Islam and violence
How terror triumphed at the Christmas market

Mulled wine and Heckler & Koch assault rifles don’t belong together, except in Christmas films like Die Hard. Festive visitors to Christmas markets in Berlin, London or Strasbourg this year will notice the pairing all the same. Concrete blocks surround fairy lights, and the scent of cloves and cinnamon wafts over armed police carrying submachine guns.
Since an Islamist drove a lorry into the Breitscheidplatz market in Berlin in December 2016, killing twelve and injuring dozens, we deck the halls with blast protection. There are still tacky wooden chalets selling sausages, but they are now often surrounded by steel posts, truck-proof planters, and one-way systems designed to stop SUVs achieving murderous velocities before hitting crash barriers.
When Canadian Soil Becomes a Megaphone: Why Terrorist Glorification is a Foreign Policy Issue

When MP Roman Baber rose in the House of Commons on 17 November to table Bill C-257, he was not just tinkering with legal technicalities. His proposal would create a new Criminal Code offence of “wilfully promoting a terrorist activity or a terrorist group,” punishable by up to five years in prison and classified as a terrorism offence. In plain language, Parliament is being asked whether glorifying terrorism from Canadian soil should itself be treated as a terrorism crime.
Supporters, including organizations such as the Canadian Jewish Law Association and B’nai Brith Canada, say the bill fills a dangerous gap exposed by rallies and online content that appear to praise Hamas and other listed entities. Critics worry about overreach and the chilling of legitimate protest.
Curtailing speech is always a double edged sword and our history with such measures typically results in attacks on Canadian heritage and values.
The Bondi massacre has shredded Australia’s social fabric

Australia once thought of itself as the most peaceful multicultural nation on Earth. Not anymore.
The anti-Semitism that drove Alexander Kleytman to seek sanctity in Australia finally caught up with him. Kleytman fled Ukraine as a child with his mother to escape the unspeakable terror of the Holocaust. They survived sub-zero temperatures and near starvation in Siberia, counting themselves lucky to be alive. Yesterday, at the age of 87, he was killed by a jihadist’s bullet on a warm summer evening at Bondi Beach in front of his grandchildren.
Joe Adam George: Bondi Beach terror proves western capitulation only begets more jihadist violence

As Jewish families across Australia gathered for the first night of Hanukkah at Bondi Beach, two ISIS-linked Islamist terrorists turned celebration into carnage, killing 15 innocent people and injuring dozens. Authorities identified the suspects in the deadly shooting as a 50-year-old man and his adult son. Several high-profile accounts on X claimed that the duo were of Pakistani-origin.

Ilhan Omar’s chilling ties to ‘The Butcher of Hargeisa’… and the buried secrets that prove she’s LIED to America

Democratic congresswoman Ilhan Omar has built her political brand on a familiar story: the refugee girl who fled war, embraced America and rose to the halls of power championing universal healthcare, immigrant rights and progressive causes.
But new photos, archival material and historical accounts from her native Somalia obtained by the Daily Mail paint a far more complicated – and troubling – portrait of the Minnesota lawmaker’s backstory.
The material includes images linking Omar and her relatives to some of the most feared figures in Somalia’s modern history, including Major General Mohammed Said Hersi Morgan — the man known as the ‘Butcher of Hargeisa’ for atrocities committed in the late 1980s.

Michael Higgins: This is what the Islamists in our streets want

The horror of Bondi Beach could just as easily happen in Canada — because the conditions are the same: we have allowed antisemitism to grow unchecked and infect our society.
Jews in Canada were already living in a climate of fear, now Hanukkah celebrations will be overshadowed by terror.
Any place there are Muslims there will exist the possibility of mass murder, it’s hard wired into their cult beliefs.
Every government since 911 has aided and abetted their settlement in Canada.
Bondi Beach terror survivor describes how cops ‘froze’ during 20-minute shooting rampage by Muslim terrorists
One of the survivors of the terror attack at a Bondi Beach Hanukkah celebration said four police officers just “froze” during the 20-minute rampage on Sunday that killed 11.
Eyewitness Shmulik Scuri said he was with his family when the two suspects began firing at the crowd of worshippers from a nearby bridge.
“For 20 minutes. They shoot, shoot. Change magazines. And just shoot,” the witness told reporters

The Bondi barbarians
Barbarism has come to Bondi. Waking up to news this morning that at least 16 people have been killed, and at least 29 have been injured, following an anti-Semitic terror attack at the iconic beach in Australia, prompted that familiar mix of sickness, horror and grim inevitability.
As it stands, we know there were at least two (alleged) gunmen. One, Naveed Akram, was killed at the scene. The other, whose identity hasn’t been released, is in critical condition. The scum opened fire with rifles at a Hanukkah party. The authorities are thus treating it as an anti-Semitic terror attack, although it took some media outlets an oddly long time to put two and two together. Police are probing reports of a third attacker, and have found an improvised explosive device in a car.

Hero Of Bondi

The hero who disarmed one of the Bondi Beach attackers by grabbing his gun is a father-of-two fruit shop owner.
The death toll has risen to 16 after two gunmen opened fire at the popular tourist beach in Sydney on Sunday evening where a Jewish Hanukkah celebration was underway.
Ahmed al Ahmed, 43, has been named by relatives as the man fighting one of the terrorists in a video shared widely on social media.

He may be a Maronite Christian and not a Muslim.
He is a Christian Maronite!
The hero that stopped one of the terrorists in Australia is called Ahmad Al Ahmad.
The Anti-Israel mobs celebrated him being a Muslim, as if that made the terror attack less terrible.
But he is not a Muslim!
He is a Christian Maronite! pic.twitter.com/aV7lZBnIFC— Hamas Atrocities (@HamasAtrocities) December 14, 2025
The night Australia died

Australia died tonight.
An obscene number of people were shot down in cold blood celebrating a Jewish holiday on the iconic and wonderful Bondi Beach. Murdered, most likely, by religious fanatics. Murdered, possibly, by people who came, or whose parents came, to this country and imported a toxic, deadly, and poisonous ideology.
Nobody thought to stop them entering this country. Nobody thought to question their fitness to be new Australian citizens.

Welcome to the West’s self-cannibalization

“Decolonized” Xmas is one where the Nativity is a Eurocentric narrative that hides the “real” Jesus who, if he were here today, would join a “from the river to the sea” demonstration.
Berlin, the city where Mohammed is the most common name among newborns and Islam has already overtaken Christianity.
A taxpayer-funded event in Charlottenburg. Title: “Decolonizing Christmas.” The organizers, Muslims and Christians, “unmask the colonial and discriminatory imaginary” in the history of Christmas, paid for by the Senate Department for Culture and Social Cohesion of Berlin. We are at the Friedenskirche, a stronghold of the Lutheran Church that seems to have mistaken its pulpit for a postcolonial and pro-Hamas seminar room at Columbia University.
“A stark prospect of civilizational erasure,” according to Trump’s White House.
Vivian Bercovici: Bondi Beach massacre is what globalizing the intifada looks likes

More than 1,000 Jewish people congregated on Sydney’s iconic Bondi Beach on Sunday to celebrate the first night of Chanukah, a festival of light and miracles.
What unfolded was disturbingly reminiscent of October 7. Two gunmen opened fire with automatic weapons targeting the gathering of Jews. Shouts of “Allahu Akhbar” were reportedly heard. One of the gunmen is captured on video warning people who were not Jewish to run away. The event was unguarded, but the nearest police station was a mere 150 metres away. Eyewitnesses say it took what seemed like an eternity for police to arrive and respond, between five and 10 minutes.
Bondi Beach terrorists were father and son who legally owned 6 guns — despite tough firearms laws

The two gunmen who opened fire on Australia’s Bondi Beach where thousands of Jews were celebrating Hanukkah are believed to be a father-son duo who had a trove of legally-owned guns.
Naveed Akram, 24, and his 50-year-old accomplice are believed to be father and son, authorities said on Monday.
