Canada’s state broadcaster announced Friday that journalists will no longer be required to attribute the term “terrorism” when describing the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.
“After reviewing our current language guidance, we have decided to adjust it to clarify that direct attribution is not required for describing the historic events of 9/11 as terrorism,” said Basem Boshra, CBC’s senior director of journalistic standards and public trust.
The reversal follows the leak of internal guidance instructing journalists: “Do not refer to the Sept. 11 attacks as terrorist attacks.”
Instead, reporters were told to describe the hijackings and crashes without independently characterizing them as terrorism.
According to Grok:
CBC reversed a longstanding language rule after a leaked staff memo, public backlash, and official criticism.

The public broadcaster’s policy had been to avoid using “terrorist” or “terrorism” in its own voice. Journalists were told to attribute those words to officials or experts because CBC considers them politically and emotionally loaded.
A memo circulated ahead of the 25th anniversary of 9/11 restated that rule and told staff: “Do not refer to the Sept. 11 attacks as terrorist attacks.” It instead directed them to describe hijackings that led to passenger-jet crashes. The memo was first reported by Toronto Sun columnist Warren Kinsella.

CBC initially defended the guidance as a reminder of existing practice, similar to policies at some other news organizations. The leak produced widespread criticism from Canadian Conservatives, Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree, the U.S. ambassador to Canada, and FBI Director Kash Patel, who called it a “bastardization of history.”
Critics said the wording minimized an attack that killed nearly 3,000 people, including Canadians.
CBC doesn't mind emotionally loaded stories as long as they can make the villains out to be Jews. But Muslims, including terrorists, are protected from such language by Canada's far-left national broadcaster.
Even today, few take seriously the idea that anyone would even be trying to bring Islamic law to the United States. Inconceivable!
Sheikh Raed Salah, leader of the Islamic Movement in Israel, preached on Feb. 2, 2024 that America was on its way out, and that the world had to prepare accordingly: “America has grown old. It is old. It is on the verge of retirement. It is about to be admitted into a nursing home.” The solution for America as well as for the rest of the world, said Salah, was the religion of Muhammad. He even claimed that Muhammad himself had prophesied an Islamic America: “The Prophet Muhammad has said: ‘A small army of Muslims will conquer the white house, the house of Kisar [the Persian ruler].’” In case any of his listeners missed his point, he continued, “Ever since the days of Adam and to day—this is 2024—we have never known of any house that was built and named ‘the White House,’ except for the ‘White House’ in Washington.” He didn’t bother to disclose to his audience why a Persian ruler was occupying America’s Executive Mansion. Instead, Salah drove home the point that Islam was in America’s future: “Perhaps this hadith is clear evidence that the future caliphate [that will follow] the ways of the prophets will lead to the spreading of Islam, and Islam will enter every home in every continent without exception, including every home in America.”
This is a more common view than most non-Muslims realize. a Muslim speaker told a large crowd in New York City at a rally in Feb. 2026: “Oh, don’t scare them, brothers! Relax! They’re over here on purpose to be like, ‘Oh my God!’ Who’s seen those videos where they’re like, ‘Oh my God, the Muslims are taking over New York City!’ Seen those? You seen those? Let them know that we are taking over New York City! Takbir!” The crowd responded with enthusiastic screams of “Allahu akbar.”=
This also recalled a video that surfaced back in Dec. 2025, in which a young Somali Muslim in the U.S. holds a large photo of President Donald Trump and says: “My biggest fear in life is that this man may never witness our full takeover. Yes, he may never wi— witness that. He already witnessed our partial takeover, our little success, in America…. So. He’s old and sick, I know, he may not witness our full takeover. But I promise you that his sons will witness.”
On May 27, 2026 at the Dar Al-Hijrah Islamic Center in Falls Church, Virginia, the imam Esam Omeish said: “The best thing we can do to America is help guide it with the guidance of Islam, and help guide it with the ability to rid itself of these illnesses that our Prophet Muhammad has described and has given us the prescription for.”
Founded by Alexander Hamilton as the first industrial city in America, Paterson, N.J., is now home to America’s largest Palestinian community and largest proportion of Muslim residents. Today, New Jersey’s third-largest city is effectively run by its 30,000 Muslims, some of whom say they don’t need to learn English because it’s like living “back home” in an Arab city.
Paterson holds an annual Palestinian flag-raising ceremony, during which residents chant, “Free Free Palestine!” And in 2022, it renamed a five-block stretch of Main Street “Palestine Way.”
In June 2023, Paterson Mayor Andre Sayegh signed a sister city agreement with the mayor of Ramallah, a city in the West Bank and the seat of power of the Palestinian Authority, which officially celebrates the killing of Israelis. And last year during a ceremony kicking off Ramadan, he declared his city the “capital of Palestine in the United States of America” and the “fourth-holiest city” in Islam. “We are 100% halal!” Sayegh gushed, meaning pure and lawful under Islam. The mayor even agreed to hang a sign at the city entrance that reads: “Welcome to Little Palestine.”
Paterson is just one of several American cities – which also includes Hamtramck and Dearborn in Michigan – now controlled by Muslims; followers of Islam also exert outsized influence in some larger cities such as Minneapolis and New York.
To varying degrees, the actions of Muslims in these communities echo those of immigrant groups who came before them – creating thriving communities that can feel more foreign than American, supporting one another to gain office and influence, renaming streets after their own heroes, giving recognition to their own holidays. But critics warn that communities such as Paterson also reflect the different challenges posed by Islam, which is now the nation’s fastest-growing religion.
As is also the case in Western Europe, assimilation is demonstrably rare in U.S. municipalities with heavy concentrations of Muslim migrants. In these areas, large influxes of Muslims from abroad have changed not only the complexion, culture, values and traditions of cities, but also the demographic makeup of city councils, school boards, police departments and courts. Muslim officials, in turn, have changed laws or how existing laws are enforced to conform to the tenets of Islam – an unwelcome trend for many non-Muslims and particularly Jews threatened by their militantly anti-Israel rhetoric and positions.
“Our number one and top priority is to protect and defend our community, it is not to assimilate,”asserted Linda Sarsour, a renowned Palestinian activist who lives in the Paterson area and has helped transform the city.
RCI’s reporting on this phenomenon has found that Muslims often break with U.S. norms on a wide range of fundamental issues – from the separation of church and state and attitudes toward people of different faiths to what constitutes women’s rights and terrorism. As Muslims remake communities in their own images, they are dramatically changing the ever-evolving idea of what it means to be an American….
Mississippi Gets Its First Muslim Judge in a Hijab

Islamization continues apace. And it’s not just New York City or Dallas: Mississippi got its first ‘Muslim judge’. Did a small town in Mississippi really need a Muslim judge in a hijab? How many Muslims are there in Benoit: a town of only 400 people?
But someone appointed Assma Ali, an immigrant from the Muslim terror state of Yemen, a hub of Al-Qaeda and Iran’s Houthis, and the source of the Islamic terrorist attack on the USS Cole, to act as a municipal judge.
This story has played out in the usual fashion with concerned Americans asking why a small town in Mississippi needs an Islamist judge and the media running stories warning about an ‘Islamophobic backlash,’ featuring praise and glamor shots of what they claim is a perfectly wonderful woman who just happens to follow the practices of a cruel and brutal ideology commanding her to persecute non-Muslims.
Is there no one in Mississippi who can be a judge? But think of the representation. A Yemeni Muslim immigrant is entitled to representation even if there are none or hardly any Muslims in the small town in Mississippi that she’s asserting her authority over.
But Americans in Benoit are not entitled to representation by their own judge. Only others are entitled to rule over them.
Representation is really colonization.
It should be interesting to see if she can fairly judge Americans under American law.
