One of Britain’s leading Muslim online preachers has lost a libel case after a judge ruled an article which portrays him as a “street agitator” who whips up mobs is substantially true.

Mohammed Hegab, who has 1.3 million YouTube subscribers under the name Mohammed Hijab, complained about an article published in The Spectator magazine.

The article by Douglas Murray, headlined “Leicester and the downside with diversity”, began with the observation that “if you import the world’s people you import the world’s problems”. It referred to videos that Hegab had filmed of clashes between Muslims and Hindus in Leicester and of speeches to his supporters in London and at anti-Israeli protests.

It’s a story that one might expect to come out of Tehran or Lahore. Instead, it comes from Lyon, France. The French-language CNews reported that “a man was sentenced this Wednesday by the Lyon Criminal Court to one year in prison for burning a Quran in front of a mosque in Villeurbanne (Rhône) last June.”

This had been a long time in the offing, and now it’s happening with increasing frequency. For years, Western governments refrained from crossing the line and levying criminal charges against someone for violating Islamic blasphemy laws. Then in Britain in June, a Turkish dissident, Hamit Coskun, was fined for burning a Qur’an. And now this.

A migrant staying in a hotel in Greater Manchester has been charged with attempting to kidnap a 10-year-old girl.

Edris Abdelrazig, 30, allegedly tried to abduct the girl in Stockport on July 13, while she was out with her father.

Mr Abdelrazig is a Sudanese national who had been staying in a three-star, £100-a-night hotel, The Sun reported.

While the United States and Israel have carried the backbreaking burden of confronting the Iranian regime’s nuclear threat with courage and real-world action, some European leaders have once again decided to play the coward’s role — not just by refusing to stand up to Iran, but by actively enabling it.

As Israeli and American forces took awe-inspiring steps to cripple Iran’s nuclear weapons program and weaken the Islamic Republic’s regional power projection, the leaders of the EU3 — France, Germany, and the United Kingdom — have been busy smiling across negotiating tables, scheming behind closed doors to help the regime survive. At a time when moral clarity is desperately needed, these European leaders, in what appears a toxic lust for trade profits, appears to be choosing hypocrisy and appeasement.

England, Germany, France like most Euro states have large Muslim populations capable of civil war scale violence. They will face a worse future than they know.
