A Swedish police officer was shot and killed on Wednesday night while on duty in Sweden in what is a rare occurrence in Nordic countries.
The rookie police officer, 33, was shot during a patrol of the Gothenburg suburb Biskopsgarden, which has been plagued by gang violence in recent years.
Caretaker Prime Minister Stefan Lofven today expressed outrage at the murder, calling it an ‘attack on our open society’.
He was on patrol in a very vibrant neighborhood.
A monthly record number of reports of anti-Semitic incidents were recorded following the 11-day conflict between Israel and the Palestinians in May, a charity says. So how does it feel to be Jewish in the UK?
Rabbi Nicky Liss had been preparing to give a midnight talk at a north London synagogue last month, when he began to feel nervous.
A rabbi of 13 years, he was used to giving speeches. This one, to mark the start of the Jewish festival of Shavuot on 16 May, should not, on the face of it, have been any different.
But that afternoon, events built to what he describes as a “crescendo”.
The German Parliament has amended Germany’s Criminal Code to ban the flag of Hamas, the terrorist group that rules the Gaza Strip.
The move comes after the green and white flags of Hamas, which seeks the destruction of Israel, featured prominently at pro-Palestinian rallies across Germany during the Gaza conflict in May. Some of those rallies ended in anti-Semitic violence in German cities and towns.
German lawmakers said that banning the Hamas flag was aimed at sending “a clear signal” of support “to our Jewish citizens.” Others, however, dismissed the ban as an empty gesture aimed at silencing critics of the German government’s pro-Islamist foreign policy ahead of upcoming federal elections this September.
This is the horrific moment a woman passes out in pain after receiving 100 lashes for having pre-marital sex under a Sharia law punishment handed out in Indonesia.

The woman, whose name was not disclosed, and her male lover each received 100 lashes in the city of Lhokseumawe on Monday.
In 2017-2018, Canada delivered $50.5M to improve sustainable economic prosperity for the poor and to support Indonesia’s democratic-governance reform agenda.
CBC also spoke with residents of Christina Lake, B.C., where Hamdan currently lives, who expressed concerns about him being in their community. None wished to speak on the record but said they were afraid of him and felt Canadian laws had failed. (Oh the Islamophobia!)
Acquitted of terrorism but still considered a threat, this man’s status in Canada hangs in limbo
… In all, RCMP had tracked thousands of posts made by Hamdan — some that he had written, others that he had shared — and flagged 85 of them for celebrating ISIS’s success, praising lone wolf attacks and the Parliament Hill shooter, as well as identifying places in Canada with weak security.
He was denied bail and spent two years in jail awaiting trial.
This is the CBC, your terrorist friendly public broadcaster.
Terrorists have joined an arms race we cannot afford to lose
Summer days in Erbil, the capital of the Kurdistan region of northern Iraq, are unbearably hot. But this year, for the city’s residents the 44-degree heat is the least of their concerns. In recent weeks, this usually safe municipality has become a chaotic front in the Middle East’s increasingly deadly drone wars, as new technologies are exploited by Iranian-backed Iraqi militias.
Detroit — A one-armed Islamic State soldier testified Monday he served alongside a Dearborn man accused of fighting on behalf of the terrorist organization, an unprecedented admission in federal court during the war on terror.
Minnesota resident Abdelhamid Al-Madioum testified during a dramatic, virtual faceoff in federal court in Detroit involving two Americans who prosecutors say fled the country to wage jihad on behalf of a terrorist organization. During more than two hours of testimony, Al-Madioum, 24, said that he met Ibraheem Musaibli four times while both served in the Tariq bin Ziyad brigade, which was filled with foreign fighters — including Americans — who served in war zones in Iraq and Syria
Britons have vented their anger after a clip, taken from a Sky News broadcast, went viral in which a British Muslim claimed homosexuality is “heinous” and that “women were created for man’s pleasure.”

GENEVA, June 29 (Reuters) – The U.N. investigator on human rights in Iran has called for an independent inquiry into allegations of state-ordered executions of thousands of political prisoners in 1988 and the role played by President-elect Ebrahim Raisi as Tehran deputy prosecutor.
Javaid Rehman, in an interview with Reuters on Monday, said that over the years his office has gathered testimonies and evidence. It was ready to share them if the United Nations Human Rights Council or other body sets up an impartial investigation.
I bet this will be transparent and fair.
Court documents unsealed last week reveal that the RCMP intends to charge a Canadian ISIS foreign fighter with a string of terrorism offences.
Since his capture by U.S.-backed Kurdish forces in January 2019, Mohammed Khalifa, a self-confessed ISIS fighter from Toronto, has been held at a prison in northeastern Syria.
An affidavit classified as “top secret” but unsealed by an Ontario Superior Court judge last Tuesday reveals that the RCMP intends to charge Khalifa with four separate indictable offences, including participation in a known terrorist group — namely ISIS — and counselling others to commit a terrorism offence.

A knife attack in the German city of Wuerzburg in which three people died and six were injured had an Islamist motive, prosecutors have said. The attacker, a young Somali man, was shot and arrested by police.
“An Islamist background for the crimes is likely,” the Munich Prosecutor’s Office said in a joint statement with Bavarian police on Tuesday, describing Monday’s rampage. The perpetrator shouted “Allahu Akbar” at least two times during the incident.
Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, the official Palestinian Authority daily newspaper, reported proudly on June 13 that “out of his love for his homeland,” Palestinian jihad terrorist Musa Abu Atwan, who grandson Al-Ghandafar Musa Abu Atwan is currently in an Israeli prison for jihad terror activities, “gave birth to a son and gave him the name Eichmann to anger Zionism.”
A Canadian woman was released from a camp for ISIS detainees in northeast Syria on the weekend, a lawyer representing her family said on Monday.
The woman, believed to have left Alberta for Syria in 2014, has been taken to northern Iraq, setting the stage for her return to Canada.
She is the first Canadian adult to leave the makeshift camps and prisons for suspected ISIS members captured in Syria during the conflict.

One of the loudest cheerleaders for Islamic migration to Europe is Pope Francis. His predecessors called for the revival of a historically Christian Europe, but he makes no such call. Future historians will no doubt find it perplexing that the emergence of “Eurabia” happened not in spite of the Roman pontiff but in part because of him. “Europe will be Islamic by the end of the century,” predicted the historian Bernard Lewis.
The continued detention of former Islamic State fighters in Iraqi and Syrian camps is untenable, and more of them must be repatriated to their home countries, the US secretary of state said at a summit of the international coalition against Isis, held in Rome.
In remarks aimed primarily at France and the UK, Antony Blinken said: “This situation is simply untenable. It just can’t persist indefinitely.
“The United States continues to urge countries – including coalition partners – to repatriate, rehabilitate and, where applicable, prosecute its citizens.”
