The Canadian Arabic newspaper, Al Forqan, based in Windsor, Ontario and “distributed in Canada and the United States described a terrorist attack against a synagogue in Jerusalem as a ‘qualitative attack’ carried out by ‘two heroes.'”
Six people were murdered in the jihad attack; the Palestinian Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) claimed responsibility.
Would a Jewish paper ever publish such a report if Muslims had been murdered in cold blood in a mosque? Of course not, but imagine the outcry if the same such despicable report were indeed published by a Jewish or Christian publication. But Jewish and Christian papers do not publish such hate and incitement. The bigotry of low expectations and the guilt for past wrongs continue to allow for a two-tier legal system, one that enables victimizers and denigrates victims and potential victims. A system that in fact ignores a stark breach of hate laws on one side (as we see in this case) and on the other, punishes people for calling out hate, discrimination, murder and intolerance of jihadists and Islamic supremacists.
Not long before Christmas, Al Forqan also published “hadith, accounts of sayings attributed directly to Muhammad, that speaks about Muslims killing Jews as part of the final Islamic fight to establish Sharia law and justice in the entire world.”
The founder, CEO and Editor-in-Chief of Al Forqan Newspaper is Mohammed Khalifeh. He once “posted a video on his Facebook page accompanied with the following caption: ‘The grandsons of al-Mukhatr – a poem dedicated to the mujahideen of Gaza and Palestine. We ask Allah to help them, to plant their feet firmly. I hope you like it.'”
“Canadian Arabic Newspaper Called Terrorist Attack on Synagogue a ‘Qualitative Attack,'” by Jonathan Halevi, Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, February 20, 2019:
An article on Al Forqan newspaper distributed in Canada and the United States described a terrorist attack against a synagogue in Jerusalem as a “qualitative attack” carried out by “two heroes.” Six were killed in the attack: five worshippers and a policeman.
The Palestinian Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) took responsibility for the attack.
Al Forqan is a Canadian Arabic newspaper based in Windsor, Ontario. According to its website,1 “Al Forqan is a daily online newspaper and a monthly printed newspaper issued by the Al Forqan Media Foundation, Editor and Managing Director Mohamad Hisham Khalifeh, and a group of administrators and highly qualified individuals.”
Al Forqan states:
An independent, political, and cultural newspaper, it does not follow any political party yet pursues a policy of truth and justice and includes sections on education, culture, sports, and society. Al Forqan is a contemporary newspaper, which deals with life affairs and includes topics of interest to all segments of society (Arab and Canadian writers, elite, doctors, professors, and professionals).
Distribution: The administrators purposely made the distribution of the newspaper free to ensure that it reaches all segments of society. The newspaper consists of 16 pages (eight in color), five of which in English and the other 11 in Arabic, with over 10,000 copies distributed each month in the Windsor, London, and Michigan areas (including all shops, mosques, and residential complexes).
The opinions expressed in the articles published on this website are strictly those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of Al Forqan Newspaper, its publishers or employees.
In Issue 23, November – December 2014, Al Forqan published an unsigned article titled “The incidents in Al-Quds – is this the spark of a looming intifada?” Here is an excerpt from the article (originally in Arabic):3
In light of all this pressure by the occupation, a number of young [Palestinian] Jerusalemites carried out independent vehicular attacks and stabbing operations that caused the death and injury of a number of settlers and soldiers of the occupation. Yehuda Glick, the engineer of storming the Al-Aqsa [mosque], did not escape the bullets of the [Palestinian] Jerusalemites when he was the target of an assassination attempt. He was seriously injured but was saved from death. [The most important operation] was the qualitative attack carried out by two heroes in the Jewish synagogue in which five [six] Zionists were killed, in a natural response to the repeated crimes perpetrated by the Zionist entity against Al-Aqsa Mosque and the residents of Palestine and [the city of] Al-Quds [Jerusalem].
“The qualitative attack” mentioned in Al Forqan’s article refers to the terrorist attack that took place on November 18, 2014, in the Kehilat Bnei Torah in the Har Nof neighborhood in Jerusalem. Two terrorists armed with a handgun and cleavers stormed the synagogue, attacking the Jewish worshippers during the morning prayer. A police officer and five Jewish worshippers were killed in the attack….

Yet sites like BNI and JW are constantly under attack for inciting hatred? I can’t understand the blinders people have on towards islam – an ideology that hates anything not islamic.
I’m sure traitor Trudeau enjoys his morning coffee while reading this paper.
Terry Gain says
BNI and JW are not in the same league. That’s like saying that Powerline and Legal Insurrection are the same as the site of the illiterate and dishonest Jim Hoft.

Mak incorrectly assumes that Jihadi Justin READS a newspaper and watches TV news reports. HE DOES NOTHING OF THE KIND.
– “I don’t read the newspapers; I don’t watch the news. If something important happens, someone will tell me.” February 2011
He is too ‘SPECIAL’ to gather news for himself.

Sections 318 and 319 of the Criminal Code of Canada mean nothing to Trudeau. Those Sections deal with hate literature. Trudeau supports Islamic terrorist Muslims. Read those Sections and see how the Koran perfectly fits the definition of hate literature. That filth, plus all those who follow and promote that hate literature have to face charges and for all copies to be destroyed according to the Criminal Code. Obeying the Laws of Canada have nothing to do with Trudeau and his criminal Government.

2 points:
First, what a coward that wrote the article and then was allowed by this putrid rag to leave it “unsigned”. Oh sure!
Second, keep it up! Keep broadcasting the fact of your hatred. Maybe sooner or later even the deaf, DUMB and blind liberal mentality will have to acknowledge this poisonous, cultish ideology.

And let me guess…. the government of Canada does nothing!?

We Canadians are a multi-cultural bunch; we love diversity. Just ask Justin, our dear leader. Diversity is the secret sauce in our strength. We don’t repress free speech, unless, of course, you oppose abortion. Then that’s bigoted and is hate speech and we can’t have that. Criticize this newspaper for expressing opinion? Perish the thought. Everyone knows that the killers were simply the oppressed exacting their justified revenge on their oppressors. What’s wrong with that?
Our federal government has also been very active. It’s sent applications for passports to the Canadians who went to the Middle East to fight for ISIS. It’s also translated the applications into Arabic for those Canadians who weren’t in the country long enough to learn either of the official languages. At the same time it’s cut financial benefits to veterans who are handicapped. What a government! It looks after everyone and gives them what they deserve in our multi-cultural society. The government at our service.
Atarah says
Multi-cultural is just another word for no culture at all.

Canada: Arabic newspaper praises jihad massacre at synagogue as a “qualitative attack’”
………………….
Murdering Jews is what Muslims consider “truth and justice”. *Ugh*.
Stang says
God forbid that a Charle Hebdo attack in reverse should ever happen.
gravenimage says
Infidels don’t act like Muslims.
gravenimage says
By the way, Al Forqan–also spelled Al Furqan–means “The Criterion”. There is a Verse of the Qur’an so titled.
What is “the criterion” in Islam? The ability to distinguish between what is and is not righteous in the creed.
And one of the most righteous things in Islam is murdering Jews…
Whatever says
Chris, Bob,
Thank you for your work against bad.
It is bad in a now new city of Muslims from all over the other part of the globe.
Windsor, Ontario Canada, the new frounteer of the 3rd. world.
Across from a pivotal point. America.

fuck them and the horse they rode in

“Your Ward News” is a political newspaper that was considered promoting hate speech because it exposed so many politician’s duplicity and corruption. It was ordered to not be delivered by Canada Post. A very biased and questionable decision. This “newspaper”, not fit to line a birdcage with, is applauding and encouraging murder and hate of a specific group. That, without a doubt, is true hate speech. Why is Canada Post still handling this filth? Why hasn’t the federal government charged them and removed their means of distribution? A double standard when it comes to muslims? Please contact your representative and direct to halt distribution of this hate literature. If they don’t act on it, they are as bad as the ones writing this filth.
