France scales back Olympics opening ceremony over terror fears

France has further scaled down the Paris 2024 Olympic Games opening ceremony, which will take place in July on the River Seine, amid concerns over terror threats.

Boats ferrying flag bearers from all participating nations will sail four miles through the heart of Paris, with 104,000 spectators now earmarked to watch from the waterfront and 222,000 others watching from bridges and streets, Gérald Darmanin, the French interior minister, told a Parliament hearing on Tuesday.

Germany: Ramadan lights to go up in Frankfurt for first time

The German city of Frankfurt is aiming to send a message of peace and togetherness during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan by illuminating a central high street with half-moons, stars and other decorations for the first time, German media reported first on Tuesday.

From March 10 until April 9, a month of fasting and reflection for Muslims, Frankfurt’s pedestrianized Grosse Bockenheimer Strasse — known colloquially as the Fressgass (roughly: food alley) due to its proliferation of cafes and restaurants — will feature a large sign reading “Happy Ramadan!” and other illuminations.

Hamas says it feels demonized just because of a little traditional Islamic sexual violence on Oct. 7 which is perfectly fine with Allah & Co. in case you didn’t know

Hamas rejects UN report on Oct. 7 sexual violence

Hamas issued a statement on Tuesday rejecting a United Nations report released the previous day on the Gaza-based terrorist group’s sexual violence during the Oct. 7 massacre and the sexual abuse of hostages.

“We in Hamas strongly reject and condemn the report published by U.N. representative Premila Patten, which accuses the Palestinian resistance fighters of committing acts of rape and sexual violence on October 7,” the terrorist organization wrote.

The terror group called the report’s claims “baseless false accusations” which amounts to the “demonization of Hamas.”

Latest Trudeau Perfidy: Liberal government reportedly poised to resume UNRWA funding

OTTAWA — A little over a month after Canada hit the pause button on funding the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, reports suggest the federal government is prepared to resume sending money by next month.

Citing confidential sources, reports published Tuesday evening by CBC News suggest Canada is preparing to resume sending money to UNRWA, with an announcement reportedly scheduled for Wednesday.


This is an insult to all non- Hamas allied Canadians.

Trudeau is offering tax payer dollars to a terrorist supporting organization to shore up votes with the LPC’s Hamas base.

British Parliament Reduced to Frightened Mess in Face of Islamist Threats

Britain’s Parliament will require visitors to undergo identity checks, as politicians become increasingly concerned about their personal security. This is the first time in its history, with the institution previously presenting itself as open to public scrutiny and allowing direct access to elected representatives.

News that Parliament will toughen up its security comes less than a fortnight after protestors projected the slogan “from the river to the sea” on its iconic exterior tower, known worldwide as Big Ben.

Why did you let them in?

Hamas won the UK elections

Delightful multiculturalism! Note the the mayors of Birmingham, Leeds, Blackburn, Sheffield, Oxford, Oldham and Rochdale.

“This is for Gaza”, Galloway said. The left-wing populist blowhard took away Labour’s two decades of dominance in Rochdale, the former Manchester-area textile town scene of the infamous child abuse scandal, in which Pakistani immigrants committed horrific sex crimes against teenage girls working class white women for many years.

Labour’s candidate, Azhar Ali, told a party meeting that Israel had “allowed” the October 7 Hamas massacre to take place, to give it the “green light” to invade Gaza.

Some fears about Islam are entirely rational

A ‘phobia’ is an irrational fear, as in claustrophobia, agoraphobia or arachnophobia, all conditions deserving of sympathy. But fear can be rational, too. An infantryman in a First World War trench would have every reason to fear going over the top. To accuse him of a ‘phobia’ would be uncharitable, to say the least. An Australian suspected of arachnophobia might point out that spiders with a dangerous bite are not rare. In Britain, there’s much less to fear from spiders, so my fear of them could fairly be called arachnophobia. Is there a group of people who, like Australians in the case of spiders, have good reason to fear certain aspects of Islam? If such a group exists, I suggest it would be found among Muslims themselves.

Does France hold the key to cracking down on Islamist extremism?

When you post soldiers in your streets out of fear then you have an Islam problem.

Are we being ‘poisoned’ by extremism? The Prime Minister seems to think so. His speech on the steps of Downing Street following the Rochdale by-election described a country where values of tolerance and civility were being deliberately undermined by Islamists and the far right. ‘Islamist extremists and the far right feed off and embolden each other,’ he warned. But in conflating those two threats, the Prime Minister made the same mistake as his predecessors.

Sunak followed the script, endorsed by too many institutions in Britain, that the big threat to our way of life comes in two equal halves. Yet treating the far right and Islamist terror as two sides of the same coin defies all the realities of who is in custody, who is in the graveyard and what makes up 75 per cent of the terror caseload. The equity obsession seems designed to comfort the sensibilities of a progressive audience rather than respond to what the data says. Islamist extremism is by some margin the biggest terrorist threat in this country. Sunak could, and should, have been much clearer on this point, about the extremism that has rocketed levels of antisemitic hate and infiltrated both pro-Palestinian marches and our electoral process. Seeking to leaven these uncomfortable facts with false equivalence is dangerous.

Groups ‘undermining’ British values to be guilty of extremism

Ministers are to broaden the government’s definition of extremism as part of a crackdown on people and groups “undermining” Britain’s institutions and values.

Rishi Sunak has asked Michael Gove, the levelling up secretary, to update the government’s definition of extremism, which was first set out more than a decade ago. It defines extremism as “vocal or active opposition to fundamental British values” and is seen by the government as no longer being fit for purpose.

A new definition, which is still being finalised, is expected to cover those whose actions more broadly “undermine” the country’s institutions or values.

Britain Again Has a Choice: Civilization or Savagery

Just as the Brits chose to fight Hitler, so it must choose to fight his heirs.

If anyone had doubts as to the seriousness of the threat to the West and its heritage of political freedom, what happened this last week in the “Mother of Parliaments” should be enough to dispel them.

When Pim Fortuyn was assassinated two decades ago in Holland, largely because of his opposition to multiculturalism, most shrugged it off as unimportant. When Islamists went on a rampage of murder after a Parisian satirical magazine published a satirical cartoon that offended many Muslims’ sensibility, that seemed like an isolated incident and why stir up trouble anyway? We wrote off concerns about radical political Islamism as racist, xenophobic, whatever, when they spawned political reactions in Switzerland, Sweden, and Hungary.


Muslims represent about 6.7% of the population in England. In Canada about 4.7%. Both figures are based on 2021 census data.
