The capricious & unknowable "Will of..."

"'And when the sacred months have passed,' it reads, 'then kill the polytheists wherever you find them and capture them and beseige them and sit in wait for them at every place of ambush'."

ISIS has released three new posters inciting lone wolf attacks on London and New York. One poster depicts a suicide bomber standing in front of a burning Big Ben and is captioned with the warning: 'London attacks coming soon'.

Another shows a masked terrorist wielding a knife above New York city and a rallying call for lone extremists to 'fight them in your country'.

Both posters use 'Just Terror' as a tagline.
Just another story you're not gonna see on the CBC.

An alarming number of “moderates” think “suicide bombing is sometimes or often justified.”

With young American Muslims, it’s one in four.

"After repeated questions to PM Justin Trudeau and his Public Safety Minister, Ralph Goodale confirms there are at least 60 former ISIS fighters being watched."
Even Justin's new pal, former "hostage" Joshua Boyle, turned out to have a few skeletons in his domestic closet.

When Mr. Sharif was arrested, his bags had been packed. Ms. Rain plays down all this now, saying the arguments often stemmed from misunderstandings – his English was limited.

“Despite all of our arguments, we always started our morning making each other coffee and making breakfast together, for each other,” she said.
Terrorism... what terrorism?

This is a love story.

Hope, change and...

..."because I say so"...
Months ago, the Obama Administration revealed that it would target al-Awlaki. It even managed to wriggle out of a lawsuit filed by his father to prevent the assassination. But the actual legal reasoning the Department of Justice used to authorize the strike? It's secret. Classified. Information that the public isn't permitted to read, mull over, or challenge.

Obama hasn't just set a new precedent about killing Americans without due process. He has done so in a way that deliberately shields from public view the precise nature of the important precedent he has set.

It's time for the president who promised to create "a White House that's more transparent and accountable than anything we've seen before" to release the DOJ memo.
Oh, c'mon... who really cares about this sort of thing? Nice clean surgical strike... thousands of miles from home.

It's not like it's a Bush/Cheney "war crime"... you know, like waterboarding.

Obviously, some animals are more equal than others.

Right, America?

PAGING ALL CRAZY-ASS TERRORISTS

If you're planning to blow shit up... you might just wanna do it north of the 49th parallel...
"Another suspect in the so-called 'Toronto 18' case has pleaded guilty to terrorism offences Wednesday – and will released from prison as early as Thursday."
...'cos it looks like Uncle Sam is through foolin' around...
Two Tamil-Canadians who were caught by the FBI trying to buy anti-aircraft missiles and other weapons for the Tamil Tigers three years ago have been sentenced to 25 years in prison with no chance of parole.

The sentences were lighter than what prosecutors had sought.
Yeee-ouch... that's gonna leave a mark.

-- TORONTO -- A convicted Indian hijacker who came to Canada 15 years ago under a false identity was deported this morning, according to federal officials.

Ottawa designated him a public danger and ordered his expulsion but Mr. Saini countered he should not be deported because he had been pardoned for the hijacking.

While awaiting his fate, Mr. Saini, 46, obtained a law degree from the University of Windsor.
Yup... yet another triumph for fuzzy-bunny Canuckistan.
