If what is reported in this story is accurate, it is likely that this was not a jihad attack. But the odd discrepancy about whether or not he was known to police is useful to keep in mind when actual jihad attacks are reported. There is so much false information and outright disinformation in the […]
Video: Toronto mayor praises city’s reputation for being “inclusive” after van attack
This is odd. Canadian authorities are saying that the attack was a manifestation of mental illness, not terrorism. Of course, we have seen many attacks that are obviously jihad ascribed to mental illness, so that must be taken into consideration, but the mayor’s words are odd in any case. Toronto has always been “inclusive” of […]
Breaking news in Toronto: van mows over up to 10 pedestrians
Toronto police say a driver is in custody after “numerous pedestrians” were struck by a van in the city’s Yonge and Finch area. Pedestrians were not simply “hit” or “struck” as many mainstream news reports are describing. Twitter is highly active and many witnesses have described a scene where the driver mounted the curb and […]
Video: Robert Spencer on the epidemic of fake “anti-Muslim hate crime”
With the hard-Left smear group the Southern Poverty Law Center policing videos for YouTube, I am not long for the YouTube world, but as they have bigger fish to fry, it will likely take them awhile to get to me, and so in the meantime, here is a new one: in it, I discuss a […]
Toronto: Muslim teacher arrested for sex assault on 10-year-old boy
Toronto police arrested teacher Saleh Momla for sexually assaulting a 10-year-old boy at the Islamic Foundation of Toronto school. Although the sexual abuse of boys by men is found in every culture, what is unique about Islam is its harsh punishment of death for homosexuals while the abusive practice of Muslim men with boys is […]
Robert Spencer in FrontPage: Jihad in Toronto?
Maybe, but we may never know. My latest at FrontPage: “A 20-year-old Brampton man,” the Canadian Press reported Tuesday, “is facing dozens of charges, including seven counts of attempted murder, in what police describe as a string of unprovoked, random shootings in Toronto that narrowly missed being fatal.” As it turns out, this could have […]
Toronto: Random shooter of 7 is likely Muslim, cops say “We haven’t been able to determine any motive whatsoever”
Abdi means servant, as in servant of Allah, and is a common name for Muslims worldwide. Adam Abdi is, therefore, likely Muslim, and could be carrying out the Islamic State’s call to murder civilians in Western countries, or simply the Qur’an’s injunctions to “kill them wherever you find them” (2:191, 4:89, 9:5). If Adam Abdi […]
Toronto: After investigation, police say “Islamophobic” attack on hijab-wearing girl didn’t really happen
Yet another fake hate crime, and yet another that made international headlines, while it is virtually certain that the news that it was yet another hoax will hardly be reported anywhere. Genuine “anti-Muslim hate crimes” are thin on the ground, contrary to the ubiquitous propaganda about Muslims in the West facing widespread persecution, discrimination, and […]
Canada: Iranian pro-freedom protesters praise Trump for standing with Iranian people, say “shame on Trudeau”
“It’s all about freedom, it’s not just about the economy.” (Thanks to Robert.)
Canada: Iranian MP roils his own community over support for the Islamic Republic of Iran
Iranian Liberal Member of Parliament Majid Jowhari roiled Iranian members of his own riding when he described Iranians protesting “with the support of their elected government.” He tweeted last Thursday about the Trudeau government: “As our government is closely monitoring the ongoing protests in Iran; it is my sincere hope that the brave nation of […]
