President Biden made a happy occasion awkward Monday night after telling a White House guest to “hush up, boy” during an event marking the Islamic holiday Eid al-Fitr. During the lively reception commemorating the end of Ramadan, Biden teased the audience with what he promised would be the “quickest speech I ever made in my life” ahead of scheduled 6 p.m. prayers. But when an unidentified audience member continued to talk over him, the president’s mood turned. “You want to come and make a speech?” the 80-year-old Biden asked the guest. “‘Hush up, boy,’ as my mother would say.”

Incitement videos encouraging and instructing how to carry out terrorist attacks in different ways are being distributed on Palestinian Telegram channels against the background of the month of Ramadan, also known as the month of Jihad.

In recent days, Biden administration officials have repeatedly warned Israel to “de-escalate” its actions against Palestinian Arab terrorists because Ramadan has begun. According to U.S. officials, Israel should stop pursuing terrorists into Palestinian Authority territory in the weeks ahead, because Israelis should not be killing Muslims during this month-long Muslim religious holiday. But how did the Biden administration mark the start of Ramadan this past week? By killing Muslims. Last Thursday—the first full day of Ramadan—a strike by an Iranian drone in northeast Syria killed an American contractor and wounded six other Americans. In view of the administration’s concern about...

It could also further fray ties with the United States, where Gallant has been steering coordination on defense cooperation with his U.S. counterpart, Lloyd Austin...In a surprise...

Thanks to Medforth. Note that one of those who posted photographs observes that previously, London was only decorated in this way for Christmas. How long before the Christmas decorations come down, and only these are permitted? Meanwhile, this is what London is celebrating: “Ramadan is not a month of laziness but rather a month of activity, of effort, and of hard work, and as it also was in the life of the Prophet, a month of jihad, conquest, and victory.” — Palestinian Authority Supreme Sharia Judge Mahmoud Al-Habbash

Researchers have found more evidence that dry fasting (fasting without food or liquid intake) from dawn to dusk for four weeks has an anti-atherosclerotic, anti-inflammatory and anti-tumorigenic effect on the proteins in a type of immune cell called a peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC). "We know that disruptions of the circadian rhythm are associated with cancer and metabolic syndrome. This type of fasting can potentially act as a reset to normal for the circadian rhythm," said Dr. Ayse Leyla Mindikoglu. "After fasting, our participants lost weight, and their blood pressure and insulin resistance improved." The researchers previously found similar results...

Who then appear in videos wrapped in hijabs, saying they “willingly” embraced Islam and don't want to be searched for.

Her parents immediately carried out an extensive investigation, including by questioning her friends, until they determined that the brother of one of her Muslim schoolmates was behind her disappearance. The parents provided police with...
