In the wake of the recent jihad attack in Vienna, Austrian authorities are cracking down on Muslim organizations that have been discovered to be exhorting or approving of jihad terror activity – and Georgetown University’s Hamas-linked Bridge Initiative is not happy. On Thursday, it published a weepy self-pitying piece entitled “Xinjiang and Kristallnacht in Austria: Freedom of Religion Under Threat” by Farid Hafez, a political scientist in Austria who sees in Austria’s counterterror measures nothing less than a new Holocaust on the horizon. Of course! Why else would anyone oppose jihad violence, other than out of a desire to perpetrate genocide? This is what passes for academic discourse at Georgetown these days.
An American boy who was made to threaten President Donald Trump in an Islamic State group video says it was “sweet relief” to return to the US.
Matthew, taken to Syria by his mother and stepfather, was 10 when he was filmed telling Mr Trump to prepare for a battle on US soil.
Now 13, he has been living with his father for a year, after being flown home by the US military in 2018.
“It’s happened and it’s done. It’s all behind me now,” he told the BBC.
“I was so young I did not really understand any of it.”

Senator Marco Rubio (R-Florida) tweeted a video of the radical Leftist Georgia Senate candidate Raphael Warnock with the comment: “Not shocked #Georgia Democrat Senate candidate Raphael Warnock said ‘You cannot serve God and the military’ at the same time. These & even crazier things is what the radicals who control the Democratic party’s activist & small dollar donor base believe.”
