The Alberta court approved a terrorism peace bond on Wednesday for an Edmonton woman federal prosecutors allege was married to two ISIS fighters and sought military training.

As tensions rise, Islamist groups are once again quietly preparing attacks in Europe – with the Olympics and Euro 2024 as possible targets
The threat of violent extremism in Europe has been intensifying since Hamas launched its horrific assault on Israel on October 7. The first Olympic Games to be held in Paris for 100 years are likely to feature a pared-down opening ceremony, and European football is boosting security amid threats of attack by Islamic State (IS) ahead of the Euro 2024 tournament.
Political tension is on the rise, as evidenced by the shooting of the Slovakian prime minister, Robert Fico. Across the continent, police have been busting Islamist cells planning mass-casualty attacks. American security agencies fear that white supremacists and Islamist extremists could find common cause in their opposition to democratic government.
Montreal police arrested a suspect Wednesday in connection with shots fired against a Jewish school in Côte-des-Neiges—Notre-Dame-de-Grâce last fall.
Abdirazak Mahdi Ahmed, 20, of Les Cèdres, appeared before a Quebec Court judge at the Montreal courthouse where he was charged with intentionally discharging a firearm, on Nov. 12, at a location knowing that a person might be inside. He is also charged with theft and receiving stolen vehicles, and committing mischief on Nov. 9.
There are no doubt some who are saddened by the death of Iranian president Ebrahim Raisi. Iran-backed Islamist militias, for instance, have clearly been dismayed by the news of his fatal helicopter crash on Sunday. Lebanon’s Hezbollah extended its ‘deepest condolences’ to Iran’s leaders. Hamas, the anti-Semitic terror group currently fighting Israel in Gaza, went even further to express its ‘feelings of sadness and pain’. Its leaders pledged their ‘complete solidarity’ with the Islamic Republic.

… The petition, which closes for signatures at the end of this week, urges the federal government to provide clarity to law enforcement and provincial attorneys general on whether rallying cries such as “From the River to the Sea, Palestine Will Be Free,” “Globalize the Intifada” and “Long Live Oct. 7” contravene portions of Sec. 319 of the Criminal Code of Canada concerning the wilful promotion of hatred.
Grifters hoping to earn a slot in the DEI victimhood hierarchy describe “It’s OK to Be White” as hate speech in order to demonize and fund raise off of those they disagree with.
The Pallie phrases listed above are ugly but not hate speech.
Bad idea.

The U.S. Supreme Court turned away on Monday a Canadian former Guantanamo Bay detainee’s bid to vacate his convictions for the 2002 murder of an American soldier in Afghanistan and other crimes he committed at age 15 to which he later pleaded guilty.
The justices declined to hear an appeal by Omar Khadr, now age 37, of a lower court’s refusal to hear his case on the grounds that he had waived his right to appellate review as part of a 2010 plea agreement before a U.S. military commission.
Two prison guards were killed in a spectacular attack on a prison van Tuesday by a commando tasked with freeing Mohamed Amra, a figure linked to drug trafficking and gang-related crime, during his transfer. The tragedy is a shocking illustration of the explosion of the drug trade revealed in a senate report, the release of which coincided with the attack.
The German government’s laissez-faire approach to Islamism has moved the problem into a taboo zone that has strengthened the Islamists.
More than a thousand Islamic extremists recently marched through the streets of Hamburg, Germany’s second-largest city, demanding that the European Union’s most populous and powerful country be reconstituted as an Islamic state governed by sharia. The demonstration, organized by a fast-growing Islamist group called Muslim Interaktiv, was allowed to proceed after left-wing parties in Hamburg’s legislature rejected a petition by right-wing parties to prohibit the event.
ST. JOHN’S, N.L. – Lawyers are questioning Canada’s approach to screening visa applications for people in Gaza with extended family in Canada after one applicant, a medical worker, was asked whether he had treated members of Hamas.
The Canadian Press obtained a redacted letter sent to the applicant by a Canadian immigration officer, which asks if he has “ever provided medical care to injured Hamas members.” If he has not, the letter asks him to say how he was able to refuse “without consequences.”
Kelly O’Connor, an immigration lawyer in Toronto, said she gasped out loud when she saw the text. Any medical worker who denies care to someone hurt in a war zone is committing a “serious breach of the Geneva Convention,” she said in an interview.
No Gazans should be admitted to Canada.
Earlier this month, the Biden administration floated a trial balloon, suggesting “senior officials across several federal U.S. agencies have discussed the practicality of different options to resettle Palestinians from Gaza who have immediate family members who are American citizens or permanent residents.”
Justin is no doubt enthralled.
“It started with a fellow pupil saying ‘Heil Hitler’ to my son – in the classroom, the school corridor and the playground.” Sarah’s* teenage child didn’t want to go to school the day after this happened. “He was very upset,” she says. “He was also worried about reporting it and being seen as a snitch. There are incidents all the time and it’s not a nice environment for him.”
Sarah’s son attends a state secondary school in Surrey. As a Jewish pupil, he had experienced one incident of anti-Semitism there before Oct 7 last year. But since Hamas’s terror attack on Israel and the ensuing war in Gaza, the British schoolboy has found himself at the sharp end of an escalation in anti-Semitic abuse from his peers, some of whom have taken to incorporating the word “Jew” into his name.
TDSB investigating incident of alleged antisemitism at North York school following community rally
The Toronto District School Board is investigating an incident that sparked a community rally outside a North York school Friday morning in support of a Jewish student.
In a letter sent home to parents Friday afternoon, Principal Katia Robles said the rally “was related to serious allegations involving students.” She said it was reported to administrators that “a small group of students were throwing stones, among other items, at each other at various times during the day” on Thursday. The letter does not specify further details about what happened or why.
Rally attendees, however, say that the student they showed up to support was targeted because he is Jewish and the victim of antisemitism and bullying.
The prison van attack is just the beginning
The cold-blooded execution of two prison guards at a Normandy motorway toll on Tuesday has shocked France. It is for many commentators and politicians incontrovertible evidence of the ‘Mexicanisation’ of the Republic.
Prime Minister Gabriel Attal has told the escaped prisoner and his accomplices that they will be hunted down and punished, but it better be done quickly. With every passing hour that they remain at liberty it reinforces the image of a state that, in the words of Senator Bruno Retailleau, ‘has lost control’.
Other politicians are talking of a ‘war’. Eric Zemmour told an interviewer the country was engaged in ‘a civil war’, while Francois-Xavier Bellamy of the centre-right Republicans said that the ‘state is in the process of losing the war’.

Teachers will be given protection from claims of blasphemy by religious groups under proposals set out in a government-commissioned report.
Legal guarantees upholding teachers’ rights to freedom of expression should be introduced, according to the recommendations. Schools would also be barred from automatically suspending staff or pupils in response to blasphemy complaints.
New guidance to all schools would also make clear that unlike sex education, schools have no obligation to consult parents on content that may insult certain religious groups nor do they have a duty to consult religious or community groups.
I can’t wait for the Gazan refugee influx.
