The Times reported this week that thousands of social media accounts connected to terror groups, including Iran-backed Hezbollah and the Houthis in Yemen, have been allowed to operate freely on mainstream platforms. While everyone can see what is posted on Instagram and X, it’s much harder to tell the extent of the problem on encrypted services such as Telegram and WhatsApp.
What happened to all the progressive feminists? At a time when the industrial-scale exploitation of girls across the UK has been back at the top of the news agenda, we have heard remarkably little from what you might call the professional feminist set.
Louise Casey’s audit on grooming gangs, published last week, was sufficiently explosive to force UK prime minister Keir Starmer to u-turn on his opposition to holding a national inquiry into the scandal. Of course, in many ways, the report merely underlined what victims, parents and a few brave journalists have been trying to communicate for decades: that vast swathes of young girls across the UK have been sexually exploited by grooming gangs, made up disproportionately by Pakistani Muslim men.
Zohran Mamdani, who has been chosen by 5% of the electorate and by the Democrat Party, as their candidate, appeared at a Brooklyn terror mosque where an Imam had previously prayed that Allah aid Hamas terrorists and “guide their shooting”.
A shocking wave of Iranian regime insiders — including suspected members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) — have quietly moved to Canada in recent years, stoking fears of sleeper cells poised to strike targets across North America.
The explosive revelation comes amid heightened tensions in the Middle East, where a shaky ceasefire appears to be holding after America joined Israel’s 12-day bombing campaign of Iran’s nuclear program.
Now, national security experts say Canada’s loose immigration system may have opened the floodgates to Iranian operatives bent on retaliation — and that the threat could extend across the border into the US.
Welcome to Iran North.
Friday’s weekly news recap featuring PBS News Hour host Amna Nawaz, Washington Post associate editor Jonathan Capehart, and New York Times columnist David Brooks preferred to talk about the conservative reaction—or more accurately, Nawaz’s cherry-picked conservative reactions—to socialist Zohran Mamdani’s New York City mayoral primary win than Mamdani’s actual positions and history.
It’s a constitutional right to hate on commie Muslim foreigners.
Five officers are implicated after €10m of cocaine went unaccounted for during a sting on ‘Mimo’, one Europe’s biggest narco-traffickers
When the container ship OPS Hamburg docked in Marseilles on a morning in April 2023, officers from France’s elite anti-drug force were lying in wait. They were sure their cunning sting would net one of Europe’s biggest narco-traffickers.
The US Drug Enforcement Administration had told them that buried in a container of bananas arriving from Cartagena, Colombia, there was a massive shipment of cocaine. It had been ordered by Mohamed Djeha, alias Mimo, the feared boss of Marseilles’ Castellane clan.
This brutal crime was kept under wraps by a near-total media blackout—but now the shocking details have emerged.
Just three years ago, in Marseille, a young 40-year-old military doctor, Alban Gervaise, was brutally murdered by Mohammed—“in the name of Allah”—in front of his children’s school. There was no minute of silence or national tribute for him. His widow has just learned with horror that her husband’s murderer will not be tried because he has been deemed “mentally unfit to stand trial.”
It may be the Jihadists we support.
After Muslim terrorists attacked the St. Elias church in Damascus, killing 25 Christians and wounding over 60 others, there were more questions than answers about the attack.
The common factor amongst the perpetrators is not nationality or ethnicity but Islam, and the common factor amongst the victims is that they are non-Muslims.
We need to talk about the failure to collect and provide data about the offenders connected to the grooming gangs—or what is more accurately described as child sexual slavery and enforced child trafficking.
Despite having signed and ratified the Convention on Preventing and Combating Violence Against Women and Domestic Violence (‘the Istanbul Convention’) which, in article 11, requires the UK authorities to collect and make public such data, we have an intelligence picture that is so bad it suggests the truth is being deliberately obscured to hide the true scale and nature of these horrors.
‘Iran’s Supreme Leader may be hiding in shame, but his hateful ideology marches on, right here in Canada.’
With the announcement of a “complete and total” ceasefire agreement between Israel and Iran, US President Donald J. Trump earlier this week declared an “official end,” to a 12-day war of relentless bombing.
Within a couple of hours an angry Trump dropped the F-bomb when he blasted both Israel and Iran for violating the terms he had just announced.
A Syrian national identified only as Mohamed A has been charged by German authorities with supporting a foreign terror group over a foiled plot to attack a Taylor Swift concert in Vienna last August.
Mahdi Nasiri let the world know he was on his way to Canada in April.
The former high-profile Iranian official posted a series of farewell photos — including a goodbye hug — on Instagram for his more than 250,000 followers and anyone else to see.
He has been in Canada ever since.
The fruits of multiculturalism: We have traitors in high places.
Dos Mas Tacos opened recently next to Spitalfields Market, one of London’s trendiest and busiest areas. Two beef birria tacos cost £11.50; two mushroom vegano are £10.50; a ‘can-o-water’ is £2.50.
But look a little closer at their menu, and something jumps out: no pork and no alcohol. You’d expect a carnitas option at a taqueria, and you’d want a Corona with it. You can’t get either at Dos Mas Tacos. Huh? Or maybe hmm.
I assume many of you woke up this morning to news that Zohran Mamdani has won the Democratic primary, and will be running in the November New York City mayoral election.
You have my sympathies.
And though that election is still several months off, and Mamdani will be running against, among others, the incumbent Mayor Adams (running as an independent after leaving the Democratic party in April), the polls suggest that Mamdani has a solid chance of becoming New York’s 111th mayor.
Europe in 2025 has been facing rising tensions linked to Islamist radicalization, These have been fueled by conflicts in the Middle East, jihadist propaganda on social networks and gaps in security coordination among countries.
Imagine a handful of individuals, mostly radicalized European Muslims, between the ages of 18 and 35, operating in major European cities such as Brussels, Paris or Berlin, and determined to avenge “the Palestinians”. This network decides to strike Jewish Europeans, massacre as many as possible, spread terror among Jews and non-Muslims – all “kuffars“, unbelievers in Allah — and to pit one community against another. They gather in unmonitored mosques, on encrypted internet forums or through recruiters in the Middle East. Together, to maximize the psychological and media impact, they plan a coordinated attack, inspired by Hamas’s October 7, 2023 attack on Israel. Their target: a high-profile public event, such as a cultural festival, a march against antisemitism, a pro-Israel rally, or a so-called “republican march”, as it is known in France. Their attack could be paired with a secondary target, such as a Jewish community center or synagogue, to remind the international community who the villain is supposed to be.
