All around the Islamic world, and even in the West, “blasphemers”—those who would talk against Islam—are under attack; some are murdered, many imprisoned. Validating this assertion is almost futile, as blasphemy-related stories surface with extreme regularity. The recent murder of an American citizen being tried for blasphemy in a Pakistani courtroom is just the most “spectacular.” Incidences of Muslims beating or imprisoning (two with death sentences) those who say or do something critical of Islam—to say nothing of just rioting in general—have in recent days and weeks been reported from Austria, Bangladesh, Egypt, France, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Nigeria, Norway, Tunisia, and the UK.

In a wide-ranging speech at a campaign rally Saturday night, President Donald Trump ramped up attacks against his opponent, Joe Biden, calling Biden the “dumbest of all candidates,” and went so far as to declare, “maybe I’ll sign an executive order that you cannot have him as your president.”Trump also expanded on his unproven claim that Biden is on drugs, stating, “they gave him a big fat shot in the ass… and for two hours, he is better than ever before. Problem is, what happens after that?” At one point in the speech, Trump seemingly threatened to attempt to ban Biden from being elected President of the United States. “If I lose to him, I don’t know what I’m going to do,” Trump said Saturday night. “I will never speak to you again. You’ll never see me again.”

Police in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia have made two arrests as tensions rise over a lobster fishery set up by the indigenous community. Officers detained two people for assault as crowds gathered to mark the launch. Members of the Sipekne’katik First Nation say they have a right to issue fishing licences to their own people. Non-indigenous lobster fishers, however, say their boats are operating out of season and should be stopped. The row comes on the anniversary of a ruling that affirmed the rights of indigenous groups to hunt and fish.

In April 2017, Devon Blackmore was 17 years old and just three months away from graduating high school in Penticton, B.C., when he went into a seizure and died on the floor of his girlfriend Keira Bourque’s room. Bourque, who was 20 at the time and living with her father, had injected Blackmore with two doses of morphine in order to ease the pain he was experiencing from undiagnosed pneumonia, according to Crown lawyer Andrew Vandersluys, who addressed the court at Bourque’s sentencing hearing on Friday. Earlier this year Bourque pleaded guilty to one count of manslaughter. The Crown is seeking a three-year prison sentence and argued that in injecting Blackmore with morphine, Bourque was aware of the risk of death or serious bodily harm, but she gave him the drug anyway.

Demonstrators carried banners saying “Covid is a hoax” and “My body, my choice: No to mandatory masks,” as well as chanting at police: “Choose your side.”
