Vatican ‘grants request for Muslim prayer room’

The Vatican has granted Muslim scholars’ request for a prayer room.

In an interview with Italian newspaper La Repubblica, Father Giacomo Cardinali, the Vice Prefect of the Vatican Library, said the ancient institution is now allowing academics an area to practice their own religion onsite.

He said: ‘Some Muslim scholars asked us for a room with a prayer rug, and we gave it to them.’

Aschaffenburg Germany: Afghan knife attacker goes on trial

About nine months after a deadly knife attack on a group of nursery school children in Bavaria, court proceedings have begun to determine whether the suspect can be held criminally responsible.

The Aschaffenburg District Court is examining whether Enamullah O., a 28-year-old Afghan man who is believed to suffer from mental illness, was legally sane at the time of the January 22, 2025, attack.

Prosecutors, citing a forensic-psychiatric report suggesting insanity, are seeking his permanent confinement in a psychiatric hospital.

Prosecutors say there is no indication the man had extremist or terrorist motivations.

Christian Villages Are Burning While Syrian President Speaks at UN

Ahmed Hussein al-Sharaa/Abu Mohammad al-Julani, a former Syrian al-Qaeda leader and a former ISIS (Islamic State) terrorist, is now the current, self-ascribed ‘president’ of Syria. He was in New York addressing the 80th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) at the U.N. headquarters on September 24. Meanwhile, his Islamist regime was burning homes, villages, and forests in what is known as the Valley of Christians in Syria.

Julani has since returned to Syria, where his regime continues to murder and persecute members of religious minorities.

The truth about Sharia law in Britain

Islamic law has a far more pernicious influence than our political class will admit.

In an incendiary speech to the United Nations General Assembly last month, Donald Trump claimed that the UK wants ‘to go to Sharia law’. UK prime minister Keir Starmer called the claim ‘nonsense’ and ‘ridiculous’. But could there be a grain of truth behind the US president’s bluster?

The Young American Woman Who Fights For Our Enemies

“Glory to all the martyrs. Glory to the Axis of Resistance. May we witness victory in our lifetimes,” a young American woman told her Iranian hosts in a clip circulated in July. “Marg bar Âmrikâ. Marg bar Israel”—in English: “Death to America, Death to Israel.”

The woman’s name is Calla Walsh, and her journey to that stage in Tehran is a strange one. The child of professors, Walsh, now 21, took an interest in politics in high school. Her campaigns for prominent figures like Boston city councilor Julia Mejia and Senator Ed Markey once earned her praise in Boston magazine as part of the “Gen Z” takeover of Boston politics. Four years later, Walsh’s latest campaign is in Lebanon, where she effectively serves as a mouthpiece for the Axis of Resistance. She now considers the label “terrorist” a “badge of honor.” Walsh did not respond to requests for comment for this article.

Jamie Sarkonak: Anti-Israel artist blames ‘Zionist narratives’ for cancelled TDSB workshop with students

On Thursday, the Toronto District School Board had planned to put more than 2,600 students in an Arabic calligraphy workshop run by a niqab-wearing woman who uses her art to call for the obliteration of Israel. It was cancelled just in time, but questions remain: Why was such an event approved in the first place? And why isn’t the school board reviewing its vendor screening procedures?

Palestinian who raped a 13-year-old boy then beat him to death with an iron bar is among prisoners freed under hostage deal

A Palestinian man who raped a 13-year-old boy before beating him to death with an iron bar is among the prisoners to be freed by Israel under the hostage deal.

Ahmed Mahmed Jameel Shahada was put behind bards in 1989 after luring teenager Oren Bahrami to a monastery in Jaffa, Tel Aviv, before raping him and beating him to death.

Oren’s parents, from south of Tel Aviv, reported him missing in April 1989. Detectives working on the case initially suspected he had been kidnapped by terrorists, after finding his abandoned bike in a Jaffa port.

Wave of knife attacks underscores Germany’s struggle to assimilate refugees

LONDON — A brutal August knife attack on an American who stepped in to defend young women from harassment on a train in Dresden, Germany, has reignited a fiery debate over immigration policies that increasingly have become the focus of national elections.

John Rudat, a part-time model, was slashed across the face in an attack that is expected to leave him permanently disfigured. A person briefly detained in the case is a Syrian refugee, but officials have not arrested or identified any suspected assailant.

The attack follows other high-profile crimes this year and in years past involving migrants who have flocked to Germany to take advantage of the country’s immigration-friendly policies.
