A woman accused of travelling to Syria, joining the Islamic State and marrying a number of its members has renounced the terror group and violent jihad, her lawyer says.
Rayann El Houli, 34, was due to apply for bail in Melbourne Magistrates Court on Monday morning but her barrister Peter Morrissey SC sought an adjournment.
He told the court the prosecution had raised concerns about El Houli’s risk of endangering the community, claiming there was a lack of evidence she had renounced ISIS.
The men of my tribe [extended family] threw my relative Kawthar Bashar al-Husayjawi, 15, into a pit and put a little dirt over her body. They had killed her hours earlier with 10 bullets, and split her small head with an axe. My family then joined others in coming on to the streets to dance and celebrate her death.
Kawthar lived in al-Nahrawan, a district in the south-east of Baghdad. She had been taken out of school and at age 13 forced to marry an alcoholic years older than her.
The left in the U.S. can’t win elections except by cheating, and that’s why leftists are fighting so fiercely against election reform. In Britain, meanwhile, the ruling Labour party is facing a challenge from a relatively new party, Reform UK, which wants to end the mass Muslim migration that has already transformed the UK and threatens to end its existence as a free society. Aware that it likely cannot win the next election, either,Labour is using charges of “Islamophobia” to try to destroy Reform, using the UK government as a tool.
He shouts “Allahu Akbar” and “death to the infidel” while stabbing four people, killing one, at a railway station outside Munich. Bavarian authorities immediately deny that he had “an Islamist motive.” Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann adds that the attacker had “mental disorders.”
In France, a Muslim man destroys Christmas decorations while shouting “Allahu Akbar”: The verdict: “His mental condition, judged deficient, required his hospitalization in the specialized hospital in Allonnes.”
Dutch right-wing broadcaster Raisa Blommestijn has fiercely criticized the justice system after an appeals court sentenced her to 30 hours of community service for statements concerning migration.
The Muslim Brotherhood is many things: a political organization with global presence; a secretive society, with high-level connections into business and government; a missionary body that seeks to maximize the presence of Islam around the world; an institution-builder, whose members are prolific in setting up organizations, putting its presence at one remove; a movement, stretching way beyond its Arab Muslim origins; and a network of networks that among other things allows Muslim and non-Muslim groups to fight alongside each other. It is associated with Hamas in Palestine and has past ties to Al-Qaeda. Its people put themselves forward as interlocutors, seeking to intercede between governments and their Muslim populations, using their networks as leverage. In some respects it is a state proxy, closely linked to Qatar and the Turkish regime of President Erdoğan. It is a charity promoter, working for the sake of Muslims and Islam worldwide, but especially in Palestine. And, last but not least, it is an ideology, with a commitment to Islamic supremacism and the defeat of the West.
These different aspects don’t always work in tandem. Indeed, the Brotherhood sometimes finds itself on different sides of political conflict. But such ambiguity can work to its advantage, creating leverage to maximize its interests and undermine its real enemies: to turn them against themselves and each other.
This week, the ONS published data on births during 2025. According to their data, for the first time over 40 per cent of children born in England and Wales had at least one foreign-born parent. This rate has risen from 34 per cent in 2021, pre-Boriswave. As recently as 2008 children of foreign parents were only 30 per cent of the population and in 1998, before the ‘Blairwave’, they represented fewer than 20 per cent of births.
In March, US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard warned that “the spread of Islamist ideology, in some cases led by individuals and organizations associated with the Muslim Brotherhood” poses a threat as it seeks to establish “an Islamist caliphate which governs based on Sharia.” Gabbard went on to say that “there are increasing examples of this in various European countries.”
A Montrealer with past links to al-Qaida who was arrested last year pleaded guilty on Friday to making terrorist threats, including a claim made at a homeless shelter that he wanted to build bombs to “kill a million people.”

Two Minnesota fraudsters allegedly swindled more than $21 million in funding earmarked for autism services through two bogus companies and then spent it lavishly on overseas property, officials said.
Shamso Ahmed Hassan, 55, and Hanaan Mursal Yusuf, 25, whose mugshots were released on Wednesday, made off like bandits by submitting millions of dollars in fake claims to Minnesota’s Early Intensive Development and Behavioral Intervention Program [EIDBI] between May 2020 and December 2024, authorities said.

On May 18 in Toronto, at a Muslim Association of Canada (MAC) convention, a youth session titled “Visionaries of the Ummah: Youth Activism Lab” encouraged high school and university students to consider how they could help revive the ummah — the global community of Muslims united by faith beyond borders. During the session, Canadian-Egyptian activist Khaled Al-Qazzaz praised the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, and at least one person publicly, likely more, shared their desire that the community they work toward be “Jew free.”
A woman with links to the Islamic State group who returned to Australia from Syria last year has been charged with being a member of a terrorist organisation and entering a declared conflict zone, police have said.
The 34-year-old arrived in Australia in September along with another woman, police said, and was to appear in a Melbourne court on Thursday.
