Day began with hope for Tories but ended with Sadiq Khan back as mayor

It was a day that began with some hope – or was it wishful thinking – that Sadiq Khan might be ousted in London by his Tory rival, heralding a revival in fortunes for party and government.

But it ended with Mr Khan cruising to a comfortable victory and an unprecedented third term in City Hall.

Reality, cold and unflinching, began to dawn the moment results started to come in.

A warning …

On a tram, you can get off when you wish, but what if there are no brakes…?. Meet the German Caliphate

Islam does not belong in Germany

Erdogan, “the moderate”, said it clearly:

“Democracy is a tram, you take it as long as you need it and then you get off”.

Millions of Muslims in Europe, from where incredible videos arrive, must be thinking something along these lines.

You have to be afraid, very afraid. Maybe one day on Europe’s streets they will also flog women who don’t wear the veil?

Inside the notorious prison where British jihadists are held

Islamic State fighters are pushed by armed guards through a labyrinth of windowless corridors. They trip over their tied ankles and tilt their heads to peek under their blindfolds, but see only the same dark hallway, with its peeling walls and broken tiles.

This is the notorious Hasakah prison complex in northeast Syria, now labelled “the world’s worst prison”. For years the media has been blocked from getting inside the facility and meeting its inmates, but The Times has been granted exclusive access.

Sweden ramps up Eurovision security amid Quran burnings and protests

Inside the Malmo Arena, Eurovision fans can expect a spectacular show brimming with colourful costumes and carefully rehearsed performances. Outside, the atmosphere may be darker: Swedish police are expecting Quran burnings, protests and a continued elevated terrorist threat.

A polarised debate surrounding the conflict in Gaza and Israel’s participation in the song contest have intensified the workload for law enforcement. About 100,000 visitors are expected in Malmo for the Eurovision week.

Don’t Become Sweden – Admitting Gazan “refugees” would be catastrophically stupid

There must be worse ideas than admitting refugees from Gaza into the U.S., but none immediately come to mind.

According to CBS News, one proposal the Biden administration is considering is “using the decades-old United States Refugee Admissions Program to welcome Palestinians with U.S. ties who have managed to escape Gaza and enter neighboring Egypt.” Another possibility is “getting additional Palestinians out of Gaza and processing them as refugees if they have American relatives.”

Canada: Oakville School Suspends, Investigates Teacher for Saying ‘Keffiyeh Reminds Her of a Terrorist’

The Palestinian “resistance” (from the River to the Sea) has been exported globally. It spring-boarded from October 7, drawing in multitudes of followers and leading them to believe that they are part of a social justice movement. They don’t realize that they are being played for fools by a movement that is rooted in Islam’s 1,400-year history. The latest example of this is an incident in Oakville, Ontario’s largest town near Toronto: “HDSB investigates after ‘harmful’ language directed at student wearing keffiyeh,” CHCH, April 29, 2024 …

Trudeau says universities and police must be trusted to keep campuses safe for Jews vows to import more Gazans to help out

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said universities should be places where ideas are debated but they also need to be safe for students, as a growing number of encampments protesting Israel’s war in Gaza have been set up at Canadian schools.

“Universities are places where the freedom of speech, the freedom of ideas, the challenge of debate, of dialogue, of discussion about how to shape the world, how to see the world, how to go on out after university or college and lead the world are a core part of what campuses are all about,” Trudeau told reporters while visiting Hamilton, Ont. on Friday.

Hamas and Hezbollah: How Iran Is Secretly Infiltrating Europe

The terrorist threat to Europe from the Islamic Republic of Iran — and Hamas and Hezbollah, its proxies — is growing. European leaders, however, are absorbed with trying to prevent Israel from eliminating the military capabilities of Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon, even though that would diminish the ability of these terrorists to operate in Europe.

Even before the October 7 massacre in Israel by Hamas, Mossad Director David Barnea said in September 2023 that Israel’s intelligence services, in cooperation with their foreign partners, had prevented 27 terrorist attacks orchestrated by the Iran just over the last year, “all over the world, in Europe, Africa, the Far East and South America.”

Somali Imam Arrested in Sweden on Terrorism Charges

The 60-year-old leader of a mosque in Tyresö, Sweden, has been arrested on suspicion of direct participation in a terrorism organization. The Somali imam was heading a mosque on a volunteer basis, teaching children and youth on the premises of a Muslim cultural association.

Crack addict rapists bring hell to Paris region which will host Olympics this summer

Horrifying knifepoint sex attack is latest incident in neighbourhood where ‘attacks and rapes are part of daily life’

A knifepoint sex attack a short distance from where the Paris Olympics is set to take place this summer is the latest in a series of horrific assaults in an area where locals say they fear for their safety on a daily basis.

​​Place Auguste Baron in the north-east of the French capital has seen two women attacked and threatened with rape in the past two days, according to French media. The suspects in each case are said to have been crack addicts.

Last night, a woman who was walking home in the neighbourhood was pounced on by a man who she said had been tailing her for 500 yards, Le Parisien reports.

Come learn how Islam has enriched Canada! Be sure to thank the Liberal & Conservative parties afterwards.

Jews have eyes. And they see that the antisemitism in the protests over Gaza is no aberration

There is a point at which the gaslighting becomes genuinely insulting. When meek attempts to blame a rogue few for hateful or antisemitic speech, or the repeated insistence that such displays of bigotry have “no place in Canada,” are so disconnected from reality that they become offensive and belittling.

People can see with their own eyes that this sort of bigotry clearly has a place here. And they can hear with their own ears as choruses of people – not just one or two outliers – sing about sending Jews “back to Europe.” It happened during pro-Palestinian protests in Ottawa on April 15, in Toronto on March 8 and April 13, and just days ago, in Montreal, at the encampment set up at McGill University.

It is a litany of enrichment made possible by the Liberal and Conservative parties.
