In the year 1095, at the Council of Clermont, Pope Urban II called on the peoples of Christendom to liberate Jerusalem from Muslim occupation. “Deus vult!” the cry arose. God wills it. Christendom answered.
Islam and violence
“We Will Use Your Democracy to Destroy Your Democracy”
Years before ISIS existed, the Islamist cleric Omar Bakri Mohammed reportedly told journalist Patrick Goodenough something that seems to be willfully ignored by the vast majority of people in the West:
“We will use your democracy to destroy your democracy.”
In one sentence, Bakri identified the vulnerability at the heart of a free society.
The Muslim March to Power
The late Jimmy Carter had his good qualities – or so, at least, they tell me – but when it came to Judaism and Islam he was easily the most problematic of presidents. It was his fecklessness that caused the Iranian hostage crisis – which, in turn, led to his 1980 landslide loss to Ronald Reagan. During his long post-presidential period, he used his Carter Center – funded largely by Arabs – to interfere inappropriately in world affairs. For decades, he shilled for the Palestinians, smeared the Israelis, promoted international recognition of Hamas, and, in 2015, laid a wreath on Arafat’s grave.

Two men who were arrested over a suspected terror plot near RAF Fairford have been rearrested on suspicion of assisting Iran’s intelligence service.
Counter Terrorism Policing (CTP) said it was ‘highly likely that there is Iranian state involvement’ in the activity that took place close to the airbase in Gloucestershire on September 27.
A 24-year-old UK national and a 25-year-old dual UK-Iranian national, both from the borough of Westminster, London, were rearrested today on suspicion of assisting a foreign intelligence service under Section 3 of the National Security Act 2023.
Canadian Man Sentenced to 50 Years in Prison for Committing an ISIS-Inspired Assault While in Prison for Plotting Terrorist Attack on New York City
WILLIAMSPORT — Abdulrahman El Bahnasawy, 28, of Ontario, Canada, was sentenced today to 50 years in prison for offenses related to a 2020 attack on correctional officers at U.S. Penitentiary Allenwood, announced U.S Attorney Brian Miller. This sentence will run consecutive to the 40-year sentence he is currently serving for his role in plotting a mass-casualty terrorist attack in New York City on behalf of ISIS.
“Bahnasawy, who is already serving a 40-year sentence in federal prison for plotting mass casualty attacks in New York City on behalf of ISIS, savagely attacked corrections officers once again on behalf of ISIS,” said Assistant Attorney General for National Security John A. Eisenberg. “Today’s sentence will further ensure that Bahnasawy remains in prison, where he can do much less harm, for a very long time.”
1 in 3 Minnesota Gang Members are Somali Muslims
The rash of Somali gang shootings in Minnesota went national after shots were fired outside a homecoming game at a suburban high school sending students and families running for their lives.
The Eden Prairie High School shooting was linked to a rash of other alleged Somali gang shootings in St. Louis Park, Columbia Heights and Burnsville. Only last year, pro-crime DA Mary Moritarty, had falsely claimed that there are no “roving Somali gangs terrorizing people.”
‘Islamist bomb threats from outside the UK’ close schools across Scotland and Northern Ireland
Hundreds of schools across Northern Ireland and Scotland have closed after receiving a bomb threat.
The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) said ‘up to 300’ institutions were emailed the threat – which is believed to be a hoax – adding it came from outside the UK.
Paul Givan, Stormont’s education minister, said the warning was signed ‘Allahu Akbar’ but was not understood to be viable.
Report traces alleged Muslim Brotherhood influence in Canada
A new report alleges that the Muslim Brotherhood is infiltrating Canadian institutions through various non-profit organizations and universities, a trend that it frames as part of a broader transnational ideological strategy.
In a sprawling 200-page study, the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy (ISGAP) argues that, through an organized campaign of pro-Palestinian activism and anti-Islamophobia rhetoric, the Brotherhood and other groups are helping to foment antisemitism in Canada. The organizations, the report alleges, are often funded through highly sophisticated financial channels that run through Qatar, and have embedded themselves in some of Canada’s biggest universities.
Revealed: the ‘Palestine poppy’ creator who justified stoning
The creator of the ‘Palestine poppy’ is an Oxford-educated paediatrician who has written books for Muslim teenagers justifying stoning and warning that homosexuality is ‘a test from Allah’. Abdul Qader Ismail was accused of trying to ‘hijack’ Remembrance Day after he began selling an enamel pin shaped like a poppy in the colours of the Palestinian flag for £1.78 on eBay. The pin is listed as ‘not for profit’ with money being donated to Gaza charities. The Spectator can now reveal that Ismail is an active member of Greens for Palestine and co-sponsored the group’s ‘Zionism is Racism’ policy. He is also the author of a book series titled An Introduction to Challenging Topics for Muslim Teens.
Here’s How Ilhan Omar Could Face Denaturalization
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) had a brutal week, and it could get a lot worse. Last Monday, Homeland Security Investigations agents raided her home in the Washington, D.C., area as part of what Fox News described as a criminal fraud investigation into her immigration status.
DHS Secretary Mullin reveals Ilhan Omar investigation goes far deeper with ‘multiple warrants’ served… as Obama lashes out against Trump
Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin revealed that ‘multiple warrants’ were executed at Ilhan Omar’s home in a single day, as Barack Obama mounted a stunning defense of the Minnesota congresswoman.
Mullin, 49, gave limited details regarding the ongoing investigation into the Democratic representative as he appeared on the Charlie Kirk Show on Friday.
‘All I can say is one, yes we served a warrant, I can’t say that it was on a specific person or not but she wasn’t or it wasn’t the only place we served a warrant there was multiple other warrants served on that same day,’ he said.
I hope her entire family rots in jail.

Ilhan Omar Has a New Problem, and It Came From Her Sister’s Phone
According to a report from the New York Times, messages pulled from a phone seized from Omar’s sister gave investigators what they needed to get inside the congresswoman’s home. The paper laid out the details this week, citing three people familiar with the matter.
UN Conference Reveals Non-Muslim Child Abuse in Pakistan
On July 26, 2025, a 13-year-old Pakistani Christian child, Maria Shahbaz, was abducted by a 30-year-old Muslim man near her home. She was forcibly converted to Islam and married to her abductor. Police in Lahore delayed the filing of the family’s first information report (FIR) and influenced the judge to dismiss their abduction complaint.
On July 31, 2025, the Model Town court of Judicial Magistrate Hassan Sarfaraz Cheema awarded custody of Shahbaz to her captor after accepting falsified documents claiming she was 18 years old.
Islam’s Welcoming Not-for-Profit Organizations
Growing up in Islamic societies in Iran and Syria, all of us could see that there is not even an iota of chance that any Islamist organization or mosque could exist as truly non-political or apolitical.
In schools and at university, we were taught that Islam differs fundamentally from other religions and spiritual practices. Whereas Christianity and Judaism allow for private faith and a separation between religion and state, Islam does not. From its inception in the seventh century, Islam was political. It was not a private spiritual matter. It was about creating a universal government run by Allah. Everything in society must be ordered by Sharia — what they call Allah’s law or God’s law.
