Islamism ruined Britain do not let it ruin America

The New Year began in America with news that a Ford F-150 Lightning pick-up truck had been driven into crowds on Bourbon Street, in New Orleans’ French Quarter, killing 15 and injuring 35 more. The suspect then exited the vehicle and opened fire, wounding two police officers, before being shot dead. The assailant has been identified as 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a US army veteran born in Texas. While this had all the hallmarks of an Islamist attack, the FBI were quick to have a barely-literate confirm “it is not a terrorist event”. This was then recanted, when it was revealed that Jabbar was flying an ISIS flag from the trailer hitch of the truck, and that two improvised explosive devices were found near the scene. Now, the FBI suspects Jabbar did not work alone.

We’ve Forgotten a Key Part of Counterterrorism

Stopping attacks requires a “see something, say something” mentality. (In Canada that would result in hate crime charges)

In the early hours of New Year’s Day, 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a U.S. Army veteran from Houston, plowed his rented truck through revelers on New Orleans’s Bourbon Street. Then he jumped out and initiated the shootout that ended his life, wounding two police officers. Police found an ISIS flag, weapons, and an improvised explosive device in Jabbar’s pick-up truck, along with two more IEDs in the area. Jabbar’s attack left at least 14 dead and dozens more hurt.

Is it Chairman Chow calling the shots or that Muslim she appointed deputy mayor?

Why Musk’s love-in with Tommy Robinson presents a problem for Nigel Farage

On Boxing Day, Nigel Farage was describing Elon Musk as “a bloody hero” and confirming that he was expecting a “reasonable-sized donation” from the billionaire to Reform UK.

Barely a week later, Mr Musk’s love-in with Mr Farage’s party is looking a little awkward. Mr Musk, who began the day accusing Sir Keir Starmer of failing to go after grooming gangs, ended it by calling for the release of the far-Right activist Tommy Robinson, who was jailed in October for contempt of court for repeating false allegations against a Syrian refugee.

Mr Musk retweeted posts describing Robinson as a “political prisoner” and separately said: “Britain needs Reform now!”

Douglas Murray: From college campuses to Afghanistan, we let Islamic terrorism rise again

Let’s all give a big shout-out to the “Globalize the intifada” crowd. You got your way! Congratulations. Hope it feels good.

For years, citizens of Israel have had maniac jihadists driving at them and trying to mow them down on their streets. But this got only cheers from the dolts on US college campuses and New York street protesters.

Then, just before Christmas, Germany again got a taste of this “intifada.” That was when a Saudi immigrant decided to plow a vehicle through a previously happy Christmas market. He killed five people and injured almost 200.

Toronto-area teen arrested over alleged plan to travel to join ISIS

Toronto Area Teen

A Toronto-area teen has been arrested on suspicion he was planning to travel abroad to join ISIS, CBC News has learned.

Court records show the RCMP applied last month for a terrorism peace bond in the case, which would restrict the movements of the 18-year-old from Newmarket, Ont. The accused can’t be named due to his age.

“Although the defendant is an adult now, much of the allegations occurred while he was a young person,” said Nathalie Houle, a spokesperson for the Public Prosecution Service of Canada.

If only we had been less Islamophobic!

The ‘intifada’ comes to New Orleans

If the New Year’s Day massacre in the Big Easy doesn’t wake us up to the horrors of Islamism, nothing will.

‘Bring the intifada home!’, cried Ivy League radicals throughout 2024. Well, here it is. On the bloodstained, wreckage-strewn streets of New Orleans. In the shattered limbs of the injured, the extinguished promise of the dead. The very Islamist violence that the West’s woke influencers have been making excuses for, have been glorifying as ‘resistance’, have openly praised from the safety of their leafy campuses, has now struck at the heart of America’s own Big Easy. Is this what you wanted?

Why is Labour rejecting a national grooming gangs inquiry?

Is it any wonder this went on so long?

Last week, I wrote that Labour, during half a year in office, has launched a staggering 67 reviews and consultations, as well as “a new quango every week since coming to power”.

But it seems there is such a thing as an inquiry too far. Yesterday, it was reported that Safeguarding Minister Jess Phillips had formally rejected repeated requests for a Home Office-led inquiry into Oldham’s historic rape gangs scandal, following a request by the local council. X owner Elon Musk then called for Phillips to be jailed as a result.

New Orleans terror attack: why car rammings are tactic of choice

It was 2016 and the Islamic State jihadist group was on the rise, seizing vast swathes of the Middle East. Not content with its territorial gains, it wanted to sow terror across the western world.

The best way to do this, its leaders believed, was to radicalise as many followers in the West as they could, while suggesting methods of attack that did not demand much in the way of skill, training or financing.

Muslim violence rings in the New Year at home and in Europe

UPDATED 1530 EST: Not only can we confirm that this was definitely Islamic terrorism, but we know that this was meant to be a devastating terror attack involving several actors and intended to cause hundreds of deaths throughout the French Quarter:

Guns and pipe bombs were also found in the vehicle, according to a Louisiana State Police intelligence bulletin obtained by The Associated Press. The devices, which were concealed within coolers, were wired for remote detonation, the bulletin said, and a corresponding remote control was discovered inside the vehicle.

The FBI said other potential explosive devices were also located in the French Quarter. According to the intelligence bulletin, surveillance footage captured three men and a woman placing one of multiple improvised explosive devices.

The new scramble for the Middle East

In the summer of 2023, Syria and the wider Middle East seemed more stable than at any point in recent memory. It was telling that, in May of that year, the Arab League, a regional organisation of Arab states, welcomed Bashar al-Assad’s war-torn Syria back into the fold after over a decade of isolation. Four months later, US national security adviser Jake Sullivan memorably declared that the Middle East ‘is quieter today than it has been in two decades’.

New Orleans Terrorist is a Muslim named as Shamsud Din Jabbar who was flying ISIS flag on truck he used to kill 15

The man who drove a truck into a crowd of New Year’s revelers in New Orleans’ French Quarter, killing 15, has been identified as 42-year-old Shamsud Din Jabbar, a US citizen.

The Ford electric vehicle was owned by another 42-year-old man from Houston, Texas. The truck had reportedly been rented out on Turo, and police are in contact with the owner who listed it for rent.

The gunman was killed by police after he slammed a truck into pedestrians celebrating the New Year, exited the vehicle, and started firing.

Never trust the FBI

Easy Peasy.

The Houellebecq Prophecies

The French writer’s novels have foretold coming catastrophes with uncanny prescience—and his ambivalence toward modernity has much to teach us.

Michel Houellebecq is a writer of the after—after history, after God, after politics, after romance, and after happiness. He chronicles a world in which we watch ourselves live, poisoned by irony, oscillating between nihilism and hedonism, until the difference between the two becomes imperceptible. Houellebecq captures this post-world without adornment. His characters are lonely, sexless, and impotent. They seek something higher and seldom find it. They try to escape from their condition but cannot. For Houellebecq, the impossibility of escape is the defining feature of our age. As he puts it in Platform (2001), “everything can happen in life, most of all nothing.” It’s not merely that nothing happens, but that nothing will happen. As a civilization, we may have done things in the past. But our present precludes the future tense.
