German authorities said a 22-year-old Syrian man was arrested in Berlin on Saturday on suspicion of preparing a “jihadi” attack.
The suspect was planning “a jihadi-motivated attack,” according to a spokesman for Berlin prosecutors. A unit of the police Special Task Force (SEK) had been deployed to take the man into custody.
German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt said the arrest showed “the terrorist threat in Germany, though often abstract, remains heightened.”
As the world waits for New York’s first Islamo-Communist mayor—hailed alike by the overtly malicious and the terminally stupefied—it may be worth stepping back to ask what the advent of Zohran Mamdani, the pampered 34-year-old rich kid who was born in Uganda, tells us about the decay of liberalism.
In many ways, Mamdani—who, as I write this, is a comfortable 10-15 points ahead in the polls—is just the latest avatar of the AOC-Ilhan Omar wing of the Democratic party. He loves talking about (re)distributing the wealth of others, defunding the police, arresting Benjamin Netanyahu, and penalizing “landlords,” which last is just one of his many code words for Jews.
For outdoorsy pursuits, Canada is in the very top of the leagues. The best skiing in the world is arguably at Whistler near Vancouver; I was blown away by my childhood experience there, almost literally, for there is a constant barrage of fresh snow. It is generally very wintry in Canada and it is the world’s great ice hockey nation.
Nature is big and beautiful throughout the northernmost Commonwealth land in all seasons, and if you have disposable income, you can eat very well too. There is first-rate sushi, Franco-American dishes like the famous poutine, which is a mishmash of chips doused in meat and gravy, and craft beers galore. There is even a mini-slice of France, north American-style, in Montreal and Quebec, where the majority still speak French (for now).
What’s happening to our doctors? Researchers at an organisation called Do No Harm recently found that American healthcare professionals were more than two times likelier to be anti-Semitic than their share of the workforce, and that physicians are nearly 26 times overrepresented among individuals identified as having publicly shared anti-Semitic content. This is a worrying tendency which seems common across the West. A few weeks ago a UK-based doctor was accused of denying the Holocaust and celebrating the Hamas attacks of 2023; in August a doctor in Liverpool who praised Adolf Hitler was let back into work; a med-school student in Quebec was revealed in October to be the moderator of a Discord channel hosting anti-Semitic slurs; earlier this year two Australian nurses were suspended for threatening Jewish patients.
The West always likes refugee stories. Not all of them. Not this one. Not the story of a Christian who fled from the East to live and died in the West for believing.
It was 10:30 p.m. when the Assyrian Ashur Sarnaya returned to the apartment he shared with his sister in Lyon, in a quiet neighborhood where public housing stands alongside student campuses, corporate offices, and a few shops. The 45-year-old Iraqi Christian refugee from the Assyrian-Chaldean community was disabled from birth and used a wheelchair. That evening, as usual, he went live on TikTok to talk about his faith. Ashur made his videos in Arabic or Aramaic. During the livestream, Ashur Sarnaya was slit in the throat and lay dying in his wheelchair.
“These atrocities are just part of a continuing wave of attacks by the Islamic State Mozambique (IS-M), which has been active in northern Mozambique since 2017, killing an estimated 1,800 Christians and displacing more than half a million people. The militants … establish roadblocks to intercept travelers, particularly Christians, who are charged “tolls” ranging from $150 to $460 to continue their journeys. IS-M continues to demand that Christians convert to Islam, submit to IS authority and pay jizya (“tribute”), or face death. — Barnabas Aid, September 14, 2025, Mozambique.”
Grooming gang family members have been applying for jobs at charities to “threaten and intimidate” victims into silence, The Times has been told.
Despite perpetrators being on watchlists or in prison, their relatives have routinely tried to “infiltrate” organisations that support the survivors of sexual exploitation.
Paul O’Rourke, the managing director of Next Stage Youth Development, which has helped four girls abused by Rochdale grooming gangs, said the problem was “really common” in the sector but has been overlooked amid the national outcry.
Islam breeds monsters.
Earlier this month, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) published “Islamophobia: A Guide for U.S. Catholics on Anti-Muslim Bigotry.” Showcased on the USCCB website with a lovely Islamic design cover, this 15-page booklet exhorts Catholics to “address the disturbing phenomenon of anti-Muslim sentiment in our times.”
Introduced by the co-chairs of the National Catholic-Muslim Dialogue (NCMD) — Bishop Elias Lorenzo of Newark and Imam Kareem Irfan — the USCCB declares dire need to counter “the rising tide of anti-Muslim sentiment that has been present for decades.”
The story about the ‘terrorist’ raid in Dearborn, Michigan, is still developing but there’s an interesting footnote to it that should really be the lead.
Normally the FBI coordinates with local authorities if it’s planning a raid and major arrests in a city.
A month ago, Raheel Raza, a high-profile Muslim Pakistani Canadian journalist, beloved human rights activist, and fearless critic of Islamist extremism, learned that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is targeting her.
Despite media exposing her plight, no Canadian official reached out to discuss the Iranian Armed Forces’ IRGC terror squad distributing her photo and profile to proxies on its internal network and X. This is only one IRGC method that potentially endangers critics it wants to silence.

I have met Raheel in the sorta long ago past. A steady woman.
The number of Islamist crimes in Baden-Württemberg has more than tripled between 2020 and 2024, according to state government data obtained from a parliamentary inquiry by Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) representative Sandro Scheer.
In 2020, 39 crimes classified as “Islamism/Fundamentalism” were recorded in the state, rising to 105 in 2024.
The east-London borough of Tower Hamlets has long been a byword for the failure of multiculturalism in the UK, with the area’s large Bangladeshi Muslim population increasingly voting along ethno-religious lines.
Reports on Friday that members of the local council are seeking election in Bangladesh are therefore, to put it mildly, not a good look. According to the Standard, three Tower Hamlets councillors have won the endorsement of the Bangladeshi National Party to fight the 2026 elections, slated for February. The Westminster government has described it as ‘unacceptable’, but so far the councillors are unrepentant. A spokesperson for Tower Hamlets council has insisted that the councillors have broken no law, in England or Bangladesh.

Canada’s Arab population has tripled over the past two decades to nearly 800,000 people, with most having immigrated from North Africa and the Middle East, according to new data from Statistics Canada.
… Nearly 70% of Arab Canadians identified as Muslim, while 21% said they were Christian.
Appallingly, progressive Jews are supporting an unhinged Jew-hater because they define this stance as conscience.
With the Islamist Zohran Mamdani poised to be elected mayor of New York City next week, many have been scratching their heads over how any Jew could be voting for him.
Mamdani is an Islamic terrorism sympathizer.
He supports a boycott of Israel and doesn’t believe that the Jewish state should exist.
He sees nothing wrong in chants of “globalize the intifada.”
The Quebec government has passed a law extending the province’s ban on religious symbols to everyone who interacts with students in schools.
The law also prohibits students from wearing face coverings in a bid to strengthen secularism in schools.
The new legislation expands on a secularism law from 2019 that banned religious symbols for public employees deemed to be in positions of authority, including teachers, judges and police officers.
