From caviar to Qatar: the European left that aged badly and ended worse

In the gauche caviar, in the end, it was the caviar that prevailed.

Jack Lang, untouchable for half a century, fell because of Jeffrey Epstein. At parties Lang used to say: “French culture is me”.

And now the party is over. Lang tried to save himself by becoming the de facto ambassador of Qatar, praising the role of the emirate-sponsor of Hamas-in “spreading Islam in Europe” and “defending Palestine.”

I would scream in my sleep: Women from Syria’s Alawite minority tell of kidnap and rape

Ramia was preparing for a family picnic, on a warm summer day in her village in Latakia province in western Syria, when a white car drove up, she said.

Three armed men got out, saying they were government security forces, and dragged her into the vehicle, the teenager, whose name has been changed for her safety and to protect her identity, told the BBC World Service.

The men beat her, she said, hitting her harder when she started crying and screaming.

Democrats Call to Censure Rep. Randy Fine for Saying America Will Choose Pet Dogs over Muslim Supremacy

Democratic politicians have found themselves indirectly defending Islam’s 7th-century hatred of man’s best friend, dogs.

Several Democrats have instinctively accused Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL) of racism after he reacted to a New York-based Muslim advocate, Nerdeen Kiswani — who said house pet dogs will not be welcome in a non-secular, Islamic New York.


Remigration looks better every day.

UK: Burning the Quran is disorder, Crown Prosecution Service insists in Trump ‘asylum’ case

Hamit Coskun’s conviction for a religiously aggravated offence was quashed on appeal but is back in the High Court. The United States is taking an interest

Burning books in central London is not an “intrinsic” public disorder, the High Court was told during an appeal for a man who burnt a Quran outside the Turkish embassy.

Hamit Coskun was found guilty of a religiously aggravated public order offence last June, after shouting “f*** Islam” and holding the flaming Islamic text aloft during a protest in Knightsbridge, on February 13 last year.

What is happening to Syria’s IS camps and their former residents?

Humanitarians warned for years that the camps in north-east Syria holding tens of thousands of family members of suspected Islamic State (IS) fighters would have to be dealt with. Calling them a “ticking time bomb”, relief groups said the women and children could not just be left to rot in squalid desert camps indefinitely, because eventually they would come home.

Despite the warnings, most states ignored the problem, refusing to repatriate their citizens. At least 8,000 women and children from more than 40 countries have been stranded in the camps of north-east Syria since 2019.

This week, they started to come home. Belgian authorities reported a woman charged in absentia for IS membership had made her way from Turkey to Belgium. An Albanian woman, kidnapped as a child by her father and taken to Syria, managed to smuggle herself to Turkey, where she requested travel documents.

France: Muslim Foreigners Voting?

The left in France is pushing for a law that would give non-EU foreigners — most of them Muslims from North Africa — the right to vote in municipal elections. That could mean some city halls being taken over by Muslims, voting as a bloc, or by Muslim-pandering leftists of La France Insoumise. Once in power in city and town halls, these Muslims or Muslim-submissive leftists could pass local laws that promote Islam in a hundred sundry ways: turning over city-owned property to be repurposed as mosques, allowing the call to prayer to be electronically amplified, even in pre-dawn and late-evening hours, having school lunchrooms closed during Ramadan, making Muslim holidays into city holidays, ending coeducational swimming in the city-run pools, and much more to accommodate Muslim sensibilities.

ISIS Ho’s from Oz and their spawn sent back to Syrian detention camp after initial release

Australian women and children held for years without charge were forced to return to a detention camp in northeast Syria on Monday after being released by Kurdish authorities for their expected repatriation to Australia.

The 34 women and children in the group are the wives, widows and children of dead or jailed Islamic State fighters and were being held at al-Roj camp, which is controlled by the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).

They were initially handed over to relatives who had helped arrange for their repatriation and were on their way to Damascus to leave the country when they were asked to stop on the way and turn back to the camp.

‘Dragged out and set on fire’ – the Bangladesh mob killing that shocked the world

The morning before he died, Dipu Chandra Das left home at first light, stepping out of his tin-sheet house in Bangladesh’s Mymensingh city, overlooking a warren of lanes off the highway from Dhaka.

The 28-year-old woke up his father, said goodbye to his wife, cradled his 18-month-old daughter. Then he boarded a bus for the 60km (37-mile) journey to the garment factory where he worked as a junior quality inspector, checking sweaters bound for global high-street brands such as H&M and Next.

His family would not see him again.

Europeans push back at US over claim they face ‘civilizational erasure’

MUNICH (AP) — A top European Union official on Sunday rejected the notion that Europe faces “civilizational erasure,” pushing back at criticism of the continent by the Trump administration.

EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas addressed the Munich Security Conference a day after U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio offered a somewhat reassuring message to European allies. He struck a less aggressive tone than Vice President JD Vance did in lecturing them at the same gathering last year but maintained a firm tone on Washington’s intent to reshape the trans-Atlantic alliance and push its policy priorities.

Parliamentary Panel: Islamism Poses an Existential Threat to France

Islamism constitutes an existential threat to France, as the danger now lies within and includes a separatist dimension involving ideological militant coalitions with the far left and anticolonial movements, a bombshell report from lawmakers in France’s National Assembly warns.

Published on December 17, 2025, the 639-page dossier reveals that the French Muslim vote has gravitated heavily to the Left, with a notable preference for La France Insoumise (LFI), a far-left party accused of strategically collaborating with Islamism to gain control over France.
