Two maps created by the Pew Research Center shows which countries either restrict or mandate specific religious dress for women.
The first map shows the countries which restrict women’s dress, which surprisingly includes most European countries and Canada due to their restricting Muslim clothing such as burkas for women.
The second map shows countries where women are forced by government to wear specific religious attire (all due to Islam).
The following information is summarized from a Washington Free Beacon article: “ISIS Terrorists Infiltrating Canada, Suspected of Plotting Attacks”
The Canadian government has issued a new report warning its citizens that it knows of at least 180 people who have traveled abroad to join terror groups and is tracking 60 “extremist travelers” who have returned to Canada.
More than 40 individuals have been charged with terrorism-related offenses in Canada since 2002, and sixteen people have been charged since January 2015.
Canada’s findings are similar to warnings by US officials saying ISIS affiliates are already living in America.
Points detailed in the report:
— Terrorists returning to Canada after fighting abroad in areas such a Syria “raise serious safety concerns,” and the report warns “a violent act of terrorism could occur in Canada.”
— Canadian authorities have been monitoring a number of Western individuals who have traveled to join terror groups, with some of them making their way back to North America which raises concerns that ISIS is planning attacks on the continent.
— “Since the beginning of the Syrian conflict in 2011, more than 36,500 extremist travelers from over 100 countries, including at least 6,600 individuals from Western countries, have traveled to Syria.”
— Through the end of 2015, the Canadian government “was aware of approximately 180 individuals with a nexus to Canada who were abroad and who were suspected of engaging in terrorism-related activities.”
— “Returning extremist travelers may also raise serious security concerns for their home countries,” and the authorities are aware of “about 60 extremist travelers who had returned to Canada.”
— “The experiences and intentions of these individuals vary. They may have skills, experience and relationships developed abroad that could be used to recruit or inspire individuals in Canada. … [They could] engage in terrorist financing, helping others to travel, or even planning attacks in Canada. The attacks directed by Daesh in Paris and Brussels provide examples. Most of the attackers were returnees linked to Daesh.”
— “The principal terrorist threat to Canada remains that posed by violent extremists who could be inspired to carry out an attack in Canada. … Violent extremist ideologies espoused by terrorist groups like Daesh and al-Qaida continue to appeal to certain individuals in Canada.”
— One person arrested in 2010 was planning to detonate an explosive device upon returning to Canada after he swore an oath of loyalty to al-Qaida and the Taliban. “[He] returned to Canada with expertise and intent to train, finance and equip a terrorist cell in Ottawa. He also maintained contact with terrorists in Iran and Afghanistan while working to recruit other men and raise money to finance a proposed attack.”
Bangladesh security forces killed three Islamists on Saturday that attacked an upscale cafe in Dhaka last month that killed 22 people, mostly foreigners. Among those killed by the security forces is the 30 year old Bangladesh-born Canadian citizen Tamim Ahmed Chowdhury, who masterminded the cafe attack where the militants singled out non-Muslims and foreigners for being killed, including Italians, Japanese, an American, and an Indian.
The Islamic State had claimed responsibility for the initial attack on the Cafe.
The three were cornered in a hideout in the outskirts of the capital and killed in a gun battle after refusing to surrender.
See a National Post article about the issue, and see a Daily Mail article about the initial cafe attack.
This video by “Black Pigeon Speaks” talks about the many problems that Europe is facing due to opening its borders to unchecked immigration of often illiterate and hostile immigrants from war zones in the middle east and Africa.
The following is summarized from this Oklahoman article:
An Oklahoma man was charged with a felony on Wednesday for sending a threatening letter to his mosque that contained a white powder meant to be mistaken for being anthrax, and he was also charged for spray painting anti-Islamic messages on a Halal Grocery Store that was adjacent to the Mosque, then later when questioned by authorities he admitted that the Imam of the Mosque told him to do it.
Justin William Bouma, 32, was charged with a felony count of a crime of “terrorist hoax,” and he was also charged with misdemeanor counts for painting the graffiti.
Bouma has been an attendee of the mosque in the past, and he became a suspect when authorities discovered him sending threatening emails to other mosque members.
The graffiti he painted referred to Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), saying “CAIR not welcome,” as well as mentioning ISIS.
The Imam of the Oklahoma City mosque, Imad Enchassi, called the FBI after opening the package. After the power was tested, it was determined that it was laundry detergent that Bouma placed in the envelope.
Bouma admitted to police on August 18 that he sent the letter to the Mosque and that he painted the anti-Muslim graffiti on the grocery, and he also said that the Imam told him to do it, the affidavit states.
_______
The following is from CAIR’s PR campaign about the attacks where the Imam Imad Enchassi details how he was supposedly victimized:
“Saad Mohammed, director of Islamic news and information for the Islamic Society of Greater Oklahoma City…
Mohammed is chairman of the board for CAIR-Oklahoma.
“I was personally targeted, I think because I’m the chairman of CAIR and I’m the director of news and information for the Islamic Society so who better to target,” he said. “One statement said ‘Saad is not welcome here.’”
Another statement said “CAIR not welcome here,” and the vandals also wrote messages directed at the Islamic Society. The vandalism also mentioned the terrorist group ISIS.
Mohammed said he was not concerned that vandals targeted him by name in one of their messages. He said he takes precautions on a regular basis when he is out in the community so he has no special concerns now.
The Muslim leader said he was pleased with the response from the society’s youth group and the Interfaith Alliance.
“The response was outstanding,” he said. “We will continue educating people and pushing forward and try to bridge this gap of hate.”
This video shows a timeline of battles fought and territory acquired by Islam from 620 – 1880, and it also shows the same type of battle and territory timeline for the Christian Crusades which lasted from 1080 – 1100.
The video shows that the Crusades were a relatively minor occurrence compared to the overall Islamic expansion since Muhammad’s death.
The following is a partial transcript from the video:
“Now we can talk about some facts. Yes, there were Crusades, but they ended centuries ago, but Jihad is being practiced today. Jihad has been with us for 1,400 years. There is no comparison between Jihad and the Crusades, certainly not a moral comparison. And when you are looking at Crusades, remember in one sense all crusades were defensive wars. Why? As we saw in the first Jihad map, it was Islam that came out of Arabia and conquered the middle east— a Christian middle east. And so the Crusaders were trying to free their Christian brothers and sisters from Jihad. So there is no moral comparison at all. The motivation of the Crusaders was to free Christians, and the purpose of Jihad was to enslave the Kaffir. So the next time you hear someone talk about those ‘dreadful Crusades’, you’ve seen some facts about the matter. Why don’t you pipe up and tell them, ‘you know, you don’t really know the matter’.”

The following information is summarized from this Express UK article:
A migrant from Algeria who attacked two female police officers with a machete in Belgium earlier this month had already been attempted to be deported twice, according to local officials.
The man attacked the two women outside the police station in Charleroi on August 6, lunging and hacking at their heads with a machete while shouting “Allahu Akbar.” One of the victims received severe facial wounds but they have been described to be not life threatening. The other officer was less seriously injured. The attacker was shot in the chest by a third officer and later died.
Police said the suspect was known to authorities for “minor common” offenses but had no known terrorist connections.
Belgium twice tried to deport the man but authorities claim that it is not known how he was able to stay in the country.

A school district in Anne Arundel County, Maryland is implementing extreme policies of catering to transsexual students, including having school teachers and administrators being ordered not to tell parents when transexual males bunk with girls on overnight field trips.
The policies are detailed in a training video which explains how to support transexual students, including specifying regulations about privacy issues which prevent the school district from informing parents about such arrangements.
From the video (below):
“So, many of you might be asking yourselves, ‘So I’m at an overnight field trip, and I have student who’s biologically a male, identifies as a female, and we’ve worked with that student and her family, and that student wants to sleep in the dorms, or whatever sleeping arrangements are, with the females,’” Mr. Mosier says in a video of the training session. “‘They don’t want to sleep in a room by themselves, [sic] they want to sleep with the rest of the females. So what do we do?’”
“And the answer is, they sleep with the females,” he said. “That’s not the easy answer; it’s the right answer. And in some cases, it’s going to cause issues, because … the private information piece doesn’t allow you to share that with parents of all of the other campers. Right? So that’s difficult.”
(Note: relevant portion of the video begins at 27:50)
From the original New American article:
The June training session was given in response to the May Obama administration order dictating that schools should allow students to use whatever bathrooms, locker rooms, and other facilities they wish, in accordance with their self-professed “gender identity.” The order was justified based on Title IX, and that Anne Arundel County and other localities are submitting to it indicates that not only don’t they understand the science behind the “gender” agenda, but they don’t even understand its terminology.
The Times tells us that two “coalitions of states, totaling 24 in all, have sued the administration over the mandate,” prompting a federal judge in Texas on Sunday to grant “a preliminary injunction blocking the edict’s implementation nationwide.” And rightfully so. …

Despite the American working class being devastated by the loss of good paying factory jobs, actual manufacturing output of the United States has doubled in the previous three decades.
The following information is summarized from this CBS Marketwatch article:
— Manufacturing still the largest sector of the U.S. economy — The U.S. is second only to China as a manufacturing leader, and manufacturing companies account for 77% of what the private sector spends and research and development each year.
— Manufacturing output in the U.S. is near a record high — U.S. factories produce twice as much as they did in 1984, but with one-third fewer workers.
— Refined oil is America’s top manufactured good — While crude oil often comes from other countries, refining the oil into products such as gasoline and fuel oil are America’s top manufactured product with $700 billion in sales per year, four times as much as the No. 2 product of light trucks. America’s other top manufactured products in order are pharmaceuticals, airplanes, automobiles, iron and steel, animal slaughtering, plastics, organic chemicals, and petrochemicals.
“Most Americans now work in service-producing industries, where inequalities in opportunities, skills and incomes are more apparent. Recreating an economy that provides equitable growth won’t be easy, especially if we pine for the good old days when a third of us worked at the factory.”
