The Taliban’s defense minister, Maulvi Mohammad Yaqoob Mujahid, recently responded to news that the U.S. plans to station 2,000 troops at the U.S. Embassy in Kabul by presenting what he considered to be a tit-for-tat: according to the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), the austere diplomat tweeted: “If America wants 2,000 English [i.e., American] troops at its embassy in Afghanistan, we also want 2,000 Fidayeen Mujahideen [i.e., suicide bombers] from the Fateh Force at the embassy of Afghanistan in America.” Two-thousand suicide bombers in Washington! It’ll almost be like Congress, but bigger.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — Attorneys for a woman who left her Alabama home to join the Islamic State terror group plan to continue fighting for her and her young son even though the Supreme Court declined to consider her lawsuit seeking to re-enter the United States, one of the lawyers said Wednesday.
Hoda Muthana and her 4-year-old child, the son of a man she met while with IS, have been living in a Syrian refugee camp for nearly the entire life of the child, and it’s unclear what steps might come next to argue for their admittance into the United States, said Christina Jump, who represents the woman’s family.

Charitable foundations with ties to Jewish federations and Jewish families feature prominently in a new report about the flow of tax-deductible donations to organizations that a leading Muslim civil rights lobby has identified as “anti-Muslim groups.”
Titled “Islamophobia in the Mainstream,” the report was published Tuesday by CAIR, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, a civil rights group and political lobby that is harshly critical of Israel.
It follows a different report from 2019 that identified some 1,100 groups CAIR identified as funding anti-Muslim activity. In the new report, CAIR used publicly available IRS data to analyze the top 50 charitable foundations in the 2019 report.

Cambridge University has scrapped its prison rehabilitation programme after a convicted terrorist went on a bloody rampage in London.
Freed terrorist Usman Khan, 28, convinced staff at the Learning Together programme he was a reformed character before killing two graduates.
Khan, wearing a fake suicide vest with kitchen knives strapped to his hands, stabbed rehab worker Jack Merritt, 25, and volunteer Saskia Jones, 23, at an event at Fishmonger’s Hall to mark the scheme’s fifth anniversary. He then ran on to London Bridge where he was shot dead by police on November 29, 2019.

A court in Saudi Arabia has for the first time ordered that a man convicted of sexual harassment be named and shamed in public, local media report.
Yasser al-Arawi was found guilty by the Criminal Court in Medina of harassing a woman using obscene remarks.
He was sentenced to eight months in prison and fined $1,330 (£980).
The anti-harassment law was amended a year ago to allow for offenders’ names and sentences to be published in local newspapers at their own expense.

Police said the 18 suspects are aged between 15 and 21 and are foreign or Italian of north African origin.
Italian police have raided the homes of 15 young men and three boys who are suspected of involvement in a series of sexual assaults during New Year’s Eve celebrations in Milan.
Nine women have so far reported that they were assaulted during celebrations in front of Milan’s Cathedral on Piazza del Duomo.
The case has prompted comparisons with the mass sexual attacks and muggings that took place in the German city of Cologne on New Year’s Eve in 2015-16.

Pipes: Ex-Muslims are my topic today. Had you mentioned them to me just a few years ago, I would have said they have no significance beyond some individuals, mostly cowering in secret, not letting the world know their about their hostility to Islam. But I’ve recently concluded that they represent a significant phenomenon, especially as they challenge Islam in an unprecedented way, leaving Muslims with few effective defenses.
Why are esteemed Jewish elders bending the knee to cancel culture and the #IslamophobiaIndustry?

Crook teacher banned over terrorist funding
… It told the Teaching Regulation Authority that some of the payments were made to people who had been investigated or arrested for suspected terrorism related offences.
The misconduct panel report said Ms Sebbagh believed violent jihad was the correct interpretation of Islamic teaching but lied about her beliefs and actions.
She claimed not to know ISIS was a terrorist organisation and not to know a video she sent to one person promoted jihad, it said.
She also claimed not to have known another individual was involved in encouraging hate against the West when she sent him money when in fact she shared his views.
Imagine that, the teacher doesn’t know nuffin.
Counter-terrorism policy in the UK has taken a rather strange turn. Earlier this week, the Twitter account of Counter Terrorism Policing UK put out a tweet containing an 18-second animated-video titled “John’s Story”

A Niagara judge has questioned why a violent criminal, who had amassed more than 40 convictions since arriving in Canada from Syria, is still in the country.
“He has lived a life in Canada of persistent criminality,” Judge Joseph De Filippis said in Ontario Court of Justice in St. Catharines Thursday.
“As an aside, and respectfully, I don’t understand why he’s still in Canada. He is not a Canadian citizen, he’s a permanent resident, and there are rules around permanent residents who commit crimes.”
Mohammed Al-Samaneh, who originally came to Canada as a refugee, has 44 criminal convictions for multiple offences including assault and forcible confinement. His name is on the National Flagging System which identifies high-risk, violent offenders.
