Detained Columbia University protester Mahmoud Khalil hid his ties to the controversial United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees on his visa application, the feds have alleged.
Lawyers for the Department of Justice lodged new accusations against the anti-Israel campus protest leader in court papers over the weekend, arguing that they should be grounds for his deportation.
Is there any public benefit to the “advancement of religion”? Under the Charities Act 2011, places of worship can achieve charitable status if they demonstrate that their activities are for the public benefit. But what if the views espoused in such settings cause harm to wider society?
This is an urgent question, because yet another mosque has fallen foul of the rules. This time it’s the An-Noor Masjid and Community Centre, a registered charity in Birmingham which posted a video of a preacher who effectively condoned domestic violence and marital rape. Mahamed AbdurRazaq was advising a congregation on what a husband could do if his wife refused to have sex with him.
First scuffle of the day between pro-Palestine and pro-Israel supporters.

On the night of November 18th, 2023, 300 to 400 young people gathered in the village hall of Crépol, a small settlement in the department of Drôme, France for a dance party.
But what began like an evening of carefree fun soon turned into a nightmare. As we reported at the time, a gang of individuals broke into the party and spread terror by attacking the participants with knives. A youngster of 16, Thomas, a member of the local rugby club, died of a stab wound during his transfer to a hospital in Lyon. Two others were severely wounded, and more than a dozen other people suffered various degrees of injuries during the rampage, including the bouncer who had his fingers cut off.
Politicians and community leaders are warning that anti-Israel rallies planned for Al-Quds Day this Sunday could be filled with antisemitic chants and the glorification of terrorism, and they are asking law enforcement to do more to protect the Jewish community.
“There’s been a long history of concern about Al-Quds Day, which is an annual hateful protest, an event that calls for the elimination and eradication of the State of Israel,” Toronto city councillor Brad Bradford told National Post.
Good luck.
The two men accused of having been hired by people tied to the Iranian government to assassinate the Iranian-American journalist and human rights activist Masih Alinejad in New York City in the summer of 2022 were found guilty on all five counts at a federal courthouse in Lower Manhattan on Thursday.
The propaganda press continues to play fast and loose with the truth, and nowhere is that more apparent than in their coverage of the Trump administration’s efforts to detain yet another terrorist sympathizer living in the United States. This time, it’s Badar Khan Suri, a man with ties to a senior Hamas official — but you wouldn’t necessarily glean that from the deliberately misleading headlines and articles.
The accused Hamas sympathizer is shrouded in mystery—and so are his supporters.
As it unfurls, the saga of Mahmoud Khalil—the Columbia agitator picked up by immigration enforcement last week—looks less like a complicated immigration-law dispute and more like something out of a John le Carré novel.
But inspect the details, and Khalil’s case gives us a glimpse a well-established network linking American universities, international progressive NGOs, and government agencies. This network places ideologues like Khalil in positions of power and influence and promoting radical policies that challenge both the will of American voters and our national-security interests.
The Quebec government has tabled a bill that would expand the province’s religious symbols ban to school staff beyond teachers.
The bill would update Quebec’s Education Act to also require students and staff to have their faces uncovered at school.
Crown attorneys pursuing charges against a Toronto man accused of promoting genocide against Jews and vandalizing multiple synagogues want the case prosecuted as terrorism.
Amir Arvahi Azar, 32, faces nearly 30 criminal charges. Prosecutors allege that he set fire to signs outside of Jewish temples, incited hatred on social media and had an arsenal of illegal weapons, including handguns and brass knuckles.
He’s going to be released under house arrest on account he’s not a white person.
Islamic conversion rates are on the rise in American prisons and the West should be concerned.
A quiet yet seismic shift is occurring in America’s prison cells. Fewer inmates are reading the Bible behind bars, while more are reading the Quran.
That’s right.
Islam is quickly becoming the dominant faith in America’s prison system. According to a recent CBS report, tens of thousands of inmates convert to Islam each year. In some prisons, Muslim prisoners make up as much as 20 percent of the population. The conversion rate is astonishing. It goes beyond a mere religious choice.
It represents a complete transformation of identity, loyalty, and ideology.
The French government is reportedly planning to send a “survival manual” to every household in the country with instructions on how to prepare for an “imminent threat” including armed conflict, a health crisis or a natural disaster.
If approved by François Bayrou, the prime minister, the 20-page booklet will be sent to households before the summer, French media reported.
It will be divided into three parts with advice on how to protect “yourself and those around you”, what to do if a threat is imminent – with a list of emergency numbers, radio channels and a reminder to close doors and windows if the threat is nuclear – and details of how to get involved in defending your community, including signing up for reserve units or firefighting groups.
The noted theologian Angela Rayner has decided that this Labour Government should come up with a working definition of the term Islamophobia. She has now found a former Conservative, Dominic Grieve, to head the taskforce committed to solving this conundrum. For his part, Grieve has said that he hopes that the commission he is heading “will come up with principles in defining Islamophobia” which will “thus help support positive change in our country”.
Allow me to make a prediction. Angela Rayner, Dominic Grieve and all the people involved will fail.
The Islamic jihad, holy war, that began in the seventh century and spearheaded the expansion of Arab and then the Ottoman Islamic Empire, continues today unabated. The 19th and 20th century expansion of Western power into the Islamic world gave the impression that the fangs of jihad were pulled, but the retreat of the West in the post-WWII period and loss of confidence among Western European countries, continued with a vengeance in the current century, caused a resurgence of jihadi expansion.

In “Apocalypto”, Mel Gibson’s film about the Mayans that was hit by a wave of controversy for the horrifying scenes of violence depicted by the director, there is a civilization in which barbarism dominates, man is worth nothing and human sacrifice is practiced.
As the German Jewish philosopher Leo Strauss said, lashing out at relativism, “if everything is the same, then cannibalism is just a matter of taste”.
I have seen a video of a Syrian terrorist who cuts the chest of a man who is still alive while others hold him down, extracts his heart and eats it for the cameras.
