Brussels officials are never lost for words on Gaza or the war in Ukraine. But critics say it is another matter entirely when it comes to the persecution of foreign Christians, especially by Islamists.
Dutch conservative MEP Bert-Jan Ruissen said on Monday that the European Union—as well as other international communities—is “far too silent about jihadist violence against Christians.”
Windsor Ramadan dinner and LGBT art event part of King’s diversity drive
A Ramadan meal and an LGBT+ history month lecture at Windsor Castle this year have been hailed as exemplifying the King’s “momentous” commitment to diversity.
The Royal Collection Trust – which oversees the upkeep of the royal palaces – said in its annual report, released on Tuesday, that “inclusion and diversity was a key priority this year” as it hosted a series of religious and LGBT+ celebrations.
For the first time in its 1,000-year history, Windsor Castle hosted an Open Iftar meal in its state apartments to mark the breaking of fast for Muslims during Ramadan. Last autumn, it hosted an inaugural Diwali Family Day including prayers from the head priest of the Slough Hindu Temple.
The Southport killer was enabled by our feckless, decrepit state.
On this day last year, Axel Rudakubana took a taxi to a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in Southport, Merseyside. Within 15 minutes of arriving, he savagely murdered three young children, attempted to murder eight more, and attacked two adults who tried to stop him. Had they not managed to escape, thanks largely to the bravery of the adults at the scene, all 26 girls would almost certainly have been murdered.
German officials this week filed charges against a Syrian migrant who critically injured a Spanish tourist during a knife attack at Berlin’s Holocaust Memorial in February.
The Federal Prosecutor’s Office said in its indictment that this location was deliberately chosen because of the individual’s “radical Islamist and antisemitic views.” It adds that he sent photos of himself to members of Islamic State just before the attack, “giving the organisation the opportunity to claim responsibility.”
On July 24, Egyptian-born Michael Youssef, senior pastor of Church of The Apostles in Atlanta and author of more than 50 books, including The Third Jihad, wrote that while visiting a Middle Eastern nation, he met with a highly placed Muslim official.
“He leaned toward me and said, ‘Doctor Youssef, can you tell me why the Muslim Brotherhood is outlawed as a terrorist organization in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Egypt – but is allowed to flourish in America?’ I said, ‘I can think of no answer except foolishness and ignorance.'”
Are you like me? Do you resist reading the morning news because there only seems to be “bad news”?
I remember a time not so long ago when Leah and I felt it our civic duty to be informed. While enjoying our morning coffee, we would spread our newspapers out on our kitchen counter and pore over the headlines, picking out what we believed to be the must-read stories of the day. We would proceed to discuss the good, the bad and the ugly.
Federal officials pushed to approve Islamic-compliant home loans despite repeated internal warnings that the proposal was unworkable, according to newly released Access To Information records.
Blacklock’s Reporter says emails reveal the Department of Finance wanted to move “extremely fast” on Sharia-compliant mortgages in the months leading up to the April 28 election, despite concerns from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) that the financial structure conflicted with tax laws, liability rules, and existing mortgage insurance policies.
Less than a quarter of Britons think Muslim migration is a net positive to the United Kingdom and a clear majority say Islam is not compatible with British values, a study finds.
Britons are sceptical on the contribution of Muslim-faith migrants to the United Kingdom compared to arrivals from other faith groups, a survey conducted by major pollster YouGov finds. Among the key findings are that 41 per cent of respondents say Muslim immigrants have a negative impact on the United Kingdom while only 24 per cent say they have an overall positive effect.

Veteran police in Canada still remember the days when officers, stunned that a colleague had taken a gun off the street, would gather to have a look at the firearm.
“It would fly through the station,” said Paul Krawczyk, an inspector with the integrated guns and gangs task force of the Toronto Police Service, Canada’s largest metropolitan police force.
Seizing firearms is now a routine, and growing, part of the job for Canadian police, especially in Toronto. This week marked the grim anniversary of a mass shooting in 2018 in a bustling east Toronto neighborhood called Danforth. Two people — a teenager, Reese Fallon, 18, and a child, Julianna Kozis, 10 — were killed and 13 others were injured.
The Danforth Attack was not a run of the mill mass shooting, it was a Muslim Terror attack covered up by authorities.
BOMBSHELL: Investigative reporter @ScooperCooper drops never reported details regarding the Danforth Shooter’s ISIS connections back in 2018, and the cover up that followed by the Trudeau government, police and mainstream media. #cdnpolipic.twitter.com/khsc4l6pnU
Alberta immigrants say they’re seeing an uptick in anger, rise of racist narratives
Alberta resident Shamaila Akram says she can handle the increase in racial slurs and derogatory comments being thrown at her, but she worries about her newcomer and immigrant clients.
As debates unfold over Canada’s immigration system, those who provide help to newcomers in Alberta say there has been an uptick of hostility toward immigrants.
“I hear from people in my own communities — women specifically who wear hijabs — many bad things and we realize there is a need to educate people,” said Akram, with Calgary’s Centre for Newcomers.

Supporters of a pro-Gaza independent MP are terrorising people in a West Yorkshire town, the local Tory leader has claimed.
Qadeer Ghafoor, the chairman of the Dewsbury Tories in West Yorkshire, has claimed he and his family have been personally threatened after falling out with some of the supporters over a business dispute.
After reporting the claims to police, Mr Ghafoor, 34, was advised by officers to move out of his home for a night and install a panic alarm so he could call for immediate help if he was attacked.
‘Intimidation campaign’ by supporters of pro-Gaza MP leaves town in terror
An armed police officer who kicked a suspect in the head during an alleged brawl at Manchester Airport was ‘an uncontrolled bully with a badge’, a court was told today.
Police Constable Zachary Marsden had ‘defied protocol, ethics, procedure and the law’ in the confrontation at the pay station area of Terminal Two at Manchester Airport last July, the jury heard.
The trial at Liverpool Crown Court has heard PC Marsden – along with PCs Ellie Cook and Lydia Ward – were involved in the fracas with brothers Mohammed Fahir Amaaz, 20, and Muhammed Amaad, 26.

A shocking revelation has emerged implicating Bangladeshi expatriate workers in the covert collection of funds for Islamic State (ISIS), Al Qaeda, and other terrorist outfits.
This development raises urgent concerns across countries with large Bangladeshi migrant populations, including Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, the United States, and nations in the European Union. Even more alarmingly, many of these workers are not ethnic Bangladeshis, but Rohingyas and “stranded Pakistanis” (Biharis) who obtained Bangladeshi passports through illegal channels.
