More than 2,000 people have gathered in a park in San Diego, California, to mourn a security guard and two other men murdered as they tried to stop this week's attack on the city's largest mosque. Mourners, including police officers in uniform, stood in rows for the Islamic funeral prayer, or Janazah, on Thursday. The bodies of the three men 51-year-old Amin Abdullah, 78-year-old Mansour Kaziha and 57-year-old Nadir Awad lay beneath cloth, underneath a white canopy.
That's a disgusting, offensive, and vile thing to say that's very much on brand for you. You have no idea how many people you are branding rapists and killers. You don't know, do you? You don't care.
The NCCM said the bus was travelling from Scarborough to Ajax on Monday when the incident happened. Toronto police's hate crime unit is aware of the incident and investigating.
You called your opponent 'this fat Jew,' and tried to preempt any argument that Bilzerian was just criticizing the Israeli government. So he's not from Israel, but you called a guy in Florida 'this fat Jew.' How is that not antisemitic?
Every year on Remembrance Day, the bishop of London leads a public Christian act of lamentation in the open air, accompanied by hymns, Bible readings, and prayers in the name of Jesus Christ.

Having a white nationalist coming to rabble-rouse and flare anti-Muslim sentiment in New York during the holiest month of the year for Muslims is more than outlandish. But also, we're talking about a white supremacist who's looking for people to respond to them in this way.
New York is under foreign occupation. There's really no other way to put it. Does this administration have one single actual American in it? Sarsour, a hijabi woman and pro-Palestinian activist, was born in Brooklyn and is an American citizen.
"[Iranians] want to wipe Israel off the face of the earth and they'd like to take us out as well. We're the Great Satan in their analogy and their misguided religion, and there is no way to appease them. And in defiance of every president since Jimmy Carter, the Iranian regime has pursued the means to acquire a nuclear weapon, so they could take that madness and that ideology to its full conclusion."
Not a day passes without some overt expression of it in our national life. A crime committed by one Muslim becomes an indictment of all Muslims. A cultural practice is wrenched from context and weaponised to provoke anxiety. A theological concept is distorted to imply threat. And on the streets, and increasingly online, it can turn into violence, intimidation or exclusion directed at anyone who looks Muslim.
Home Office guidance says mosques should apply for security measures provided for free by the Home Office if they have experienced or feel vulnerable to hate crime, of if there has been hate crime in the area towards other places of worship or their congregants. However, it advises applicants to provide detailed evidence of incidents, such as graffiti, or police reports, saying that applications that do not include strong evidence are unlikely to be successful.
Democrats are calling for the censure or even resignation of Randy Fine, a Florida congressman known for his inflammatory rhetoric, after he wrote particularly Islamophobic social media post last weekend. But other than one retiring Republican Congressman, the GOP has largely been silent on the matter. On Sunday, Fine wrote a post on X indicating that he preferred dogs to Muslims. "If they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one," he said.
The firestorm began on Sunday when Rep. Randy Fine (R-Fla.) responded to a sarcastic social media post by Palestinian American activist Nerdeen Kiswani, who jokingly suggested that New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani's election meant that "NYC is coming to Islam," and it was time to consider banning dogs as pets because "like we've said all along, they are unclean." "If they force us to choose," Fine wrote, "the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one."
The suspect, whom police have identified as Anthony Kazmierczak, was arrested after he squirted a combination of apple-cider vinegar and water at Omar during a town hall in Minneapolis, according to court documents. She was apparently not injured in the attack and continued to speak for 25 minutes before being medically screened. Kazmierczak has a long rap sheet, and he also has a long record of social-media posts that support right-wing causes and President Trump.
