Openly gay Belgian MP Gilles Verstraeten has suggested that he is fearful of holding hands with another man in the no-go Brussels suburb of Molenbeek, claiming integration of migrants has been poorly managed.

Terror prosecutions of Muslims back in UK from Syria not counted
The government does not record the number of people prosecuted for terror offences after returning to the UK from Syria, an official report says.
The data is held neither “officially or unofficially”, an annual review by the independent reviewer of terrorism legislation, Jonathan Hall QC, says.
Figures previously provided to Parliament by ministers later had to be clarified.
Mr Hall’s report instead relies on BBC News research on the subject.
It is known that hundreds of people have returned to the UK after joining terrorist groups in Syria but the cumulative figure given in public is ambiguous.
Last year, the director general of MI5 said “over 950 UK-linked extremists” had travelled to Syria.
I do not trust the Trudeau government to be honest on this matter.
Daughter of US hostage killed by Isis ‘Beatle’ in Syria tells him to ‘go to hell’ as he’s sentenced to life in jail
The daughter of a British man killed by an ISIS terrorist who was part of the cell known as The Beatles told him to ‘go to hell’ after he was sentenced to life in federal prison Friday.
Bethany Haines walked up to Alexanda Kotey in the Alexandria, Virginia, court and pointed her finger as she said: ‘Why don’t you go rot in hell.’
Kotey did not react and walked out of the room where he and El Shafee Elsheikh, another member of The Beatles, had been forced to listen to agonizing victim impact statements.
“Calgary man”
Calgary man admits to terrorism charges related to Islamic State
CALGARY — A Calgary man has pleaded guilty to terrorism-related activities with the militant group Islamic State.
RCMP arrested Hussein Borhot in July 2020 after a seven-year investigation.
He was charged with three counts of participating in terrorism group activity as well as with commission of an offence for a terrorist group.
Intelligence agency needs to keep a closer watch on extremism in prisons, report says
Canada’s spies could be doing a better job of investigating extremism in the prison system, says an internal report.
The document, obtained through an access to information request, emerged from a behind-the-scenes review of how the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) and the RCMP share information.
“One of the concerns we have is the lack of coverage over persons convicted of terrorism offences once they are in jail,” says the report. It was written by two national security lawyers tasked by the RCMP and CSIS with making recommendations to deal with information-sharing bottlenecks in the national security intelligence sphere.
Rehab vs radicalisation: how to stop Islamists spreading their poison on the prison estate
By announcing the raft of measures to tackle Islamist radicalisation in the prison system, the UK government is stepping up its focus on bread-and-butter matters of governance and security.
In a new drive to tackle extremism in British prisons, Justice Secretary and deputy prime minister Dominic Raab has declared that the government plans to upscale the separation of particularly dangerous and influential terrorists into specialist units in order to ‘thwart the spread of their poisonous ideology’.
What did Macron promise Muslims to get their votes?
For votes, just to give one example, communities obtain the necessary permits to open mega mosques. France flubbed its last chance.
“Is the Muslim vote decisive?”, the Algerian writer Kamel Daoud asked himsel in the French weekly Le Point. Yes, judging by Macron’s victory (85 per cent of Muslims voted for him) and seeing what had happened the week before the second round vote.
Speaking with The New York Times, Éric Coquerel, an MP from Mélenchon’s party who won 69 percent of the Islamic vote in the first round, said Muslim voters would benefit Macron. For Julien Talpin, sociologist at the National Center for Scientific Research, the mobilization of Muslims is “something completely new”.

Prison terrorism: Warnings over failure to stop radicalisation
The prison service has failed to recognise the dangers Islamist gangs and convicted terrorists pose inside jail, a report warns.
The independent reviewer of terrorist legislation, Jonathan Hall QC, said prisons must not provide opportunities for militants to plan new attacks.
But the service had “lost its role in the national endeavour to reduce the risk of terrorism”.
The Ministry of Justice said it was committed to isolating radicalisers.
Ilhan Omar Finds a New Way to Attack Freedom of Speech
War in Ukraine, an essentially nonexistent Southern border, out-of-control inflation, rising crime, deep societal divisions, and what does the de facto leader of the Democrat Party, Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Islamabad), who can always be counted on to have her finger on the pulse of the American people, decide to tackle? Why, “Islamophobia,” of course. Come on, man! Is there something more important that she could be focusing on? “Islamophobia” is, after all, a free speech issue. The only problem is that Omar is on the wrong side.
‘Long Overdue’: Rep. Elise Stefanik Confirms Investigation Of FBI’s Role In Deadly Limo Crash
… The limousine crash, which occurred on Oct. 6, 2018, killed 20 people, including 17 passengers, the driver and two bystanders, according to New York State Police. The owner of the limousine company, Shahed Hussain, was a long-time FBI informant who allegedly “lied on tax returns and immigration papers, misled FBI handlers, committed bankruptcy fraud, and racked up hotel code violations and tens of thousands in unpaid property taxes with no consequences,” according to Stefanik.
Raheel Raza: As a practising Muslim, I find Al-Quds Day abhorrent
On April 24, there was an anti-Israel rally in downtown Toronto, at which participants could be heard shouting “God is great” after it was announced that Israel had been hit by two rockets. Such hate-filled events are not uncommon in Toronto, as we witness every year at the Al-Quds Day parade. As a practising Muslim observing the sanctity of the holy month of Ramadan — which is about contemplation, reflection and the renewal of our ethics and morals — I feel I must speak out.
If you are one of those who have self-righteously preached to the rest of us about the benefits of diversity and multiculturalism then don’t act shocked.
You reap what you sow.
Enjoy your Islamophobia!
Documents reveal bin Laden’s bid for American support
New translations of Osama bin Laden’s personal documents show that the intention behind 9/11 was not only to kill Americans, but to incite U.S. protests, like those seen during the Vietnam War.
These documents, first recovered in the 2011 raid on bin Laden’s compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, have been declassified since 2017, but were unorganized and mostly untranslated, until now. The letters offer one of the closest looks yet into the mind of America’s most infamous terrorist.
In ‘grey zone’ of national security, Islamist terrorist suspects face no charges but can’t leave Canada
To Canadian national security officials, Samy Nefkha-Bahri is a supporter of “armed jihad abroad,” who had “dubious associations” and wanted to take part in “combat in Syria.”
Classified government reports obtained by Global News allege he led a group that was preparing to travel “for the purpose of participating in the activities of a terrorist group.”
But instead of arresting and charging the Montreal resident, federal officials grounded him: they denied him a passport “to prevent the commission of a terrorism offence.”
