“My Florida Man stories are way more fun than yours,” PJ’s resident expert on all things Florida Man, Stephen Green, said to me, and he was right. But this one does have a bit of that quintessential Florida man appeal: a Florida man has offended the gods of multiculturalism and has been given an odd sentence designed to appease those outraged deities. But if he completes his assignment properly, he won’t end up appeasing them at all. If that isn’t a Florida Man situation, what is?
B’nai Brith Canada on Monday wrote to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), the revenue service of the federal government of Canada, demanding that it examine the charitable status of mosques that facilitated the recent Al-Quds Day hate-fest in downtown Toronto.
In a statement, B’nai Brith said that on Saturday, protesters who were mostly bused in from pick-up locations at mosques near Toronto, gathered downtown to call for the elimination of Israel.
As they marched around Nathan Philips Square, they chanted “Long live the intifada!”. In addition, protesters chanted, “We heed your call, oh Nasrallah!” in reference to Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah, a designated terrorist entity in Canada.
Thanks to the kool-aid drinkers Canada is just too multicultural to revoke a mosque’s charitable status.
Seemingly unending waves of violence plaguing Muslim communities worldwide is a wakeup call to stand firm against incitement, as well as against those who make excuses for the murderous attackers
I believe most residents of the predominantly Bedouin city of Rahat, as well the residents of the predominantly Arab city of Umm Al-Fahm, when they say they condemn and abhor the criminal elements plaguing their community.
I also believe the residents of the city of Malmo in Sweden, the majority of whom are Muslims, as well as the residents of northern Nigeria – again, mostly Muslims – who are often victims of attacks the Boko Haram terror group.
The four members – who all grew up in west London – volunteered to fight for the Islamic State group in Syria and ended up guarding Western hostages.
US authorities say the group beheaded 27 hostages. Videos of the murders were sent around the world, causing outrage.
Hostages also recall the group torturing with electric shocks, waterboarding and mock executions.
Canada’s dirty secret is finally out. For more than two years, the Government of Canada has allowed a senior member of an antisemitic terror group to roam freely, contrary to Canadian law.
While President Biden signed an executive order last fall to declassify 9/11 evidence, the families of some 9/11 victims say they had to go through the British courts to get records and videos seized two decades ago from an alleged Saudi government operative that have never been public until now.
“Why did it take 20 years for this information to see the light of day?” Brett Eagleson told CBS News senior investigative correspondent Catherine Herridge.
He is leading a group of families fighting for the documents. He was 15 years old when his father, Bruce, was killed in the World Trade Center South Tower, and 20 years later, he wants his children to know what he calls “the secret of 9/11” and who was behind the plot to kill their grandfather.
Openly gay Belgian MP Gilles Verstraeten has suggested that he is fearful of holding hands with another man in the no-go Brussels suburb of Molenbeek, claiming integration of migrants has been poorly managed.
A court case is under way over whether energy companies can drill for oil and gas in the Arctic.
Environmental activists are taking Norway’s government to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) because it is allowing exploration. It’s being seen as a test case for how much of the area’s natural resources can be exploited.
Israelis say he’s a leader of a terrorist group who is running a Canadian charity. Supporters say he is a victim of Israeli intimidation
I’d call him a shining example of Justin Trudeau’s preferred immigrant.
The government does not record the number of people prosecuted for terror offences after returning to the UK from Syria, an official report says.
The data is held neither “officially or unofficially”, an annual review by the independent reviewer of terrorism legislation, Jonathan Hall QC, says.
Figures previously provided to Parliament by ministers later had to be clarified.
Mr Hall’s report instead relies on BBC News research on the subject.
It is known that hundreds of people have returned to the UK after joining terrorist groups in Syria but the cumulative figure given in public is ambiguous.
Last year, the director general of MI5 said “over 950 UK-linked extremists” had travelled to Syria.
I do not trust the Trudeau government to be honest on this matter.
The daughter of a British man killed by an ISIS terrorist who was part of the cell known as The Beatles told him to ‘go to hell’ after he was sentenced to life in federal prison Friday.
Bethany Haines walked up to Alexanda Kotey in the Alexandria, Virginia, court and pointed her finger as she said: ‘Why don’t you go rot in hell.’
Kotey did not react and walked out of the room where he and El Shafee Elsheikh, another member of The Beatles, had been forced to listen to agonizing victim impact statements.
Calgary man admits to terrorism charges related to Islamic State
CALGARY — A Calgary man has pleaded guilty to terrorism-related activities with the militant group Islamic State.
RCMP arrested Hussein Borhot in July 2020 after a seven-year investigation.
He was charged with three counts of participating in terrorism group activity as well as with commission of an offence for a terrorist group.
Canada’s spies could be doing a better job of investigating extremism in the prison system, says an internal report.
The document, obtained through an access to information request, emerged from a behind-the-scenes review of how the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) and the RCMP share information.
“One of the concerns we have is the lack of coverage over persons convicted of terrorism offences once they are in jail,” says the report. It was written by two national security lawyers tasked by the RCMP and CSIS with making recommendations to deal with information-sharing bottlenecks in the national security intelligence sphere.
By announcing the raft of measures to tackle Islamist radicalisation in the prison system, the UK government is stepping up its focus on bread-and-butter matters of governance and security.
In a new drive to tackle extremism in British prisons, Justice Secretary and deputy prime minister Dominic Raab has declared that the government plans to upscale the separation of particularly dangerous and influential terrorists into specialist units in order to ‘thwart the spread of their poisonous ideology’.
For votes, just to give one example, communities obtain the necessary permits to open mega mosques. France flubbed its last chance.
“Is the Muslim vote decisive?”, the Algerian writer Kamel Daoud asked himsel in the French weekly Le Point. Yes, judging by Macron’s victory (85 per cent of Muslims voted for him) and seeing what had happened the week before the second round vote.
Speaking with The New York Times, Éric Coquerel, an MP from Mélenchon’s party who won 69 percent of the Islamic vote in the first round, said Muslim voters would benefit Macron. For Julien Talpin, sociologist at the National Center for Scientific Research, the mobilization of Muslims is “something completely new”.
