Police believe a Moroccan asylum seeker charged with murdering a pensioner in Hartlepool was motivated by terrorism, a court has heard.
Ahmed Ali Alid, 44, is accused of stabbing to death Terence Carney, 70, in the early hours of Sunday morning and also attempting to murder fellow asylum seeker, Javed Nouri, at the hostel where he was living.
As Canadian cities continue to be roiled by mass rallies calling for the destruction of Israel , it has yielded nothing but prolonged silence from the one body that has been cited by the Trudeau government as a leading authority on “hate.”
The Canadian Anti-Hate Network (CAHN) — a perennial recipient of federal “anti-racism” monies — has not issued a single statement or social media post in the wake of the Oct. 7 attacks against Israel, even when those attacks sparked celebratory rallies across Canada’s major cities.
By contrast, the group issued five statements over five weeks regarding the 1 Million March 4 Children, a protest that called for the removal of “gender identity” instruction from school curricula.
William Shawcross’s review of Prevent — the prevention strand of the Government counter-terrorism strategy — was considered highly controversial when it was published earlier this year. This was not least due to its insistence that Islamist terror remains the most significant threat to Britain, and that neither resources nor attention were being allocated proportionately.
The service in Arras cathedral for 57-year-old Dominique Bernard was broadcast on a large screen in the city’s Heroes’ Square, where hundreds watched in the rain.
Bernard, married to another teacher and father of three adult children, was posthumously awarded the Legion of Honour by Macron.
The award is France’s highest civilian decoration.
Although 999 of every 1,000 people on Earth live outside the theatre of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, it has long had a hold on the public imagination stronger than that of many larger and deadlier conflicts.
Much of the world barely noticed the war that tore Ethiopia apart between 2020 and 2022, causing innumerable atrocities and hundreds of thousands of deaths. It featured rampages of murder and rape against civilians even deadlier than those Hamas perpetrated on October 7. It saw the bombing of cities and the deliberate starving of civilians.
Sweden has demanded tougher EU border controls after a failed asylum seeker suspected of terrorist sympathies shot dead two Swedish football fans in Brussels.
Abdesalem Lassoued, 45, a Tunisian man, was shot and killed outside a café in the Schaerbeek district of the Belgian capital yesterday morning as local children travelled to school.
OTTAWA — Some Liberal MPs are now suggesting they want an end to the hostilities between Israel and Hamas, with at least three calling for a ceasefire between the Jewish state and Hamas and another making an emotional plea to stop what he called the “butchery” in the Gaza Strip.
On Monday evening a service of remembrance was held in Arras cathedral in northern France. The congregation was there to pay its respects to Dominique Bernard, the teacher who was murdered by an Islamist at his school last Friday, not far from the cathedral. The service was led by Bishop Olivier Leborgne. ‘We don’t have all the answers, but we believe that peace is our future,’ he told the congregation. As worshippers lit candles, the choir sang ‘Jesus, the Christ, the inner light, don’t let the darkness speak to me’.
OTTAWA—Some Muslim Liberal MPs say they’re afraid for their families and communities as the Israel-Hamas war has fuelled a rise in Islamophobia and racism over the last week.
Three MPs who spoke with the Star on Tuesday described feeling intense fear as they’ve seen disturbing reports of Islamophobia, including against their own family members, just as Jewish MPs have spoken out against an uptick in antisemitic incidents since the war started.
Muslims fear backlash from tomorrow’s planned atrocities.
For months now, authorities charged with keeping Europe safe from Islamist extremist violence have been sounding the alarm. In May, Dutch security services warned that the terrorist threat from Islamic State to Europe had increased. The same month, the French interior minister said the risk of Islamist terrorism was rising again and that his own country was being targeted, as well as its neighbours.
In recent days, these pessimistic forecasts appear to have been vindicated. France is deploying 7,000 extra troops on to its streets after a teacher was fatally stabbed on Friday in an attack that Emmanuel Macron condemned as “barbaric Islamic terrorism”. The suspected attacker swore an oath of allegiance to IS in an audio recording on his phone shortly before the killing, prosecutors have said.
The Conservatives say it’s “unacceptable” that the federal government allowed a Canadian woman with ties to ISIS to re-enter the country.
CBC News reported Tuesday new details about the identity of a 33-year-old woman the government repatriated with her children in April from a detention camp in northeastern Syria.
Dure Ahmed, who is now living in the Toronto area under conditions, was married to El Shafee Elsheikh. He’s a high-profile ISIS militant who was part of a cell known as “the Beatles” because of their British accents.
Elsheikh is the highest ranking ISIS member to be tried in the U.S. He’s serving multiple life sentences in a supermax prison for his role in the deaths of eight American, British and Japanese hostages.
As soon as the terrible news of the murder of teacher Dominique Bernard in front of his pupils by a twenty-year-old man of Chechen origin, Mohammed Mogushkov, came to light, revelations followed one after another about the profile of the murderer and his background. Many whistleblowers and journalists have established with certainty that the man should never have crossed the teacher’s path and that the complicity of the state apparatus and migrant defence associations played a full part in the path that led him to commit his crime.
Hamas fighters booby-trapped the body of a Canadian-Israeli mother after murdering her, layering her in bombs to kill anyone who came near her corpse, according to traumatized neighbors.
Adi Vital-Kaploun was killed in front of her two young sons on October 7 when the militants stormed Kibbutz Holit. After shooting her dead, neighbors say the fighters covered her body in bombs beneath one of her son’s beds.
Hamas supporters are attempting to make Canada as unsafe for Jews as possible. It is sickening, appalling and repulsive — and it repudiates everything for which liberal democracy stands.
It is not as if the Hamas terrorists are taking the next flight into Toronto. No, the Canadian-designated terrorist group that has been attacking Israel since Oct. 7 unfortunately has an outrageous number of supporters in this country.
B’nai Brith has been keeping an honest eye on the the islamists for years but despite their efforts and those of others (Self congratulatory pat on back) our dumbstruck pundits and politicians are spewing the “Gee I had no idea Hamas had such widespread support here in Canada” line.
Well how did Canada develop its home grown Hamas support?
Import masses of Murder Cultists who despise everything “for which liberal democracy stands”
Embolden them by repeatedly turning a blind eye to their blatant hateful excesses literally for years upon years.
Make no demands that they assimilate and call it “multiculturalism.”
Teach them to despise racist, genocidal Canada’s heritage and values in schools and universities just like the government does.
Protect the cultists by granting them government designated ‘entitled victimhood’ status including their own Hamasophobia Tzarina.
Have an ideologically compatible and financially reliant press peddle the government’s lies and downplay the Murder Cult’s true contributions to our mosaic of diversity.
Criminalize your citizens by demonizing anyone who dares criticize the cultists and the government’s suicidal immigration policies.
In short Hamas support is made in Canada aided and abetted by our political, academic and chattering classes.
