Islamic Terrorism in the West ( Mega thread)

It appears they may be bringing the band back together (again? still?) ....
Also archived here https://archive.is/ruCrX -- summary of attached study:

Oh lovely. Hopefully they don’t go out of their way to make it our problem this time…

They've gone out of their way to make it our problem this time mate...

As much as we in the west have shifted our collective ADHD focus to major power conflict - citing Russia vs Ukraine and a potential China vs Taiwan as our reasons for doing so - our enemies haven't taken their eyes off of us.

Hamza Bin Laden (the son of UBL) was a key player in the Benghazi attacks, and is living a fairly comfortable life in Kabul - with the full knowledge and protection of the Taliban.


ISIS & the Taliban used to fight each other and not get along. Now, they actively work together. (Plus a bunch of other terrorist organizations that have all become quite cozy with each other since the west pulled out of Afghanistan.)

Guess who issues legit Afghan passports, legally recognized in most countries? One of the Haqqani brothers (I shit you not...)

Yet neither Canada or the US have flagged Afghan passports for mandatory additional screening. (Not that it would do any good since the person picking up the phone in the issuing country is a member of the Taliban...)

Rumour has it that the Taliban government has issued thousands of passports to it's fighters for the explicit purpose of gaining entry to the west. (These are legitimate, government issued passports that knowingly state potentially false names & DOB information)

I said a while ago that we, the collective west, are in for some major terror attacks - and I was dismissed pretty quickly...

And to be fair, I probably did sound alarmist.

But I'll say it again - the chances of some major terrorist attacks happening throughout Europe and North America are so f**king high I'm tempted to say it's almost a guarantee.

(And I'm not talking about the kind of terrorist attacks we've seen in the past either)


I say this based on the relationships that have developed between the various groups + the actions those groups have taken in recent years (say the last 15 years or so) + the HUGE opportunity they've had to get their people established here in the west.

I also say this because of the southern US border situation under Biden + the still massive amount of people the GoC is trying to import each year, plus the open borders along Europe's eastern reaches.

Just because we've taken our eye off the ball for the last decade & forgotten about our enemies doesn't mean our enemies have taken their eyes off of us...

They are absolutely wanting to make this our problem, in some pretty big ways.



My 2 cents anyway...
 
FWIW... some interesting observations if you scroll down the page

Key findings from the Global Terrorism Index 2025 report​

  • • The Sahel region remains terrorism’s epicentre, accounting for over half of all global terrorism deaths
  • Islamic State (IS) expands its operations to 22 countries and remains the deadliest organisation, causing 1,805 deaths, with 71% of its activity being in Syria and DRC
  • • Tehrik-e-Taliban (TTP) emerged as fastest-growing terrorist group, with 90% increase in attributed deaths
  • • Deaths in sub-Saharan Africa (excluding the Sahel) are now at their lowest since 2016, dropping by 10%
  • • Terrorist attacks jumped by 63% in the West, Europe was most affected where attacks doubled to 67
  • • In 2024, several Western countries reported one in five terror suspects as under 18, with teenagers accounting for most IS-linked arrests in Europe
  • Seven Western countries are in the first 50 most impacted countries on the Global Terrorism Index
  • Antisemitic and Islamophobic hate surged globally, with the US seeing a 200% rise in antisemitic incidents in 2024
  • Attacks are more deadly as the number of terrorist incidents fell by 22% to 3,350, and number of countries reporting an incident fell to 50.
 
Well, this is good news...

The sentencing on this will be fascinating to read.

I expect some people will be pretty unhappy with time served, it she spent years in a really awful Kurdish prison camp without any due process whatsoever, and it took the government of Canada quite a while to agree to repatriate her. That will probably factor. She went over there very young, and essentially was a ‘bride of ISIS’ but didn’t directly participate in anything. I’m curious, had she. It pled guilty and it went to trial, and heather in fact crown would have succeeded in proving the terrorism offence.

I don’t believe there’s any direct precedent for a case like this, so it’ll be interesting to see how the judge reasons out the sentence.
