Shamima Begum cannot go back to court to get her British citizenship back, a minister has insisted after the ISIS bride gave an interview denying carrying out atrocities.
ISIS-bride Begum was stripped of her citizenship in 2019 by Sajid Javid and in February this year the Supreme Court ruled on national security grounds that she cannot return to Britain to pursue an appeal against the decision.
However, she announced yesterday she is willing to face trial in Britain for the chance to come back.
The term ‘Islamophobia’ is too often used to shield radical Islamists from criticism.
November is ‘Islamophobia Awareness Month’. According to the organisers, the aim of this month is ‘to deconstruct and challenge the stereotypes about Islam and Muslims’. This all sounds very progressive. If its purpose was simply to protect Muslims from bigotry, hate and prejudice, then, as a Muslim, I would certainly agree with it. But there is a much darker side to this initiative.
Islamophobia Awareness Month, as its name suggests, is based on the flawed idea of ‘Islamophobia’. As a concept, ‘Islamophobia’ conflates Islam and Muslims. But the former is a religion whereas the latter are the people who believe in it. And while bigoted ideas and stereotypes about Muslims should be challenged, Islam is a belief system and it therefore cannot be ‘abused’ or ‘harassed’ in the same way as Muslims can be.
The case of Emad Jamil Al Swealmeen, 32, highlights the danger of Muslims fraudulently converting to Christianity.
Swealmeen came to public attention on Nov. 14, when he (probably inadvertently) detonated an improvised explosive device outside Liverpool Women’s Hospital at 10:59a.m. as he rode in a taxi, just seconds before the national two minutes’ silence for Remembrance Sunday at 11a.m., killing himself and wounding the taxi driver. The police believe he was an Islamist and a jihadi.
When illusions create a recipe for disaster.
Since 2017, approximately 800,000 people in Mozambique have been displaced by advancing Islamic jihadists. Not to worry, though. Mozambique is a long way away, and besides they have a different culture. They don’t have a 200-year-old tradition of freedom of religion and free speech as does the U.S.
Over the past twelve years, 43,000 Nigerian Christians have been killed by Islamic terrorists. No cause for alarm, however. Nigeria, is a long way away, and they don’t have the long tradition that the U.S. has of the rule of law and the protection of civil rights.
Political correctness is warping our response to this threat.
The bomb blast outside Liverpool Women’s Hospital last weekend has thrust the terror threat in Britain today back into the spotlight.
The suspect who died in the explosion – 32-year-old Emad al-Swealmeen – had first failed in his application for asylum in 2014. During his stay in the UK, he was sectioned under the Mental Health Act for six months over a knife-related incident. Having supposedly converted from Islam to Christianity in 2017, his case has shed light on previous warnings made by senior Church of England clerics that some Muslim asylum seekers were trying to become Christian converts in order to avoid deportation from the UK to Muslim-majority countries where they could be charged with apostasy.
Why is the first step always to genuflect before the Muslim community?
Our responses to terrorist incidents have a ritual quality — they serve what sociologists call a “sense-making” purpose.
One ritualised way of responding to an atrocity is to blame and punish the terrorist’s family and the wider community to which he belongs. We wisely try to avoid this — as well as being counter to our belief in individual responsibility, punitive revenge is usually counterproductive.
Nadia Murad at the age of 14 was kidnapped by ISIS, the vicious terrorist mob, and was taken into sex slavery
Nadia Murad at the age of 14 was kidnapped by ISIS, the vicious terrorist mob, and was taken into sex slavery. From that pit of hell, she incredibly found the personal resources to escape, champion the cause of brutalized young women everywhere, and ascend to the heights of the world’s high honour, the Nobel Prize. This information has been a click away on any laptop for three years. Yet the TDSB was intent on keeping students in its jurisdiction from exposure to such a true heroine. The equity department was concerned she would stoke Islamophobia!
In a sane world the TDSB would be scrapped and rebuilt after the loons had been cleared out.
July 2021 was the tenth anniversary of my monthly series, “Muslim Persecution of Christians” (published by the Gatestone Institute). Back in July 2011, I began to collate and summarize the accounts of persecution that surfaced every month in one report — so that there is a record, so that when the time comes, the usual excuse, “we never knew,” won’t stand.
Under the Prevent programme, local authority staff and other professionals such as doctors, teachers and social workers have a duty to flag concerns about an individual being radicalised or drawn into a terrorism.
Ian Acheson, a former prison governor and senior adviser at the Counter Extremism Project, today suggested research was needed about what was driving referrals and why they were ‘out of kilter’.
He told MailOnline: ‘Nobody can dispute these statistics as a matter of fact. Nor is it sensible to ignore extreme right wing ideology as a driver of violent extremism.
‘But we should also be asking about what is driving these referrals and why they are so out of kilter with the clear and present danger of Islamist extremism which in terms of lethality and potential dwarfs extreme right wing ones.’
Like so many others before and after her, Sakia Mojadiddi arrived in Canada 32 years ago dogged by a tragic past.
The Church of England has come under scrutiny in the wake of the Liverpool terror attack after it has emerged that the bomber had converted from Islam to Christianity in an apparent attempt to help him claim asylum in the UK.
On Tuesday, it was revealed that Emad Al Swealmeen, who died in a blast outside Liverpool Women’s Hospital, was a failed asylum seeker who converted to Christianity at the Liverpool Cathedral.
“Conversions” have long been a ruse.
LONDON (AP) — The suspect who was killed in a Liverpool taxi explosion spent at least six months buying components for a bomb and appears to have acted alone, British police said Wednesday.
Emad Al Swealmeen, 32, died when a blast ripped through the cab in which he was a passenger as it pulled up outside Liverpool Women’s Hospital on Sunday morning. The taxi driver was injured.
Russ Jackson, the head of counterterrorism policing for northwest England, said Al Swealmeen had rented a property in the city in April and been making “relevant purchases” for a device at least since then.
The Liverpool suicide attacker built a ‘Mother of Satan’ ball bearing bomb used by ISIS extremists to ’cause maximum carnage’ and may have been driven to take revenge after his asylum bids kept being turned down, it was claimed today.
Enzo Almeni, 32, a Muslim who converted to Christianity four years ago, was killed after the homemade device exploded as his taxi pulled up at Liverpool Women’s Hospital just before before the 11am minute’s silence on Remembrance Sunday.
His bomb was made using homemade TATP explosives. TATP is unstable and known as a ‘Mother of Satan’ because it is liable to blow up accidentally. It was used by Islamist terrorist in the Paris suicide attacks of 2015, the Manchester Arena bombing in 2017 and the failed Parsons Green Underground station.
“… The couple described their ‘shock’ that Almeni – a ‘very quiet fellow’ – would try to commit an act of terror, telling ITV News they lived ‘cheek by jowl’ when he stayed with them at their home and that there was ‘never any suggestion of anything amiss’.
A tearful Mrs Hitchcott told the broadcaster: ‘What a waste of a life. But the one thing I suppose to be thankful for is that he did not kill anyone else.’
I suppose???? Fool saints – a danger to everyone.
An interview with the author of a new book about Islam’s insidious infiltration of the West.
“There is an industry at work today, taking advantage of our liberty, infiltrating and influencing Western values and democracy,” writes Canadian author and blogger Diane Bederman in her brand new book The Islamophobia Industry: The Insidious Infiltration of Islam into the West. As the memory of the 9/11 attacks on American soil a generation ago recedes for many, this courageous short new work serves as an essential wakeup call to a Western world that, in the name of tolerance and inclusion, is allowing our rights and freedoms to be eroded as the value system of Islam grows in influence and power.
