto Miguel Fernandez, geopolitical analyst and former U.S. diplomat, Fox News, August 7, 2025, Mozambique.
