A scholar of Islam has warned of civil war across Europe as more young Muslims facing poor job prospects turn to radical groups, it has been reported. Professor Gilles Kepel, from the Sciences Po in Paris, France, said a growing 'Jihad Generation' is likely to continue to carry out terror acts in European cities. The aim of their terror activity is to both incite hatred towards Muslims and, in doing so, cause further radicalisation among young people, the professor of political science said.

Chancellor Merkel’s refugee policies have divided the country and the right-wing populist AfD party is rapidly gaining support. Conservatives are calling on Merkel to change course, but she is refusing to admit fallibility. Could this be the end? […] The late phases of a chancellor’s term tend to be tortuous. Konrad Adenauer didn’t want to go because he thought he was the only one capable of leading the country, only stepping aside for Ludwig Erhard after 14 long years in office. Helmut Kohl resisted retirement because he thought only he could push through the common currency in Europe. He was,...

… Interior Minister of Germany Thomas de Maizière told the Bild newspaper in an interview that German security services know 520 potential terrorists and another 360 people who are designated as “known to the police” due to their ties with terrorists and similar dangerous extremist elements. …

The following video from France shows an argument between the mayor of Boussy-St.-Antoine and one of his constituents. Boussy-St.-Antoine is where three women associated with the plot to bomb Notre Dame Cathedral were arrested the other day. The old man is obviously disturbed at present trends in Modern Multicultural France. The mayor’s response, however, is condescending and dismissive. Many thanks to Ava Lon for the translation, and to Vlad Tepes for the subtitling:

We’re starting to sound like a broken record, aren’t we? Those of us who have been warning about the dangers of unchecked, unvetted Muslim migration to the West are getting tired of having to say “We told you so.” Sadly, it seems that none of our leaders in the West have been listening to us, because they continue to allow the unfettered flow of Muslim migration into our homelands. Recently, the Obama administration celebrated hitting their goal of 10,000 new Muslim refugees accepted (they accomplished the feat ahead of schedule – the first time in the Obama era the government...

There are now 361 children under the age of 14 living in Germany, interior ministry figures show. Most of these children are from countries in the Middle East and eastern Europe. The influx of refugees in 2015 has led to an increase in the number of child marriages, according to the figures. The data collected up to the date of July 31st 2016 shows that 1,475 minors were registered in the government migration office as married, Der Westen (WAZ) reports. […] The largest number of married minors come from Syria, at 664, with 157 coming from Afghanistan, 100 coming from...

Already in 2016, more people have drowned in German waters than in the whole of 2015, with the German Lifeguard Service (DLRG) saying refugees are significantly over-represented in the figures. In the first eight months of 2016, 425 people drowned, either at sea, in lakes or in swimming pools. This figure was an increase of 46 deaths on the whole of last year. Particularly striking is the fact that 56 of the dead in this year’s figures were refugees — more than 13 percent of the total. Some local communities have started offering swimming courses for refugees, recognizing that many...

Destroying America city by city. Millard Fillmore was born in a log cabin in upstate New York. Fifty years later, he took office as the thirteenth president of the United States. Around that time he sold off a piece of land. That land became the neighborhood of Lovejoy in the city of Buffalo. Lovejoy was named after Sarah Lovejoy who had been killed defending her home during the War of 1812. British forces had assaulted American towns once again by using their Indian allies as a terror weapon. Buffalo, now a major city, was burned to the ground with only...

Here we go again, and it’s no surprise that German Chancellor Angela Merkel is nowhere to be found. In what many news outlets are calling a “copycat” sexual assault attack on German women, police are investigating many reports of sexual assaults by migrants. The most recent attacks bear an eerie resemblance to the sexual assaults carried out by multiple migrants during last year's New Year’s Eve in Cologne, Germany. The most recent incidents of rape and sexual assault at the hands of migrants came during last weekend’s “Essen Original” festival in the town of Essen. The typically family-friendly festival has...

Muslim-American groups are applauding President Barack Obama's nomination of a Washington lawyer to serve in U.S. District Court — a move that could make him the first ever Muslim-American federal judge, according to advocates. If confirmed, Abid Riaz Qureshi would sit on the District of Columbia's federal bench, the White House announced Tuesday. Qureshi, who graduated Harvard Law School in 1997, is a partner in the D.C. office of Latham & Watkins LLP, specializing in healthcare fraud, securities violations, and cases involving the False Claims Act, according to a White House statement. "I am confident he will serve the American...

Germany is preparing to train troops to be deployed within its borders for the first time since World War II amid fears of terrorist attacks. The country’s armed forces will hold joint drills with police early next year, officials confirmed. […] Plans to involve soldiers in counterterrorism operations — and the suggestion troops could also be used to beef up security in public places — have proved controversial in a country only seven decades removed from totalitarian rule that’s still grappling with guilt from the Nazi era. A 2012 constitutional court ruling paved the way for the deployment of the...

Not only are Americans listening to Donald Trump's plans for a border wall, but so are other nations.  The United Kingdom is moving forward with plans to build a 1 kilometer wall protecting an underwater entry point from France to Britain, according to reports on Wednesday.Officials said their goal is to stop migrants from using a tunnel in Calais, France from crossing the English Channel.  “We are going to start building this big new wall very soon. We’ve done the fence; now we are doing a wall,” UK Home Office minister Robert Goodwill said.Most of the port is already fenced off from a...

Just two months after voting to leave the European Union (EU), the UK has announced the construction of a “great wall” near its most porous border in Calais, to keep illegal migrants out. The UK’s southern border checks are conducted in northern France and attempted illegal crossing have more than quadrupled in recent years. UK Border Force guards on French soil stopped 84,088 illegal immigrants last year, figures released last month show. The new 13-foot (4 metre) high wall will be built of smooth concrete, making it hard to climb, and will line the roads into the port town of...

A sociologist from the Karlsruhe University of Education is giving a presentation on Wednesday about why both immigrants and Germans alike should take integration classes. “The motto must be: integration classes for all,” said professor Annette Treibel ahead of her presentation at a conference in Rostock called “Integration — How does it work? Education, work and culture”. The day-long series of lectures and discussions is focused on how the country should address the social implications of hundreds of thousands of refugees who have come to Germany. Treibel will be giving a talk about how integration is for both “old and...

Chancellor Angela Merkel defended her refugee policy on Wednesday, saying that the situation had improved drastically — for Germans as well as refugees. “We have just been through a year that demanded a lot from us, but the situation now is so much better than it was a year ago,” the Chancellor told the Bundestag in a discussion which was actually on the federal budget. Merkel mentioned reinforcement of the Frontex EU border defense agency, a new NATO mission in the Mediterranean and a refugee deal signed with Turkey in March as evidence of progress in coping with an influx...

At the Softex refugee camp in northern Greece, it is lighter by night than it is by day. Inside this windowless former warehouse, the lamps only work in the evenings. It is part of what was a toilet paper factory. “It’s insulting,” says Hendiya Asseni, a 62-year-old Syrian, of being housed in a one-time loo-roll store. “But then everything here is insulting – the life, the food, the fact we have a toilet in front of our tent.” ...“How symbolic is it that of all the empty buildings, of all the places for a refugee camp, one of the biggest...

ISIS supporters have gloated about sleeper cells nestled in Europe which are poised to carry out horror attacks on innocent civilians.And most frighteningly of all - terror experts have backed up the chilling claims. During the migrant crisis it was feared jihadists could sneak through the European Union’s porous borders as thousands arrived into the continent daily from war-torn nations. This included in July, Mohammad Daleel, a 27-year-old failed asylum seeker, who blew himself up outside a party in Ansbach, Germany. ISIS later said he was a "soldier of the Caliphate".

Arson suspected after a building set to house 90 migrants caught fire this morning, the same day that Paris revealed plans for its first official migrant camps. The fire ignited at the migrant accommodation in Forges-les-Bains, southwest of Paris, in the early hours of Tuesday morning, reported to BFM TV. […] The building, which was set to house 90 migrants when it opens in October, had proved to be highly contentious in the local community. The night before it was burned, authorities had held a meeting about the center while around 100 locals protested outside. …

One of Germany’s best-known Islamist preachers went on trial in the western city of Düsseldorf on Tuesday on charges of backing “a terrorist group” fighting in Syria. Sven Lau, 35, stands accused of supporting and recruiting fighters for the Syria-based Jaish al-Muhajireen wal-Ansar (JMA), or Army of Emigrants and Supporters, which Germany lists as a terrorist organization. A convert to the ultra-conservative Salafist branch of Islam, Lau gained notoriety in 2014 when he organized a vigilante “Sharia Police” group that patrolled German streets seeking to enforce Islamic law. …

Ci sono stati anche casi recenti finiti per la maggior parte nelle cronache locali e, talvolta, anche in quelle nazionali. Islamici che entrano nelle chiese, urlano, imprecano, spaccano gli oggetti sacri. Ma l'allarme non riguarda solo l'Italia. Come riporta un articolo del "Venerdì" di Repubblica, nel mirino ci sono anche Spagna, Francia, Belgio e Germania. Un dato allarmante arriva proprio da uno dei land tedeschi, la Renania settentrionale-Vestfalia. Dove negli ultimi tre anni si sono registrate 3.504 incursioni profanatorie. Che consistono in atti tipo sputare sulle immagini sacre, defecare sugli altari, urinare nelle acquasantiere, profanare l'eucarestia, insultare i fedeli,...
