Washington is now accusing China of getting in bed with the Iran-backed Shia Houthis of Yemen, who have long waged a war against Red Sea shipping, including attacks on US warships and Israel.

The US State Department on Thursday issued allegations centered on Chinese firm, Chang Guang Satellite Technology, saying it is directly supporting attacks by Houthi fighters against American interests. This firm is well-known to be close to the CCP government, and is already under Western sanctions.

The U.S. military says it has destroyed the Houthi-controlled port of Ras Isa in Yemen to prevent the group from benefiting from the movement of various kinds of fuel through its facilities.

U.S. Central Command issued a statement declaring the “destruction” of Ras Isa (also sometimes written Ras Issa) earlier today, which did not provide details about the scale and scope of the strikes on the port. At the time of writing, American authorities do not appear to have released any imagery from the operation. This looks to be the first time the U.S. military has publicized the destruction of a major facility in Yemen.

A former Federal Aviation Administration contractor pleaded guilty on Wednesday to acting as a secret agent for Iran, supplying Tehran with sensitive U.S. aviation and energy data over a seven-year span.

Abouzar Rahmati, a 42-year-old naturalized U.S. citizen, admitted in federal court to conspiring to act and acting as an agent of the Iranian government while working as an FAA contractor in the United States. The Department of Justice said Rahmati passed non-public data about the U.S. aviation sector and solar energy industry to Iranian intelligence officials from at least December 2017 through June 2024.

French authorities are investigating a wave of violent attacks targeting prison staff across the country, with cars torched and threats escalating outside prison walls. On Wednesday, three vehicles were set on fire in Tarascon, including one belonging to a prison guard. In a separate incident, a guard’s car was burned outside his home near Aix-en-Provence.

The attacks follow similar incidents since Sunday, including gunfire at a prison entrance and graffiti with the acronym “DDPF”—a group claiming to defend prisoners’ rights. A video shared on Telegram, later deleted, showed a guard and a burning car, fueling alarm.

Justice Minister Gérald Darmanin blamed drug networks, saying, “Clearly people are trying to destabilise the state by intimidating it.”

Union officials warned that the violence is spreading beyond prison walls. “Threats and intimidation inside prisons are part of the daily grind,” said Wilfried Fonck of UFAP UNSA. “But that this is now happening outside is worrying.”

In the Swiss resort of Interlaken, Muslim women visiting from the Middle East are increasingly using surgical masks to circumvent Switzerland’s face-covering ban, in effect since January 2025. While traditional coverings such as the niqab are prohibited, hygiene masks are not considered a violation.

Emad Boutrous, who runs an Arabic-speaking travel agency, told SRF the masks are “a good compromise” for many visitors. Most are aware of the ban, he says, and for those who are not, he recommends purchasing a mask from a nearby pharmacy.

Local authorities appear unbothered. Interlaken’s liberal mayor, Philippe Ritschard, noted, “People are inventive,” and suggested the police should take a lenient approach.

Police spokesperson Sarah Wahlen confirmed they have little room for manoeuvre: “We don’t know if someone is genuinely ill,” she said.

Despite the legal restrictions, tourism officials report no complaints, and strong booking numbers from the Arab world remain unaffected.

Four Syrian suspects were arrested in the German city of Hamburg and reportedly charged with attempted grievous bodily harm resulting in death, earlier this week. The suspected perpetrators, aged 16 to 20, entered an eighth-floor apartment while wielding machetes and attacked a group of young Iraqis there.

While it remains unclear whether the deceased—an Iraqi national—was pushed from the height or fell while escaping, it adds to a long list of problems associated with the high-rise complex on Soltauer Ring. Police are still trying to establish a motive for the attack, describing the three other Iraqi survivors as “uninjured.”

The European Union is preparing to provide €10 million in funding for a scientific research project aimed at highlighting the contribution of the Quran and the Muslim religion to European civilisation. The influence of the Muslim Brotherhood is evident behind this undertaking.

The objective of this programme, entitled ‘The European Qur’an,’ the idea of which was launched six years ago and which is due to last until 2026, is to “challenge traditional perceptions of the Qur’anic text and well-established ideas about European religious and cultural identities” through travelling exhibitions, conferences, and book publications. The starting point of the project’s initiators is that the influence of Islam on European culture is greatly underestimated. “Our project is built on the conviction that the Qur’an has played an important role in the formation of medieval and early modern European religious diversity and identity and continues to do so,” reads the website homepage. The project aims to cover a chronological span of seven hundred years, from 1150 to 1850, from the Iberian Peninsula to Hungary.

All of this could be part of a field of scientific research (almost) like any other, if a clearly militant design were not at work in the background, as revealed by an investigation conducted by the French conservative newspaper Le Journal du Dimanche: several academics involved in the process are notoriously close to the Muslim Brotherhood.

Harvard Law School published a blog post from one of the students facing criminal charges for assaulting an Israeli classmate. The post, from former Harvard Law Review editor Ibrahim Bharmal, features Bharmal’s praise for something called the “Crimmigration Clinic,” a law school course in which students work on federal immigration cases. He does not mention that he is facing criminal charges connected to the assault, which was captured on video.

In the post, titled, “Crimmigration lawyering: Advocating for immigrants caught in two unjust systems,” Bharmal touts the “close-knit immigrant and Muslim community” he grew up in in Southern California, indicating that it taught him “that our legal systems and institutions do not distribute justice evenly.” He also wrote of his “future” as an attorney, saying, “I know who I want to advocate for. I know the kind of law I want to practice. And I know, without a doubt, that this clarity will be the foundation of a long, committed career in service to immigrants and the fight for justice.”

Bharmal’s criminal case could also impact that future. Along with Harvard divinity school graduate student Elom-Tettey Tamaklo, Bharmal was charged last May with misdemeanor assault in connection with his behavior at a “die-in” protest that took place shortly after Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack. Bharmal and Tettey-Tamaklo were captured on camera accosting an Israeli business school student, surrounding him and making it difficult for him to walk freely as keffiyeh-clad onlookers shouted, “SHAME!”

A 44-year-old man with extremist jihadist ties was sentenced to 30 months in prison by the Bruges court on Monday, April 14th, for preparing a terrorist attack and participating in the activities of the Islamic State (IS).

The man was scouting the area where the popular rock band Rammstein would perform. He was reportedly also searching the internet for “the most lethal firearm possible” and other weapons. Police recovered conversations between the man and his acquaintances discussing a “perfect moment” to attack—referring to the Rammstein concert in Ostend, where an estimated 50,000 fans would be present.

Overwhelming amounts of evidence tied the man to the Islamic State. He had contact with at least 16 other jihadists, saved over 100,000 extremist images, and declared his connection to the terrorist group in his personal messages by saying, “I want to fight for the Islamic State, my brother.”

The court system judged the man as low risk, meaning he gets to keep his job and support from his family, and is mandated to get psychological help from a professional. “He has a weak self-image and takes his cues from people with extreme views,” the verdict states. “He is impressionable and lacks introspective skills.”

ICE officials detained a Columbia University graduate student who led a coalition of anti-Israel groups and endorsed the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attack.

Mohsen Mahdawi had his green card revoked by the Trump administration and was taken into custody on Monday in Burlington, Vt., where he was scheduled to take a citizenship test. Mahdawi’s attorney told the Intercept that Mahdawi was detained for his “Palestinian identity” and that he had come “to this country hoping to be free to speak about the atrocities he has witnessed.”

But Mahdawi, a graduate philosophy student in Columbia’s School of General Studies, has also said he “can empathize” with Hamas over the terrorist group’s Oct. 7 slaughter and has publicly called for the destruction of Israel. Last year, he honored a commander in the Al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigade, a U.S.-designated terror group that participated in the attack alongside Hamas.

It’s about time that the government took Muslim terrorists–and their supporters–seriously.

The ongoing crisis between France and Algeria has taken a new turn with the request made by Algiers for 12 members of the French embassy staff to leave Algiers within 48 hours.

While the minister for foreign affairs Jean-Noël Barrot was in Algiers on April, 6th, to try to maintain dialogue with the Algerian government in the context of a serious diplomatic crisis, Algeria on Sunday, April 13th, announced its intention to expel 12 people employed by the ministry of the interior from Algeria within 48 hours.

This is a retaliatory measure by the Algerian authorities following the indictment in France on Friday, April 11th, of three men suspected of being agents of the Algerian government and of having intervened just a year ago on French soil to kidnap a certain Amir DZ.

These are serious charges and testify to the casualness and sense of impunity with which the Algerian government behaves in France, even when dealing with its own affairs.

Unidentified attackers have killed nearly 50 people in Nigeria’s Plateau state in further conflict in a religiously mixed region. The night-time attack hit the villages of Zike and Kimakpa in the Bassa local government area—known for intercommunal conflict and deadly land disputes—on Sunday, April 13th.

Two weeks earlier, armed men struck multiple villages in the Bokkos area, also in the state, killing 48. The attack occurred some 25 km away from the Plateau state capital, Jos. Last week, army troops recovered the headless corpse of a 16-year Fulani herder in the Bassa area, whose cattle were also stolen.

Fifty years after Turkey’s invasion and occupation of 36% of Cyprus, the systematic Islamization of the island’s northern part has become increasingly evident. This transformation is not incidental but a calculated initiative by Ankara, aligning with its broader neo-Ottoman ambitions. The steady shift toward political Islam in northern Cyprus carries profound implications for regional stability, European security, and the preservation of cultural heritage.

The 1974 Turkish invasion of Cyprus, widely condemned as unlawful by the international community, forcibly displaced nearly 200,000 Greek Cypriots and led to the systematic erasure of Greek cultural heritage in the north. Greek street names, monuments, and place names were replaced with Turkish equivalents. Over 520 Greek Orthodox churches and cemeteries were desecrated or looted, and more than 23,000 Byzantine icons were either destroyed or stolen—an act UNESCO has described as an “institutionalized erasure” of Christian heritage.

Simultaneously, Turkey has facilitated illegal settlements from mainland Anatolia, significantly altering the region’s demographics. This population transfer, in violation of Article 49 of the Geneva Convention, has transformed northern Cyprus from a predominantly secular society into one increasingly influenced by Islamist ideology.

An Iraqi culture-enricher caused significant damage and bodily harm earlier today at a police station in the Portuguese city of Braga. The mixed-up youth stabbed and almost killed a police officer, who was the same officer who had received the migrant’s asylum application. The youngster was evidently enraged because his application had not yet been approved, and reacted by attempting to kill the policeman. Which was understandable, given the racism, xenophobia, and Islamophobia of the native Portuguese who had so callously discriminated against him.

A Moroccan culture-enricher who was already in a Spanish prison is going to have his sentence extended because he decided to take up jihad while he was in the slammer. Like so many confused migrant youngsters, he did not understand that his host country did not approve of one of his cherished traditional cultural practices, namely the slaughter of infidels in the name of Allah.

The article below asserts that he was self-radicalized while he was in prison. It doesn’t identify any specific ideology, so I guess he was just, well, radicalized — you know, in a general sense. Like catching the flu or something similar.

Sweden has seen massive demographic changes over the last 25 years, and this is not only reflected in the demographic composition, but also the religious composition of the country.

The center of world terrorist activity and violent death is no longer the Middle East. The “Sahel region of Africa is now the ‘epicentre of global terrorism,'” responsible for “over half of all terrorism-related deaths” worldwide, according to the respected Global Terrorism Index.

The sub-Saharan Sahel is largely unknown to much of the world. It can be described as the large, mostly flat, strip, nearly 600 miles wide, located between the savannahs of Sudan to the south and the Sahara desert to the north.

During the last ten years or so, according to the Royal United Services Institute, the world’s oldest defense and security think tank, headquartered in London, the Sahel has undergone a “significant surge in jihadist violence. Armed actors take advantage of porous borders, fragile states, and local grievances to extend their operational reach,”

Sweden has seen a significant rise in the number of mosques over the past few decades, with estimates suggesting a 4,200% increase in less than 25 years, according to Samnytt. Meanwhile, membership in the Swedish Lutheran Church, once the state church, has dropped below 50% of the population.

Exact figures on mosques are uncertain due to the lack of official data. The Swedish Agency for Support to Religious Communities (SST) estimates there are around 300 mosques today, up from just seven “permanent prayer places” in 2000. However, since mosques are not required to register with the state and many operate in informal spaces like storefronts or basements, the true number could be higher. There is also little public information on their financing or the content of their teachings.

Funding for mosque construction comes from both domestic and international sources. The SST allocates millions of kronor yearly to Muslim organizations, which distribute funds to local congregations. Additionally, countries such as Saudi Arabia, Iran, Qatar, and Turkey have contributed to or fully financed mosque projects. In 2017, the leftist outlet ETC reported that one in four mosques in Sweden was built with Saudi funding.

Some mosques have faced scrutiny. The Saudi-financed Gothenburg mosque has been criticized for sharing misogynistic content, while Stockholm’s Imam Ali mosque, linked to Iran, has hosted speakers promoting martyrdom and sacrifice for Islam. Despite these concerns, no comprehensive study of mosque financing or activities has been undertaken.

Swedish authorities, including the Security Services (SÄPO) and the Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB), have warned that foreign states may use mosques to exert geopolitical and religious influence. Critics argue this lack of oversight is a growing issue.

According to a 2017 Pew Research Center report, 8.1% of Sweden’s population was Muslim, a figure surpassed only by France (8.8%) and Bulgaria (11.1%) in Europe. Some projections suggest that by 2050, Muslims could make up over 30% of Sweden’s population.

A terrorist attack was foiled earlier this week in northern France, involving a 19-year-old man who claimed to be acting on behalf of Daesh—the Islamic State. No fewer than six attacks have been foiled in recent months. For the minister of the interior, the real danger today is no longer an external attack but the actions of a fringe of radicalised French youth.

Morad M. was arrested by the police in a social centre in Dunkirk on the morning of Wednesday, April 2nd, following a tip-off. The young man, a French citizen and unemployed, was known for drug trafficking. Investigators found a letter of allegiance to Daesh at his home. He admitted wanting to commit an attack with an explosive belt in the city of Dunkirk, targeting café terraces and places frequented by the Jewish community, to do “like the Bataclan.” He said he was motivated by “the state of France.” The managers of the centre where he had been living for three years had been alerted by his gradual radicalisation. Two other men he knew were arrested with him; one of them was imprisoned for “criminal association with terrorists.”

Speaking to the media following this case, Minister of the Interior Bruno Retailleau expressed his concern about the scale of the terrorist threat that France is facing today. 80% of investigations conducted by the National Anti-Terrorist Prosecutor’s Office concern jihadist attacks.

The year was 1992. The Clinton administration was trying to get Israeli Prime Minister Rabin to sign on the dotted line of the peace process to create a’ ‘Palestinian’ state, but Hamas terrorists wouldn’t stop killing Israelis.

15-year-old Helena Rapp was stabbed to death at a bus stop on the way to school. Several days later, Rabbi Shimon Biran, a father of four, was murdered by an Islamic terrorist.

Fed up with the latest killings, Prime Minister Rabin put 417 Islamists terrorists, including top Hamas leaders, on buses and dumped them in Lebanon.

On the six buses were Hamas leader Ismael Haniyeh, Hamas co-founder Abdel Aziz al-Rantisi, who would vow, “by Allah, we will not leave one Jew in Palestine”, Abu Osama, who helped draft the Hamas charter calling for the extermination of the Jews, Hamas co-founders Mohammed Taha, Hammad Al-Hasanat, and Mahmoud Zahar, who threatened “They have legitimized the killing of their people all over the world by killing our people”, Hamad Al-Bitawi, who proclaimed that “Jihad is a collective duty” along with Abdullah al-Shami, the head of Islamic Jihad, and many other present and future Islamic terror leaders deported to Lebanon.

Even the secretary general of the Muslim World League (MWL) thinks young British Muslims are becoming a “national security risk.” Former Saudi justice minister, Sheikh Dr Muhammad bin Abdulkarim al-Issa, says he would prefer it if British citizens of all faiths (and none, presumably) could focus on domestic issues.

With half of all British Muslims aged under 25, such youth claim they are growing more disillusioned and alienated—as a result of UK foreign policy in the Middle East. Specifically, it seems that ‘Gaza’, i.e. code for Israel, is being blamed for the failure of multiculturalism.

The comments follow a survey of 5,000 people, including more than 450 Muslims. Almost two-thirds of the Muslims asked said their relationship with non-Muslims is “positive” or “mostly positive”, while less than a quarter of non-Muslims saw the relationship the same way. Younger Muslims also reported viewing Britain as ‘less tolerant’ than did older generations. According to Dr. al-Issa, the solution is increased Muslim involvement in domestic politics—a process not without its critics.

The following reports and videos concern a recently-established Islamic community in Collin County, Texas that aims to become the sharia capital of America, a new, fully-Islamized version of the USA — the United Emirates of America, perhaps?

The East Plano Islamic Center (EPIC) is expanding in furtherance of a comprehensive plan, with some ominous overtones — for example, a compound-like building next door to the Plano police academy, overlooking a restricted-access parking lot and tactical mustering area. There is much about this plan that should make non-Muslims nervous.

The testimony of retired police Lieutenant Douglas Deaton at a meeting in Collin County discusses these issues and others related to the new EPIC city. I have only one quibble: Lt. Deaton said: “This is not about race. It’s not about religion. It’s about governance. It’s about sovereignty [emphasis added].” The problem with Islam — which few people in the West seem to understand — is that religion and governance are one and the same from an Islamic perspective. There is no separation between mosque and state — the concept is alien to Islam. As Muslims frequently tell the infidels, “Islam will dominate.” And when it does, it will govern. Islamic law — sharia — will be the law of the land. There will be no other source of law. Secular governance will no longer exist. Everyone will live in an Islamic paradise.

But that’s a minor quibble. Lt. Deaton gave an excellent presentation in the very brief time allotted to him. I couldn’t have done nearly as well.

You will notice no other ethnic or religious group attempting this sort of us-alone trick. The Irish don’t do it. Italians don’t do it. Poles don’t do it. Russians don’t do it. Catholics don’t do it. Episcopalians don’t do it. Buddhists don’t do it.

The reason it’s a problem is that Islam is an existential threat to Western Civilization in general (which the European Union are having their noses rubbed in every day) and the United States in particular. Immigrants historically have gradually assimilated into the general American culture while maintaining their unique traditions and contributing to the ‘melting pot’ — except Muslims, who attempt to establish Islam and shari’a law wherever they go. It’s all in the Koran. Go and read it.

Murals honoring Hamas and Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine terrorists were featured Saturday at a protest that American Muslims for Palestine, a group recently accused of serving as Hamas’s “propaganda arm in New York City,” helped organize.

Several Hamas flags, including one depicting a militant of the terror group, were also spotted among the crowd of thousands of protesters, many of whom bused in from across the country. Speakers included Council on American-Islamic Relations executive director Nihad Awad, who once said he was “happy to see” Hamas attack Israel, notorious anti-Semite Linda Sarsour, and Grant Miner, the Columbia University graduate student expelled for storming a campus building.

A celebration in Turin of the Islamic festival of Eid Al Fitr descended into chaos as the Muslim community celebrated the end of Ramadan at Parco Dora on Sunday, March 30th. From here, an unauthorised march began, condemning Israel, Italy and the European Union. Firecrackers were thrown, targeting the local migrant detention centre. In the absence of effigies, official portrait photos of President Giorgia Meloni were torched.

All of them ought to be identified and deported back where they came from.

“Eid Mubarak! To all the women of Turin and to all the Muslims of Turin, my best wishes on this day of celebration”, was what centre-left Democratic Party Mayor Stefano Lo Russo told the crowd from a stage in the park. After the disorder, Galeazzo Bignami, leader of the Fratelli d’Italia group in the Chamber of Deputies, noted that “unfortunately we are forced to condemn the umpteenth round of intimidation against Giorgia Meloni, whose images are once again set on fire and destroyed.”

The eruption of anti-Hamas protests in Gaza is not merely an internal Palestinian power struggle; it represents an ideological reckoning. As Gaza’s citizens courageously defy Hamas rule and protest for an end to the war and the end of Hamas rule in Gaza, Palestinians in Gaza are having to reckon with the same forces that have caused chaos and destruction across the wider Middle East for many decades.

In December 2024, the Al-Qaeda offshoot Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), which has controlled much of Syria’s Idlib province for nearly ten years, led a coalition of rebel forces who captured Damascus, ending the Assad family’s five-decade rule and a brutal civil war that claimed 600,000 lives and displaced over half of Syria’s population.

Many Westerners, including myself, tried to hold out hope that the interim government led by HTS leader Ahmed Al-Sharaa would rebuild Syria as a normal and peaceful country after the fall of the Bashar al-Assad regime. But since then entire families of Alawites have been killed in areas such as Latakia, Tartus, and Hama governorates. While these killings have been variously attributed to supporters of Syria’s interim authorities and to former government elements, reports indicate that, in the latest wave of violence, HTS fighters and other extremist factions carried out mass executions, kidnappings, and ethnic cleansing against Alawite civilians in areas near the front lines.

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. Whether our Ruling Class will continue prating how ‘peaceful’ Muslims are while ignoring the mass murder, or whether they will wake up and decide to do something about it, is an exercise left for the reader. (Exercise that doesn’t raise a sweat–my favorite kind.)

Well, you know what Muslim promises are worth.

The Palestinian Authority made another round of “pay for slay” payments to the families of terrorists on Tuesday, according to the PA’s official newspaper, marking at least the second time it has done so since its leader, Mahmoud Abbas, issued a decree purportedly ending the practice.

The PA distributed the funds to “28 families of Martyrs and 10 families of prisoners” affiliated with its security forces in Jenin, the PA’s daily newspaper, Al-Hayat al-Jadida, wrote on Wednesday, according to a translation provided by watchdog group Palestinian Media Watch.

The paper quoted the director of the PA’s intelligence service in Jenin, Adnan Abu Aisheh, who said the payments were made “based on what President of the State of Palestine Mahmoud Abbas has emphasized again and again—[which] is that if we are left with one penny, it will be paid to the families of the Martyrs and the prisoners.”

The trial of Mounir Boutaa has just opened in Bordeaux. This man is accused of killing his wife Chahinez Daoud in 2021 after abusing and beating her, dousing her with petrol, and burning her alive.

He took responsibility for his actions in advance: “At least his honour would be cleared and in prison, he would be seen as a man, whereas now he would be seen as a faggot,” a friend of Chahinez explained Boutaa’s reasoning.

The death of the 31-year-old woman came after a long series of complaints and alerts that went unheeded by police and courts. For some, it is an ‘archetypal femicide.’ But few voices are willing to denounce this atrocious crime as the result of an immigration from alien culture that France—and Europe—is utterly unprepared for and incapable of handling.

French institutions, mirroring a broader issue across Western Europe, have embraced multiculturalism and mass migration while failing to ensure that migrants integrate and uphold Western European values—leading to this all too familiar tragedy.

In a new video released by state media, two Iranian military leaders responsible for the country’s weapons programs are seen riding through a long, weapons-packed tunnel. Set to ominous music, the 85-second video was published amid growing regional tensions and infers that Iran can withstand an attack and deliver a response. But the video that is made to show off Iranian standoff attack capabilities also highlights a major vulnerability.

As they drive through the facility, Maj. Gen. Mohammad Hossein Bagheri, chief of staff of Iran’s Armed Forces and Amir Ali Hajizadeh, Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Aerospace Force (IRGC-AF) commander, show off some of Iran’s most advanced missiles and rockets. There are Kheybar Shekans, Ghadr-Hs, Sejjils, and Haj Qassems, as well as the Paveh Land Attack Cruise Missiles. Iran used several of these weapons in an attack on Israel last fall.

As for that aforementioned glaring vulnerability, the munitions are stored out in the open in long continuous tunnels and large caverns with no, or at least limited, blast doors or separated revetments. That could result in devastating consequences should the facility be breached in an attack. The lack of these protective measures could lead to an absolutely massive chain reaction of secondary explosions. This is an interesting revelation because other Iranian underground weapons caverns, especially those that can launch missiles through apertures in the surface, do appear to have these measures, as least to some degree.

There was another snapshot moment over the weekend of the persecution of Jews in Europe when a French rabbi was attacked in broad daylight while returning home from synagogue with his nine-year-old son.

Orléans rabbi Arié Engelberg was allegedly hit on the head, bitten and verbally insulted—including in Arabic—in the city centre on Saturday. A 16-year-old suspect has been arrested, and is understood to be known under at least three identities—one Moroccan and two Palestinian.

According to Engelberg’s account, the attacker asked if he was Jewish before launching his attack. People nearby stepped in when the altercation—which the suspect was keen to have on film—became physical.

An 85-year-old Israeli man was killed in a terror attack in northern Israel that also injured his son and a soldier.

The attack occurred on Monday morning, southeast of Haifa and comes a month after an earlier string of attacks in the country, and the first since fighting restarted in Gaza following a two-month ceasefire. A man drove into a bus stop, injuring an Israeli soldier, then got out of the car, stabbed the soldier, stole his gun and then ran down the highway opening fire, killing the octogenarian man and his son.

The victim was named as Moshe Horan from the nearby Kibbutz Hazorea. A kibbutz spokesperson said Haran’s life was “woven into” the kibbutz, where he was a “pillar” of the community.

The attacker was identified as an Israeli Arab from the nearby city of Maale Iron. He was shot by Israeli border police on the scene.

The U.S. government alleged that Columbia University student and pro-Palestinian demonstrator Mahmoud Khalil withheld that he worked for a United Nations Palestinian relief agency in his visa application, saying that should be grounds for deportation.

The U.N. agency known as UNRWA provides food and healthcare to Palestinian refugees and has become a flashpoint in the Israeli war in Gaza. Israel contends that 12 UNRWA employees were involved in Hamas’ attack on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, leading the U.S. to halt funding of the group.

The administration of President Donald Trump on March 8 detained Khalil, a prominent figure in the pro-Palestinian campus protests that rocked the New York City campus last year, and sent him to Louisiana in an attempt to remove him from the country.

Muslim Americans in Public Service is a Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit that coordinates with federal agencies to help Muslims obtain and advance careers in government. To do so, it partners with Islamic organizations, including the Council on American-Islamic Relations, that have either condoned terror attacks or have been linked to terrorist organizations.

In addition to CAIR, the nonprofit known as MAPS touts the U.S. Council of Muslim Organizations as one of its partners and the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) and Helping Hand for Relief and Development as two of its sponsors. MAPS has worked with CAIR to host events that bring together MAPS members “across all levels and branches of government.” And while it does not disclose its donors, it says it receives “sizable in-kind donations” from its partners, as well as funding from “federal agencies,” nonprofits, and state commissions.

MAPS’s affiliation with those groups—all of which have praised or been linked to terrorist organizations—could raise concerns about its efforts to place employees inside the federal bureaucracy. While it’s unlikely MAPS will have success placing political appointees in the Trump administration, which has opposed affinity groups that support DEI initiatives in federal agencies and is staunchly at odds with MAPS’s criticism of Israel, the group’s top members include some career officials entrenched in the federal government.

The Trump administration is mulling plans to sanction the international funders behind pro-Hamas protests, including prominent Qatari nationals who have vast financial holdings inside the United States, current and former U.S. officials familiar with the internal discussions told the Washington Free Beacon.

The effort seeks to build upon President Donald Trump’s January executive order authorizing the deportation of foreign students engaged in often illegal anti-Semitic demonstrations on college campuses across the country. Instead of targeting the protests’ participants, it would target their funders. The administration could, for example, slap sanctions on foreign individuals who provide groups like Students for Justice in Palestine with significant funding. In cases where those individuals enjoy U.S. visas, it could revoke them.

European Union leaders fear that Islamic State (IS)-linked detainees being held in two Syrian camps might soon be freed and headed their way.

Senior figures are meeting tomorrow to discuss plans after U.S. president Donald Trump paused funding to the Kurdish-run Al Hol and Roj camps. These hold around 55,000 people, many of whom are the families of IS fighters.

One Brussels official told Politico that at the top of the agenda is ensuring “the terrorists don’t come to Europe”—something that could well happen if the funding gap is not plugged and control of the camps is handed to the new Syrian government, which has “difficulties controlling its territory.”

Amnesty International has pointed to the fact that many in these camps are women and children, and that some actually fled from IS. Almost 4,000 are also understood to be European nationals. Yet Brussels will resist America’s proposal to repatriate their nationals because, as one official put it,

The EU citizens there are not necessarily people member states will be rushing to welcome back in a disorganised manner.

Four Muslim men were convicted on Wednesday, March 19th for crimes committed during the horrific antisemitic attacks in Amsterdam in November last year.

The court was extremely lenient towards the perpetrators: the harshest sentence handed out was a 12-week stay in prison.

Three of the men were sentenced on charges of inciting violence in a WhatsApp messaging group, where they insulted Jews and shared information about the whereabouts of Israeli football supporters, who were in Amsterdam to see their club, Maccabi Tel Aviv play Ajax Amsterdam.

A fourth man was found guilty of committing violence in public, after chasing an Israeli supporter through the streets of Amsterdam.

As the court heard, participants in the WhatsApp group encouraged each other to “hunt down Jews.”

Today marks the moment, 63 years ago, that France finally ceded control of Algeria. But speak to many in both countries and the war might have finished yesterday, with tensions between Paris and Algiers now higher than they’ve been for years. Consider, among other things, France’s recent decision to re-examine the “special” pact of 1968 that made it easier for Algerians to settle in France, with the Quai d’Orsay also presenting its former colony with a list of nationals it wants to send back home. Algiers reacted indignantly — but Algerian terrorists have attacked several French citizens over recent years, while many French Arabs continue to fiercely resent the land they call home.

And if what Frantz Fanon called the “red-hot cannonballs and bloody knives” of decolonisation are as vicious as ever in politics and the banlieue, France’s bookshelves aren’t being spared either. One of the most vivid examples of recent times is A Counter-History of French Colonisation, a fusillade in paperback. Written by Driss Ghali, a novelist and essayist, and published in English late last year, it promises to provide “an antidote to the poison distilled in bad faith” by “apostles” of postcolonial thought, those who’ve distilled the complexities of French colonialism into a game of heroes and villains.

In a vivid riposte to these activists, Ghali says he can offer a fresh and “dispassionate” view of this still-urgent moment of history, arguing that it’s time to move on from 19 March and everything it stands for. It’s a position increasingly echoed across France and Algeria, a shift with potentially revolutionary consequences for the politics of both countries. All the same, we shouldn’t necessarily expect Paris and Algiers to bury the hatchet just yet, especially given the incentives Arab elites have to perpetuate hate — and the underlying tensions that endure right across France itself.

Before everything blew up, Algeria was legally a part of ‘metropolitan’ France, as much as Provence or Brittany. Losing Algeria was about like the U.S. losing Alaska.

Since al-Qaeda-affiliated Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) conquered Damascus with the help of Turkey in December 2024, HTS fighters and Turkish-backed Syrian National Army (SNA) militants have committed massacres against religious minorities in the country. Social media posts show Alawite or Christian men, women, and children barbarically shot at close range. And the death toll is increasing.

Imagine how peaceful the world would be if the Religion of Peace didn’t exist.

An imam in Catalonia didn’t pay his rent, so he was evicted. The local Islamic community didn’t take too kindly to that imposition, and set about protesting in their customary culture-enriching fashion: burning dumpsters, throwing rocks at the police, and barricading the streets.

Knives have become active again in France. There’s no telling when it will happen — the blades just come out of hiding and start attacking people. There’s nothing anyone can do to prevent it.

In this case, “Allahu Akhbar” is also involved, which is Arabic for “I am a mentally disturbed person known to police.”

Michael Copeland’s compendium is a reminder that Islam is not a religion, but a demonic system.

I have always maintained that Islam is an oppressive totalitarian ideology, masquerading as a religion, with which no co-existence is possible. It represents an existential threat to fundamental principles of Western civilization, and has for 1400 years.

The hardline Sunni Islamist Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) took over Syria, with the backing of external powers like NATO-member Turkey, and likely backing of Western countries such as the United States.

On Wednesday HTS leader and self-declared President Ahmed al-Sharaa (formerly Abu Mohammad al-Jolani: his ISIS/AQ name) signed a new declaration of an interim constitution.

A committee of HTS appointees produced it (or at least a partial draft) in a committee, and it clearly makes Islamic or Sharia Law the new law of the land.

It ought not to be necessary to point out that, under Sharia law, Jews and Christians are about the same status as black people under the Jim Crow laws.

French police arrested and charged a teenager in connection with a planned terror campaign, the National Anti-Terrorism Prosecutor’s Office (PNAT) has confirmed.

The 17-year-old from Vesoul in Haute-Saône has been held since Thursday, March 13th. He is under investigation for “participation in a criminal conspiracy with a view to preparing one or more crimes of attack.”

After the boy was arrested for carrying a knife in a public place close to his school, his social media output led the authorities to reclassify his activities as terror-related. The youth claimed to be a member of Daesh and flagged up several prospective targets during Ramadan, including a church, a synagogue, and official U.S. or Israeli premises. These violent intentions were also made clear from reading the suspect’s account on the encrypted messaging service Telegram, PNAT said.

Imagine how peaceful the world would be if the Religion of Peace didn’t exist.

Associated Press, a Voice of the Crust.

The U.S. and Israel have reached out to officials of three East African governments to discuss using their territories as potential destinations for resettling Palestinians uprooted from the Gaza Strip under President Donald Trump’s proposed postwar plan, American and Israeli officials told The Associated Press.

The contacts with Sudan, Somalia and the breakaway region of Somalia known as Somaliland reflect the determination by the U.S. and Israel to press ahead with a plan that has been widely condemned and raised serious legal and moral issues. Because all three places are poor, and in some cases wracked by violence, the proposal also casts doubt on Trump’s stated goal of resettling Gaza’s Palestinians in a “beautiful area.”

Officials from Sudan said they have rejected overtures from the U.S., while officials from Somalia and Somaliland told The Associated Press that they were not aware of any contacts.

What does it say when incubators of Muslim terrorism like Sudan and Somalia won’t take refugees from Gaza?

“Hey, we’re getting rid of a couple million Muslim terrorists from Gaza. You want ’em?”
“No thanks, we’re good.”

Pakistan is reeling after this week’s hijacking of the Jaffar Express by the terrorist-designated “Balochistan Liberation Army” (BLA). It’s impossible to independently confirm the details given strict state censorship, but around 400 people were taken hostage, including servicemen traveling home on leave. The BLA demanded the release of what they described as political prisoners, but the military staged a daring operation to end the day-long ordeal instead. At least two dozen people were killed.
