A former Islamic extremist has lodged a complaint with police, accusing his parents of radicalising him as a child.
The 29-year-old’s case could lead to the first prosecution of its kind in the UK, but experts fear that current legislation may not allow charges to be brought.
The man, who is British-born of Pakistani origin, alleges his parents began radicalising him from the age of five after falling under the influence of a fundamentalist branch of Islam known as Salafism.
Few have the courage and audacity of Ayaan Hirsi Ali, who has consistently challenged both the extremely conservative cultural norms in Islamic societies and the radical leftism rising in the West today. Her background—as a Somali refugee growing up in a Muslim household, as a politician in the Netherlands, and as a citizen and scholar in the United States—has given her a unique perspective in exploring these complex issues. Her new book, Prey: Immigration, Islam, and the Erosion of Women’s Rights, looks at the alarming rise of sexual violence across Europe in the wake of mass migration from Africa and the Middle East. I had the privilege of sitting down with her recently to discuss the arguments she raises in the book.
When Usman Khan was convicted for being part of a plot to bomb the London Stock Exchange, the judge was under no illusion about the serious danger he posed to society.
Mr Justice Wilkie singled him out from other extremists on trial because he was clearly a devious and scheming man dedicated to his extremist ideology.
The judge said that even after serving a lengthy custodial sentence, Khan would continue to pose a ‘significant risk to the public’ because he was ‘working towards a more ambitious and more serious jihadist agenda’.
From the prison where Zakaria Amara endures his life sentence, the leader of a terrorist plot to explode huge truck bombs in Ontario said the atrocities of ISIL jihadists drove him to re-evaluate and reject his radical beliefs, making him ready for release from prison.
Amara’s appeals of a personal transformation over 15 years behind bars, however, were not enough to warrant his release, the Parole Board of Canada told him after a lengthy and sometimes emotional hearing Friday.
Hamburg – Was it the act of a mentally ill person or a terrorist attack?
Major alarm with a fatal outcome on the corner of Hebebrandstrasse and Sengelmannstrasse: a man keeps walking down the road with a knife, threatening motorists.
He damages vehicles with his gun, shouts “Allahu Akbar” several times! Then he goes off on alerted police officers.
A patrol officer shoots. The knife man collapses bleeding on the sidewalk. An emergency doctor and a paramedic take care of him. But despite resuscitation, he dies on site.
‘Allahu akbar,’ ‘I will make sure these faggots die’

“A man stabbed a municipal policewoman several times in the premises of the municipal police in La Chapelle-sur-Erdre, in Loire-Atlantique. The policewoman is seriously injured. The suspect, known for radicalization, was arrested by the gendarmes and seriously injured during the operation.
…The suspect was arrested by the gendarmes a few hours later. Three gendarmes were injured during this operation. The suspect, armed, was seriously injured. According to reports from Europe 1, he is known to be radicalized and was released from prison a few weeks ago. This man, of French nationality, radicalized in prison and is registered with the FSPRT (file of reports for the prevention of terrorist radicalization). His release was validated by the Loire-Atlantique departmental assessment group. The suspect, who has a psychiatric history, had undertaken to undergo therapeutic treatment.”
Cartoons of Muhammad have now been banned from the school’s teaching materials.
A teacher at Batley grammar school in Yorkshire was suspended from work in March. He was forced into hiding, fearing for his life after receiving death threats. All he did was show pupils a cartoon of Muhammad, as part of a lesson about free speech and blasphemy.
A mob of religious conservatives gathered outside his school to protest against the cartoon. The school obliged them and duly punished the teacher. The head apologised for the teacher’s actions and sent pupils home early for the Easter break.
The largest parliamentary group in the German Bundestag, the faction of the ruling Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and its Bavarian sister party, the Christian Social Union (CSU), has approved a wide-ranging strategy to contain the spread of political Islam in Germany.
The plan, outlined in a new policy paper, “Preserving Free Society, Promoting Social Cohesion, Fighting Political Islamism,” warns that a growing number of areas in Germany, where German law is overruled by Sharia law, are in danger of becoming “parallel societies.”
The document also warns that many mosques and Islamic associations in Germany are controlled by foreign governments and that they are producing a generation of German jihadists who extol martyrdom and threaten Germany’s liberal democratic order.
Can anyone think of another “religious” group that has ever required the constant concern of western governments as the Islamic cult?
Dear Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, premiers, mayors, university presidents and all Canadians of good conscience,
I write this letter today on behalf of Canada’s oldest grassroots Jewish community organization, B’nai Brith Canada, to our political and civil society leaders. In a broader sense, this letter is addressed to all Canadians.
France is cited as an example of things to come but Islam is never explicitly mentioned for some reason. If you don’t want to be France then you had better start talking about the Elephant in the room – Islam.

A decade ago, Hina Shamsi was fighting on behalf of the Holy Land Foundation whose leaders had been convicted of providing material support to Hamas.
As the head of the ACLU’s National Security Project, Shamsi, a Pakistani citizen, had fought fiercely for the Islamic terrorists at Guantanamo Bay. “We all must pledge — not one person more in Guantanamo, not in our names,” she recently declared.
Yes, I’m going there.
We all know Islam is the “Religion of Peace.” Tell that to these people.
Priti Patel has ordered an inquiry into a prominent Muslim cleric paid by the Government to combat extremism after he told an angry crowd that Israel is a ‘terrorist state’.
The Home Secretary was responding to a Mail investigation into Imam Irfan Chishti MBE, who has played a leading role in the country’s Prevent programme designed to combat radicalisation since 2013.
His company, Me and You Education, gives training to the police, the NHS and in schools on how to spot extremists and neutralise radicalisation. On its website, Mr Chishti says that his goal is to heal divisions between communities.
The Fantasy-Islam of our “betters” in action.
Every time a shooting war between Israel and Hamas breaks out — the latest is the fourth one since 2007 when Hamas took over Gaza — Jew haters whine they can’t criticize Israel without being accused of anti-Semitism.
From the river to the sea… I don’t see anyone being censored here.

Police in Los Angeles have arrested one of the pro-Palestinian activists that attacked a group of diners, while allegedly using anti-Semitic slurs. The man has been charged with assault and could face hate crime charges.
The man, who the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) described as “one of the primary suspects in the assault and beating of several men” outside a restaurant in the Mid-City area of Los Angeles on Tuesday, was taken into custody on Saturday thanks to tips provided by the public, the LAPD said.
