Isolated and alone, Sara says she felt powerless when the husband she was forced to marry in Pakistan became abusive. She was 21.
“He used to light a lighter on my face to scare me, [he said] ‘I will burn you’,” she says.
She says his controlling behaviour got worse when she was brought to the UK, and moved in with his parents in 2022.
Instead of the happy married life promised by her family, she was then attacked by her husband and forced to work as a slave by her in-laws.
A Pakistani immigrant and University of Delaware student was arrested with a cache of guns, ammunition and body armor, and a manifesto allegedly explaining plans to “kill all” and achieve “martyrdom” with a mass shooting on the school’s campus.
Luqmaan Khan, 25, was arrested just before midnight on Nov. 24 after cops found him in his pickup truck in a park after hours, and decided to search the car when he began acting suspiciously.
When Kamala Harris joined the Jihad Defense League.
On December 2, 2015, Syed Farook came to work at the Inland Regional Center in San Bernardino, California, and after a morning meeting slipped out the door. Shortly before 11, Farook returned in a black SUV with wife Tashfeen Malik, and as a first-hand account from the Policing Institute notes, “out of the blue, multiple popping sounds crackled outside.” The black-clad Muslims barged into a room where a holiday party was in progress and began shooting.
A billion-dollar scandal in Minnesota has solved the puzzle of why Kamala Harris picked Tim Walz as her running mate. It wasn’t because she was drunk (although she was). It wasn’t because he is the only national politician who is dumber than she (although he is). It wasn’t because he is a Chairman Xi-approved communist (although he is).
Another day, another massive story of blue-state political malfeasance hidden by the Elitist Media nightly news. This time, there is not a peep about the exploding welfare scandal currently engulfing the state of Minnesota- which directly implicates some of its senior most elected leaders.
Five years after he was first arrested, a Calgary man accused of travelling to Syria to fight with the Islamic State has been found guilty on three counts of participating in terrorist activities.
Under a rainbow-lit dome, hundreds of people gathered to drink pink glühwein and watch Jacky-Oh Weinhaus, a celebrity drag queen, at the opening week of Berlin’s LGBT Christmas market.
“This is an adult market,” said one of the security guards at the entrance, solemnly. “I have a duty to tell you your children may see pictures of penises and things of that nature.”
Until three years ago, the Christmas Avenue festival was held out in the open on Nollendorfplatz, the heart of the gay district, immortalised nearly a century ago by the Berlin novels of Christopher Isherwood.
On Friday President Donald Trump announced his administration would pause asylum processes and stop issuing visas to Afghans in response to the shooting of two National Guardsmen, one of whom later died. It was an Afghan national, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, admitted into the United States through a Biden-era program, who allegedly shot and killed Specialist Sarah Beckstrom and critically injured Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe.
Of course, the propaganda press insisted this was an isolated tragedy and certainly not evidence of a failed system.
Two West Virginia National Guardsmen were shot just before Thanksgiving Day (allegedly) by an Afghan terrorist immigrant. While one has died and the other remains in critical condition, the question remains why they were shot. The answer may well have been given to us 126 years earlier by a young Winston Churchill.
Before 3:00 pm on November 26th, three Guard members were on foot patrol, blocks away from the White House. Suddenly, without warning, the suspect, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, 29, jumped from behind a corner. Armed with a revolver, he first began shooting at Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, 20.
Last May, two brothers allegedly bound their 18-year-old sister in packing tape, gagged her, and drowned her in a swamp. This was an honour killing, motivated by what the girl’s brothers saw as her ‘westernisation.’ During the trial last week, WhatsApp messages revealed that the family’s main grievances were the fact that she had refused an arranged marriage, had a boyfriend, and had stopped wearing a headscarf. “There is no other solution,” one of the brothers wrote in a message. The girl’s own mother said that she was “a disgrace to the family and deserves to die” and should be “wrapped in a shroud.” In a secretly recorded conversation, one brother said he believed the family had been humiliated by the girl’s behaviour, and the only way out was her death.
Portland has sparked outrage after stripping its Christmas tree of its name, referring to it only as “the tree” during its lighting ceremony.
As thousands gathered in Pioneer Courthouse Square for the Oregon city’s 41st annual tree-lighting on Friday night, leaders and speakers avoided mentioning “Christmas” at any point — including in the ceremony itself and the event’s ads.

When word came from the interrogation room that a captured Isis fighter had divulged the location of Abdul Qadir Mumin’s hideout in a cave high in the arid mountains of northern Somalia, it was only a matter of hours before US jets were in the sky and raining down missiles.
The soldiers who went to inspect the wreckage found a number of charred corpses, but none of them were Mumin’s. Once again, the man believed to be Islamic State’s global leader, had slipped through their fingers.
Captain Omar Yusuf Mohamed, 40, is an officer in the Puntland Maritime Police Force (PMPF), which has been fighting an international cadre of militants in a brutal war to decapitate the terror group. “The day we kill Mumin will be the happiest day of my life,” he said. “He’s like a virus that has come here and infected our land with his ideology of hatred, and brought death and suffering to our people.”
Kristi Noem, the homeland security secretary, claimed on Sunday that the suspect in the national guard shooting in Washington DC was “radicalized” in the US and blamed the Biden administration, though the suspect’s asylum was approved under Donald Trump.
The shooting suspect, 29-year-old Rahmanullah Lakanwal, was granted asylum under the Trump administration in April 2025. He worked with CIA backed units in Afghanistan, coming to the US in September 2021 under an Operation Allies Welcome program.
“We believe he was radicalized since he’s been here in this country,” Noem said on NBC’s Meet the Press. “We do believe it was through connections in his home community and state, and we’re going to continue to talk to those who interacted with him, who were his family members, who talk to them.”
BRITISH people, according to polls and to ‘lived experience’, have a problem with Islam. That is not a ‘hate crime’, and we must be allowed to talk about it.
The problem is that Islam is both unregenerate and inherently resistant to regeneration. Other religions evolve, while maintaining their essence, as ‘time makes ancient good uncouth’. Islam does not do this. It cannot do this; or rather, it cannot do this without denying its foundational selling point: that the Koran is, quite literally, the word of God.
The fraud scandal that rattled Minnesota was staggering in its scale and brazenness.
Federal prosecutors charged dozens of people with felonies, accusing them of stealing hundreds of millions of dollars from a government program meant to keep children fed during the Covid-19 pandemic.
At first, many in the state saw the case as a one-off abuse during a health emergency. But as new schemes targeting the state’s generous safety net programs came to light, state and federal officials began to grapple with a jarring reality.
