KFC, the fast-food chain, has reignited religious tensions in France with an announcement that two dozen of its restaurants will serve only halal meat.
In a country where divisions over the place and role of Islam run deep, the move by the US chain has been denounced by the right and defended by the left.
A former Labour council leader who referred to grooming victims as “poor white trash in Rotherham” could remain a councillor for another year without a public vote.
Dennis Jones stepped down as leader of Peterborough city council, apologised and was suspended by the Labour Party after his comments were made public in September last year.
Mr Jones now sits as an independent councillor and was due to face re-election in May.
A member of an Afghan trafficking gang that smuggled young boys into the UK on small boats before raping and blackmailing them with the footage has been kicked out of the country.
Zeeshan Banghis – also known as Bangash – and Saifur Rahman Ahmedzai were arrested by National Crime Agency extradition officers in December 2024 after a Belgian judge jailed them in their absence.
Banghis, 21, was sentenced to three years in jail in November 2024 and will now be extradited to Belgium to serve his sentence following a hearing at Westminster Magistrates’ Court.
Students were raped after being forced to live in complex alongside 125 refugees to ‘aid integration’
Terrified Dutch students made to live side-by-side with 125 refugees to aid their ‘integration’ were subjected to years of sexual assault and violence, an investigation has reported.
Stek Oost, located in the Watergraafsmeer district of Amsterdam, was sold to the Netherlands as the dream solution to the housing and refugee crisis.
A total of 125 students and 125 refugees would live alongside each other, and were even encouraged to ‘buddy up’ so the migrants would adapt to life in the Netherlands more quickly.
A British woman has been withdrawn from an ultramarathon after receiving online threats to behead her.
Sarah Porter was 30 miles through the 108-mile Montane Winter Spine Challenger South endurance race along the Pennine Way when organisers made the decision to withdraw her because of safety concerns.
Porter was undertaking the challenge to raise money for young girls and women in Afghanistan and received death threats online, with some social media posts appearing to suggest she would be decapitated on January 11.
And Western society has criminalized discussion about it.
Through demographic shifts, and ideological subversion, Islam continues to conquer, in slow motion, the European countries of the West. More on Islam’s march to victory in Europe can be found here: “The Islamification of Western democracies: The great, dangerous silent takeover – opinion,” by Eliyahu Haddad, Jerusalem Post, December 31, 2025:
What once required 500 years of military conquest now unfolds in just 50 years through immigration and demographics. Europe’s Muslim population has surged from less than 1% in 1970 to a projected 10 to 14% by 2050, a transformation
There are now 46 million Muslims in Europe, out of a total population of 745 million.
No politician is more of an enigma than Somali-born Congresswoman Ilhan Omar.
For years she has been rumored to have married her brother – allegations she has called ‘absurd and offensive’. Her family fortunes, steered by her white, American husband, have curiously skyrocketed to $30million.
And more recently, her Minneapolis community has been mired in shocking fraud allegations.
On November 24, 2025, U.S. President Donald J. Trump signed an executive order initiating a formal process to designate certain chapters of the Muslim Brotherhood as Foreign Terrorist Organizations and Specially Designated Global Terrorists. The order directs the Secretaries of State and Treasury to assess Muslim Brotherhood chapters in countries such as Egypt, Jordan, and Lebanon and take action under U.S. counterterrorism laws to deprive them of capabilities and resources — a move the executive order explicitly tied to national security priorities after the Hamas invasion of Israel on October 7, 2023 and its aftermath throughout the West. The order also sets a rapid timetable for recommendations on specific chapters.
Much has been written in recent years, and even recent days, about the threat posed to the mental wellbeing of children by malign external forces, whether it be X generating nude images of women, the misogyny spread by influencers such as Andrew Tate, or the welter of ‘misinformation’ available online. But a story at the weekend reminds us of one of the most formidable actors in this department, one that continues to warp and taint young minds: our education system.
A state-funded computer game, developed with government backing by councils in East Yorkshire, reminds teenagers they risk being referred to a counter-terrorism programme if they question mass migration. In Pathways, an interactive game designed for 11- to 18-year-old pupils and funded by Prevent, the Home Office programme designed for tackling extremism, players are directed to help their in-game characters – a white teenage boy or girl – on how to avoid being reported for ‘extreme Right-wing ideology’. Players discover the consequences of ‘engaging directly’ with posts which talk about ‘the need to take back control of our country’ and ‘the erosion of British values.’ The game also comes with material for teachers, who are urged to use the resource to ‘demonstrate the local threat picture of extreme Right-wing activities specifically.’

As bullets tore through the crowded Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach on December 14th, Ahmed al-Ahmed acted with extraordinary courage. The 43 year-old Syrian born Muslim immigrant and father of two ran towards the gunfire. He tackled an ISIS-inspired shooter and wrestled away his rifle. He was shot twice. His intervention almost certainly saved lives in the massacre that left 15 dead and more than 40 wounded.
Within hours, his story went viral, dominating global headlines and social media. Donations quickly mounted to AUD 2.5 million in a GoFundMe dedicated to his heroism. World leaders praised him, from Australian Prime Minister Albanese to President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu. Yet the scale and intensity of the acclaim were striking – because his identity carried symbolic weight.
‘IF YOU care about Britain’s future, Western civilisation, free speech, borders, Christianity and national identity,’ says Ben Habib, his conversation with Ayaan Hirsi Ali ‘goes to the heart of what is at stake – and what it will take to rescue and restore our country’. He is right.
Should you need confirmation of the remarkable woman that Ayaan is, for her courage, clarity of thought, sheer knowledge and for the lucidity of her communication, this interview provides it.
The United Arab Emirates has dropped British universities from a list of schools their citizens can study at under government scholarship. The reason according to the Financial Times in London, which broke the story, is over concerns that students will become radicalized in Britain due to the influence of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Since the news of Minnesota’s sprawling Somali-linked fraud cases went national, debate over immigrant crime has flared once again. President Trump has dispatched federal agents to the Twin Cities to crack down on illegal immigrants. But Trump is overreacting, critics contend: the Somali immigrant population, they claim, does not have particularly high crime rates.
Alex Nowrasteh of the Cato Institute, for instance, set off considerable debate on X by posting a chart showing that Somali-born immigrants have, if anything, slightly lower incarceration rates than native-born Americans. Among those aged 18 to 54 included in the 2023 American Community Survey (ACS), 1,170 of every 100,000 people born in Somalia were incarcerated, versus 1,221 for the native-born.
Any hope the people of Minnesota had that things would quiet down in their state following revelations of widespread and deep corruption tied to Somali scams has evaporated by now. The Trump administration has been flooding the state and the city of Minneapolis with people from all levels of the federal government and just about every major agency, all determined to assess the extent of the depravity.
Policing issues in the United Kingdom’s third-largest urban area wouldn’t normally interest Canadians. But Craig Guildford, chief constable of the West Midlands Police (Birmingham being the biggest city under his watch) is currently in very hot water of a sort that some Canadian police chiefs should be, perhaps, as well. A Nov. 6 Europa League soccer match between storied Birmingham club Aston Villa and storied Israeli club Maccabi Tel Aviv, which was contested in front of roughly 43,000 empty seats, has become emblematic of Jews in the U.K. essentially being punished for their own persecution. And it happens here too.
