An Afghan migrant accused of raping two 14-year-old girls has blamed ‘Satan’ for ‘losing control’ as he drank alcohol.
Sultani Bakatash, 29, is said to have plied both teenagers with vodka before ‘seizing the opportunity to rape and abuse them’ in December last year at his Bolton flat.
He earlier pleaded not guilty to two counts of rape; two counts of assault by penetration; and sexual assault.
One of the most consequential misunderstandings in modern Western thought concerns a single Arabic word.
For generations, Western governments, courts, academics, journalists, and policymakers have referred to Islam as a religion. The classification is so deeply embedded in Western institutions that it is rarely questioned. Yet the assumption rests largely upon Western interpretations of Islamic terminology rather than on how Islam defines itself in its own primary sources.
Magdeburg’s Regional Court has found a 51-year-old psychiatrist from Saudi Arabia guilty of murder for driving a rental car into a crowd at the Christmas market in the eastern city in 2024.
The judge sentenced Taleb Jawad al-Abdulmohsen to life in prison and said that the German equivalent of a first-degree murder charge in the US — known in German as particular severity of guilt — had been established. This makes the possibilty of early parole less likely.
The verdict can still be appealed.
A Bangladeshi man who raped a 12-year-old girl and groomed a nine-year-old in Britain lacked “English moral values”, a court heard.
Tarek Miah, who abused his young victims after grooming them on TikTok and Snapchat, may have had an adverse attitude towards young girls because of his “culture”, prosecutors said.
Miah, 20, was jailed for 15 years at Portsmouth Crown Court in Hampshire after admitting eight charges, including four counts of raping a child under the age of 13.
There’s an old tale about a farmer who recognized there was only one way to deal with his donkey. He had to strike it twice on the head with a two-by-four—the first time simply to gain its attention, the second to get it to listen to what he had to say.
Not to trigger animal rights activists by relating this tale, it is shared simply to underscore the more serious problem of how to negotiate a meaningful deal with Iran’s mullahs who are predisposed not to submit to the West.
The much-anticipated Rape Gang Inquiry Report instigated by Rupert Lowe was published last week. Alas, you might have missed it if you get your news from the mainstream media – in particular the BBC which, Lowe notes, has completely ignored it. Still, according to Lowe at least a million people have clicked through to the report, and indeed his original post on X garnered almost 50million views. That is a good start.
When Jen was 17, she was introduced to a gang of Iraqi Kurdish Muslim men who called her and other girls “white trash” and “English pig‑dogs” while they raped and trafficked them across the U.K. to rape gang ”parties.”
Jen decided to speak up in the Rape Gang Inquiry Report “so that religiously-motivated coercive abuse is properly recognized and confronted, even when doing so is politically, culturally, or socially controversial.”
In March, the Israeli ambassador to Canada, Iddo Moed, characterized Canada as “one of the centres of antisemitism globally.” Also, Toronto Rabbi Daniel Korobkin of Beth Avraham Yoseph synagogue (which had its front doors shattered from gunfire) stated: “What our message needs to be to our leaders is that if nothing is done, then you’re sending a message: ‘They can go ahead and go to the next level.’”
Years of open-door policies and unchecked immigration have resulted in a rise of radical Islamism across Europe — and some countries are looking to reverse course.
In the United Kingdom, migrant rape gangs have victimized at least 250,000 British girls over the past several decades, a recent report conducted by Restore Britain, led by Member of Parliament Rupert Lowe, found. A disproportionate number of attackers came from Pakistani Muslim backgrounds, according to the report, which cited court records, previous inquiries, and witness testimonies.
Most terrorist financing stays hidden — moving through shell companies, informal transfer networks, and charities existing only on paper. There is, however, a category of terrorist financing that operates in the open, written into legislation and funded through public budgets. These are the structured payment programs known colloquially as “pay-for-slay” programs.
Denmark’s immigration minister has announced plans to ban the Islamic call to prayer, claiming parts of the country felt like “a suburb of Islamabad”.
Morten Bødskov, a member of the centre-Left Social Democrats party, said the new government would resume an investigation into the legality of imposing a ban.
“The call to prayer should not be heard over Danish rooftops,” the minister told Danish news outlet Ritzau. “It has no place in Denmark, and you shouldn’t be in any doubt whether you’ve ended up in a suburb of Islamabad when you walk around Denmark.”
Mohammadreza Pakatchian said he chose to study aerospace engineering at Carleton University because it was a “great opportunity” to further his skills and knowledge.
In its acceptance letter to the Iranian, Carleton University offered him a scholarship, while an MP’s office spoke with immigration officials about his student visa.
But Canada’s national security agencies aren’t so keen on the 41-year-old doctoral student.
Texas is home to some serious anti-Sharia initiatives, and the establishment media is fighting back with everything it’s got, misrepresenting Sharia as private religious law that harms no one, and smearing opponents of Sharia as “far-right” mouth-breathers who are bent on opposing Sharia not out of any real principle, but because they hate “brown people,” and are unjustly suspicious of anything that ain’t Christian, ‘specially some furrin’ law that folks that don’t even talk like us is bringin’ here in the dark of night.
Canada’s spy agency, CSIS, says it has stepped up operations to combat possible Iranian state-directed activity here, warning that threats from Tehran’s theocratic regime are expected to continue this year.
The Canadian Security Intelligence Service declined to provide details of its operations Monday. It said it was increasing activities focused on violent extremism in Canada.
The Islamic call to prayer blasted from four weatherproof horn speakers mounted on all four sides of Regina City Jamia Masjid mosque.
The “sound test” lasted roughly three minutes. Mosque representatives called it a “historic milestone.”
The rest of Regina should call it what it is: a warning siren.
À Régina.
Prier dans l’intimité: oui.
Imposer sa prière à toute une ville – qui est à la base de culture catholique: non.

Islam has no place in the west.
