For years, author Mark Steyn mentioned no-go zones and unassimilated communities. In 2017 Raheem Kassam authored the book No Go Zones: How Sharia Law is Coming to a Neighborhood Near You. A comment about the book included the following: “As I read this book, I had forgotten how many people have been murdered in the West in the name of Islam. The commonness with which these attacks are occurring is frightening and even more so, is how numb we’ve become to it. How much blood will be shed before politicians acknowledge the root cause of the problem? Europe is being...

An interview for the ages. IMHO - one of the most important interviews I've ever watched. I HIGHLY recommend you take the time to watch this interview. Tommy explains his battle with Islam, why, and what is wrong with the Church in the UK.

Dr. William Federer unpacks who Muhammad actually is and the dark history of Islam. This was during a morning service at Calvary Chapel Chino Hills this past Sunday morning.

In both medieval times and now, the Crusades weren’t spontaneous Christian colonialism; they were efforts to claw back Islamic conquest. In yesterday’s subscribers-only newsletter, I posited that Tommy Robinson is to the Islamo-socialist government of the UK what Lech Walesa was to the communist government in Poland. Through his courage, Walesa managed to knock down the first domino that led to the Soviet Union’s collapse. Robinson’s courage shows signs of doing the same against the UK’s current morally corrupt government, as evidenced by the absolutely massive Unite the Kingdom rally in London today. The rally wasn’t just humongously large; it...

At least eight people were injured Saturday in Modena, Italy when a crazed driver rammed his car into a crowd at full speed — and then knifed a hero who stopped him when he tried to flee following his cowardly act. The man has been identified by authorities as Salim el Koudri, a 31-year-old Italian citizen of Moroccan origin. The motive is not yet known, but a terrorist attack is not being ruled out, Italian newspaper La Pressa reported.

South Carolina’s Lancaster County Council voted unanimously last week to deny a conditional-use permit for a proposed Islamic Mosque and community center in the Indian Land area after angry residents passionately spoke out against it. The rejection came after more than two hours of intense public testimony in which multiple residents warned that the mosque would import Sharia law and represent an ideological takeover incompatible with American values. One resident went viral after she declared, “This is not about a place of worship; this is not about religion; Islam is not a religion, it’s a takeover.” She went on to...

Islamist terrorists have claimed the killing of more than 80 Christians in several armed assaults in north-eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). In the deadliest attack, an estimated 60 “Christian combatants” were killed by fighters from Islamic State Central Africa Province (ISCAP) in a May 5 attack in Beni Territory on the border of North Kivu and Ituri provinces. In recent months, Islamic State propaganda has used the word “combatants” to describe Christians who have refused to accept either conversion to Islam or dhimmi status as subjugated people. In classical Islam, those who accept such a status must pay...

Officials with the Texas A&M University System have formally objected to the use of the “TexAM University” name by a North Texas Islamic educational entity already facing a state order to cease operations. In a cease-and-desist letter issued Friday, the Texas A&M University System demanded that the Richardson-based organization immediately stop using names, trademarks, domains, and branding elements that officials say infringe upon or dilute Texas A&M’s trademarks. The entity, which brands itself as “TexAM University” or “Texas American Muslim University at Dallas,” has promoted itself as an Islamic-centered institution offering STEM coursework integrated with Islamic studies. According to the...

As Pakistan positioned itself as a diplomatic conduit between Tehran and Washington, it quietly allowed Iranian military aircraft to park on its airfields, potentially shielding them from American airstrikes, according to U.S. officials with knowledge of the matter. Iran also sent civilian aircraft to park in neighboring Afghanistan. It was not clear if military aircraft were among those flights, two of the officials told CBS News. Together, the movements reflected an apparent effort to insulate some of Iran's remaining military and aviation assets from the expanding conflict, even as officials publicly served as brokers for de-escalation. The U.S. officials, who...

Fujisawa, Kanagawa Pref. – A mosque construction project in Fujisawa, a city of 440,000 about an hour south of Tokyo, has become a focal point for debate over how Japanese communities are adapting to a growing Muslim population.Sri Lankan businessman Mohamed Khaleel, 54, says the idea of building a mosque in his adopted hometown emerged over a decade ago among the local Muslim community. The closest big mosque to the city center, Ebina Masjid, is 20 kilometers away and has been struggling to serve the increasing Muslim population in the area. . . . Hirofumi Tanada, a professor emeritus at...

Great Britain, traditionally considered the anchor of western civilization, is facing an incomprehensibly tragic fate, determined to replace its people and commit cultural suicide. Great Britain once commanded respect worldwide as the irreplaceable anchor of Western civilization. Its institutions—rooted in the Magna Carta’s covenant of liberties, the common law’s impartiality, the Enlightenment’s rational skepticism, and the parliamentary democracy that exported freedom across continents—embodied the West’s highest aspirations: individual autonomy, secular governance, equality before the law, and the unyielding defense of conscience. Yet these foundations are now being dismantled. In earlier times, this would have taken a military invasion or revolution....

Will we allow Koranic culture and sharia law to take Texas too? There’s no denying that large-scale activities taken by any Muslim transplants will likely raise red flags for the American community already there. That’s just what happened to the community originally called EPIC City, for East Plano Islamic Center, now renamed as “The Meadow.” Gov. Greg Abbott and Attorney General Ken Paxton became very suspicious of the planned development and filed several lawsuits, alleging the developers were “implementing Sharia Law and creating a no-go zone for non-Muslims.” While Paxton and Abbott successfully delayed the development, last week a judge...

Germany is so far gone that even immigrants have their own jokes about themselves all being on welfare while the natives work to pay for their lifestyle.

TexAM University at Dallas is marketing itself as a new, Dallas-based “Texas American Muslim University” that blends STEM degrees with mandatory Islamic studies and explicitly positions Islam at the center of its academic model. With a physical address in Richardson, the university has received a warm welcome from Mayor Amir Omar, who is the city’s first Muslim mayor. The address is shared by the Dallas Diyanet Mosque and the Islamic Seminary of America. In a video posted to social media, Omar praised TexAM’s plans and signaled strong support, even joking that he has already “picked out” future office space for...

The concentration of knife attacks in the Barcelona metropolitan area widens the gap between the official discourse on crime and public perception of security. Crime scene cordoned off iby the regional police in Barcelona on May 4, 2026 - @AlertaMundoNews on X, May 4, 2026 Barcelona and its metropolitan area saw an unusual sequence of knife violence this weekend: four stabbings in just 24 hours, two of them fatal. The most serious incident occurred on Saturday morning. A woman was killed in broad daylight in one of the quietest residential areas of the municipality. It did not take place in...

Ashkan Asadian, an Iranian British man, chased the perpetrator of last week’s antisemitic stabbing attack in north London’s Golders Green neighborhood and helped one of the victims flee by distracting the terrorist, Asadian told the BBC. Security camera footage from the Wednesday attack showed the perpetrator, identified by police as 45-year-old Somali-born UK national Essa Suleiman, stabbing Moshe Shine, 76, next to a bus stop. A passerby, identified by the BBC as Asadian, can be seen running in the direction of the attacker. “Maybe I can save someone’s life,” Asadian, 61, recalled thinking at the time… Asadian, a naturalized British...

A taxpayer-funded Texas waterpark has sparked backlash by organizing a Muslim-only day to celebrate Eid. Epic Waters in Grand Prairie, Texas drew outrage this week as it released fliers for the June 1 event, which will demand a 'modest dress code' and serve only Halal-slaughtered meat.

A quiet legal ruling in Texas has opened the door to a much louder national conversation. When Amy Meachum ordered the state to allow construction of a 400-acre Muslim community—complete with homes, a mosque, schools, and businesses—it wasn’t just a zoning decision. It was a window into a deeper reality: Islam is growing in the United States, and with that growth comes both opportunity and tension that Americans can no longer ignore. The development, formerly known as Epic City and now called “The Meadow,” represents a vision of communal life shaped around Islamic faith and culture. Backed by developers and...

Last month, the Arab-American Business and Professional Association (ABPA) unveiled the first of its "Welcome to Little Palestine" signs in Bridgeview, a suburb 15 miles southwest of Chicago. The sign was erected at 83rd Street and Harlem Avenue, welcoming visitors to an area stretching from 79th Street to 113th Street that ABPA calls one of the largest Palestinian-American communities in the United States. A second sign followed at Westfield Plaza on 87th Street. ABPA president Rush Darwish declared at that unveiling: "This unveiling is more than a sign -- it is a declaration of who we are."The designation came after...

If a country cannot defend itself from external attacks and will not defend its own internal culture, then that country won’t long last. This isn’t a controversial point, is it? Nations survive when they are capable of securing their borders from invaders who wish to conquer them. Nations endure when they are capable of preserving their own historic cultures. When they can do neither, foreigners take over and either kill, enslave, or convert the locals. That’s human history in a nutshell. Do you remember when people were handing over their DNA to genealogy-mapping businesses that trace family lineages, and most...
