Guest: Wendy Gillis, crime and policing reporter Over the past nine weeks, a Canadian courtroom heard disturbing testimonies of how and why 22-year-old Nathaniel Veltman murdered three generations of a Muslim family in 2021. Now guilty for the deaths of Salman Afzaal, his wife Madiha, 15-year-old daughter Yumna and 74-year-old mother Talat, and for the attempted murder of Salman's nine-year-old son, the upcoming sentencing will be a significant litmus test for Canada's anti-terror laws. What is also critical is the need to unravel how a small-town factory worker just out of his teens became a deadly mass murderer. Veltman's descent down the rabbit-hole of far-right extremism has exposed a deadly threat in Canada, as hate is once again on the rise. We retrace the digital footsteps of Veltman's radicalization.

In June 2021, Nathaniel Veltman intentionally ran his truck into the Afzaal family, who were simply out for a walk. All but one member of the family was killed, and Veltman later said he did it because he was looking for Muslims to run over. Last week, Veltman was quickly found guilty of four counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted murder.His trial, the first in Canada to officially associate terrorism with white supremacy, offered a glimpse into where he found his hatred, how it twisted him, and how similar attacks might be prevented. His sentencing may also indicate just how the courts will treat terrorism charges in cases like these going forward.GUEST: Wendy Gillis, crime reporter, The Toronto Star

It's been just over two years since four members of the Afzaal family were killed after a truck drove into them on a summer evening in London, Ontario. Now, 22-year-old Nathaniel Veltman is on trial for four counts of first-degree murder, one count of attempted murder and terrorism charges for what prosecutors are calling an attack motivated by “white nationalism”. An earlier version of this episode incorrectly stated that Anders Breivik killed 77 people in Norway in 2021. That date is incorrect. The killings happened in 2011. So far, the jury has heard testimonies from the detective that interviewed him, arresting officers, audio of the 911 call and have seen footage Veltman's statements to police hours after the attack. Kate Dubinski of CBC London takes us through the details of the trial, what members of the Muslim community are saying about the case and the impact it could have on the country's terrorism laws.

Islamofobia Ambyar dalam Genggaman Khilafah Oleh: Nurjamilah, S.Pd.I. (Kontributor Tetap NarasiPost.Com) Voice Over Talent : Yeni M NarasiPost.Com-Islamofobia dan terorisme antimuslim di Kanada kembali mencuat. Kebencian terhadap Islam dan kaum muslim tak terbendung lagi. Selama ini mereka selalu menganggap muslim bukanlah bagian dari Barat. Padahal, sejarah mencatat bahwa kemajuan negara-negara Barat saat ini tak bisa dilepaskan dari kontribusi umat Islam terdahulu.

Eropa berjaya tersebab ideologi Islam yang diembannya, sehingga mampu menjadi kiblat dunia dalam banyak hal, termasuk ilmu pengetahuan. Sanggupkah mereka melawan lupa? Dilansir dari www.detiknews.com (08/06/2021), satu keluarga muslim yang terdiri dari 2 orang laki-laki dan 3 orang perempuan di selatan Provinsi Ontario, Kanada tewas ditabrak truk pick-up yang dikendarai pria berusia 20 tahun bernama Nathaniel Veltman. Empat orang tewas dan satu orang selamat dengan luka parah. Polisi berhasil menangkap pelakunya yang memang telah merencanakan pembunuhan terhadap keluarga itu sebelumnya, tersebab mereka muslim. Peristiwa itu memicu timbulnya berbagai respon dan simpati, termasuk dari Perdana Menteri Kanada Justin Trudeau, dia meyatakan, “Kepada komunitas muslim di London dan muslim di seluruh negeri, ketahuilah bahwa kami mendukung Anda. Islamofobia tidak memiliki tempat di komunitas kami. Kebencian ini berbahaya dan tercela dan itu harus dihentikan.” (bisnis.com, 08/06/2021) Lantas, apakah kecaman ini merupakan ungkapan ketulusan ataukah hanya lip service belaka?

Three generations of a Muslim Canadian family killed, leaving a 9-year-old child orphaned. The motive was horrific: Nathaniel Veltman, the pickup driver who mowed into them targeted them because of their faith. Thus far, Federal and provincial Crown attorneys have laid terror charges against Veltman while Police allege the incident was a planned and premeditated attack targeting Muslims However, Canadian Society continues to address the tragic killing of the Afzaal family as an "isolated incident"; yet Canada simultaneously faces virulent anti-Muslim hate and a brand of exceptionalism that promotes apathy and even denial towards the very existence of islamophobia in the country.

Canadian man Nathaniel Veltman has been charged with murder in the case of the Azfaal family in London, Ontario. Veltman deliberately rammed his truck into them when they were out for a stroll in early June in what police called a premeditated attack. Four people were killed and a nine-year-old boy was injured. Now, for the first time in Canada, prosecutors say they plan to charge a person with terrorism in a case that involves an alleged Islamophobic act. Some legal experts say that adding the terrorism charge signals a shift in how Canada prosecutes those accused of terrorist activity. Related: Canada grapples with Islamophobia after killing of a Muslim familyCanadian Muslims welcomed the news that Veltman would be charge with terrorism. “It says to the Muslim community, we value the Muslim community and we will push for accountability."Nawaz Tahir, spokesperson, London osque“It says to the Muslim community, we value the Muslim community and we will push for accountability,” said Nawaz Tahir, a spokesperson for the London mosque.Terrorism has been a criminal offense in Canada since the 9/11 attacks on the United States. The law has been used almost exclusively to prosecute people with ties to Islamist groups. Tahir said that's left many Muslims feeling frustrated.“The frustration is, well, when Canadian Muslims are being killed and it appears to be an act of terror, why haven't terrorism charges been used?” he said.Tahir points to a shooting rampage at the Quebec City mosque in 2017. Six people died and five were injured. The shooter, Alexandre Bissonnette, was sentenced to 40 years for murder — the longest sentence in Canadian history. But he was never charged with terrorism.  “There was a lot of anger about whether the justice system was serious about protecting Muslims,” Tahir said. Related: France grieves victims of Nice church knife attackLike most democracies, Canada defines terrorism as the use of violence that is meant to coerce or scare people. But prosecutors also have to prove that an alleged terrorist act was motivated by religion, politics or ideology.Wesley Wark, an anti-terrorism expert at the University of Ottawa, said that unless there's clear evidence, like a confession or a written manifesto, the chances of ideological motivation “may be slim.”Adding a terrorism charge to an existing murder charge doesn't increase the sentence. So, Wark said, it's a safer bet to stick with murder. “The implications of losing such a case if you lay terrorism charges and other criminal code charges is really devastating."Wesley Wark, anti-terrorism expert, University of Ottawa“The implications of losing such a case if you lay terrorism charges and other criminal code charges is really devastating,” he said. “It's devastating to relations of the victims. It's devastating to the government's efforts to counter terrorism in all kinds of obvious ways. It's an embarrassment.”Related: French teacher's murder widens France-Turkey rift over secularismBut national security expert Leah West said the balance between getting a guaranteed conviction and sending a message about terrorism has started to shift."There is a sense that the public interest does weigh in favor of actually denouncing the act of violence as terrorism — not just to denounce this type of activity for those who might seek to engage or who have similar belief systems — but also to signal to the communities that they have been the targets of terrorism..."Leah West, national security expert"There is a sense that the public interest does weigh in favor of actually denouncing the act of violence as terrorism — not just to denounce this type of activity for those who might seek to engage or who have similar belief systems — but also to signal to the communities that they have been the targets of terrorism, and what they are suffering from is victimization by a terrorist group or a terrorist,” she said.West said that it reflects a change in the type of terrorist activity on security officials' radar, which previously focused on Islamist-inspired extremism. Related: The Proud Boys disbands in Canada, denies being a terrorist group“Individuals can be motivated to take terrorist acts by all kinds of ideologies and belief systems, and we're seeing those increasingly target various communities within Canada,” she said.Reports from the Canadian Security Intelligence Service say there's been an increase in ideologically-motivated extremism, and the national Royal Canadian Mounted Police force has flagged concerns about the rapid growth of “hateful” and ideologically-motivated extremism online. Security officials say the threat posed by xenophobic, mysogynist and anti-government groups and ideologies is greater than ever. Police in London, Ontario, still haven't said which evidence they have that shows the attack on the Afzaal family was ideologically motivated. But Nawaz Tahir said Muslims in the community are shaken to the core. He said many are questioning whether they need to take steps to hide their Muslim faith.“Some people have asked, you know, should I go for a walk if I'm wearing traditional clothing? Some women have asked, should I now take off my hijab?” he said.He said a successful prosecution for terrorism, as well as for murder, could be the start of their healing.

A well-respected Muslim family, who emigrated from Pakistan to Canada, and were model citizens, living a life of love and learning, were cruelly mowed down on one of their evening walks by 20-year-old Nathaniel Veltman in a pickup truck. In the first segment of this episode of The Terrorist Therapist Show, we take a close look at the Salman Afzaal family: father (a physiotherapist), mother (an engineer), daughter (a 9th grade honor student) and grandmother (the matriarch) - who were all killed. Only a 9-year-old son survived and is hospitalized. If their murderer was motivated by hate, he chose a family who did not fit the stereotype that is sometimes unfortunately foisted on Muslims. Veltman is charged with 4 counts of murder and 1 count of attempted murder, and there is controversy over whether terrorism charges should be added. Next, Dr. Carole puts Nathaniel Veltman on her couch and takes us inside his mind to figure out what motivated him to perpetrate this savage act. And it’s more complicated than you might imagine. On the one hand, there’s Islamophobia/Hate Crime/Terrorism. On the other, there’s a troubled childhood, including grief over a family member’s death, scars of his parents’ divorce, addiction to violent video games, insufficiently treated anger issues, jealousy over the Muslim family’s seeming closeness as contrasted with his own dysfunctional family, and more.

Few Canadians understand both the First Nations and Jewish communities as well as Nakuset. The prominent activist, at a young age, was taken from her home in the Sixties Scoop and adopted by a wealthy Jewish family in Montreal. Today, she joins the podcast to discuss Canada's reckoning with its recent history of brutality against First Nations people, especially in the light of the mass grave of children discovered at a Kamloops residential school. Plus: We discuss the terrible hate crime that killed four Muslim people in London, Ont. In the first 24 hours, there was a flurry of fears among Canadian Jews that the alleged perpetrator—Nathaniel Veltman, at times erreously reported as Veldman or Feldman—could have been a member of the community. (It has been all but confirmed that he is not.) In the wake of the tragedy, our hosts ask: Does it even matter if he was Jewish? What impact did the Islamophobic attack have on the Jewish community? And what would it have meant if Veltman actually were Jewish?

*) Ontario Muslim family killed in anti-Islam hate crime We start in Canada, where a man rammed his truck into a Muslim family of five, killing four members. Ontario officials confirmed the family was targeted because they were Muslim. Ontario police identified the attacker as 20-year-old Nathaniel Veltman. The extended family identified the deceased as Madiha Afzal, her husband Salman, their daughter Yumna, who was 15, and a 74-year-old grandmother. Their 9-year-old son Faez is in the hospital with serious injuries. *) Israeli police suspend right-wing march in occupied East Jerusalem Israeli police have cancelled a pro-settler march by Jewish ultranationalists in occupied East Jerusalem after warnings it could reignite tensions that led to an 11-day bombardment of Gaza in May. The parade celebrates Israel's occupation of East Jerusalem in 1967, which remains illegal under international law. Prime Minister Netanyahu later asked the police to present him with a plan to ensure the contentious march can go ahead, local media reported. *) Russia withdraws from Open Skies Treaty President Vladimir Putin has signed a law that formalises Russia's exit from the Open Skies arms control treaty. The Kremlin said the US decision to withdraw from the treaty, that allows for mutual aerial observation, compelled Russia to follow suit. The treaty was first proposed in 1955 by former US president Dwight Eisenhower to de-escalate Cold War tension. *) US approves controversial Alzheimer's drug, first for AD in 20 years The US has approved the first new drug for Alzheimer's in nearly 20 years, ignoring warnings that the treatment does not help slow the disease. The FDA approved the drug from Biogen based on “reasonably likely” benefits to Alzheimer's patients. Biogen is expected to make billions off the drug, with shares on Monday closing up at $395.85 – their highest level in over six years. And finally ... *) France watchdog fines Google $267M for favouring own ads France's competition regulator has fined Google $267 million for favouring its own services for placing online ads at the expense of rivals. The penalty is part of a settlement reached after three media groups accused Google in 2019. Google later said it will test chances to its widely used online advertising services over the coming months following the French antitrust decision.
