The Islamization of North Dakota

The Islamic attack out of Fargo shows the impact of refugee settlement.

Three blocks from where Mohamad Barakat opened fire on police officers and firefighters, the Islamic Society of Fargo-Moorhead squats across from a school bus company. Nearby are other elements of the new enclave like the Somali Community Development group which offers English and citizenship classes and the Al Hamdi Restaurant from whose vicinity an eyewitness reported hearing the shots that took the life of one police officer and wounded two others.

Nice: the tragedy the world forgot

Robert McLiam Wilson on the Islamist atrocities that are still haunting France.

Last week, the seventh anniversary of the 2016 Nice attack passed with very little notice outside of France. When Tunisian-born Mohamed Lahouaiej-Bouhlel deliberately drove a 19-tonne truck into a crowd of Bastille Day revellers, he murdered 86 people, including 15 children. This was one of the deadliest terror attacks on European soil in the 21st century. And yet, like many similar Islamist atrocities, it seems to have been largely forgotten about.

Terror threat to rise as jailed Islamists are freed

Authorities shocked terrorist was named Mohammud

The terror threat from jailed Islamists being freed into the community is set to rise this year, a new Home Office strategy has warned.

Dozens of convicted terrorists are due to be released in 2023, posing a threat that could “last for decades,” according to the updated Contest counter-terrorism strategy published on Tuesday.

It warned that four of the nine declared terrorist attacks in the UK since 2018 were perpetrated by serving or recently released prisoners. As of March 2023, there were 232 people in jail for terrorism-connected offences but officials are braced for a surge in releases this year after a series of successful prosecutions a decade ago.

Britain must do much more to tackle ‘anti-blasphemy’ Islamist zealots

Is blasphemy a national security threat to the UK?

The Henry Jackson Society (HJS) think so. Their soon to be published report, trailed by the Telegraph yesterday, found that Muslim anti-blasphemy preachers imported from Pakistan and Bangladesh had accelerated and toxified the response to perceived insults against Islam. Pakistan’s existing blasphemy laws, made even harsher this year, make insulting the Prophet Muhammed or any of his family in effect a capital crime, often without the necessity of a trial because those accused are abducted and murdered by lynch mobs before the justice system gets anywhere near them.

Protests outside schools and cinemas by hardline Muslims ‘pose national security threat’

Anti-blasphemy protests outside schools and cinemas by conservative Muslims are becoming a threat to national security, a new report has warned.

The review by the Henry Jackson Society think tank has warned that the failure to protect teachers and others from intimidation is amounting to a tacit anti-blasphemy law.

The 69-page report, Britain’s New Blasphemy Police?, examined a series of incidents in recent years including the case of a teacher at Batley Grammar School in West Yorkshire who showed pupils a cartoon of the Prophet Mohammed during an RE lesson.

Muslim convert behind Hyde Park plot ‘pondered terror attack on Queen’s funeral’

A homegrown terrorist considered launching a mass gun attack on the late Queen’s funeral after converting to Islam in prison, a court has heard. On September 18 last year, Little identified the Queen’s funeral – due to be held at Westminster Abbey the following day – as a possible target. It was suggested that “tyrants of the earth” would be there, to which Little responded: “I was just thinking that but unfortunately it’s too late.”

Edward Little, 22, rejected the plan as “too late” and instead decided to target a Christian preacher at Speaker’s Corner in London’s Hyde Park.

Leading activist in group behind GB News ad boycott ‘shares anti-Semitic views’

A senior staff member of Stop Funding Hate, the organisation behind the advertising boycott of GB News, has defended Hamas and been accused of sharing “anti-Semitic” content online.

Amanda Morris, the community organiser for Stop Funding Hate (SFH), has been criticised for several social media posts, including one from 2021 promoting the phrase “#FromTheRiverToTheSea”, a well-known chant used by Hamas to call for the destruction of Israel.

I do not think Israel’s advocates can win this fight, they may gain a small victory once in a while but not the war.

Phrases such as “From the river to the sea” are normalized in the UK, Europe and in North America.

When mainstream political parties accept within their ranks venomous pols like Ilhan Omar the game is over.

Mohammed Tops the Name List of Arrested French Rioters

Over 2,300 people have been arrested in connection with the multiple-day riots that shook France earlier this month following the fatal shooting of a teen named Nahel in the Paris suburb of Nanterre.

Many have speculated about a connection between immigration and the rioting, with former presidential candidate Éric Zemmour explicitly blaming French immigration policy during an interview published last Sunday.

“No one can ignore reality anymore,” Zemmour said and added, “in spite of everything, most of the political class wants to believe that it is a social crisis when the root cause is obvious: immigration.”

Alleged Canadian “national” arrested at Heathrow linked to arrest of Hate preacher Anjem Choudary on suspicion of terrorism offences

Anjem Choudary, the notorious hate preacher, has been arrested as part of a police investigation into suspected terrorism offences.
Choudary, 56, who lives in east London, was arrested by police at his home in a dawn raid on Monday.

A little less than seven hours after Choudary was detained, counter terrorism detectives arrested a second man at Heathrow airport who had just landed in the UK on a flight from Canada. Both men were held on suspicion of being members of a banned organisation in contravention of the Terrorism Act 2000.

… “The officers arrested a 56-year-old man from east London in the area at approximately 05.40hrs this morning, Monday, 17 July.”

The statement went on: “They arrested a 28-year-old Canadian national at Heathrow airport at approximately 12.35hrs, after he arrived on a flight from Canada.

Will the French riots spawn a new generation of jihadists?

Apart from the 96 arrests and 255 burned cars, Bastille Day passed off without a hitch in France. A bullish Interior Minister, Gerald Darmanin, expressed his satisfaction in a tweet, thanking the 45,000 policemen and women who had been deployed across the country. It says much for the state of France that avoiding a riot on their national day is a cause for celebration.

Still, one can understand why the government is grateful for small mercies after the trauma of the recent uprising. The financial cost of the damage caused by the rioters is predicted to top €1 billion (£858 million), a staggering sum for a country that is already dangerously indebted. This figure is double that of the unrest of 2005, when for three weeks youths went on the rampage.

Islamic State and Al-Qaeda plotting terror attacks in UK, government report to warn

Islamic State and Al-Qaeda are both plotting terror attacks in the UK, the Government is set to warn on Monday.

In an update to Contest, the UK’s counter-terrorism strategy, the Home Secretary will describe the threat of Islamist terrorism as the “most severe” in the UK, accounting for three quarters of Mi5’s time, according to The Times.

Suella Braverman will reportedly warn that while “Islamist terrorism remains the predominant threat, terrorism is becoming increasingly unpredictable, making cases harder to detect and investigate”.

When defenders of Gaza terrorists and French rioters are strangely silent

The defenders of Gaza and French revolts are silent on massacres of Christians – or blame them on climate change.

The West that feeds on Third Worldism, decolonization, the myth of banlieues and “Black Lives Matter” does not care about the genocide of Christians, indeed it even tries to deny it. For our NGOs, UN, media and governments, the killers do not shout “Allahu Akbar”, but “we want a carbon free world”.

But what about the last 150 Christians killed. “Some Christian victims were burned alive in their homes”, refers the Motning Star.

France: Three Quarters Support Stripping Citizenship of Foreign Rioters

More than seven in ten people in France are in favour of stripping citizenship for foreigners who participated in the violent riots that broke out following the death of an Algerian teenager last month.

A survey conducted by French broadcaster CNews this week found that 73 per cent of the country would support removing French citizenship from dual nationals who took part in the recent spate of racially-inspired riots accross the country.

UN official calls on Canada not to separate ISIS slag from her 6 kids held in Syrian detention camp

A United Nations official is calling on the Canadian government not to repatriate six children from a Syrian detention camp without their mother.

The Canadian woman and her children are among many foreign nationals in Kurdish-run camps for ISIS suspects and their family members in northeastern Syria.

Canada has agreed to repatriate the children, but recently decided not to repatriate the mother due to security concerns.

Safe Spaces: Paris Metro To Dedicate Spaces To Help Victims of Sex Attacks

Sexual assault and sex attacks have become an increasingly common phenomenon on the Paris metro and the RER train in recent years and Parisians have become less and less enamoured with public transport, particularly in regards to safety.

A poll released earlier this year revealed that half of those living in the French capital felt unsafe when travelling by metro, several percentage points ahead of France as a whole.
