The vast majority of British Muslims identify with their religion over their nationality, a report has found.
A study conducted by the Institute for the Impact of Faith in Life (IIFL), based on survey data and interviews with 815 British Muslims, has found that over seven in ten (71 per cent) identify as Muslims first.
In contrast, just 27 per cent of British Muslims said they primarily identified as British, English, or Scottish.
People smugglers are earning “hundreds of millions” from small boat arrivals with cash syphoned through an underground banking system.
The National Crime Agency (NCA) is targeting the informal Hawala banking system
It is exploited by gangs because transfers of funds are agreed between operators, or hawaladars, in different countries, which means migrants can travel across Europe without carrying any cash.
The Muslim Slaughter of Christians
Democratic Republic of Congo: The beheaded corpses of seventy Christians—men, women, and children—were found inside a church. Earlier, on Feb. 12, Muslim militants of the Allied Democratic Forces, which is affiliated to the Islamic State, rounded up and marched 70 Christians to a Protestant church in Kasanga. There, the Christians were “tied up and decapitated with knives.” According to a regional expert,
“This was not just an act of terror. It was a targeted massacre of Christians, and it will not stop here… The ADF is part of a growing extremist network that wants to wipe out Christianity in the region. If nothing is done, more attacks will follow.”
“We don’t know,” local church elder said, “what to do or how to pray; we’ve had enough of massacres. May God’s will alone be done.”
The same Muslim militants slaughtered another 355 Christians “for their faith” in 2024.
A Labour MP for a city plagued with bin strikes and piled high with rubbish has backed calls for a new airport to be built in Kashmir.
Tahir Ali, the MP for Birmingham, has come under fire for supporting a campaign for the new airport in another country.
He took to social media to voice his support for the project in the district of Mirpur, which is within the disputed Kashmir region administered by Pakistan.
Britain’s elites love their fellow citizens like ours love us.
A dark hand is behind the import of incompatible cultures. Our biggest threat comes from within not from Trump. God forbid Carney's advisor Wiseman has his way. I did my time in the streets protesting Islam's incursion. It was all for naught.

British Hindu extremists are forming alliances with Far-Right groups over their ‘common hatred’ of Muslims, says a police intelligence report seen by the Mail on Sunday.
The study also claims that the extremists, who are aligned with India’s hardline prime minister Narendra Modi, are feared to be interfering in British elections by telling Hindus which parties to vote for and which to avoid.
The secret report, compiled by the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC), says Hindu extremism – which is known as Hindutva – may worsen community relationships between Hindus and other faith groups like Muslims and Sikhs.
Beware attempts to blur the line between valid criticism of political Islamism and anti-Muslim discrimination.
A growing danger among Western liberals is the failure to distinguish between the radical Islamist minority and the majority of Muslims. Feature the Canadian government’s new “Guide to Understanding and Combatting Islamophobia.”
The guide’s imprecise definition of “Islamophobia” blurs the line between genuine anti-Muslim discrimination and valid criticism of political Islamism. By failing to make this distinction, the guide shields extremist agendas from scrutiny and empowers those who seek to silence moderate Muslim voices.
The English government has just appointed the new head of Ofsted, the body that inspects public schools. His name is Hamid Patel and he is a mufti.
And then they say that “Islamization does not exist”.
Patel was the headmaster of a school in Blackpool, the first in the country to ask pupils to wear the hijab outside of school, to “recite the Koran at least once a week” and to “not carry stationery containing non-Islamic images”. And while he was at it, Patel also invited a Saudi imam to speak badly of Jews, which never hurts.
A sort of emirate in Lancashire.
Authorities in Zurich have, for the first time, issued a fine under the Swiss law known as the “burqa ban,” prohibiting facial coverings in public spaces.
Police officers in the city of Zurich fined a woman who covered her face for “religious reasons.” The woman refused to pay the penalty of ₣100 (€105), so the case will go to the canton governor’s office who will rule on the matter.
New campaign will endorse federal election candidates based on their support for Gaza
MONTREAL – A group representing Canadian Muslims has launched a campaign urging voters to choose federal election candidates based on their support for Gaza.
The Canadian Muslim Public Affairs Council says it plans to endorse candidates in several dozen ridings where Muslim voters could hold sway.
A clothing brand specialising in Islamic dress has provoked a public row with an Instagram advertisement showing the Eiffel Tower swathed in a hijab, captioned: “The French government hates to see Merrachi coming.”
The tone of the advert for Merrachi has caused offence in France, which has banned the hijab in schools and public offices.
A man who threatened to bomb all of Toronto’s synagogues and “kill as many Jews as possible” has been convicted of two criminal offences, Global News has learned.
… Reached by Global News, Akbari called the witness a liar and said he had only spoken about closing “stupid casinos.” He denied even knowing what a synagogue was.
“It’s a prayer place, I guess, something like that,” he said.
Detained Columbia University protester Mahmoud Khalil hid his ties to the controversial United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees on his visa application, the feds have alleged.
Lawyers for the Department of Justice lodged new accusations against the anti-Israel campus protest leader in court papers over the weekend, arguing that they should be grounds for his deportation.
Is there any public benefit to the “advancement of religion”? Under the Charities Act 2011, places of worship can achieve charitable status if they demonstrate that their activities are for the public benefit. But what if the views espoused in such settings cause harm to wider society?
This is an urgent question, because yet another mosque has fallen foul of the rules. This time it’s the An-Noor Masjid and Community Centre, a registered charity in Birmingham which posted a video of a preacher who effectively condoned domestic violence and marital rape. Mahamed AbdurRazaq was advising a congregation on what a husband could do if his wife refused to have sex with him.
First scuffle of the day between pro-Palestine and pro-Israel supporters.
