Shamima Begum: ‘I’m ashamed of myself. I made excuses’

For more than a year, I’ve been coming to sit in the same featureless, white, air-conditioned room. Cheap, stiff, bulky armchairs are positioned against the walls. In the centre is a long glass coffee table covered in refreshments – everything from bottled water to those fruit juices that contain enough sugar to dissolve your teeth. The room is in a Syrian detention camp. And it’s where I meet Shamima Begum for the ten-part BBC investigative podcast and feature documentary, The Shamima Begum Story.

Man convicted of repeatedly raping 4 and 9-yr-old girls cries foul when judge gives him meager 180 days in jail

Mohamed Bakari Shei enjoys raping children

The public is in an uproar over news that a convicted 20-year-old Rochester, Minnesota rapist must serve only 180 days in jail for raping two young girls when he was around 16 years old.

One of convicted rapist Mohamed Bakari Shei’s victims was reportedly nine years old, while the other was four or five at the time.

André Pratte: Did no one vet anti-Islamophobia rep’s past?

We were told by the Prime Minister’s Office that Amira Elghawaby was appointed as Canada’s first Special Representative on Combatting Islamophobia “following an open, transparent, and merit-based selection process.” It is beyond my comprehension how such a process would not have involved a simple web search to see whether Elghawaby had said or written something that could be embarrassing for the government or her, or both. For instance, writings that would have revealed a simplistic view of Islamophobia in Québec?

The Spanish Samuel Paty

What would it take for Spain—or any society, for that matter—to reassess the scale at which it welcomes immigrants from Muslim-majority countries? Not that such a reassessment would necessarily make a practical difference, since most such immigrants (primarily from neighboring Morocco in Spain’s case) file asylum claims underwritten by EU protocols over which the member states have entirely given up their sovereignty. Though such claims are often long shots, the mere act of filing one immediately shields the applicant from deportation pending a judge’s ruling on whether to grant or deny it. Those immigrants who come in a plainly illegal manner, meanwhile, or those who overstay the denial of their claim, are admittedly a population which, if public opinion supported such a move, the state could more swiftly deport than it currently is.

‘Honour’ killing of YouTube star sparks outrage in Iraq

The death of a young YouTube star at the hands of her father has sparked outrage in Iraq, as so-called “honour” killings continue in the conservative country.

Tiba al-Ali, 22, was killed by her father on 31 January in the southern province of Diwaniya, interior ministry spokesperson Saad Maan said on Twitter on Friday.

Police had attempted to mediate between Ali – who lived in Turkey and was visiting Iraq – and her relatives to “resolve the family dispute in a definitive manner”, Maan said.

KRAYDEN: Islamophobia Czar needs to apologize again, then resign and this office be abolished

Why does Canada have an Islamophobia czar?

Why did Prime Minister Justin Trudeau just appoint someone named Amira Elghawaby as Canada’s “special representative on combating Islamophobia?”

Police ban planned Quran burning protest in Norway

Police in Norway have banned a planned protest including the burning of a copy of the Islamic holy book, the Quran, hours after the Turkish foreign ministry summoned the Norwegian ambassador to complain.

A group of protesters planned to burn a copy of the Quran outside the Turkish embassy in Oslo on Friday, police said.

Is it worth having Turkey in NATO?

FATAH: Trudeau’s choice of Hijabi to combat Islamophobia is puzzling

… Just this Tuesday, an Islamic suicide bomber blew himself up inside a mosque in Peshawar, Pakistan killing over 100 and injuring scores more.

Did Elghawaby have anything to say on these atrocities being committed in the name of Islam? She expressed her discomfort at the protests against the Iranian Islamic regime when she tweeted: “People who are angry with the government in Iran are taking it out on Canadian citizens that are Muslims here.”

Are you taking it out? Clearly, the sight of thousands of exiled Iranians who now call Canada their home upset Elghawaby. What else could we have expected from Trudeau’s new czarina who, instead of criticizing the Ayatollahs of Iran, chose to target fellow Muslims who seek democracy, liberty, freedom of conscience and speech?

She is an Islamist Liar.

Erdogan: Sweden can’t join NATO if Quran-burning is allowed

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan reaffirmed Wednesday that Turkey won’t allow Sweden to join the NATO military alliance as long as the Scandinavian country permits protests desecrating Islam’s holy book to take place.

Turkey, which had already been holding off approving Sweden and Finland’s membership in the Western military alliance, has been infuriated by a series of separate demonstrations in Stockholm. In one case a solitary anti-Islam activist burned the Quran outside the Turkish Embassy, while in an unconnected protest an effigy of Erdogan was hanged. Even before that, Ankara had been pressing Sweden and Finland to crack down on exiled members of Kurdish and other groups it sees as terrorists, and to allow arms sales to Turkey.

Gun gangs shatter Sweden’s peaceful reputation

At an impromptu shrine outside a shopping centre on the southern reaches of the Stockholm’s commuter belt, teenagers gatherered before photographs of a boy with a faintly goofy smile and voluminous black curls that made him look a little younger than his 15 years.

Ali Shafaei was shot dead here in Skogas on Saturday, the latest victim of a surge of gang violence around the Swedish capital in which at least four teenagers and young men have been killed since Christmas. Over the past month there has, on average, been a shooting or a bombing every day. “It’s extreme out there,” Nikoi Djane, a former criminal turned criminologist, said. “It’s tit for tat. It’s like a game to them now.”

The House of Representatives voted Thursday to remove Representative Ilhan Omar (D., Minn.) from the Foreign Affairs Committee over her history of making antisemitic remarks.

AOC goes nutz.

The Trudeau Hijabi’s job is to preach to the converted

The noxious effects of identity politics have been on full display in Canada since Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Jan. 26 nomination of Amira Elghawaby as his government’s Special Representative on Combatting Islamophobia.

In Quebec, the reaction to Ms. Elghawaby’s appointment has gone far beyond the boilerplate outrage that usually awaits external critics of the province’s efforts to preserve its language, identity and values. This time, the indignation is real and proportional to the offence Mr. Trudeau committed in promoting someone who has perpetuated stereotypes about Quebeckers as hostile toward “others.”

The uncomfortable truth about Spain’s latest terror attack

Why is it only the Right talking about the killer’s Islamist background?

Last week, on Spain’s southernmost outpost of Algeciras, 25-year-old Moroccan national Yassine Kanjaa left his apartment to head into town. He had been illegally squatting there for three years, but it was clear that he would not be returning any time soon.

World Hijab Day Celebrates Islamic Rape Culture

“If she was in her room, in her home, in her Hijab, no problem would have occurred.”

Today, Feb 1 is World Hijab Day. The annual Islamist event commemorates the return of the Ayatollah Khomeini and the beginning of the mandatory ‘Hijabization’ of women in Iran.

While women in Iran are risking their lives to remove their hijabs, facing arrests, beatings and even death, the media in this country, much like the media in Iran, continues promoting the hijab.

The origins of the hijab are ugly and you won’t hear about them on World Hijab Day.

Canada’s new anti-Islamophobia representative apologizes for comments about Quebecers

OTTAWA – Canada’s new special representative on combating Islamophobia says she is sorry that her words have hurt Quebecers.

Amira Elghawaby apologized in English before a meeting today with Bloc Quebecois Leader Yves-Francois Blanchet.

She says she is “extremely sorry” for the way her words have carried and how they hurt the people of Quebec, and that she will listen carefully and that’s what dialogue is all about.

She’s a liar and she ain’t “Canada’s” anything. Just a cheap bit of vote whoring by Trudeau.
