A common complaint in Western countries is that Muslim jurors should not serve because “they always let their cousins off.” The remark is usually treated as a crude accusation of favouritism toward other Muslims or dismissed as “Islamophobia.” In reality it points to a deeper and well-documented difference in legal and moral rules.
Dutch authorities have arrested four teenagers with immigrant backgrounds in connection with an investigation into an alleged terrorist plot, with prosecutors accusing the suspects of preparing a terrorist attack while continuing to insist that no specific target or timing for an attack has yet been identified.
The latest arrest came on Friday evening, July 31st, when heavily armed officers from the police’s Special Intervention Service (DSI) detained an 18-year-old man at his home in Kesteren, Gelderland. Police searched the suspect’s home and seized electronic devices, including phones and laptops, for further examination.
Just a few hours before Abdul El-Sayed narrowly won the Democratic Senate primary in Michigan, he told me that he was going to “beat the shit” out of his Republican opponent, Mike Rogers, in the November general election. His tactic, he explained in a Detroit farmers’ market yesterday, would be to “staple his [Rogers’s] sins to his forehead.” What those sins were, El-Sayed wouldn’t say. He has in the past criticized Rogers as a “corporate shill” who prioritized pharmaceutical and corporate interests over Michiganders while in Congress.
It happened after the massacre on June 12, 2016, in which a jihadist named Omar Mateen murdered 49 people and wounded 58 at Pulse, a gay nightclub in Orlando. It happened after the shooting on June 25, 2022, in which an ISIS member killed two people and wounded 21 outside a gay bar in Oslo. And it happened again the other day, when a wannabe soldier of ISIS, Abdul Ballout, killed one person and wounded twenty-nine at Berlin Pride.
OTTAWA – U.S. President Donald Trump’s envoy for fighting antisemitism is urging Canada to revoke visas and expand terrorism listings to curb the rise of anti-Jewish hatred.
Rabbi Yehuda Kaploun, who spent seven years of his childhood in Ottawa, was appointed last December as U.S. special envoy to monitor and combat antisemitism, an ambassador-rank position.
“My message is to Canada, you need to do better,” Kaploun told The Canadian Press last week during a visit to Ottawa.
Trump’s man will trigger the Liberal Party.
A lot of unflattering articles today about Canada and the Islamist leanings of the Liberal-left.
OTTAWA — A former Ontario man and a Conservative U.S. think tank are encouraging the Trump administration to offer refugee status to Jewish Canadians who feel threatened by rising antisemitism here.
“With the urgency around the challenges and the inaction we see in Canada, an asylum pathway makes sense,” said Joe Roberts, the executive director of Jewish Tulsa, a group that has helped welcome Jews like himself to the Oklahoma city.
Roberts said thousands of Canadian Jews are seeking to escape constant fear over the firebombing of Jewish schools, temples and businesses.

Abdul El-Sayed SQUEAKS through with Michigan win as anguished Dems panic battleground seat may slip away
Progressive insurgent Abdul El-Sayed has been declared the winner of Tuesday’s rollercoaster Democratic primary for US Senate by NBC News.
El-Sayed’s slim victory over Congresswoman Haley Stevens is the most emphatic sign to date that the progressive wing of the Democratic Party is on the ascent, but not without baggage.
His single-point win will also raise new questions about whether his strength among base voters can translate to a general election this fall, as Democrats look to flip four seats necessary to secure a majority in the upper chamber.
DSA won Michigan US. Senate Primary this guy not gonna win.. statewide. 🤦🏽♂️ https://t.co/dk8hHrbB6s

This spring, Indiana’s Republican Lt. Gov. Micah Beckwith called Islam “a demonic death cult” and said Americans needed “permission to hate again.” The phrasing, at least as excerpted, was unfortunate, and the backlash has been as expected. Several Muslim advocacy groups have called Beckwith’s comments “dangerous” and “hateful.”
But it is worth asking what he was reaching for, because the impulse beneath the words is not imaginary or shameful. Americans sense, correctly, that some systems in the world aspire to unmake the freedoms that protect them and their children, and that a free people is entitled to say so plainly and to resist.
The Sweden Democrats (SD) are calling for a much tougher national response to Islamism, saying that the ideology poses one of the greatest threats to Swedish democracy in modern times.
In a recent debate article, party secretary Mattias Bäckström Johansson and MP Johnny Svedin said that decades of large-scale immigration from predominantly Muslim countries have reshaped parts of Sweden, creating neighborhoods where cultures and values are increasingly at odds with Swedish society.
There is a grim familiarity to the tragic deaths of two women in the news this week. Both young, beautiful and by all accounts kind, trusting souls, they were sympathetic to migrants and only had the best intentions towards them.
One was American, Jamey Carney, 43, who had resettled in her ancestral home of Killarney, Ireland. Soon after, she inherited over €400,000 from her father and then fell in love with a Jordanian man 15 years her junior, whom she met at a pro-Palestinian protest.
They got engaged, but on July 7 her daughter Michaela – aged just 13 – found her mother dead in her bedroom. She had been suffocated.
Taboo? Certainly to White Liberal Women, the media and our most vile pols. The sane among us have sounded the alarm publicly for many years.

More than half of Germans no longer believe their country is stable and safe following last week’s Islamist terror attack at Berlin’s Pride celebrations, according to a new opinion poll, highlighting growing public concern over the country’s failed migration policies.
The survey found that 51% of respondents rather or strongly disagreed with the statement that “Germany is a stable and safe country.” Only 37% agreed, while 12% said they were undecided.
The attack has had a direct impact on people’s sense of personal security.
Another mosque in France has been shut down, this one in a bleak north Paris suburb that usually makes headlines for criminal gangs and drug trafficking.
The Attaqwa mosque, surrounded by council housing and warehouses in a grim section of Aulnay-sous-Bois, was closed by authorities this week for allegedly propagating radical Islamist ideology and inciting terrorism. Videos posted on social media also showed an imam at the mosque exhorting Muslims to strike their small children if they don’t pray.
Non-Muslim officers and staff working at West Midlands Police have been invited to fast during Ramadan in an “act of solidarity”, The Telegraph can reveal.
The West Midlands Association of Muslim Police has said colleagues can take part in a fast for the day during the religious festival to raise money for charity.
West Midlands Police said the practice helped officers understand the “significance of Ramadan” for Muslim residents.
Greek police have charged a man in connection with the murder of a British woman whose body was found in a suitcase in Athens.
Elisabeth Jane Ross, 38 who was also known as Lisa, was discovered inside a suitcase by a homeless man in an abandoned car park in the Kypseli district of Athens on 18 July.
The man arrested is reported to be a 26-year-old Afghan national who confessed to the killing. He is believed to have met Ms Ross through her work helping refugees and homeless people.
