The Belgian municipality of Molenbeek, a town in the greater Brussels area, is organizing Molenfest 2025 as a run-up for their bid to become one of the EU’s cultural capitals in 2030 (ECOC30).
The festival celebrates the diversity of the town’s population (140 nationalities make up the almost 100 thousand inhabitants), but many now dare ask the question whether that is a good thing.
Pro-Palestinian activists are disrupting one of America’s most powerful tech giants.
Pro-Palestinian activists have found a new target: Microsoft. Radicals have disrupted the company’s keynote speech; organized encampments and other demonstrations at its headquarters; sent a kayak “flotilla” to the homes of Microsoft executives; and staged an “occupation” of Microsoft president Brad Smith’s office, where they allegedly tried to plant listening devices.
The leader of the campaign is No Azure for Apartheid, a group of current and former Microsoft employees. The group, whose name references the company’s cloud-computing platform, has called on Microsoft to terminate its Azure contracts with the Israeli government, publicly endorse a ceasefire, pay reparations to Palestinians, and “ensure the safety of Palestinian, Arab, Muslim and allied employees.”
At least nine pigs’ heads were found outside several mosques in the Paris region on Tuesday, the city’s police chief said, prompting alarm over rising anti-Muslim hatred.
“Pigs’ heads have been left in front of certain mosques … Four in Paris and five in the inner suburbs,” Laurent Nuñez told a press conference, adding that officers were not “ruling out the possibility of finding more”.
Police have opened an investigation into incitement to hatred aggravated by racial or religious discrimination, Nuñez said, calling the acts “despicable”.
A judge has been criticised for wishing a mastermind of the 7/7 London bombings “all the best” upon his release.
Mr Justice Jay made the remarks at a High Court hearing before Haroon Aswat’s release despite fears that he remains a threat.
Court documents show that Aswat, of Batley, West Yorkshire, confessed to being a “mastermind behind the 9/11 attacks and a 2005 terrorist attack in the UK”.
Germany is experiencing a new migration conundrum. While judges are overwhelmed by tens of thousands of new appeals against asylum decisions, only a handful of Syrians—fewer than 2,000 out of nearly one million living in the country—have requested official assistance to return to their homeland, despite the fall of Bashar al-Assad having been celebrated as the condition that would make their return possible.
The first half of 2025 brought a record number, 76,646 lawsuits by migrants initiated before administrative courts, more than in all of 2023 (71,885) and three-quarters of the 2024 level. Densely populated states such as North Rhine-Westphalia (13,304), Bavaria (11,412), and Lower Saxony (over 11,000) account for much of this surge.
Cabinet’s $191,000-a-year Special Representative on Combating Islamophobia insists she had no correspondence with the Muslim Association of Canada, despite being photographed at the group’s June 6 conference where its chair accused Israel of committing genocide.
“No records exist,” Amira Elghawaby’s office said in response to an Access To Information request seeking all communication with the Association following the event.
At the People’s Conference for Palestine, Michigan representative Rashida Tlaib appeared alongside convicted killers and speakers who glorified Hamas.
A strain of thought has gained popularity in progressive circles that’s fairly summarized by this post on X: “If there’s a Nazi at the table and ten other people sitting there talking to him, you got a table with eleven Nazis.” The principle is that some views are so abhorrent that failing to challenge them on any given occasion is tantamount to accepting them.
This line of thinking should raise an uncomfortable question for Israel bashers. What does it mean when a sitting member of Congress speaks at a conference attended by hundreds of terrorism sympathizers?
“The Ikhwan (Arabic for “brethren”) must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the western civilization from within and ‘sabotaging’ its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers (Muslims) so that it is eliminated and God’s religion (Islam) is made victorious over all other religions.”
This disturbing excerpt formed part of a 1991 strategic memo that outlined the Muslim Brotherhood’s plans to conquer North America. It was produced as evidence in the Holy Land Foundation case, the largest terror-financing trial in United States history.
Omar al-Bayoumi was arrested in Birmingham days after the atrocity. But police were never given crucial evidence by the FBI
Scotland Yard was forced to release an alleged Saudi intelligence officer who provided financial backing and support to the 9/11 hijackers after the FBI failed to share crucial evidence.
The Sunday Times can today reveal that counterterrorism officers who interviewed Omar al-Bayoumi after he was arrested in Birmingham — ten days after two aircraft crashed into the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York — were never given a potentially damning document and video linking him to the attacks.
Very strange revelation. Someone wanted this hidden.
For years, Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has been synonymous with the brutal silencing of dissent, turning his country into one of the world’s largest prisons for journalists. Today, shockingly, Bangladesh — once hailed as a moderate Muslim democracy — is following the same dangerous path under the unelected, military-backed rule of Nobel laureate Muhammad Yunus.
The jihadist group Boko Haram has killed more than 60 people in an overnight attack in Nigeria’s north-eastern Borno State, local officials say.
On Friday night militants struck the village of Darul Jamal, home to a military base on the Nigeria-Cameroon border, killing at least five soldiers.
The Nigerian Air Force said it killed 30 militants in strikes after receiving reports of the raid on the village, where residents had recently returned following years of displacement.
Dearborn Heights, Michigan, Mayor Bill Bazzi announced Friday that the new Arabic police patch was not “official” — but didn’t rule out adopting such a badge of surrender in the future.
A Facebook post from the police department posted earlier this week read: “The Dearborn Heights Police Department [DHPD] is proud to share a new optional patch that our officers may wear as part of their uniform,” according to Fox News.
Please tell me this isn’t true. @fancypants_s https://t.co/NazkrqEEVM

Why were UK cops so eager to cover up Muslim grooming gang sex trafficking and assaults on young girls?
At least one father was threatened with arrest when he tried to save his daughter from the Muslim sex grooming gangs. When police officers entered a room where underage girls were drunk and being assaulted by Muslim men, they arrested the girls, not the men. The cover-up continued a long time. Why?
Every mainstream party running in Cologne’s local elections this month has agreed not to criticise immigration. Those bound by the so-called fairness agreement say they will not depict asylum seekers or migrants in a ‘negative’ light. Candidates are also warned not to ‘exploit’ migration as an electoral issue.
A Moroccan court on Wednesday, September 3rd, sentenced feminist and LGBT rights activist Ibtissame Lachgar to two and a half years in prison, accusing her of “attacking the Islamic religion” after she posted a photo on social media wearing a T-shirt with a message deemed “offensive to God.”
The Rabat Court of First Instance also ordered Lachgar to pay a fine of nearly 50,000 dirhams (about €4,700).
