“Islamophobia”

Hamas apologism has taken Australia by storm

Since the 7 October pogrom in Israel, it has become increasingly clear that hostility towards Israel is no longer confined to its Islamist enemies. It is increasingly prevalent in Western democracies, too.

This has certainly been true in Australia. Indeed, just days after Hamas committed atrocities in southern Israel, mobs stood on the steps of the Sydney Opera House, chanting ‘Gas the Jews!’. It set the tone for subsequent pro-Palestine protests, each one serenaded by the hateful chant, ‘From the river to the sea’. Israel has rarely been more threatened, and it has certainly never been so alone.

Hamas controls the streets of Europe

When I defined Belgium as “Europe’s first Muslim state” a year ago, it was not hyperbole.

Everything is going just great.

Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh will visit Recep Tayip Erdogan in Turkey, who wants to be sultan but is also head of the second largest NATO army.

Speaking of NATO, which has its headquarters in Brussels…

Muslims Among Us – ‘Good People, Good Times’

In a remote corner on a relatively isolated WAWA parking lot not far from my Philly home, I spotted a platinum-haired guy about 25 years old kneeling face-to-the-ground on a prayer mat. This non-Middle Eastern, Caucasian prayer penitent could have been any one of the local Catholic boys you sometimes see playing street hockey. I had to look twice: what is his story? How had he converted to Islam – or had he? And what do his poor parents think about that?

Vote fails to overturn Hamas rag ban in Ontario legislature

Vote fails to overturn kaffiyeh ban in Ontario legislature

A ban on Palestinian kaffiyehs in the Ontario legislature will remain in place after a motion to overrule Speaker Ted Arnott’s edict failed to get unanimous consent from MPPs.

Arnott’s prohibition on the scarves, which he contended flout the rules against clothing that makes “an overt political statement,” will continue for MPPs, staff and guests throughout the legislative precinct.

But the Speaker, who oversees the legislature, emphasized nothing is written in stone and MPPs are free to bring forward another motion.

New footage published of Hamas kidnapping of Yarden Bibas

New footage showing the moments Yarden Bibas, the husband of Shiri Bibas and the father of Kfir and Ariel, was kidnapped by Hamas terrorists on October 7 was published by N12 on Wednesday evening.

Bibas can be seen in the footage with blood covering his face as his captors attempt to go through a rioting crowd surrounding the motorcycle he’s being held on. His captors yelled at the people surrounding the vehicle and even waved a pistol in the air.

Vote Whoring: Doug Ford calls on Ontario Speaker to reverse Queen’s Park keffiyeh ban and be inclusive of Hamas

Doug Ford

Ontario Premier Doug Ford is calling on Speaker Ted Arnott to reverse a ban on keffiyehs at Queen’s Park, describing the move as “needlessly” divisive.

“The decision to ban the keffiyeh was made by the speaker and the speaker alone. I do not support his decision as it needlessly divides the people of our province,” Ford said in a statement issued Wednesday evening.

Antisemitism in Dearborn, Past and Present

My hometown is in the news every day. I hear it on the radio, see it on television and read about it in print. It’s never good. Dearborn, Mich., is now known as the place where protesters chant “Death to Israel, Death to America.” It’s the city that President Biden is reportedly trying to placate ahead of the election as he cobbles together a Mideast policy that doesn’t undermine our Israeli ally.

It wasn’t always like this. When I was growing up between the 1950s and 1970s, Dearborn was known for Ford Motor Co., then the second biggest carmaker in the world, whose headquarters was four miles away from my family’s house. Its iconic brand of vehicles synonymous with American car culture—the muscular Mustang, the stylish Thunderbird, the rugged F-150 truck—defined our radiant town.

Boston Marathon bomber fighting to keep $4,000 prison canteen account

The man convicted and sentenced to death for carrying out the Boston Marathon bombing in 2013 is fighting to keep federal prosecutors from seizing the funds he has accumulated in his prison canteen account.

The Boston Herald reported an attorney for Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 30, filed an appeal seeking to stop the feds in Boston from taking the $4,200-plus in Tsarnaev’s account, arguing the death row inmate “is neither hoarding funds nor spending profligately.”

York University’s Palestinian Settler Colonial Project Says Israel’s Zionist Settler Colonial Project Should Be Labeled Racist

York University faculty group recommends defining support of Israel as ‘racism’

A York University faculty committee has recommended that the school henceforth define any acknowledgement of Israel’s existence as evidence of “anti-Palestinian racism.”

According to an April 5 “recommendations report” leaked to National Post, an official committee within York’s Department of Politics has proposed that any defence of Israel be viewed as “anti-Palestinian, Islamophobic, and anti-Arab.”

The BCF Settler Colonial Project claims rights to its ancestral lands on which York U is parked.

Barbara Kay: Ottawa Should Support Canadian Muslim Groups That Condemn Hamas, Instead of Funding Anti-Semitic Ones

… The study, titled “Six months after October 7th: An analysis of terror attack responses by Canada’s religious groups,” had its origins in author Rahim Mohamed’s shock at the “wave of public displays of religious intolerance—mostly targeting Jewish Canadians—that would have been unthinkable just days earlier.”

A senior fellow at the Aristotle Foundation and a National Post columnist, Mohamed undertook a careful analysis of post-Oct. 7 statements, both formal and informal, by Canada’s leading Muslim organizations. From his findings, he concluded that interfaith relations in Canada are arguably “even worse than the headlines would suggest; indicating that it is not just a small, vocal minority who’s turned against Canada’s Jewish community, but in fact much of the Muslim community’s leadership.”

No offense but the good guys are not exactly legion and Justin funds votes.

Vote Whoring: Trudeau government to begin exploring ‘halal mortgages’

The federal government says it plans to explore new measures to expand access to “alternative financing products, like halal mortgages.”

According to the federal budget, the Liberal government has already begun consultations with financial services providers and diverse communities “to understand how federal policies can better support the needs of all Canadians seeking to become homeowners.”

The Islamic faith considers the charging of interest to be a form of usury, and considers gains made through interest to be unjust.
