The findings of an Ofsted inspection of the Institute of Islamic Education private boarding school have caused outrage in the UK – notably, the discovery of a book in the school’s library that promotes the killing of homosexuals.
On Tuesday, Ofsted, the UK’s standards authority for education, published a report about the religious boarding school in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire.
An Islamophobia “emergency” summit was endorsed unanimously by Canada’s MP’s amid the politicization of the murder of a Muslim family, run over by 19-year-old Nathaniel Veltman. According to police, Veltman did not belong to any organized group. In a manner reminiscent of Pakistan, due process was trampled under and mob rule appeared to prevail; the murder was declared an act of “terrorism” before court proceedings even began, despite the fact that according to Canadian law those proceeding are responsible for establishing motive. Veltman’s case is not truly a national matter, let alone an international one. Yet according to a Canadian Press report on July 19, the Veltman case is indeed of national concern, and the National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM) has released 61 groundbreaking recommendations for every level of government to fight “Islamophobia” …
In a viral Facebook post, journalist and author Nima Dervish has urged fellow immigrant debaters to avoid “pissing off Swedes” because their country is “ruined” and they are “mad”.
“An open piece of advice to immigrant debaters. No matter how sensible you are, no matter what important work you do… Cut back the talk about white Swedes and their ‘privileges’. Even if you were right, cut it. Because now is not the time”, Nima Dervish wrote in his widely circulated post.
Canada is beginning to look a lot like Sweden. Next stop is France when “authorities” lose control of the streets.
Austria’s Chancellor Sebastian Kurz has pledged to continue deporting asylum-seekers back to Afghanistan, after a police officer was attacked at a detention center in Vienna.
“I wish the injured policewoman a speedy recovery,” Kurz said after the attack on Wednesday, as quoted by Austrian media.
It’s unacceptable when people come to us for protection, but neither abide by our laws nor accept our values. Incidents like this show why there must be no stop to deportations to Afghanistan.
Anti-Islam activist Tommy Robinson has lost a High Court libel case brought by a Syrian schoolboy.
Jamal Hijazi was filmed being attacked in the playground at Almondbury School in Huddersfield in October 2018.
The English Defence League founder, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, claimed Mr Hijazi attacked “young English girls”.

As the United States prepares to complete its withdrawal from Afghanistan by August 31, 2021, a growing number of Arabs are worried that the American move will not only bring the Taliban back to power there, but also lead to the re-emergence of other Islamist terrorist groups such as Al-Qaeda and Islamic State (ISIS).
The Arabs are saying that the Americans are mistaken if they think that the war on terrorism will end with the withdrawal of the US troops from Afghanistan.
They are warning the US that it will pay a heavy price for allowing Afghanistan to fall into the hands of terrorist groups. They are also saying that they see no difference between the Taliban, Al-Qaeda and ISIS, and how these groups openly cooperate with each other.
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) added her voice to a group of Democratic lawmakers Tuesday calling on Secretary of State Antony Blinken to appoint a special U.S. international envoy tasked with ending “Islamophobia” wherever it is found.

A 13-year-old girl has died after undergoing female genital mutilation (FGM) in Somalia, as activists report a rise in the practice during the pandemic.
Fartun Hassan Ahmed, the daughter of nomadic pastoralists, bled to death after being cut earlier this month in the village of Jeerinle in the state of Galmudug, her mother said.
Activists believe it is the first reported case of an FGM fatality in Somalia since the death of 10-year-old Deeqa Dahir Nuur in 2018. With one of the highest rates of cutting in the world, the east African country has no national law against the practice.
“Those who carry crosses should not be offered any prayer, because it is our belief that these people are utter heretics,” he reportedly said in a sermon in in Rosengård’s al-Sahaba mosque. “If someone unwittingly wears a cross on their clothes, we order him to take it off. Whenever the prophet saw a cross in a cloth or on someone’s clothes or whatever, he destroyed it,” he added.
The greatest threat to democratic tradition is found when the will of government and the will of the majority are diametrically opposed.
Such is the state of contemporary Canada. Take immigration policy as an example: a Nanos Research Group poll, reported by Bloomberg News, found that only 17% of respondents think the country should accept more immigrants in 2021 than it did in 2020.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ignored public will, and has instead increased immigration quotas to their highest level in history. Such is a set-up for resentment among Canadian-born citizens. An unfortunate by-product is manifest in a substantial rise in acts of racism.
Georgetown University’s Bridge Initiative, a project of its Saudi-founded Prince Alwaleed bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding (ACMCU), claims it exists to combat the pernicious spread of “Islamophobia.” ACMCU’s June 30 webinar featuring former Bridge research fellow Jordan Denari Duffner offered further evidence that Bridge’s real mission is to depict all Muslims as victims and silence critical commentary on Islam. Like the term “Islamophobia” itself, Bridge exists to end, rather than advance, debate.
Waterloo Regional Police have charged a man after a mosque was ransacked and vandalized in Cambridge on July 14.
Police said the evidence does not support the inference that the crime was motivated by racial or religious hatred.
The Perp hasn’t been named that I have found. Was it just an incident triggered by mental illness?
Note that this is an Ahmadiyya Mosque, a despised minority sect considered heretics by many Muslims.
Conditions banning radical preacher Anjem Choudary from public speaking have been lifted.
Choudary, from Ilford in east London, was jailed for five-and-a-half years in 2016 after being convicted of inviting support for the Islamic State group.
He was released on licence from HMP Belmarsh in 2018, the conditions of which have now come to an end.
It has not been confirmed if police and MI5 will continue to track him or consider him a person of interest.
Last week, Niger’s President Mohamed Bazoum said his country needed technological assistance from its European partners to fight jihadis. He complained of swaths of territory in Mali and Niger being taken over by the so-called “Islamic State” (IS) — known also as ISIS — and its affiliates.
Bazoum’s comments came as French President Emmanuel Macron announced France would start closing military bases in northern Mali by the end of 2021, including the 5,100-member Barkhane force.
“We are going to reorganize ourselves in line with this need to stop this spread to the south,” Macron told reporters.
Today in history, on July 16, 1212, an epic battle—which the Islamic State still vows vengeance for—took place between Christians and Muslims, and presaged the demise of Islam in Spain, five hundred years after Muhammad’s followers first invaded and subjugated that nation beginning in 711.
