Six injured in ISIS inspired ‘terror attack’ in Auckland

A known extremist was responsible for a terror attack in Auckland which has seen six people injured, three of whom are in critical condition, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said on Friday evening.

The man was shot and killed by members of a police Special Tactics Group within 60 seconds of the attack beginning, Ardern said. He was a Sri Lankan national who came to New Zealand in October 2011 and has been considered a “person of national security interest” from 2016.

Ardern said she was limited in what more she could share about the man as a result of suppression orders made by the court, although a spokesman for the Prime Minister later confirmed the Crown was “seeking the court’s urgent lifting of the suppression orders, which will be filed this [Friday] evening”.

Seems he was a known unknown – ‘Violent extremist’ responsible for mall terrorist attack was ‘known threat to New Zealand’

Islamic State ‘Beatle’ to plead guilty to U.S. terrorism charges

WASHINGTON, Sept 2 (Reuters) – A British-born man who was a member of a team of Islamic State militants in Syria nicknamed “The Beatles” accused of beheading American hostages was due to plead guilty on Thursday to U.S. criminal charges, according to a federal court record.

A docket entry for the U.S. District Court in Alexandria, Virginia, showed a change of plea hearing was scheduled on Thursday for Alexanda Kotey, one of two Islamic State members who had been held in Iraq by the U.S. military before being flown to the United States to face trial on terrorism charges.

UK: Welcome to the Medieval Era of 2021

Advocates of multi-culturalism demand not only that we should accept sweeping changes to our cultural landscape, but also that we should be far more welcoming of some of the medieval customs, traditions, and religious laws it has taken much of the world — often at great cost in the irrevocable currency of life as well as treasure — centuries to get rid of.

SULTANI: Shame on Monsef for calling Taliban ‘our brothers’

In a morning briefing on Afghanistan, Maryam Monsef, Canada’s Minister for Women and Gender Equality called the Taliban her “brothers” and asked them to allow Canadians to get to the Kabul airport in order to leave the country. After facing heavy criticism, Monsef is defending herself on the grounds that she used “brothers” in a cultural context.

As a Canadian who moved to this country as an Afghan refugee, I want to be very clear, there is no cultural context in which calling the Taliban “brothers” is acceptable. Words carry meaning, and meanings imply moral positions.

Huh? Haven’t we been lectured that the bloodthirsty Taliban and their ilk are in no way Muslim? Well Maryam Monsef corrects that erroneous assumption!

University of Michigan Professor: Taliban Doesn’t Equal Islam, News Coverage ‘Disserves a Great Religion’

Well, this was inevitable: As the Taliban have taken power in Afghanistan and declared their intention to impose Islamic law, the American establishment media has swung into action, ready as always to exonerate Islam of all responsibility for the crimes done in its name and in accord with its teachings. And so it was that USA Today on Saturday published an article by one Hamid Khan, whose résumé is as predictable as it is revealing: He is “an adjunct professor of Islamic law at the University of Michigan Law, a national security fellow with the Truman National Security Project and an attorney with the U.S. government.” Of course he is. And he is here to tell us that the “Taliban doesn’t equal Islam,” and to complain that “news coverage of Afghanistan disserves a great religion.”

Does hate crime no longer matter?

Two shocking attacks allegedly carried out by Muslims have not caused a storm. We need to talk about why.

Imagine if footage emerged showing a white man attacking people in a Muslim-populated part of town. Imagine if CCTV images showed the man punching a visibly Muslim elderly man in the face without provocation. Imagine if someone’s dashcam then captured this same bloke assaulting a Muslim child.

Police warning after city mosque manager sparks fury over Taliban prayers Facebook post

Police have quizzed the manager of one of Birmingham’s biggest mosques after he posted a Facebook message appearing to praise Taliban leaders in prayer during the capture of Kabul.

The post sparked fury among some worshippers, who include Afghan refugees who fled the Taliban regime 20 years ago. One mosque attendee has withdrawn his child from planned Islam classes because of it.


Why praise a Foreign Taliban? Birmingham has its own homegrown variant!

UK Sharia Council scholar says Taliban views on women misrepresented and ‘every Muslim I know’ is celebrating their return

‘We should give them a chance’: UK Sharia Council scholar says the Taliban have ‘grown up’ and ‘every Muslim I know’ is celebrating their return as she accuses Western media of ‘misrepresenting’ their views on women’s rights

A UK Islamic Sharia Council scholar has claimed that the Taliban have ‘grown up’ and British Muslims are ‘celebrating’ the return of the jihadi group to power.

Since taking over Afghanistan, the jihadi group has claimed it will not carry out violence against women, and will not ‘seek vengeance’ on those who stood against them during the brutal 20-year war in the region.

Sharia Council scholar Khola Hasan today told BBC Radio 4 that the Islamist group’s recent posturing on women’s rights was a ‘good start’, and ‘every single person that I know, as a Muslim’ was ‘celebrating’ their return.

This can’t happen in Canada because we imported “Magic Islam.”

Islamic Religious Authority Anjem Choudary is using encrypted phone app Telegram – favoured by ISIS terrorists – to spread poison online

Hate preacher Anjem Choudary is secretly posting vile messages to his followers on an encrypted smartphone app favoured by Islamic State terrorists, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.

The extremist imam, who called the 9/11 hijackers ‘magnificent martyrs’ and radicalised the killers of soldier Lee Rigby, is sending messages on the Telegram app after he was banned by Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp for violating hate-speech rules.

Choudary told his Telegram followers last week that Britain is a ‘police state’ and preached that Muslims are having their freedoms taken away ‘under the guise of counter-terrorism’.
