The experiment is over, and the results are in: The British laboratory has blown up in the face of its creators. For decades, London has been the global capital of a specific, elitist delusion, according to which you could host any ideology, no matter how hostile to your way of life, and it would eventually be tamed by the sheer charm of the English Sunday roast and the rule of law. Complete nonsense, as it turns out.
THE Henry Jackson Society is one of today’s more worthy British institutions, defending as it does liberal democracy and what it terms ‘real’ human rights – presumably as opposed to a 6ft 3in bearded confused-dot-com’s imagined right to hike up his skirt in a ladies’ loo. It’s no surprise then that one of HSJ’s latest studies focuses on ‘Forecasting the Muslim Sectarian Wave’. It’s particularly topical as the nation heads to the polling booths today. Or not, in too many cases.
This is a very interesting piece and I recommend you pry yourself away from today’s UFO disclosure to read it.
MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Three women who were among 13 Australians returning home from Syria were arrested at airports on Thursday on allegations of slavery and terrorism inside the Islamic State group’s former so-called caliphate, police said.
The four women and nine children, who have spent years in Roj Camp in the Syrian desert, landed on two Qatar Airways flights from Doha Thursday, a day after the Australian government announced their intention to return.
Stephen Nutt, the Australian Federal Police Assistant Commissioner for Counter Terrorism, said a 53-year-old woman who arrived at Melbourne Airport would be charged by Friday with four crimes against humanity including possessing a slave and engaging in slave trading.
The controversy surrounding the banquets organised by Le Canon français shows no sign of abating. The initiative, launched by two young entrepreneurs to revive traditional banquets centred on culinary specialities from across France, has come under fire from the press and the Left on the grounds that it perpetuates an ideology of exclusion and promotes far-right ideas. The rector of the Paris Mosque has spoken out publicly to, in turn, attack these festive gatherings which bring together several thousand enthusiastic guests in towns and cities across France.
In a video dated April 29th, Chems-Eddine Haffiz, rector of the Paris Mosque—who, given his official position, is regarded as a kind of spokesman for Islam in France—lashed out at the Canon français and its banquets: the fact that it celebrates a cuisine featuring pork, he claimed, is proof of a logic of exclusion. He condemns the “4,000 guests gathered around a spit-roasted pig” and accuses them of “symbolically” excluding those who do not share this cuisine—that is to say, Muslims.
Even before a single ballot has been counted, Islamic sectarianism has already emerged as one of the defining stories of these English local elections. Significant proportions of Muslim voters are expected to swing towards Green or Muslim independent candidates, and away from a Labour Party that could once depend on their vote. A new report by spiked columnist Rakib Ehsan for the Policy Exchange think-tank explains why.
An ISIS terrorist who was part of a beheading gang dubbed The Beatles has had his bid to move to a comfortable British jail refused.
El Shafee Elsheikh – known as Jihadi Ringo – is currently serving life in a high-security US prison after he was convicted of hostage-taking and conspiring to murder in 2022.
The 38-year-old had applied to move back to his ‘home country’ Britain so he could be closer to family and friends – despite his citizenship being revoked in 2018.
The city of Memmingen is in mourning following the discovery of 14-year-old Jermaine B., whose body was found in a dilapidated building after a massive weekend manhunt.
The case took a violent turn on May 4th, when the primary suspect—a 37-year-old rejected asylum seeker—was shot dead by police after attacking officers with a knife.
A criminal investigation in Germany has drawn international attention and reignited debate over freedom of speech and religious criticism. At the center of the case are two Christian YouTubers who spoke out against Islamic antisemitism and are now under scrutiny by prosecutors for it.
The case involves ‘Niko’ and ‘Tino,’ creators of the YouTube channel Eternal Life, where they publish content about Christianity, faith, and social issues. In 2024, they uploaded a video titled “Islam is not peace,” in which they criticized what they described as Islamic antisemitism in Germany.
Most of the media has framed the Minnesota fraud scandal in the Somali community as a simple story of greed. And although greed certainly played a role, the scandal revealed much more about how diverse communities navigate American status hierarchies. In fact, few episodes capture the underlying dynamic more clearly than the convergence of the aspirational lifestyles of the Somali perpetrators — who gravitated toward the symbols of prestige they saw modeled around them — and the public posture of figures like U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar (MN‑D), who speak the language of redistribution while living a life of unmistakable privilege.
The battle lines for the preservation of Western civilization were drawn long before the murder of the Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh in 2004. The double-dealing actions of many European leaders have been endlessly on display for all to see.
Now, both the US and Israel — in their quest to stop the indefatigable enemies of the West and maintain free trade, democracy, and military deterrence against these predators — may have found themselves thwarted. By whom? By their “allies,” no less: Belgium, France, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, Germany, and the United Kingdom.
Carney wants us to hook up with these losers.
The Canadian Security Intelligence Service investigated at least seven priority cases of radicals preparing to commit violence that were at least in part motivated by the Israel-Hamas conflict, according to the CSIS annual public report published on Friday, amid rising concern about religiously motivated violence in Canada.
Authorities in Australia said on Wednesday that 13 Australians linked to alleged members of the extremist “Islamic State” (IS) group plan to return home from Syria.
The returnees include four women and nine children, who had been living in Syria’s Roj camp.
As per local media reports, they are expected to arrive at airports in Sydney and Melbourne on Thursday.
Big mistake. Canada is equally stupid.
Sharia “moral police” must be stopped in Europe, a Swedish MEP has warned, as he demands Brussels track and expose groups accused of harassing residents.
Sweden Democrats (SD) MEP Charlie Weimers said an “EU-wide monitoring framework” should be established to count individuals working to implement strict sharia rules, accusing them of “harassment, intimidation, and threats.”
Importing Islam was an act of pure evil.
Feda Shahin, a Green candidate in Bournemouth, was first exposed – for different extremist statements – by The Spectator on 21 April. We disclosed she had said that ‘the Zionists killed 20 million Christians’ and that ‘Zionists are trying to control the world.’ She is ‘secretary general’ of a local pro-Palestine group, the Palestine Solidarity Movement, which earned national notoriety after it staged a night-time picket of an MP’s private home.
Those remarks were, it turns out, only part of Shahin’s wide repertoire. We have now been passed her conversations in the Palestine Solidarity Movement’s group chat, including her reaction to our previous story about her. This was not, it’s fair to say, shame, apology or regret. Instead, she said The Spectator was running a ‘trolling campaign’ – deliberately posting inflammatory statements to provoke emotional responses.
If anyone needs proof that jihadism is for losers, they need only look at the case of Abdullah Albadri. He was found guilty yesterday at the Old Bailey of preparation of terrorist acts and two offences of possession of a bladed article in a public place. On 28 April last year, he travelled across London to the Israeli embassy in Kensington, wrapped his head and face in a red-and-white shemagh, put on sunglasses, armed himself with two knives, and tried to climb the perimeter fence. Armed diplomatic protection officers stopped him within seconds.
That was the whole grand operation. An hour of theatrical pilgrimage through London, a martyrdom note, two knives, a costume, a fence, and then the ground.
