Yesterday, without ever having directed or plotted — much less committed — an act of violence, Anjem Choudary was jailed for a minimum of 28 years for terrorism offences. He was found guilty of continuing to direct the proscribed organisation, al-Muhajiroun (ALM).
A father and son accused of planning a terrorist attack in Toronto had filmed a video of themselves holding weapons in front of the ISIS flag, sources told Global News.
The video of Ahmed Fouad Mostafa Eldidi, 62, and Mostafa Eldidi, 26, showed them with an axe and machete, according to three sources.
Two of the six terrorism charges filed against the pair accuse them of possessing those same items for the benefit of ISIS.
The arrest of a father and son accused of planning a mass casualty attack in Toronto on behalf of ISIS suggests the enduring appeal of the terrorist group.
Five years after it was defeated in Syria, where it committed scores of atrocities, the so-called Islamic State continues to inspire violence far from the Middle East.
The alleged plot disrupted by this week’s arrests involved an axe and machete, which were seized by police, according to court records obtained by Global News.
The sentencing of Calgary terrorism sympathizer Zakarya Rida Hussein was adjourned again Tuesday, this time so his lawyer can deal with a new “wrinkle” in the case.
Defence counsel Alain Hepner asked Justice Harry Van Harten to delay sentencing submissions to September, so he can deal with the latest issue with his client and the offender’s family.
The new lawyer for the family at the centre of the Manchester Airport brawl compared Israel and the US with the 9/11 hijackers in controversial comments he made more than a decade ago.
Aamer Anwar is representing brothers Fahir Amaaz and Muhammad Amaad, who were involved in an altercation with armed police officers in Terminal 2 of the airport on Tuesday.
For everyone who hounded that police officer at Manchester Airport, this is what they faced just before that cleverly edited video was released
Context is everything.
Now reinstate him.

The men are said to have traveled to Germany via Ukraine, exploiting the unrest triggered by the 2022 Russian invasion. They are accused of planning attacks in Germany and Western Europe.
Islamist preacher Anjem Choudary has been jailed for life with a minimum term of 28 years after being found guilty of running a banned terrorist organisation.
Choudary, 57, who counter-terror police say has had a “radicalising impact” on terrorists, was convicted last week of taking a “caretaker role” in directing Al-Muhajiroun (ALM) while its founder was in jail.
He was also found guilty of encouraging support for the group through online lectures to the Islamic Thinkers Society, which prosecutors said was another name for ALM.
Upperdate: Teenager, 17, arrested over Southport stabbings was an ‘introvert who never went out’ and lived with his ‘hard working father and stay at home mother’ who had moved to the UK from Rwanda

Two hero dance class teachers saved up to 16 innocent children from being attacked by a masked killer who ambushed a Taylor Swift-themed workshop in Southport yesterday, MailOnline can reveal.
Brave Leanne Lucas, 35, who organised the yoga and bracelet making class is among the victims fighting for her life in hospital after the ‘ferocious attack’ that left two children dead.
The primary school supply teacher – who now teaches children’s yoga workshops – suffered stab injuries after a man entered the venue through the unlocked door, which was left open amid the scorching heat, and started attacking children.
Why are you making communities up and down the country take their “fair share” of illegal migrants, when they bring this horror to our doorstep? You owe the people an explanation. Or this blood will be on your hands. #southportattack pic.twitter.com/g0EmKhNdhR

The story of the Manchester Airport incident has taken some dramatic twists and turns.
Last week, video footage emerged of a Greater Manchester Police (GMP) officer kicking a man in the head. The details of what exactly sparked the altercation are still murky. It seems like two brothers – Fahir and Amaad Amas – were meeting their mother at the airport. Prior to landing, an argument broke out between her and a male passenger on the plane. In the terminal, things escalated and a fight started between the passenger and the brothers. Police officers then quickly became involved.
Germany is in “confidential” negotiations with the Taliban and the Assad regime over the deportation of “violent” migrants.
Nancy Faeser, the government’s interior minister, told Bild, the German tabloid: “We are negotiating confidentially with various states to make deportations to Afghanistan and Syria possible again.
“We particularly want to consistently deport violent Islamist perpetrators,” she added.
Merseyside Police have confirmed that a teenager has been arrested following a stabbing incident in Southport.
Officers were called to a property on Hart Street around 11:50 AM on Monday to reports of multiple people being attacked, including children and adults. At least one fatality has been reported.
A 17-year-old Ali Al-Shakati from Banks has been arrested in connection with the Southport stabbings and is currently in police custody.
The suspect in the Southport stabbings, Ali-Al-Shakati, was on the MI6 watch list and known to Liverpool mental health services. He was an asylum seeker who arrived in the UK by boat last year.
Many thanks to Clink9 and Canucklehead and everyone who contributed to correcting my earlier post.
The crime rate of North Africans is soaring higher in Germany, with Moroccans and Tunisians now responsible for one murder every six days on average. However, other serious crimes, including assault, stabbings, and rape, are exploding as well, with the German left-liberal government overseeing an incredible increase in crime while refusing to deport offenders.

Brawl between stick-wielding walkers erupts at Peak District beauty spot
Police were called to a popular beauty spot in the Peak District after a fight broke out between several people wielding large sticks.
Video footage of the incident shows onlookers watching as several men attack each other at the stepping stones in Dovedale National Nature Reserve on Saturday afternoon.
The National Trust said the incident occurred as two groups of walkers tried to cross in opposite directions, despite the fact the stepping stones are currently closed.
There was much hand-wringing from @BBCCountryfile that ethnic minorities felt afraid to go to the countryside.

A firebrand Muslim cleric eyed up an island on the border of the United States and Canada to purchase and turn into an Islamic state.
In a video to his followers, Sheikh Yasser al-Habib, 45, an extremist scholar who already runs military-style training camps, revealed he is in advanced talks to buy an island off the west coast of Scotland.
His group plans to build its own school, hospital and mosque on the island, where it intends to practice sharia law.
