A British Islamic State terrorist will have to be released in days despite still being considered a potential risk to the public.
Mohammed Uddin, then 30, was jailed in 2016 for seven-years after pleading guilty to trying to join ISIS in Syria.
The former security guard, from Barking in Essex, now aged 37, traveled through Turkey to join his terror heroes in Syria but then tried to sneak back into Britain when he became disillusioned with jihadi life and was arrested.
Billions of dollars belonging to former Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi are sitting in Canadian bank accounts almost 12 years after his death, says a former diplomat.
Fathi Baja, who served as Libya’s ambassador to Canada from 2013 to 2017, said he kept confidential documents containing financial details about the cash stockpile after he was fired from his envoy job in Ottawa. Citing the risk of corruption, Mr. Baja said he plans to safeguard those financial records in Libya until the North African country has a democratically elected government.
Away back in 2010 this blog uncovered a real estate partnership between Edmonton’s “Canada’s Islamic Society” and Gadafhi’s WICS (World Islamic Call Society)
WICS had it’s charitable status revoked in 2011 but Gaddafi’s local partners and their affiliates soldier on and in fact received tax payer dollars for security enhancements of their facilities under the Security Infrastructure Program for “Communities at Risk.”
In the 1st quarter of 2010 the Arabian Muslim Association and the Edmonton Islamic Academy received $69,008.00 & $30,096.00 respectively under the federal government’s “Communities at Risk: Security Infrastructure Pilot (SIP) Program.”
The country’s riots cannot be explained away by socio-economic woes alone.
The most destructive, spectacular and costly riots in France’s recent history, surpassing even the infamous unrest of 2005, are over. To the Anglophone media and its audiences they were an expression of the anger felt among the children of France’s former overseas possessions – a generational resentment fuelled by experiences of poverty, discrimination and painful colonial legacies.
Others have noted the opportunistic, even recreational quality of rioting, but the anger – the rage – against France among parts of its youth is real and goes deeper than one specific event.
OIC: strategy:”The Ummah began with one person, the Prophet. The success of a Muslim minority is to one day become a majority.”
When she died in 2007, Oriana Fallaci was on trial in Bergamo, Italy. A judge had seen fit to send the writer to trial on charges of. “Contempt for the Islamic religion”. The magistrate had argued that some sentences in her books are “unequivocally offensive to Islam”. An arrest warrant was also issued from Switzerland. If my friend Oriana were alive today, perhaps we would see her with shackles on her wrists.
During the period when the Saudi Supreme Court (which is not really a supreme court, but more a congregation of imams) gave the green light to a thousand lashes and ten years in prison for the liberal blogger Raif Badawi, guilty of having “offended Islam,” a delegation of United Nations bureaucrats landed in Jeddah to promote an “international conference on religious freedom”. No, this is not a joke.
The UN special rapporteur on counter-terrorism and human rights says Canada is putting the lives of its citizens at risk by not helping to return them from prisons in Syria.
“It is inconceivable for any country, including Canada, to leave its vulnerable children in these camps for a day longer than they should be,” said Fionnuala Ní Aoláin in an interview airing Saturday on CBC’s The House.
The UN special rapporteur also accused the Canadian government of hypocrisy, arguing that its actions on citizens in Syria devalued other efforts on the international stage.
They made their choice.
A Syrian man accused of leading a pro-government militia in Tadamon, a Damascus neighbourhood that was the site of a massacre of civilians in 2013 filmed by its perpetrators and revealed by the Guardian last year, has been arrested in northern Germany.
The suspect, identified as Ahmad H in line with German privacy rules, is the first person to be detained in connection with crimes in Tadamon, where militia and soldiers loyal to the Syrian president, Bashar al-Assad, brutalised the local population – recording some of their acts – in the early years of the country’s civil war.
He is accused of crimes against humanity and war crimes including torture and enslavement, prosecutors said on Thursday.
A father who beat his daughter outside her school during a row over a boy has been spared jail after she gave an emotional courtroom plea for mercy.
Delivery driver Hussein Alinzi, 59, battered the 15-year-old with a metal bar on the morning of her English GCSE exam when he dropped her off early at the gates of the Whalley Range High School to find them still locked.
During the assault Alinzi accused his daughter of secretly planning to a meet a boy ahead of the exam and berated her for wearing makeup. But it later emerged the real reason she did so was to cover up the bruises he had inflicted on her.
Women in the southern French city of Lyon are reportedly facing sexual harassment from men on a near-daily basis. They go without make-up, change their preferred attire, and even avoid certain areas of the city to live their daily lives in peace.
Several women have shared their experiences living in the city and having their mobility hampered, whether travelling by public transport or simply walking down the street. They told the news platform Actu about their day-to-day lives in Lyon.
France faces an “immense” challenge, President Macron said after disclosing that three quarters of the children prosecuted over this summer’s riots were from single-parent families or in social care.
In an interview with Le Figaro’s weekly magazine, Macron said the figure underlined a breakdown of authority and a decline of trust in parents and schoolteachers, but also in democratic institutions.
His comments were an attempt to flesh out the Elysée’s view that parental failings lay behind the worst urban violence in France for 18 years.
He went to the Justin Trudeau school of crappy lying.
“There is a Mossad spy who is desecrating Islamic sanctities under the protection of the Swedish police, in a manner that constitutes an insulting and offensive challenge to the two billion Muslims in the world,” the Hezbollah leader said.
Stressing that there was no longer any point for Muslim youth to wait for governments and organizations to take action, Nasrallah said, “They must assume their responsibilities and punish more severely those who abuse the Quran.”
It is worth pausing over every murder that goes on in this city. But a brutal killing this week deserves special attention.
Not least because it tells us something it appears we don’t want to know.
O’Shae Sibley was a talented 28-year-old dancer and choreographer.
He was stabbed to death last Saturday night at a gas station in Brooklyn.
The Guardia Civil and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police have dismantled a terrorist network supporting DAESH, which culminated, with the arrest of a 34-year-old suspect in Toronto for their involvement in several terrorist offences, on Tuesday, August 1.
The joint operation originated from a Guardia Civil investigation in 2020 when an individual was arrested in San Vicente del Raspeig, Alicante, for his involvement in terrorism offences. This individual was sentenced to six years in prison for the crimes of self-training and financing of terrorism.
It might soon be illegal in Denmark to make fun of Islam. Seriously. In response to a spate of Koran burnings – in both Denmark and its neighbour, Sweden – the Danish foreign ministry has issued an extraordinary statement. A statement that should chill the blood of all who believe in free speech. The state might soon have to start intervening, it said, in situations where ‘other countries, cultures and religions are being insulted’. In short, a Dane’s right to mock all nations, gods, prophets and ideas might have to be sacrificed at the altar of protecting people’s feelings. This represents a deadly blow to freedom of expression.
In 1766, Sweden enacted its landmark Press Freedom Act, becoming the first country in the world to implement such protections. In 1770, Denmark outpaced this achievement by formally abolishing all forms of censorship. Despite intermittent setbacks, these pioneering acts cultivated a vibrant culture of free expression. The Scandinavian countries evolved into global symbols of democracy, freedom, equality and prosperity, underpinned by socially liberal and secular values. However, on Sunday Denmark and Sweden undermined these core values by yielding to pressure from some of the world’s most politically authoritarian and religiously oppressive states.
You may have heard about the Muslim terrorist attack in Fargo, North Dakota that the media tried to bury.
Mohamad Barakat packed three long guns, four handguns and a vest with magazines in every pocket, as he drove through Fargo, North Dakota. The Downtown Street fair, which claims over 150,000 visitors, was on its second day and 5 minutes away.
