"The biggest challenge to democracy in Europe is the spread of deeply illiberal politics," details Freedom House's press release. This, as WorldViews has charted over the past year, has been very much on display in the response to an influx of refugees and migrants from Syria and other countries. Right-wing politicians, including Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, fanned populist flames by grandstanding over the threat of Muslim migration." “Claiming that Europe faces a Muslim invasion has become standard fare for a range of politicians and political parties in Europe,” Nate Schenkkan, project director of Nations in Transit, said in a...

to German Chancellor Angela Merkel's "loose border" policy, Germany has admitted more than one million illegal alien Muslim invaders. What has been the outcome? Germany has seen increases in crimes of sexual assault, women have been harassed on the streets, citizens travel in groups, and other crimes are on the rise. In fact, Germany has admitted so many Muslims that "Berlin's criminal underworld has been 'lost to Arab clans'," per German newspaper Die Welt as reported by Breitbart London. Die Welt published a report indicating how the invasion of Arabs (Muslims) "has transformed Berlin's entire criminal landscape, exposes how extended...

Almost 6,000 refugee children and minors were reported missing in Germany last year, according to its interior ministry, amid growing concerns that traffickers and criminals are preying on thousands of vulnerable young people travelling amid the flow of refugees into Europe. The exact scale of the crisis is unclear, because rudimentary and overwhelmed registration systems mean Europe does not have a clear picture of the number of children arriving on its shores, or close tracking of their onward route. Some of those who vanish may never have registered, paranoid that officials will lock them up. Others may have been reunited...

A Syrian refugee has admitted to setting fire to a German shelter where he was staying, spray-painting swastikas on the walls to make it look like a political crime. The asylum seeker said the arson attack was in response to poor conditions at the shelter. "During police questioning, the man admitted that he had set [a] fire in the cellar of the multi-use building," police spokesman Achim Hansen told NBC News, adding that the refugee had also stated that he “had a lack of hope for the future." The 26-year-old refugee sprayed three swastikas on the exterior in the building,...

Germany has seen a slump in the number of people arriving to seek asylum, weeks after several Balkan states tightened their borders, figures show. Some 20,000 people applied in March; last December it was 120,000.

The former head of Britain’s Equalities and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), Trevor Phillips, has admitted he “got almost everything wrong” regarding immigration in a new report, claiming Muslims are creating “nations within nations” in the West. Phillips says followers of Islam hold very different values from the rest of society and many want to lead separate lives. He says schools may have to consider a 50 per cent limit on Muslim, or other minority pupils, to encourage social integration. And he says disturbing survey findings point to a growing chasm between the attitudes of many British Muslims and their compatriots....

The problem is Islam, and nothing else The headline at Pamela Geller’s website reads: Grade School CHILDREN CHOKED WITH CHAINS, ATTACKED by Migrant Children, “Muslims rule the world,” Imitating the Slicing of the Throat. “Afraid of widows and orphans?” Barack Obama chided the Republicans over the “Syrian Refugee” issue. “Yes,” I replied. “They can wear bomb-belts, too.”

Macedonian police fired tear gas as migrants screamed “Allah hu Akbar” and tried to break through the border fence from Greece in a series of clashes that left over 200 people injured on Sunday. The illegals attempted to overwhelm police by charging in large numbers, tearing down the chain-link fence and throwing rocks and tear-gas bombs at Macedonian police. The incident happened at the Idomeni border crossing, which is fast becoming infamous as a flashpoint for violence as thousands of stranded migrants try to break through the border into Macedonia to continue their journey to northern Europe. Now the Greek...

Phillips commissioned “the Runnymede report” into Britain and Islamophobia in 1997 which, according to both Phillips himself and academics across the country, popularised the phrase which has now become synonymous with any criticism – legitimate or not – of Islam or Muslims. “For a long time, I too thought that Europe’s Muslims would become like previous waves of migrants, gradually abandoning their ancestral ways, wearing their religious and cultural baggage lightly, and gradually blending into Britain’s diverse identity landscape. I should have known better.” Phillips comments: “Some of my journalist friends imagine that, with time, the Muslims will grow out...

Phillips, a former elected member of the Labour Party who served as the Chairman of the EHRC from 2003-2012 will present “What British Muslims Really Think” on Channel 4 on Wednesday. An ICM poll released to the Times ahead of the broadcast reveals: One in five Muslims in Britain never enter a non-Muslim house; 39 per cent of Muslims, male and female, say a woman should always obey her husband; 31 per cent of British Muslims support the right of a man to have more than one wife; 52 per cent of Muslims did not believe that homosexuality should be...

The Cologne attacks were a series of mass sexual assaults on women by Muslim colonists and settlers operating in that city as well as other German and European cities on New Year's Eve. Now we're learning more about the initial coverup which dealt a severe blow to Merkel's open borders refugee policy. Police investigating the mass sexual assaults in Cologne on New Year's Eve claim they were ordered to remove the word "rape" from their initial report. Local officers had produced an internal "important event" memo entitled "rape, sexual harassment, thefts, committed by a large group of foreign people" -...

<p>A leftist Norwegian politician who was raped by a Somali refugee five years ago says he feels guilty that his rapist, after serving his time, will now be deported.</p> <p>Nordal Hauken, who describes himself as a 'young Socialist Left Party member, feminist and anti-racist', was attacked in his own home.</p>

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT RUSH: CNN has reported that the two men supported of doing the attack in the Brussels airport have been captured alive in Brussels. One of the men, Mohamed Abrini, is thought to be the guy in the white coat and the blue hat that we've seen in that tape from the day of the attack. One of these guys arrested had come to Europe via Greece -- the Ellis Island of Europe now -- and stayed in a refugee camp. Did you hear that? He stayed in a refugee camp, and we had this big ceremony yesterday where...

THIS is the sickening moment an angry migrant STEALS a baby from a woman and threatens to throw her at Greek police as tempers continue to flare along Europe's borders. The desperate man took the tiny baby off a young mother and began to shake her violently as he confronted Greek police. He then threatened to use the newborn child as a weapon as clashes between migrants and Greek border police turned violent.

On March 29, one week after the jihad massacres in Brussels, Geert Wilders, the leader of the Party for Freedom (Partij voor de Vrijheid, PVV) spoke in the Dutch Parliament about what had happened, and the danger that Islam poses to the Netherlands. He was immediately set upon by the usual ankle-biters of the Left (and the “Center Right”, i.e. the VVD) who denounced him for “dividing” the country. In the video below, pay close attention to the back-and-forth between Mr. Wilders and his detractors — you’ll notice a subtle shift in the center of gravity of the debate. Some...

Last week, I did a story about a gang of Muslim teenagers that severely beat up a nine-year-old German boy for fun. When the boy’s father confronted the Muslim teen’s parents and called the police, not only did the police do nothing, but the next day, the German government sent federal police to the German family’s house, beat up the father, and he is now awaiting trial for “intimidating refugees.” In the meantime, the police have denied that the boy was actually beaten up and are saying it was a fake. This trend in Merkel’s Germany, where non-Muslims are prosecuted...

Six people suffered from smoke inhalation injuries early on Thursday morning after unknown attackers set fire to a hotel in Bingen, Rhineland-Palatinate. The fire broke out in the hotel on the town’s main street at around 3:15am, police reported. 25 people, including 16 refugees, were staying there that night, the hotel’s owner told broadcaster SWR. Four people staying in the hotel and two firefighters were hurt by smoke inhalation. Two of the residents had to be treated in hospital. Police say there may have been a racist motive to the attack on the hotel, which currently houses a number of...

The estimated 2,800 mosques in the United States are "ticking time bombs" for Islamic terrorism, according to experts. All U.S. states have at least one mosque each with California and New York topping the list with more than 500 mosques followed by Texas with more than 300 ... According to Dr. Mark Christian, president and founder of the Global Faith Institute, about 80 percent of the 2,800 U.S. mosques are under the supervision of the Muslim Brotherhood, whose goal is to make nations comply with Shariah law. "You have a new mosque opening every week in America," said Christian, a...

AMMAN, Jordan — The first Syrian family to be resettled in the U.S. under a speeded-up "surge operation" for refugees left Jordan on Wednesday for Kansas City, Missouri, to start a new life. Ahmad al-Abboud, who is being resettled with his wife and five children, said he is thankful to Jordan, where he has lived for three years after fleeing Syria's civil war. But the 45-year-old from Homs, Syria, said he was ready to build a better life in the U.S.
