Pakistani man on trial in Brooklyn for Trump assassination plot says he was recruited by Iran

A Pakistani businessman accused of plotting to kill Donald Trump told a federal jury on Wednesday that he was coerced into the scheme by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps, which he said had threatened his family to secure his participation.

Asif Merchant, 47, took the unusual step of testifying in his own defense at Brooklyn federal court, where he faces terrorism and murder-for-hire charges. Speaking through an Urdu translator, he told jurors he went along with the plot only out of fear for his wife and adopted daughter in Tehran.

“I was not wanting to do this so willingly,” he said.

Terry Newman: Are Iranian agents targeting Canadian Jews and anti-regime activists with bullets?

There appears to be a dark storm gathering over not only Jewish communities in Canada, but Iranian-Canadians who oppose the Islamic regime.

Late Monday night, gunfire struck the Temple Emanu‑El synagogue in Toronto, leaving several bullet holes in its windows. This followed a shooting on Sunday morning, in which multiple rounds were fired into an undisclosed business in Markham, Ont., just north of Toronto.

London, England

UK officials’ fear of being labeled racist or “Islamophobic” has allowed rape gangs—mainly composed of Pakistani-heritage men—to operate with near-impunity.

A total of 746 rapes were recorded in London in January, according to publicly available crime data from the Metropolitan Police Service.

The figures mean that, on average, one rape was reported roughly every 60 minutes in the British capital during the first month of the year.

Decades in the planning, the Islamic Republic of Britain

IN A recent speech given in the House of Lords to the Cambridge University Conservative Association, Dr Gavin Ashenden, for ten years a chaplain to the Queen, spoke of a ‘respected’ imam with whom he had worked ‘for quite a long time’ while running inter-faith seminars at the university where he was employed.

At the conclusion of one of these events, Dr Ashenden relates, this man confided in him as follows: ‘I’ve been doing this for an awfully long time, but my task is complete. I arrived in the 1970s with the aim of inaugurating an Islamic republic of Great Britain, and I’ve done it. This country is going to be an Islamic republic or, at least, a partitioned portion of it, in the time of my grandchildren.’

Fear of the Domestic Mujahideen Is Suffocating Britain’s Foreign Policy

Whatever one’s view of the so-called ‘special relationship’ between the United Kingdom and the United States (and I, for one, think it’s non-existent and embarrassing), the UK’s refusal to support American action against Iran marks a troubling moment in British foreign policy. The decision to prevent the United States from using joint UK-U.S. bases while simultaneously (and endlessly) stressing Britain’s non-involvement signals a government more concerned with internal community relations than strategic reality.
