In late October 2025, a violent altercation in Podgorica’s Zabjelo neighborhood ignited a firestorm of public outrage across Montenegro, exposing deep-seated anxieties over rapid Turkish migration. On the night of October 25, a 25-year-old local resident, identified only as M.J., was brutally stabbed—suffering seven wounds—during a verbal dispute outside a bar in the working-class district. Police investigations quickly pointed to involvement by three Azerbaijani nationals and one Turkish citizen, leading to the arrest of two suspects and the detention of 45 other Turkish and Azerbaijani individuals for questioning on residency status and potential links to the violence. Eight were slated...

As leaders equivocate and extremists unite left and right, open season on Jews spreads across the West—unchecked, unnamed, and certain to grow deadlier. Jews celebrating Hanukkah were just slaughtered by Muslim gunmen on an Australian beach, in an imitation of the October 7 massacres. At Brown University, two students were killed and nine wounded by an allegedly Muslim shooter. An inert Europe is canceling Christmas celebrations out of fear of threats of violence from Muslim minorities. In the West, when an Islamist shoots a Jew, politicians often offer two bizarre remedies: gun control or a task force to tackle Islamophobia....

A survey from the French Institute of Public Opinion (IFOP) has found that at least one in three Muslims living in France believe that the Sharia law should be instituted globally. In a follow up to its annual survey of Muslim opinion in France, IFOP released another poll of 1,005 Muslims over the age of 15 to specifically examine “the influence of political Islamism” in the country, notably through the Muslim Brotherhood, which the French government has accused of engaging in a decades-long campaign to undermine Western civilization. According to the survey, 32 percent of Muslims in France consider Islam...

The Broken Arrow Planning Commission voted to approve the rezoning request to turn 15 acres of land just south of the Creek Turnpike along Olive Avenue from agricultural use to commercial and conditional use, allowing for a retail center and a mosque to be built on the site. The topic was contentious with over 60 people signing up to speak at Thursday's planning commission meeting. Opinions in the room were greatly varied. "This is a Christian nation," said one resident. "Islam is incompatible with Christianity. Islam is incompatible with our Constitution." Another resident disagreed, saying, "Approving this project sends a...

A Florida Islamic cleric named Dr. Fadi Yousef Kablawi gave a sermon earlier this month declaring that the US deserves divine punishment from Allah and has only been spared because of devout Muslims living in the country. He also called President Trump “human garbage” and asserted that the dirtiest Somali’s feet are cleaner than his face, while claiming Secretary of State Marco Rubio is “gay,” and that the mere prospect of a caliphate gives him nightmares.

“They don’t move from the Arab world to Europe. They move the Arab world to Europe.” So said Professor Mordechai Kedar when he spoke to me for an extended interview as part of my podcast series. That episode was published the very day the Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia, was attacked. The massacre only confirmed his words. Migration, as he described it, does not merely transfer people from one place to another. It carries cultures, ideologies, and systems of meaning with it, and those systems do not remain inert; they spread and even flourish. Kedar’s claim is...

The person of interest, Mustapha Kharbouch, previously published a 2024 manifesto with the Institute for Palestine Studies—since deleted—in which he explicitly framed campus agitation as a form of revolutionary struggle and called for sustained confrontation. His own words are damning: “Our refusal to be complacent in the heart of the empire is the bare minimum of love and care we can show our people in Gaza,” and “Palestine is becoming a question of how we want to fundamentally rearrange our world.” This

The moment hero bus passengers leapt into action and saved a teenage girl from being kidnapped by a Sudanese migrant as she walked home has been released.

.... 1 January 1915 was a holiday for the mining community of Broken Hill. It was the height of the southern summer and about 1,200 men, women and children were looking forward to a picnic organised by the Manchester Unity Order of Oddfellows. They were to take a train the 15 or so miles from Broken Hill towards Silverton. Unbeknown to the miners and their families, two men had, for varying reasons, prepared an ambush. ..... AmbushAs the train, comprising forty open carriages, pulled up a hill two miles outside Broken Hill, it came into sight of the two men...

My previous immediate Substack column was titled, “Holiday Warnings.” However, unfortunately, we’ve graduated to “Holiday Terror.” This weekend we received chilling news about two mass terror attacks. The first was a shooting on Brown University’s campus and the second was against Jews attending an open-air Chanukah celebration on an Australian beach. We are grieving for all the victims and their families. But lost in this dark weekend was also an explicit warning by the federal government’s Director of National Intelligence that there may be as many as 18,000 terrorists living in our midst. Yes. This extraordinary disclosure by DNI chief...

This is a short video of a very fed-up Australian citizen who is sick to death of islam and multicultural bull crap. I have to warn you that there are some very nasty words but the guy is angry and if the other side shoots us, rapes us, murders us and robs is— you know what? They are going to hear a few choice words. Sticks and stones mate.

Reports and eyewitness accounts circulating since the Brown shooting claim the attacker shouted “Allahu Akbar” before opening fire. Police have not publicly confirmed the words, and most major outlets are using vague language like “he shouted something.” If authorities have audio, bodycam, or corroborated witness statements, they should release or formally clarify what was said—because it directly bears on motive and public safety. They have a suspect and lord knows how much video footage from CCTV but the only thing they shared is a grainy, short clip of the killer from the back. The shooting occurred in the classroom of...

Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani decried the “vile act of antisemitic terror” that unfolded during a Hanukkah celebration in Bondi Beach, Australia on Sunday and vowed to “keep Jewish New Yorkers safe.” During a Chanukah by the Sea event on the iconic Sydney beach on Sunday, at least two gunmen opened fire, killing 11 people, including children, and wounding at least 29 others. “The attack at a Hanukkah celebration in Sydney today was a vile act of antisemitic terror.

Police boost security for Scottsdale Chanukah event (Only linked to, per FR rules.)

LONDON (AP) — In the past year, tens of thousands hostile to immigrants marched through London, chanting “send them home!” A British lawmaker complained of seeing too many non-white faces on TV. And senior politicians advocated the deportation of longtime U.K. residents born abroad. The overt demonization of immigrants and those with immigrant roots is intensifying in the U.K. — and across Europe — as migration shoots up the political agenda and right-wing parties gain popularity. In several European countries, political parties that favor mass deportations and depict immigration as a threat to national identity come at or near the...
