8 Rapes Per Day Recorded in Germany’s Most Populous State in 2022

While the number of reported rapes in North Rhine-Westphalia—Germany’s most populous city—increased 25% in 2022 compared to the previous year, the number of rapes involving more than one perpetrator jumped by 43%.

In response to an information request by the national-conservative Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) party, data released by the Ministry of the Interior of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia revealed that 2,949 rapes were reported last year, which corresponds to eight rapes per day and represents an increase of more than 25% compared to the previous year.

The number of rapes involving more than one perpetrator—sometimes referred to as ‘gang rapes’—also rose dramatically across North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany’s most populous state, in 2022, climbing from 172 in 2021 to 246 in 2022, a year-over-year increase of 43%, the news outlet RTL Deutschland reports.

Germany: Ibrahim A. Charged With Murder Following Brokstedt’s Knife Rampage

The accused was deemed harmless by a prison psychiatrist before being released from custody where he was being held because of an earlier knife attack.

Three months after the deadly knife rampage in Brokstedt that saw two young people murdered and five others injured, public prosecutors in Germany have brought forth charges against the perpetrator, Ibrahim. A., a 34-year-old Palestinian.

Ibrahim. A., who previously compared himself to Anis Amri—an Islamist terrorist who in 2016 killed 13 people and injured 67 after plowing through a Christmas market on Berlin’s Breitscheidplatz with his vehicle—on Thursday, April 27th, was formally charged by the Itzehoe public prosecutor’s office with two counts of murder and four counts of attempted murder, Der Spiegel reports.

Muslim Students Feel “Unsafe” After Koran Stomp,

An instructor was fired at Hamline for showing images of Mohammed in art class. A Persian instructor is being investigated at San Francisco State for doing the same thing. Those are both examples of Islamist student associations trying to turn blasphemy into a hate crime. But there’s an older example of that which is the claim that any desecration of the koran, an Islamic text that calls for the mass murder, enslavement and rape of non-Muslims, is a hate crime and endangers Muslims. The latest example of this took place at Wayne State U.

Blasphemy Laws and ‘Hate Speech’: Free Speech at a Crossroads

The roots of oppressive censorship are one and the same. Europe’s ‘hate speech’ laws are a secular equivalent to blasphemy laws—both hinder people from living and speaking freely.

The European Parliament passed a much-needed resolution highlighting the perilous effects of some of the most dangerous free-speech restrictions on the planet—blasphemy laws. In an urgent resolution, the parliament called for the release of Yahaya Sharif-Aminu, a Nigerian musician, who was sentenced to death for sharing a message containing allegedly ‘blasphemous’ song lyrics on WhatsApp in 2020. It is high time that the international community rally around the cause to free Yahaya and end blasphemy laws.

Parole Board Imposes Strict Conditions in Release of Muslim Terrorism Convict to ‘Protect Society’

The Parole Board of Canada has imposed strict conditions on the statutory release of Mohamed Hersi, the first person in Canada to be tried for attempting to leave the country to join a terrorist activity abroad, citing the need to “protect society.”

Hersi, 37, is being released after serving more than 9 years and 7 months in prison, after he was convicted of participating in the activities of a terrorist group and counselling another person to do the same. He was arrested at a Toronto airport in 2011 as he was about to travel to Egypt and later join the Al-Shabaab, a jihadist militant group in Somalia.

Crisis in France: Author Writes on Islamism, Needs Police Protection

Islamists have leveled death threats at an influential French academic, forcing her to live under police protection after writing a hard-hitting book about the Muslim Brotherhood’s strategy to Islamize Europe. Muslim activists have, as expected, denounced her work as “Islamophobic,” but some Islamists and non-Muslim leftwing academics have on this occasion taken the invective to another level by falsely comparing the scrutiny of Islamism to Nazism.

Florence Bergeaud-Blackler, an anthropologist at the French National Center for Scientific Research (Centre national de la recherche scientifique, CNRS), one of the leading research institutions in Europe, is a long-time observer of the Islamist landscape in the West. In January 2023, she published her magnum opus, The Brotherhood and its Networks: The Investigation (Le Frérisme et ses reseaux, L’Enquête), a 400-page book that meticulously dissects the Muslim Brotherhood’s efforts to spread Islamism in Europe.

Better Designation of Muslim Brotherhood Actors in Western Societies Needed to Combat Extremist Currents

The Muslim Brotherhood (MB) was founded in Egypt in 1928. From there, the ideology traveled with its followers over the years, who spread it to new places — particularly the West. However, it has been observed that authorities in Western societies often deal with Muslim Brotherhood members and supporters differently depending on their country of origin.

In Canada the Trudeau government welcomes the Muslim Brotherhood as an ally in their war against Canadians.

Terry Newman: Trudeau Liberals should extradite prof convicted in terrorist attack

LaPresse columnist Isabelle Hachey noted Friday that your perception of Lebanese-Canadian sociologist Hassan Diab will depend largely on what news source you read. In the French and European press, Diab, who was tried in absentia, is a convicted terrorist. In the English-Canadian press, he is a persecuted innocent. Hachey is right. It’s like we’re reading about Diab and Mirror Diab.

Terry Glavin: Anti-Israel conference in Ottawa set to go, despite connections to banned terror group

**Samidoun Prisoner Solidarity Network**

While Israelis are doing their best this week to rise above the unprecedented political turmoil in their country and celebrate the 75th anniversary of the founding of the world’s only Jewish state, an avant-garde Ottawa arts centre is getting ready to play host to an international conference this weekend, organized by a shadowy terror-connected network devoted to Israel’s destruction.

We all know why this is happening.

“Salafist Police” Targeting Westernized European Muslims … Maybe They’ll Clash With The White Supremacist Hindu Alliance!

Some call them the Salafist police. Others say they are just ordinary extremists. Either way, they are terrorizing other Muslims in the Netherlands, radicalizing Muslim youth, and working to undermine the secular democratic system – not just in Holland, but in Belgium, France, and elsewhere across Europe.

While America seems to have largely forgotten the threat of radical Islamism, jihadism, according to Dutch intelligence agency AIVD, remains the greatest security threat for Europe. That threat exists not only in the form of terrorist violence, but in the effect of online propaganda, Salafist-run schools, intimidation on social media, and ongoing efforts at polarizing European society as Salafist groups and charismatic activists urge fellow Muslims to reject Western democratic mores.

Gettin pretty darn diverse out there.

Hindu nationalists, white supremacists join forces

Preliminary findings indicate the two extremist groups on separate continents are hooking up on social media

During Ramadan, a man attacked a mosque in Markham, Ontario, Canada. He allegedly yelled slurs, tore up a Qu’ran, and attempted to run down worshippers in his vehicle.

Some people on Twitter have raised the idea that the attacker was connected to Hindu extremist groups; however, the investigation is still ongoing.

This is one of two hate-motivated incidents at mosques in Markham in a week. Although police said they don’t believe the incidents are connected, as a researcher of online extremism I can theoretically link these events to a global trend of Islamophobic violence.

That’s some link!

When Prevent Is Worse Than the Cure

The UK’s Prevent labeled Shakespeare, Tennyson, Conrad, Chesterton, Tolkien, Chaucer, Kipling, and Milton “key texts” for “white nationalists.” Sir Kenneth Clark’s 1960s BBC TV documentary series “Civilization” was also named and shamed.

After much prevarication, in February the former Charity Commission supremo William Shawcross’s highly critical review of the government’s useless Prevent anti-terror strategy was finally released, unsurprisingly concluding that politically correct Prevent staff had applied a “double standard” towards perceived Islamist and Far-Right terrorist threats. Established in 2006 and now costing £49m per year, Prevent has apparently preferred to neglect Islamists in favour of the far easier target of conservative-minded individuals who, argued Shawcross, held views “well below the threshold of even non-violent extremism.”

Advised by alleged ‘anti-fascist’ groups whose definition of ‘fascist’ appeared to be ‘anyone who doesn’t think exactly like we do,’ Prevent drifted down the road of defining the majority of the population who voted Brexit, or consider immigration to be too high, as being at danger of becoming the next Unabomber.

Germany arrests 28-year-old Syrian over ‘radical Islamist’ bomb plot

German authorities arrested a 28-year-old Syrian national on Tuesday morning, one of two brothers suspected of planning to blow up civilian targets using a homemade explosives belt for “radical Islamist and jihadist” reasons, a statement said.

Public prosecutors in the northern port city of Hamburg carried out searches as part of a joint probe with police, arresting the man whom they believed bought raw materials for bomb-making off the internet over several weeks.

Trudeau considers options as Canadian convicted in 1980 Paris synagogue bombing

“We will look carefully at next steps, at what the French government chooses to do, at what French tribunals choose to do,” Justin Trudeau says.

Canada is weighing its next steps after a Paris court convicted a Lebanese-Canadian in absentia for the 1980 bombing of a synagogue in the French capital, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says.

“We will look carefully at next steps, at what the French government chooses to do, at what French tribunals choose to do,” Trudeau told a news conference. “[But] we will always be there to stand up for Canadians and their rights.”

Why is Netflix treating the Boston bombers as victims?

The woke elites’ pity for radical Islamists is just nauseating now.

Imagine if one of the streaming services made a documentary about the hard life of Dylann Roof, the racist mass murderer who shot up a black church in Charleston in South Carolina in 2015. Imagine if they depicted Roof as a cool, charismatic kid – ‘a charmer’, they might say – who only went off the rails because of how badly he’d been let down by American society. Imagine if they implied that it was the myth of the American Dream, the unattainability of that dream to ‘white trash’ kids like Roof, that pushed poor Dylann over the edge. Worse, imagine if they hinted that it was Roof’s feeling that he was always playing second fiddle to other races – especially the black race – that pushed him towards hyper-violence.

Parole Board says measures needed to ‘protect society’ as Canadian terrorism convict is released

Citing Hersi’s “propensity for violence,” the Parole Board ordered the 37-year-old to undergo treatment “to address ingrained extremist ideologies” and “violent behaviour.”

He must also live at a halfway house upon his release, can own only one cell phone, and is not permitted to use a computer capable of accessing the internet, the Board wrote in its decision.
