Years of bad immigration policy are finally seeing their comeuppance.
The inflammable cocktail of immigration, crime, real or alleged racism, hard-handed police tactics, and fiery left-wing politicians is again exploding in France’s face. Never before, however, has the c-word — “civil war” — been bandied about so openly.
Two Edmonton women were arrested after returning to Canada from a prison camp for ISIS families in Syria, the RCMP confirmed on Friday.
Helena Carson and Dina Kalouti were taken into custody upon arriving at Montreal-Trudeau airport.
Scumbag converts too. Pity we don’t execute traitors.
For centuries, the Irish fought British Protestants and, eventually, southern Ireland prevailed to become the independent Republic of Ireland. However, there’s a new theocratic overlord headed their way, and they don’t seem inclined to fight this time. Preemptive surrender appears to be the chosen pathway, at least for those people in Galway who were told the most common boy’s first name in their city.
‘Dealers told the rioters to stop the violence so that they could resume drug dealing’
It wasn’t President Macron who brought six days of rioting in France to an end, nor the brave bands of mothers who called for calm in some of the inner-city estates. It wasn’t even the presence of 45,000 police and gendarmes on the streets that persuaded the rioters, arsonists, vandals and looters to stand down. Instead, it seems that it was the drug gangs who decided enough is enough. Having so many boys in blue patrolling the streets was bad for business and so gang leaders exerted their influence and ordered the young hoodlums back to their bedrooms.
I have wondered at the sudden de-escalation.
Following the killing of a 17-year-old boy, France is once again the scene of riots that reflect the gulf between traditional France and the suburbs — the result of immigration over the last 40 years.
Nahel Merzouk was killed by police. He was being chased in Nanterre, near Paris, by two policemen on a motorcycle for traffic violations and refusal to stop the car he was driving. After Merzouk was forced to stop the car due to traffic congestion, the policemen approached his car and drew their weapons. Merzouk then drove off, at which point one of the policemen fired his weapon at the car, fatally wounding Merzouk. If Merzouk had followed the orders of the police, he would not have died.
The suspects arrested in Germany had also been collecting money for Islamic State since April 2022 and repeatedly transferred it to the group abroad.
German police arrested seven people on Thursday on suspicion of founding a terrorist organization with the aim of carrying out high-profile attacks similar to Islamic State, prosecutors said.
The Turkmen, Tajik, and Kyrgyz nationals arrested in the western German state of North Rhine-Westphalia had known each other for a long time and entered the country from Ukraine shortly after the war began in 2022, said prosecutors.
A gang member behind the savage ‘honour’ killing of a young woman who rejected an arranged marriage, dramatised in a TV show starring Keeley Hawes, is still too dangerous to be released and deported, it’s been ruled.
Mohamad Hama, then 30, is serving life after being found guilty of murder as part of a gang of thugs who tortured, raped and strangled 20-year-old Banaz Mahmod, in January 2006.
Two Pakistani men have today been jailed for life in Greece for gang-raping a British 18-year-old woman on her sunbed after she went for a morning swim on holiday.
The two men, aged 27 and 24, raped the Briton, who has not been named, on a beach in Rethymno, a city on the north coast of Crete, in July 2022.

Two Canadian women and three children on way home from detention camps in Syria
OTTAWA – Two women and three children who were temporarily missing in Syria after failing to board a repatriation flight to Canada in April are finally on their way home.
The women and children were among a group of 19 people Canada agreed to bring home from Kurdish-operated prison camps in northeastern Syria in January.
They have been held for years at displaced persons camps in a region now controlled by the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces.
Stupid move allowing murder cultists into your home.
Last summer, Sir Salman Rushdie told a German magazine that some normality was finally returning to his life. Two weeks later, he was stabbed multiple times on stage in New York. The incident was a cruel reminder that, despite all the time elapsed and normality resumed, the fatwa against him was every bit as valid as the day it was announced: Valentine’s Day, 1989.
A spectre is haunting Europe. In France, Sweden, Germany, Belgium and even Switzerland, the rule of law is being challenged by the rule of gangs. Disaffected young people cut off from society feel nothing but nihilistic contempt for it. Higher temperatures and social media are creating a heated summer. Judging from recent events in Paris and Stockholm, this year could be the worst so far.
The rise of gang violence is associated with immigration. Europe has shown itself incapable or unwilling to control the influx of migrants, some of them genuine asylum seekers, others simply opportunists. Nor have European politicians succeeded in dealing with the problems created by immigration, despite spending billions on social projects. A European summit on immigration in Brussels last week ended without even a joint declaration. Emmanuel Macron was unable to attend. He was preoccupied with riots across France, following the fatal police shooting of Nahel Merzouk, a 17-year-old boy, in suburban Paris
Last week we learned that a woman in a park in Skegness was dragged into the bushes and raped by a 33-year-old male. The man had arrived in the UK illegally on a small boat just 40 days earlier.
Strangely, I can find little anger about this. The story was reported in a couple of papers but there were no fulminating editorials or emergency questions in the House. Jess Phillips hasn’t found room to grandstand about it. Nor have Yvette Cooper, Stella Creasy or any of those other Labour MPs who like to shake their heads in disgust as the Home Secretary explains that the British taxpayers can’t forever foot the hotel bills of illegal migrants.
In 2014, thousands of Yazidi women and children were enslaved by the Islamic State (IS) group in Iraq and Syria. Their fellow Yazidis launched a rescue effort almost immediately, but nearly a decade later, their task is still unfinished.
In November 2015, Bahar and her three young children had just been sold for the fifth time.
She had been one of many Yazidi women taken prisoner by IS, who had swept into her village in the Sinjar district of northern Iraq 18 months earlier. A religious minority living in Iraq for nearly 6,000 years, the Yazidis were considered infidels by the IS fighters.
Radical youth movements are mobilising across the nation
While France’s week of violent riots at first seems a retread of the banlieue uprising of 2005, in one respect it has displayed a new development, under-discussed in Anglophone media, which was absent a generation ago. Namely, the first evidence of a Right-wing counter-mobilisation against the rioters. In provincial cities like Lyon, Angers and Chambéry, groups of masked and hooded youths have appeared, dressed in black and armed with batons and pepper spray, to confront the rioters and the Left-wing demonstrators supporting them.
I saw a couple of videos purporting to show such activity but was unable to vet them. The military has launched an investigation after “rumours” began to circulate that soldiers from a nearby base masked up and delivered bound rioters to the police in Lorient – Riots: the army opens an investigation into the supposed help of marine commandos to the police in Lorient
In six nights, the rioters have already caused over €1 billion worth of damage.
After a week of race riots the likes of which haven’t been seen in France for decades, the urban violence that engulfed more than 220 towns and cities across the country has exacted a colossal human and material cost, leaving thousands of cars, buses, and trams torched, hundreds of buildings destroyed, and hundreds of law enforcement officers injured.
In a report published on Monday, June 3rd, by the Ministry of the Interior that quantified the extent of the material damage and the number of arrests that occurred in the previous six nights, it was revealed that more than 5,600 vehicles were set ablaze, some 1,300 buildings were damaged or destroyed, and more than 3,300 arrests were made across the country.
