What Did the FBI Agent in Colleyville Mean by His Dismissive Comment?

American Jews are waking up.

In 1994, my wife and I took our children on a trip to visit relatives in England. We stayed over the Sabbath at her cousin’s home in a quiet London suburb. In the morning, I walked to the synagogue, one that her cousin, an architect, had designed.

I was shocked when I reached the building to see a policeman conspicuously posted by the synagogue entrance, keeping a careful watch on the comings and goings. How jarring it seemed in that green and pleasant land, a proud bulwark of political freedom, to see this show of force. Thank God, I thought to myself, that in America, it hasn’t come to that.

Britain has a Muslim anti-Semitism problem

Highly segregated communities have become breeding grounds for Islamism and anti-Jew hatred.

On 15 January, Malik Faisal Akram, a 44-year-old British Pakistani Muslim from Blackburn in north-west England, took four people hostage at a synagogue in Colleyville, Texas. In return for their release, he called on the US authorities to free Islamist terrorist Aafia Siddiqui from nearby Fort Worth prison. In a phone call during the siege to his brother, he said that ‘maybe [the authorities will] have compassion for fucking Jews’. An FBI hostage rescue team eventually entered the synagogue and shot Akram dead.

It was only last year that Muslim hatred for Jews and Israel was recognized in Canada. I’m only half kidding about that.

Éric Zemmour: France’s Last Chance for Survival?

Paris, December 18, 2021. The Algerian national soccer team wins the Arab Cup in Qatar. Tens of thousands of Algerian supporters, waving Algerian flags, rush onto the Champs-Élysées in Paris. Shop windows are smashed. The unrest lasts until nightfall. Slogans are shouted: “Long live Algeria”, “By Allah, the Koran!” — and also “Fu*k France!” and “Fu*k Zemmour!” The police are ordered not to intervene. They are attacked anyway.

The next day, Jean Messiha, a former member of the National Rally Party, notes on television: “The great replacement and the ethnic hatred, we can see them”.

Éric Zemmour, a Jewish candidate for the French presidency, does not comment. He simply states in an interview: “sadly banal scenes”.

Syrian Kurdish forces backed by US troops fight to regain control of ISIS prison

Fighting at a prison in the northern Syrian city of al-Hasaka entered a fourth day on Sunday as the Kurdish Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) continued to battle fighters from the extremist “Islamic State” (IS) group after a breakout at the facility.

The Kurdish forces said the militants attacked the prison once more on Sunday and tried to break the security cordon around it. In a statement, the SDF said the attack had been repelled and the IS fighters driven back into a residential area. Another attack by IS militants coming from outside the city was also thwarted, a spokesman said.

The Texas synagogue attack won’t be the last

Islamists have regrouped and grown stronger

“At one point, our attacker instructed us to get on our knees. I reared up in my chair, stared at him sternly… and mouthed ‘no’.”

It’s easy to read Jeffrey Cohen’s account of being held hostage in a Texan synagogue at the weekend as an uplifting tale of bravery and accomplishment: it tells of a terrifying stand-off with a deranged, gun-wielding attacker, brought to an end after nearly 11 hours when a rabbi threw a chair at the assailant and managed to escape with two other hostages

Follow the Netherlands’s example: Don’t fund terrorist fronts

The bomb that ended Israeli teenager Rina Shnerb’s life in August 2019 also ended Dutch support for the nongovernmental organization that employed her killers. It just took about two years to happen.

Last Wednesday, the Dutch Cabinet upheld its decision to cut funding to the Union of Agricultural Work Committees, a Palestinian nonprofit group whose stated goal is to help local farmers. Faced with incontrovertible evidence, the Dutch couldn’t deny that the UAWC simply had too many employees who moonlight for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine or vice versa.

‘Dozens of ISIS fighters’ freed in Syrian jail break

Islamic State has attacked a Syrian prison housing its suspected members and a military base in Iraq in near-simultaneous deadly operations that have revived fears of the terror group’s resurgence.

IS has yet to comment on the attacks and there is no indication that these were coordinated, but according to analysts they strongly suggest IS is trying to boost its ranks and arsenal in an attempt to reorganise across both countries.

The attack in Syria killed at least 23 Kurdish security forces and set “dozens of IS fighters” free, according to the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

Colleyville and the evils of identity politics

Why the woke set doesn’t care about this act of racist holy war.

Isn’t it remarkable that all those woke blowhards and self-righteous TikTokers who were raging about JK Rowling’s ‘racist’ goblins a couple of weeks ago have had nothing to say about the violent hostage-taking of four actual Jews in Texas? You remember the goblin controversy. It was a new low – there’s one every week – for the Rowling-hating set.

To Avoid More Attacks Like at Texas Synagogue, Biden Administration Must Know, Name Our Enemies – Starting with CAIR

It’s not just Siddiqui who spews antisemitic bile, but the leadership of the Council on American-Islamic Relations also actively trade in Jew-hatred.

The FBI’s Hostage Rescue Team and local Texas police officers deserve enormous gratitude for securing the safe release of four people taken hostage during a Jewish religious service at a Dallas-area synagogue.

But while we should praise these heroic actions, we should not overlook the politically-motivated claimed ignorance by senior FBI and Biden administration officials regarding the motive for this terrorist attack. This was a wake-up call for this administration to recognize, name, and prioritize America’s real enemies or similar attacks will follow.

The march of Islam in Belgium

In Belgium, Islam is rapidly replacing Christianity. When a society no longer knows a reason to exist, others find it.

A church in Forest, Brussels, has been transformed into … a climbing gym. “In Belgium, it’s the first time,” says Dhnet. This was announced by Mayor Mariam El Hamidine of Ecologists.At the same time, the old church on rue de l’Eglise in Masnuy-Saint-Jean was officially put up for sale for 100,000 euros. The decision was made by the city council. In Nivelles another church ended up on the market. Then the Ciney church was sold for € 200,000. In Ghent, the church of Sant’Anna has been converted into a supermarket. And in Beyne-Heusay, 2 out of 5 churches will be demolished.

And this to record changes only for the last three months. Going a little further back is the church of Petit Wasmes, in Wallonia, converted into apartments, while in Anderlecht the great church of St. Francis will become a sports center.

The false mystery of motives

The evil that we saw at a Texas synagogue is not senseless. It is self-gratifying

Faced with some high-profile crimes, our law enforcement authorities are finding it hard to say what has prompted “suspects” to pursue deadly violence.

Even President Biden found himself baffled by what would lead a known Islamist terrorist to invade a synagogue on Saturday night and hold a rabbi and other members of his congregation hostage.

The steep price of Europe’s surrender to Islam

Hijab Centre, Blackburn. If you have one of these in your town, you have an Islam problem.

The tentacles of the Islamization of Blackburn, England reached all the way to Texas. Expect more of the same.

Among the areas that Ed Husain visited to talk about the Islamization of England in his magnificent book “Among the mosques” is Blackburn. “It has the highest Muslim population outside of London and is the global hub of the Deobandi, the movement that created the Taliban in Afghanistan,” the book says.

Whites told him they were afraid to enter “no-go areas” of the city, such as the Whalley Range. Husein found supporters of Pakistan’s blasphemy laws there. “The main street is full of shops for organizing Hajj pilgrimages, restaurants that guarantee the separation of the sexes, Islamic bookstores and a number of mosques”.
