Ontario’s highest court has upheld the conviction and life sentence of one of the two men found guilty of terrorism charges in a plot to derail a passenger train between Canada and the U.S.
Raed Jaser had challenged the outcome of the 2015 trial on several grounds, including that his case should have been severed from that of his co-accused, Chiheb Esseghaier—something he requested twice, unsuccessfully.
The political class has been desperate to avoid condemning this brutal Islamist attack.
Last Friday, five people were injured and one police officer was killed in a knife attack in the German city of Mannheim. The suspect is a 25-year-old man who came to Germany from Afghanistan in 2014.
Though there were no shouts of ‘Alluha Akbar’ heard on the video taken during the stabbing, there was immediate speculation that the attacker was an Islamist. This was hardly a far-fetched idea, given that most of those injured were members of an anti-Islamist activist group called Pax Europa – a branch of the ‘Stop Islamisation of Europe’ organisation.
The alleged organizer of a fatal Mississauga restaurant shooting in 2021 made a man pledge allegiance to ISIS before he told him he ordered two others to “slaughter” the victims, court heard Tuesday.
Mikail Aras testified in Superior Court in Brampton that he saw accused gunman Anand Nath at a Mississauga warehouse before and after the May 29, 2021 shooting at Chicken Land that left 25-year-old Naim Akl dead, and four members of his family injured.
He’ll probably be a Liberal candidate next election.
A Somalian refugee who murdered his seven-months-pregnant girlfriend last year in an ‘honour killing’ has been jailed for life by a Swedish court.
Saga Forsgren Elneborg, 20, was found strangled to death at her home in the city of Örebro in April 2023 in a case that shocked the Scandinavian country.
Prosecutors claimed that her 22-year-old boyfriend Mohamedamin Abdirisek Ibrahim decided to murder her rather than face the shame of telling his Muslim family that his girlfriend – believed to be half Thai, half Swedish and Christian – was expecting his baby.

Pride month got off to a chaotic start on Sunday when dozens of anti-Israel protesters affiliated with the Philadelphia chapter of Queers4Palestine clashed with revelers in the City of Brotherly Love, blocking the parade procession through the city’s historic Gayborhood.
Long-time anti-Islamism activist Michael Stürzenberger, the main focus of the bloody knife attack in Mannheim on Friday, has long had a target on his back—put there not only by extremist Islamists, but also by the German state. The Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz (BfV)—the country’s domestic spy agency—has monitored the campaigner for the past ten years, and a state-funded Bavarian anti-extremism organisation has called Stürzenberger a conspiracy theorist for warning about political Islam getting a foothold in Germany.
If you wonder why I—a woman of color, an African, a former Muslim, a former asylum seeker, and an immigrant—look at the antics of today’s anti-Israel, anti-American protesters with such fear and trembling, allow me to explain.
I was born in Somalia in 1969. The country had achieved independence nine years before. But less than a month before I was born—on October 21, 1969—a junior member of the brand-new Somali armed forces seized power with the help of the Soviet Union. The first two decades of my life were shaped by the upheaval that followed that coup.
German authorities say they believe there was an Islamist motive behind a knife attack at an anti-Islam rally in the southwestern German city of Mannheim on Friday during which a police officer was killed.
The federal prosecutor, Germany’s highest prosecuting authority with responsibility for terrorism, espionage and international criminal law, is taking on the case due to its “particular importance,” a spokeswoman said.
She said the suspected attacker, a 25-year-old Afghan national and nine-year German resident who was shot by police and remains in the hospital, is suspected to have wanted to prevent critics of Islam from exercising their right to freedom of expression.
A 29-year-old policeman has died in Germany, after intervening in a melee in which a knife-wielding attacker tried to stab protesters against Islam. And in corners of the internet-Right they’re dancing on his grave, having turned him into a symbol for the suppression of native opposition to immigration.
The Burnaby School District superintendent has issued an apology and launched an investigation after a Grade 6/7 class was presented with a question regarding the existence of Israel.
The question reads as follows:
“Some believe that Jewish people deserve or need a homeland (Israel) while others believe that Israel should not exist.”
Students were asked to give a perspective on whether Israel should or should not exist.
I bet this goes on all over the GTA.
I’ve been in and out of Germany a lot in recent months, and it’s hard not to gain the impression that its society is falling apart at the seams. Wherever you go, there seem to be angry political rallies and street protests. The news is full of violent attacks on politicians and activists. The fear is of a resurgence of far-right sentiments nearly eight decades after the fall of the Nazi regime. The concept of irrational German angst has become a bit of a cliche over the years, but this time the threats to social cohesion feel very real.

A police officer who was left in critical condition after a mass stabbing in the German city of Mannheim on Friday has died, local authorities say.
The 29-year-old was one of six people, including anti-Islam activist Michael Stürzenberger, to be wounded by the attacker, who was detained at the scene.
The police officer was stabbed several times in the head.
Despite undergoing emergency surgery, he succumbed to his wounds on Sunday afternoon.

A dance evening, the ‘farmers’ ball”, was held on Saturday evening in the Murinais ballroom organised by young farmers from Saint-Marcellin and Pont-en-Royans.
An initial brawl broke out outside the hall between two men who had just come from the party and half a dozen others who were outside, all of them young people from Saint-Marcellin. As other people came out of the hall to aid their two friends, their opponents were pushed back and they fled.

Muzzissauga seems to need a boost.
"THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE ARAB-MAJORITY CITY. THE MUSLIM MAJORITY CITY."
Really? This is Mississauga. Just outside Toronto.

Members of Canada’s Jewish community expressed both anxiety and resolve on Saturday at Shabbat services held following a week of attacks targeting schools and religious institutions that have further stoked fears of rising antisemitism.
In Vancouver, the Schara Tzedeck synagogue held its first service since the building’s front door was charred Thursday night by what police say was an act of arson.
That anxiety will never leave entirely even after the current Gaza war is put to bed.
Muslims are taught to hate Jews. It’s their religion.
Their supremacist cult also teaches them to hate everyone else.
Unless our mainstream political parties wake up and ban Muslim immigration the level of violence will only increase.
I do not expect our political class to do the right thing.
