Islamic sectarianism is surging in Europe

New political parties are pushing a sinister combination of anti-Israel activism and Muslim identity politics.

The Israel-Hamas war undoubtedly loomed large over the UK General Election in July. In constituencies around the country, a sizeable number of candidates ran on a pro-Palestinian platform. In some areas, campaigns were run on strictly religious lines, with groups like The Muslim Vote encouraging British Muslims to only use their votes on pro-Palestine candidates. The group had some big successes, with five ‘pro-Gaza independents’ now sitting in parliament – four of which managed to unseat incumbent Labour MPs.

“Far-right” activists fundraising for people jailed over UK riots

Far-right activists are trying to raise funds for people jailed over their roles in the summer riots, describing them as “political prisoners”, in an attempt to generate support by giving money to their families.

More than £14,000 has been raised by a leading group, which has been promoting the start of its “gifting” of funds to families of “political prisoners”.

One of the leaders of Patriotic Alternative (PA) recently met a teenager in HMP Hull who had been jailed for racially aggravated harassment during the disturbances, his wife told supporters.


OMG! Money is being given to families of people involved in riots whom far-right groups are calling ‘political prisoners’

Two tiered policing is not a myth in the UK.

Wikipedia labels Muslim grooming gang scandal ‘moral panic’

The title of the Wikipedia article about Muslim grooming gangs in Britain has this week been changed to include the phrase “moral panic”. Previously titled “Muslim grooming gangs in the United Kingdom”, the name was altered on 7 October to “Grooming gang moral panic in the United Kingdom”.

Every Wikipedia article has a “Talk” function which allows users to request and debate edits. The change was confirmed by a user named “Sceptre”, who wrote: “There is a consensus that, if the article is to be kept (and for the meanwhile, it is to be kept), that ‘moral panic’ should be included in the article title to reflect how the subject is dealt with in reliable sources.”

Those who love death vs. those who don’t love life enough to fight

Do we love our Western way of life enough to defend it from those who love death?

In 633 CE, a year after Muhammad’s death, the commander of the new Muslim armies wrote a letter to the Persian emperor, Yazdegerd III, the last king of the great Sassanid dynasty.

“Submit,” Khalid ibn al-Walid declared, “or you will be conquered by men who love death as you love life.”

To the emperor, the general must have seemed like a madman. How could the Persian Empire, standing for more than 400 years, be threatened by those who love death?

“We love death more than you love life”.

Dan Pujdak: By failing to stand against antisemitism, our leaders have shown they stand for nothing

… Is there a political cost to being associated with hate? No, it turns out, as members of Parliament like Jenica Atwin and Ahmed Hussen continue to sit as senior members of the diversity-championing Liberal caucus despite being involved in antisemitic controversies.

Should Canada fund organizations that plausibly aid terrorist activities? Yes, according to our government, which restored financial support to UNRWA despite evidence that some of the organization’s employees participated in the October 7 massacre.

Afghans in Germany: Yearning to Islamize the Land

In 2015, then-Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany swung open wide the gates to her country, and welcomed more than a million Muslim migrants with her famous — now infamous — remark that “Wir schaffen das!” “We can do this.” But in the nearly decade since, it turns out that the people and government of German “can’t do this.” They cannot integrate successfully millions of Muslim economic migrants. The government cannot turn them into loyal and productive citizens. Many of them continue to avoid employment, and instead batten on the many benefits that the generous welfare state of Germany provides: free or greatly subsidized housing, free medical care, free education (including vocational training), unemployment benefits (without having been previously employed), family allowances, and more. When they want more than those benefits, Muslims more often than the indigenous Germans turn to crime — street robberies, house burglaries. Some also engage in the sexual molestation and rape of German girls and women who, by their dress and demeanor, appear to these primitive Muslim minds to “be asking for it.”

Joe Adam George: Extremism is a common sight on the streets of Trudeau’s post-national Canada

We need to have some difficult conversations about our race-to-the-bottom immigration policies

As news broke on October 7, 2023, of Hamas terrorists running rampant in Israel, wreaking unspeakable violence on innocent civilians, the celebratory mood in the Canadian pro-Hamas camp manifested itself in a most despicable and un-Canadian way: the glorification of terrorism.

For most Canadians, unaccustomed to the reality that terrorists enjoy more goodwill than Jews in the Middle East, the celebrations were an eye-opener and a harbinger of far worse to come.

Man accused of plotting NYC Oct. 7 attack made refugee claim in Canada: immigration consultant

While a Pakistani man living in the Toronto area was allegedly planning a mass murder of Jews in New York, he was also seeking refugee status in Canada, according to an immigration consultant.

The U.S. is now aiming to extradite Muhammad Shahzeb Khan, 19, after he was arrested by RCMP in a dramatic operation on Sept. 4 in Ormstown, Que., not far from the U.S. border.

The FBI alleges Khan told undercover officers he was building an ISIS cell to “slaughter” as many Jewish civilians as possible in a violent rampage around the anniversary of the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas attacks on Israel.

Collin May: The lessons we should have learned from October 7

On the first anniversary of the October 7 terrorist attack on Israel, it’s worth looking back at the lessons we learned, or should have learned, over the past year.

First, it’s always appropriate to remember what happened a year ago. In a surprise attack, Hamas terrorists stormed across the Gaza-Israel border, torturing, raping and killing over 1,200 Israeli citizens and foreign nationals. Hamas also took 251 hostages — some have returned, some have been killed and many remain captive.

Geert Wilders: We Will Not Let Our Country and Continent Be Destroyed

The hatred of extreme left-wing agitators and parts of the left-liberal elite in politics and the media against our Jewish compatriots and the State of Israel since the barbaric massacre of innocent civilians on October 7, 2023, has directly fueled anti-Semitism and hatred of Jews.

It started immediately after October 7 with inflammatory demonstrations of millions of people with false flags and slogans in many European capitals, including many non-Western immigrants, who thereby demonstrated that they do not share any of our values ​​and do not belong here. Then followed the betrayal at universities and in parts of our media and politics. Both nationally and internationally, from the [Netherlands] House of Representatives to the EU and UN, as well as in newspapers and on TV. Every day again. There are now even police officers who refuse to protect Jewish objects and instead of being fired on the spot, their cowardly police chiefs show understanding.
