Isis claims responsibility for church killing in Istanbul

Islamic State was behind the lethal attack on a church in Istanbul on Sunday, Ali Yerlikaya, Turkey’s interior minister has said.

Two masked gunmen burst into Santa Maria Italian church during mass, killing Tuncer Cihan, a 52-year-old man.

Seconds later, they entered and killed him.

Epiphanies on Islamic Ethics

Muslim societies do not just breed violence and poverty, but also a dogmatic sense of superiority grounded on nothing but wishful thinking.

Most criticism of Islam focuses on violence sanctioned and promoted by Islamic teachings and on rampant disrespect and oppression of women, and sexual and religious minorities.

These attitudes, as hateful as they are, are not the real reasons hindering progress (other than military efforts) in the Islamic world. After all, Wilhelmine Germany and Meiji Japan also held power and military strength in high regard, relegated women to a secondary role and denied sexual and religious minorities equal rights.

Yet both Wilhelmine Germany and Meiji Japan developed rapidly and contributed important scientific and intellectual discoveries to mankind.

Squad member Ilhan Omar slammed for ‘disgraceful’ speech

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) is being accused of ‘treason’ and calls to be removed from Congress she faces fierce opposition for a speech where she unapologetically declared she is ‘Somalia first.’

Somaliland Ambassador Rhoda Elmi reposted video of Omar’s speech on X and called it ‘regrettably unbecoming’ and ‘lacking in common decency.’

The leaked video of Omar’s speech on January 27 quickly went viral and garnered widespread criticism, including from far-right Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) who accused her colleague of using her position to protect people who ‘hate America’ and also said she’s clearly admitting to putting another country ahead of American interests.

Muslim council cancels meeting with Trudeau over Liberal stance on hate crimes, Gaza

crying muslim

OTTAWA – The National Council of Canadian Muslims has cancelled a scheduled meeting today with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, saying there’s no point in speaking with him.

Chief executive Stephen Brown says that’s because of Trudeau’s response to the situation in the Gaza Strip and his government’s failure to deliver legislation and funding to prevent hate crimes.

Brown says Trudeau has not followed through on promises he made to the Muslim community in the 2015 election that brought him to power.

I love how identity politics is biting him in the ass.

How Muslim identity politics colonised education

British schools are being turned into political battlegrounds. A militant Muslim identity politics is mounting an ever-stronger challenge to their educational authority. Over the past few weeks alone, the Michaela Community School in north-west London has appeared at the High Court, having been sued for discrimination by a Muslim pupil over its decision to ban prayer rituals. And a few miles away in east London, Barclay Primary School has been under attack from Islamists and a few parents after it told children not to wear clothing or badges displaying some form of ‘political allegiance’ in school – a move interpreted as a clampdown on pro-Palestine symbols.

Could ‘smart gun’ tech have stopped the Danforth Islamist terror attack? Smith & Wesson denies liability in $150 million Toronto lawsuit

Could ‘smart gun’ tech have stopped the Danforth mass shooting? Smith & Wesson denies liability in $150 million Toronto lawsuit

In 2000, U.S. gunmaker Smith & Wesson acknowledged the risks posed by lost and stolen guns and entered an agreement with the U.S. government to implement “safety and design” changes to its civilian handgun products — including mechanisms that could deter unauthorized use.

That never happened, and 18 years later, a man in Toronto armed with a stolen Smith & Wesson M&P40 handgun randomly shot two young people and injured 13 others in a mass shooting on Danforth Avenue.

This was a Muslim terror attack.

‘Europeans Will Succumb to Islam,’ Says Former Intelligence Chief

Islam is on the verge of completely taking over Europe, in all ways — at least according to one who should know, Hans-Georg Maaßen, Germany’s top domestic intelligence chief from 2012 to 2018.  In a recent interview, he stressed several points that spell the imminent downfall of Europe to Islam.

His warnings are buttressed by disturbing demographic changes. According to conservative estimates from Pew Research, over the next 25 years — meaning most of the current generation’s lifetime — Europe’s Muslim population will triple to a staggering 76 million.  In fact, the actual current and future numbers of Muslims appear to be higher, though there are no official tallies.  For example, in an earlier, 2011 study, Pew Research found that “The number of Muslims in Europe has grown from 29.6 million in 1990 to 44.1 million in 2010. Europe’s Muslim population is projected to exceed 58 million by 2030.”  Clearly 58 million in five years’ time is more significant than 76 million in 25 years’ time.

WARMINGTON: This was a jihad-like terror attack in Canada that no one seems to know about

It’s not every day there is a jihadist-inspired terror attack in Canada related to Israel’s war in Gaza that few seem to know about.

But it did happen and the country is just fortunate no one was murdered in the process. The potential was definitely there.

This Crappy Crackpot Jihadi was a joke. We may not be so lucky next time.
