Taliban say they won’t work with US to contain Islamic State

ISLAMABAD (AP) — The Taliban on Saturday ruled out cooperation with the United States to contain extremist groups in Afghanistan, staking out an uncompromising position on a key issue ahead of the first direct talks between the former foes since America withdrew from the country in August.

Senior Taliban officials and U.S. representatives are to meet Saturday and Sunday in Doha, the capital of Qatar. Officials from both sides have said issues include reining in extremist groups and the evacuation of foreign citizens and Afghans from the country. The Taliban have signaled flexibility on evacuations.

“Burlington man”, who made up a tale about being an Islamic State executioner, sees terrorism-hoax charges dropped

What has the world come to when even the New York Times can’t be trusted!

A Burlington man, who made up a story about being an Islamic State executioner, has seen the rare terrorism-hoax charges he faced dropped, after his stories became the focus of major media reports, capturing worldwide attention and creating a political storm in Canada.

Justice Donald McLeod accepted the Crown’s decision to withdraw terrorism-hoax charges laid against 26-year-old Shehroze Chaudhry in a Brampton court Friday.

The charges were withdrawn after it was found the accused had made up claims to have fought for Islamic State and he posed little threat to the public.

Turkey’s Airstrikes in Syria, Iraq

Since the Taliban’s violent takeover of Afghanistan on August 15, Turkey has increased its expansionist military activities in the Middle East in a way that is significantly impacting the lives of minorities.

Turkey appears to be maneuvering to expand an Islamic state in Syria and Iraq.

Turkey has so far been using its fight against the PKK (Kurdistan Workers’ Party) as an excuse to justify its military aggression, destruction and casualties of persecuted minorities. Among those communities affected by Turkish military actions in Iraq and Syria are Yazidis, Assyrians and Kurds — communities previously targeted by ISIS and al-Qaeda.

Jihadists target African village leaders in wave of assassinations

Groups affiliated with Islamic State and al Qaeda are killing and kidnapping elder statesmen and their families in villages across Niger, Mali and Burkina Faso. The violence mimics their tactics in other parts of the world where they have seized control.

Scrawled onto a cement gravestone in the village of Tchombangou is the date when the calm of the remote community in southwest Niger was shattered: Friday, Nov. 22, 2019.

Before dawn that day, gunmen approached on motorbikes across the surrounding scrubland. Their target: Boubacar Lawey, the 95-year-old village chief who walked with a cane and for 55 years had settled local disputes, collected taxes and registered births and deaths.

While residents slept, the men led Lawey a short way from the village and shot him dead.

Afghanistan: Deadly attack hits Kunduz mosque during Friday prayers

A suicide bomber has targeted a mosque in the northern Afghan city of Kunduz during Friday prayers, killing at least 50 people, local officials say.

Images on social media showed bodies and debris inside the mosque, used by the minority Shia Muslim community.

No group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack.

Sunni Muslim extremists, including the local Islamic State (IS) group, have targeted the Shia community because they consider them to be heretics.

Sunni v Shia civil war.

Democrats’ quagmire of Jew hatred

THERE is a sickness overshadowing the US, and it’s not Covid-19. The last year has seen an unprecedented rise in anti-Semitism. The Democratic Party, dominated by socialists and Islamists united by their hatred of Jews, have certainly contributed to this.

The Democrats excel in toxic rhetoric against the Jewish state. At the start of 2019, I noted that with the election of Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib into Congress, the party turned into an anti-Semitic cult…

Brit ISIS Bride Doesn’t Think She’s Done Anything Wrong

A British mother and former Pizza Hut worker who left to join Islamic State has urged the UK to let her return from Syria with her daughters aged seven, nine and 12.

Nicole Jack, of Shepherd’s Bush, West London, and her children are being detained at Camp Roj where relatives of people suspected of belonging to Isis are held.

Ms Jack, 34, is being held at the same camp as Isis bride Shamima Begum – a fellow Londoner who had her UK citizenship cancelled by Sajid Javid on security grounds in 2019 and will not be allowed back – but insisted she is not a security threat to Britain.

Biden administration fights to keep details of CIA torture of detainee secret

The US supreme court is set to hear arguments about the government’s ability to keep what it says are “state secrets” from a Palestinian man who endured brutal torture by the CIA following 9/11 and is now held at Guantánamo Bay.

At the center of the case being heard on Wednesday is whether Abu Zubaydah, who was captured in Pakistan in 2002, can get information related to his detention.

Zubaydah and his lawyer want to question two former CIA contractors about Zubaydah’s time at a secret CIA facility in Poland where they say he was held and tortured.

What We Can Learn From the Death of Muhammed Cartoonist Lars Vilks

His death drew repulsive reactions worldwide.

When Donald Trump suggested in 2015 that some American Muslims had cheered the destruction of the World Trade Center, he was roundly denounced. For career politicians of both parties, and for almost everybody in the mainstream media, the notion that any Muslim, anywhere, had celebrated the attacks of 9/11 was appalling.

Surely millions of them had rushed to mosques to pray for the victims. Theirs, after all, is a Religion of Peace that teaches love, compassion, and forgiveness — just like Christianity, only with hijabs, tabouleh, and prayer rugs. And of course they’re all every bit as patriotic as any other American.

Middle East Migrants: Stay in Your Culture Zone

Middle Easterners need to take responsibility for their brethren.

… From the Western perspective, the open invitation of 2015-16 by the leaders of Germany and Sweden, allowing into their countries an estimated 1 million and 100,000 unvetted migrants, respectively, from Syria and elsewhere, turned out badly. Westerners watched helplessly as Middle Easterners arrived by plane, boat, train, bus, car, and foot through the beaches, fields, and railroad stations of Europe. They then witnessed those large numbers bring disease, resist assimilation, impose Islamic laws, engage in a crime wave, perpetrate the Cologne taharrush (mass sexual assault), and execute jihadi attacks in Paris and Brussels. They uneasily accepted that their societies turned into quasi-surveillance states.

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.
