Counter-terror police investigate Iran link to suspected RAF base bomb plot

Counter-terrorism police are investigating whether Iran was behind a suspected bomb plot targeting an RAF base used by US forces.

Five men have been arrested under the Explosives Act and on suspicion of preparing a terrorist act after three suspicious vans were spotted travelling towards RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire in the early hours of Sunday.

Police received a call at around 12.45am reporting three suspicious vehicles apparently heading towards the air base, prompting armed officers to respond. The five men were arrested in the nearby Whelford area.

London schoolgirl who recruited Shamima Begum for Isis is found alive and may face death penalty over Berlin terror attack

London schoolgirl who recruited Shamima Begum for Isis is found alive and may face death penalty over Berlin terror attack

The British jihadi bride who recruited Shamima Begum into ISIS has been arrested in Syria after being linked to a terror attack in Germany, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.

Sharmeena Begum, now 27, who left her east London home for Syria as a schoolgirl in December 2014, was traced after German police investigating July’s Berlin Pride attack found she had exchanged messages with knife-man Abdul Ballout.

He is understood to have sent Sharmeena – no relation to her former schoolmate Shamima – a video of himself swearing his oath of allegiance to ISIS, which she was allegedly meant to pass to the group’s propaganda chief for release online after the attack.

Islamic Finance: What “Interest-Free” Banking Really Means

Islamic Finance: What “Interest-Free” Banking Really Means

Islamic finance is usually presented to Western audiences in reassuring terms. Muslims, we are told, are forbidden to pay or receive interest. Conventional mortgages therefore exclude observant Muslims from home ownership. Islamic finance provides an ethical alternative based on shared risk, responsible investment and interest-free banking. But is this true, and is it right?

Islamic finance is not simply ordinary banking with the interest removed. It is finance intended to comply with Sharia and presented as Sharia-compliant, requiring Islamic authorities to determine what is permitted, how transactions must be structured, which businesses may receive investment, and whether individual financial products meet Islamic requirements. Whether the resulting products actually conform to those principles is another question.

Muslims Support Terrorism and That’s a Good Thing

Muslims Support Terrorism and That’s a Good Thing

“Muslim friends and citizens, tax-paying citizens, and Muslims in nations were just appalled and could not believe what we saw on our TV screens. These acts of violence against innocents violate the fundamental tenets of the Islamic faith. And it’s important for my fellow Americans to understand that,” President George W. Bush had claimed in remarks at a mosque after 9/11 while accompanied by terror-linked Islamists. “The face of terror is not the true faith of Islam. That’s not what Islam is all about. Islam is peace. These terrorists don’t represent peace.”

German Priest Calls Islam ‘Alternative Christianity’, Muslims ‘Younger Siblings’ on 9/11

German Priest Calls Islam ‘Alternative Christianity’, Muslims ‘Younger Siblings’ on 9/11

German Catholic priest and theology professor has drawn heavy criticism after describing Islam as an ‘alternative form of Christianity’ and dismissing concerns about the Islamization of Germany. His argument, published on the anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks, is considered by many to be an attempt to minimize fundamental differences between the two religions while ignoring the threats that political Islam poses to Western civilization.

The author of the controversial piece is Oliver Wintzek, professor of dogmatics and fundamental theology at the Catholic University of Applied Sciences in Mainz and a priest at the Jesuit church in Mannheim.

Why Texas is at war with Islam

Why Texas is at war with Islam

As the Global War on Terror got underway at the turn of the 21st century, then-President George W. Bush sharply distinguished Islam and Islamism. Islam, in this telling, was a global faith counting more than a billion adherents, including a few million in America, the overwhelming majority of them peaceful and loyal. Islamism was the noxious ideology that inspired 9/11 and numerous other attacks of the kind. Islam meant “peace,” as Bush insisted. Islamism meant war and terror.

In the years that followed, a few cultural flashpoints brought Islam’s place in America into public contestation. Even so, Bush’s distinction more or less held. But not anymore. Today, politicians and activists from his home state of Texas are promulgating school curricula that underscore the violent dimensions of Islam, mounting fierce opposition to new mosque proposals, and objecting to recent demographic changes in overtly racial and religious terms.

‘We Want Islam For This Country’: Muslims In Texas Lay Out Vision For Islamic America

‘We Want Islam For This Country’: Muslims In Texas Lay Out Vision For Islamic America

Shaykh Uthman ibn Farooq laid out a vision for an Islamic America during a livestreamed event at the Sufaraa Center in McKinney, Texas, last week. Authentic Ilm Mission, which hosted the event, has plans for a 40,000-square-foot facility near Plano, Texas, and used the livestream featuring Farooq to fundraise for the multipurpose school and Islamic community center.

“We love this country,” Farooq said. “We want good for this country. And that’s why we want Islam for this country, ’cause we think that’s the best thing. And we’re not going to be ashamed of that.”

Muslims Caught Transporting Kidnapped Teens Across US-Canadian Border

Muslims Caught Transporting Kidnapped Teens Across US-Canadian Border

There’s been a great deal of focus on our border with Mexico, less so on the Canadian border, in part because of the sheer size of it and also because it hasn’t been as ‘hot’. But many of the incidents that we’ve had on the border have involved Muslims including two plots, one of which targeted LAX airport, and there seems to be a growing number of cases of Muslims transporting kidnapped teens across the border.

The Muslim Brotherhood’s Campaign to Islamize Canada

The Muslim Brotherhood’s Campaign to Islamize Canada

The Muslim Brotherhood’s Islamist architecture in Canada is manifested in an interlocking network of student organizations, advocacy groups, and charitable entities, which create permission structures for the normalization of anti-Western sentiment, extremism, terrorism, and antisemitism. The success of this ideologically driven campaign to alter Canadian values and torque Canadian institutions has been broadly visible since Oct. 7, 2023, and can be measured concretely in street demonstrations and in violence directed against Jews, both of which have been driven by the mobilization networks, the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy documented in a report published last month. The larger political effects of these campaigns can also be seen in the changes in government policy as the Liberal Party has embraced the concrete policy demands of a constituency that is organized to infiltrate institutional structures and apply political pressure using the rules of Canadian democracy to support anti-liberal values and undemocratic political actors.


This is not news, and that makes it all the more depressing.

Islamist entryism is aided by our political class.

They actively cultivate the MB and Muslims in general for their votes.

Infamously Carney informed us that Muslim values are Canadian values.

Canada is being eaten alive.

Police investigating threatening email sent to Muslim schools across Canada

Police investigating threatening email sent to Muslim schools across Canada

A number of regional police forces in Ontario have launched an investigation into an email sent to Islamic schools across Canada over the course of this week, which threatened to kill Muslims unless they are deported.

The Muslim Association of Canada, which runs the nine private schools that received the email, said they alerted municipal police in Ontario, Vancouver and Montreal, as well as the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, on Thursday morning.


These are Muslim Brotherhood schools.

My guess is no one will ever be identified as a suspect let alone convicted.
