    A top Iranian cleric says the anger in the UK toward Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu shows the Tel Aviv regime has turned into a global object of hatred across the world. “The campaign of hatred for the Zionist regime, which began in Iran, has spread across the world,” said Ayatollah Mohammad Ali Movahedi Kermani in an address to worshippers at weekly Friday Prayers in the Iranian capital, Tehran. Netanyahu traveled to the UK on Wednesday for a two-day visit to discuss hosts of issues including the crisis in Syria and the July 14 nuclear agreement reached between Iran and...

    With pictures of sad faces and the images of a young boy's body washing up on shore, we are told the terror of the plight of Muslim immigrants seeking to escape ISIS. If we listen to these narratives, we would think that these people simply want a chance at a better life. They are so desperate to escape the violence and fascism of ISIS that they will chance even their lives and the lives of their families to try and get to Europe. But this narrative is being strained as violence erupts on the Greek Island of Lesbos. Breitbart reports:...

    Hijrah. Learn the word. Understand it and never forget it. Because Hijrah accurately describes the trojan horse scenario unfolding in Europe. In the year 622 the Islamic prophet Muhammad set out on the first Hijrah. What is a Hijrah? In short, it’s the act if migrating to other parts of the world with the intention of spreading the grip of Islam.

    Europe's handling of its refugee crisis has led to much criticism and left even more to be desired, but until now Europe's general population was largely on the side of the misplaced migrants who are trying to reestablish their lives away from the daily horrors of the middle east, all in the name of a Qatari gas pipeline. Just today, the Globe and Mail reported that French public opinion has swung dramatically to majority support for an intake of more migrants from war zones like Syria, a new poll showed as the country welcomed further busloads of asylum seekers...

    Hungarian Camerawoman Fired for Kicking, Tripping Migrants N1TV said employee dismissed because she ‘behaved unacceptably’ Associated Press Sept. 9, 2015 7:41 a.m. ET 1 COMMENTS BUDAPEST—A Hungarian camerawoman has been fired after she was caught on video kicking and tripping migrants entering Hungary across the border with Serbia. The N1TV Internet channel said their employee, widely identified in Hungarian media as Petra Laszlo, has been dismissed because she “behaved unacceptably” at a makeshift gathering point where police take migrants immediately after they enter Hungary near the village of Roszke. In videos posted online, Laszlo can be seen kicking at least...

    The Obama administration is “actively considering” ways to help relieve the European migrant crisis, and among the options on the table is a massive resettlement of “refugees” inside the United States. Peter Boogaard, a spokesman for the National Security Council, told the Associate Press the United States is in contact with countries in the Middle East and Europe grappling with the migration of nearly 400,000 Middle Eastern and African migrants into Europe. Boogaard did not elaborate on specific measures being considered, but said they included “refugee resettlement.” “Many are fleeing the civil war in Syria and areas in Iraq under...
  • Greek Island Turns Into War Zone as Syrian and Afghan Migrants Clash

    The Greek island of Lesbos has been turned into a war zone by rioting migrants, leaving the island’s 85,000 residents in despair. Around 25,000 migrants are currently camped out on the island with hundreds more arriving daily, leading to frequent violent clashes and rioting despite their claim to be fleeing violence. Located just 6 miles from the Turkish shore, the migrants come over in inflatable boats which they cut up on arrival to prevent being turned back, expecting to be able to quickly travel on by ferry to mainland Europe, German station RTL has reported. Instead, they are being held...

    It was supposed to be the first step on their journey to Western Europe. But now thousands of migrants are mired in despair, anger and frustration on the scenic Greek island of Lesbos. After perilous sea voyages from neighbouring Turkey, they have been stranded here for days, some for nearly two weeks, running out of money and desperate to get to mainland Greece and continue their route. The island of some 100,000 residents has been transformed by the sudden new population of some 20,000 refugees, mostly from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan – and the strain is pushing everyone to the...

    As thousands of refugees pour into Europe, Pope Francis has called on every parish and religious community to take in one family each. He said the Vatican state would set the example, with its two parishes each taking in a family of refugees in the coming days. There are more than 25,000 parishes in Italy alone, and some 12,000 in Germany, where many refugees fleeing war and hardship in the Middle East hope to end up. “Faced with the tragedy of tens of thousands of refugees, the Gospel calls us and asks us to show solidarity to the most vulnerable...

    “I have seen refugee columns before, and they tend to be made up disproportionately of women and children. But more than 80 per cent of the people disembarking here were young men – the classic indicator of economic migration,” he noted. A video shot by Hungarian police at a train station this week shows migrants, predominantly young, predominantly male, all well dressed and well fed, snatching food and water offered by police only to throw it onto the tracks and wave the officers away. Meanwhile back in Syria, the Melkite Greek Catholic Patriarch Gregorios III, one of Syria’s most senior...

    Well, it was only a matter of time before this happened. I mean, ISIS is already claiming thousands of ISIS fighters are sneaking into Europe as part of the refugee crisis. So a hint of an ISIS friendly fighter crossing a border was inevitable.As you can see in the image it’s very difficult to dispute what appears before your eyes. It’s the same guy, but whether or not the guy was at one point personally allied with ISIS is somewhat open for dispute. That said, the unit he commanded was almost certainly fighting with ISIS forces. His name is Laith Al Saleh....

    The United States has asked Greece to deny Russia the use of its airspace for supply flights to Syria, a Greek official said on Monday, after Washington told Moscow it was deeply concerned by reports of a Russian military build up in Syria. The Greek foreign ministry said the request was being examined. Russian newswire RIA Novosti earlier said Greece had refused the U.S. request, quoting a diplomatic source as saying that Russia was seeking permission to run the flights up to Sept. 24. Russia, which has a naval base in the Syrian port of Tartous, has sent regular flights...
