Christopher Hitchins Barely Touched Upon Islam’s Predations

In a viral clip, Hitchens spoke about the Muslims’ centuries-long slave trade against Europeans and Americans. He understated the severity of the problem.

Aviral clip is making the rounds showing Christopher Hitchens, who passed away in 2011, giving a talk in 2005. In it, he discusses the Barbary slave trade that captured an estimated 1.5 million Europeans and Americans over several hundred years. If anything, Hitchens understated how aggressive the Islamic world was against the West.

Why Belgium is sending in the army to defend its streets

It’s not uncommon to see camouflage on the high street in Belgium. It is a peculiarly Belgian reflex: when the state feels the strain, it reaches for the army.

This week, the federal government has done so once more. Soldiers have been deployed to bolster security around Jewish sites and neighbourhoods in Brussels and Antwerp, following a spate of clumsy but troubling attacks across Belgium and the Netherlands. Synagogues have been targeted with arson and a Jewish school struck by an explosion. Mercifully, no one has been injured and the damage has been minor. Yet the intent is clear, and the authorities have been quick to identify the incidents as anti-Semitic acts.

Britain Adopts a ‘Back-Door’ Blasphemy Law

There’s nothing like a good old-fashioned blasphemy debate to get the blood pumping and temperature rising.

After all, you got the incendiary mix of religion, politics, and free speech all rolled into one messy debate. In Great Britain, the debate revolves around whether the nation can be made safe for “Mohammedans,” as Winston Churchill charmingly referred to Muslims. (Referring to Muslims as “Mohammedans” is not a slur. It’s an adjective. And if I can’t use an adjective as a “charming” descriptor for Muslims, I will turn myself in for violating America’s blasphemy laws. Just as soon as Congress passes one.)

Minister pressed why just 1 Iranian official deported after 24 deemed part of terror group

Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree faced pointed questions Tuesday about why the federal government has deported one Iranian official, despite longstanding concerns about how the regime operates in Canada and abroad.

Finding himself in the hot seat before a parliamentary committee, Anandasangaree said Canada is “aggressively trying to remove” members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) — a branch of Iran’s military that Canada listed as a terrorist entity under the Criminal Code in 2024 — but said due process has to be followed.

Why the number of Islamic schools in Canada is soaring

Islamic schools reinforce the parallel society Muslims desire. Integration is not on their agenda.

“We all would fight and die for Canada,” declares Abraham Abougouche (BULLSHIT) as snow pelts against his office window. The “we” Mr Abougouche pledges are the staff and pupils of Edmonton Islamic Academy (EIA), the largest of its kind in the Americas. He is the principal. His office bears symbols of a dual identity: boxing gloves emblazoned with the Palestinian flag hang opposite a cabinet of ice-hockey memorabilia. That balance is tricky. “Assimilation,” he says, can be “dangerous if done blindly…you’re going to lose your own personal identity, your own connection with your ancestry.”

Many Muslim parents across Canada share his anxiety. They worry that the country’s state-school system—which mostly separates religion from education, allowing religious schools to operate privately—may distance their children from Islamic values or expose them to Islamophobia. Most Muslim pupils attend the state system, but data from the Islamic Schools Association of Canada show rising enrolment for private Islamic schools. There are long waiting-lists for existing schools and new ones are opening fast.

Golders Green fire: Iran ‘may be behind Jewish ambulance attack’

Security agencies and the police believe Iran could be behind the arson attack on four ambulances belonging to a Jewish volunteer service.

The agencies have not ruled out Tehran’s involvement in the attacks, in which four Hatzola ambulances were set on fire in Golders Green, north London. They are understood to be keeping an open mind about the attack, which is being treated as a hate crime. No one was injured.

You know you have a Muslim problem when … Belgium Sends in the Troops—at Home

Monday, March 23rd saw soldiers deployed on Belgian streets, initially in Brussels and Antwerp. The initial three-month commitment will involve 200 soldiers, tasked with protecting Jewish community sites. Operations will be extended to Liège, including military backing for the railway police—and for large-scale integrated police operations (FIPA).

While the troop contingent will guard synagogues and schools, part of its assignment also includes working against the Kingdom’s burgeoning narcotics trade, especially in the capital.

MORGAN: Say it out loud — the problem is Islam

Let me begin by quoting the brilliant Mr. Bean, AKA Rowan Atkinson:

“To criticize a person for their race is manifestly irrational and ridiculous, but to criticize their religion, that is a right. That is a freedom.”

Let’s get on with critiquing the world’s most troublesome religion. As is our right and obligation.

Am I an extremist?

On Monday, the Communities Secretary Steve Reed rose in the House of Commons to unveil ‘Protecting What Matters’, the government’s new ‘action plan’ to ‘strengthen social cohesion’ and ‘tackle division’. According to the accompanying press release: ‘Millions of families, friends and neighbours will feel a stronger sense of community, unity and national pride thanks to renewed efforts to stamp out extremism, hate and division announced today.’

I was not among those millions. Conspicuous by omission in the announcement was any mention of Islamism. The impression given by the minister was that ‘those who try to divide us’ and ‘subvert our shared values’ are not the Muslim students mourning the death of Iran’s Supreme Leader or people like Mothin Ali, the deputy leader of the Green party, who tweeted on the day Hamas slaughtered 1,200 Jews: ‘White supremacist European settler colonialism must end!’ Instead, it is politicians like Nigel Farage and Katie Lam who draw attention to the small boats and the grooming gangs.

Trafalgar Square takeover – another expression of power and intimidation

Muslims descrate Trafalgar square with Satanic cult rituals

THIS IS where we are in the UK. Muslims take over Trafalgar Square for open-air prayers. It’s a display designed to intimidate all non-Muslims. It’s a ritual of conquest. It’s saying ‘we control this country’. It’s a warning to anyone who isn’t Muslim.

The Muslim Mayor of London gives this official support and protection. Of course he does. Taxpayers’ money is spent protecting these people as they take over one of the most iconic public spaces in London.

France: Jihadist Faces Life Over Yazidi Sex Slave Atrocities

A French jihadist is being tried in absentia in Paris over Islamic State (IS) crimes committed against the Yazidi minority in the Middle East, with prosecutors calling for a life sentence.

Sabri Essid, born in 1984, joined IS in Syria in 2014 and is presumed to have died in 2018. In the absence of confirmed proof of death, French courts have proceeded with the case. He faces charges of genocide, crimes against humanity, and complicity in crimes committed between 2014 and 2016.

The Islamist roots of these mass prayer rituals

Muslims desecrate Trafalgar Square with cult ritual

Good on Nick Timothy for smoking out the hypocrisy, muddled thinking and cant that obscures the debate over Islamism in Britain. He must have known the furore that would follow when he branded the Muslim prayer session in Trafalgar Square an ‘act of domination’. He must have known it would attract the worst and weakest criticisms from the worst and weakest people. And lo it came to pass.

Saint-Denis, ‘City of Kings’, and the Great Replacement: A Case Study

The local elections in Saint-Denis, a city with a population of over 150,000, saw, for the first time, the victory of a far-left candidate representing La France Insoumise (LFI): Bally Bagayoko was elected with just over 50% of the vote.

LFI and its leader, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, have made Bagayoko their champion. Through him, Mélenchon is methodically pursuing his promotion of what he calls the “New France,” a new country where ethnic mixing must become the norm—a “creolisation,” in his words, whose benefits are largely imagined, and which is supposed to revitalise an old country in decline.
