Home Affairs Minister (Australia) warns children are being radicalised in school playgrounds
11 hours ago

The federal government says sickening propaganda is being used in Australian schoolyards to tempt kids as young as 13 into becoming homegrown terrorists.

National security agency the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) claims extremists are targeting the vulnerable.

“They’ll do this through the use of videos that might start out being a bit humorous ... and grow more and more racist and more and more violent until young people are quite desensitised to the violence they are seeing,” Home Affairs Minister Clare O’Neil told 7NEWS

LAGOS (Reuters) - A Nigerian court on Wednesday ruled that Islamic religious law does not violate the constitution, dismissing a test-case challenge from a singer who was sentenced to death two years ago on the charge of blasphemy.

But in a majority decision, the court in northern Kano state also upheld a lower court's call for a retrial.

Yahaya Aminu Sharif was convicted of having shared a blasphemous message on WhatsApp and was sentenced to death in August 2020 by a sharia court.

Bali bombmaker Umar Patek has sentence reduced, Anthony Albanese confirms
Posted 17h ago

A survivor of the 2002 Bali bombings says the decision to cut the sentence of the bombmaker responsible for the terror attack was a "kick in the guts" for the families of victims.

Perth man Brad McIlroy was just 19 and in Kuta on an end-of-season trip with the Kingsley Football Club when the bombings happened and seven of his mates were killed.

Mr McIlroy said the families of those killed were already preparing themselves for the emotional turmoil of the forthcoming 20th anniversary of the bombings, and the news that Umar Patek would be released early had exacerbated their distress

Voices: Stop blaming Western colonialism for problems elsewhere – it ignores history
Friday

Earlier this month, the murder of four Shia Muslims in US city of Albuquerque led to mourning and introspection among Muslims there and even in the UK.

After it was suggested the murders were sectarian in nature – i.e. committed by a Sunni Muslim – many Muslims on social media raised the problem of anti-Shia prejudice. Some however, argued that this sectarianism was, “forged through years of strategy and, yes, US foreign policy.”

The day Sweden will be Islamic
Aug 20, 2022, 9:37 PM

Swedish Prime Minister (1946-69) Tage Erlander in 1967 declared in response to the racial riots in the slums of Los Angeles that "we Swedes live in such an infinitely happier situation. The population in our country is homogeneous, not only in terms of race, but also in many other aspects ”.

In 1975 the country introduced multiculturalism with Social Democratic Prime Minister Olof Palme rejecting assimilation in favor of policies that encouraged minorities to maintain separate identities. It was part of the famous "freedom" of the Swedes, free to do and undo everything, from the family to the nation.

‘Death to Blasphemers!’ Islam’s Ancient War on Critics of Muhammad
Mon Aug 22, 2022

On August 12, a Muslim man lunged at and repeatedly stabbed Salman Rushdie as he was preparing to deliver a speech on a New York stage. Prosecutors said the author was stabbed 10 times, suffering a neck wound, liver damage, a severed nerve in his arm, and may well lose an eye. Thankfully, reports Sunday morning indicate Rushdie is off a ventilator and able to speak.

Rushdie became internationally recognizable in 1988, following the publication of his novel, The Satanic Verses. Because it portrayed the Muslim prophet of Islam irreverently, the book provoked ire throughout the Muslim world, culminating with a 1989 fatwa calling for his execution as a blasphemer by Iran’s then supreme leader, Ayatollah Khomeini.

In other words, the recent assassination attempt against Rushdie has been nearly 35 years in the making and should surprise no one.

Market blast in north Syria kills 15 people, wounds dozens
Posted August 19, 2022 3:54 p.m. EDT

BEIRUT — A rocket attack on a crowded market in a town held by Turkey-backed opposition fighters in northern Syria killed 15 people on Friday and wounded dozens, an opposition war monitor and a paramedic group said.

The attack on the town of al-Bab came days after a Turkish airstrike killed at least 11 Syrian troops and U.S.-backed Kurdish fighters. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an opposition war monitor, blamed Syrian government forces for Friday's shelling, saying it was in apparent retaliation for the Turkish airstrike.

The Observatory said three children were among the 15 killed, and that there were more than 30 wounded.

IRGC head reveals multi-point strategy against Israel - analysis
AUGUST 20, 2022 01:48

In a long and exhaustive examination of the recent conflict between Israel and Palestinian Islamic Jihad, the Iranian regime laid out its future strategy to wage war against Israel. The report was published by Fars News, which is considered close to the top leadership of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and quotes extensively from IRGC head Hossein Salami’s recent discussion about the conflict with the Jewish state.

What are some of the main points this article discusses and why are they important? By laying this out in public, the Islamic Republic is openly saying that this is its roadmap. Iran and its proxies often threaten Israel in rhetoric, so it is worth considering this to be part of that, but behind the rhetoric is also strategy.

Attack on Rushdie shows divisions among Lebanese Shiites
August 19 2022

BEIRUT — The stabbing of author Salman Rushdie has laid bare divisions in Lebanon’s Shiite Muslim community, pitting a few denouncing the violence against fervent followers of the Iran-backed Shiite militant Hezbollah group who have praised the attack. One Rushdie defender received death threats.

The attack struck close to home among Lebanon’s Shiites. The assailant, 24-year-old Hadi Matar, is a dual Lebanese-U.S. citizen, and his father lives in a village in Hezbollah-dominated southern Lebanon. Matar’s mother has said she believes her son’s visit to the village of Yaroun in 2018 turned him into a religious zealot.

The religious edict, or fatwa, urging Muslims to kill Rushdie was issued in 1989 by Iran’s then-spiritual leader, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, who accused the author of blasphemy for his portrayal of the Prophet Muhammad in the novel “The Satanic Verses.”
