This book, which appeared first in English, has already been translated into several other languages, but it is a special pleasure to see it published in Polish. My father’s parents were both Polish, although they came from municipalities that, in their time, were located in the Austrian Empire and that are now part of Ukraine, not far from the Polish border. My grandfather was a native of the Galician town of Brody; my grandmother was raised in the Galician city of Krystynopol (now Chervonohrad). He emigrated to America before World War I; she left her childhood home – which was blasted half to bits during exchanges of gunfire between the Central Powers and the Russians – during the war, traveling all alone at the age of fifteen and waiting for several months in Rotterdam until it was determined that the shipping route was safe from German mines.
“Islamophobia”
U.N.: Iran Electrocuting Children to Prevent Them from Being Gay
The United Nations (U.N.) has condemned reports from Iran that LGBT youth suffer electric shocks and other mistreatment from state authorities, saying the practices amount to “torture,” the Jerusalem Post reported on Friday.
The U.N. is “concerned at recent reports that lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender children [LGBT] were subjected to electric shocks and the administration of hormones and strong psychoactive medications,” in Iran.
Germany: Mohammedan asylum seeker charged in Dresden knife attack motivated by Islam’s hate of homosexuality
German federal prosecutors charged a Syrian national suspected of stabbing two men last yearin the eastern city of Dresden, German media outlets reported Thursday.
The 20-year-old suspect is said to have been motivated by a radical Islamist ideology, and targeted the couple because they were homosexual, prosecutors say.

Fourteen Mohammedans arrested in Germany and Denmark over terror plot
Fourteen people have been arrested in Denmark and Germany on suspicion of preparing one or several attacks in the two countries, Danish police said.
Officers added that the discovery of a so-called Isis group flag could indicate the suspects “have a connection or sympathy with the terror organisation”.
Flemming Drejer, operative head of Denmark’s Security and Intelligence Service, said the findings were “worrying” but “it is our assessment that there was no imminent danger”.
Marine Le Pen denies breaking hate speech laws by tweeting images of ISIS atrocities, declaring the trial as a political attempt to silence her as she surges in opinion polls
French far-right presidential hopeful Marine Le Pen has denied breaking hate speech laws by tweeting ‘monstrous’ pictures of ISIS atrocities in a trial she slammed as a politically motivated attempt to silence her.
The leader of the National Rally party appeared in a Paris court today after she was accused of spreading hate by publicising the images of James Foley, an American journalist who was murdered by the terrorist group in 2014.
Family of girl, 12, forced to marry Mohammedan abductor who chained her in a cattle pen, condemn Pakistan authorities for inaction
The family of a 12-year-old girl in Pakistan who was chained up in a cattle pen for more than six months, after allegedly being kidnapped and forced to marry her abductor, have attacked the authorities for refusing to act.
The case is among those now being examined by a government inquiry into the forced conversions of religious minority women and girls, after police released the man, saying they believed the girl had married him of her own free will.
The child was taken from her home in Faisalabad last June and had been held at the home of 29-year-old Khizer Hayat, where she was made to work clearing animal dung. Her family are angry that no further action has been taken against the man.
Islamists want to scare us into submission
A French philosophy teacher has been put under police protection after he paid tribute to slain teacher Samuel Paty.
Indonesia: Two Christian men are publicly flogged 40 times each for breaking Sharia law by drinking alcohol and gambling
Two Christian men were publicly flogged today in Indonesia’s ultra-conservative Aceh province for drinking alcohol and gambling, in a rare case of non-Muslims facing a punishment frequently condemned by rights groups.
The two accused received 40 lashes each from a masked sharia officer who beat their backs with a stick.
One of them, identified only as JF, said he chose flogging to avoid a criminal prosecution that could have seen him jailed up to six months.
If the New War on Terror Is Fought Like the Last One…
CIA agent Kevin Carroll wants a new war on terror. He wrote Monday: “We defeated al Qaeda and can do the same to the fascist thugs who attacked our democracy last month. But only if we take similar hard measures against the enemy within.” Trump supporters were offended by this, but it’s actually the best idea anyone has had since Donald Trump decided to go down that escalator and run for president.
Turkish President Erdogan says there is ‘no such thing as LGBT’
Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said there is ‘no such thing as LGBT’ after activists clashed with police during a month-long protest at an Istanbul university.
‘The LGBT, there is no such thing,’ Erdoğan said during a televised address to his ruling Justice and Development Party (AK) on Wednesday.
‘This country is… moral, and it will walk to the future with these values.’
Raped and Murdered: Christian Girls in Pakistan
Keeping up with the abuse of Christian girls by Muslims in Pakistan has become exceedingly difficult. Hardly does one story of abduction, enslavement, rape, forced conversion, torture or murder appear, before another follows it — and another, and another. Although of course, needless to say, not all Muslim men regard non-Muslim girls and women this way, unfortunately many there still seem to. Some recent examples include:
The bloated bodies of two Christian sisters who had long rebuffed the advances of their Muslim employers, were found in a sewer in January 2021. Earlier, on November 26, the sisters, Sajida (28) and Abida (26), who were both married and had children, were reported as missing. The two Muslim men for whom they worked had regularly pressured them to convert to Islam and marry them. Even though the young women “made it clear that they were Christian and married, the men threatened them and kept harassing the sisters.”
Trappes France: Teacher describes living in a “Lost city” under police protection due to threats by Muslims … “Many of these children are raised in hatred of France”
Philosophy teacher in Trappes: “It’s a lost city (…) We don’t have much time before things degenerate (…) We need emergency laws”. Threatened with death, he asks for his “exfiltration” ( Note Google Translate)
After calling for resistance to the Islamist threat in November 2020, Didier Lemaire, professor of philosophy at Trappes, is placed under police protection.
Didier Lemaire has been professor of philosophy at Trappes for nearly 20 years. Two decades during which he taught with passion despite the difficulty of this terrain classified as a priority area. Two decades during which he saw this city of the Parisian suburbs lock itself a little more into religious communitarianism.
In 2018, he wrote a letter with Jean-Pierre Obin (author of the book Comment we let Islamism penetrate the school) to the President of the Republic to urge the government to act to protect the youth from the influence of fundamentalists, and in November 2020 he published an open letter after the beheading of Samuel Paty to denounce the state’s lack of strategy in the face of political Islam.
Today, after twenty years of unfailing commitment, Didier Lemaire is throwing in the towel. Forced to go to work under armed police escort, the teacher expects nothing more than his exfiltration from this establishment and from this city where he is no longer safe.
‘Evidence Of Undeclared Nuclear Activities’ Discovered At Locations In Iran That Raise New Concerns: Report
International inspectors from the United Nations have reportedly found new evidence of nuclear activity in Iran that the nation has not reported—in violation of its international obligations—and that could be indicative of work on making nuclear weapons.
Britain’s ‘Jihad Seeker’s Allowance’
Few relationships feature one party that freely gives and another party that only takes as blatantly as the relationship between the West and Islam. Thus, according to a Feb. 1, 2021 report, “The British taxpayer has shelled out over £15,000 to the widow of the mastermind behind the 2017 London Bridge terror attack, while the families of victims were denied similar financial support.”
During that attack, Zahrah Rehman’s husband, Khuram Butt, and two other Muslims, killed eight people and injured another 48, by running over them with a van and stabbing them with knives. If police had not managed to shoot and kill the three terrorists, many more passersby would likely have been killed.
Human Rights Violations No One Talks About
On January 3, 2021, the Hamas-controlled Palestinian Land Authority (PLA) in the Gaza Strip “removed” three houses — one of which had been inhabited by a family of three — and bulldozed about 30 dunums (7.4 acres) of agricultural land in the as-Salam neighborhood west of the Rafah border crossing with Egypt.
The decision to bulldoze the houses and fields — which came on short notice and did not include direct notifications to those affected by it — inflicted financial damage on farmers and displaced several Palestinians from their houses, according to the Gaza-based Al Mezan Center for Human Rights.
