Austria’s “Muslim youth” file lawsuit against ‘Islam map’

Muslim Youth Austria (MJO) is filing a lawsuit against the country’s controversial “Map of Political Islam,” the group announced on Saturday.

The map, showing the names and location of over 600 mosques and associations in Austria and their possible links abroad, was unveiled on Thursday.

“The publication of all the names, functions and addresses of Muslim and Muslim-affiliated organizations represents an unprecedented crossing of boundaries,” Muslim Youth Austria said.

Which immigrants to let in? Commonality versus disharmony

The Founders knew that commonality was a great benefit to the Republic. It brought harmony and stability. That is why the 1795 Immigration Act specified that new Americans “be attached to the principles of the United States” as “this leads to good order and harmony.” It introduced the requirement for a “declaration of intention” to be filed before the formal application. They wished to make certain that we only brought in immigrants who loved America and would put America first (you might have heard of that expression) and would screen out all others.

Why the United States Is the Once and Future Unipolar Superpower

The famous Iron Chancellor of Germany, Otto Von Bismarck, once said of the United States, “God protects fools, drunkards and the United States of America.” While said perhaps in jest or frustration, his remarks have proved prophetic throughout the years.

The United States from the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 to the beginning of the Iraq War, enjoyed a moment of unipolarity in international affairs. For the first time in recorded human history, one country occupied the high ground of international affairs by itself.

The many failures of China’s vaccine program

China’s pretense to scientific prowess over the West has been exposed by mixed and questionable results

At the start of the year Sebastián Piñera, president of Chile, went to Santiago airport personally to greet a consignment of vaccines from China. ‘Today is a day of joy, excitement and hope,’ he said from a podium on the tarmac. ‘As you see behind me, there is the plane that brought a shipment of almost two million doses of Sinovac vaccines.’ By April, Chile had suffered one of the worst COVID surges in Latin America. The joy and hope, it seemed, had been misplaced.

Amid a surge in hate crimes, prominent European Jews worry the war against antisemitism has been lost

“… Antisemitic incidents were already rising in Europe before the 11-day conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza that ended with more than 230 Palestinian and 12 Israeli fatalities. With the start of the hostilities, Europeans began bracing for antisemitic activity that tends to accompany Middle East tensions. It’s known on the continent as “the import of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.”

Without Dirty Mining, You Can’t Make Clean Cars

The U.S. needs to ramp up lithium production if it wants to compete with China in the electric vehicle race.

Before the November election, candidate Joe Biden’s campaign let it be known that the Democratic nominee would part ways with environmental activists by supporting mining in the United States for technologies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Unnamed sources from Team Biden told Reuters, “A Biden administration would emphasize green energy, and in order to get more solar panels, you need more raw materials. These materials don’t come out of a test tube.”

Daily Mail goes insane every time Trump’s name is mentioned.

Conrad Black: We bought into the vision of a bilingual Canada, but Quebec’s cultural elite betrayed us

Quebec’s Bill 96, which was featured in this column last week, like its predecessors, Bill 22 (1974, Bourassa) and Bill 101 (1977, Levesque), is opening up questions of the nature of Canadian Confederation. To civil libertarians, it is profoundly offensive to have a government regulating the size of different languages displayed on outdoor advertising and in-store products, and restricting access to schools on the basis of language. The whole idea of segregating linguistic groups in an officially bilingual country, and particularly of restricting the access of French-speaking secondary school and university students to English-language institutions, is deeply offensive.

Two people are killed and at least 25 injured after three gunmen fired ‘indiscriminately’ into crowd at Miami-Dade rap concert

Two people have died and up to another 25 left injured after gunmen fired indiscriminately into a crowd gathered for a concert in south Florida in the early hours of this morning.

Just after midnight three people armed with assault rifles and handguns pulled up to the El Mula Banquet Hall in Northwest Miami-Dade in a white SUV and began shooting.

The banquet hall in the Hialeah area had been rented out for the concert and some concert-goers were outside when the gunmen stepped out the Nissan Pathfinder vehicle and gunfire erupted.

Why no suspect descriptions?


Meanwhile in Canada…

Modern vs. Postmodern

Jews across the West must defend themselves within a culture that has increasingly replaced evidence with narrative.

It’s not clear who won the recent war in Gaza. We probably won’t know the answer to that question until we’re able to judge how many months of peace Israel has been able to purchase. In the interim, we’re left with memes about Israeli “white privilege” that have taken hold in pop culture.

After 1,000 bombs were dropped over 11 days of fighting, the Israeli Defense Forces say that they “killed at least 225 Gaza-based terrorists.” More than two-thirds of those killed were terrorists, and the IDF has the evidence to prove it. Roughly 60 of the dead were civilians, some killed by the 35 percent of Iranian-designed rockets fired by Hamas that fell short and landed within Gaza. The UN estimates higher civilian casualties.
