Imam Sentenced to 14 Years in Prison over Fatwa Against Geert Wilders

Kathy and Geert Wilders

In a landmark case, the Netherlands has sentenced two Pakistanis to prison for calling on their followers to murder Dutch populist leader Geert Wilders.

The court in The Hague sentenced 56-year-old Imam Muhammad Ashraf Asif Jalali to 14 years in prison over his issuing of a fatwa death warrant on the head of Party for Freedom (PVV) leader Geert Wilders, who now serves as the main power broker behind the Dutch government, for his role in promoting cartoon contests featuring caricatures of Mohammed.

How ‘financialized’ landlords may be contributing to rising rents in Canada

Starlight Investments is Canada’s largest landlord, with more than 54,000 units nationwide and 68,000 globally. Starlight was granted approval by Ontario’s Landlord and Tenant Board to raise the rent above provincial guidelines twice in the last two years. Alibi says this makes his unit no longer affordable for him.

“They should not be allowed to get away with this. They just keep coming to take and take and take,” he said.

… He and dozens of other tenants from his and two adjacent buildings — including 71, 75 and 79 Thorncliffe Park Drive in north Toronto — have joined forces in a rent strike since May 2023 to protest the Above Guideline Increases (AGIs) after the second one was issued to tenants earlier that year.


Thorncliffe Park … home of the Mosqueteria, the largest Muslim ghetto in Toronto.

I wonder if for votes a local pol will not come to their rescue.

Au revoir, France: your synagogues and churches are burned

This week I read a chilling article by historian Marc Knobel about burned synagogues. Meanwhile, in France, a church burns every two weeks, while 15 mosques go up.

Just a week ago, a man with a Palestinian flag and a keffiyeh set fire to the Beth Yaacov synagogue in La Grande-Motte, in the south of the country. In May, they burned the synagogue in Rouen.

And this week I read a chilling article by historian Marc Knobel about burned synagogues:

“It all started on October 1, 2000. What happened that day? A synagogue in the 19th arrondissement of Paris receives threats. A Molotov cocktail is thrown into the courtyard of the synagogue. The same day, a Molotov cocktail is thrown into a kosher restaurant in Paris. And, during the service, an unknown person leaves another in the courtyard of the Chnei Or school in Aubervilliers.

UK: Starmer’s Dictatorship?

Britain’s new leader, Prime Minister Keir Starmer, in the tried-and-true way of Communist dictators, has begun his first term by initiating a great purge of British dissidents.

British protesters, denounced as “far right thugs,” are being put behind bars faster than the prison services can absorb. More than 1,000 people who have been arrested and more than 500 charged, are waiting for their court appearances in police holding cells: prisons have run out of space. As in the most expert dictatorship, even children and grandfathers have been arrested by the police for “rioting”. The youngest child arrested and charged is just 11 years old.

UK: Police too Slow to Arrest ‘Jihad‘ Protesters at Gaza Rallies Says Top Cop

London’s police were too slow to arrest at the endless series of Palestine protests that followed the October 7th terror attacks on Israel last year and would act more quickly now, a senior officer has said.

Talking tough after the fact is hardly inspiring of trust.

Thwarted terrorist plot shows Canadian intelligence isn’t up to the task

It makes for grim reading, the criminal complaint filed by a federal prosecutor in New York City, ripe with details about a thwarted plot by a devotee of the Islamic State group to massacre Jews after slipping across the border from Canada.

Alarming content in the wake of another recent arrest — an accused Egyptian-born father and son terrorist combo — allegedly conspiring to slaughter civilians in Toronto, in the service of Islamic State. A father who somehow managed to slither through security screening, claiming asylum, granted a visa, then permanent residency status, then Canadian citizenship (in May) before a gruesome video surfaced of the now 62-year-old Ahmed Fouad Mostafa Eldidi allegedly dismembering a prisoner with a sword.

‘The demon was me’: Toronto 18 ringleader’s new book offers rare glimpse inside the mind of a convicted terrorist

Zakaria Amara would like to be forgiven.

Forgiven by Canadians. By Muslims. By his family. Even by the men he conspired with to commit atrocities.

“I ask the Canadian public to forgive me for betraying their trust and welcoming arms,” he wrote in a newly released, self-published book.

Islam’s Psychopathic Bullies

In recent days, various Israeli former captives of the Muslim Brotherhood (Hamas) in the Gaza Strip have gone public in the Israeli media with their ordeal, and their reportage is uniform. Every one of their different captors comes across as a psychopathic bully. Being kidnapped and becoming a hostage to Muslims means more than just loss of freedom; it means constant, 24-7 abuse, punishment physical and psychological, in particular, endless humiliation.

New details emerge on Iranian-backed plot to potentially assassinate Trump, Haley or Biden

Four days after former President Donald Trump came inches from death during a campaign rally, federal investigators interviewed a man charged in an Iran-backed plot to potentially assassinate the 45th president or two of his political rivals — President Biden or former Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley, according to an FBI document made public Thursday.

Asif Merchant, 46, a Pakistani man charged in the scheme, recounted his dealings with handler Mehardad Yousef, according to a proffer agreement released by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), who obtained it from law enforcement whistleblowers.

Suspended Labour councillor denies encouraging violent disorder

A suspended Labour councillor has pleaded not guilty to encouraging violent disorder while addressing a crowd during an anti-racism demonstration in east London.

Ricky Jones, 57, allegedly committed the offence during a speech to a gathering that was organised in response to the nationwide violent disorder, in Hoe Street, Walthamstow, on 7 August.

A video emerged after the protest in which he appeared to call for far-right protesters’ throats to be “cut” during the demonstration. Jones was charged by police with encouraging violent disorder two days later.

He claims he didn’t know that was a bad thing to say.

Hamilton resident Omar Abugalib has been charged with theft under $5,000, possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, three counts of assault with a weapon, assault with intent to resist arrest and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle.

Halton Regional Police Service (HRPS) said two people were injured during an incident at a Fortinos’ grocery store at 2515 Appleby Line yesterday (Sept. 4) at around 2 p.m.

“We responded to what was a theft, and the person responsible produced an edged weapon or knife,” HRPS Staff Sgt. Peter Bishop said. “Other members of the public intervened prior to police arriving. I believe there was a minor injury that occurred when the citizens went to intervene. There was another party who had intervened who also received a minor injury.”
