Prostitutes and undercover journalists in Sweden have claimed that Shia imams have charged Muslims for “weddings” with prostitutes as a means to circumvent Islamic rules on sex before marriage.
Imams across the country are said to have conducted sham “pleasure marriages” to allow Muslims to engage in sexual activity with prostitutes and then ended the marriages after the sexual activity was completed.
British workers are leading the world in refusing to return to the office, despite a push by ministers to kickstart the commuter economy in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
New figures show the UK now tops the table of nations where workers would rather quit or find a new job than return to the office five days a week.
Women are said to be the ones leading the so-called ‘flexidus’ of staff demanding a mixture of remote and in-office working, with 52 per cent admitting they have left or have considered leaving their jobs over a ‘lack of flexibility’.
American Islamists continue exaggerating the depth of violence in Hindu-majority India and pushing alarmist rhetoric about an impending genocide of Muslims.
“Germany 1932 is here and now in India,” warns an editorial in the May-June issue of Islamic Horizons. “It won’t matter to the latter’s 212 million Muslims when, years later, some sages clumsily whisper ‘never again’ and then snicker. And yet the U.S. State Department refused to categorize India as a ‘country of concern’ on its religious freedom list.” The editorial describes India’s democratically elected Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a reincarnation of Adolf Hitler.
The war on our Constitution – and its stand for unalienable rights – continues.
On Saturday of this past weekend, a deranged 18-year-old man in Buffalo opened fire in a grocery store, killing ten people. The killer is white, and most of his victims were black. So no surprise that Twitter, which has replaced newspapers as the “first draft of history,” immediately started attacking Tucker Carlson and conservatives in general for “radicalizing” the shooter and being “racists.” And of course, supporters of the Second Amendment came under fire for resisting “common sense” gun laws.
‘The mere mention of right-wing comedy provoked raised eyebrows and dropped jaws during our countless Zoom calls throughout the pandemic,’ write Matt Sienkiewicz and Nick Marx in their new book That’s Not Funny: How the Right Makes Comedy Work For Them. “We were, it seemed to many, playing with an obvious oxymoron.”
Sienkiewicz and Marx disagree, though. Their contention is that Right-wing humour is a force to be reckoned with. “Closing our eyes,” they write, “doesn’t make the monster go away.”
Diversity, the integration of people with widely diverging cultures, colors, and persuasions, is not always good. Nor is diversity always the best idea for a group or nation that wants to cohere in its traditions and remain functionally intact. It has become a glib aphorism, almost received scripture that “diversity is our strength,” but the reality does not bear that out, and I have seen no evidence that it is always true. Quite the contrary.
Sohrab Ahmari, the author of The Unbroken Thread, opines that when a population devoted to specific traditional ideals that emerge from their religious or ethnic heritage gets too diverse, that population fractures and loses cohesion. Introducing diverse foreign ideologies into a close-knit population can destroy it more easily than enhancing it. If a group of Mennonites or Amish, for example, were to encourage diversity of faith and practice, it would risk the disintegration of their unique culture.
Country by country, city by city, Europe is Islamizing.
“Molenbeek would love to be forgotten, because it is the very example of the failure of the multicultural society, which remains an untouchable dogma in Belgium”.
So writes in Le Figaro Alain Destexhe, former Belgian senator and general secretary of Doctors Without Borders. He talks about the case of Conner Rousseau, president of Vooruit, the Flemish socialist party, who has just told Humo magazine: “When I drive around Molenbeek, I don’t feel in Belgium”.Scandal and deluge of criticism, the harshest of the French-speaking socialist party “brother” of Rousseau: “Intolerable, stigmatizing and xenophobic observations”
It is obscene to say that Carlson inspired this act of racist barbarism.
Is Robin DiAngelo to blame for the Waukesha massacre? You remember that horror in Wisconsin in November last year, when a black man named Darrell Brooks ploughed his SUV into a Christmas parade, killing six white people. Brooks really hates white folk. He had written on social media about the scourge of ‘old white [people]’ and of his urge to ‘knokk dem tf out’. Is this down to Ms DiAngelo, who has pumped out books and speeches on the problem with white people? All whites have racist tendencies, she says. ‘All white people are invested in and collude with the system of racism’, apparently. The white population ‘fundamentally hates blackness’, she argues. And this is a woman who is rarely off TV. Whose book was an NYT bestseller. So, she bears some responsibility for the anti-whiteness of Mr Brooks, right?
Sri Lanka went woke and now it’s gone broke with enough gasoline to last “for a single day.”
“The Ministry of Finance” of the Democratic Socialist Republic “is finding it difficult to raise $5 million required to import gas,” new President Ranil Wickremesinghe told his hungry and broke nation on Monday.
Canada’s military ombudsman is joining the chorus of those accusing the Canadian Armed Forces and Defence Department of having failed to address long-standing barriers to recruit and retain more women, visible minorities and Indigenous People.
Gregory Lick says in a new report that the military and department have adopted numerous initiatives over the last 20 years to increase the share of Armed Forces members who come from those underrepresented groups.
The moves follow several human-rights decisions and the passage of employment equity laws, amid a growing disconnect between the makeup of the military, predominantly composed of white males, and the rest of the country’s population.
Oh the horror! White males! You know, the ones who’ve done most of the fighting and dying throughout Canada’s history.
Congress may need to create incentives to get national security officials to talk.
As Congress prepares to hold the first public hearing on UFOs in half a century, the Pentagon and intelligence agencies are feuding internally over how much to cooperate with demands to investigate and share what they know, according to current and former national security officials.
Pentagon officials are under increasing pressure to carry out Congress’ recent mandate to establish a permanent effort to coordinate research into reports of highly advanced aircraft of unknown origin intruding into protected airspace.
Canadian special forces operated an aircraft equipped with surveillance equipment over protests in downtown Ottawa despite a military directive that was supposed to prohibit such activities.

According to Russian propaganda, Gorbachev and Yeltsin were CIA agents tasked with destroying the USSR.
This narrative, although debunked by the EU’s foreign affairs service, still holds in parts of Russian society; the last President of the USSR and the first President of Russia accused of having harmed the motherland, the first by surrendering in the Cold War without a fight, and the second for allegedly allowing the US to deplete Russia of much of its wealth.
Following such dubious logic, we could say that Putin is possibly a CIA asset because his war in Ukraine is damaging Russia more than its most powerful adversary could ever dream of inflicting (without using nuclear weapons).
The New York Times’ documentary, premiering May 20 on FX, puts the world’s richest man’s stylish electric vehicles under the microscope—with occasionally deadly results.
Teslas are stylish, cutting-edge, and immensely popular electric vehicles. With their sleek exteriors, luxurious interiors and dashboards dominated by a single enormous touchscreen, they’re preeminent 21st-century status symbols. While their wow factor is undeniable, however, their safety and reliability record is more debatable, as evidenced by the fact that just last week, Tesla recalled upwards of 130,000 cars because of a not-insignificant new glitch: the onboard infotainment system had a habit of overheating to a dangerous degree, thereby shutting down a variety of basic functions necessary for operation. While a software update was all that was required to fix the glitch, it was merely the latest technological headache for the company, which—depending on which reports you believe—has to date issued recalls on a quarter to half of all its sold cars.
Hmmm…
