Back in 2015, I watched a one-minute video of Muslims connected to the Islamic State (“ISIS”) breaking crosses inside and from atop churches. Because the video had for some days been going viral on Arabic social media, I, in an effort to bring Westerners up to speed with Muslims—to show them the same things Muslims around the world were watching—uploaded it onto YouTube.
A military judge at Guantanamo Bay has ruled one of the five defendants charged over the 9/11 attacks is not fit to stand trial in a death-penalty case.
The defendant Ramzi bin al-Shibh has been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, associated psychotic features and a delusional disorder.
His lawyer has long claimed his client was “tortured by the CIA”.
Al-Shibh was scheduled to face pretrial proceedings on Friday.
Islamists are “weaponising” claims of Islamophobia to shut down debate on head scarves and veils, a think tank has found.
A new report by Policy Exchange suggests that freedom and debate to discuss Islamic head scarves and face coverings is being denied by Islamic extremists.
The comments were made in a report by Sir John Jenkins, who spent 35 years in the British Diplomatic Service and was a former Ambassador to Burma, Syria, Iraq, Libya and Saudi Arabia, as well as HM Consul-General in Jerusalem and Special Representative to the National Transitional Council.
A woman in Indonesia has been jailed for two years after saying an Islamic prayer before eating pork in a viral TikTok video.
The video showed Lina Lutfiawati, who has more than two million followers, saying a brief prayer that translates to “in the name of God” before eating a piece of crispy pork skin.
In 2018, the All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on British Muslims proposed the first working definition of Islamophobia in the UK. In its report, Islamophobia Defined, it stated that ‘Islamophobia is rooted in racism and is a type of racism that targets expressions of Muslimness or perceived Muslimness’.
On Sunday, The Washington Post ran an editorial by Allan Lengel, detailing “accusations of betrayal” in a small Michigan community known as Hamtramck, after the city council enacted a ban… prohibiting the display of Pride flags on city property.
Germany’s secret political police were weaponized against those considered “Islamophobes” by the Home Secretary.
Sigrid Herrmann (SPD) is an expert on political Islam and publishes the blog “Islamism and Society,” where she provides well-founded reports on the main actors and activities of radical Islam in Germany. Herrmann helped reveal the connections between the “charitable organization” Islamic Relief, the Muslim Brotherhood and its Gaza affiliate, Hamas.
Islamic Relief is banned in Israel and the UAE for its terror ties, but was funded by the German government, advertised by German public broadcasters and supported by major German political figures such as President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and Bundestag Vice-President Aydan Özoguz, until Herrmann’s revelations in 2021, when they had to shelve the collaboration.
NICE, France—Nawel Moumen, a 13-year-old French Muslim, was taken aside last spring by the dean of her middle school. The robe-like dress she had on was inappropriate, Moumen recalled the dean saying, because he considered it a religious garment. He warned her she would face detention if she wore it again.
France is expanding the definition of what kinds of clothes are unacceptable under the rules of laïcité, the country’s strict separation of religion and state. For nearly two decades, public schools have barred students from wearing a visible Christian cross, a Jewish kippah, a Muslim headscarf or any other religious symbol deemed ostentatious by school officials.
“It was the week before December 25, midday on a mild Monday, and the muezzins of London were chanting the glory of Allah and how there was no other god but him…”.
This is how “1985”, the prophetic novel by Anthony Burgess, the author of “A Clockwork Orange,” begins. He wrote it in 1978 and it looks like the portrait of the West in 2023. Paradoxical and unpredictable, Burgess, writing in the Guardian of December 31, 1989, wrote that “the old opposition was between the free world and the communist world. The new opposition will not be with atheistic communism, but with fundamentalist Islam…”.
The knife has become a weapon of Islamic terrorists in Germany, you only have to read the many news reports – even if they are not always classified as in this case

The diehards of ISIS were surrounded and making their last stand in Baghuz, Syria, in 2019 when a Canadian who had married into the terrorist group surrendered.
U.S.-backed Kurdish fighters took Kimberly Polman to a prison called Roj Camp, where she told Global News she understood she might be put on trial once she returned to Canada.
“I’m not above the law,” she said.
Unlike barbaric nations such as France, Germany and the USA Canada does not believe that women are capable of being real terrorists or doing bad things and besides Islam is a religion of peace.
A Belgian court on Wednesday rejected French terrorist Salah Abdeslam’s request not to be extradited to France, saying that his claim that it would be a breach of his human rights was not “sufficiently substantiated”.
Abdeslam, 33, was transferred to Belgium from France last summer to be tried by a separate Belgian court for his role in two ISIS-claimed attacks in Brussels in 2016 in which 35 people died. He was found guilty in July on all counts and is expected to be sentenced in the coming days.
His lawyers, however, requested in early September that he not be transferred to France to serve a life sentence without parole, the country’s harshest possible sentence, which was issued by a Paris court in June last year.
Baghdad has asked Sweden to extradite Iraqi refugee Salwan Momika, who stoked international outrage by desecrating the Quran, he and his lawyer told AFP on Tuesday.
“Iraq wants him extradited because he burnt a Quran outside the mosque (in Stockholm) in June,” lawyer David Hall told AFP after Swedish police questioned Momika in connection with the extradition request.
The Left that arrests pastors who define traditional marriage turns the other way when Muslim women are hidden behind veils or killed.
Iranian dissidents accuse the German giant Bosch of manufacturing and selling Iran the cameras used by the ayatollahs to find Iranian women on the streets who do not wear the veil so they can punish them. Can that be the same Bosch that organizes the pro-LGBT “Pride like a Bosch” on the streets of Europe?
The West has become a cartoon of its own self.
A former Pakistan international cricketer has been given a 12-year prison sentence in the Netherlands for threatening far-right MP Geert Wilders.
The case was based on a video posted online in 2018, in which Khalid Latif offered 21,000 euros (£18,000) to anyone who would kill the politician.
That was after Mr Wilders made comments about the Prophet Muhammad that were offensive to Muslims.
It is considered unlikely that Latif will serve any of his sentence.
He currently lives in Pakistan, which has no extradition treaty with the Netherlands.
