“Canadian man” Mohamed Mohamed charged with terrorism after machete attack at Kenya mosque

NAIROBI – Police in Kenya say a Canadian man accused of wielding a machete and injuring almost half a dozen people at a mosque in Nairobi has pleaded not guilty.

ISIS calls on Muslims to set fire to churches and synagogues across US, Europe in twisted Easter threat

ISIS has urged Muslims to set fire to churches and synagogues across the US and Europe this weekend in a sickening Easter threat.

The Islamist terror group issued the callous call, made in response to Israel’s closing of the al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem, in the latest edition of its weekly propaganda outlet, al-Naba, released on Thursday.

“In the face of the tragedy of the closure of the blessed al-Aqsa Mosque, it is incumbent upon Muslims everywhere—those who yearn to come to the aid of the site of their Prophet’s Night Journey—to rise up and set fire to the Jewish synagogues scattered across America, Europe, Russia, India, and elsewhere,” ISIS declared, in a translation of al-Naba.

Cuba says it will release over 2,000 prisoners, as U.S. keeps up pressure

The Cuban government on Thursday said it would release 2,010 inmates from its prisons in a “humanitarian and sovereign gesture,” announcing a sweeping pardon as the Trump administration continues its pressure campaign to isolate the island through a de facto oil blockade.

The announcement, reported in the state-run newspaper Granma, marks one of the largest prisoner releases in the country in recent years. The government said it chose whom to pardon based on the crimes committed, “their good conduct in prison, the fact that they had ​served a significant portion of their sentence, and their state of health,” according to Granma.

Trump Derangement Syndrome… Canadian style

For the most part, I avoid conversations about Donald Trump…because none of them are worth having. In all honesty and I’ve said this time and time again, I can’t stand to listen to the man speak.

While there is some amusement in watching liberal heads exploding when he talks…I don’t need to actually listen to him to get the full effect…and this isn’t solving any of our problems.

A good rant that will offend the Elbow people.

While Canadian universities drown in cancel culture, identity quotas and self-censorship, the University of Austin delivers excellence

Few Canadians have heard about the University of Austin but that may change as the university’s experiment in the post-secondary environment continues.

This writer visited the university in the Texas capital in March and spoke with the president, his academic and staff colleagues, and a student who stepped away from exam time to share her perspective on the school. It was clear that all were attracted to UATX by a commitment to innovation in post-secondary education.

‘Be serious… don’t speak every day’: Macron criticises Trump approach to Iran war

The Iran war requires a “serious” approach that does not change every day, Emmanuel Macron has said, in an apparent reference to US President Donald Trump’s seemingly contradictory remarks about the conflict.

“This is not a show. We are talking about war and peace and the lives of men and women,” the French president told journalists upon arrival in South Korea for a state visit.

“When you want to be serious you don’t say every day the opposite of what you said the day before,” Macron added.
