‘Suicidal Empathy’: Is the West Committing Suicide-by-Compassion?

The theory of “suicidal empathy,” taken up and developed by Canadian Professor Gad Saad in his book Suicidal Empathy: Dying to Be Kind, describes a psychological and societal condition in which excessive or misguided compassion leads Western societies — particularly, it seems, “progressive” ones — to adopt self-destructive attitudes and policies that will ultimately “succeed” in destroying them. The process, however well-intentioned, is a form of civilizational suicide.

According to Saad’s thesis, empathy becomes misdirected into a type of benevolent altruism that prioritizes the perceived feelings and needs of “marginalized” or external groups at the expense of the survival, security, and interests of one’s own group and its values. The outcome is the weakening, and ultimately the destruction, of the very civilization that expressed this emotion.

France: Asylum seeker assistance worker stabbed to death by her pro-Taliban Afghan refugee husband

Inès, who was stabbed to death on Monday, had filed six complaints against her former partner, an Afghan refugee, for violence and harassment, all to no avail. Her mother described him as a “dangerous” and “extremist” man who “did not want to integrate” and “intended to return to Afghanistan.”

Inès worked for an organization that helps migrants, particularly with administrative procedures. It was in this capacity that she met the accused man. A “dangerous” and “extremist” man who “didn’t want to integrate” and “intended to return to Afghanistan.” “He said the Taliban were heroes.”

When Inès met the man who would become the prime suspect in her murder, the young woman seemed oblivious to the warnings from her loved ones. Angélique had repeatedly alerted her to her partner’s unstable personality. “I didn’t like him when I saw him,” confides her mother, who describes the man as “a big macho” with “the mentality of his country.” Despite everything, the young woman stayed for two years: “I think she was in denial; she thought she could change him,” she continues.

Woman faints after being caned 140 times under Indonesian province’s sharia law

Sharia police have caned a couple 140 times each in Indonesia’s Aceh province for having sex outside marriage and drinking alcohol, likely one of the severest such punishments since the deeply conservative region adopted Islamic law.

Sexual relations between an unmarried couple are strictly outlawed in Aceh, the only place in Indonesia, the world’s largest Muslim-majority nation, to impose sharia law.

Girl, 12, ‘raped in park after being pursued by asylum seekers’

A 12-year-old girl was raped in a daylight attack after being “targeted” by two asylum seekers, a court was told.

In Sweden, Two Ex-Muslims Burned a Qur’an

Salwan Momika

Can you guess what happened to one of them?

And the other one is desperate to be given asylum in the United States, for he has lost faith in the Swedish government’s ability to protect him. His story, and that of his murdered friend, should be covered on 60 Minutes and in the New York Times, while Senator John Fetterman and Congressmen Ritchie Torres should demand that the survivor of the pair, now in the U.S., at once be granted permanent asylum.

EU classifies Iran’s IRGC as terrorists over slaughter of protesters

The European Union has blacklisted Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps as terrorists over the bloody suppression of anti-government protests, putting pressure on Sir Keir Starmer to act.

France swung its weight behind the proposal on Wednesday night after similar calls from Germany, Italy and Spain.

“If you act as a terrorist, you should also be treated as terrorists,” said Kaja Kallas, the EU’s foreign affairs chief, adding that the classification puts them “on the same footing” as al-Qaeda, Hamas and Islamic State.

Mother of man jailed in Syria for Islamic State links calls for his repatriation to UK or Canada

The mother of a British-born man detained for nearly nine years without trial in Syria has called for his repatriation to the UK or Canada as the US plans to airlift 7,000 Islamic State-linked prisoners from Syria to Iraq.

Sally Lane, the mother of Jack Letts, 30, said she was “frantically trying to find out as much as possible” and that it was unclear if he would face the death penalty in Iraq or remain in Syria – or be sent to Canada or the UK in line with US demands.

Neither the Canadian nor British government has updated her after an outbreak of fighting in Syria last week left the future of Letts and other prisoners from up to 70 countries uncertain. “We’ve heard absolutely nothing. They think we don’t deserve to know,” Lane said.

Immigration Figures: Why the Invasion of France Isn’t a Fantasy

The 2025 immigration figures for France have just been published, and, unsurprisingly, they paint a catastrophic picture, with a constant and sustained increase in arrivals on French territory. However, these figures only cover legal immigration: if we add estimates of illegal arrivals, it becomes clear that the feeling of being overwhelmed by an invasion experienced by many French people is not just a figment of their imagination.

France issued 384,230 first residence permits—valid for up to 12 months—last year, an increase of 11.2% over the previous year. This figure is essential because it is the ultimate indicator for measuring legal immigration, as Nicolas Pouvreau-Monti, director of the Observatory of Immigration and Demography, points out in an interview for Atlantico. It does not include renewals of residence permits, European foreigners, or minors, which means that it is actually a low estimate of the number of arrivals.

Amelia Victorious: How to Lose the Culture War With a Video Game

There’s something genuinely funny going on in the United Kingdom right now.

The British government’s Prevent office, housed under the Home Office (think Department of the Interior, but allergic to dissent), partnered with a media nonprofit called Shout Out UK (like a PBS focused on preventing “radicalism”) to come up with a clever new way to re-educate British youth.

Another woman pays the price for the UK’s broken borders

Is the occasional rape something modern Britain is willing to tolerate before the authorities will get a grip on the border? It’s certainly starting to seem that way.

Yesterday, after a five-day trial at Birmingham Crown Court, a Pakistani national was found guilty of raping an 18-year-old girl in Nottinghamshire. Sheraz Malik, 28, met his victim at Sutton Lawn Park, Sutton-in-Ashfield, on 29 June last year. The girl had been drinking with a male friend, and was drunk when she was introduced to Malik. He was among a larger group of older men.

Canada’s “Islamophobia” Day: The State-Backed Campaign to Protect Sharia, Criminalize Criticism, and Silence a Nation

Canada has declared January 29 a national day to combat “Islamophobia.” The event is promoted by NCCM – originally CAIR-Canada, the Canadian arm of a U.S. based lobby group with a history of foreign funding – now rebranded and federally funded in Canada. It is also authorized by the Canadian Council of Imams to collect zakat ‘in the cause of Allah’ (fi sabilillah), a doctrinal category that includes jihad.
