The Persecution of Christians, December 2024
Ahmed al-Sharaa, jihadist warlord and current leader of Syria, swiftly turning into an Islamic state, confessed in a Dec. 17 interview that, “When we build the Islamic caliphate, Christians will pay Jizya under Islamic Sharia.” — X.com, December 17, 2024.
A prominent Sikh group has called on the home secretary to extend her grooming gangs inquiry claiming that non-Muslim girls have been considered “fair game” by some perpetrators.
The Network of Sikh Organisations UK (NSO) has written to Yvette Cooper urging her to allow the review to examine race and religion as “contributing factors in these terrible crimes”.
VANCOUVER — British Columbia climate activist Zain Haq and his wife Sophia Papp are planning to live together in Pakistan if his threatened deportation proceeds on Saturday, and blame his imminent expulsion on bureaucratic failings by immigration officials.

We need mass deportations.
The media was furious that the Trump administration had temporarily suspended incoming ‘refugee’ flights from Afghanistan. It barraged us with stories about the 1,600 Afghans whose flights were canceled to come here. This came shortly after an Afghan refugee stabbed a child to death in Germany.

Axel Rudakubana was referred to an anti-extremism programme three times but his obsession with mass shootings was dismissed as an ‘interest in world news’
Counterterrorism officers believed Axel Rudakubana had an interest in world news and current affairs but no cause or political belief and was “not in danger of being radicalised”, a Home Office review has found.
A redacted version of the report into decisions made by the northwest of England’s Prevent team in the Southport killer’s case is due to be released. It exposes serious failings in the officers’ approach to the violent extremist.
On Thursday Rudakubana, 18, was sentenced to a minimum of 52 years for the murders of three girls in a knife attack described in court as “shocking” and “pure evil”. The Sunday Times understands that Rudakubana was given a three-year discount to his sentence for pleading guilty. The families and politicians have expressed anger that he fell short of a full-life tariff due to him being 17 at the time of the murders.
Somali-born Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar decided to lecture Americans on Wednesday about what it means to be “American,” calling an immigration law signed by President John Adams “un-American.” But her comments only prove why some foreigners should never hold office in the United States.
President Donald Trump said during his inaugural address that he would invoke the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to protect Americans from “foreign gangs and criminal networks.” The act allows the president to deport foreigners of an enemy nation. But Omar condemned the act as “un-American.” Yes, a Somali immigrant is telling Americans that one of America’s founders, John Adams, was acting in a way that was “un-American.”
This is sound advice.
An important rule for building walls is to know when you are walling someone out and when you are walling yourself in. Friedrich Merz, the leader of Germany’s conservative CDU and likely next chancellor, is about to find this out the hard way. After two people — including a two-year-old child — were killed in a stabbing incident in the Bavarian town of Aschaffenburg and three more seriously injured, the German public is understandably angry.
Azerbaijan’s government authorities refuse to release the Armenian hostages whom they have illegally held and abused since they captured them in 2020 and 2023.
On January 17, Azerbaijan began trials of 16 Armenian captives — including the former leaders of Artsakh (Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh) — in military courtrooms, to which international media and observers have been denied access.
Within moments of returning to the Oval Office on Monday, President Donald Trump got to work signing a flurry of executive orders. One of them is focused on “protecting the United States from Foreign Terrorists and other national security and public safety threats.”

President Trump’s long-promised ICE raids continued on Thursday — as the total number of illegal migrants nabbed by federal authorities reached 538, including new arrests of pedophiles, gang members, and a suspected terrorist in New York.
US Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers are scouring cities and states, trying to round up illegal aliens who are either wanted for crimes in their home country or who have committed crimes during their time in the US.
A source told The Post that many of the migrants rounded up by agents were convicted in “some very heinous cases.”
A man has been jailed for 30 years for attempting to murder two people with a meat cleaver outside the former Paris offices of Charlie Hebdo in 2020.
Zaheer Mahmood, 29, from Pakistan, attacked and badly wounded two employees of the Premieres Lignes news agency, days after Charlie Hebdo had republished cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad.
He was unaware Charlie Hebdo had moved offices to a secret location after 12 people were killed there in a gun attack claimed by al-Qaeda following the original publication of the cartoons in 2015.
Is it really Jeff Bezos’s fault that Axel Rudakubana did what he did? The teenager was stopped on multiple occasions with a knife, including one he bought on Amazon, prompting a fresh round of silly headlines about new controls on knife sales. These have been widely denounced as deflection, and there is indeed something about the Rudakubana story that feels off. In particular, Keir Starmer’s insistence on the suspect’s lone-wolf status and pivot to “knife control” is driving a proliferation of conspiratorial thinking. But is there really a sinister cover-up?
Aschaffenburg attack: German mayor warns against ‘hatred’
,,,, Police have taken a 28-year-old man from Afghanistan into custody over the attack.
The suspect had a past of violent behavior and was receiving psychiatric treatment, according to police. Moreover, he had said he would leave Germany voluntarily in December but stayed in the country while still getting psychiatric help.
I now believe that “mental illness” means “devout Muslim”.
Rights groups warn Trump executive order would restore Muslim ‘travel ban’
WASHINGTON, Jan 22 (Reuters) – U.S. civil rights groups are warning that an executive order signed by President Donald Trump on Monday lays the groundwork for reinstatement of a ban on travelers from predominantly Muslim or Arab countries.
The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) said the new order relied on the same statutory authority used to justify Trump’s 2017 travel ban and offered even “wider latitude to use ideological exclusion to deny visa requests and remove individuals” who had already entered the country. It unveiled a new 24-hour hotline (844-232-9955) to help those affected.
