“Our imam had assured us that when you kill a kafir [infidel], Allah rewards one with a Jannah [paradise]… so I wanted to get that Jannah.” — Hanifa Hamiyat, a Muslim woman who poisoned and killed three people: a young Christian couple, as well as her own 18-year-old daughter, who accidentally ate the same poisoned food the Muslim woman had offered to the Christians; Morning Star News, March 28, 2025, Uganda.
For the umpteenth time, Trump has just said some “bizarre” things that, upon closer examination, turn out to be entirely reasonable.
Lucy Powell dismissed the horrific rape gangs scandal as “little trumpet”, with critics deeming her comments “abhorrent” and calling for her to resign.
The Commons leader was speaking to political correspondent Tim Montgomerie on BBC’s Any Questions last night when a discussion about councils got heated.

Their vote whores are just like our vote whores.
Eight men, including seven Iranian nationals, have been arrested in two separate counter-terrorism police investigations.
Five were arrested at various locations around England on Saturday as part of a “pre-planned” investigation into a plot to “target a specific premises”, the Metropolitan Police said.
Four – two aged 29, one aged 40 and one aged 46 – are Iranian nationals. Police said the nationality and age of the fifth was still being established.
Media reports and videos on social media, immediately after the October 7, 2023 attack and to this day, document a significant segment of Canada’s Muslim community’s targeting, bullying, and trying to intimidate the Jewish community in the country, with disturbing protests often thousands strong. As one recent X post stated, “it’s open season on Jews in Canada.”
While the U.S. has had its share of extremist pro-Palestinian supporters, marching with signs, flags, and banners of Hamas, Hizbullah, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), and other terror groups, and targeting of the U.S. Jewish community, the size and scope of this phenomenon in Canada is even more pervasive and severe – and at times terrifying.
A Yemeni accused of trying to leave Canada to join a terrorist group appeared in court north of Toronto on Thursday for a bail hearing.
Husam Taha Ali Al-Sewaiee, 32, was arrested by RCMP national security officers on April 19 and remains in custody.
He has not been charged with any crimes.
The priest would prefer that the ghosts of his community’s violent past are laid to rest. Every family in Maaloula — where Christian and Muslim neighbours were riven by bloodshed — has a deeply personal memory of the civil war: a killing, an abduction, a disappearance; displacement, grief and loss.
In the interests of reconciliation Father Fadi Barkil believes it may be better to forgive and forget.
Yet as word of the latest sectarian violence against the Druze community in Syria spreads, fears for the future keep Maaloula’s ghosts of the past alive.
The parliament of the state of Lower Austria has approved a set of new measures aimed at tackling radical Islam and handing out stricter penalties for families deemed “unwilling to integrate.”
Parents of kindergarten children who are unwilling to comply with certain obligations, such as attending parent-teacher meetings, could face a fine of up to €2,500 or up to six weeks in prison.
The Muslim Association of Britain (MAB) has always denied being an extremist organisation, yet there can be little dispute as to the extremist views of its most “significant” director.
Anas Altikriti, who was president of the MAB from 2004 to 2005, has described the mass slaughter and rape of Israeli citizens on Oct 7 2023 as “a lie” and called the taking of hostages “a very important part” of any “act of resistance”.
The MAB has tried to distance itself from Mr Altikriti, saying he “does not speak for, nor represent the views of the MAB”.
There is no question that Britain’s prisons are becoming more violent. Figures published last week show assaults on staff and prisoners at record levels. The Muslim charity Maslaha has claimed that force used by prison staff to quell the rising tide is fuelled by “Islamophobia” and is a result of the racialised policing of the landings across eight of the nine prisons it surveyed. Is this an accurate or fair representation of the problem?
Islamism — defined most benignly as “the belief that Islam should influence political systems”— is, according to Joe Adam George, the Macdonald-Laurier Institute’s National Security Analyst, the “biggest existential threat to Canada within its borders.” Yet, in the English-language leaders’ election debate, when Bloc Québécois leader François Blanchet dangled the word “Islamism” for discussion, nobody took the bait.
Writing on the subject in these pages last year, George observed that, unlike China and Russia, “what makes Islamists such a formidable force to reckon with is their ability to weaponize Islam to silence, punish and deter” their critics. One Islamist group, the politically influential National Council of Canadian Muslims ( NCCM ), is particularly active on this front.
The sexual abuse of elderly women by migrant carers was shamefully ignored.
In autumn last year, Sweden was shaken by a scandal that shares some disturbing similarities with the grooming-gangs scandal in Britain. It is on a far smaller scale. But in Sweden, as in Britain, it seems that many vulnerable individuals have been raped and sexually abused, while the people whose job it should have been to protect them failed to do so. What’s more, those in positions of authority sometimes downplayed or hushed up allegations because of their low view of the victims and, potentially, the identity of some of the perpetrators.
Self-proclaimed Hamas operative in US Air Force indicted over pipe bomb plot
A self-described Hamas operative who infiltrated the US Air Force and once boasted that he’s “been a terrorist since he’s been a kid” was hit with additional charges this week alongside two Pittsburgh women after the feds foiled an apparent terror plot involving a pair of pipe bombs.
Mohamad Hamad, 23, who has dual citizenship in the US and Lebanon, was already charged for defacing a synagogue was hit Tuesday with a nine-count superseding indictment along with Talya Lubit, 24, and Micaiah Collins, 22.
Liberal Leader Mark Carney urged Israel to allow the World Food Programme to work in Gaza, saying food must not be used as a “political tool,” hours after the UN agency ran out of stocks due to a sustained Israeli blockade on supplies.
The World Food Programme (WFP) said on Friday it had delivered its last remaining supplies to kitchens providing hot meals in Gaza and that the facilities were expected to run out of food in the coming days.
This says Muslims will control our streets in the Carney era.
