Scrutiny Rising Over Council on American-Islamic Relations’ Ties to Terrorism — and Turkey’s Governmen

The Council on American-Islamic Relations is taking a beating this holiday season. Just before Thanksgiving, Texas designated the civil rights organization, known colloquially as “CAIR,” as a foreign terrorist organization. Florida followed suit on December 8.

The day that Governor Ron DeSantis designated CAIR, news broke that the organization’s political advocacy arm, CAIR Action, has been operating in America “without the licenses, registrations, or legal authority required in any of the 22 states where it raises money or conducts political activity.” Nor does CAIR Action possess the documentation required to “legally operate or solicit funds” at Washington, D.C., where it’s incorporated.

Pressure mounts on Rep Ilhan Omar as Ted Cruz warns she faces jail and deportation if ‘incest’ marriage is true

Ilhan Omar married her brother Elmi

Senator Ted Cruz has weighed in on Representative Ilhan Omar and issued her with a warning after allegations have swirled that the progressive congresswoman married her brother so he could become an American citizen.

Cruz shared an article on X, accusing Omar of the reported sham marriage, writing: ‘If this is true, then Omar faces criminal liability under three different statutes.’

The Republican senator then cited three US laws, including Federal Marriage Fraud, State Incest Laws, and Tax Fraud.

Two US soldiers and interpreter killed by IS gunman in Syria, US military says

‘It’s a breach of trust’: fear and frustration as countries’ push to send Syrians back where they came from

Syrians – no desire to assimilate

Tears of joy streamed down Abdulhkeem Alshater’s face as he joined thousands of other Syrian nationals in central Vienna last year. The moment they were marking felt like a miracle: after more than five decades of brutality and repression, the Assad regime had fallen.

A day later, however, the ripple effects of what had happened 2,000 miles away in Syria were laid bare. A dozen European states announced plans to suspend asylum applications from Syrians, in a show of how western states are increasingly treating refugees as transients. As the fall of Bashar al-Assad collided with politicians’ quest to be seen as taking a hard line on migration, the lives of Syrians around the globe were plunged into uncertainty.

In Austria, where Alshater had spent the past decade painstakingly rebuilding his life – learning German, upgrading his professional certifications and raising his family – the government said it had ordered a review of cases where asylum had been granted to Syrians and that a programme of “orderly repatriation and deportation” was being prepared.

Child bride spared execution in Iran after blood money is paid

A child bride who was due to be executed this month in Iran over the death of her husband has had her life spared by his parents, who were paid the equivalent of £70,000 in exchange for their forgiveness.

Goli Kouhkan, 25, has been on death row in Gorgan central prison in northern Iran for the past seven years. At the age of 18 she was arrested over allegedly participating in the killing of her abusive husband, Alireza Abil, in May 2018, and sentenced to qisas – retribution-in-kind.

SLOBODIAN: No coffee for you — Ottawa’s DEI Ramadan rules crossed the line

So, thousands of Shared Services Canada (SSC) employees had to forgo coffee breaks and lunches during the month-long Ramadan 2025 to spare a few fasting Muslim coworkers from feeling uncomfortable.

Managers were instructed to schedule key meetings and chats around times when fasting “energy levels were low.” Work wasn’t to interfere with their pre-dawn and post-sunset Suhoor and Iftar meals.

Everything is fine in Europe: the Caliph’s family lives near Charles III

Trump may have abandoned Europe, but Europe abandoned itself first.

“The leader of the Islamic State in Somalia has a wife and three children in Britain,” reveals the Daily Telegraph. Abdul Qadir Mumin lived for a long time in the United Kingdom, where he obtained British citizenship and delivered sermons in London mosques. During that period, Mumin married the British Somali Muna Abdule and had one son and two daughters, who still live in Slough.

Does Slough ring a bell?

Slough is a town eight minutes by car from the royal family’s Windsor Castle and from Eton, the school of the English elite, and has a 30 percent Muslim population.

Afghan Rapists’ Own Defence Lawyer Calls Evidence Horrific, Predicts Disorder

Rape for Allah

The conviction of two Afghan ‘small boat’ asylum seekers for orally raping a teenage girl was bad enough—but those close to the case fear matters could get much worse.

Unusually given their purported age, Judge Sylvia De Bertodano lifted reporting restrictions and allowed the naming of Jan Jahanzeb and Israr Niazal—who both claim to be about 17, but threw away their documents before arriving on UK shores illegally—in the public interest.

In Minnesota, Echoes of Failed Somali Experiment in Europe

There are scandals that explode with theatrical outrage, and there are scandals that settle over a nation like a quiet, damning verdict. Minnesota’s autism-therapy fraud belongs firmly in the latter category. On November 22, 2025, The Washington Post noted — with the weary delicacy that now accompanies every public-sector failure — that welfare fraud in Minnesota had become “far too common,” highlighting federal charges against eight men, six of them Somali, accused of exploiting the state’s Housing Stabilization Services program under Medicaid and helping force the program’s shutdown.

The Somali Grift Isn’t Just for Minnesota Anymore

I tell you what – Democrats and Somalis are going to rue the day the Senate Dems forced the government into that extended shutdown. That was the tipping point, and just the extra bit of time needed to bring this extraordinary, biblical amount of waste, fraud, and abuse into the public sphere, where it had been floating at the edges for decades.

Everyone has been watching the Minnesota Somali scandals get deeper, more sordid, and, oh, dear God – more expensive than we ever thought possible.

Met Police’s ‘two-tier’ policing laid bare: How UKIP protesters had ‘stringent’ conditions imposed to protect Muslim community… but pro-Palestine protesters marched day after Manchester synagogue attack

The banning of a UKIP protest in a Muslim community while pro-Palestine marches were allowed to take place in the wake of the Manchester synagogue attack has laid bare allegations of two-tiered policing by the Met.

A damning report by the think tank Policy Exchange today claimed that the widely held perception the force treats protest groups differently was in fact a ‘reality’.

In one example cited, the force applied for ‘very stringent conditions’ on a UKIP march in Tower Hamlets on the grounds it had caused ‘significant concern’ among the Muslim community.
