Urooj Rahman is an attorney, not a bartender, but she knows her cocktails. She tossed a Molotov cocktail at an NYPD cruiser during the 2020 George Floyd riots in New York City. But now, in asking for a light sentence, she is serving up a different cocktail: vodka with a dash of Islamophobia. And really, it’s the Islamophobia that gives it its flavor.
… But it also showed something else — how out of touch the Trudeau government has managed to get on the issue of how to deal with Tehran, at political risk to itself.
It was notable in Richmond Hill that the new Conservative leader, Pierre Poilievre, managed to make sure he was front and centre before the assembled thousands, denouncing both the Iranian regime and the government’s failure to put sanctions on Tehran’s notorious Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
Justin’s handlers know that support for Iran’s regime is strong among the Shia Muslim community in Canada and particularly within the GTA, a key piece of the LPC’s strength.
Estimates are up to one quarter of Canada’s Muslims are Shia.

Belgian academic and economist Philippe Van Parijs explained to the newspaper De Standaard what happens when you lose national identity. “Brussels can no longer be called Belgium,” said Van Parijs, adding that the rest of Belgium is becoming more and more like Brussels.
Philippe Van Parijs had conducted a demographic study. His discoveries will surprise only those who want to remain blind. In ten years, the percentage of Brussels residents who have both parents with Belgian citizenship has gone down from just 36 to 26 percent. “There are more Brussels residents of Moroccan origin than Flemings or Walloons”.
In the past few days, the European Parliament has voted to isolate (when to expel?) Viktor Orbán’s Hungary. The real clash between Brussels and Budapest is over immigration. Not to all immigration, as Hungary welcomed 15,000 Ukrainians in a single day. No, only Islamic immigration.
It was a night that Leicester will not forget. Although tensions between sections of the Muslim and Hindu communities had been building since May, the scale of disturbances caught local authorities off guard, sending shockwaves all the way to India.
Violence, in which 16 police officers were injured while holding the line between rival groups of young men, has served a warning of how extremist agendas are blowing in from elsewhere, threatening a relatively harmonious tradition of multicultural coexistence.
France to close another mosque, bringing total mosques closed 24
PARIS (AA): France announced it will close another mosque, accusing the imam of being radicalized, according to media reports Wednesday.
The Interior Ministry has started the process of closing the Obernai Mosque in the Bas-Rhin area, according to French BFM TV and Le Figaro.
Interior Minister Gerald Darmanin said on Twitter that 23 “separatist places of worship” have been closed in the past two years.
He added that the closures came after a request by the president to fight “Islamist separatism.”
“Islamist separatism” that’s a very telling term.
But the numbers don’t lie … A total of 22,000 people are under surveillance by the country’s intelligence services of which 4,600 are foreigners, said the minister.
Out of the 4,600 foreigners, there are 1,200 foreigners that are actively under surveillance, and 780 foreigners were deported during the last four years, he added.
The barbarians are inside the gates …
French Intelligence Reveals Social Media Pushing Islam at School
With the start of the new school year, Islamist threats are once again hovering over French schools, according to two successive memos issued by the Inter-ministerial Committee for the Prevention of Delinquency and Radicalisation and Territorial Intelligence, one dated August 27th and the other, September 16th.
Any suggestion racism played a part in Sgt. Andrew Harnett’s traffic stop of a Calgary teen charged with the officer’s murder was a figment of the accused killer’s imagination, a prosecutor said Thursday.
Crown lawyer Mike Ewenson said there was nothing in the conduct of Harnett and two other officers who arrived on the scene to show the teen feared he was being racially profiled.
American Islamists rushed to offer tributes this week to a radical Egyptian cleric and spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood who had a long-established support for violent jihad and murdering Jews.
The most senior intelligence officer in charge of covert operations at the Canadian Security Intelligence Service went to Ankara in March, 2015, to persuade Turkish authorities to stay silent about the agency’s recruitment of a Syrian human smuggler who trafficked three British teenage girls to Islamic State militants, according to three sources.
The sources said the officer, Jeffrey Yaworski, who was at the time CSIS’s deputy director of operations, was carrying out a discreet but high-level campaign to prevent the spy agency from being publicly blamed for using the smuggler as an operative. The Globe is not identifying the sources because they were not authorized to discuss national security matters.
The outlet has failed to acknowledge the role of Islamism in the conflict
The events over the past few weeks in Leicester and, more recently, Smethwick have drawn attention to an under-discussed ideology: Hindutva. This is a system of beliefs that encompasses three elements: 1) Hindu rashtra (nation), 2) Hindu jati (race) and 3) Hindu sanskriti (civilisation), which was crafted in the early 1900s. In essence, it is designed as a way of life for Hindus, devout and non-devout, as well as atheist Hindus.
Fury erupted today over the ‘special treatment’ handed to a British ISIS ‘Beatle’ who killed four hostages as it emerged he would be spared spending the rest of his life in an American supermax prison after concerns were raised about his mental health.
El Shafee Elsheikh, 34, or ‘Ringo’ will allegedly not be jailed in solitary confinement at ADX Florence in Colorado – but instead he’ll spend his sentence at a less restrictive prison on the same site known as USP Florence High.
Elsheikh, from West London, received eight life sentences after committing ‘some of the most barbaric terrorist acts ever seen’ as part of the twisted ‘ISIS Beatles’ group which captured, tortured and killed a group of journalists and aid workers in Syria in 2014.
A Muslim inmate must be exempt from strip searches by a female prison guard who identifies as a transgender man, a federal appeals court has ruled.
But everyone else gets felt up by the tranny?
WITH the passing of Her Majesty the Queen, the sins of Britain and its Empire, real or imagined, have inevitably been in the news again. Something called ‘Irish Twitter’ (which one suspects is about as in tune with Irish public opinion as Twitter is with public opinion generally), has been foaming at the mouth about the Irish potato famine of 1845-49 being a deliberate act of genocide, a view of history that even the most rabid Irish republican tends not to believe.
The bulldozer has become a symbol of oppression in India. Its appearance in a New Jersey parade has exposed fault lines between the region’s Hindu and Muslim communities.
EDISON, N.J. — The India Day Parade featured a pretty standard lineup of festival fare.
A Bollywood actress waved to fans from the top of a handmade float. Indian flags fluttered in the breeze. Flashy cars and quirky ads (“Kidney donors are sexy,” read one) passed by.
Then, toward the middle of the caravan, came a small yellow bulldozer, decorated with photos of India’s prime minister and a hard-line protégé.

OSLO, Sept 26 (Reuters) – Norwegian police said on Monday two men had been arrested on Sunday on suspicion of involvement in a mass shooting that killed two people and wounded 21 in and around an Oslo gay bar in June.
A Somali citizen in his 40s and a Norwegian one in his 30s, each with prior involvement in criminal activity, were arrested by police on Sunday, Oslo police said in a statement.
Police last week said its hypothesis that the shooting was an act of terrorism had been strengthened during its investigation.
