Canada should have prosecuted Muslim terrorist who was ‘voice of ISIS,’ lawyer says

A Canadian ISIS member caught in Syria and flown to the United States to stand trial should have been prosecuted in Canada, a lawyer representing his family said Monday.

“If there is evidence against Canadians who are being arbitrarily detained in northeast Syria, they should be brought home and prosecuted,” Lawrence Greenspon told Global News.

“I don’t think we should be relying on the United States to repatriate Canadians in this way.”

 

In Canada he’d receive a slap on the wrist, in the US he may never see another day as a free man.  He’s in the right place.

Islamist Terrorism Flourishing Under the Taliban

As seen this morning with the bombing of the Eidgah Mosque in Kabul, leaving a reported 8 people killed and 20 wounded, the prospects of Afghanistan once more becoming a safe haven that can be used by Islamist terrorist groups to launch deadly attacks against the West have risen dramatically in the wake of US President Joe Biden’s disastrous decision to withdraw American forces from the country. Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack on Saturday through its Nasheer news agency on Telegram.

Part of Mr Biden’s justification for ending America’s 20-year-old involvement in the conflict was that the Taliban had learnt the lessons of its past involvement with Islamist terror groups like al-Qaeda, and would therefore be unlikely to allow them to operate freely in territory under Taliban control.

“I will make you smile forever.”

France: Muslim tortures and rapes his lesbian sister and her girlfriends

Armed and hooded, he forced them to go to a deserted place, beat them, forced them to kneel down; then the thirty-year-old deeply carved both cheeks of his sister’s girlfriend with a razor and said, as the victims told us at their hearings: “I will make you smile forever.”

Sweden: 200 explosions and 360 shootings blamed on ‘criminal clans with a different culture’

A suspected bomb blast which tore through an apartment block, injuring 20 people in the Swedish city of Gothenburg in the early hours of Tuesday has reignited the country’s debate over rampant gang violence.

Police say that an explosive device was ‘probably’ placed at the scene, with sources revealing that an officer who recently testified at a major gang trial lived in the building.

Prime Minister Stefan Lofven refused to ‘speculate’ but it’s hard to blame Swedes for rushing to conclusions: more than 200 explosions and 360 shootings reverberated through their cities in 2020.

Federal court rules social media can’t be held liable for radicalizing Pulse shooter

A federal appeals court has upheld a district court’s ruling that social media websites Facebook, Twitter and YouTube (and the site’s owner, Google) can’t be held liable for allegedly “aiding and abetting” the actions of Omar Mateen, the mass murderer who committed the massacre at Pulse, an LGBTQ nightclub, in 2016.

Although Mateen swore allegiance to the terrorist group ISIS, and ISIS claimed responsibility for the attack, the courts ruled that the shooting didn’t qualify as an act of “international terrorism.” Without that qualification, attempts to hold the various social media sites accountable for Mateen’s terrorism have failed.

Mali’s plan for Russia mercenaries to replace French troops in fight against Jihadists unsettles Sahel

There is deep international concern over Mali’s discussions with the controversial Russian private military company, the Wagner group, but many Malians feel the Russians cannot replace French troops soon enough.

The group was first identified in 2014 when it was backing pro-Russian separatists in the conflict in eastern Ukraine. Since then, it has been involved in countries including Syria, Mozambique, Sudan, Libya and the Central African Republic.

Back in 2013, there was a jubilant welcome for the French soldiers when they arrived in Mali after Islamist militants had hijacked a rebellion and threatened to seize control of the whole country.

“Back to Pre-9/11. But It’s Worse”

September 11, 2001 was the first time the United States had been attacked on its mainland since 1812. Nearly 3,000 people were killed. Americans reacted with determination and dignity. American flags were soon everywhere. The idea that the attacks should not go unpunished seemed unanimous. It was promptly proven that the attack came from al-Qaeda; on October 7, the US military started to crush the rear bases of al-Qaeda in Afghanistan and the Taliban who housed them.

Mosque Bombed: Memorial service for mother of Taliban’s chief spokesman ‘is targeted by ISIS militants’

A bomb which targeted the entrance of a mosque in the Afghan capital of Kabul on Sunday has left a ‘number of civilians dead’, according to a Taliban spokesman.

The bomb targeted the Eidgah mosque where a memorial service was being held for the mother of Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid.

No one immediately claimed responsibility for the bombing, but attacks in Afghanistan against the Taliban by Islamic State (IS) militants have increased since the Taliban swept to power in mid-August.

Paris attacks: Haunting survivors’ memories shake terror trial

Survivors of the terror attacks that killed 130 people in Paris in November 2015 have begun describing their ordeal in a Paris courtroom this week.

The suspects on trial include Salah Abdeslam, the only surviving member of the IS cell that targeted the city on a busy Friday night.

For the next five weeks around 350 survivors and relatives of the dead are scheduled to give their accounts. Some have already proved to be unbearably poignant.

“Canadian” ISIS member caught in Syria flown to U.S. to face terrorism charges

A Canadian who was allegedly “a leading figure” in the ISIS media section has been taken to the United States to face terrorism charges, the U.S. Justice Department said Saturday.

The FBI took custody of Mohamed Khalifa from Kurdish forces in northeast Syria, where he was captured in January 2019, and flew him to the eastern U.S. to stand trial.

No worries, Justin will win his freedom and give him a big fat cheque.

The Real Palestinian ‘Heroes’: Terrorists

While many international media outlets focused their attention on the escape of six Palestinian inmates from an Israeli prison on September 6, as well as the ensuing dramatic manhunt launched by thousands of Israeli police officers and soldiers, only a few – if any – reported on the Palestinian Authority (PA) leadership’s ongoing glorification of terrorists.

The PA lionization of Palestinian terrorists, including those who have been caught by the Israeli security forces, tried and are currently serving prison sentences, is not new. In fact, this is a practice that dates back to the first years of the founding of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) in 1964.

Families of ISIS detainees in Syria take Canada to court over inaction on repatriation

TORONTO — Families of Canadians detained in Syria over links to ISIS have filed a case in federal court against the Canadian government over perceived inaction on getting them home.

The proceeding was filed on Monday in Ottawa on behalf of 11 families – referred to as “Bring Our Loved Ones Home,” or BOLOH, to protect their identities. The case outlines their beliefs the government has neglected to uphold parts of the Federal Court Act, the Citizenship Act, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and the International Convention on the Rights of the Child, in relation to repatriating their family members.

I bet Trudeau is mulling a National Day Of Reconciliation with ISIS Day.
