Giving evidence to the inquiry, Sheen Handoo, X's compliance and safety lead, confirmed the clip was "still live" for adult UK users behind a sensitivity warning. She said the video did not breach the platform's policies, despite Rudakubana having watched it shortly before the killings. Rudakubana, 20, is serving a life sentence after murdering six-year-old Bebe King, seven-year-old Elsie Dot Stancombe and nine-year-old Alice da Silva Aguiar in an attack on a dance class in Southport in July 2024. Eight other children and two adults were seriously injured. Handoo, who joined X in 2020, said: "I would first like to...

As protests in France convulsed into weeks of arson, looting, and street warfare that spread to other nations, the world had a front-row seat to watch the Red-Green Alliance in action. Red flags of socialists and communists flew alongside the Palestinian flags of Islamists. Student protests over bad schools were quickly hijacked by an alliance with the intent to overthrow democratic governments. The Far Left and Islamists who make up the Red-Green alliance have such different beliefs that the two sides should be attacking each other, but they have joined forces because there is something they both hate more and...

As seen on “The 700 Club,” November 10, 2026.

Mehr news agency reported on Monday, November 9, that three commercial units, including two traditional coffeehouses and one coffee shop, had been sealed in Baharestan County. Concurrently, local media reported the sealing of a café in the Golestan area and the arrest of its manager on charges framed by the police as “promoting corruption and prostitution.” According to Mehr, these enforcement measures were carried out during inspections of 16 commercial units under police orders. During these inspections, closure notices were also issued to seven other commercial establishments. Sayed Hashem Hosseinikhah, the police commander of Baharestan, stated that the reason for...

When Michel Houellebecq published Submission a decade ago, while Muslim terrorists were butchering cartoonists, the book’s calm unimpassioned description of France falling under the sway of a Muslim Brotherhood party with the gradual acceptance of the protagonist, a dilettante academic intellectual, who ends the novel by ‘submitting’ and converting to Islam, and the rest of society, French literary circles saw it as both fantastic and unrealistic. It’s a lot less fantastic now as Houellebecq faces a year in prison. During the 2022 interview, Houellebecq quipped that “what the native French population, as they say, wants is not for Muslims to...

There's no shortage of takeaways from last Tuesday's shellacking, but one of the most unfortunate is the door the GOP's drubbing opened for radical Islam. In Michigan, which is sounding more like an arm of the Tehran propaganda machine every day, two of the most powerful offices are laying an unnerving groundwork for the nation's next chapter. As Senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed openly warned in his victory speech, winning his seat was never the goal. "The goal is to use that seat to transform our politics." And that's what every American should be afraid of. El-Sayed's success, which seemed impossible in...

When the Federal Aviation Administration reinforced cockpit doors after the 9/11 hijackings, it turned flight decks into fortresses to lock out terrorists. But what if a terrorist is already inside? That question has new urgency following the harrowing Sept. 30 attack aboard a FlyDubai flight in which a Muslim extremist (Islamist) pilot was forcefully stopped by a heroic pilot and brave passengers from crashing a plane bound for Israel. Former aviation security officials say the FAA needs to reassess threats inside cockpits and the measures intended to counter them. They say this review is especially urgent because the agency has...

"And I mean look, ever since that guy Charlie Kirk got murdered … and I shouldn’t say this publicly but, I feel better,” Chappelle said. Comedian Dave Chappelle admitted on stage Friday that he “feels better” after Charlie Kirk’s murder. “I feel f*cked up saying this. It’s scary being a public speaker. And I mean look, ever since that guy Charlie Kirk got murdered … and I shouldn’t say this publicly but, I feel better,” Chappelle said during a stand-up set in New York City Friday night.

Olivia Reingold reports from Detroit, where the Muslim progressive’s election signifies a seismic shift in the scales of power. Socialism, TikTok, and anger now reign supreme. DETROIT, Michigan — “LET’S F[-------] GOOOOOO!” A blonde with a tattoo of the state of Michigan on her forearm thrusts her fist into the air. It is just after 1:30 a.m., and Abdul El-Sayed, a doctor turned podcaster, has been senator-elect for approximately one minute. Three friends next to me embrace in a hug. Hundreds of his supporters, crowded into a downtown event space, raise their smartphones. As his signature walk-out song, Tupac Shakur’s...

JERUSALEM, Israel – Today, we get a rare inside look at what Christians have faced under Hamas rule in Gaza. One Christian who escaped the region tells CBN News that intimidation and religious pressure have reduced Gaza’s Christian community to just a few hundred people. Naji grew up as a Christian in Gaza. He says Hamas changed life dramatically after seizing control of the Gaza Strip in 2007. He told us, “They completely restructured how everyday Gazans thought. They pushed a whole new set of ideas through mosques, teachings, periodic sermons, and structured religious circles.” This system also affected the...

Newly elected Senator Abdul El-Sayed on Friday declared Michigan “the capital of Arab America,” causing a viral reaction on social media ranging from criticism to others offering data to support his claim. Speaking at the Connect Arab America Empowerment Summit in the Washington, D.C. suburb of Chantilly, Virginia, El-Sayed opened his remarks speaking his name in Arabic fashion and went on to make the claim. “I’m honored to be the next United States senator from the great state of Michigan, which of course I know we’re here in D.C. which of course is the capital of the United States of...

Libya's highest Islamic authority, the Dar al-Ifta, has issued a fatwa in the Islamic nation, barring Muslims from buying, selling, or wearing clothing featuring the Nike logo. Sadiq al-Ghariani, the nation's highest Islamic jurist, approved the fatwa. It was issued after the Dar al-Ifta accused Nike of supporting Israel. It's the second brand-related fatwa in the country. Last year, the Dar al-Ifta issued a fatwa against luxury brand Van Cleef & Arpels, which sells jewelry, perfume, and other high-end items. Van Cleef & Arpels' four-leaf clover design is associated with Christianity and contradicted Islamic teachings. Libya has been politically divided...

The day before the midterm elections, PBS ran a piece claiming that “In the run-up to the midterm elections, experts have documented a surge of Islamophobia in political ads and speeches.” And now that Michigan’s Abdul El-Sayed will become the country’s first Muslim U.S. senator, it’s a certainty that any criticism of his statements or positions will be labeled as an attack on all followers of Islam. But as the country’s Islamic population grows and Muslims continue to gain access to the levers of power in the U.S., we need to do what we didn’t as a nation do...

The Muslim State of Michigan (MSM) is celebrating the **NEW** America tonight. It's a New World, folks, and the New World is in Order. This is what "the people" voted for.

Under the banner of fighting “Islamophobia,” groups like MPAC are quietly gaining direct access to local police departments and municipal power. By embedding hand-pick members of mosques into law enforcement, they are effectively rewriting threat priorities and silencing critics from the inside. During an August 2026 webinar hosted by the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC)’s Center for Security, Technology, and Policy (CSTP), speakers outlined a practical strategy for Muslims to enter local police forces using hand-picked members from their own mosques. The webinar was presented as an effort to train mosque security against alleged “Islamophobia” perpetuated by the “right-wing” and...

A few pre-midterms thoughts to start the week: ~Yesterday the last undecided voter in America made up her mind: bigshot Michigan Democrat Haley Stevens announced she'd be voting for the Republican. Which isn't usually the way it goes: it's almost like the Bush family faxed her the playbook upside down. However, the Dems have cunningly neutralised such defections by signing up the dead - and not just deceased humans: 'Biscuit' the dog is latest dead felon to get their voting rights back from Spanberger, confused owner says A Southside Virginia lawmaker is demanding an investigation after a constituent received an...

Islamism is a violent corruption of mainstream Islam that summons adherents back to the seventh-century ideal of bloody jihad, the homicidal and suicidal religious zealotry that propelled a motley cadre of desert nomads to conquer half the world. Sheikh Ahmed El-Tayeb, the Muslim equivalent of the Vatican has rejected Islamism as “false Islam” and a “perversion of the Islamic religion” and accused it of “barbaric crimes.”

Dr. Jay Smith examines **external polemics**—the practice of evaluating the claims and history of Islam through evidence outside of Islamic tradition, including archaeology, ancient manuscripts, and historical records. In this teaching, Dr. Smith explores some of the *historical challenges facing Islam* in light of modern discoveries in manuscript studies and archaeology. He examines questions surrounding the transmission and development of Islamic texts, manuscript variations and inconsistencies, and the archaeological evidence connected to the traditional account of Islam’s origins. As modern scholarship continues to uncover and study ancient manuscripts and archaeological sites, what do these discoveries reveal about the early history...
