An Ontario man admitted Monday he left Toronto with his wife almost two years ago to join the so-called Islamic State.
At a court appearance in Brampton, Ont., Ikar Mao, 23, pleaded guilty to leaving Canada to participate in the activities of a terrorist group.
Western forces are racing to leave Afghanistan this month. France has signalled a significant scaling back of its military commitment in Mali. In Iraq, British and other Western forces no longer have any major combat role.
Twenty years after President George W Bush’s so-called War on Terror, is the era of big “boots-on-the ground” military deployments to distant warzones coming to an end?
Not yet – there is still a substantial commitment to fighting jihadists in the Sahel – but there is now a radical rethink in how these missions are conducted.
Large-scale, long-term deployments have been hugely costly, in blood, in money and in political capital at home.
Muslim backlash leaves Keir Starmer facing new Red Wall humiliation that could end his Labour leadership
Sir Keir Starmer is heading for a by-election defeat that could end his leadership amid claims his tough stance on antisemitism has cost him the trust of Muslim voters.
He faces a bitter backlash from Muslim communities in Labour-held Batley and Spen, with even his wife Victoria’s Jewish heritage apparently being cited as one reason not to vote Labour.
Starmer loyalists last night hit back at what they said were ‘repellent and repugnant’ attempts to draw Mrs Starmer into the West Yorkshire by-election battle, where polls have put the Tories on course to snatch the Red Wall seat.
Did you expect to witness this sort of thing being reported in a mainstream newspaper in this day and age?
It’s a dream come true for our mass-immigration multicultists.
By welcoming a former Green MP who is so biased against Israel she could not tolerate her leader calling for peace in the Mideast or a colleague speaking out about anti-Semitism, the Liberals have exposed their hypocrisy on these issues, and left Canadians wondering whether the Trudeau government is trying to play both sides in order to win votes.
Thanks to Canada’s destructive mass immigration policy Islamists are the ascendant demographic relative to the Jewish population, roughly 1.2 million to four hundred thousand respectively.
Add to the mix a generation or two of useful idiots churned out by our ideologically depraved “anti-Zionist” universities and the writing is on the wall.
It’s not going to get better.
The Taliban on Sunday touted “a genuine Islamic system” as the best way to end the war in Afghanistan and ensure rights, including for women.
The Islamic militants made the comments in a statement that reaffirmed their commitment to peace talks with representatives from the Afghan government.
All parties in Germany’s grand coalition government have agreed to ban the flag of Palestinian Islamic fundamentalist group Hamas, the Welt am Sonntag newspaper said in a report published Sunday.
The move comes after several antisemitic incidents occurred last month in Germany during anti-Israel rallies.
The plan, which aims to root out ghettos and parallel societies, stipulates a plethora of tools, including so-called “strategic demolition”.
In yet another tightening of Denmark’s immigration policy, the share of residents with a non-Western background in certain areas will be limited.
The admitted goal of the Danish government is to fight what is being billed as ghettos and parallel societies.
In 2018, the first laws were drafted to prevent immigrants from cramming into certain residential areas. The law package went under the name “A Denmark without parallel societies – no ghettos by 2030” and sparked controversy and warnings of ethnic discrimination from the UN, as it envisaged stricter penalties for residents in these areas.
Shamima Begum’s lawyers tell immigration hearing there is ‘overwhelming evidence’ she was the victim of trafficking when she left Britain to join ISIS and claim she is ‘unsafe’ in Syria camp
The inquiry into the Manchester Arena bombing points to some serious problems in our society.
The independent inquiry into the Manchester Arena bombing of May 2017, in which 22 pop fans were killed by an Islamist extremist, has published the first volume of its report. It makes for chilling reading. The inquiry has found there were numerous ‘missed opportunities’ to confront Salman Abedi, the bomber, and potentially stop him from detonating the device in his rucksack. Most chilling of all is the reason given by one of the key security guards on patrol that evening as to why he failed to question Abedi. He was worried, he said, that asking a brown-skinned man why he was hanging around the arena might be construed as racist.
A teacher who was suspended after showing a cartoon of the Prophet Muhammad to pupils during an RE lesson has refused to return to work over fears for his life – despite being cleared of causing deliberate offence and told that he could have his job back.
He continues to remain in hiding with his family and has permanently left the housing association property they shared near Batley.
The family have been rehoused at a secret location with not even close relatives being informed about where it is.
Speaking on Fox & Friends on Tuesday after the incendiary viral comments of Abrar Omeish, a young female Muslim board member of Fairfax County School Board, at the Justice High School graduation, a former Wall Street Journal correspondent and Georgetown University professor who is also Muslim and a parent in the school district fired that Omeish’s comments were “part of this network of political Islam in America that has joined together with the far Left in order to create a Trojan horse to basically hijack our schools with their radical ideology.”

Iranian political prisoners who were interrogated, tortured and sentenced to die by Ebrahim Raisi have told of their horrifying experiences as Iran prepares to make him the country’s next president.
Farideh Goudarzi, who was jailed for being part of a banned political group, told MailOnline how Raisi watched guards drop her baby on the floor as part of one brutal interrogation – after she was tortured while pregnant and forced to give birth in jail.
Meanwhile Mahmoud Royaee, another political prisoner interrogated by Raisi during the execution of up to 30,000 opposition activists in a 1988 purge, said Raisi once handed down a death sentence to an inmate who was in the midst of an epileptic fit.
… After two hours of speeches and prayers at the vigil for the Muslim family that was killed, Imam Munir El-Kassem of London’s Islamic Centre of Southwest Ontario was invited to the stage to give closing remarks, in front of PM Justin Trudeau, Jagmeet Singh and other elected officials and went on to attack the JEWS.
Toronto police say the accused were under the influence of drugs when they allegedly tried to enter the Islamic Institute of Toronto on Tuesday morning, and there’s no evidence suggesting what happened was hate-motivated.
