“Islamophobia”

The phenomenal rise of Reform UK in the local elections has triggered predictable howls of outrage from Left-wing quarters. “Fascist!”, “far Right!”, all the usual slurs. After a campaign spent depicting Nigel Farage as Britain’s next Hitler, the snowflakes are now in full meltdown at the terrifying prospect that the electorate might actually elect a “Nazi” as prime minister.

The hysteria reveals far more about the critics than it does about Reform. Those with a rational grasp of UK politics understand the truth: Farage’s party, now replete with former Conservatives and careful to distinguish itself from a harder-Right outfit in Rupert Lowe’s Restore, represents the least of Britain’s problems. While the Left obsesses over phantom threats on the Right, genuine extremism is flourishing elsewhere, cloaked not in Union flags but in the sanctimonious green of virtue-signalling radicalism.

Church of Montenach, France. Built between 1884 and 1886, it survived two world wars and was devastated by a fire on Sunday.

The numbers, cold as gravestones, speak clearly: dozens of churches are destroyed by fire every year, while other places of worship enjoy an inexplicable immunity. These are not meteorological accidents or random electrical faults. It is a pattern that challenges our ability to name reality without euphemisms.

The elites in Paris and Brussels, barricaded in their intellectual salons, prefer not to see, but the citizen smells the acrid odor of a planned dissolution.

The experiment is over, and the results are in: The British laboratory has blown up in the face of its creators. For decades, London has been the global capital of a specific, elitist delusion, according to which you could host any ideology, no matter how hostile to your way of life, and it would eventually be tamed by the sheer charm of the English Sunday roast and the rule of law. Complete nonsense, as it turns out.

THE Henry Jackson Society is one of today’s more worthy British institutions, defending as it does liberal democracy and what it terms ‘real’ human rights – presumably as opposed to a 6ft 3in bearded confused-dot-com’s imagined right to hike up his skirt in a ladies’ loo. It’s no surprise then that one of HSJ’s latest studies focuses on ‘Forecasting the Muslim Sectarian Wave’. It’s particularly topical as the nation heads to the polling booths today. Or not, in too many cases.

This is a very interesting piece and I recommend you pry yourself away from today’s UFO disclosure to read it.

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Three women who were among 13 Australians returning home from Syria were arrested at airports on Thursday on allegations of slavery and terrorism inside the Islamic State group’s former so-called caliphate, police said.

The four women and nine children, who have spent years in Roj Camp in the Syrian desert, landed on two Qatar Airways flights from Doha Thursday, a day after the Australian government announced their intention to return.

Stephen Nutt, the Australian Federal Police Assistant Commissioner for Counter Terrorism, said a 53-year-old woman who arrived at Melbourne Airport would be charged by Friday with four crimes against humanity including possessing a slave and engaging in slave trading.

Even before a single ballot has been counted, Islamic sectarianism has already emerged as one of the defining stories of these English local elections. Significant proportions of Muslim voters are expected to swing towards Green or Muslim independent candidates, and away from a Labour Party that could once depend on their vote. A new report by spiked columnist Rakib Ehsan for the Policy Exchange think-tank explains why.
