A scandal at a Berlin youth center has escalated after a sworn affidavit alleged that staff failed to report serious sexual assault claims to police over concerns about “stigmatizing” Muslim suspects.

The affidavit, submitted to Senate and district authorities, was filed by employees of a neighboring facility who said they repeatedly urged staff at the Wutzkyallee youth center in Neukölln to contact police. According to the document, staff declined to act despite being told that a 16-year-old girl had been raped and that videos of the assaults were being used to blackmail her. A coordinator reportedly justified the decision by saying the “Muslim boys” involved were already known to police and that further reporting could contribute to their marginalization.

The girl was allegedly raped at the youth center in November and later sexually assaulted again by a group of up to eight teenage suspects. The affidavit also describes a wider pattern of misconduct over several months, including groping, unwanted physical contact, and girls being pulled onto boys’ laps.

A German court has sentenced four men to imprisonment for their involvement in a network that stored weapons to be used in attacks in Europe—under the direction of the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas. The verdict was delivered in Berlin on Wednesday, March 25th.

The men, aged between 36 and 58, were convicted of membership in a foreign terrorist organisation and received prison sentences ranging from four to six years. According to presiding judge Doris Husch, the group had been involved in building and maintaining weapons depots as part of preparations for possible attacks targeting Jewish and Israeli sites across Europe.

The defendants were partially identified as Abdelhamid Al A. and Ibrahim El R., both born in Lebanon, Egyptian national Mohammed B., and Dutch national Nazih R.

A wave of suspected antisemitic attacks across Europe has prompted fresh security measures, with Belgium deploying armed soldiers after a synagogue explosion in Liège.

Belgian authorities said troops would be stationed at Jewish sites in major cities following the March 9th explosion, which MP Sam van Rooy described as “the predictable outcome of importing antisemitism from the Islamic world.”

Interior Minister Bernard Quintin on Tuesday said it was better to assume further attacks are coming than to wait for them to happen.

A mother in Lower Saxony who found a disturbing video on her daughter’s phone that revealed that she was gang raped inside a church-run youth center by three teens, including a Syrian, Iranian, and Dutch national, in Gnarrenburg. However, once the story came out, it only grew darker, as it was revealed that staff, church officials and local authorities subsequently did everything possible to bury the story.

This gang rape comes after national news reports revealed that a gang rape sexual assault occurred in another youth center in Berlin, but which was covered up because the assailants were Muslims and the youth center workers did not want to increase stigmatization.

A new report says that the J.P. Morgan Wealth Management office at Rockefeller Center in New York City has installed a Muslim foot-washing station designed to facilitate ritual washing before prayer.

Amy Mekelburg, founder of the RAIR Foundation USA, centered on topics such as immigration, Islam, left-wing politics, and globalism, stated on X that Muslim foot-washing stations at the JPM building in NYC come as no surprise, indicating “this isn’t random.”

“JPMorgan openly structures billions in Sharia-compliant deals: Murabaha, Sukuk Islamic bonds, liquidity products – all avoiding ‘riba’ interest per Islamic law,” Mekelburg said.

She noted, “While everyday Americans get stuck with interest-based banking, the elite side bends to Sharia rules, funnels capital into Islamic finance, and now embeds wudu rituals in corporate bathrooms.”

That’s hardly the reminder one would like to think suitable for modern day London. Yet it is the one the Campaign Against Antisemitism (CAA) group saw fit after four ambulances belonging to a Jewish charity based in the city were destroyed in an overnight arson attack.

London’s Metropolitan Police says it is investigating the attack as an antisemitic hate crime. Prime Minister Keir Starmer has also condemned what he described as the “deeply shocking antisemitic arson attack.”

No injuries to the public or emergency services have been reported. But CAA representative Gideon Falter said on Monday morning that the attack revealed “the new depth that Britain has descended to.”

While the troop contingent will guard synagogues and schools, part of its assignment also includes working against the Kingdom’s burgeoning narcotics trade, especially in the capital.

Spain is facing mounting concern over the long-term consequences of years of large-scale Moroccan migration, as warnings grow that a sizable and increasingly organized community could begin to exert coordinated political influence.

Official figures cited by La Región show that nearly 900,000 Moroccan nationals were living in Spain in 2024, making them the largest Muslim group in the country.

More than 226,000 are concentrated in Catalonia, with numbers continuing to rise sharply.

What is now causing alarm is not just the scale, but the potential for political mobilization.

Gee, if the Spanish had done this in Morocco, the Usual Suspects would be whining about ‘colonialization’.

But when Muslims do it to European countries, well, that’s all right, then.

This is what Restore Britain is talking about when they complain that their country is being ‘colonised’.

Several ambulances reportedly belonging to a Jewish volunteer organisation have been set alight in Golders Green, northwest London.

Belgium marked the 22 March 2016 terrorist attacks on Sunday, which killed 32 people and injured more than 300.

Official ceremonies began at Zaventem Airport, continued at Maelbeek metro station—another site of the attacks—and concluded at a central memorial in Brussels. Prime Minister Bart De Wever, King Philippe of Belgium, and Queen Mathilde attended the events.

Remembrance events had already begun on Saturday, when a human chain was formed at Maelbeek metro station to mark the tenth anniversary of the attacks.

The Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attacks, which were carried out by the same network behind the Paris attacks a few months earlier, which killed 130 people. After retreating to safe houses in Brussels, the attackers launched a hastily organised operation days after the arrest of Salah Abdeslam, the only surviving member of the Paris cell on 18 March.

For 15 years the FBI was engaged in a landmark investigation into the largest Islamic-based charity in the United States, called The Holy Land Foundation. The organization was operating as a front for Muslim terror groups, funneling cash from western countries to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, until they were finally put on trial in 2008.

Convicted leaders were known as the “Holy Land Five,” and included Shukri Abu Baker, Ghassan Elashi, Mufid Abdulqader, Abdulrahman Odeh, and Mohammad El-Mezain. Among the documents seized from these individuals during the investigation was a strategic paper drafted by senior Muslim Brotherhood operative Mohamed Akram in 1991.

The paper was titled: “Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Group in North America”. It outlined an agenda called the “Civilization-Jihadist Process”, also known as “Stealth Jihad”.

The memorandum gave detailed methods for establishing Islam as a “civilization alternative” in the West and a “grand Jihad” for eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within. It called for the ‘sabotaging’ of the west and its “miserable house” by domestic hands AND the hands of the believers so that the west is eliminated and “God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.”

The plan explicitly referred to using western society’s own people, institutions, laws, and unwitting allies (progressive groups and NGOs, media, politicians, academics, or civil-rights organizations) to advance the Islamic agenda.

And it appears to be working.

Ben Shapiro.

Don’t fall for the propaganda. Iran is not holding its own in this conflict. It is being systematically dismantled.

One by one, the senior figures of the Islamic Republic have been eliminated: generals, security chiefs and regime power brokers. The country’s leadership has been decapitated at the highest levels, leaving behind a hollowed-out command structure struggling to function.

Even the regime’s attempts at continuity appear shaky. A successor was hastily elevated, but reports suggest instability, absence and internal disarray at the very top. Whatever facade of order Tehran hoped to project has given way to uncertainty and silence.

Meanwhile, the military picture is equally stark. Iran’s command-and-control systems have been fractured. Its missile and drone capabilities – once touted as pillars of deterrence – have been severely degraded. What remains is not a coordinated campaign but sporadic, diminished retaliation.

The Telegraph (UK).

American A-10 attack jets screamed low over the Strait of Hormuz to hunt Iranian speedboats racing through the narrow waterway.

Apache helicopters joined the assault, and 5,000lb bombs struck underground weapons sites across southern Iran, the US said.

They wanted to destroy Iran’s fast-attack boats and missile bases, which had been targeting passing oil tankers, with the goal of reopening the vital shipping lane and ending the global energy crisis.

But the main threat to shipping may be one that American jets cannot see or easily target: a small fleet of Iranian midget submarines designed for the shallow, murky waters of the Gulf.

Iran has up to 10 Ghadir-class midget submarines, which are roughly a tenth the size of conventional attack submarines at 120 tons in weight and 29m in length.

About the size of a narco-sub.

An Islamic leader has backed the Conservative Party and Nigel Farage after they criticised a mass prayer session for Muslim men in Trafalgar Square.

Writing for The Telegraph (see below), Dr Taj Hargey said he found the open-air worship on Monday, attended by hundreds of men, including Sir Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London, “disturbing”.

He agreed with Nick Timothy, the shadow justice secretary, who described the event, organised by the Ramadan Tent Project, as an “act of domination and division” in an article for The Telegraph on Tuesday.

Historically, when Muslims conquered some place, they would mark the occasion with public prayers in the conquered territory. They expecially love turning Christian churches into mosques, as with Hagia Sopia in Constantinople.

Belgium’s coastline has become the latest front in a high-stakes game of tactical evasion, as human traffickers appear to be shifting operations away from heavily monitored French border zones.

During a major joint operation on Thursday night, federal and local police rescued 19 migrants from a dinghy in difficulty off the resort of De Haan—an unusual location far east of traditional launch points.

While arrests were made and smuggling equipment, including outboard motors and fuel, was seized, the “cat-and-mouse” nature of the crisis is increasingly stretching local resources.

Governor Carl Decaluwé of West Flanders has issued a blunt warning: with the Easter holidays approaching, he refuses to allow a situation where “small boats carrying migrants are sailing among the surfers.”

Citing reports that around 80 migrants travelled from Dunkirk into Belgium by public transport, Decaluwé has floated closing the border with France or introducing systematic checks.

Iran has never confined its interference in other countries to the Middle East, nor have its activities been restricted to attacks on Israel. Long before the horrors of 7 October 2023, Argentina had already become a target of the Islamic Republic.

On 17 March 1992, a suicide bomber drove a Ford F-100 pickup truck packed with explosives into the Israeli embassy in the Retiro neighbourhood of Buenos Aires. The blast destroyed the embassy building and surrounding structures, including a Catholic church and a school, killing 29 people and injuring more than 200. The victims included both Israeli embassy staff and Argentine citizens, Jewish and non-Jewish alike.

Responsibility for the attack was immediately claimed by a group known as Islamic Jihad Organisation, a Lebanese Shia militia widely believed to have links to Hezbollah and the Iranian state. Their stated motive was revenge for the assassination of Abbas al-Musawi, Secretary General of Hezbollah, which Israel had carried out a month earlier, on 16 February. (Musawi was replaced by Hassan Nasrallah, who was also assassinated by the Jewish state, on 27 September 2024).

A reminder that “Somaliland” is the breakaway northern region, ignored by the rest of the world, where law and order prevails and people are relative ly prosperous—not “Somalia”, the poverty-stricken and clan-warfare-ridden eastern region, where there is no government to speak of but the UN keeps wasting money on ‘humanitarian aid’.

Let’s see – it’s been close to seven years since I wrote my first post on the subject of Omar’s marriage to her alleged brother. I deemed the evidence very plausible although unproven. The Powerline bloggers had already been on the case for quite some time and were quite convincing. But it was still treated as a wild and nasty slur.

Now we have the breakaway country of Somaliland saying that yes, it’s true – and also that her father was one of the oppressors, not the oppressed. I had started hearing that charge more recently; maybe a year or two ago?

I don’t think anything will come of this. One reason is that, even if there was fraud involved on Omar’s immigration application, it would have been on the part of her family, since she was about thirteen when she came to this country (at least according to Wiki). Even if proven, her immigration fraud in marrying her brother to help him would not invalidate her own status, according to my understanding of the law.

Nevertheless, it’s not a good look. Somaliland posts some documents here.

Rather ironic, Muslims calling a non-Muslim ‘genocide supporter’.

According to The Washington Free Beacon, the first lady of New York City celebrated the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, designated by the State Department as a terrorist group. She also cheered on the First Intifada against Israel.

The Beacon reported that Duwaji, now 28, posted on the social media website Tumblr under the pseudonym “diimashq.” This account posted a photo of Palestinian terrorist Leila Khaled in 2017 with the caption “If it does good for my cause, I’ll be happy to accept death.”

Since I last lived in London 30 years ago, Britain has seen the largest inward migration in its recorded history of more than 2,000 years, most of it from outside Europe. In 1996, the country was more than 90% indigenous English, Irish, Scottish, and Welsh. Today it is only 73%.

One story that really captures the mass migration and assimilation crisis of modern England is that of Harman Singh Kapoor, a Sikh immigrant who owns a restaurant called Rangrez in Hammersmith, north London. Kapoor publicly declared that he would not serve halal meat. “Halal” is the Arabic term for permitted, or clean, as opposed to “haram”—forbidden, or unclean. Observant Muslims will only eat halal food, just as observant Jews will only eat kosher.

Singh’s need to declare that he would not serve halal meat, or his manner of doing so, could be questioned. But it’s his restaurant and his call. The simple thing for any objecting Muslims to do would be not to eat there.

But this is “multicultural” London, where indigenous English are barely a third of the population. Conflicts from the old country are imported intact. Magnified on social media, the halal issue resulted in confrontations at Rangrez. At one point, a large group of men showed up outside. Singh had said he carried a knife for defense (one of five items a religious Sikh man must carry at all times, incidentally) and he was arrested. He has now apparently decided to close up shop.

14 days after a Muslim terrorist shot up a bar in Austin, 8 days after two Muslim terrorists threw IEDs at an anti-Islamization rally in New York City, 7 days after Muslim terrorists bombed the U.S. embassy in Sweden, 3 days after Muslim terrorists attacked a college in Virginia and a Jewish preschool in Michigan, and days after Muslim terrorists bombed a synagogue and school in the Netherlands, politicians marked the ‘International Day to Combat Islamophobia’.

The ‘International Day to Combat Islamophobia’ was brought into being at the request of Pakistan, which harbored Osama bin Laden, the mastermind of 9/11, at the request of its former leader, Imran Khan, nicknamed ‘Taliban Khan’, who had referred to Bin Laden as a “martyr”.

Christians in Pakistan can be casually killed by Muslims or locked up by the regime if they are accused of the ‘Islamophobic’ crime of blasphemy. A year before ‘Taliban Khan’ and the United Nations gave us the ‘International Day to Combat Islamophobia’, Pakistan finally allowed Asia Bibi, a Christian woman who had been sentenced to death for blasphemy, to flee the country.

What is really needed is an International Day to Combat Islamophilia.

Some 1,200 miles from the Strait of Hormuz across the Arabian Peninsula, sits another of the world’s most vulnerable shipping choke points.

Just like the now-paralysed entrance to the Gulf, the Bab al-Mandeb Strait channels a crowded maritime trade artery through a narrow gap.

This strait connecting the Suez Canal and Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean is even narrower, at just 20 miles across, but is a vital gateway between Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

The hillside village of Nabi Sheet in Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley is drenched in Hezbollah lore. It’s the burial site of Seth, Adam’s son, and the birthplace of Abbas al-Musawi, the terror group’s former leader and co-founder.

It’s here that Iran’s Revolutionary Guards are said to have first started training the “Party of God” (the literal translation of Hezbollah) to spread the Islamic Revolution two years after taking control of Tehran in 1979.

Today, the village is once again in the thick of it. Two weeks ago, on March 6, Israeli commandos stole into the village in the dead of night and dug up the graveyard looking for the remains of Ron Arad, an Israeli airman who has been “missing in action” since being captured by Lebanese Shia forces in October 1986.

But recently, something has gone terribly wrong with immigration—an open border, of course, but also a change in legal immigration as well as student visitors.

During World War II, Japanese Americans fought heroically in horrific conditions in Italy in the famous 442nd Regimental Combat Team and 100th Infantry Battalion—even as their families were interned in the Western United States. Few native-born Americans were more loyal or patriotic than the Japanese Americans.

And now?

While America is at war with Iran and de facto with its terrorist proxies, crowds of immigrants, visitors, and foreign students in New York scream anti-American slogans as they cheer on our enemies in theocratic Iran and its terrorist proxies, Hezbollah and Hamas.

Are we surprised, then, when Islamic terrorists begin hunting down Americans on our own soil?

After multiple shooters who reportedly supported the Islamic State attacked Americans amid the Iran war, a Muslim reformer warns that a “seditious” form of his faith poses a grave threat to America, and warns his fellow Republicans need to correctly identify the threat.

Congressmen Keith Self and Chip Roy, both Republicans from Texas, established a “Sharia-Free America Caucus.” Roy warned that “Sharia is a direct threat to our Constitution and Western values and seeks to replace our legal system and erode our basic freedoms.”

“I am a supporter of Chip Roy… and see eye-to-eye with [his allies] on the threat of the global Sharia supremacist movement and the threat domestically against the American way of life,” M. Zuhdi Jasser, a medical doctor and military veteran who founded the American Islamic Forum for Democracy, told The Daily Signal in an interview Friday.

Ten years after jihadist bombings tore through Brussels, killing 32 people and injuring hundreds, survivors and officials gathered near Maelbeek station to mark an anniversary that remains unresolved for many of those who lived through it.

The tribute took place just metres from the metro stop where one of the explosions struck during the morning rush hour on March 22, 2016, when coordinated attacks on Zaventem airport and the city’s underground network brought the Belgian capital to a halt.

Thirty-two people were killed and more than 300 injured in the attacks, which were later linked to the same jihadist network that was behind the 2015 Paris attacks. Many of the victims were commuters, EU employees, and travellers caught in the blasts as they made their way to work.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday welcomed the resignation of Joe Kent, now the former director of the National Counterterrorism Center, criticizing his stance on Iran and calling his departure “a good thing.”

Speaking at a press conference, Trump said Kent was “very weak on security” and took issue with Kent’s reported view that Iran did not pose a significant threat.

“Iran was a threat. Every country realized what a threat Iran was,” Trump said, adding that the real disagreement among nations was whether to take action.

Kent’s abrupt resignation comes amid escalating tensions over U.S. policy toward Iran. According to officials familiar with the matter, Kent had opposed aspects of the administration’s approach to the conflict, particularly assessments that described Iran as an immediate and pressing danger.

Nigeria’s president described attacks in the northeast’s most heavily defended city as “the final desperate” acts of militants trying to spread fear. Many experts say the opposite is true, that the blasts were a sign of strength not weakness.

An ?assault on Maiduguri by coordinated suicide bombers points to state intelligence failures and the capacity of Islamist militants to hit urban areas despite waves of government operations against ?them, they said.

It is still not clear which of Nigeria’s militant groups carried out the attack, underscoring the complexity of a sprawling 17-year insurgency that has killed tens of thousands of people and forced millions more from their homes.

As long as Islam exists, ‘jihadis’ will be a problem. It’s been that way for 1400 years, and there is no indication that it will change.

One of the greatest attributes of human beings is the ability of pattern recognition. Without that ability, you’re just a kind of stumbling around imbecile unable to learn anything from patterns you’ve seen before. So, luckily, sentient beings are able to recognize patterns, like for instance, endless terror attacks from one specific religion. Or the pattern of the slow-motion Islamization of much of Europe. Or the pattern of daycare fraud committed by Somalians. And if those sentient beings aren’t brainwashed by the ideology of diversity and multiculturalism, but rather are able to still comprehend stark reality, then they quite naturally say something to the effect of, “We recognize that pattern and don’t want that here.”

Even as Islamic terror attacks in America are becoming as routine as days of the week ending in “y,” Democrats are hurling the word “Islamophobia” as indiscriminately as Iran is lobbing missiles in every direction to create chaos.

In that vein, Democrat Senator Kirsten Gillibrand got herself all atwitter over an X post by Republican Senator Tommy Tuberville which contained juxtaposed pictures, one of the burning twin towers on 9/11 and the other of Zohran Mamdani sitting on the floor at a Ramadan iftar dinner purportedly inside city hall.

Since a picture, or two, is worth a thousand words, Tuberville’s tweet was linguistically parsimonious: “The enemy is inside the gates.”

Which is to say that after a mere quarter century, the same religion/ideology that took down the towers now inhabits the seat of government in our largest and most important American city. Tuberville’s short and sweet tweet suggests that’s not a good thing. Democrat sensibilities, however, are easily rubbed raw over such matters and Gillibrand’s response was: “This type of Islamophobia is disgraceful and unbecoming of a senator. Delete it immediately and apologize.”

Despite her command, as of this writing, no deletion or apology has been forthcoming.

Mamdani’s own response to Tuberville’s tweet, instead of being angry, was just passive-aggressively silly: “Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.”

Ah yes, breaking bread with New Yorkers! What could be more New York than sitting on the floor cross-legged eating fattoush, tabbouleh, samosas, pakoras, bamya, biryani, kabsa/machboos, mandi and Arabic biryani with chicken or lamb? And as for the hungry kids, were any invited to the iftar dinner?

The best response to Gillibrand’s post was this tweet from @davemarkowitz: “It’s not Islamaphobia [sic], it’s pattern recognition.”

I posted yesterday about a German ethnologist named Susanne Schröter and a study by the BKA (Bundeskriminalamt, the German federal investigative police agency) showing that almost half of young Muslims in Germany support “Islamism”, i.e. the full, devout expression of their religion.

The video below is a follow-up to yesterday’s translated article. Inge Bell is a German human rights activist, business consultant and entrepreneur, and in this clip she talks about the BKA study and the work of Dr. Schröter. She’s less timid in her terminology than the author of last night’s article, and doesn’t refer to “Islamism”. However, she still pulls her punches a bit by talking about “political Islam”, which is tougher, but still tiptoes around the ghastly truth.

It’s very difficult for people to refer to what menaces us as simply “Islam”. To identify Islam without any obfuscating modifiers as the source of what threatens us — to say that Islamic doctrine commands that we unbelievers must be killed or enslaved — is to risk losing one’s job, or being cancelled, or, in certain jurisdictions, even being prosecuted for “hate speech”.

Additionally, it’s devastating to one’s inner equilibrium to realize that the entirety of Islam — however many billions of people the Muslims claim to have nowadays — is a mortal danger to us. It’s a horrible fact to contemplate, as I know from my own experience. I would really have preferred to combat “Islamism”, or “radical Islam”, or “political Islam”, rather than Islam itself. Unfortunately, once you see the reality of it, there’s no going back.

Back in 2007, when confronted with the phrase “moderate Islam”, Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan famously responded: “These descriptions are very ugly, it is offensive and an insult to our religion. There is no moderate or immoderate Islam. Islam is Islam and that’s it.”

The following report cites a study showing German Muslims’ growing support for “Islamism”. Young “radicals” are increasingly following “Islamist interpretations of Islam”.

For those of us who don’t subscribe to the artificial “Islam/Islamism” dichotomy, what the study seems to have measured is the tendency of young Muslim culture-enrichers in Germany to study the core scriptures of their religion and practice the prescribed behaviors as decreed by Allah and revealed to his messenger Mohammed. They learn that Allah has commanded them to wage jihad against the non-believers until the infidels submit to Islam or are killed. If a soldier of Allah is killed during his jihad, he is rewarded with all the perquisites of Paradise, including the well-known 72 virgins.

Such is “Islamism”, which is indistinguishable from Islam. The “Islamist” is simply acting in accord with the central tenets of his religion.

On X (formerly Twitter) there has been some exchanges between Professor Gad Saad and Ambassador Richard Grenell. Saad has authored several books and his latest, Suicidal Empathy: Dying to be Kind, is scheduled for release May 12, 2026. Saad’s experience as a Lebanese Jew whose family narrowly escaped Islamic violence shapes his understanding of Islam. His studies have helped him understand how the West is an enabler and may well fall as a result. Grenell has pushed back on some of Saad’s posts decrying painting all practitioners of Islam as a threat. Grenell also emphasizes the First Amendment protections for beliefs and peaceful practice.

As I followed this exchange I saw a truth in both viewpoints. As a firm believe in the First Amendment (and all civil rights recognized by our Constitution) I struggle with how America battles Islam within a constitutional framework. Can it be done? I don’t know, but maybe this reframing of the issue is a start:

Islam is a violent/invasive political movement that uses its non-violent practitioners as “human shields” to invoke First Amendment protections for its persistent and embedded civil rights violations.

Recall that the First Amendment isn’t limited to religious belief and practice. It also includes political beliefs as well. That is why the Communist Party was never illegal, and a belief in Communism was never outlawed. What is outlawed is advocating the violent overthrow of the United States (but see discussion of Brandenburg v Ohio below). American history is littered with small communist organizations — communes — that came into and out of existence as the ultimate un-sustainability of its structure asserted itself.

This is quite a remarkable development. Someone in the Toronto airport captured video of Iranian Cleric Hojjatoleslam Morteza Tayebi arriving in Canada yesterday [Video Here]. As the story is told, apparently 700+ members of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), who carry out regime terrorism, reside or have dual citizenship in Canada. [HERE]

“The individual observed in the Pearson Toronto Airport videos, carrying a suitcase while dressed in clerical attire, is Hojatoleslam Morteza Taieb. According to some reports, he holds residency or citizenship in Canada and travels between Iran and this country.” {Source}

Canadian Member of Parliament Melissa Lantsman has been trying to draw attention to the issue for several years, claiming the IRGC is carrying out domestic terrorism in Canada while supporting the activity of the Iranian government.

I first read this book in February of 2013 and read it again in 2015 in the face of attempts by Muslims, media, Obama and others to claim that “Islamic terrorism is not Islamic” after Paris. Probably time to bring it out again to at least skim my highlights.

Such claims fly directly in the face of history, the Koran, Islamic tradition, and numerous events and discussions, including the response to Pope Benedict’s Regensburg lecture covered in this book, which I consider to be extremely important for the trinity of faith, reason, and truth in our time — both relative to Islam and secular attacks on that holy trinity of meaning.

The proximate reason that the political left and Islam reacted to the speech was Benedict’s use of a quote from a 14th century dialogue between Byzantine Christian emperor Manuel II Paleologus and a Persian scholar relative to violence in Islam which reads:

“Show me just what Muhammad brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached,”

Calls for “bleed kits” to be rolled out across London’s bus network have gained traction, with the London Assembly unanimously backing a motion to install them in major bus stations and trial them on high-risk routes.

These kits, designed to stem severe bleeding from deep wounds, are pitched as a lifesaver in emergencies—yet their sudden necessity speaks volumes about the city’s descent into chaos under unchecked policies.

The push comes from the London Youth Assembly, highlighting how young people feel increasingly unsafe on public transport.

Two decades ago, the phrase “Dearbornistan” became common among conservative bloggers during the Global War on Terror, because of the notorious cluster of Islamic radicals in the Detroit surburb of Dearborn

As soon as I heard about Thursday’s attack on a synagogue in West Bloomfield — before anything had been reported about the suspect’s identity — I checked to see how far the synagogue was from Dearborn. It’s about 20 miles, but the distance is a bit shorter to Dearborn Heights, which is six miles west of Dearborn itself. Both communities are part of Michigan’s 12th Congressional District, which sends Democratic “Squad” member Rep. Rashida Tlaib to Congress.

Court documents show less than two years after Mohamed Bailor Jalloh was released from prison for attempting to aid the Islamic State group, he opened fire in a classroom at Virginia’s Old Dominion University on Thursday before ROTC students subdued and killed him.

The shooting that left one person dead and two others injured has raised questions about why Jalloh, who the FBI identified as the gunman, was imprisoned and the conditions of his release — with some elected officials questioning how someone with known ties to the Islamic State group was able to carry out such an attack.

“The horrific tragedy that occurred today on ODU’s campus never should have happened,” Rep. Jen Kiggans, who represents the congressional district neighboring the university, wrote on Facebook.
