Isis has army in waiting, warns US

Islamic State has an “army in waiting” in prisons and displacement camps across Iraq and Syria, the American military has warned in its annual report on the challenge the group still presents across the Middle East.

There are 20,000 Isis fighters and leaders in detention in Iraq and a further 10,000 in Syria, the US central command report said. On top of that, there are 25,000 children in camps like the al-Hawl facility in northeast Syria who are the “potential next generation of Isis”, it said.

“These children in the camp are prime targets for Isis radicalisation,” it said. “The international community must work together to remove these children from this environment by repatriating them to their countries or communities of origin while improving conditions in the camp.”

Might Michel Houellebecq become the next Salman Rushdie?

In August this year Salman Rushdie was stabbed multiple times. The novelist survived the attack, to the outward relief of the West. Prominent figures from the world of religion, politics and the arts offered their unqualified support to Rushdie as he lay in a New York hospital, recovering from the 12 knife wounds to his body.

The mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, whose city in recent years has been targeted on several occasions by Islamist extremists, tweeted her support for Rushdie, a writer she described as ‘inspiring and a free man’.

Minn. professor reportedly fired after Muslim students complain he showed historic depiction of Prophet Muhammad

When it comes to denigrating Christianity in America there are few guardrails, but there continues to be a whole other standard when it comes to the Muslim faith.

The latest example of this can be seen in Minnesota, where a liberal arts professor at Hamline University in St. Paul was reportedly fired after Muslim students complained that he showed historic depictions of Muhammad on a Powerpoint display while discussing Islamic art.

The unidentified professor “shared two depictions of the Prophet Muhammad in class, the Hamline Oracle reported — one being a 14th century depiction of the Prophet and the other was a 16th century depiction of the Prophet with veil and halo.

Barbara Kay: Another Israel super-critic gets funding from the Trudeau Liberals

In 2018, Jasmin Zine, a sociology and Muslim studies professor at Wilfrid Laurier University was awarded a federal grant of $24,900 for a research project resulting in a report titled “The Canadian Islamophobia Industry: Mapping Islamophobia’s Ecosystem in the Great White North.” Its driving theme is the need to expose a matrix of people and groups who “demonize and marginalize Islam and Muslims in Canada.” Zine rightly identifies certain white-supremacy groups that have been called out for their racism many times. But Zine’s principal “watch list” targets individuals (including me) and organizations with views regarding radical Islam and Israel that Zine personally disagrees with.

Anger as Pakistan court frees rapist after he agrees deal to marry his victim

A court in Pakistan has caused outrage after it freed a convicted rapist when he agreed to marry his victim.

Dawlat Khan, 25, had been sentenced to life imprisonment in May by the district court of Buner, in north-western Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, for the rape of a young deaf woman.

After an intervention by the area jirga, or council of elders, a deal was struck between Khan and the family of the woman, who had a child as a result of the attack. Khan was released on Monday after the deal was accepted by the Peshawar high court.

Pakistan has been a major source of immigration to Canada. Why?

Turkish ‘Progress’: Six-Year-Old Girl Married by Her Sheik Father

No doubt, Turkey is more secular and modern than Afghanistan and Iran. But that is not good enough news for Turkish girls and women.

A total of 327 women were murdered by their husbands, ex-husbands, fiancés and partners, between January 1 and November 11, 2022, according to the Turkish Federation of Women’s Association. The Islamist government of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan should be proud.

Although they are now “ex-allies,” Erdogan, when he was the prime minister of Turkey in 2007, elected as president his long-time, staunchest ally at the time, Abdullah Gul, a fellow Islamist. Gul reportedly married his wife, Hayrunnisa, when he was 30 years old and she was 14.

Swedish Kids a Minority in Malmö Schools

It is suggested that students generally would do better in Malmö’s schools if they were allowed to take classes in their native language instead of in Swedish.

The majority of the school kids in the Swedish city of Malmö are of foreign origin, which means “new integration challenges” for all, according to the city’s own researcher on the integration of immigrants.

Samnytt.se reports that two thirds of the children in Malmö are of immigrant background, a proportion which will directly impact the language of instruction…

The dire consequences of Denmark’s ‘paradigm shift’ on refugees … according to the usual suspects

Violent Muslims in Denmark – every western nation has had enough of this shit on their streets

“It was as if I had built a house, and they tore it down in a minute.”

This is how Maryam, a young Syrian woman, described the day the Danish Immigration Service informed her that her residence permit had been revoked — and Maryam isn’t the only one.

Denmark’s decision to end the protection of Syrian refugees dates back to 2015, when the parliament introduced a new temporary protection status — one that doesn’t exist in other European countries and carves out a particularly “thin” form of protection for asylum-seekers fleeing generalized violence, primarily from Syria. This means that as soon as the human rights conditions in their home country improves slightly, protection can be withdrawn, even if the situation remains “serious, fragile and unpredictable.”

UK Government’s anti-terror scheme backed organisations that went on to promote extreme Islamist ideas

Taxpayers’ money has been handed to groups promoting Islamist extremism, a landmark review of the Government’s flagship Prevent programme has found.

Key figures in organisations funded by Prevent are alleged to have supported the Taliban, defended militant Islamist groups banned in the UK and hosted hate preachers, according to a leaked draft of the report seen by The Telegraph.

The review by William Shawcross, a former head of the Charity Commission, is expected to say that the “unacceptable” cases undermined Prevent’s ability to “effectively undertake counter-radicalisation” work.

Paris Riots: Migration and Mistrust

Recent events in France remind us of the plot of the recently released French film Athena, which tells the story of how the murder of a young Algerian-French boy by the police sparks a civil war in France. Our discussion begins with a devastating spoiler—I highly recommend, therefore, that anyone who has not watched Athena do so before proceeding, as it is, in my estimation, one of the best films to come out in recent memory.

This is not a review, however, and the spoiler I am leading up to—revealed in the very last scene—is key to the present discussion: For after the violence and tragedy of the plot have run their course, we learn that it was not police officers who murdered the lad, but some criminals belonging to a far-right group disguised as police, precisely in order to coax immigrant communities into rioting against security forces and so initiate a civil war.

Haraj marketplace remains on App Store and Google Play despite UN slavery warning

She will work day and night and does not need rest, boasts Noura, a housewife in Riyadh. Gesturing to the cowering Ugandan maid next to her, who is 23 according to Noura, she adds: “If she does something wrong, you just send her to her room and do not let her out.”

Noura, who clutches gold Gucci sunglasses as she bargains for a price of £3,500 for the maid, is eager for a quick deal when she talks to an undercover Times reporter. “I can take her to your home tonight,” she says. “If you are still unsure, no problem, you can rent her instead . . . But tell me now, because by tomorrow someone else will buy her.”

Muhammad does fire tricks for Satan

Five episodes of South Park have been banned from HBO Max for depicting Islamic prophet Muhammad, reminding fans that virtually every other religion is considered fair game for making fun of — except for Islam.
