The family of Sarah Halimi — the French Jewish woman brutally murdered in her Paris apartment by an intruder who bellowed antisemitic slogans as he beat her relentlessly — lost their final court attempt to have her killer tried on Wednesday, as the country’s top appeals court upheld an earlier decision that he could not be held criminally responsible because his intake of marijuana on the night of the killing had rendered him temporarily insane.
Islamization of the West
Syrian refugee ISIS-supporter murdered gay man and injured another for committing ‘grave sin’ of holding hands
A Syrian refugee in Germany who stabbed one man to death and seriously injured his partner because he saw them holding hands has gone on trial today.
The man, identified only as 21-year-old Abdullah AHH due to German privacy laws, is charged with one count of murder for fatally stabbing tourist Thomas L, 55, to death on the streets of Dresden in October last year.
He is also facing one count of attempted murder for attacking Thomas’s partner Oliver L, 53, with a different knife but failing to kill him.
Why ISIS love to kill – Attempts to rationalise evil let its barbaric perpetrators off the hook
I used to think there was something demonically profound about Hannah Arendt’s diagnosis of Adolf Eichmann. He was “neither perverted nor sadistic… but terribly and terrifyingly normal”; he epitomised the “banality of evil”. Eichmann, in effect, was a bespectacled gimp who you wouldn’t look twice at in the street.
Yet he had played an active role in an industrial-sized enterprise of human cruelty and malevolence. There was something deeply unnerving about this: the disproportion between the smallness of this man and the Himalayan magnitude of the Holocaust. It didn’t seem to add up.
Germany: Ruling ‘Conservative’ Bloc Decides It’s A Good Thing To Cut Ties With Islamist Groups
Germany’s governing conservative bloc is planning to cut all government ties with groups suspected of supporting political Islamism, according to a report in Die Welt. Large Muslim umbrella organizations may be affected.
The parliamentary group of Germany’s ruling conservative bloc has called for an end to cooperation with groups suspected of supporting political Islamism, the newspaper Die Welt reported on Tuesday.
The bloc, made up of Angela Merkel’s Christian Democrats (CDU) and their Bavarian sister party, the Christian Social Union (CSU), proposed cutting all subsidies, support and cooperation with Islamist groups being monitored by Germany’s domestic intelligence agency: the Office for the Protection of the Constitution.
Pakistan: Deadly anti-French protests escalate
Members of the far-right Tehreek-e-Labiak Pakistan (TLP) clashed with police in Pakistan on Tuesday after the party’s leader was arrested for demanding the expulsion of the French ambassador, officials said.
At least one police officer and one protester died during the second day of clashes in Lahore, the country’s second-largest city, authorities told Reuters.
Activists blocked crucial transport routes overnight, demanding the release of TLP leader Saad Rizvi.
Rashida Tlaib calls for police to be abolished because force is ‘intentionally racist and cannot be reformed’ – calls Daunte Wright’s death ‘government-funded murder’
Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib has called for the abolishment of police following the fatal shooting of unarmed black man Daunte Wright.
The Michigan Rep. made the radical declaration on Twitter Monday – one day after Wright was shot dead at a traffic stop in Minnesota when a white cop reached for her gun instead of a Taser, which has been characterized as an accident.
‘It wasn’t an accident. Policing in our country is inherently & intentionally racist,’ Tlaib posted to Twitter.
France: Macron Gave Up Fighting Radicalism
November 1, 2020. Didier Lemaire, a high school teacher who works in Trappes, a small town west of Paris, published an open letter in the left-wing magazine Le Nouvel Observateur. He spoke of the murder of Samuel Paty, another teacher, savagely beheaded two weeks earlier by a Muslim extremist. He denounced the submission of the French authorities to religious intimidation and the impossibility of the French school system being able to transmit any real knowledge of history or to give students the intellectual means to think freely. He said that in just a few years, the situation in the city where he worked has deteriorated markedly Lemaire wrote…
Beware the Islamist Underbelly
Organizations with more than passing connections to terrorist groups remain largely free to operate in western nations.
Tucked away in the east of London, Store Street is just a short walk from the enormous Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, built for London’s triumphant hosting of the 2012 Games. The squat, unremarkable home in a cul-de-sac at number 32, however, lives in a rather more dangerous world. It is from here that, for many years, dozens of businesses and charities, controlled by British representatives of the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas, have been incorporated and managed.
Afghans Arrested in Sweden Suspected of Plotting Terror Attack
The Swedish security police Säpo arrested two Afghans, a man and a woman, during the Easter holiday on suspicion of plotting a terror attack in Stockholm county.
Säpo announced the arrests earlier this week, saying that they took place on the morning of Good Friday following a police operation in the Stockholm region.
Massive Iranian spy network in Europe revealed
A treasure trove of documents seized by German police and obtained by the JC reveals the extent to which Tehran’s spies have infiltrated Europe.
The documents were found in a hire car used as a mobile intelligence station by Assadollah Assadi, an Iranian spy chief who in February was sentenced to 20 years in prison for masterminding a failed bomb attack in Paris in 2018.
The material discloses a sophisticated network of regime agents that stretches across at least 22 cities all over the continent, along with plans for terror attacks using explosives, acid and toxic pathogenic substances.
Ex-Drexel student whose Facebook posts wished ‘death to all Americans’ will be deported for ties to Yemeni rebels
FBI agents arrested Gaafar Mohammed Ebrahim al-Wazer, a Yemeni national, 17 months ago, shortly after he attempted to schedule a White House visit and abruptly withdrew a request to renew his legal immigration status, citing U.S. involvement in a brutal civil war in his native country.
At the time, al-Wazer had already been under federal surveillance for years because of images and memes on his Facebook page, including one that appeared to depict him with an assault rifle at a military-style training camp in the Middle East under a caption that read: “He hates all Americans, death to all Americans, especially Jews.”
Anti-free speech Muslim group sues Facebook for not removing Jihad Watch and other sites opposing jihad violence
Anyone who has been paying attention can see what is coming. This site and the others targeted will disappear from Facebook and ultimately from the Internet altogether, whether as a result of this suit or some other. This suit itself has a very good chance of succeeding, as Muslim Advocates is extremely powerful and influential.
I am not in the habit of going public with the hits this blog has taken, though you know about my Twitter account being axed, not known is that a six year relationship with a web banner advertiser was terminated for “violation of community standards”. I thought it was me! But no, I was only one among multiple “conservative” accounts that received the same form letter.
It’s simply a matter of time for anyone who dares dissent in the age of cancel culture.
FATAH: Being allies in the fight against Islamist extremism
There is a saying in the Indian subcontinent about the thief, who instead of showing remorse, berates the judge. There are those within the Muslim community leadership throughout North America who fit this description, where instead of admitting wrongdoing — even if it’s unintentional — and changing course so that they can be allies in the fight against Islamist extremism, they play the victim card.
While the rest of the world was focused on anti-Asian racism and the George Floyd murder trial, it seems some Muslim activists in Canada got worried they were losing visibility as victims of big bad Canada.
Sweden’s migrant rape crisis
European liberals never ask uncomfortable questions about immigration
Was the 2015 European migration crisis followed by a surge in sex crime and sexual harassment? It’s a delicate question; one that many people would prefer not to be asked, much less answered.
But as a result of this collective reticence, discussion surrounding this issue has often been isolated to two extremes. On the one hand, it has been dominated by the populist Right. In response to the Cologne sexual assaults of New Year’s Eve 2015-16, for example, German supporters of Alternative für Deutschland rioted and called for mass deportations. Meanwhile, at the other end of the spectrum, the response of many European liberals and progressives has been that of the three wise monkeys: “See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil.”
UK: Over 130 imams and Islamic scholars urge Johnson to condemn showing of ‘blasphemous’ cartoons in school
This is absurd beyond belief, yet indicative of the level of anti-British ideology that circulates among these Muslim leaders in Britain. It is also alarming that these leaders are brazen enough to operate within the UK as if they were in Sharia-adherent Pakistan, with its infamous blasphemy laws.
