RUTHFULLY YOURS

https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm-plus/terror-group-to-hold-canadian-conference-on-overthrowing-west/

Baby-faced Canadian tyrant Justin Trudeau may have finally relinquished power, but his country is still in the grip of a suicidal wokeness, an anti-Western multiculturalism that threatens to hollow it out from within – as wokeness is designed to do. The most recent case in point: Ontario will be hosting a conference this week organized by what other countries have deemed an international terrorist group: Hizb ut-Tahrir. The event’s theme is “eliminating the obstacles that are delaying [the] return” of an Islamic caliphate.

Unless government action is taken to prevent it, Hizb ut-Tahrir (Arabic for the “Party of Liberation”) will be hosting its annual Khilafah (Caliphate) Conference on January 18 in Hamilton, Ontario, after a public outcry forced it to move from its original planned location in Mississauga. The precise location of the conference will be available only to attendees who register via Eventbrite.

“Is America really so powerful that our Ummah [the worldwide Muslim community] can’t defeat it?” the group wrote in a post on Facebook:

There have been superpower states in the past too, like the Romans and the Persians; yet, they were defeated by the Ummah. Their great cities, like Constantinople, are now Muslim cities.

The post went on state, “Learn what it will take for our Ummah to overcome America, Europe, Russia, China, and others from the position we’re in today. If you want to help create real change in our Ummah, then get this critical knowledge by attending, inshaAllah.”

A spokesperson for HuT claims in a promotional video, which has since been deleted from the group’s website, “The colonialists will point to their technology, vast armies, giant economies, and their pervasive influence. However, none of this ‘power’ compares to the might of Allah. It doesn’t even stand against the strength Allah has given our Ummah.”

That all sounds rather threatening. Are the Canadian authorities too feckless to take a stand?

A couple of years ago, I was encouraged to apply to sit on a board that would help the College of Policing produce a new code of ethics. My unsuccessful application was perhaps fatally brief. When asked what attributes should be central to a new code, I replied, simply, ‘moral and physical courage’.

I was put in mind of this after the smouldering rape-gang scandal exploded into flames this month, fanned by the most networked man on the planet, Elon Musk. Now momentum is gathering behind calls for a national inquiry – and in particular, into the behaviour of the police. Why did the gatekeepers for public safety desert their posts?

The charge sheet is stark. In multiple grotesque examples of child sexual exploitation by organised gangs of men, police forces failed to act to safeguard victims and deliver justice. The reports and reviews, delivered piecemeal after various grooming-gang court cases, revealed staggering incompetence and callous indifference on the part of far too many police forces, from Thames Valley to South Yorkshire to Greater Manchester. There was a pattern to their failures. Their investigations were inadequate. They failed to see brutalised young girls as victims. And they put the protection of their reputations ahead of justice.

In each instance, the victims were predominantly white girls and the perpetrators were predominantly older, south Asian men, most of them of Pakistani heritage. The police should have responded by upholding the law and protecting the vulnerable regardless of the seeming racial, ethnic dimension to the offending. The actual response was very different. As Professor Alexis Jay’s 2015 report into child sexual exploitation in Rotherham revealed, 1,400 children were sexually abused and raped in the town between 1997 and 2013. Jay found that both the police and council staff were reluctant to confront the problem due to the ethnic origins of the perpetrators and the fear of being labelled racist. The lack of police action allowed the abuse to continue unchecked.

This is about Scandinavia, but let’s start with the Anglosphere. The other day, on his Talk TV show Piers Morgan Uncensored, the eponymous host discussed various topics with a panel whose most garrulous member was Kara Swisher, a stunningly obnoxious lesbian columnist – yes, even more obnoxious than Piers himself – whom I’ve never seen or read before but who obviously thinks that she’s brilliant and that everyone else is an idiot.

The subject of Trump wanting to acquire Greenland came up. It turned out that neither the slimy Piers nor the odious Kara had been aware until Trump began talking about Greenland recently (or, actually, resumed talking about it after having done so briefly during his first term) that the island is owned by Denmark. Nonetheless both of them had strong opinions about the issue. For Kara, Trump’s refusal to rule out the use of military force to annex Greenland was one more reason to call him a fool. But hey, at least Trump knew that Greenland is owned by Denmark.

For the rest of Piers’s panelists, as for many other stateside talking heads, the Greenland issue was mainly a cause for mirth. But let’s  move on to Scandinavia, where, for the most part, it was anything but.

“Just think of it for an instant,” wrote Maja Sojtaric in Norway’s Nettavisen: “an upcoming president of the world’s largest military power is willing to use his superior force to take over the territory of one of his allies.” Yes, commented Sojtaric, Trump is “easy to mock,” but “his wish to take territory from one of his allies is not a joke.” On the contrary, she warned, it’s “unbelievably dangerous. It destabilizes NATO. It ought to worry us here in Norway. A destabilization of NATO makes us extremely vulnerable.”

Will the Monroe Doctrine be revitalized in the face of the growing military, economic and diplomatic entrenchment of Iran’s Ayatollahs throughout Latin America?! The Ayatollahs aim to undermine the strategic posture of the US in its own “soft underbelly,” and bring “The Great American Satan” to submission. Against this alarming background, can the US afford to persist in its diplomatic option toward Iran, or revert to President Trump’s maximum pressure economic sanctions, which were proven reversible, while refraining from the irreversible regime-change?!

*”After more than four decades of systematic penetration of Latin America, Iran is reaching its full geopolitical potential in the Western Hemisphere, prepositioning military assets and armaments in the region. Tehran’s goal is to bring the fight to the United States…. Venezuela’s Armed Forces is the first Latin American military to have armed drones in its inventory, courtesy of Iran. In 2021, Venezuela began receiving shipments of Iran-made precision-guided short-range missiles that will likely be used to arm the drones….”    

*The Warsaw, Poland-based Defense Industry Europe reports that “Iran’s supply of military systems to Venezuela creates grave concerns in South America. Iranian-made Zolfaghar-class missile boats (a modified version of the North Korean IPS-16) armed with Nasr-1 anti-ship missiles were observed during a July 24, 2023 naval parade in Venezuela [Do the Ayatollahs intend to export the Houthi piracy in the Red Sea to the Caribbean Sea and the Venezuela-Guyana territorial conflict?]. The Iranian defense industry is using straw companies to obtain dual-use components used in their locally manufactured military systems…. Iran is using Venezuela as its front base in South America, intending to target American interests….”

*The Riyadh-based Journal for Iranian Studies indicates that “Iran’s significant and growing presence in Latin America, [is noticed] among governments with adversarial relationships with the United States. [There is] a progression of Iran-Latin American cooperation from diplomatic, cultural and commercial ties to the signing of military agreements and the export of Iranian military technology, notably drones…. to Latin America, which represents a critical region for US national interests and security…. A drone production factory was established [in Venezuela] over a decade ago during Hugo Chavez’s tenure…. These commercial and military agreements help Iran circumvent international sanctions and the 2007 UN arms embargo, providing a venue for Iranian companies affiliated with the [US State Department terror-designated] Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to establish a presence beyond Iranian borders, notwithstanding the sanctions…. Bolivian Defense Minister, Edmundo Novillo, disclosed that the [Iran-Bolivia] agreement entailed provisions for acquiring drones and boats aimed at monitoring regional borders…. [He] underscored Bolivia’s need for maintenance services for its aircraft and helicopters [paid for by lithium], acknowledging the technical expertise offered by Iran in this regard….”

That the attacks were jihadist is rarely mentioned, or only briefly. Then everything gets forgotten until the next jihadist attack.

In many American universities, tenured professors have openly supported radical Islam for years, described Hamas as a liberation movement, supported terrorism, shown their hatred of the United States and brainwashed students. Radical imams in many mosques have incited their followers to hate and even murder Jews (here, here and here) and appear to be trying to legitimize jihad.

Political Islam, support for Islamic terrorism and incitement to jihad – holy war — needs be squarely faced and defeated.

It is hoped that the Trump administration will allow no place for Jihad in the US or the West.

The jihadist attack on Bourbon Street in New Orleans on January 1st by an American who converted to Islam and became an Islamist should come as no surprise.

This was not the first time that a Jihadist in the United States or Europe had used “vehicular jihad. The Islamic State (IS) appears to have “encouraged” it in 2010. IS even recommended that to cause “maximum carnage,” it be used preferably in “pedestrian only” sites.

In the US, Jihadist attacks, vehicular and other, include 9/11/2001, the Boston Marathon Bombing, the Fort Hood slayings, and the New Orleans attack {for more, see Appendix 1).

In Europe there have been at least 15 vehicular attacks, including two on Christmas markets in Germany; one on Nice’s seaside in France on July 14, 2016, and more in France, Spain, the UK , and Stockholm. There have also been countless non-vehicular jihadist attacks there , including the London Underground attacks of 2005, the slaughter at the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, the murders at Paris’s Bataclan theater, among many others (see Appendix 2).

“Among the Islamist terrorist organizations that Qatar and Al-Jazeera have supported over the years are the Muslim Brotherhood, Al-Qaeda, the Taliban, Hezbollah, the Al-Nusrah Front/Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham, ISIS, Hamas, and even the Shiite proxies in Yemen, Ansar Allah (the Houthis).” — MEMRI.org , May 6, 2024

“The Al-Jazeera TV network is an arm of the Qatari regime. It is owned by the government and carries out its foreign policy by means of indoctrination of the Arabic-speaking masses worldwide. Al-Jazeera, therefore, should not be discussed as a means of telecommunications, but instead as an unyielding and forceful political tool of Qatari foreign policy under the guise of a mass media network. )” — MEMRI.org May 6, 2024

The MEMRI report points out that Al-Jazeera was the prime power for toppling the secular authoritarian regime in Egypt, when Qatar, by means of Al-Jazeera, supported the Muslim Brotherhood in ousting then Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. Al-Jazeera, the single most significant platform for mainstreaming Jihadi and Muslim Brotherhood ideology, was the power that accorded [Muslim Brotherhood presidential candidate] Mohamed Morsi his victory.

Al-Jazeera’s role in providing a platform for promoting extremist Islamist ideologies goes back decades: “The case of promoting Al-Qaeda is of particular interest…. Al-Jazeera’s official role in the current Israel-Hamas war is nowhere more evident that its exclusive broadcast of Hamas military commander Mohammed Deif… at the very time that Hamas terrorists were carrying out their mega-terror attack in Israel… Deif declared the launch of ‘Operation Al-Aqsa Flood’ and incited all Palestinians to join the war, using all means in their possession – guns, knives, Molotov cocktails, and vehicles.” — MEMRI.org , May 6, 2024

They [Israelis and Palestinians] have both come to the conclusion that Al-Jazeera’s goal is to promote radical Islam and terrorism. It now remains to be seen whether the US and other countries will follow suit and stop the Qatari-owned TV station from supporting terrorism, poisoning the hearts and minds of millions worldwide, and ravaging global security.

The Palestinians have finally discovered that Qatar’s Al-Jazeera television network — which has long been serving as a mouthpiece for the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, and virtually all other Islamic terrorist groups — is “broadcasting inciteful content, spreading misinformation, and interfering in internal Palestinian affairs, which [the Palestinian Authority Ministerial Committee] claimed stirred division and instability.”

https://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm-plus/sweden-a-new-hotbed-of-jihad-terror/

Welcome to the new, multicultural Sweden: in early Dec. 2024,according toRemix News, “four men, including two Swedish brothers who converted to Islam, have been charged with preparing to commit acts of terror and involvement in a terrorist organization, according to an indictment submitted to Nacka District Court. The group is accused of acting on behalf of the Islamic State in Somalia, with plans allegedly targeting Jewish individuals as part of their intended ‘jihad.’”

They were just one such group among many. The Swedish-language Fria Tider reported in late Nov. 2024 that “two Afghans with connections to the terrorist group IS-K are on trial in Germany – suspected of plans to carry out a terrorist attack against Sweden’s parliament and kill at least ten people. The oldest of the defendants, a 30-year-old, has admitted to the plans during the ongoing trial in Germany. He states that he was brainwashed by the Islamic State and was motivated by the Koran burnings in Sweden.”

The Swedish government has taken a strong stand regarding those Qur’an burnings: Agence France Presse reported on Nov.5, 2024 that a Swedish court court had “sentenced a Swedish-Danish right-wing activist to four months in jail for inciting ethnic hatred at two 2022 protests that included the burning of Korans. Rasmus Paludan provoked rioting in Sweden in 2022 when he went on a tour of the country and publicly burned copies of the Koran. In August, prosecutors charged him with ‘agitation against an ethnic group’ over a protest in the southern city of Malmo in April 2022, where he desecrated and set fire to the Muslim holy book while making disparaging comments about Muslims.”

This has been a long time coming. Sweden’s third-largest city, Malmö, had by 2004 become one-quarter Muslim, and that number was rapidly growing. Nor were the Muslims of Malmö inclined to demonstrate their moderation. Even the police were afraid: “If we park our car it will be damaged — so we have to go very often in two vehicles, one just to protect the other vehicle,” reported a police officer in Malmö. Meanwhile, Swedish ambulance drivers would not enter some areas of Malmö unless police accompanied them.”

Yet British officials knew what was happening on a rampant scale. It was impossible not to know.

In our pages, over a decade ago, I scoffed at a colleague who had suggested that ISIS — the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham, which used to be the Iraqi franchise of its now rival al-Qaeda — might be concerned that Western nations were on to its rape jihad. Even if we indulged the fantasy that jihadists were possessed of the civilized sensibility that would trigger such a concern, I countered that “the shocking Rotherham rape jihad scandal” that had erupted in England would assure them that “the West is far more likely to look the other way than to mobilize against this signature sexual abuse.”

This is akin to a point so eloquently made by such fearless truth-tellers as John O’Sullivan, Douglas Murray, and Ayaan Hirsi Ali: Among the most heinous elements of the sudden interest in the rape jihad, catalyzed by Elon Musk’s admirable hounding of Britain’s oh-so-progressive government, is that the “grooming gangs” are a very old story. The rape jihad wasn’t hiding in plain sight; it was willfully covered up by Parliament, by Britain and its allies in Europe’s transnational progressive project, and by the American cognoscenti. Talking about it was a surer guarantee of pariah status than participating in it.

And then there’s the why. Why is it a signature sexual abuse that we’re not supposed to talk about? Well, because it’s deeply rooted in Islamic scripture. If you have the temerity to notice that, there looms the risk of admonition that the problem is not the rape jihad but your “Islamophobia.”

Back in that 2014 column, written when ISIS was conquering territory the size of Britain and reveling in the spoils, I quoted one of the jihadists who was gleefully anticipating “slave market day.” The Koran, he insisted, authorizes Muslims to sexually exploit “the (captives) whom their right hands possess.”

https://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/21299/iran-nuclear-negotiation-trap

Lest anyone think that this is a genuine attempt at diplomacy, it is not. Rather, it is a maneuver aimed at deceptively buying time, avoiding sanctions and deflecting impending actions of the Trump administration.

Iran’s regime is playing a game of manipulation, apparently hoping to mislead the world and stave off serious consequences — namely losing their nuclear weapons program — which, mind-bogglingly, it denies even having, as well as, more importantly, losing their jobs…. It is a tactic known by every four-year old and absolutely should not be taken at face value.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who backed HTS, apparently now sees a neo-Ottoman Turkey finally replacing Iran as the aspiring hegemon in the region, with himself as sultan.

The regime’s goal is clear: buy time, reach a sweetheart deal similar to the one it was handed by the Obama administration, secure sanctions relief and opportunities to complete its nuclear weapons.

Unless Iran is stopped, it will continue covertly to advance its nuclear weapons program – regardless, of course, of any agreements made.

Will the incoming Trump administration let themselves be gamed and permit Iran to be capable of threatening the region again as soon as Trump’s term is up? Iran’s request for negotiations sadly seems part of a larger strategy to enable it to resume its reign of terror. The Trump administration must not allow it to succeed…. Make Persia Safe Again! — for the Iranian people and for enduring global peace.

The Iranian regime has made a sudden and calculated move to engage in talks about nuclear weapons. The UK, France, and Germany have announced that negotiations will begin on January 13.
