After resisting the military invasions of the Caliphate for centuries, Europe, led by German Chancellor Angela Merkel, decided to open its borders wide to migrants with entrenched supremacist beliefs. On May 19, 2026, the European Parliament inducted Angela Merkel into the inaugural European Order of Merit as a “Distinguished Member.” In this capacity, she holds a status comparable to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and former Polish President Lech Wałęsa. The award purportedly recognizes contributions to European integration and the defense of shared values. In a ceremony marked by protests from the Patriots for Europe alliance, who decried the event as...

THE HAGUE, Netherlands -- Two children and an adult were killed Thursday in the rural southern Netherlands when a car struck a group of cyclists who were on a school camping trip, local emergency services said. Four more children were seriously injured in the incident. They were taken to hospitals in the Netherlands and nearby Belgium for treatment. The dead and injured were part of a group of 14 schoolchildren and two chaperones, the Zeeland Security Region organization said in a statement. Police are investigating the cause of the incident on a provincial road that runs between farmers' fields near...

British couple was kidnapped, murdered and fed to crocodiles while searching a nature reserve in South Africa for rare seeds, a court heard Tuesday. Horticulturist Rod Saunders, 74, and his wife, microbiologist Dr. Rachel Saunders, 63, were camping in the remote Ngoye Forest Reserve when they disappeared in February 2018, the Daily Mail reported. The couple was last heard from on Feb. 8, when they told an employee about their plans to camp in the reserve 30 miles north of Durban. Police now say that Sayefundeen Aslam Del Vecchio, his wife, Bibi Fatima Patel, and their tenant Mussa Ahmad Jackson...

From Michael Konrad at American Thinker When one thinks of mass murder, Hitler comes to mind. If not Hitler, then Tojo, Stalin, or Mao. Credit is given to the 20th-century totalitarians as the worst species of tyranny to have ever arisen. However, the alarming truth is that Islam has killed more than any of these, and may surpass all of them combined in numbers and cruelty. The enormity of the slaughters of the “religion of peace” are so far beyond comprehension that even honest historians overlook the scale. When one looks beyond our myopic focus, Islam is the greatest killing...

The number of “threat to kill” knife offences in London has risen to close to a record high, official figures reveal. There were 154 such attacks in April, up from 126 in March, 92 in February and 127 in January, according to Metropolitan Police data. The alarming new figure is the second highest on record, going back to 2015, and sparked a heated political row over law and order in London. While overall knife crime is down in London, the city has been rocked in recent weeks by a series of fatal and other serious stabbings. In what appears to...

In April 2025, amid active congressional investigations, federal FARA violation requests, a sitting faculty member who had publicly hoped Iran would bomb a US military base, Hamas symbols spray-painted on dorm walls, a student body that had just voted 68% to boycott Israel, and an ongoing war in which Iran was targeting American institutions — Georgetown University’s interim president flew to Doha and signed a ten-year contract renewal with Qatar Foundation. He then accepted a ceremony in which Georgetown’s highest honor, the President’s Medal, was given to Sheikha Moza bint Nasser — the Qatari royal who had publicly praised Hamas...

When you import the Third World, you import the Third World's problems. Right now, that's never been more apparent than in Belfast, Northern Ireland, where an immigrant variously described as Sudanese and Somalian brutally attacked a young Irish man. The UK's Prime Minister, Kier Starmer, is outraged. The post reads: KIER STARMER: Belfast stabbing was "sickening." Irish officials and law enforcement have urged the public not to circulate footage of the African migrant, citing concerns of unrest and "misinformation." PM Keir Starmer called the attack “horrific” and “sickening,” saying he had “absolutely no tolerance” for violence like this. The footage...

There are books you read once and never fully put down. Being There by Jerzy Kosinski is one of mine. It belongs to that rare category of literature I think of as Kafkaesque: writing that seems absurd on the surface but cuts so precisely into the truth of how human beings actually function that it leaves you unsettled long after the last page. Kosinski understood something about us that most of us prefer not to examine — that we do not really listen to the people we elevate. We listen to ourselves, reflected back. It’s a story about a gardener...

“Qatar bought a soccer team, a giant energy conglomerate — and, it seems, a French President.” — Biff Spackle.In April 2024, a 73-page secret report landed on the desk of France’s President Macron. It said the Muslim Brotherhood (once aligned with Nazi Germany) had spent forty years (yes, four decades) secretly infiltrating French neighborhoods, schools, and city halls. And all of it was bankrolled by Qatar and Turkey. Emmanuel Macron read the report. He understood it. Then he locked it in a drawer. And full credit for this story goes to Behind the Narrative 📣. This is the story he...

Chatham House research fellow Farea al-Muslimi told the leftist outlet New York Times (NYT) that the Houthis could effectively blockade the Bab el-Mandeb with only a few terrorist strikes against vulnerable tankers and cargo ships. “They can just send a signal and only one attack has to happen – and that will send a shock across insurance companies,” he said. “I won’t be surprised now if you have a joint lockdown of Hormuz and Bab al-Mandab,” he predicted. The Iran-backed Houthi insurgents of Yemen declared “a complete and total ban on Israeli maritime navigation” through the Red Sea on Monday....

A Target store in a Minneapolis suburb cordoned off a hallway with six changing rooms, seemingly to convert at least part of the space into a Muslim prayer area. The store is located in Apple Valley, Minnesota, which is just south of the Twin Cities. A concerned customer recently photographed the repurposed area and sent the photos to Alpha News. The pictures show retractable belts sectioning off both sides of the hallway, as well as a sign on one of the doors that said 'RAMADAN MUBARAK,' which is a traditional Arabic greeting during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

The open betrayal of Western Civilization and British tradition by Muslim Labour Backbenchers and Green Party representatives. The edifice of Western civilization, forged in the crucible of Judeo-Christian values—individual dignity under a transcendent moral law, ordered liberty, the sanctity of the vulnerable, and a commitment to truth over tribal expediency—is imperiled not by external conquest alone, but equally by internal subversion. In a world ravaged by unrest, Britain used to be a model of institutional stability, political pragmatism, and academic excellence. Now, however, it is being torn apart by ideologically inflamed barbarians. Thus, in contemporary Britain, a betrayal on a...

CAIR-LA crosses a very distinct line in its attack on UCLA's guidelines against anti-Semitism. Hussam Ayloush deserves credit for cultivating his reputation as a “moderate Muslim.” He has proven effective at winning over audiences -- including liberal Jews -- all the while aiming many of his relentless anti-Israel attacks at them. His worst detractors would concede he qualifies as the educated and polished face of CAIR-LA (Council on American-Islamic Relations). Ayloush showcased his rhetorical skill at the time he issued a “public statement” opposing UCLA’s new guidelines to Combat Antisemitism (released by Chancellor Julio Frenk and a 15-person action group)....

Who are the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR, and why should Americans care? Because both are Islamist front groups dedicated to Islam’s eradication of Christianity and Judaism, the genocide of the Jews and anyone opposing them, and the conquest of Western Civilization. The invaluable Discover the Networks notes the Muslim Brotherhood is determined “that Islam should be ‘given hegemony over all matters of life.” To accomplish that, the Brother’s credo states: “God is our objective, the Koran is our Constitution, the Prophet is our leader, struggle [jihad] is our way, and death for the sake of God is the highest of...

A total of 219 people have been injured in clashes between football fans and police across France after Paris St-Germain (PSG) won the Champions League final against Arsenal. Eight were in a serious condition, Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez said. Thousands of officers were deployed to curb unrest that disrupted bus, train and rail services in the capital, Paris. Fifty-seven of them were injured. Nuñez said 780 people had been arrested over the violence - with more than 450 in custody. A person was found dead after an accident on Paris's ring road, which rioters tried to block overnight. Some 6,000...

Six million dead. Ten million enslaved. Twenty-five million displaced. The raging genocide hiding in plain sight — and why you’ve never heard of it. They say the winners write the history books. What if the Nazis had won? The Holocaust would be a vague conspiracy theory — denied, spun, suppressed, purged from the media. Anyone who raised it would be marginalized, branded a fringe lunatic. Israel wouldn’t exist. The Middle East would be under total Islamic domination. And eventually, America would be fighting Nazis on the homefront. We don’t have to guess what that world looks like. There’s a real...

Some critiques are too easy, and that is often the case with AOC. It tells you something awful about our elite universities that she graduated from Boston University with two degrees: one in international relations and the other in economics. She knows nothing about either. Being a politician whose main appeal, aside from her appealing looks, is an ability to perform to a crowd of leftists, AOC obviously couldn't pass up an invitation to speak at a Muslim Eid celebration along with Mayor Zohran Mamdani. While I don't, in principle, object to politicians respectfully adopting traditions for the sake...

On May 27th AOC participated in a large gathering for the Muslim holiday Eid al-Adha. In so doing, she taught us something about her and something about Islam. First among them was that Muslim men couldn't give a damn. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was seemingly ignored by attendees at an Eid al-Adha event, with fellow participants loudly talking over her, according to a viral video.The Representative went to a celebration of the Muslim holiday with New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani in the Bronx on Wednesday, during which she wore a scarf as a hijab.Mamdani, the city's first Muslim mayor, wore an...

A crazed knifeman shouted “Allahu Akbar” and stabbed three men in front of schoolchildren at a Swiss train station Thursday morning – and authorities labeled the attacker’s rampage a “heinous act of terrorism.” The madman, a 31-year-old Turkish-Swiss citizen, stabbed three men with a “bladed weapon” just after 8:30 a.m. at the Winterthur train station outside Zurich, the Zurich Cantonal Police said. One witness told local outlet Blick that the man shouted “Allahu Akbar five or six times in a very emotional and agitated manner” and three men, age 28, 43, and 52, were injured in the rampage. SNIP
