Canada’s first prosecution of an alleged ISIS woman hinges on texts to mom

As ISIS fighters and their families were surrounded and making their last stand in Syria in late 2018, a Canadian woman who was allegedly there with them sent a defiant text to her mother.

“Allah has written that victory is near,” Ammara Amjad wrote, according to the RCMP, which found her messages on a phone seized during a search of her parents’ home north of Toronto.

I stared down the ‘Blind Sheikh’ for the FBI. What’s happening today is far more dangerous

I stared down the ‘Blind Sheikh’ for the FBI. What’s happening today is far more dangerous

It was a surreal moment — here I was, an FBI agent on the Joint Terrorism Task Force, standing on a street corner in Jersey City, going jaw to jaw with the infamous spiritual leader of the Islamic Group, the “Blind Sheikh,” Omar Abdel-Rahman. An Egyptian cleric marinated in ideological hatred by the Muslim Brotherhood, the man who issued the “fatwa” to assassinate Egyptian President Anwar Sadat, now spewed forth vitriol toward me and the United States government. I knew this hatred intimately, having once dodged an irate mob of Saudi Arabian villagers who took serious offense to a cross necklace I was wearing.

Inside the tumult before Rep. Haley Stevens, a Democrat, endorsed Republican Mike Rogers in the Michigan Senate race over her former primary rival Abdul El-Sayed.

DETROIT — Democratic Rep. Haley Stevens told a longtime friend Saturday evening that she planned to attend a church service the next day in Detroit with her former rival, Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed. She even texted the friend, a senior Democrat, the church’s address.

The church service, led by Rep. James E. Clyburn (D-South Carolina), one of the country’s most powerful Black lawmakers, was meant to show unity, signal that the acrimony spilling over from a contentious primary had ended and highlight the two campaigning with Black voters, a key voting bloc that backed Stevens in the primary.

A Democrat did the right thing.

Not this one.

What the Muslim Brotherhood Plans for You if It Is Elected

What the Muslim Brotherhood Plans for You if It Is Elected

What if the Muslim Brotherhood came to power in this country or that? What would happen to the state and its institutions, to society and its freedoms, and to the democracy that enabled the Brotherhood to reach power?

I lived through the experience — and paid a price. The journey began with the dream of establishing a democratic civil state in Egypt and ended in exile, after confronting two competing projects vying for power that shared a hostility toward the civil state: the project of religious rule and the project of military rule.

BBC admits vetting failure after hosting ‘anti-Semitic’ Iran apologist

The BBC has admitted it was wrong to invite an influencer who had previously described Jewish people as “lying scumbags” to be a guest on a live television show.

Earlier this month, The Telegraph reported that Bushra Shaikh, who has been accused in the past of making remarks that were anti-Semitic and in support of the Iranian regime, appeared on BBC One’s Sunday Morning Live defending women’s right to wear burkas.

Ms Shaikh said she did not accept her views were anti-Semitic.

They Ruined Empires. They Will Do It to the USA Too

They Ruined Empires. They Will Do It to the USA Too

It is extremely important to be careful when you vote. Do not vote for people who are identified with Islamism and Islamist Sharia law. This ideology has ruined countries and empires. If Americans are not careful, it will happen in the USA. Just look at England and France.

The two countries I grew up in, Persia (Iran) and Syria were once part of great civilizations and empires. Just look at them now. The Persian Empire stood tall for thousands of years. It had depth, culture, resources, continuity. In just a few decades, however, after being taken over in 1979 by those identified with Islamic Sharia law, it was brought down into economic ruin, widespread suffering, and some of the most unspeakable human rights atrocities ever. Today, despite oil and other resources, Iran’s economy is a disaster. People suffer. Women are subjected to forced covering and endless restrictions supposedly to “protect” them. Dissent is crushed. Basic freedoms are stripped. What took centuries to build was reversed overnight.

US teen whose father arranged her marriage to Islamic State fighter convicted for weapons training

A New York woman whose father took her to Syria as a teenager and arranged her marriage to an Islamic State fighter was convicted on Tuesday of receiving weapons training from the militant group.

Prosecutors said Halima Salman, a US citizen, pledged loyalty to the extremist group and willingly participated in its activities. Jurors were shown a video of her holding an assault rifle, a photo of her with the group’s flag and loving text messages she sent her husband.

Brooklyn-based US attorney Joseph Nocella Jr said in a statement that the verdict held Salman “accountable for joining forces with a terrorist organization”.
