For Syria’s Christians, Christmas is a time to grapple with hope and fear

DAMASCUS — This Christmas morning in Syria’s capital, Christians dressed in their finest clothes, attended church and participated in the annual parade through the ancient part of the city. Yet beneath the holiday cheer lay a heavy sense of anxiety.

Over the past 13 years, many have fled the country, leaving those who remain feeling particularly vulnerable as an Islamist group assumes power. Before the war began in 2011, Syria was home to more than 1.5 million Christians. Today, Patriarch Ignatius Aphrem II of the Syriac Orthodox Church estimates that number has fallen to around 400,000.

Christmas market killer was ‘undercover jihadist’ claims AfD leader

The far-Right Alternative for Germany party has claimed the Magdeburg Christmas market killer is “a closet jihadist and undercover Islamist” despite his avowed anti-Muslim views.

Alice Weidel, the co-leader of the AfD, made the claims at a mass rally outside the cathedral in Magdeburg, near where Taleb al-Abdulmohsen, 50, a Saudi psychiatrist, ploughed his rented SUV into the crowd at the Christmas market on Friday.

It’s not a conspiracy theory.

Magdeburg was not a far-Right attack

Last Friday’s atrocity at a Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany had all the hallmarks of a jihadi attack. It was lethal, indiscriminate and utterly horrifying, transforming a boringly familiar object — a car — into a weapon of mass murder. Jihadist groups have been calling for such attacks for well over a decade now, and scores of their supporters have carried them out with deadly effect. A very similar attack to the one in Magdeburg happened in 2016 in Berlin, when Tunisian-born Anis Amri rammed a truck into a group of pedestrians, killing 12 and wounding 56 others.

Mass immigration is killing Europe – and the political class just don’t care

Another Christmas and the politics of Europe are once again roiled by one of the Continent’s newest traditions: the Christmas market terrorist attack.

Last Friday’s attack on a Christmas market in Magdeburg was carried out by a Saudi-born asylum seeker. In 2016 it was a Tunisian migrant who carried out a similarly horrific attack in Berlin. It is one of the reasons why for the past 10 years these once innocent family events are surrounded by police and very often by what locals sometimes cynically call “diversity bollards”. In a macabre twist, in August this year a Syrian Islamist murdered three people and stabbed eight more at a Festival of Diversity in Solingen.

After Magdeburg, the fury at the elites

Germans are not willing to tolerate these attacks becoming ‘normal’.

Germany is still reeling from the deadly attack on a Christmas market on Friday evening. A black BMW was driven into a crowd of market-goers in the city of Magdeburg, leaving at least five people dead and over 40 critically injured. The alleged perpetrator, Taleb al-Abdulmohsen, was arrested at the scene. He is a 50-year-old psychiatrist who came to Germany in 2006 and was granted refugee status in 2016.

Israeli and Canadian officials clash over whether Canada is safe for Jews

Canadian and Israeli officials disagreed on Saturday—the day after a Canadian Jewish school was shot, for the third time, and after the country launched a new antisemitism forum—about whether the northern U.S. neighbor is a safe place for Jews.

“Canada—another day, another attack,” wrote Amichai Chikli, the Israeli diaspora affairs minister. “While Justin Trudeau, the only G7 leader who hasn’t visited Israel since Oct. 7, issues hollow statements, Toronto’s Beis Chaya school is shot at for the third time, and Montreal synagogue is firebombed again.”

Fuck Trudeau, Fuck our so called “elites” and Fuck anyone opposed to Remigration.

Germany’s bizarre terrorist sent me angry messages – but what were his motives?

… Many see the perpetrator as a violent foreigner regardless of whether he left his faith, with one friend telling me: “Germany didn’t have these kind of attacks done by foreigners before Merkel opened borders in 2015.”

That message is one the Left have struggled to counter.

“Police Made No Effort to Find Her”

The Muslim Rape and Forced Conversion of Christian Girls

Pakistan: On Nov. 7, a Muslim man brutally raped a teenage Christian girl. The Muslim, Ansar Shah, initially went up to Eman Khuram, 18, as she was walking home late in the evening (as the eldest daughter, since the family’s father had abandoned them, she had been working long hours every day). He told her that he had kidnapped her younger brother, and unless she got on his motorcycle and rode with him, he would kill the boy. Terrified, she complied. He drove her around for 30 minutes, during which time he continued issuing threats, until he finally stopped at a secluded brick factory.

Islamism still haunts us

Europe hasn’t woken up to the barbarism in our midst.

The Magdeburg attack is depraved and puzzling in almost equal measure.

When a black BMW ploughed into a Christmas market in the German city on Friday night, brutally killing (at time of writing) four women and a nine-year-old boy and injuring at least 200 more, many, understandably, assumed this was Islamist terrorism imposing its nihilistic writ on Europeans once again.

Magdeburg attack puts migration at heart of Germany’s election

Friday’s attack on a Christmas market in the German city of Magdeburg has so far left five dead, hundreds injured, and the script for the country’s February snap election in tatters.

The suspected perpetrator, a 50-year-old doctor from Saudi-Arabia who sought asylum in Germany and has lived there for two decades, was arrested at the scene. As a consequence, a historically short election campaign season will be centred largely around migration. On social media, a debate is already raging as to whether the attack should be treated as a further example of migrant violence or a far-Right hate crime.

Furious German protesters take to the streets to demand mass deportations as anger over Christmas market attack rises

Furious hard-right protesters took to the streets of Germany last night to demand mass deportations after a Saudi doctor allegedly killed five people during a devastating attack on a Christmas market.

Taleb al-Abdulmohsen, 50, is accused of ramming his SUV into a packed market in the town of Magdeburg on Friday night, killing four women aged 45 to 75 and nine-year-old André Gleißner as well as injuring over 200 people.

Around 700 hard-right demonstrators gathered in Magdeburg last night, with people holding a banner with the word ‘Remigration Now’ and so-called homeland flags.

Western nations will not know peace until Islam is driven from their lands.

Magdeburg suspect prompts more questions than answers

In such polarised times, there is a strong temptation to interpret acts of violence through the lens of one’s own biases. The attack on a Christmas market in the German city of Magdeburg yesterday evening, which killed five and injured over 200 more, has revealed this impulse in the starkest terms. Already, attention has been drawn from the Right to the background of the alleged perpetrator as an asylum seeker from Saudi Arabia, and from some on the Left to his support of Alternative for Germany (AfD).

Importantly, the main suspect, a 50-year-old Saudi national and psychotherapist named Taleb al-Abdulmohsen, was less a “lone wolf” than a “known wolf”. Not only did Saudi authorities repeatedly warn their German counterparts that he was posting online about his desire to kill civilians, Abdulmohsen had also contacted prominent ex-Muslims such as Yasmine Mohammed and Ali Utlu. Both Mohammed and Utlu suspected he was a Saudi agent spying on ex-Muslims and dissidents, with the latter claiming today: “He acted ex-Muslim on the outside, while in direct messages he threatened ex-Muslims, especially Saudi women who had fled.”

Eight Muslims sentenced in France for actions that led to teacher beheading

A French court has sentenced seven men and a woman to prison for their roles in a hate campaign that led to the October 2020 murder of schoolteacher Samuel Paty in a Paris suburb.

The sentences handed down range from three to 16 years.

The attack took place following social media posts that falsely claiming Paty had shown his students obscene pictures of the Prophet Muhammad during a lesson on free speech.
