Fasching season cancelled in Munich for fear of another Muslim attack

Tomorrow is Shrove Tuesday, the day before Lent, the Christian season of fasting and penance in preparation for Easter. In many nominally Christian countries, people mark the day before a season of sobriety with carnivals and other events of gaiety, costumes, bibulousness, fun and frolic. 

There's the famous carnival in Brazil and, of course, Mardi Gras down in the Big Easy. Pre-Lenten carnival celebrations are traditional in Germany too, where the carnival season goes by different names: Karneval, Fasching, and Fastnacht. While all three stem from the same pre-Lenten tradition, each region in Germany has its own customs.

Alas, there will be no Karneval, Fasching or Fastnacht in Munich, Germany, this year. Authorities have cancelled the traditional carnival celebrations following the Islamic terror attack on a demonstration in the city that left two dead and 39 injured. 

Officials in the Bavarian capital announced on 19 February that neither the "Nonsense Thursday" event, which was to be held on February 27th, nor the Shrove Tuesday celebration will take place this year. A third carnival event in the city's central pedestrian zone has also been cancelled. 

Need we tell you why? In a statement released six days after the horrific attack on a crowd of innocent people, city officials said they had not taken the decision lightly but "as a city family it is unimaginable for us to light-heartedly celebrate carnival after the attack and especially after the deaths of our colleague and her daughter." 

So the cancellation was an act of mourning, then? Noooo. Security concerns were the true reason. In recent months, Germany has seen an unprecedented spate of terrorist attacks by Muslim immigrants, "refugees" and asylum-seekers. 

On 23 August 2024, a Syrian immigrant allegedly killed three people and injured eight in a stabbing attack on a "Festival for Diversity" [sic] in Solingen, for which Islamic State claimed responsibility. 

On 20 December 2024, a Syrian immigrant rammed a vehicle into a Christmas market in Magdeburg, leaving six people dead and 300 injured.

This past January 22nd, an Afghan asylum-seeker stabbed a two-year-old child and a 41-year-old man to death in Aschaffenburg, where carnival parades have also been put on hold. 

The German people have noticed, as witness the spectacular rise of the Alternativ für Deutschland (AfD) in February's election. Commenting on the decision to cancel the Munich events, columnist Julian Reichelt pointed out the irony of a standard phrase uttered almost daily by German politicians over the past few years: "We will not let Islamists change our way of life."

To Angela Merkel, Fred Merz and the others who keep saying there's no problem with mass immigration, Walt says: Ist Ihnen nicht aufgefallen, dass sich Ihr Lebensstil bereits verändert hat? Und nicht zum Besseren.

More "Allahu akbar!" in Germany... implications for USA and Canada

German chancellor Olaf Scholz said this weekend that his government remains committed to former chancellor Angela Merkel's policy of welcoming foreign invaders "for humanitarian and legal reasons". However, he said "Irregular migration into Germany must go down." Sounds to Walt like sucking and blowing at the same time, but why (I hear you ask) would Herr Scholz speak out in the middle of a quiet summer weekend. Here's a visual clue.

Yes, dear readers, another of those poor persecuted Muslims has done it again. Pictured is someone the polizei and politically correct media refer to as "Issa Al H", a 26-year-old Syrian "refugee". Al stabbed three people to death and wounded 8 others in an attack in Solingen on Friday. It wasn't an accident. The cops say he went for the throat every time.

The authorities (and in Germany that word means a lot) at first wouldn't name the attacker, nor would they speculate on his motive for the atrocity. But once Islamic State/ISIS claimed responsibility for the crime, they decided something had to be said, hence the statement from the Chancellor, who said today, "This was terrorism, terrorism against us all."  

How about that?! A politician with the courage to utter the T-word. But not enough courage to add adjectives such as "Islamic" or "Muslim".

Herr Scholz also said his government would have to do "everything we can to ensure that those who cannot and should not stay here in Germany are repatriated and deported" and that deportations would be sped up if necessary. He also promised to tighten laws on weapons ownership -- not "guns" but "weapons"-- "very quickly". 

This latest incident of wanton terrorism by a jihadi wannabe exacerates an already heated debate in das Vaterland about the merits (if any) of migration. On Saturday, conservative opposition leader Friedrich Merz demanded an end to taking in refugees from Syria and Afghanistan and called for controls on all of Germany’s borders. 

 

More significantly, Alice Weidel, leader of the Alternativ für Deutschland (AfD), has gone a step further and wants a complete stop to all migration. Any honest opinion poll [an oxymoron for sure. Ed.] would show the majority of Germans (as well as citizens of the AABC countries) in partial or full agreement with that proposition. 

The centre-left government of Chancellor Scholz has already pledged to deport migrants who have committed serious crimes and people whose application for asylum has been rejected. But it would appear that they have entrusted the job to the  German equivalent of America's "border czar", as very few of the benefits-shoppers have actually been sent back to their shitholes.

Mr Al-Stabby there came to Germany in 2022 as a Syrian "refugee". Usually Syrians have a good chance of being granted asylum in Germany, but his application was rejected and he was ordered to be deported to Bulgaria, because he had already registered for asylum there. But when the polizei tried to deport him, they were shocked, shocked to be unable to find him, and he remained in Germany. 

As I write I am waiting for results from yesterday's election in Saxony and Thuringia, two large eastern German states whose people are said to be less welcoming to invaders than the more liberal volk of western Germany. The AfD is expected to do well and may even win the most votes. America's Dimocrats and Canada's Gliberals should... repeat, should... take note.

VIDEO: "Allahu akbar!" in Moscow?

Looks like last night wasn't a good time to go out to pubs, clubs and concerts in Moscow, the capital of the Russian Empire (including Ukraine - NOT!) You've probably seen this video already, but just in case...

This happened at Crocus City Hall, a well-known Moscow region shopping centre and concert venue. [When I first saw "Crocus City", I thought of Crocus SK, just down the road from Lilac, made famous by George Bain. Ed.]

At least three gunmen, possibly as many as five, dressed in combat fatigues, burst into the concert hall and fired automatic weapons, injuring dozens of patrons and killing a significant number of them, according to Russian media. Russia's Federal Security Service(FSB), the main successor to the Soviet-era KGB, said about 40 people were killed while a regional ministry, quoted by the Tass news agency, said 145 were wounded. 

The death toll made it one of the worst attacks on Russia since the 2004 Beslan school siege, when Islamist militants took more than 1000 people, including hundreds of children, hostage. Children were reported to be among the dead and injured at the concert. Dozens of ambulances arrived at the Sklifosovsky emergency care institute in Moscow.

In a post on Telegram, Islamic State (aka ISIS) said its "fighters" attacked on the outskirts of Moscow "killing and wounding hundreds and causing great destruction to the place before they withdrew to their bases safely." 

A spokesthingy for the Russian Foreign Ministry called it a "bloody terrorist attack" that the entire world should condemn. The United States, European and Arab powers and many former Soviet republics expressed shock, condemned the attack and sent their condolences. Ukrainian presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak denied any Ukrainian involvement. 

Two weeks ago, the American embassy in Russia warned that "extremists" -- notice they didn't say "Muslim fanatics" or "Islamic extremists" -- had imminent plans for an attack in Moscow. The embassy issued its warning several hours after the FSB said it had foiled an attack on a Moscow synagogue by a cell of Islamic State. "While events continue to unfold, we strongly recommend that U.S. citizens in Moscow avoid the area, follow the instructions of local security services and keep an eye on local media updates," the US embassy said today.

To Vlad "the Impaler" Putin and his military advisors, Walt sez: Ya see? It's not Ukrainian nationalists you should be worrying about. It's those damn Islamists. What're you doing attack the Ukrainians? Swivel your guns about 220 degrees and send the jihadis to Paradise!

Portrait of an Assassin

"Assassination" and "assassin" are words you don't hear or read much any more. The word "assassin" is often believed to derive from the word hashshashin (Arabic: حشّاشين), and shares its etymological roots with "hashish", because the original Assassins were believed to do their assassinating when under the influence of that drug.

The Assassins were group of Nizari Ismailis -- Muslims -- who worked against various political targets. Founded by Hassan-i Sabbah, the Assassins were active in the fortress of Alamut in Persia from the 8th to the 14th centuries A.D., and later expanded into a de facto state -- like a caliphate -- by acquiring or building many scattered strongholds. According to Wikipedia, the Assassins killed members of the Abbasid, Seljuk, Fatimid, and Christian Crusader elite for "political and religious reasons."

"Political and religious reasons", eh. Hmm. A week ago, Sir David Amess, a devout Catholic Member of the British Parliament was murdered while holding a meet-and-greet for his constituents. Was he killed for political and religious reasons? 

For almost a week, British authorities, motivated no doubt by political correctness and the need to avoid stoking the fires of Islamophobia, identified Sir David's killer as just "a man". When a truth-teller averred that the "man" was actually a Somali "refugee", the party line changed to "a British national of Somali descent." Still no name, and no mention of the killer's religion or motivation.

Yesterday the Crown Prosecution Service finally identified the "man" as Ali Harbi Ali, a 25-year-old "British man with Somali heritage." According to AlJazeera, Mr Ali is the son of Harbi Ali Kullane, a former media adviser to a former prime minister of Somalia. How Mr Ali became "British" is a mystery. So is his religion. 

The spokesthingy for the CPS did say, though, that "We will submit to the court that this murder has a terrorist connection, namely that it had both religious and ideological motivations. He has also been charged with the preparation of terrorist acts."

"Religious and ideological motivations", eh. Such as? When Mr Ali made his first court appearance yesterday, the Crown Prosecutor told the court that Mr Ali considered himself affiliated with the Islamic State, and had settled on a plan to kill a lawmaker "years ago".

The police, however, were a little more circumspect. Inspector Knacker of the Yard told the meeja, "I understand the huge level of public interest in this case, but now a charge has been brought, it is vitally important that everyone exercises restraint when commenting on it publicly, to ensure future court proceedings are not prejudiced in any way."

Yes. We mustn't let Islamophobia cause us to jump to any conclusions, or to call Mr Ali any names, like "assassin".

"Allahu akbar!" in... Afghanistan?! What'd I tell you...

The Associated Press mojo wire today spat out a story from Afghanistan which attracted only a little notice from the controlled media. In "Taliban-controlled Afghanistan" (the new politically correct way of referring to the shithole that 1000s of Westerners died trying to civilize), an ISIS suicide bomber struck at a mosque packed with Shiite Muslim worshippers in the northern city of Kunduz. 

Friday is a prime day of Muslim-on-Muslim attacks, because followers of the Prophet can be found kneeling in prayer, heads down and asses up. You can't miss! Today's bombing sent at least 46 people to Paradise, and wounded dozens more.

In its claim of responsibility, broadcast on the ISIS-linked Aamaq news agency, the region’s ISIS affiliate identified the bomber as a Uygher Muslim, saying the attack targeted both Shiites and the mainly Sunni Taliban for their purported willingness to expel Uyghers to meet demands from China. The blast was just the latest in a series of ISIS bombings and shootings that have targeted Afghanistan's new Taliban rulers, as well as religious institutions and minority Shiites since American and other NATO troops fled in disarray at the end of August.

May I now say for the last time [Really? Ed.] that Western nations had no business intervening in what was and still is an ongoing Muslim civil war. Likewise, we have no responsibility to send millions of dollars in food and other aid to avoid the imminent "humanitarian disaster" which the liberals are now saying is somehow all our fault. The Islamists' "Religion of Peace" is the cause of their misery. That's all ye know and all ye need to know.

Biden's tough response to Afghanistan defeat: Kill some kids

In a futile attempt to appear something less than weak and incompetent in the aftermath of the killing of 13 Americans troops just before the tail-betwee-the-legs withdrawal of US forces at the end of August, "President" Biden promised those responsible for the dastardly attack in Kabul, "We will hunt you down. We will make you pay." Watch the video, from 0:51 to the end.

   

Of course Sleepy Joe didn't name those responsible, but most of us wanted to believe that he (or those who pull his strings) had in mind the Islamic State in Khorasan Province (ISKP - aka ISIS-K), named by AlJazeera as IS's affiliate in Afghanistan. Many of us, knowing Mr Biden's track record of saying much and delivering little, and knowing that US forces would be out of Afcrapistan in a matter of days, said, "Good luck!" 

Thus the Americans responsible for the debacle came immediately under the pressure of public opinion to Do Something, Fast. And so they did. We were told that although the US military was pulling out of the shithole, it still had "over-the-horizon" capability, meaning that it could blow up things animate and inanimate from the safety of a bunker in a neighbouring friendly country, such as... errr... 

On August 29th, the Pentagon announced that a drone strike, controlled from an undisclosed location, had succeeded in killing an ISIS-K militant loading his car with explosives in preparation for yet another attack on retreating Americans and their Afghan collaborators. The New York Times has extensive video coverage here. 

Sadly, the NYT videos are now he3adlines "Did a U.S. Drone Strike in Afghanistan Kill the Wrong Person?" The answer to their question is YES. Ten Afghan civilians, including seven children, died in the carnage shown in this picture. 

The drone strike sent a 20-pound Hellfire missile into the car of Zemari Ahmade, an aid worker. Military intelligence -- an oxymoron if ever there was one -- called the threat posed by the car "imminent", and defended the drone attack as a "righteous strike." 

Officials said the military believed the car was being packed with explosives for an attack. But footage obtained by the Times suggests Mr Ahmadi was actually loading the car with water containers for his home, where the water supply had been cut off. 

Mr Ahmadi was a 14-year employee of Nutrition & Education International, an American NGO that fights malnutrition. He helped start up soy factories, repair machinery, transport his colleagues and distribute food from his Corolla to displaced Afghans. 

The use of drones in counterterrorism operations has consistently been among the most controversial aspects of America's global war on terror, particularly due to their association with civilian casualties. 

Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and General Mark Milley have yet to appear before any Congressional committee to defend their roles in the Middle East mess. But it doesn't appear that they have any plans to stop raining down fire and brimstone from over the horizon. 

After all, children have been used as suicide bombers before, right? So the Pentagon may have been right after all. Who ya gonna believe -- the US military or the New York Times?

"Allahu akbar!" in New Zealand! Islamic extremist stabs "at least six"

Remember what happened in New Zealand on 15 March 2019? A lone Australian, Brenton Harrison Tarrant, entered two mosques in Christchurch during Friday prayers, and shot 51 Muslims deade, wounding another 40. He was vilified in media reports as a white supremacist, racist, Islamophobe, extremist, terrorist, part of the alt-right, yada yada yada. 

New Zealand's super-woke Prime Minister Jacinda "Karen" Ardern said it would be wrong even to say or print Mr Tarrant's name, and banned publication of the video and manifestor which he had posted online before the attack. He was subsequently sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole – the first such sentence ever imposed in New Zealand.

Today, in beautiful downtown Auckland, police on Friday shot and killed a knife-wielding "extremist" -- notice the words "Islamic" or "Muslim" have been omitted -- who was "known to authorities." Before being shot, the assailant wounded at least six people (three seriously), all the while yelling "Allahu akbar!"

The attacker, whom the Authorities would not identify by name, was one of the 100s of "refugees" New Zealand welcomed 10 years ago, supposedly fleeing persecution during the Sri Lankan civil war. He was inspired (they admit) by the Islamic State militant group and was being monitored constantly... although not so closely as to prevent the "incident". 

When asked if the attack could have been revenge for the 2019 mosque shootings, Prime Minister Ardern said it was not clear. "A violent extremist undertook a terrorist attack on innocent New Zealanders," she told the meeja. 

"He obviously was a supporter of ISIS ideology," said Karen, but the attack "was hateful, it was wrong. It was carried out by an individual, not a faith. It would be wrong to direct any frustration to anyone beyond this individual." Yeah, sure. 

Q.: How many Islamic extremists does it take to change a light bulb? 

A.: Two. One to change the bulb and one to praise Allah for this incredibly sophisticated science, which was known to Arabs long before infidels stole it from them. 

Q.: How many Islamic extremists does it take to attack (with intent to kill) six "infidels" in a rampage of stabbling? 

A.: Just one. 

Q.: How many Islamic extremists are included in the 1000s of followers of the Prophet that Sleepy Joe Biden and Justin "Blackie" Trudeau are sending into your community, right now? 

A.: Who knows? None of this latest horde of "refugees" are being screened. All are presumed to be victims of Taliban terror, not the kind of Muslim fanatics who believes that infidels should be killed wherever they may be found... even in faraway New Zealand.

"Allahu akbar!" in Kabul: 12 US service personnel reported dead

Breaking news from Afcrapistan is that two separate suicides bombings around Kabul airport have left at some 40 dead -- including 11 United States Marines and a USN medic -- and scores wounded and injured. Is anyone surprised?

The bombings occurred outside the airport, where large crowds of people trying to flee Afghanistan have gathered as they await flights out of the country. Western nations had warned earlier in the day of a possible attack there in the waning days of a massive airlift.

Earlier today, several countries urged people to avoid the airport, with one saying there was a threat of a suicide bombing. But just days before the evacuation effort is scheduled to end, few appeared to heed the warning.

Over the last week, the airport has been the scene of some of the most searing images of the chaotic end of America's longest war and the Taliban's takeover, as flight after flight took off carrying those who fear a return to the militant Muslims' brutal rule.

Already, some countries, inclluding Canada, have ended their evacuations and begun to withdraw their soldiers and diplomats, signalling the beginning of the end of one of history's largest airlifts. The last Canadian Armed Forces flight out left just a few hours before the bombings.

Suspicion for any attack targeting the crowds would likely fall on a splinter Islamic State group called ISIS-K, not the Taliban, who have been deployed at the airport's gates trying to control the mass of people. The Taliban have so far honoured a pledge not to attack Western forces during the evacuation, but insist that foreign troops must be out by Sleepy Joe Biden's self-imposed deadline of this coming Tuesday.

This Mohammed here has been identified as the perpetrator of the "martyrdom operation". 

He is now in Islamic Paradise, one presumes, being serviced by 72 virgins.

This debacle, 20 years in the making, is the fault of the total and ajbect failure or the foreign policies of the Paranoid States of America and its Western Allies. For two decades, the USA, under both Republican and Democratic presidents, has insisted that it had a responsibility to protect the poor people of not just Afghanistan but the entire Middle East, and that the best way to do that is to act as peacekeepers and "nation-builders". Ha!

I'll say once again that we set ourselves up to be referees in a Muslim civil war which was none of our business -- none whatever! This War for Nothing -- if I may coin a phrase -- has cost the Western nations 1000s of lives and billions of dollars. All for nothing. And now four more Americans are added to the casualty list. Will they be the last? Five days to go. Stay tuned.

"Allahu akbar!" at home in Afghanistan -- dozens, including newborns, killed

For the last couple of months, the Covid-19 "crisis", aka the Dempanic, as been not just the top story in our (((controlled media))), but, it would seem, the only story. They are so busy signalling virtue and pointing fingers that they have no time or space to report on threats to our way of life greater than those posed by the corona virus or the Chinese.

I refer to the militant Muslims, the Islamic terrorists whose aim is to kill us infidels -- all of us -- and conquer the world for Allah and his prophet, Mohammed.

That the jihadis have not been more active in North America and Europe of late is due in no small part to the closing of borders, following the lead given by Still-President Trump. But just because the terrorists have to stay at home doesn't mean that they've declared a "pauses" in their activity. Instead, they are killing other citizens of their shithole countries -- the ones that don't share their particular brand of the "Religion of Peace" (TM).

Just this week, militant Islamists attacked a maternity hospital -- let me say that again: maternity hospital -- in beautiful downtown Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan. They killed 23 people, including two newborn babies, their mothers and an unspecified number of nurses. In the photo you see an Afghan soldier carrying in his arms the body of a dead baby.

Why would the jihadis attack a materntiy hospital? Because it's in Dashti Barchi, a mostly Shiite neighbourhood. The jihadis, you see, are Sunni Muslims. [Didn't Canuck PM Justin Trudeau say, "Sunni ways, my friends... Sunni ways."? Ed.] So the mothers were giving birth to little Muslims, OK, but not the right kind of Muslims!

No-one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, but both the Taliban and the Islamic State frequently target Afghan military and security forces in Kabul, as well as civilians. The Taliban denied they were involved. In the past, most of the attacks in Dashti Barchi were carried out by ISIS. "Allahu akbar!!!"

Afghan and US officials have been telling us for months now that the ISIS affiliate in Afghanistan has been weakened as a result of relentless American bombing raids on the group's stronghold in eastern Nangarhar province, as well as military operations by Afghan security forces and attacks by ISIS' rivals, Taliban insurgents.

If you believe that, consider the evidence of a separate attack on the same day, in which a suicide bomber targeted the funeral in Khewa district of a local pro-government militia commander and former warlord who had died of a heart attack Monday night. 24 mourners were killed and  68 wounded.

The dead included Abdullah Lala Jan, a provincial council member, while his father Noor Agha, a lawmaker, was wounded in the attack. In a statement posted online late Tuesday, the Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the bombing.

And so it goes. Cradle to grave, the Islamic terrorists are determined to get ya! Yesterday Afghanistan, tomorrow... who knows?

Al-Baghdadi: no longer wanted, much longer dead

So, farewell then, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. You were killed this weekend in a US special forces operation in the Syrian province of Idlib. Of you, President Trump said, "He was a sick and depraved man, and now he is gone."

"Last night, the United States brought the world's number one terrorist leader to justice," said POTUS. "Al-Baghdadi is dead. He reached the end of the tunnel as our dogs chased him down." Mr Trump added. When he was cornered, al-Baghdadi detonated a suicide vest laden with explosives, killing himself and three of his children. These and other gruesome details of how the ISIS leader "died like a dog" were revealed by the President in a nearly 50-minute live press conference in which he described the operation and answered journalists' questions about the raid and his strategy in Syria.

US special forces raided the compound where al-Baghdadi was hiding (apparently being sheltered by al-Qaeda, sometime competitors of ISIS) under order to take the terrorist chief alive. To prevent being taken alive, al-Baghdadi blew himself into little terrorist bits. Some of the pieces were large enough to enable able identification by conducting an onsite DNA test. This was crucial given that al-Baghdadi had been declared dead several times in the past.

Although one of the dogs was hurt, there were no human American casualties during the operation. POTUS said US soldiers were able to capture critical material about Islamic State, including information about its origins and future plans. US intelligence knew about al-Baghdadi's whereabouts for a couple of weeks, he said. "He spent his last moments in utter fear, in panic and dread, terrified of American forces coming down on him."

The death of the ISIS "caliph" has been called a crippling blow to the once-influential Islamic terrorist group. And it is a clear and stunning victory for the American military and its Commander-in-Chief. And yet, predictably, the lefties and never-Trumpers are saying otherwise. The Dumbocrats are complaining that POTUS didn't notify them of the impending raid, and invite Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer to join him in the White House to watch the event unfold.

The usual "experts" are being quoted by the lamestream media, predicting the death of the "austere religious scholar" (as WaPo called al-Baghdadi -- you couldn't make it up!) could unleash retaliatory attacks in both the Middle East and North America. Several Canadian "Middle East researchers" have said al-Baghdadi's death could prompt blowback from sleeper cell ISIS members hiding in other countries. "Every time that a terrorist group suffers an important defeat like this, whether it's the death of its leader or something else, you have to expect the possibility that this will motivate them for revenge," said Thomas Juneau, a Middle East "expert" at the University of Ottawa.

Personally, I'm not worried. The death of al-Baghdadi may not be the mortal blow that kills ISIS once and for all -- Islamic extremists will be amongst us and against us for a long time yet -- but it's a start. I'm happy to leave it to the Turks or the Kurds or the Russians or anyone else (even the Canucks) to carry on the fight against Islamic terrorism (a phrase strangely absent from most of the lamestream media reports) if they so choose. If they won't or can't contain and destroy ISIS, I'm confident America will do the job, when and if necessary.

Further reading: "Trump accused of 'war crimes' by liberal journos after his al-Baghdadi presser", Business & Politics, 27/10/19. I swear, if Trump walked on water, the lamestream media would say he couldn't swim!

Eurabia news roundup - latest on the yellow vests

Walt didn't spend a lot of time this weekend thinking, let alone worrying about the latest examples of the Islamization of Europe and the revolt of white Christians against it. But I won't leave you without a quick summary of what happened, since WWW may be the only place where you'll see the truth.

The death toll from the Strasbourg Christmas market shooting rose to five -- six if you count the Islamic terrorist, Cherif Chekatt, who was shot dead by French police after a two-day manhunt which led to his discovery not far from the scene of the atrocity. In an interview with state-run broadcaster France-2, the Algerian man's father said his son subscribed to the beliefs of the Islamic State (ISIS). Abdelkrim Chekatt said he tried to talk his son out of doing anything, but kids, what're ya gonna do...

Meanwhile, police in Paris said they were optimistic that the gilets jaunes (= yellow vests) protests were waning, since only 5000 or so demonstrators turned out for the festivities on Saturday. Police used water cannon, batons and tear gas to deal with the demonstrators. 168 people were arrested on Saturday alone. One was not arrested because he was dead.

Ahead of more protests expected the weekend before Christmas, French security forces are preparing to smother the centre of Paris with a "last resort" chemical weapon -- a debilitating powder which can be spread across an area the size of six football fields in just ten seconds. That Emperor Macron the First [and last! Ed.] is contemplating chemical warfare against its own citizens highlights the increasing desperation of his government as it faces up to a law and order crisis which is rapidly turning into a rightist revolution.

Meanwhile (again) yellow vests protests intensified in the Netherlands and Belgium. In Brussels, over 5000 of sprouts wearing the iconic apparel were met with water cannon and tear gas as they marched against the UN migration pact signed last week in Marrakech, which they fear could lead to an increase in immigration. (Duh!). The rightist N-VA party, the largest member of Belgium's ruling coalition, left the Belgian government last Sunday in protest against the prime minister's decision to sign the agreement.

The president of the youth wing of the Flemish nationalist party, Vlaams Belang, told the meeja that people should have been consulted before Belgium signed up to the deal. "It's been approved apparently, but the opinion of the people was never asked." A spokesthingy for the nationalist youth organisation Schild en Vrienden, said the protesters wanted to "raise our voice against the Marrakech pact. We think the decision was not made in a democratic way, with a minority in government and a minority of the Belgian people," he said. "That's what we are protesting against."

For those who don't read Flemish, the signs the protesters are carrying read "First OUR people". Nice sentiment, that.

Footnote: Even in Toronto, the poster city for the benefits of multiculturalism, Canucks weary of diversity are starting to raise their voices against unprecedented levels of immigration. A couple of hundred yellow-vested protesters got together in front of city hall for a scuffle with a like number, also clad in yellow vests, who turned up to support the migration pact, which Junior Trudeau has approved on behalf of sheeplike Canadians. As reported here on December 8th, similar protests were held earlier this month in Calgary and Edmonton, but the opinions of red-neck westerners don't count with Mr Socks.

ISIS AGAIN claims responsibility for Toronto mass shooting

Way back in July -- how quickly we forget -- a lone gunman opened fire into a crowd into a crowd of restaurant-goers on Danforth Avenue, in Toronto's famous Greektown, killing two innocent people and wounding 15 before turning the gun on himself. No shouts of "Allahu akbar!" were heard, and the identity of the killer was suppressed by the police and lamestream media. Walt was one of many who speculated that Faisal Hussain -- for that was his name -- was an Islamic extremist. See "Non-gangsta gunman shoots 14 in Toronto", WWW 23/7/18.

The official politically correct government line, right from the get-go, was that Mr Hussain was mentally ill. That he happened to be an Afghan "newcomer" and a follower of the prophet was just a coincidence. Within hours, hours of the release of the accused's name, a professionally-written statement, in proper English, was sent out "on behalf of the Hussain family", explaining that "our son had severe mental health challenges, struggling with psychosis and depression his entire life."

The statement was written by Mohammed [What else? Ed.] Hashim, a full-time organizer for the Toronto & York Region Labour Council. Social media accounts belonging to Mr Hashim show him heavily involved in supporting NDP (= "social democratic") candidates both federally and provincially in Ontario. He's also described as a driving force behind the National Council of Canadian Muslims. See "Meet the spin doctor behind the Hussain family statement", by Anthony Furey, in the Toronto Sun, 25/7/18.

Walt's bullshit meter went right off the scale on that one, the more so when, on the very same day, ISIS/ISIL claimed responsibility for the vicious attack. See "'Allahu akbar!' ISIS claims responsibility for Greektown shooting", WWW 25/7/18. One of Canada's "independent" broadcasters (but not the state-owned Canadian Broadcorping Castration) passing on a quote from the Islamic terrorists' AMAQ news agency, which referred to Mr Hussain as "a soldier of the Islamic State" who "carried out the attack in response to calls to target the citizens of the coalition countries."

Although one must always take claims from ISIS/ISIL cum grano salis, Toronto Police Chief Mark Saunders put extra lipstick on the pig, saying his force's investigation had uncovered "no evidence to support these claims." The government called in the usual gang of "terrorism experts" to warn against accepting the ISIL claim at face value. "We'll look into it further, but don't expect a conclusion other than that Hussain was such a wild and crazy guy. Nothing to see here, folks."

Ah yes... we're looking into it... the default response of "the authorities" to anything that doesn't accord with the liberal line that Islam is a religion of peace, there's no jihad going on, and "diversity is our strength" (gaggg). Indeed, the investigation is still "active and ongoing", according to an affidavit filed by the Toronto police in response to an application in Ontario's Superior Court by several news outlets to smash the cone of silence and unseal details of the search warrants in the case. The cops are fighting to prevent the release of the information "to ensure the integrity of the investigation is maintained." Oh, hahahahahaha...

Meanwhile, this past Sunday, a propaganda video released by pro-Islamic State media named July's atrocity as IS's "most successful foreign operation of the year." The video by the Al-Abd Al-Faqir Media Foundation mimics a corporate year-end review of operations. Called "Harvest of the Lone Lions", it features excerpts from the most recent speech by Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi, the leader of ISIS/ISIL, in which he praises attackers in the West, according to a translation by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).

The information on the Toronto attack includes imagery taken from mainstream media after the shooting, including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau speaking to the media. The rating and casualty information is superimposed over an animated scene of a tattered Canadian flag in a burning urban landscape.

As noted above, this is not the first such claim by IS. Nor is it the second. This is the third claim connecting the deadly attack to ISIS/ISIL, but still the Canuck authorities say they have no evidence from ISIL or its media affiliates that the gunman acted on behalf of any organizations. Requests from the Canuck meeja for comment on this latest claim have so far not been answered. M-103.

By the company they keep shall ye know them

Canada's Liberal Party, which presently forms the federal government (but just till October 2019!) and ruled the province of Ontario for 15 years until a fed-up public turfed them out in June, has often been accused of cozying up to Muslims. Putting the welcome mat out for Muslim refugees, M-103 (which prohibits saying anything bad about Islam), a Somali-born Muslim as Minister for Refugees -- it's all part of the irreversible browning of Canada. Not to mention Isalmization [M-103! Ed.] and adding 1000s of Mohammeds to the Liberal voter base.

Every once in a while a story emerges to prove that what the liberal progressives claim is a nutty conspiracy theory is actually true. Here's an interesting photo, taken in 2013, showing John Fraser (second from left), a member of the Ontario legislature and now leader of the Liberal Party in that province, and David McGuinty (second from right), a Liberal member of the federal parliament (and brother of the second-last Liberal premier of Ontario) at the Assalam mosque in Ottawa, the capital of Canuckistan.

The Assalam mosque is notable for having just been stripped of its status as a charity by the Canada Revenue Agency (the Canadian version of the IRS). Why? Well... errr... because of "activities that promote hate and intolerance". ☪ Hate and intolerance. In a temple of the Religion of Peace™. Can you imagine ?!?!™

Losing its charitable status means the mosque no longer benefits from the tax advantages enjoyed by government-registered charities. Even better, it can't collect money to support Islamic terrorism and allow donors to claim their contributions as income tax deductions.

The CRA took the action against the Ottawa Islamic Centre and Assalam Mosque following audits that raised concerns about the Islamic extremists who appeared there as guest speakers. In a letter to the mosque's executive, a CRA bureaucrat wrote, "Many of the views expressed by the organization's speakers are misogynistic, homophobic, racist and/or promote violence." Again... imagine that!

The CRA also expressed concern that "radicalized individuals" had attended the mosque. One such jihadi-wannabe, Ashton Larmond, is now doing time in the federal rock hockey arena for attempting to join ISIS.

Canada's Global News published documents detailing the results of the CRA audits. The agency admitted being unable to determine exactly what the various speakers said while rousing the rabble at the mosque, but found views publicly expressed elsewhere by a number of the speakers and found them to be at odds with the "public benefit| required of charities under Canadian tax law.

The documents singled out Abu Usamah At-thahabi, Bilal Philips, Hakkeem Quick and Saed Rageah, all of whom had spoken at the Assalam mosque one or more times. According to the CRA, Mr At-thahabi has called women "deficient", said Christians and Jews were enemies (no surprise there), spoke about throwing homosexuals off a mountain, and said apostates -- people who leave the Islamic faith -- should be killed.

Mr Philips has been denied entry to several countries (but not Canada, thanks to the Liberal open border policy) and has been described as "anti-Semitic, intolerant and 'contrary to integration'", whatever that means. In a video described in the CRA documents, he said Islam was opposed to terrorism but "does not shrink from using violence to gain some of its ends, to establish itself in certain areas/to gain control of Muslim lands."

Mr Quick had "advocated for the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem to be liberated from the filth of the Jews" and was condemned by the New Zealand Broadcasting Authority in 2004 for what was termed "hate speech" towards homosexuals, the CRA said. Mr Rageah runs a Toronto Islamic centre. The CRA quoted an Australian newspaper report that said he had been denied entry to the country and "displayed anti-Western and homophobic attitudes."

According to the documents, the CRA also has concerns with regard to Mr. Rageahès relationship with the Al-Magrib Institute, and his role as founder and leader of the Journey of Faith conference, which has afforded individuals known for their extremist opinions an opportunity to address thousands of gatherers in Toronto.

Walt is shocked, shocked, not by the list of provocations and offences committed by these apostles of militant Islam, but by the fact that the Assalam Mosque and Ottawa Islamic Centre are actually being punished (albeit mildly) for hosting them. You'd think with Liberal friends like Messrs Fraser and McGuinty they'd be able to preach hatred with impunity.

"Allahu akbar!" ISIS claims responsibility for Greektown shooting

One of Canada's "independent" broadcasters scooped the state-owned Canadian Broadcorping Castration a few minutes ago with a report that ISIS (or ISIL or IS or the Islamic State -- whatever) has claimed responsibility for Sunday night's mass shooting in Toronto's Greektown. However, they have not provided any evidence or support for the unsubstantiated claim.

CTV is passing on a Reuters report which quotes a statement released by the Islamic terrorists' AMAQ news agency, which referred to 29-year-old Faisal Hussain, pictured, as "a soldier of the Islamic State" who "carried out the attack in response to calls to target the citizens of the coalition countries." That's pretty much a set-in-cold-type statement from ISIS, which regularly claims responsibility for attacks carried out in the West, but those attacks are not always found to be inspired or directed by the terrorist organization.

The CBC may be a bit slow to pick up this story, since it contradicts the official Liberal government line, parroted just yesterday by Ralph Goodale, the Minister of Public Safety [sic], that the matter was being investigated by Toronto police (read: not by the feds) and that neither the "incident" nor Mr Hussain were in any way "connected with national security". I've never understood why poor ole Ralph, a nice guy from Saskatchewan, has to carry the can on the terrorism file. Why don't they ask Just In Trudeau or the Somali-born Minister of Refugees &c [sic].

Toronto police, meanwhile, have come up with a theory about where Mr Hussain got his gun. As Walt told you, the Thorncliffe Park area of Toronto, where the family lived, is infested with "refugees" and with gangs of Afghans and other scum. Mr Hussain's older brother (who is conveniently can't be interviewed, since he's in hospital in a coma) had ties to one of those gangs, Inspector Knacker says, and probably gave the gun to his kid brother.

The cops have executed a search warrant in the Pakistani family's apartment on the 7th floor of the refugee camp at 43 Thorncliffe Park and are expected to have something more to say in the next day or two about what they found.

Christian convicted of aiding Muslim jihadis

Interesting report a couple of days ago in the Washington Times under the headline "Three Florida men sentenced for providing material to support to ISIS".

Way back in July of 2016, government agents at Miami International Airport stopped ex-Marine Gregory Hubbard, 54, who was attempting to get on a plane bound for Syria, where he intended to join ISIS. Apparently Mr Hubbard was impressed by the example of Cassius Clay (aka Muhammad Ali) and converted to the Religion of Peace some years ago, without, however, changing his name to something more Islamic. By 2016 he had become convinced that the sure way to Paradise (and the services of 72 virgins) was to join the jihad against infidels.

The Justice Department announced this week that Mr Hubbard would be spending the next 12 years as the guest of the state, i.e. in prison. But he won't be alone. Two co-defendants, also converts to Islam and, like Mr Hubbard, sometime residents of Palm Beach County FL, were convicted of plotting to provide guns and other help to the Islamic State, and received lesser sentences. One of them was Darren Arness Jackson, 52, who got four years. The other, who received a sentence of eight years, was 33-year-old Dayne Christian.

"Allahu akbar!" again. This time Russia. Next time... who knows?

"Allahu akbar"! The Islamists were at it again, but you probably didn't read about it in the Western (((controlled media))) because (a) only five people were killed, (b) they were women, (c) they were Christians attending a church service, and (d) they were Russians.

Another reason for the disinterest in Muslim attacks on "infidels" is that it happened in Dagestan. Who knows where that is? [I know! It's a supposedly autonomous republic of Russia, on the western shore of the Caspian Sea. You can look it up. Ed.] There, in the city of Kizlyar, a man opened fire with a hunting rifle on worshippers -- mostly women -- a Russian Orthodox church after celebrations for Maslenitsa, a traditional pre-Lent festival.

RBK, a Russian news outlet, quoted a priest as saying the attack took place immediately following the afternoon service. "We had finished the mass and were beginning to leave the church. A bearded man ran towards the church shouting 'Allahu Akbar!' [Arabic for "God is great"] and killed four people. He was carrying a rifle and a knife."

Four women were killed on the spot; one died in hospital soon after. One of them was an award-winning doctor, Lyudmila Shcherbakova, who had more than 40 years' experience working in Dagestan's hospitals. Five other people, including a police officer and a national guardsman, were wounded, two of them critically. Doctors are seen here attending to one of the victims.

The attacker was shot and killed by police at the scene. He was later identified as 22-year-old Khalil Khalilov, a local resident. Authorities have detained his wife for questioning, but, like their counterparts in Germany, Sweden, Britain and [That's enough politically correct countries. Ed.] have declined to comment on the possible motive for the attack.

Walt suggests the fact that the killer shouted "Allahu akbar!" could be a clue to his motive. If that's not enough, Islamic State, through Amaq, its information (read: propaganda) wing, claimed that one of its "soldiers" had carried out the attack. A statement posted today on an ISIS-affiliated website, says a Muslim fighter attacked "a Christian temple" in Kizlyar. The authenticity of the statement couldn't be confirmed, but the website is regularly used by IS for posting militant statements. Walt is prepared to take their word for it.

"Religion of Peace": in Egypt, Muslims kill 100s of other Muslims

Islam, the self-styled "Religion of Peace", is not monolithic, any more than Christianity or the Catholic Church itself is monolithic. The two main branches or divisions of Islam are Sunni Islam and Shia Islam. The Shi'ites [Ed., please check spelling.] are the ones who dominate in Iran and Iraq, although you could get an argument about Iraq. [No kidding. Ed.] It is believed that the mad mullahs of Iran want to establish a "Shia crescent" all the way from their country through Syria and Lebanon to the Mediterranean.

The Sunnis are the other ones, a persecuted minority (?) in Iraq, but the dominant group in most of the Gulf States and, most dangerously, Saudi Arabia. Extremist Sunnis are the core of ISIS. As Junior Trudeau, who loves all Muslims, says, "Sunni ways, my friends. Sunni ways."

There are others, like Sufists or Sufi Muslims. Non-Muslims often mistake Sufism as a sect of Islam. Sufism is more accurately described as an aspect or dimension of Islam. Sufi orders (Tariqas) can be found in Sunni, Shia and other Islamic groups. Sufism is often defined as "Islamic mysticism", "the inward dimension of Islam", or "the phenomenon of mysticism within Islam", not unlike the "charismatics" of both Protestant and Catholic Christianity. Although the overwhelming majority of Sufis are adherents of Sunni Islam, there strands of Sufi practice can also be found within Shia Muslim communities.

There are fewer Sufis today than there were yesterday, in Egypt, where officials are investigating the massacre of 305 (and counting) worshippers at a Sufi mosque in the town of Bir al-Abed, in the Sinai. Witnesses say the attackers were carrying the flag of the Islamic State (ISIS) and (of course) yelling "Allahu akbar!"

They bombed the Al-Rawda mosque, driving survivors outside where dozens of gunmen opened fire on those trying to escape. The assailants reportedly set parked vehicles parked in the vicinity on fire to block off access to the building, and fired on ambulances trying to help victims. Thirty children are among the dead and more than 100 people were wounded.

Egyptian President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi has vowed to respond with "the utmost force", and the Egyptian military says it has already conducted air strikes on terrorist targets. Egyptian security forces have for years been fighting an Islamist insurgency in the Sinai peninsula, and militants affiliated with ISIS have been behind scores of deadly attacks in the desert region. "What is happening is an attempt to stop us from our efforts in the fight against terrorism," Mr Sisi said in a televised address. "The armed forces and the police will avenge our martyrs and restore security and stability with the utmost force."

And so the Islamic civil war continues. Walt wonders why we are investing financial and human resources in trying to bring peace (???) to that perpetually troubled part of the world, especially when we can no longer be sure which side is the right side to be backing. (See, for example, "Why the Canadian Army is 'suspending' ops in Iraq", WWW 28/10/17.) Why not just get our troops and matériel out of the sandpit, and let the Islamists duke it out? Answers on the back of a postage stamp, please, to the usual address.

Practical joke at ISIS HQ

Thanks and a flip of the fez to Agent 6.

UPDATED: Swedish cops confirm truck attacker a failed asylum-seeker, wanted to move to US or Canada

Told ya so! OK, I didn't spell it out in so many words, but my post "'Allahu akbar!' again; Sweden's turn this time" implied clearly [sez you! Ed.] that the perpetrator of the death-by-truck attack in Stockholm last week would turn out to be yet another crazed follower of the Prophet. Unable to maintain a politically correct silence on the murderer's nationality and religion any longer, Swedish cops today confirmed that the suspect, a native of Uzbekistan, was a rejected asylum-seeker, who eluded authorities' attempts to deport him by giving police a false address. Walt's lifetime pct .991.

Jan Evensson of the Stockholm police told a televised news conference that the 39-year-old Muslim's request for a residence permit was rejected in June 2016, but police couldn't find him to send him back to his native country because he was not at the address he had given. A warrant for his arrest had been issued on February 24th.

For some reason [like political correctness? Ed.] the cops still refuse to name the killer, even though his photo, taken by a security camera, is all over the media. I'll go out on a limb here and predict that when his name is finally released [if ever. Ed.] it will be something like... wait for it... Mohammed. Lifetime pct still .991.

A spokesthingy for Sweden's national police said, "We know [the unnamed suspect] has been sympathetic to extremist organizations." Today, Swedish prosecutors arrested a second person in connection with the truck attack case for suspected crimes against the nation and were holding four other people. Yet another spokesthingy told AP, "A person suspected of terrorist offenses by murder has been arrested." She did not give any further details about the new suspect. Want my prediction on this one or have you already figured it out? Lifetime pct still .991.

UPDATE ADDED 10/4/17: Mounting media pressure finally forced the Swedish cops to identify the 39-year-old Uzbek who mowed down 19 innocent people (4 killed, 15 injured) with a stolen beer truck as Rakhmat Akilov, who was previously denied permanent residency in Sweden. [Looks like you lose the bet on his name. Ed.] Never mind that! There's more...

Mr Akilov was reportedly following a Facebook group that offered information on how to emigrate to the United States and Canada. He also followed pages calling for the ouster of former Uzbek President Islam Karimov. Mr Akilov was detained by the police in a Stockholm suburb at 2100 local time on Friday. He is alleged to be "sympathetic to the Islamic State." Lifetime pct .990.

UK "terror incident" - Guess the missing word!

Here is a selection of headlines from the lamestream media, relating to yesterday's "terror incident" at the estate of the British parliament, in which four people were killed and 20 injured or wounded.

[That's enough headlines. Ed.] Quite right. The point of listing all these is to demonstrate the egregious self-censorship of the lamestream media (including Fox News) in the USA, Canada, and even the UK itself. What the (((controlled))) media don't want to admit in print or in broadcast news, is the fact that the attacker, who has not yet been named publicly, had been investigated by MI5, the UK intelligence service, "in relation to concerns of violent extremism".

Putting it more bluntly than the pussy-footing British PM, they know who he is, and they know he's a Muslim, an Islamic extremist, just as Walt predicted in yesterday's post. But the words "Muslim" and/or "Islamic" appear nowhere, nowhere, in any statements, press releases, or media reports of the "terror incident".

So far today I've seen only one reference to the religion or motivation of the attacker. That was in the Times of London, where the sub-head to the story titled "Seven Arrested in Terror Raids" is "Police swoop in London and Birmingham after Islamist kills three".

You're not being told that the perp is a Muslim for reasons of political correctness. I'll give Fox News credit for running "Hirsi Ali: Islamic Terrorists 'Don't Go to Liberals and Say Thank You' for Being PC". Here's a quote.

Ayaan Hirsi Ali criticized what she considered the "apologetic attitude" some liberals around the world have toward identifying the religious component to Islamic terrorism. Ali, a women rights activist who was raised Muslim in Somalia but later became an apostate, called such a mindset "masochistic and stupid." She said on Tucker Carlson Tonight that radical Islamic terrorists "don't go to liberals and say thank you so much, we'll stop terrorizing you" because of some on the left refuse to identify terrorism's religious component.

That's the problem. If they identify the Islamic terrorist as such, they challenge the liberal orthodoxy that Muslims are really nice people and don't want to kill all non-Muslims and establish their "caliphate" in Europe and America. They don't want to stoke the fires of "Islamophobia", already burning brightly in the USA and western Europe, and now, even in Canada. See "Nearly 50% of Canucks want border-jumpers deported", WWW 20/3/17.

Speaking of which... the Canadian parliament, by unhappy coincidence, is today debating M-103, a non-binding motion by M.P. Iqra Khalid [an Irish-Canadian? Ed.] condemning Islamophobia and "all forms of systemic racism and religious discrimination". Though largely symbolic, the motion would direct the Commons heritage committee to study the issue and develop strategies to tackle the alleged problem.

Free speech advocates fear that the "strategies" could include measures such as prohibiting the disclosure of a terrorist's identity, ethnicity, religion or "belief system" -- in other words, censorship of the facts of "incidents" such as the attack on Westminster. Many Conservatives have said they cannot support the motion because it does not define Islamophobia, leading some to fear it could stifle free speech and criticism of Islam. Others have argued that the motion provides special treatment to one religion over others.

It appears to me that the self-censorship of the lamestream media makes any "anti-Islamophobia" laws unnecessary. M-103 has the support of the governing Liberals and the pinko NDP, and is expected to pass easily. After all, "terror incidents" may happen in Paris, Brussels and London, but they would never happen in Ottawa... would they? Oh... wait...

FOOTNOTE: The mojo wire is spitting out reports that the Islamic State is claiming responsibility for the Westminster attack. ISIS said through its Aamaq News Agency that the attacker was a soldier of the Islamic State who "carried out the operation in response to calls for targeting citizens of the coalition" of countries fighting IS in Syria and Iraq.

British officials did not release the attacker's identity or confirm a link with the Islamic State group, though British Prime Minister Teresa May, in a statement which takes a WWW award for obfuscation, said it would be wrong to describe the attack as "Islamic" extremism. "It is Islamist terrorism," she said. "It is a perversion of a great faith." Anyone who can figure out the distinction between Islamic extremism and Islamist terrorism is invited to do so in the comments window below. Keep it down to 25 words or less, please.

ANOTHER FOOTNOTE: If the Rt. Hon. Teresa May means that Islam is the "religion of peace" the liberals keep apologizing for, perhaps she can explain why Muslims like Khalid Masood -- now identified as the attacker at Westminster -- keep trying to kill non-Muslims. As for me, I just ask, where's Santiago Matamoros (St. James the Moor-slayer -- see featured post), now that we need him more than ever.
