Did Ezra Levant's Ghastly Rebel Trigger a Terrorist Act in Britain?
I like to mock Ezra Levant and his ratty rag The Rebel.
As I did yesterday.
But of course the man is not a joke, or at least not funny, and I have always worried that his relentless hate mongering might lead to tragedy.
By inspiring one of his sick followers to hurt or kill people.
And now it seems that's exactly what has happened.
Not in Canada but in Britain.
The man accused of attacking a group of Muslim worshippers, killing one, was “brainwashed” by far-right propaganda, the prosecution argued in a UK court today. The Crown said the man had emails from the far-right Canadian outlet Rebel Media saved on his phone.
The prosecution alleges that 48-year-old Darren Osborne drove his van into a mass of Muslim worshippers outside of London’s Finsbury Park Mosque on June 18. The attack claimed the life of 51-year-old Makram Ali. Eleven other people were hit by the van but survived their injuries.
Where a deranged loser Darren Osborne was apparently influenced by Ezra Levant's favourite British bigot Tommy Robinson to commit a terrorist act.
In the days leading up to the attack, the court heard, Osborne had screengrabbed two mass emails written by Robinson, according to information gathered by investigators from the defendant’s iphones and ipad. The emails were mass sent to Rebel subscribers in the UK and signed by Robinson.
The email invitation stated that “there is a nation within a nation forming just beneath the surface of the UK. It is a nation built on hatred, on violence and on Islam.”
“It has now been left to us, the ordinary people of the United Kingdom to stand up to hate, to unite and in one voice say 'no more,' ”the Rebel Media email said.
And if Robinson's hate mongering could cause such havoc in Britain, imagine what it might do in Canada where the pages of the filthy Rebel are often filled with death threats aimed at Justin Trudeau and Rachel Notley.
In a country about to mark the one-year anniversary of that massacre at a Quebec City mosque, where six people were killed and nineteen others were injured.
In a country where hate crimes are growing and becoming more violent.
And we need a brutish anti Muslim bigot like this one.
Or a Con leader like this one...
And his ghastly message...
Like we need a hole in the head.
What happened in Britain should be a warning.
We may not get another one.
And as I've always said, and always will.
The hate mongering Rebel should be shuttered.
And its ghastly leader should be sent to the place where he truly belongs...
He's so disgusting
ReplyDeleteHi anon 8:12 am...he is indeed as are all bigots. They come from many backgrounds but they all resemble each other...
DeleteHate the religion not the people. The SKYGOD puts a target on your back if you believe in him. Notice its always a man.
ReplyDeleteHi Steve...I'm an atheist, but I don't hate religions, and I take what I like from all of them, and like you always put people first...
DeleteThe Rebel's comments section has always been a cesspool of conspiracy theorists, paranoids, flat out nutters, bigots and racists. The death threats or death wishes always seem to come from the same ones. I enjoyed that Maclean's article from about a year ago when they tracked down a couple of them and they sheepishly admitted they didn't mean anything they said. That they were just "venting". Keyboard warriors, most of them. But there's bound to be one and that's all it takes. Levant should be in jail for encouraging hate and potential murder.
ReplyDeleteHi Joe...yes you're right, most of the haters are just keyboard warriors venting their frustration at the world. And of course in the Internet age that has never been easier. But as you say it only takes one, and the more violent hatred that is pumped into a society, the more dangerous it becomes for all of us. And professional bigots like Levant are the lowest creatures of all...
DeleteAs someone with a historical background I must say it's a fact that Islam has been at war with the West since it's inception. It is a violent ideology, not a religion of peace. Only a fool (or a communist) would think we can have mass Muslim migration alongside things like women's rights and respect for animals.
ReplyDeleteHi anon...look I'm an atheist so don't try to convince me that one religion is more violent than any other. They all have appalling records of violence over the ages, and none more than my own tribe the Christians. Muslims have contributed their fair share to this slaughter over the course of time, but they have also contributed their fair share to science,medicine, architecture the arts etc etc. And if you really have a historical background you should know that and cease mouthing off hateful stereotypes. I judge people not by what they are, but by who they are, and how they treat me and others. And you should too....
DeleteAs someone with a historical background, this: "Anyone who is captured will be run through with a sword. Their little children will be dashed to death right before their eyes. Their homes will be sacked and their wives raped by the attacking hordes. For I will stir up the Medes against Babylon, and no amount of silver or gold will buy them off. The attacking armies will shoot down the young people with arrows. They will have no mercy on helpless babies and will show no compassion for the children."
ReplyDeleteIs the Bible more violent than the Quran?
Delete'Consider the Book of 1 Samuel, when God instructs King Saul to attack the Amalekites: "And utterly destroy all that they have, and do not spare them," God says through the prophet Samuel. "But kill both man and woman, infant and nursing child, ox and sheep, camel and donkey."
'When Saul failed to do that, God took away his kingdom.'

that took about one minute of Internet research.
As Ezra's no doubt ideological mentor in Mar-a-Lago might say:
ReplyDeleteLOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP! LOCK HIM UP!
Heres a story you might find interesting. A young man was shot near a mosque in Hamilton after trying to stop some punks from hurting a homeless man. Paramedics assumed he was shot with a pellet gun and that he was acting. They left him to bleed to death for over 30 minutes and made him walk to the ambulance and took him to St Joes when a hospital that specialized in trauma was closer. It's possible that maybe some of the paramedics get their news from fearmongering zionists. But I'm only speculating. https://www.thespec.com/news-story/7977171--good-samaritan-shot-dead-was-trying-to-stop-assault/
