While Israelis are doing their best this week to rise above the unprecedented political turmoil in their country and celebrate the 75th anniversary of the founding of the world’s only Jewish state, an avant-garde Ottawa arts centre is getting ready to play host to an international conference this weekend, organized by a shadowy terror-connected network devoted to Israel’s destruction.
We all know why this is happening.
Some call them the Salafist police. Others say they are just ordinary extremists. Either way, they are terrorizing other Muslims in the Netherlands, radicalizing Muslim youth, and working to undermine the secular democratic system – not just in Holland, but in Belgium, France, and elsewhere across Europe.
While America seems to have largely forgotten the threat of radical Islamism, jihadism, according to Dutch intelligence agency AIVD, remains the greatest security threat for Europe. That threat exists not only in the form of terrorist violence, but in the effect of online propaganda, Salafist-run schools, intimidation on social media, and ongoing efforts at polarizing European society as Salafist groups and charismatic activists urge fellow Muslims to reject Western democratic mores.
Gettin pretty darn diverse out there.
Hindu nationalists, white supremacists join forces
Preliminary findings indicate the two extremist groups on separate continents are hooking up on social media
During Ramadan, a man attacked a mosque in Markham, Ontario, Canada. He allegedly yelled slurs, tore up a Qu’ran, and attempted to run down worshippers in his vehicle.
Some people on Twitter have raised the idea that the attacker was connected to Hindu extremist groups; however, the investigation is still ongoing.
This is one of two hate-motivated incidents at mosques in Markham in a week. Although police said they don’t believe the incidents are connected, as a researcher of online extremism I can theoretically link these events to a global trend of Islamophobic violence.
That’s some link!
The UK’s Prevent labeled Shakespeare, Tennyson, Conrad, Chesterton, Tolkien, Chaucer, Kipling, and Milton “key texts” for “white nationalists.” Sir Kenneth Clark’s 1960s BBC TV documentary series “Civilization” was also named and shamed.
After much prevarication, in February the former Charity Commission supremo William Shawcross’s highly critical review of the government’s useless Prevent anti-terror strategy was finally released, unsurprisingly concluding that politically correct Prevent staff had applied a “double standard” towards perceived Islamist and Far-Right terrorist threats. Established in 2006 and now costing £49m per year, Prevent has apparently preferred to neglect Islamists in favour of the far easier target of conservative-minded individuals who, argued Shawcross, held views “well below the threshold of even non-violent extremism.”
Advised by alleged ‘anti-fascist’ groups whose definition of ‘fascist’ appeared to be ‘anyone who doesn’t think exactly like we do,’ Prevent drifted down the road of defining the majority of the population who voted Brexit, or consider immigration to be too high, as being at danger of becoming the next Unabomber.
German authorities arrested a 28-year-old Syrian national on Tuesday morning, one of two brothers suspected of planning to blow up civilian targets using a homemade explosives belt for “radical Islamist and jihadist” reasons, a statement said.
Public prosecutors in the northern port city of Hamburg carried out searches as part of a joint probe with police, arresting the man whom they believed bought raw materials for bomb-making off the internet over several weeks.
“We will look carefully at next steps, at what the French government chooses to do, at what French tribunals choose to do,” Justin Trudeau says.
Canada is weighing its next steps after a Paris court convicted a Lebanese-Canadian in absentia for the 1980 bombing of a synagogue in the French capital, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says.
“We will look carefully at next steps, at what the French government chooses to do, at what French tribunals choose to do,” Trudeau told a news conference. “[But] we will always be there to stand up for Canadians and their rights.”
The woke elites’ pity for radical Islamists is just nauseating now.
Imagine if one of the streaming services made a documentary about the hard life of Dylann Roof, the racist mass murderer who shot up a black church in Charleston in South Carolina in 2015. Imagine if they depicted Roof as a cool, charismatic kid – ‘a charmer’, they might say – who only went off the rails because of how badly he’d been let down by American society. Imagine if they implied that it was the myth of the American Dream, the unattainability of that dream to ‘white trash’ kids like Roof, that pushed poor Dylann over the edge. Worse, imagine if they hinted that it was Roof’s feeling that he was always playing second fiddle to other races – especially the black race – that pushed him towards hyper-violence.
Parole Board says measures needed to ‘protect society’ as Canadian terrorism convict is released
Citing Hersi’s “propensity for violence,” the Parole Board ordered the 37-year-old to undergo treatment “to address ingrained extremist ideologies” and “violent behaviour.”
He must also live at a halfway house upon his release, can own only one cell phone, and is not permitted to use a computer capable of accessing the internet, the Board wrote in its decision.
On 15 April, 2023, a First Information Report (FIR) was registered against two people working in Government girls’ higher secondary school, EB 66, Arifwala, Punjab.
According to the FIR , sub inspector police, Abid Hussain received a call from Kashif Nadeem, who informed him that two people working in the school had desecrated the Holy Quran.
When he reached the school there were already several people gathered around.
The size of the mirgrant population which Sweden is now trying to curtail, has passed the point of no return. Death knell for the EU?
“Rather than leading to meltdown, the migration crisis is leading to the fission of Europe,” wrote Stanford historian Niall Ferguson five years ago. “I am increasingly convinced that the migration crisis will be seen by future historians as the fatal ingredient that dissolved the EU”.
Five months and counting until France hosts the Rugby World Cup. For England supporters, the tournament kicks off at the stylish Stade Vélodrome in Marseille against Argentina on 9 September, one of six fixtures hosted by the Mediterranean city. Scotland take on South Africa the day after the England game, and two of the tournament’s quarter-finals will also be in Marseille, as they were in 2007 when France last hosted the World Cup.
That year was a peaceful one by Marseille’s standards, with only seven murders attributed to gangland wars. There was a new president, Nicolas Sarkozy, who had campaigned on a ‘tough on crime’ ticket, and that, plus the hosting of rugby’s showpiece event, might have had an effect.
TORONTO – B’nai Brith Canada is outraged by, and fed up with, the latest Al Quds Day hatefest in Toronto.
Last Saturday, participants chanted genocidal slogans and speakers praised terrorists, creating a hostile environment for Jews in the streets of downtown Toronto, Canada’s largest city.
This will not get better. The GTA is now host to the largest Muslim population in North America, exceeding Dearbornistan.
The city is lost. Bad immigration policy will do that to a country.

Over 50,000 Christians have been killed in Nigeria since the outbreak of the Boko Haram Islamist insurgency in 2009, a newly-released report published by a Nigerian non-governmental organization has revealed.
The report, titled “Martyred Christians in Nigeria”, has been published by the International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law (Intersociety), a Nigerian-based research and investigative rights group, which has been monitoring and investigating religious persecution and other forms of religious violence by State and non-State actors across Nigeria since 2010.
A traffic warden who stabbed his wife to death in a brutal attack after she refused to let him take another spouse is facing a life sentence today after he was convicted of murdering her.
Victim Ayesha Hasan, 32, had predicted her death at the hands of violent husband Asim Hasan, 33, and told friends: ‘If something happens to me please take care of my kids.’
Mrs Hasan, 32, was found in a pool of blood in their flat in Burrard Road, Canning Town, east London. Their two children, both aged under 10, were waiting to be taken to school when Hasan stabbed her 26 times and killed her
“Freedom Is Not Free,” and it takes vigilance to keep it free. Islam believes the opposite and must not be ignored.
The more I read about Islam, the more concerned I have become about its threat to democracies everywhere. I truly understand how it is that the people in Islamic nations cannot question Islam for fear of death, but I cannot for the life of me see how an educated person can fall victim to this falsehood. I thank Anwar Shaikh for my awakening to Islam being an imperialistic doctrine, as opposed to a religion.
“Freedom Is Not Free,” and it takes vigilance to keep it free. In the past, I spent many hours contacting American Congressmen to get our country off dependence on Middle Eastern oil. Fortunately, America is now a major exporter of oil and gas.
Two Canadian women and three teenage girls who were set to be repatriated from camps for family members of ISIS suspects in Syria were instead detained and mistreated by their Kurdish guards rather than being taken to their pick-up point, their lawyer says.
The women have been missing ever since the repatriation flight to Canada took off without them more than 10 days ago.
Edmonton lawyer Zachary Al-Khatib told CBC News that one of the women was able to make a short phone call to a relative Tuesday before the line dropped after 4 minutes.
