Leftist mainstream media outlets piled on this week to express outrage at my observation, during a speech in Grand Rapids for Mike Rogers, about the troubling dearth of scientific output from the world’s 22 Arab nations over the past five decades.These reporters — @fatimathefatima @AP, @Kanishka183 @Reuters, @rachel_roubein @washingtonpost, @baylisswagner @nytimes, @stevebenen @MSNOWNews — omitted critical context, presumably to bestow plausibility on their accusations that my statements were racist and Islamophobic.However, my speech was not a critique of Arabs or Islam, but of Islamism (also known as “Islamofascism” or “Political Islam”), a toxic ideology conceived and promoted by the terrorist...

How nice of Judge Mohammed. Dahir Ibrahim, West Midlands Police. Nothing to see here. Just one of those misunderstandings that seem to happen with people from a society and a belief system that says raping women is okay as long as they’re not Muslims and not wearing hijabs or burkas. Meet Dahir Ibrahim: the UK’s most prominent Somali Muslim figure. A convicted Somalian rapist who managed to overturn a deportation order went on to rape two more women in Birmingham, with his lawyer arguing ‘he had a lack of understanding of what is acceptable in the UK. This made for...

CLEARWATER, Fla. – A woman wearing a full black burqa approached the podium during public comment at a Pinellas County Board of County Commissioners meeting Tuesday and played a recording of the Islamic call to prayer without first making a statement, prompting board Chairman Dave Eggers to try to stop the recording and have her removed from the podium. As the recording played, a board member reminded the woman that public comment was intended for members of the public to address commissioners, not to play recordings.

A Somali-born public school official who invaded the State of Maine years ago now wants to impose his culture on the state's natives. As The Maine Wire reported on Wednesday, the Portland Public Schools Policy Committee held a meeting on October 14 that focused on the school district's newly proposed policy on animals in schools. As currently drafted, the policy states as follows: school administration must sign off on the animals, service animals must be certified, and domestic animals must be restrained. But Abdullahi Ahmed, the Somali-born Muslim assistant superintendent for student, family, and community partnerships at Portland Public Schools,...

Hundreds of protesters stormed the Roman Colosseum and clashed with police at the historic gates as the demonstrations in France spread to Italy over the weekend. The protesters, many of them young and waving Palestinian flags, were seen cheering and yelling inside the 2,000-year-old arena during the demonstrations in Rome as security forces pushed them out. The tense scene was one of many across the country on Saturday as thousands marched in the streets of Rome, Milan, Turin and other cities to protest the current cost-of-living crisis and the ongoing war in Gaza. The Colosseum had notably upped its security...

As arsonists, rioters and looters swarmed the streets of Paris Sunday night, French police were completely ineffective and President Emmanuel Macron and his wife were off attending a concert, which featured Céline Dion.Well-planned rioting and thievery are taking place throughout France and other European countries. Some say the actions are coordinated by the extreme far left and will continue unabated. France is still six months away from its next presidential election.Europe is on fire.Its victims are on their own.Extreme anti-gun laws throughout the continent have helped fuel the fires.France has some of the strictest anti-gun laws in the world.For a...

A 17-year-old McKinney resident has been arrested and charged by the FBI for planning to assassinate U.S. Rep. Keith Self and carry out an allegedly ISIS-inspired terrorist attack in North Texas. According to reports, the bureau arrested the would-be assassin on October 5 after the individual obtained a firearm. Investigators said they believed the suspect planned the assassination for October 17. The suspect had been monitored by federal agents for some time at that point, and was believed to have been radicalized by online ISIS material. In a post to X on Wednesday, Self (R–McKinney) expressed his gratitude to the...

A Minnesota rapper who traveled to France to join escalating riots has urged white people to “raise hell” and “f–k s–t up” as part of a revolution on American soil, The Post discovered. And communist-linked groups in the US may be working to bring that hell to the nation’s capital. Artist Tufawon, whose real name is Rafael Gonzalez Jr., joined Swedish activist Greta Thunberg outside Paul Éluard, the high school at the heart of the leftist protests marred by violence, looting and arson. He addressed balaclava-clad protesters before performing his song “No One Is Illegal,” and riling up the crowd...

A pastor freed by Islamist kidnappers in Plateau State, Nigeria has told how another cleric was murdered by the gang as he tried to escape. Pastor Gabriel Joseph Dipak said that the killers joked and boasted together after they slaughtered Pastor Hills Emmanuel “like a goat”. The two men only met and began talking as they travelled in a minibus from the state capital, Jos, to Bokkos on 28 August. The vehicle was ambushed at a roadblock by four Fulani men, who were armed with guns and machetes and shouting “Allahu Akbar” (“God is the greatest”) – a traditional Islamic...

When an Iranian dissident proclaims that “the greatest killer of Iranians has been Islam,” the statement is less an exercise in academic historiography than a cry of immediate political exhaustion. Across the diaspora and within the quiet corners of Tehran, Isfahan, and Shiraz, a powerful counternarrative has taken hold. Confronted with the gallows, morality police, and institutional dogmatism of the Islamic Republic, many Iranians have turned history into a weapon of resistance. In this narrative, the seventh-century Arab conquest is not a distant chapter in antiquity, but the original sin of Persian history – an ongoing catastrophe linking the fall...

The announcement of the scheduled December 3 execution by firing squad of Nidal Hasan for his "Fort Hood" murder of 13 people and wounding of another 32 in 2009 has inspired Al Qaeda "to avenge this unwarranted slaying of a righteous Muslim. If the US dares to go through with this evil deed we will respond in kind by abducting Americans, killing them, and showing the video of their deaths to the world." "Trump may think that executing Hasan for successfully carrying out a jihad attack on infidels will deter us from our goal of conquering the world for Allah,...

At the Farm Stand Yesterday Leftist Simpering, Islamic Accepting Accolades as Due So I was standing in line at the farm stand and in front of me were three Islamic women, in full garb, the full monty: veils, wimples, and floor length dresses. They were buying coffees and cookies. Anyhow. Average looking brown women. Up to them comes a thin old white woman. She starts telling them that they are SO BEAUTIFUL! She is raving about their SPECIAL BEAUTY. The women nod and suck it up. The woman is going on about this thinking she is just so liberal to...

How about that? I'm going with a French title for today's post. By the way, speaking Spanish does not really help me understand French. Italian yes, but French sounds like Russian to me. As you've heard many times, watch out for the October Surprise, a late-breaking event that impacts, one way or another, our elections. Remember the 2004 terrorist attacks against schoolchildren in Russia that put terror on the front pages? Remember the 2008 "bank crisis" that derailed the McCain campaign? These two surprises had a lot to do with reelecting President Bush and unfortunately electing Senator Obama. The October...

Alternative for Germany (AfD) leader Alice Weidel said on Monday that the ongoing protests in France are a "warning signal" for Germany, as growing unrest in France, Belgium, Portugal, Spain, Italy, and Albania threatens to spill over into other European countries. "The violent excesses in France are a warning signal for Germany. Here too, civil war-like conditions are looming due to the dangerous mix of mass migration and left-wing extremism. Only with the AfD will there be a migration turnaround," Weidel said in a post on X. Meanwhile, Germany's Foreign Ministry warned its citizens to exercise "caution" and avoid "demonstrations"...

Police have lost control in the streets of France as Jewish business, synogogues, and homes are targeted. Roaming bands of Muslims and communists are armed with AK47s and Scorpion submachine guns as the BBC claims the protests are “mostly peaceful.” France has fallen.As images streamed of France literally on fire, the BBC took a page out of the Black Lives Matter/George Floyd riots reporting in America and unbelievably called the protests “mostly peaceful.” This occurred as rioters roamed the streets armed with AK47s and Scorpion submachine guns. Nothing to see here… in planned attacks, the Muslim migrants and communists targeted...

'A MUSLIM CITY': Trump's controversial warning about Paris

Abdul El-Sayed is being slammed over a resurfaced Columbia University research paper he authored with a “racist and eugenics outcome” that concluded Arab women should only breed with their own kind for optimal health outcomes. El-Sayed — who has repeatedly called himself a physician though he never completed his medical school residency — warned in the 2011 paper published in the “Journal of Immigrant and Minority Health” of the hazards of “interethnic mating” — which he insisted increased the risk of children being born premature. “Our findings suggest that interethnic mating may be associated with increased risk for adverse birth...

President Donald Trump warned Monday that Paris is on course to become a “Muslim city very soon,” blaming France’s escalating unrest on mass immigration and saying he had repeatedly urged French President Emmanuel Macron to close the country’s borders. “Paris is going to be a Muslim city very soon, and that wasn’t the deal,” Trump told reporters at the White House as France grappled with days of violent riots, looting, and arson. Trump said he had warned Macron about the consequences of his immigration policies years before the latest unrest. “Emmanuel, he’s a friend of mine. I told him a...

Back in the day, young people gravitated towards rock n' roll and drugs. Now, it's Islamic sharia law. A huge chunk of young Americans are giving sharia law a thumbs up, according to a new survey from Rasmussen Reports and Our Republic, which found 43% of citizens between the age of 18-24 have a positive view of it. It's nearly as popular with Americans between the age of 25-29 too, with 39% saying they have a "mostly positive" or "somewhat positive" view of sharia. In fact, sharia is more liked than disliked among young Americans, as the survey found 36%...

Democrats hate our country’s Constitution, history, laws, freedoms, prosperity, and success. Because of this hatred, they are planning and working toward America’s destruction. However, because of this extreme position, many traditional supporters are starting to defect, creating the need for Democrats to form alliances with new groups that share their hatred of and desire to destroy America. One of these alliances is with Muslims. This alliance can be seen in the growing number of Muslims Democrats are running for political office. Some Democrats, such as AOC, Flanagan, Gillibrand, and Hochul, have gone beyond forming an alliance; they have submitted to...
