YORK, United Kingdom — Terrorism can be a very sensitive subject. A study finds even talking about this violent topic can bring out the worst in social media users. Researchers say users of Community Question Answering sites (CQAs) use more hate speech when searching for information about terrorism or terrorist attacks.CQAs are social media websites that allow users to post questions to other users, answer questions, and evaluate responses. Previous research has examined terrorism-related data from Facebook and Twitter, but this study by a team at the University of York was the first of its kind to examine trends on...

Dwight Eisenhower, the 34th U.S. president and a decorated war general, once said: "Peace and justice are two sides of the same coin." If Europe wants to preserve peace, it should find it paramount to deliver justice against an Iranian diplomat soon to be prosecuted on terrorism charges. Moreover, from a political perspective, European nations need to send a powerful message to Tehran's terrorists that the age of terror campaigns is over. Tehran's 2018 bomb plot was the stuff of detective novels, yet there was nothing fictional about it. It could have led to an astounding level of carnage.In June...

JERICHO, West Bank - Chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat was taken by ambulance to a hospital in Israel on Sunday for treatment of a worsening case of COVID-19, the Palestine Liberation Organization said. Witnesses said Erekat, 65, was on a stretcher when he was placed inside an Israeli ambulance outside his home in Jericho, in the occupied West Bank. Erekat, who is also secretary-general of the PLO, disclosed on Oct. 8 that he had contracted coronavirus. There is heightened concern over Erekat’s vulnerability to the illness because he underwent a lung transplant in the United States in 2017. “Following his...

Weld County Sheriff's Office looking into undercover video footage.. For someone identified as a dedicated Colorado Democrat Party activist, Kristopher Jacks has some decidedly undemocratic ideas. Mr. Jacks was caught on hidden-camera video by Project Veritas talking about using violence for political ends, pressuring a Biden administration to do the left’s bidding by occupying the White House, and musing about a hypothetical situation involving killing “three or four” billionaires, including Amazon founder Jeff Bezos. “2020 is a political revolution. I am going to do everything morally acceptable to win,” Mr. Jacks said in footage taken at a bar. “I will...

As someone who has spent nearly a lifetime studying the rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazis, making the comparison between the Brown Shirts who terrorized German civilians into submission and anarchist groups like ANTIFA and Black Lives Matter is a painlessly easy conclusion to come to. Look at the BLM soldier in the main photo, he has a helmet, a uniform, a weapon and a flag he’s marching under. He and his fellow BLM soldiers are the very definition of what Hitler’s Brown Shirts were all about. The city of Portland has become the epicenter of far Left anarchist...

On the last Sunday in May, Jeremy Lee Quinn, a furloughed photographer in Santa Monica, Calif., was snapping photos of suburban moms kneeling at a Black Lives Matter protest when a friend alerted him to a more dramatic subject: looting at a shoe store about a mile away. He arrived to find young people pouring out of the store, shoeboxes under their arms. But there was something odd about the scene. A group of men, dressed entirely in black, milled around nearby, like supervisors. One wore a creepy rubber Halloween mask.

In what's being compared to a scene from "The Exorcist" horror film, video has emerged reportedly showing a woman on a Detroit-bound flight having an obscenity filled meltdown in the sky. The video, posted online by WorldStarHipHop.com, shows the woman climbing the seats in the cabin of an unspecified airline, loudly screaming: "We're going to [expletive] all night, [expletive]." During the rant, the woman is seen grabbing the top of the overhead bins to gain leverage and thrust her hips forward, and at one point banging on the lockers. Some items appear to start falling out of the lockers when...

I will say this over and over for as long as the riots are engulfing our major cities, if you are driving and come across a roadway blocked by Black Lives Matter and ANITFA domestic terrorists, do not stop. If you do, it is highly likely your windows will be smashed and you will be dragged out and beaten. “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.” 2 Timothy 3:1 (KJB) Just last night in Hollywood, the land of make believe, this frightening scene played itself out like something from ‘Mad Max’ or ‘Escape From New...

The United States is not going to be governed by boutique radicalism and mob violence.I am inclined to think that the Palestinians have some legitimate beefs, historically speaking. I just don’t care very much. You blow up children in pizza shops, and your priorities go right to the bottom of my global humanitarian to-do list. Palestinians want a state? I wouldn’t lend Mahmoud Abbas a cup of sugar. It isn’t quite the PLO — not yet — but the slow-rolling crime-wave-cum-terrorist-front that is burning, looting, and murdering a ragged path through American cities is brutalizing its way into irrelevance. In...

KHARTOUM — Sudanese officials will discuss the removal of their country from a U.S. list of state sponsors of terror with U.S. officials during a visit to the United Arab Emirates this week, the ruling council said on Sunday. Sudan's transitional government, in charge since the toppling of Omar al-Bashir last year, has been pushing to get off the U.S. list, which hinders its ability to access foreign loans to tackle an economic crisis. In August, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo raised the issue of Sudan establishing ties with Israel during a visit. Sudanese Prime Minister Abdalla Hamdok told him...

The plan calls for making lynching a national hate crime President Trump’s plan for Black America designates the KKK and Antifa as terrorist organizations and calls for making lynching a national hate crime, while pledging to increase access to capital in Black communities by nearly $500 billion, Fox News has learned. The president on Friday is expected to roll out details of what the campaign is calling the “Platinum Plan,” which details “opportunity,” “security,” “prosperity,” and “fairness” for the Black Community. “For decades, Democrat politicians like Joe Biden have taken Black voters for granted. They made you big promises before...

A group of House Republicans are calling on the FBI to investigate funding behind riots throughout the U.S., saying whoever is funding the rioting should be held accountable. In a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray, Republicans called for justice to be given to the people and groups providing funding for the destruction of cities and towns across the country since the death of George Floyd. The letter was signed by around two dozen House Republicans, and calls out antifa and argues the group’s actions classifies as “domestic terrorism.” “The Department of Justice and FBI’s leadership is needed to bring...
