So Called Canadian citizen extradited to India for alleged role in deadly 2008 Mumbai attacks

A Pakistan-born Canadian citizen wanted for his alleged role in the deadly 2008 Mumbai siege has landed in New Delhi after his extradition from the United States.

Tahawwur Hussain Rana, 64, arrived at a military airbase outside the Indian capital under heavily armed guard late on Thursday, and will be held in detention to face trial.

India accuses Rana of being a member of the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) group, designated by the United Nations as a terrorist organisation, and of helping to plot the attacks.

A wedge has emerged on religious freedom. Pierre Poilievre is on the right side of it

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is making a strategic play for the all-important 905 region of Ontario by talking about … Quebec.

It’s subtle, and so far, it hasn’t resonated much beyond French-language media and ethnic media in Ontario. But a wedge is starting to emerge between Mr. Poilievre and Liberal Leader Mark Carney on laïcité: on Quebec’s Bill 21, and where the two parties stand on freedom of religious expression. And that might matter, if only as a matter of principle in some of the most diverse ridings in the country, where the Conservatives have to do well if they want a shot at forming government.

There is a strain of westerner who will defend to the death a Mohammedan’s right to slit your throat.

Hamas claims UK terror designation ‘breaches human rights’

Hamas is appealing against the UK government’s decision to designate it as a terror group by claiming that the ruling breaches the European Convention on Human Rights.

The organisation has instructed British lawyers to launch legal action in a bid to remove it from a Home Office list of terrorist organisations, which makes it a criminal offence to have any association or show support for the group in the UK.

England being England Hamas could win this case.

Labour drops plans for Muslim rape gang inquiries

Labour has dropped its plans for five local grooming gang inquiries.

In January, Yvette Cooper, the Home Secretary, told MPs that the Government would provide £5 million to support up to five initial local inquiries modelled on the judge-led one into grooming gangs in Telford.

However, on Tuesday Jess Phillips, a Home Office minister, announced that “following feedback” the Government would adopt a “flexible approach” where the money would be available for local councils to use as they wished to support grooming gang work.

This is evil.

Eurabia: if AI is more real than journalism

If you ask Wikipedia, the great lying and manipulated encyclopedia, how many Muslims there are in France, it will answer “from 3 to 5.7 million,” but the PM says there are 9 million….

I have never understood not only why Chat gpt and other kinds of AI should be used, but why anyone should read anything if there is a suspicion that there is an algorithm behind it.

Then I saw a provocative video made with AI in which they imagine the country in which, if nothing changes, European children and grandchildren will live. And it was more realistic than any newspaper article.

Paris, 2050. Thirty seconds.

Active shooter drills in Toronto? Why this synagogue says it’s adopting heightened security measures

There is a row of metal bollards at the synagogue’s entrance, guarded by security.

Inside, Temple Sinai’s team of spiritual leaders and staff have recently started doing active shooter drills.

“It’s not to make us feel safe,” said Rabbi Michael Dolgin during a recent interview in his office at the synagogue, where he’s served since the early 1990s.

“It’s to keep us safe, because we are not.”

Is Russia recruiting migrants to carry out attacks on European soil? Germany may have uncovered a ‘smoking gun’

What began as an isolated act of terror may now reveal a far-reaching plan to fracture Europe’s political landscape and tilt it toward chaos

In May last year, a 25-year-old Afghan asylum seeker called Sulaiman Ataee walked onto a German market square, drew a hunting knife, and plunged it into the far-Right activist Michael Stürzenberger.

In the 25 seconds of mayhem that followed in Mannheim, one policeman was fatally stabbed in the neck and six people who tried to intervene suffered knife wounds. Mr Stürzenberger survived – just.

Ataee was shot, arrested and charged with murder. His trial began in February

The Enemy Within: France’s Growing Terrorist Threat

In 70% of the foiled attacks, the would-be perpetrator was under the age of 21.

A terrorist attack was foiled earlier this week in northern France, involving a 19-year-old man who claimed to be acting on behalf of Daesh—the Islamic State. No fewer than six attacks have been foiled in recent months. For the minister of the interior, the real danger today is no longer an external attack but the actions of a fringe of radicalised French youth.

Johnny Rotten is right: Hamas is a gang of ‘Jew exterminators’

Johnny Rotten is revolting again. This time it’s not the monarchy or the music industry the sexagenarian Sex Pistol has in his sights. It’s the suffocating celebrity consensus that says Israel is the world’s nastiest nation and its war on Hamas is a crime against humanity. Actually, says Rotten, the Jewish nation is a pretty democratic one, and Hamas is nothing more than a bunch of ‘Jew exterminators’. And there it is, the truth, as only a punk could put it.

Mystery of Russian web searches about Mannheim attack days before it happened

Russian internet users were searching for information about a terror attack in Germany several days before it occurred, according to an investigation that suggests Moscow may have had advance knowledge of the violence.

In May last year a rejected asylum seeker from Afghanistan killed a police officer and wounded five other people with a knife in the western city of Mannheim, as he apparently sought to assassinate a far-right critic of Islam.

The Toronto Star says Jews are just like Trump and hating them is what makes us Canadian

Why Gaza matters to every Canadian in the federal election

As Canadians head into the federal election, much has been made of the key issues shaping the campaign: affordability, national security, trade and foreign relations. But one issue cuts across all of these — Gaza.

At first glance, many Canadians may see Gaza as a foreign issue, far removed from their daily lives. But it isn’t. The principles at stake in Gaza — respect for international law, human rights and the rules-based order — are the same principles that protect Canada in trade, security, and foreign policy.

Canada exists and thrives in a world where international law is respected. Our trade relationships, national security and economic stability depend on a rules-based order where smaller countries are not pushed aside by the whims of the powerful.

This is precisely why U.S. President Donald Trump is seen as a threat to Canada. His disregard for trade agreements, alliances and global norms puts Canadian industries, jobs and sovereignty at risk. The same logic applies to Gaza. If we allow powerful nations to violate international law with impunity, we weaken the very system that protects Canada’s interests.

U.K. man fired for saying terrorists who murdered 1,200 Israelis are ‘violent and disgusting’

Damon Joshua, an employee of Severn Trent Water Supply in the U.K., has been fired from his job due to a social media post he put up in observance of the one-year anniversary of the Hamas attack on innocent Israelis.

On Oct. 7, 2024, the sewage worker took to an employee website and characterized those who raped, tortured, mutilated, and murdered 1,200 Israelis as a “group of violent and disgusting terrorists.”

For mildly — one might say, timidly — stating an obvious truth, he was let go within hours.

The “moderate Muslims” and the “handful of extremists”

Forceful expression is required to correct the pernicious erosion the English language has been subjected to of late, in an onslaught that can only be described as linguistic vandalism, all in the service of rendering language a “safe space” in which lies may be dressed up as truth and truth vilified as lies, victims may be presented as perpetrators and perpetrators may masquerade as victims. The impact of this vandalism on the English language is far-reaching.

Isolated young British Muslims ‘becoming national security risk’

Isolated young British Muslims are becoming “a national security risk”, a senior Islamic figure has said.

The Gaza conflict has deepened divisions between Muslims and non-Muslims, which could allow extremism to grow on both sides, according to Sheikh Dr Muhammad bin Abdulkarim al-Issa, the Secretary General of the Muslim World League (MWL).

What Bullshit. Islam does not do integration.
