  • Da’wa in Doha: Qatar’s 21st Century Muslim Brotherhood Strategy

    12/19/2025 8:29:55 AM PST · by Jan_Sobieski · 2 replies
    On November 24, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump issued an executive order designating Muslim Brotherhood chapters as Foreign Terrorist Organizations. Three weeks later, Qatar—considered the world hub for the Muslim Brotherhood—hosted two major international conferences. The 23rd Doha Forum drew 6,000 participants, including Bill Gates, Tucker Carlson, Donald Trump, Jr., Hillary Clinton, and Tom Barrack. One week later, the United Nations’ Eleventh Conference on Corruption (CoSP11) brought representatives worldwide to discuss transparency and ethical governance in Doha.[…]The paradox reveals the success of Doha’s da’wa—the Muslim Brotherhood’s nearly century-old methodology for power. Originally an Arabic term meaning “invitation” or “call,” referring...

The response from university officials and the Providence Mayor indicate Mr. Chas Calenda’s informed accusation and question is directly on target. WATCH: In addition to information we previously shared {GO DEEP} reflecting requests from various “civil rights” and “humanitarian” groups who demanded Brown University disable their surveillance system, additional information about the issue comes via the Rhode Island ACLU making the same demand in...

    Conservatives can’t save the country by funding their enemies—defunding the Department of Education would return billions to taxpayers, cut grift, and let education compete. Help your enemies and harm your friends. That’s the kind of big-brain, third-eye-opened, decalcified-pineal-gland (real eyes realize real lies) type of thinking that made the post-war conservative movement into the political juggernaut it is today. I mean, just check out the Conservative Inc. plan to save America: Step 1: Hand out pocket Constitutions. Step 2: Give liberals huge sums of tax money. Step 3: Denounce Trump for being mean. Step 4: Save the Country. Brilliant stuff,...

    WASHINGTON, D.C. — As Congress prepared to vote on legislation that would prevent gender transitioning treatment from being given to minors, Democrats blasted Republicans for trying to put hardworking genital mutilators out of business. Democrats accused their GOP colleagues of working to send dedicated surgeons and medical personnel who devote their work to lopping off parts of young people's bodies into poverty with little regard for the negative economic impact it could have on the genital mutilation industry. "Republicans don't care about these American workers," said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. "They don't stop to think about what this type...

    As we go about our daily lives, termites keep busy in the darkness, eating away at the foundations of our homes until they have been destroyed from within and are ready to collapse. Similar work is performed by teachers unions. The New York Post reports on the “neopronouns” and “xeopronouns” the National Education Association pushed at a recent indoctrination session entitled “Advancing LGBTQ+ Justice”: Neopronouns are “new” “pronouns” such as “xe/xem/xyr,” and other letters randomly shoved together. Xeopronouns are for “conceptual identities” such as “cat/cats/catself.” Because if a boy can identify as a girl, a girl can identify as a...

That isn’t likely the kind of information you want to get out there if you're a Pornhub Premium subscriber. It could ruin a few holidays.

    PROVIDENCE, RI — Leadership at Brown University, frustrated with the lack of progress in tracking the shooter who killed two students and injured many more on December 13, has reportedly recruited Police Chief Clancy Wiggum of Springfield to assist in the case. "Two deaths and nine injuries — sounds like the work of rowdy teens!" Wiggum said in a press conference as he laid out his progress on the case. "I talked with the FBI profiler, and she said it was some lone nut, but that's nuts." Chief Wiggum has been busy since arriving in Rhode Island just days ago....

    The Heritage Foundation ^ | 2020 | Hans Von Spakovsky
    The National Popular Vote (NPV) plan is the latest in a long line of schemes designed to replace the Electoral College. Imbued with the ideals of this nation’s Founders, the Electoral College has proved itself both effective in providing orderly elections for President and resilient in allowing a stable transfer of power of the leadership of the world’s greatest democracy. Therefore, while it would be a mistake to replace the Electoral College, replacing this system with the NPV would be a disaster. The NPV would devalue the minority interests that the Founders sought to protect, create electoral administrative problems, encourage...

    By my count, Linux has over 11% of the desktop market. Here's how I got that number - and why people are making the leap. The Linux desktop has continued its slow growth. Linux has been making gains in no small part because of Microsoft Windows' blunders. Users and governments have been losing trust in Windows and Microsoft. My colleague Jack Wallen and I have been telling you for a while now that you should switch from Windows to the Linux desktop. Sounds like some of you have been listening. The proof of the pudding comes from various sources. First,...

    Four teachers at a Wisconsin school have been accused of locking children in a pitch-black 'dungeon' as a cruel punishment tactic. A lawsuit launched by the furious parents of three children at Thurston Woods Public School in Milwaukee accuses the staff members of traumatizing their children. Filed on December 8, the legal document alleges that between 2022 and 2024 the teachers would routinely place young children in a boiler room to scare them. 'When asked about 'the dungeon' by their parents, some students would become so scared, stressed and upset that they would begin to cry,' the lawsuit reads. 'Students...

    According to Campus Reform, “In a bold move aligning with federal directives, the Regional School Unit 24 school board in Sullivan, Maine, voted to reaffirm a policy that limits bathroom access and athletic participation to students’ biological sex.” This demonstrates that utilizing the power of the federal government to ensure normalcy and basic rights is effective. “The decision, originally made in October, echoes President Trump’s executive order, “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports,” and places RSU 24 among a growing number of districts nationwide reinforcing sex-based distinctions in public education.” WABI is reporting that around 100 community members filled a...

Paul Paetzel, the principal at Edina High School in Minnesota, has warned that making reference to the work of ICE agents and President Trump’s policy of mass deportations goes against the “culture” that his school is trying to foster. He wrote in a letter parents: I want to speak directly and proactively about the culture we are committed to creating at Edina High School. As we continue to grow as a community, it is essential that we are clear about the...

    WASHINGTON, D.C. — An executive order banning immigration from several Muslim-majority countries compelled Democratic lawmakers to voice concerns that this may delay the global intifada. "It is the right of every American to endorse global intifada and murder Jews," Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said, in light of the executive order. "President Trump, in this authoritarian executive order, has proven himself anti-American by limiting the freedom of Americans and immigrants to engage in and call for Palestinian violence." According to sources, the global intifada is an international call for violence against Jews, Zionists, infidels, and the entire Western world. Trump...

    The prosecutor argued that the slogan “White lives matter” constitutes an insult to people with dark skin. Both suspects, identified as John A. and Daniel S. (25 and 35 years old at the time), lost their appeal and now face six months in prison, which Dutch mainstream media describes as a “light sentence”. They faced charges such as insulting a group, inciting discrimination, disseminating discriminatory messages and possessing discriminatory stickers.
