"A #ReformUK mayoral candidate has described members of a #Jewish neighbourhood watch group as “cosplayers” and likened them to “#Islamists on horseback” in comments made after an attack on #ambulances run by a Jewish charity.

#ChrisParry, who remains #Reform’s mayoral candidate for #Hampshire despite a previous controversy in which he said #DavidLammy should “go home” to the #Caribbean, made the comments on Monday about #Shomrim, a group of volunteers who safeguard communities including #Orthodox Jewish families.

#Parry, a retired rear admiral, retweeted a post on X by #CatherineBlaiklock, a co-founder of the #Brexit party, hours after news of the attack on the ambulances in north #London emerged.

Shomrim works alongside #Hatzola, the charity #ambulance service that was targeted by #arsonists early on Monday morning and provides #emergency #medical response and transportation to #hospitals for both Jewish and non-Jewish people."

The #MadridTrainBombings, the most lethal non-state #terrorist attack in #Spain's history, struck rush-hour commuter trains on #ThisDayInHistory in 2004, killing 193 & injuring ~2500. The attack was a response by #Islamists to Spain's participation in the 2003 invasion of #Iraq.

From #Yemen to #Sudan & #Somalia, #SaudiArabia repeatedly backs #Islamists & #extremists—while the #UAE supports more stable, pro-Western forces. @mrubin1971 argues #Riyadh is on the wrong side of this #rivalry. #Somaliland

In The Saudi Arabia–UAE Rivalry, Riyadh Is On The Wrong Side

From Yemen to Sudan and Somalia, Saudi Arabia’s alignment with Islamists and extremists contrasts sharply with the UAE’s pro-Western approach. Michael Rubin argues Riyadh’s choices are destabilizing the region and harming U.S. interests.

Can anybody explain how Jolani and his syrian Islamists could cross the Euphrat river that quickly?

And how could they take Raqqa in a day or two?

Always keep this in mind:
Not all #muslims are #islamists.
Dare and care to differentiate.
Thank you. #PSA

And no: I am neither a muslim nor a Christian. I define myself as 2/3 agnostic and 1/3 atheist. No Christmas tree or candles here, sorry.

On #ThisDayInHistory in 2015, #Islamists associated with #Daesh (#ISIS) attacked #Paris, killing 130 people and injuring ~416. The main targets were the #Bataclan theatre and the #StadeDeFrance, though six sites were hit. The attacks were widely condemned in the #Muslim world.
