BRUSSELS — Belgium’s worst peacetime massacre left 32 dead and hundreds marked for life. Now, six and a half years later, Brussels will host its biggest ever criminal trial.
Jury selection begins on Wednesday ahead of hearings into the charges against the nine alleged jihadists accused of taking part in the March 2016 suicide bombings.
The case will be heard in the former headquarters of the NATO military alliance, temporarily converted into a huge high-security court complex.
You are not going to believe this. During the mid-term elections, advocacy groups gave money – a lot of money – supporting candidates they thought would be good on the issues they care about.
It’s shocking, right?
The anti-Israel group Americans for Justice in Palestine Action (AJP Action) seems to think so. It touted a “groundbreaking report” last week that showed pro-Israel groups gave money to pro-Israel candidates.
A judge has ruled that Iran’s Revolutionary Guard is a “terrorist entity” under Canadian law, adding fuel to the debate over how to deal with the branch of Tehran’s armed forces.
The Ontario Superior Court found the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) was “a listed entity” because one of its branches, the Qods Force, was already designated as such by Canada.
Why bother when our government lets them in wholesale?

There are growing concerns from Iranian-Canadians who say they are being threatened, monitored and even followed at protests and outside their homes by affiliates of the Iranian regime who are here in Canada.
“They know the view out of my apartment. They said it was a school. That I have three cats. They knew the friends that have come to my house,” said Maryam Shafipour, an Iranian activist who now lives in Canada and who is speaking out against the regime despite the dangers.
Could it have something to do with our political class liking to suck Mullah dick?
Canada Criticized For Welcoming The Rich Linked To Iranian Regime
A Muslim Brotherhood propagandist based in New York City has called for jihad both in the United States and internationally.
Bahgat Saber, a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, operates from his New York apartment and often streams live videos from Times Square. During his multi-hour videos, Saber routinely incites terrorism, assassinations, kidnapping and torture in an extremely graphic manner. The calls for violence in his videos are viewed by millions of people across the world.
An independent government agency is reviewing how Canada’s spy agency handles human sources after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau promised in August to follow up on claims that an ISIS member who was also working as a CSIS operative smuggled three British teenagers into Syria in 2015.
The three teens — Shamima Begum, Amira Abase, both 15, and Kadiza Sultana, 16 — left east London for Syria in 2015. Sultana and Abase are believed to be dead. Begum is at a detention camp in northeastern Syria.
Shamima Begum joined IS with eyes open, UK lawyer says
Fear-mongering about ‘Islamophobia’ must not get in the way of confronting terrorism.
Islamist terror remains the largest terror threat to the UK, by a significant margin. According to MI5 director general Ken McCallum, who gave his annual threat update last week, Islamists make up three-quarters of the MI5’s terrorist caseload. Yet despite this, it seems there is a widespread reluctance not only to acknowledge this threat, but also to name it.
Shamima Begum was at ‘low risk’ of being trafficked to Syria where she joined ISIS and there is no evidence the authorities failed her before she fled the UK, a court has heard.
Ms Begum, 23, who is living in a Syrian camp, is challenging the Home Office’s decision to remove her British citizenship, with her lawyers arguing that the department had a legal duty to investigate whether she was a victim of trafficking when the decision was made.
Schaerbeek, Belgium has ten churches, twelve mosques, and once had a Jewish quarter, but the Jews are all gone.
All over the world, the Christian community is the target of persecution by Islamic fundamentalists. Between January and October 2022 alone, 4,020 Christians were massacred by jihadists in Nigeria, reveals a report from the Intersociety. 2,315 Christians were kidnapped in the same period. An average of 13 deaths and 8 kidnappings per day. 231 were killed in captivity due to their refusal to convert to Islam.
Christians are killed at the cry of “Allahu Akbar”, the same cry heard in a city of the crown of Brussels this week, where a policeman was killed by an Islamic terrorist.
Shamima Begum, who left the UK for Syria as a teenager to join the Islamic State group, was a victim of human trafficking for the purposes of sexual exploitation, a court has heard.
Ms Begum travelled to Syria in 2015, with her citizenship stripped on national security grounds in 2019.
A five-day immigration hearing is considering a new attempt to challenge the removal of her UK citizenship.
The Home Office insists she continues to pose a threat to national security.
Bullshit.
Callac as a microcosm of an immense question of civilization now at stake in Europe.
A small town nestled among cow pastures. The café run by a social club, abandoned buildings, only elderly around. So when city council members heard about a program to “rejuvenate” the city, it seemed like a winning lottery ticket.
We are in Brittany, France, but we could be in Italy.
Except that what city leaders saw as an opportunity for rejuvenation, for others was evidence of a “Great Replacement” of French natives. The theory of the “Great Replacement” came to Renaud Camus during a visit to one of these small country towns, Vémars, in the Val d’Oise, at the home of François Mauriac. Camus saw the suburbs with veiled women, the aesthetic change of the province.
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said when he becomes Speaker of the House again he’ll boot “Squad” member Rep. Ilhan Omar from her position on the House Foreign Affairs Committee over “anti-Semitic” remarks.
Canada’s spy agency is actively investigating what it calls multiple “credible” death threats from Iran aimed at individuals in Canada, CBC News has learned.
The Canadian Security Intelligence Service said it’s aware of state actors from the Islamic Republic of Iran monitoring and intimidating people inside Canada to silence those who speak out publicly against the regime.
“CSIS is actively investigating several threats to life emanating from the Islamic Republic of Iran based on credible intelligence,” CSIS spokesperson Eric Balsam said in a media statement to CBC News.
Given we import regime sympathizers how could anyone be surprised.
Two thugs who took part in a “terrifying” group attack on a stranger who they branded a “white b****rd” have been spared jail.
Urfan Amjad, 23, and Fahim Shukat, 20, were part of a group of four men, who smashed a beer bottle on the victim’s head and used the shards to “try to stab him”, while kicking and punching him.
