A woman in Indonesia has been jailed for two years after saying an Islamic prayer before eating pork in a viral TikTok video.
The video showed Lina Lutfiawati, who has more than two million followers, saying a brief prayer that translates to “in the name of God” before eating a piece of crispy pork skin.
Less than an hour from the capital of the European Union, gangs fight gun battles in the streets or bomb each other’s outposts. Crime reporters, police and prosecutors are bought off or killed. Torture cells are set up in shipping containers and bodies can be cleanly disposed of, but when the gangs really want to send a message they set up a public execution or fire off a rocket.
That’s the way things are done, not in Bogota or Beirut, but in Antwerp.
In 2018, the All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on British Muslims proposed the first working definition of Islamophobia in the UK. In its report, Islamophobia Defined, it stated that ‘Islamophobia is rooted in racism and is a type of racism that targets expressions of Muslimness or perceived Muslimness’.
On Sunday, The Washington Post ran an editorial by Allan Lengel, detailing “accusations of betrayal” in a small Michigan community known as Hamtramck, after the city council enacted a ban… prohibiting the display of Pride flags on city property.
Though Democrats have blamed conservative Republicans for the growing outcry from the Muslim community over the radical LGBTQ agenda being forced on children in public schools, the belief still exists among woke leftists that if they continue to play nice they can coexist with—and win over—devoutly religious, socially conservative Muslims who have become disaffected with Democratic Party.

Germany’s secret political police were weaponized against those considered “Islamophobes” by the Home Secretary.
Sigrid Herrmann (SPD) is an expert on political Islam and publishes the blog “Islamism and Society,” where she provides well-founded reports on the main actors and activities of radical Islam in Germany. Herrmann helped reveal the connections between the “charitable organization” Islamic Relief, the Muslim Brotherhood and its Gaza affiliate, Hamas.
Islamic Relief is banned in Israel and the UAE for its terror ties, but was funded by the German government, advertised by German public broadcasters and supported by major German political figures such as President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and Bundestag Vice-President Aydan Özoguz, until Herrmann’s revelations in 2021, when they had to shelve the collaboration.
OTTAWA – An Ontario Superior Court judge has dismissed a major Muslim charity’s bid to halt a Canada Revenue Agency audit, saying it is too early to intervene in the federal examination.
In his ruling, Justice Markus Koehnen said while he is sympathetic to many of the Muslim Association of Canada’s arguments, a court should not involve itself in a government body’s process while it is still playing out.
NICE, France—Nawel Moumen, a 13-year-old French Muslim, was taken aside last spring by the dean of her middle school. The robe-like dress she had on was inappropriate, Moumen recalled the dean saying, because he considered it a religious garment. He warned her she would face detention if she wore it again.
France is expanding the definition of what kinds of clothes are unacceptable under the rules of laïcité, the country’s strict separation of religion and state. For nearly two decades, public schools have barred students from wearing a visible Christian cross, a Jewish kippah, a Muslim headscarf or any other religious symbol deemed ostentatious by school officials.
“It was the week before December 25, midday on a mild Monday, and the muezzins of London were chanting the glory of Allah and how there was no other god but him…”.
This is how “1985”, the prophetic novel by Anthony Burgess, the author of “A Clockwork Orange,” begins. He wrote it in 1978 and it looks like the portrait of the West in 2023. Paradoxical and unpredictable, Burgess, writing in the Guardian of December 31, 1989, wrote that “the old opposition was between the free world and the communist world. The new opposition will not be with atheistic communism, but with fundamentalist Islam…”.

Unlike barbaric nations such as France, Germany and the USA Canada does not believe that women are capable of being real terrorists or doing bad things and besides Islam is a religion of peace.
A Belgian court on Wednesday rejected French terrorist Salah Abdeslam’s request not to be extradited to France, saying that his claim that it would be a breach of his human rights was not “sufficiently substantiated”.
Abdeslam, 33, was transferred to Belgium from France last summer to be tried by a separate Belgian court for his role in two ISIS-claimed attacks in Brussels in 2016 in which 35 people died. He was found guilty in July on all counts and is expected to be sentenced in the coming days.
His lawyers, however, requested in early September that he not be transferred to France to serve a life sentence without parole, the country’s harshest possible sentence, which was issued by a Paris court in June last year.

Gang conflict in Sweden has claimed its youngest victim so far. A 13-year-old boy was found dead in a forest in the Swedish municipality of Haninge on Monday, September 11th.
