Female Suicide Bombers: A Terrorist Group’s Hidden Weapon [female] Suicide bombers killed at least 32 people in three attacks in [Gwoza] a Nigerian city once controlled by Boko Haram. BBC July 1, 2024

Uzza on how holy warriors brutalize girls and young women into becoming suicide bombers:

Turning little girls into mass murderers is a challenge, but holy warriors have proven themselves up to the task with little girls increasingly outnumbering little boys as suicide bombers. The transformation usually begins with the rape of god-fearing girls by fighters in Allah's Cause. It is meant to make them feel a heart-breaking guilt for having brought dishonour on their family, a shame so intense that death seems preferable.

Rape makes a shamble of a young girl's fantasy of marrying her prince charming. What nice young man would have her as his beloved bride now that she is no longer a virgin? Only Allah, she is told, can now make her dream come true. Not in the here-and-now, but in the Hereafter, if she has the courage to kill herself and take as many of His enemies as possible with her.

It much easier to get little boys to put on a suicide vest and walk into a crowd and press the button, but there is little fun in that for holy warriors, which may explain the ascendency of little girls. Uzza again:

There will be no old people in Paradise. Muhammad said that no matter your age, you will all be in your early thirties once you get there, You play on every little boy’s fantasy of being all grown up. You tell them that, literally, in a puff of smoke, they can become a man if they are willing to help Allah get rid of the bad people.

Big majority of Canadian Gen Z, millennials support values-testing immigrants: poll Ottawa Citizen, June 25, 2024

There is really only one class of immigrants that poses a serious threat because they will never accept our values and will seek to impose their own. The best way to address this threat which Houda-Pepin, the first Muslim woman elected to the Quebec National Assembly reminds us will further marginalize women, is to rein in religions, in particular one who favours gender apartheid.

It is a segregation [of the sexes] that is done in the public space. We in Québec and in Canada went to the United Nations to denounce apartheid regimes, segregation based on race was unacceptable and I would not accept segregation based on sex because that is what it means, the chadors, the burqas and all these imported ways of dressing which are meant, in the name of freedom of religion, to impose values that are alien and from another century. Freedom of religion, for me, leaves some things to be desired. We will eventually have to confront this reality.

Desecrating the Koran in Canada may cause the police to intervene and that's about it for now. Change is in the air with a massive immigration program that, with the blessing of the Supreme Court of Canada, has already made a mockery of a public secular education system.

Terrorism peace bond imposed on Edmonton woman who travelled to Islamic State Toronto Sun, May 22, 2024

Many young women would not have left Canada for Islamic State if the government had been more open and honest about what awaited them. The Canadian government also failed some of the girls, many of whom died, by allowing a foreign agent in its employ, who was made a Canadian citizen for his efforts, to facilitate their transit to ISIS territory.

Iran's President Raisi killed in helicopter crash CNN May 20, 2024

For his role on the so-called death committee during the 1988 executions of Iranian political prisoners, Raisi became known as the "Butcher of Tehran". My friend Abbas, aka Sohrab, was detained when Ayatollah Ebrahim Raisi was in charge of putting down unrest under Khomeini. He was one of hundreds of young people, mostly students, who had been corralled at a protest and herded into a large room at a nearby detention facility. He remembers it as one of the the worst nights of his life.

Dutch Right-Wing Parties Reach Preliminary Deal to Form a Government NY Times, May 15, 2024.

To reach an agreement Geert Wilders sacrificed two key planks of his party that if widely emulated by Western governments could have slowed, if not stop the triumph of Islam in the West—the subject of our next book.

Time to consider Boreal’s less draconian solution which would make the Koran for adults only, not ban it; and put our faith in a Western education for all children while allowing post-elementary madrassas where mature students could be exposed to Islamic values, not banning the schools altogether.

Aussie teen killed by police was in deradicalization program since causing school explosion Associated Press, May 7, 2024

Deradicalization requires convincing the radicalized that Allah does not want them to go out and kill unbelievers. This is not that easy since Islamic scriptures say otherwise. There may be, however, a surefire way to test if an individual is still a risk.

Why Justin Trudeau's Liberals are introducing 'halal mortgages', Toronto Sun, April 20, 2024

Our Prime Minister is again getting the State to intervene where it has no business. Despite his admiration for a religion that, in the main, does not recognize the separation of Church and State, Trudeau’s halal mortgage announcement may not be doing Muslims any favours by leaving the impression that there are ways around Sharia law. Both Allah and Muhammad foresaw there would be attempts to circumvent the prohibition against paying or charging interest and warned against it.

Iran says it has no plans to retaliate after drones, presumably launched by Israel, are shot down CBC April 19, 2024

The bombing may have reminded the Ayatollahs of their vulnerability. These prince of Islam are rolling in it because of their control of key sectors of the economy and their cut of the Zakat, the oxymoronic obligatory charity that is collected by their underlings, so-to-speak, the imams. The Koran claims that it is better in the hereafter, but I doubt if any of these billionaires in turbans are willing to test that theory while they have it so good in the here-and-now by getting into a shooting war with a country with a reputation for successfully targeting the people in charge.

Australian teen accused of stabbing wasn't radicalized, Muslim leader says Teen stabbed Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel and the Rev. Isaac Royel during Monday night's Assyrian Orthodox service The Associated Press, April 18, 2024

There is a common ceremony practiced throughout the Muslim world called Khatmi-Qur’an. It is the ceremony to recognize and celebrate a child’s first full reading of the Koranic text. Most children, under their mother's tutelage, mouth or complete the first full reading of the Qur’an between the age of four and seven. Mosques around the world have the equivalent of Sunday school classes to assist the mother in getting her children "to master the proper pronunciation and to read the text clearly from the first verse to the last."

Exposing a child to the cruelty and sadism of the Koran at such an early age, if that was the case here, is bound to have a long-term consequences.

Israel says confrontation with Iran 'not over'. CNN April 14, 2024

Netanyahu will not stop provoking Iran until he traps the United States into going to war on Israel's behalf. War is the only way we can rid ourselves of a theocracy that believes it rules and kills by divine dispensation. But, we should do it because it is the right thing to do, not because we have been conned into doing so.

In defiance of the West, the Taliban will stone women in public again... Supreme Leader Mullah Haibatlullah Akhundzada [said:] “You may call it a violation of women’s rights when we publicly stone or flog them for committing adultery because they conflict with your democratic principles … [But] I represent Allah, and you represent Satan.” Globe and Mail April 9, 2024

There is no verse in the official Koran about stoning anyone to death for adultery. Countries that stone women and girls to death for illegal sex do so in accordance with the example of Muhammad or because they subscribe to the theory of the lost verse.

Canadian astronaut says total solar eclipse a rare chance to witness 'cosmic ballet' Canadian Press, April 8, 2024

For some the ballet will be just an illusion. In the Koran, the Moon and the Sun occupy the same orbit. Cleric Mohammed Yusuf, the deceased leader of Boko Haram, Nigeria's largest gathering of holy warriors whose designation literally means “non-Islamic education is a sin” in a 2009 BBC interview was asked about the Koran’s description of space being so much at odds about what we know. He said that space as we know it is all illusion created by Allah to test our faith in what he revealed in His Book, including that the Earth is flat.

Veterans Affairs Canada trolled for 'politically correct' Easter tweet: 'Happy March holiday season' National Post, March 30, 2024

On Saturday, the Toronto Sun reported that "Prime Minister acknowledges most religious holidays – except Good Friday." The Prime Minister sets the tone. Trudeau may not have wanted to acknowledge Good Friday because of his respect for a constituency that is close to his heart or, just like that constituency, he actually believes it was all an illusion. Veterans Affairs’ erasing of Easter is no worse than what their boss did in ignoring Good Friday.

Moscow attack: Day of mourning after 133 killed at Crocus City Hall concert BBC March 24, 2024

Allah did not create man so that he could have fun. The aim of creation was for mankind to be put to the test through hardship and prayer. An Islamic regime must be serious in every field. There are no jokes in Islam. There is no humor in Islam. There is no fun in Islam. There can be no fun and joy in whatever is serious.

Ayatollah Khomeini

Concerts make particularly attractive targets for Islamic terrorists, not only because they attract a crowd of people of all ages enjoying themselves, but a crowd of bona fide sinners. Listening to music or playing musical instruments is 16th of the 50 grave or greater sins; sins where the transgressor will burn in Hell for eternity. What is unusual about this attack is that the terrorists did not continue killing until they themselves were killed for that is how you bypass life in the grave and spontaneously pop into Paradise no questions asked.

3:169 And do not think those who have been killed in the Way of Allah as dead; they are rather living with their Lord, well provided for.

For Muslim women who are isolated, Ramadan can be lonely. An Ottawa group is working to fix that with 'Sisterhood Iftar' Ottawa Citizen March 13, 2024

Not to be disrespectful, but not being able to participate in all that Ramadan has to offer may have some health benefits. The Fast of Ramadan is a misnomer. Ramadan is not so much a fast, which can be beneficial, but a changing of your eating schedule for 30 consecutive days from three balanced meals during the day to one meal after nightfall on which some will you gorge themselves while others pick at it perhaps hoping to avoid the impact on a confused digestive system. You can eat and drink until morning.

2:187 Eat and drink until you can discern the white thread from the black thread of dawn.

Health concerns would not have been an issue in the hot sunny deserts of Arabia, where the tradition originated, when your daily main meal was after the sun set, for obvious reasons.

Modern-day Islam does make allowance for diabetics and people who must take medicine with food at a specific time of the day. For otherwise healthy people, whose eating schedule was not that of a Torrid Zone desert dweller, constipation is the most common side effect of observing the so-called Fast of Ramadan. The reason why, I was told by a Muslim acquaintance, many stock up on laxatives before the onset of Ramadan.

Muhammad broke his daily fast with a helping of one or more dates, a natural laxative. In keeping with this tradition, many halal food banks, such as Ottawa's Sadaqa Food Bank, include at least one box of dates in their Ramadan food hamper.

At some latitudes the lateness of the one meal of the day during Ramadan will be even more conducive to an uncooperative colon.

Anti-Islamophobia envoy warns of chill on freedom of speech in relation to Gaza... “Better government co-ordination would allow more precise measures, Elghawaby argues, weeding out criminal acts of hate targeting any community while preserving their right to speak out.” Canadian Press, Jan 27, 2024

Since Ms. Elghawaby got that high-paying job she has adopted a more balanced speech, and for that we should all be grateful. Weeding out "acts of hate", including hate speech, against any community is a good thing. However, Ms. Elghawaby exhibited a double standard when it came to weeding out hate speech from within her community.

In 2015, the Standing Senate Committee on National Security and Defence issued a report based largely on testimony from prominent Muslims about the threat posed by foreign trained imams. The Committee recommended that “the federal government work with the provinces and the Muslim communities to investigate the options that are available for the training and certification of imams in Canada.”

Ms. Elghawaby, then communications director of the CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations)-like National Council of Canadian Muslims (NCCM) would have none of it. In an apoplectic response she misrepresented, not only the testimony of moderate coreligionist but the intent of the recommendation as an attack on the freedom of speech of Muslims.
