For the past several weeks it seemed as if Germany had truly become the promised land for Mideast asylum seekers, primarily those seeking to escape the Syrian civil (and global proxy) war, but according to various media reports, also a material number of "ISIS-linked terrorists." Then it all came crashing down earlier today when Germany's beloved by all refugees "Mutti" said genug, and with one decision shut down the border with Austria in the process unraveling decades of customs-union progress (following promptly by the Czech Republic doing the same, with Italy expected to follow suit in the hours ahead). Ironically,...

On this September 11, 2015 our Senate has joined our enemies in making our enemies in Iran the most powerful terrorists on earth. Fourteen years ago, on September 11, 2001 we sustained the most devastating terrorist’s attacks in our history. We were caught completely by surprise and to the delight of our Muslim enemies, thousands of innocent American men women and children were murdered. They enjoyed every minute of it. In our national bewilderment some people thought the seventh century savages attacked us because the numeric value of September 11, is 9 -1-1 the national number to call our police....

An Egyptian billionaire has offered to buy an island from Greece or Italy and develop it to help hundreds of thousands of people fleeing from Syria and other conflicts. Announcing the initiative on Twitter, telecoms tycoon Naguib Sawiris said: 'Greece or Italy sell me an island, I'll call its independence and host the migrants and provide jobs for them building their new country'. More than 2,300 people have died at sea trying to reach Europe since January, many of them Syrians who fled their country's four-and-a-half year conflict. His comments also come just days after heartbreaking images emerged of three-year-old...

...snip... However, it is important to understand why Russia chose this moment to move, when it could have done so at any time. ...snip... With Mr. al-Assad now controlling only 17 per cent of the country, and fighting on an axis running from Damascus, Homs, Aleppo and Latakia (oddly enough the centres of Alawite and Christian populations), the fear is that without any discernible moderate opposition the groups best positioned to take advantage of an Assad collapse are IS – the best organized – and any number of splinter Islamist groups such as the al-Nusra Front. IS was not spawned...

Obama has ordered that America take in 70,000 Islamic refugees. Just today press secretary Josh Earnest said that the United States would “accept at least 10,000 refugees in the next fiscal year,” which begins October 1st. But the whole number that has been authorized is 70,000. But John Kerry, in a closed-door meeting said that the number could be raised even higher, to 100,000. According to one report: Earlier, Secretary of State John Kerry, said at a closed-door meeting on Capitol Hill that that the total number of refugees taken in by the United States could rise to more than...

In an announcement made Thursday afternoon, the White House confirmed plans to bring 10,000 Syrian refugees to the United States. There is no word yet on what the vetting process will be for refugees or how the White House plans to assure Americans the process will prevent ISIS terrorists from making their way into the United States. "The United States, at the direction of the United States, has played a leading role in addressing the dire humanitarian crisis in the Middle East and North Africa," White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said Thursday during the daily briefing. "One thing that...

Saudi Arabia, which so far has refused to accept a single refuge from Syria (or Libya, or… well, you get the picture) has an offer on the table to build 200 mosques in Germany.  Daniel Greenfield notes the multiple infuriating ironies at Front Page Magazine: Saudi Arabia, which doesn't permit the construction of churches but finances a mosque construction spree in the land of the infidel, will not be taking in Syrian refugees. Even though they are fellow Muslims. It will however offer to build 200 mosques in Germany for their use. (snip) Saudi mosques have played a key...

Barack Obama and John Kerry want Congress and the American public to support the Iran deal because it supposedly ties up the mullahcracy for 15 years in regards to nuclear weapons. Both Kerry and Obama have insisted that this deal will be in Israel’s best interests, and that it will allow for greater engagement with the world’s most prominent state sponsor of terror. Iran’s Supreme Leader made it clear he’s working on another timetable altogether, and certainly on a much different agenda. Earlier today, Ali Khameini declared that Israel will cease to exist in less than 25 years, and...

Adorable, cuddly Syrian refugees to a good home. Attention liberal millionaires. Do you want your very own gang of Syrian Refugees (TM) to loiter around your home, throw things at you and beat you up? Here are a whole bunch for you to take home. Yes, I'm looking at you, J.K. Rowling. Or Isaac Herzog. There's so many that every passionately outraged leftist bigwig can have his own bunch. You just better be ready to cook for them and bring them everything while they throw it in your face. You'll notice the shortage of actual women and kids. The...

More than four million Syrians have been forced to escape the never-ending civil war ravaging their country and the barbaric terror group carving a bloody trail across the Middle East. The vast majority live in overcrowded refugee camps in Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt and Iraq - all under threat from ISIS - and record numbers are making the perilously long journey to Europe. Yet, as debate rages between politicians in Europe over how many they should take, nearby super-wealthy Gulf nations of Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates (UAE), Qatar, Kuwait and Bahrain have refused to offer sanctuary to a single...

On Sunday, the migrants — many with children and babies — orderly boarded trains and buses that took them to the border with Serbia before heading farther north toward EU-member Hungary, which is building a razor wire fence on its frontier to prevent them from entering. If they manage to enter Hungary, the migrants could travel freely across the borders of most of the 28 EU-member states. The more than 5,000 migrants who reached Serbia overnight faced an overcrowded refugee centre where they have to apply for asylum — the paper that allows them three days to reach Hungary. State...

A shocking video has surfaced on social media showing a toddler beheading his teddy bear and displaying ISIS-like antics in the process. The boy gleefully enters a room while brandishing a knife that is approximately the size of his arm. He then runs over to his teddy bear, which is sitting next to a wall draped with Islamic State flags, and proceeds to behead the stuffed animal, seemingly copying the method of now-infamous ISIS terrorist Jihadi John.

Islamic State militants beheaded a renowned antiquities scholar in the ancient Syrian city of Palmyra and hung his mutilated body on a column in a main square of the historic site because he apparently refused to reveal where valuable artefacts had been moved for safekeeping. The brutal murder of Khaled al-Asaad, 82, is the latest atrocity perpetrated by the jihadi group, which has captured a third of Syria and neighbouring Iraq and declared a “caliphate” on the territory it controls. It has also highlighted Isis’s habit of looting and selling antiquities to fund its activities – as well as destroying...

How do the British think this is going to work out in ten years? Twenty? British authorities are not concerned about this, because they assume that Islam is a religion of peace and all will be well. But this will mean the fundamental transformation of British society — and probably the Islamization of Britain will not be gentle or peaceful. “Afghan and Somali women in Britain have FOUR times as many kids as UK born mums,” by David Pilditch, Express, August 17, 2015:The UK is now home to more families containing four or more children than at any time since...

The digitization project aims to perserve priceless books and manuscripts from future threats; Baghdad National Library officials say that sharing Iraqi art and literature is key to combatting terrorism. The dimly lit, dust-caked stacks of the Baghdad National Library hide a treasure of the ages: crinkled, yellowing papers holding the true stories of sultans and kings; imperialists and socialists; occupation and liberation; war and peace. •Follow Ynetnews on Facebook and Twitter These are the original chronicles of Iraq's rich and tumultuous history, and now librarians and academics in Baghdad are working feverishly to preserve what's left after thousands of documents...

Kurdish official Said Mimousini said 19 women have been executed by ISIS after they refused to have sex with fighters. Following the brutal beheading of two women for allegations of witchcraft and sorcery, ISIS recently executed 19 women due to their refusal to participate in sexual acts with the group's fighters. Kurdish official Said Mimousini said the women were being held hostage in Mosul, Iraq, which is a stronghold of the terrorist group after its capture in June 2014. The women were executed a few days ago after they refused to engage in "sexual jihad," according to the Mirror. A United...

The massacre took place last Monday, but the news was released only yesterday because the area of ​​Lake Chad is devoid of any type of telephone; survivors had to reach Maiduguri, the capital of Borno state, to raise the alarm.

(The link is to a map supposedly showing the spread of world religions through time. Conveniently, It fails to show that Palestine, North Africa or the Middle East was Christianized prior to Mohammed, or, in fact, ever. This is the BS the machine is spreading as fact.) Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, Judaism, and Islam are five of the biggest religions in the world. Over the last few thousand years, these religious groups have shaped the course of history and had a profound influence on the trajectory of the human race.
