The Libyan man who plotted an attack on the Israeli embassy in Germany was a failed asylum seeker, according to German news agency dpa.
The man, identified as Omar A., was arrested on Saturday, October 19th in Bernau, a town just outside of Berlin. “He intended to carry out a high-profile attack with firearms on the Israeli embassy in Berlin,” the prosecutor’s office said. He also reportedly exchanged information with a member of the Islamic State terror group.
Internet chatter and Oklahoma arrest of alleged would-be IS attacker indicate terror group’s planning
After the FBI arrested an Afghan man in Oklahoma planning an election day shooting on behalf of the Islamic State, the terrorist organization re-entered what has become one of the most chaotic news cycles leading up to a November vote.

Islamist terrorist groups in the UK could get a “boost” after the death of Hamas’s leader, a former head of MI6 has said.
Yahya Sinwar, the chief architect of the October 7 attack on Israel which murdered about 1,200 people in the south of the country, was killed by the IDF on Wednesday.
Sir John Sawers, who led the UK’s foreign intelligence agency between 2009 and 2014, told Sky News that “Islamic terrorism may actually get a further boost, if that’s the right word, from events in the Middle East”.
It’s getting harder to recall a time when the west did not have to worry about Muslim terrorists.

OTTAWA — It was September 2000, and Charlotte Kates was in college when violence erupted in the West Bank and Gaza.
It was the beginning of what would become known as the second intifada — a violent uprising whose Arabic name means “shaking off”— that left around 4,000 civilians dead and saw Palestinian terrorists carry out suicide bombings in Israel, triggering an Israeli military retaliation.
“… Post-War liberalism unilaterally disarmed Europe of the right to exercise an in-group preference for respective countries’ cultures, histories, and peoples. It compelled us to treat everyone with the false anthropology of the Blank Slate: as if all cultural, geographical, and biological differences are inconsequential, and easily remedied by technocrats turning the dials of education and economic opportunity. Liberalism is recalcitrant to recognise how involuntary factors — like ethnic and cultural heritage — may influence one’s likelihood of buying into a civilization’s story. It has, paradoxically, placed upon Europe the burden of unique, non-expungable guilt for past atrocities, thinning out its history to a list of grievances requiring recompense. Such optimism is the furthest thing from Nazi racial determinism; but sacrifices the ability to stake a claim in any one conception of the good. Liberalism is, as James Burnham said, “the ideology of Western suicide”.
This is a long and at times dense read but worth your while as it touches on the ills of multiculturalism, mass immigration, minority grievance culture, cultural relativism and all the other crap that has turned western nations into borderline 3rd world shitholes.

August 26 marked ten years since the publication of the Jay Report, an independent inquiry into child sexual exploitation in the British town of Rotherham. The 2014 report found that at least 1,400 underage girls were abused predominantly by Muslim men of Pakistani heritage between 1997 and 2013 in this South Yorkshire town.
“It is hard to describe the appalling nature of the abuse that child victims suffered,” the report noted.
A vile predator who killed an NHS worker by repeatedly orally raping her as she lay unconscious on a park bench was today convicted of manslaughter.

An immigrant restaurant owner who fled Iraq 20 years ago has left Sweden and returned to his home country because of the violent crime he faced in his Stockholm suburb.

When British-Kashmiri Shagufta Rashid migrated to the UK from Pakistan in 1990, she was already a married woman with a stable home life. Her husband was also her cousin, but in her culture, especially at the time, it was considered normal.
The couple had five children and things were going well.
“All of my kids were very intelligent and beautiful,” she told DW. The first sign of trouble, however, came with one of her daughters complaining of poor eyesight.
“I recall one instance where we were ordered to turn over a shipping container of captured Taliban weapons to the Afghan government, and I told the Major in charge of the mission “You know these are going right back to the Taliban as soon as we leave, right?” Without hesitation he responded, “Oh yes, I know.”
This story that Jesse Petrilla tells in If It Takes a Thousand Years: From Al-Qaeda to Hamas, How the Jihadists Think & How to Defeat Them’is part of the larger reason why we not only lost Afghanistan, but why we’re losing to Islamic terrorists around the world and at home.
