Osman Azizov is out on bail. It cannot be, and yet, apparently, it is. Among the 14 charges against the 18-year-old Toronto man, and two alleged accomplices, are sexual assault with a weapon, attempted kidnapping, impersonating a police officer and unauthorized possession of at least one firearm.
It’s a close race, but the kidnapping allegations are perhaps the most disturbing — because who knows what might have been in store for the victims afterwards?
Canada’s ‘Islamophobia’ czar is back in the news again, this time for explicitly forwarding the Palestinian agenda on the taxpayer dime.
A new French survey suggests that a third of Muslims living in the country believe Sharia law should be applied worldwide. And just shy of 10% of those who support this think it should be introduced through coercion or force.
While interpretations of such a system differ, its implementation would inevitably bring far-reaching changes—particularly in how Europe approaches women’s rights and, especially, free speech, which is already weakening.
A city council has installed special barriers around the local Christmas market. Yet it’s strangely coy about why
Birmingham City Council has just made a very important announcement. To keep people safe while visiting the local Christmas market, it’s installed “Hostile Vehicle Mitigation” bollards. “These measures,” explained the council in a cheerful video for social media, “stop hostile vehicles from entering pedestrian areas, so you can enjoy the famous Frankfurt Christmas Market with confidence.”
Good to hear. All the same, I do find one aspect of this statement surprising.
I didn’t know vehicles could be hostile.

In the days following the Bondi attack, a noticeable shift occurred in Australian public conversation. People began saying out loud what they had previously learned to say only in private: blunt questions about immigration, social cohesion, public safety, and cultural limits. The striking feature was not that these views were new, but that they were suddenly being expressed without apology. Journalists and politicians appeared unsettled, not by the substance of the questions, but by the fact that they were now being asked openly.
What changed was not belief, but permission.
Pakistan, it seems, has stepped forward, selflessly offering to be part of US President Donald J. Trump’s proposed International Stabilization Force (ISF) in the Gaza Strip. “We’re very grateful to Pakistan for their offer to be part of it, or at least their offer to consider being a part of it,” US Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters on December 20.
TORONTO — Questions are growing over whether individuals accused in one of the most serious hate-motivated and terrorism-linked criminal cases in recent Canadian history have been released on bail, amid limited public disclosure and a court-imposed publication ban.
Project Neapolitan, a major joint investigation led by the Toronto Police Service, Peel Regional Police, and the RCMP’s Integrated National Security Enforcement Team, resulted in the arrest of three Toronto men accused of targeting women and members of the Jewish community in armed kidnapping and hostage-taking attempts earlier this year.
Janet Ecker: What can a non-Jew do to stop the hate?
You could start by actually saying the words Islam or Muslim.
A migrant drug dealer allowed to stay in the UK for being a ‘star pupil’ at school has admitted sexually assaulting two women – the day after he was granted his appeal.
Muhammed Izhan, 22, was spared deportation after winning an appeal on the grounds of mental health against his removal to Pakistan on November 11.
But a day later, Izhan pleaded guilty via video link from jail to sexually assaulting two women in a busy Norwich high street in broad daylight in June. He was fined £200 for the offence.
One of Canada’s first convicted terrorists shows ‘no signs of de-radicalization’
A Moroccan terrorist convicted in Quebec almost two decades ago has been denied parole in a decision that said he had no remorse and continued to legitimize violence.
Said Namouh, 52, remains a “significant, indeed concerning, risk,” despite having been behind bars since 2007, according to the Parole Board of Canada.
Canada’s post-October 7 antisemitism crisis mirrors Australia’s. It’s small wonder that the Bondi Beach Hanukkah pogrom is perceived by numerous Canadian observers as a bullet dodged.
If it had happened here, we would be sifting through the same forensic breadcrumbs that helped pave the road to Bondi: principles bent for Muslim votes, calculated tolerance for criminal activity directed against Jews and the demonization of Israel in high political and cultural places.
The question now is: what can we do to prevent such a tragedy in Canada?
FYI Barb some of us have been discussing Canada’s suicidal immigration policy for decades.
Does promoting a Palestinian Arab terror state constitute support for Israel or is it exactly bowing down to terrorism
When the history books are written will Canada be seen to stand with freedom-respecting nations or with totalitarian Islamist terrorists?
Anyone who promotes a Palestinian Arab state is in fact standing with Jihad and murder. It is clear that Canadian young people, like the Australians, are being mis-educated and the media is confused about the history of Israeli offers of land for a Palestinian Arab autonomy – which were met with increased terrorism as the jihadists were encouraged that they were getting closer to their genocidal goals.
The following are among the abuses and murders inflicted on Christians by Muslims throughout the month of October 2025.
The Muslim Slaughter of Christians
Mozambique: On Oct. 8, the Islamic State Mozambique Province (ISMP) terror group launched a series of savage attacks targeting Christian communities in Cabo Delgado and Nampula provinces. The assaults resulted in the beheading of 30 Christians, widespread arson, and the destruction of at least five churches and 100 homes. Many other Christians—including women and their daughters—were herded away. The Muslim terrorists later boasted of their handiwork by releasing photos of themselves beheading and shooting civilians at close range.
A new definition of “Islamophobia,” slated for publication in the U.K. this week, has triggered widespread alarm among free speech campaigners. A leaked version of the definition revealed that the government had rebranded “Islamophobia,” a phrase used to silence criticism of Muslims, Islam, and Islamism, as “anti-Muslim hostility.”
