"Society will develop a new kind of servitude which
covers the surface of society with a network of
complicated rules, through which the most original
minds and the most energetic characters cannot
penetrate. It does not tyrannise but it compresses,
enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each
nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of
timid and industrious animals, of which the
government is the shepherd."
~ Alexis de Tocqueville ~

It's that time of year again... Ramadan has begun once more. Hundreds of millions of Muslims will peacefully keep the holiday and thousands won't. This year might be more exciting than usual. The Iranians are miffed that sanctions and trade restrictions are returning and might unleash some terrorism. Hamas also seems to have got off to a premature start, but only managed to get 50 of their identified members shot instead in their protests over embassies in Israel moving to Jerusalem.

Canada: Muslims (and sharia) take priority over LGBT at Islamized Peel public school (video)
Which identity group occupies the pinnacle of the human rights hierarchy? Is it Islam or the LGBTQ community? Thanks to the Peel District School Board, we now have a definitive answer. Concerns expressed by some about Muslim prayer in schools were dismissed as the rantings of racists, bigots and Islamophobes, while concerns expressed by others about the LGBTQ community were taken seriously?

Police Obtain Letter That Threatens Safety of Bracebridge and Gravenhurst Beaches
A letter received by the Huntsville newspaper entitled: "A message from the Islamic Revolutionary Force" was given to Bracebridge and Gravenhurst on May 11, 2018. The letter set out new information threatening the safety of the beaches in the Muskoka region
Conservatives grill Goodale about Canadian ISIS fighter shortly before he recants murder claim
Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale has refused to provide details on the status of a Canadian former ISIS fighter who made an apparent confession to an execution-style killing in Syria, saying police and security officials are taking all necessary steps to "keep Canadians safe."

Canada: As Trudeau's Failures Mount, He Demonizes Pro-Trump Former Prime Minister Harper
Stephen Harper is not the bogeyman for Canadians; three years after the 2015 elections, conservative Canadians are realizing this. The real bogeymen are Islamic State jihadists on the loose who are welcomed in by Trudeau, Islamic supremacists threatening the freedom of speech through the "anti-Islamophobia" motion M-103, and skyrocketing debt due to Justin Trudeau being a spending fool. Throw in Trudeau's immigration policies as well.
Canadian ISIS executioner who admitted to killings on podcast has Conservatives worried
A self-proclaimed executioner for ISIS, reportedly living in Toronto has federal Conservative MPs worried. "One shot. Clean to the head. Just finish them off," Abu Huzaifa said on the podcast of executions. "They brought in these men wearing blue jumpsuits...they were blindfolded, handcuffed, came in as a line and sat in front of us."
Jihadi acquitted of terror charges in military center stabbing in Canada, "Allah told me to do this"
A Muslim who stabbed two members of Canada's military at a recruitment centre in Toronto has been acquitted of terrorism charges. The judge got it wrong. Dead wrong. While the judge acknowledged Hassan Ali was "radicalized," he was acquitted because he didn't belong to "a group." It's not about a "group," it's about ideology.

Liberals refuse to answer questions on ISIS fighter in Canada making horrific claims
The Conservatives want to know why returning ISIS fighter Abu Huzaifa isn't behind bars. The Canadian, living in Toronto, told the New York Times that he enforced Sharia law, lashed people until they bled and executed dissidents. Watch as Ralph Goodale dodges and weaves.

Trudeau calls question on returning ISIS fighter divisive
To Justin Trudeau, asking questions about a terrorist is going too far. A returning Canadian ISIS fighter has admitted to some pretty horrific acts while he was with the group. He made these admissions, including claims he executed people, on a New York Times podcast. Watch as the Conservatives ask Trudeau why nothing is being done and Trudeau claims the Conservatives are being divisive.

Palestinians thank the Trudeau government for rejecting US embassy move to Jerusalem
For his failure to support Israel's historical right to exist as a nation with Jerusalem as its capital, Trudeau is being praised by jihadists in the Palestinian territories, as he welcomed a Palestinian delegation in Ottawa. The delegation said in a statement: "Those shocking and bloody images can't leave us without welcoming the decision of the government of Canada and other governments who didn't participate in the so-called inauguration ceremony of the U.S. on Palestinian land," said the statement from the Ottawa delegation.
Canada: Muslim migrant couple threatens their daughter with honor killing, won't be deported
A Syrian refugee couple who threatened their adult daughter with an honour killing for dating a Canadian man have made a plea deal with New Brunswick prosecutors that will save them from possible deportation back to their war-ravaged homeland.
Justin Trudeau just handed tens of millions of your tax dollars to the richest company on earth
Trudeau was in the Saguenay region of Quebec on Thursday announcing that the Government of Canada will make "an investment of $60 million in support of Elysis." This is a new company started by Apple along with two of the biggest, and richest mining companies in the world, Rio Tinto and Alcoa.
Freedom of Speech
Against Hate Speech Laws
Hate speech is the thorniest of issues for defenders of free speech.
Attitudes towards hate speech are what divide a European approach to free speech from a US, First Amendment-based approach. In Europe in recent decades the net on what speech is permitted has been drawn ever tighter as governments seek to rein in speech they say harms individuals based on a variety of their characteristics: from race and religion, to sexual orientation. In the US, backed by a First Amendment that places far more protection on speech, courts have traditionally firmly resisted temptations to place limitations on speech, even when it is deemed hateful.

Ensuring Internet Free Speech
Conservatives are being attacked by Google, Facebook, and Twitter (GFT). Those monopoly platforms are using their power to squash speech that the rich coastal liberals who work at and run those companies don't like. To end that odious practice, all the government has to do is pass a law saying that GFT can regulate only criminal speech. A pro-life voice couldn't be censored unless it was advocating killing abortionists. Conservatives couldn't be censored, but Antifa could, because Antifa advocates illegal acts. The Democrat-founded KKK could post hateful nonsense about black inferiority, but if it advocated violence, it could be censored.

Speakers' Corner over the years
In the last year, Islam has begun to dominate Speakers' Corner. I would estimate that the speakers and attendees there are about 80% Muslim, 10% Christian, with the remaining 10% spread across a variety of other denominations and political activists. I myself have had loads of physical violence heaped upon me. I've been chased out of the park. I've been smacked in the face by an Algerian. I've witnessed people being pushed off of ladders and punched and kicked, all because their opinion differed from the teachings of Islam.

*Graphic* example of @Facebook "Community Standards": ISIS criticism BLOCKED while anti-Jewish genocidal propaganda goes viral
Look at what Facebook allows and look at what they ban. I received another warning, yet again, from the goose-stepping Facebook authoritarians concerning a news item I ran. This is the second time this week. And had it not been for a Breitbart news article that went viral, I would still be banned from Facebook.

Twitter Suspends me Again
The leftists at Twitter give leftists and Muslims a pass when they post hateful content and death threats, while they punish those on the right for things that would be considered at most minor infractions. They're engaged in fraud, and their claim that they're "politically neutral" is as naked a lie as "Islam means peace." If you don't know, I'm a recovered Muslim, and the winner of the Mohammad Cartoon Contest. Jihadists came to kill those of us at the event and died for it. I mention this to show that I'm committed to this fight of telling the truth about the enemy and his ideology, despite death threats.

Austria
Vienna: Imam calls for Sharia in Austria and establishment of Islamic State
An imam of Vienna's As-Sunnah mosque has called to establish an Islamic State and wants to introduce Sharia Law on Austrian territory. state and The messages are focused on "infidels" as well. Islamic supremacists have become more emboldened as a result of Western kowtowing to Muslim groups, but they will encounter opposition in Austria. Prime Minister Sebastian Kurz "threatened to shut down one of the biggest mosques in Vienna and urged municipal authorities to be stricter regarding state subsidies for the organizations belonging to Muslim minorities."
France
ISIS knifeman, 20, who killed one and injured four in rampage near Paris opera house is named as a refugee from Chechnya
An Islamic State terrorist who arrived in France as a refugee from war-torn Chechnya launched a nine-minute lethal knife rampage in Paris before being gunned down, it emerged today. The attacker was shouting 'Allahu Akbar' - Arabic for 'God is the Greatest' - as he slashed throats at random. The terror attack follows a series of jihadist atrocities in France, which have seen almost 250 people murdered by terrorists since early 2015.
Is France Really an Ally of the United States?
Macron's most important project has been the creation of new Islamic institutions, apparently to adapt France to Islam -- not to adapt Islam to France. Many more mosques will be built, financed with taxpayer money; departments of Islamic culture will open in universities, and imam training centers created. The government appears to have lost all hope of restoring order; it limits itself to trying to avoid the worst, without even being sure it can. A climate of creeping submission holds sway. The corrosion that eats away at the country is never identified and, unhindered, continues its devastation.

Iran
Trump was right on Iran, yet Trudeau still sides with the mullahs
The Trudeau government has quietly been working to re-establish ties with the Islamic Republic of Iran. They've had several closed-door meetings with Iran's mullahs, and despite Iran's belligerent behaviour, Trudeau wants to open an Iranian embassy in Ottawa. Iran is a dictatorship, and one of the world's most despicable regimes. And yet, for the second time in 2018, the Trudeau Liberals are siding with the mullahs over our friends and allies.
Israel
Israeli terror?
"We will tear down the fence, and tear out the hearts from their bodies!" So, recently, yelled Hamas prime minister Yahya Sinwar. A lot of ink has been spilled criticizing Israel's response to the latest Palestinian attempt to destroy Israel, but try finding this quote. Really, the rest is equal parts distraction, distortion, head fake, and noise. When you drill down, for 70 years Israel has wanted peace, while too many of its neighbors want no Israel.

The embassy move only angers the usual suspects. Even the Arab leaders have bigger problems now by Barbara Kay

Palestinian Authority
Gaza's Miseries Have Palestinian Authors
Why is nothing expected of Palestinians, and everything forgiven, while everything is expected of Israelis, and nothing forgiven? The mystery of Middle East politics is why Palestinians have so long been exempted from these ordinary moral judgments. How do so many so-called progressives now find themselves in objective sympathy with the murderers, misogynists and homophobes of Hamas? Why don't they note that, by Hamas's own admission, some 50 of the 62 protesters killed on Monday were members of Hamas?

Hamas Organized Border Violence Get 50 Gaza Arabs Killed by IDF
Hamas organized tens of thousands of Gaza Arabs to storm the Gaza Israel border today. The IDF was forced to use live fire to stop them from infiltrating Israel. Palestinian casualties at Gaza fence are sole responsibility of #Hamas, the organizer of the mass campaign to sabotage the Israel-#Gaza fence and storm into Israel. Israel will not allow the infiltration of hostile elements & will protect its citizens from Hamas violence.

Sweden
Sweden in Free Fall
In 2017, a Swedish police report, showed that there are 61 "no-go zones" in Sweden. They encompass 200 criminal networks, consisting of an estimated 5,000 criminals. Twenty-three of those areas were especially critical: children as young as 10 had been involved in serious crimes there, including ones involving weapons and drugs. Most of the inhabitants were non-Western, mainly Muslim, immigrants.

UN paints welcoming Sweden as "racist inferno where immigrants face painful racism"
Violent no-go zones have proliferated, and the police and the public alike are intimidated. Violent Muslim youth have turned a leading shopping mall into a no-go zone; rapes are rampant; and Swedish police have warned that "hand-grenade attacks (which were virtually unknown until a few years ago) are without parallel in countries not at war." Sharia patrols are also terrorizing citizens. A girl's jaw was broken by a migrant Muslim gang over accusations about an altercation with another Muslim girl. And yet, the UN claims that Sweden is facing extremely hard criticism for the "continuous crime reports of racism and discrimination that immigrants are exposed to in this country".
Turkey
Turkey in Syria: Ruling Kurdish Afrin by Sharia Law, Ethnic Cleansing
Prior to the Turkish invasion, Afrin was home to more than 500,000 people - mostly Kurds but with sizable Christian, Yazidi and Alawite minorities. The enclave also hosted more than 300,000 Syrians fleeing violence in other parts of the war-torn country. At the onset of the Turkish offensive, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and his government declared it a "jihad" against Syrian Kurds. Turkey and jihadist groups are now forcing religious minorities in Afrin to convert to Islam.

MI5 Boss: Radical Islamic Terror Threat 'Shows No Sign of Abating', 25 Plots Foiled Since 2013
"The sickening impact, shock and disgust of terrorism has been felt right across Europe," according to MI5 chief Andrew Parker. Speaking in Berlin in what was the first ever speech by a serving MI5 chief outside the United Kingdom, Parker told European colleagues that the continent faces an "intense, unrelenting, and multidimensional terrorist threat", noting that the Islamic State continues to pose the most "acute threat" to Western security - but that "al-Qaeda and other Islamist groups haven't gone away."

Minnesota: Somali Muslim daycare fraud costing taxpayers as much as $100 million a year
Five years ago the Fox 9 Investigators were first to report that daycare fraud was on the rise in Minnesota, exposing how some businesses were gaming the system to steal millions in government subsidies meant to help low-income families with their childcare expenses. These sources have a deep fear, and there is evidence to support their concerns, that some of that public money is ending up in the hands of terrorists.

NBC News Defames Gatestone Institute
It should be noted that Gatestone Institute, far from being "anti-Muslim", is pro-Muslim. Gatestone does not want to see Muslims deprived of freedom of speech, flogged or stoned to death for supposed adultery. Gatestone is also opposed to "honor" killings, children forced into marriages; homosexuals flogged or killed, and so on. Is one to assume that NBC and its followers do want to see these abuses? Good to know.

CIA gets first female chief with confirmation of Gina Haspel
Veteran spy Gina Haspel will become the first female director of the CIA.

Radicalism: The Real Shock Was the Reaction of the Americans
Before one dismisses the danger America faces, take the time to learn about the past and just how easily and swiftly irreversible changes can happen: Russia in 1917, Germany 1933, Egypt in 1952, Iran in 1979, and so forth. Do not underestimate the ability of radical Islam to take over your government and impose Sharia law throughout this once free nation. Americans should not think that they will somehow be an exception to that historical rule. This sense of immunity and dismissal led to the downfall of many countries throughout time. If Americans do not take the issue seriously, history may teach them the hard way that what once seemed impossible is here.

MH370 Mystery Solved - Pilot Ahmad Shah Deliberately Crashed Plane
MH370 aviation experts claim they have solved the mystery surrounding the disappearance of the Malaysia Airlines flight, saying the passengers were a victim of a deliberate and criminal act by the doomed plane's captain. Zaharie Ahmad Shah was a "fanatical" supporter of Anwar Ibrahim. Ibrahim has many known ties to the global U.S Muslim Brotherhood, including helping to found the International Institute of Islamic Thought (IIIT), where he currently serves as a director, serving as a trustee for the World Assembly of Muslim Youth (WAMY) during the 1970′s and early 1980′s, and appearances at numerous Brotherhood-linked conferences.

To Know Muhammad Is to Know Islam
To faithful Muslims, the Prophet Muhammad is a role model, and they must follow his Sunnah and learn how to implement its precepts and practices in their lives. So to understand the Prophet Muhammad is to understand Islam. The absence of Muhammad is fortunate for the Muslims because it enables them to spin many yarns about how virtuous he was. There are more stories about the kindness, his generosity, his forbearance, and whatnot than any dozen men could do in ten lifetimes. Muslims, heads in the sand, keep reciting to each other all these made-up tales.

ACT! For Canada
Please forward this Newsletter to others.There is STRENGTH in numbers.
https://www.actforcanada.ca/afc-newsletters/
This Weekly Newsletter is designed to give you the most current information about Islam, terrorism around the world and the machinations of our government. Don't let the length of this Newsletter intimidate you. We have all levels of interest and readers - we try to separate the information by topic to make it easier for you.
Remember: Muslims are people who follow Islam. It is the doctrine of Islam, and those Muslims who follow practices prescribed in the Quran, the Hadiths, and the Sira that is a danger to Canada. These religious practices include strict adherence to Sharia law, which permits female genital mutilation, allows husbands to beat their wives, honor killings, child marriages, killing of apostates and almost no human rights for women and children; all of which are antithetical to our Canadian way of life.
In Islamic countries, Sharia law is included in the constitution and enforced by the government. The majority of Muslims in Canada do not follow these practices (we hope) as they do in Islamic countries. Many are here to escape Sharia. It is our job to understand the differences and educate all citizens. We are a nation that welcomes all people who are willing to embrace our Canadian laws and assimilate into our society.
