The bad news is that Brussels is no longer Brussels. Over the last month, we've seen an attack on Governor Josh Shapiro's home, the killing of a young couple in D.C., and now a Molotov cocktail thrown at people peacefully protesting. By the way, what do these incidents have in common? The targets are all Jewish and the guy in Boulder, Colorado somehow managed to get a work permit after his visa expired. Where else is stuff like this happening? Let's check out Brussels, once a very traditional European city that tourists loved to visit. Well, check again because Brussels...

A 2017 book lays out in detail the Koran’s reality, something that’s important for everyone to know as Muslims expand their presence throughout the West. A database search of 12 million books published in the 300 years before 9/11 reveals only one instance of the phrase “Islam is a religion of peace.” It appears in fiction and is spoken by Ayatollah Mahmoud Haji Daryaei, an Iranian leader in Tom Clancy’s thriller Executive Orders. But the dangerous notion that Islam is peaceful has been so frequently reiterated by world leaders, clerics, and the liberal media-academia complex that it has taken on...

In Boulder, Colorado, eight elderly Jews were torched alive in a park. They wore red T-shirts bearing the names of hostages seized by Palestinian terrorists over 600 days earlier. Some carried Israeli flags. Walking peacefully in memory and solidarity, they were attacked with fire as a flamethrower and Molotov cocktails created flames as high as a tree. An 88-year-old Holocaust survivor was among the injured. The attacker, Mohamed Sabry Soliman, is reported to be an Egyptian national in the country illegally. He now faces murder charges. This third such targeted attack on American Jews in three months confirms a disturbing...

Humanity’s trajectory once bent toward progress in a region now dominated by stagnation. Ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, Persia, the Levant, these were the fonts of civilization. They birthed the first laws, invented writing, pioneered math, and constructed monumental architecture that still defies modern imitation. Yet these once-dazzling societies, upon embracing Islam, began a long, measured descent. A faith that proclaimed itself a new revelation to mankind did not elevate these societies beyond their pagan pasts, it arrested their evolution and, more gravely, outlawed much of the progress they had already achieved. Inquiry became heresy. Innovation became blasphemy. The gears of advancement,...

Boulder attacker Mohamed Sabry Soliman, 42, was in the country Illegally He’s an Egyptian national who arrived during the Biden administration on a B-2 visa and never returned home.

You’d think an elderly woman getting burned alive at a pro-Israel event by a man hurling Molotov cocktails while screaming “This will end when Palestine is free” would be universally condemned as terrorism. But this is 2025, with the media’s moral compass still spinning wildly and antisemitism extremely fashionable on the political left. So, instead of acknowledging the obvious, CNN went into full denial mode the moment the FBI under Director Kash Patel called the Boulder firebombing exactly what it was: a targeted terror attack. Despite the local police chief declining to confirm whether the Boulder attack was targeted, the...

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is investigating a "targeted terror attack" Sunday afternoon near Pearl Street Mall in Boulder, Colorado. At about 4:30 p.m., the Boulder Police Department said it was responding to a report of an attack near the mall with reports of several victims. "We are aware of and fully investigating a targeted terror attack in Boulder, Colorado," FBI Director Kash Patel wrote in a statement on X. "Our agents and local law enforcement are on the scene already, and we will share updates as more information becomes available." Witnesses who spoke with CBS said the suspect...

When FBI director Kash Patel condemned Canada allowing Islamic terrorists to gain a foothold in North America, Canadian politicians and pundits, including new Prime Minister Mark Carney, dismissed Patel’s assertions as baseless fearmongering. Unfortunately, it is clear that the Trump administration is correct: Radical Islamic ideology has become endemic in Canada over the past decade. The Canadian Security Intelligence Service itself has confirmed that, since 2015, radical Islamic ideology has become commonplace throughout Canadian society, as a result of the porous borders and the Liberal government’s unwillingness to effectively regulate the influx of international migration into Canada. Numerous terrorist leaders...

In a brief return to Britain, I was concerned to see that London has undergone a dramatic demographic change. The city of my birth is visibly more Muslim than it was even four years ago. On the Tube, I saw more hijabs than baseball caps. The Muslim niqab -- with its full face covering -- is no longer rare. For decades, Brits have not been allowed to question the wisdom of importing large numbers of people into a western society who do not share western values. (Brits who do so on social media risk going to prison). Instead, there was...

Liverpool, England, has a rich, consequential, and sometimes controversial history. More recently, it may be known to many as home of the Beatles. It is also where one of the world’s most famous soccer clubs play. Liverpool F.C. just won the vaunted English Premier League title. Commence celebrations with a joyful street parade. Stop! End celebrations in tragedy as a vehicle mowed down bystanders, injuring dozens.The investigation is ongoing, but in record time (compared to other mass-casualty crimes) the police have identified the driver as a white male, British, from Liverpool. The apparent motivation for releasing these details so promptly...

New statistics out of Germany reveal that foreign-born women, but specifically foreign-born Muslim women, are far more violent than native German men. The Remix News staff, which reported on the story, quipped that the revelation “blows up a common myth that has been perpetuated by the left for years”—that men are so violent, a bear is preferable company. (Again, never mind the fact that men, to their own detriment, have been protecting their women for essentially all of human history.) Here are the numbers for 2024: Out of 100,000 people, German men were suspects in violent offenses in 272 cases....

News From the Front: The ‘Migrant Hell’ in France May 27, 2025 2:00 pm By Hugh Fitzgerald6 Comments Muslims in France now constitute 10% of the population. They are in the country to live off the largesse the generous French welfare state provides: free or greatly subsidized housing, free medical care, free education including language lessons and vocational training, family allowances, and more. They are happy to pocket all this, and in no hurry to be employed. Instead, “pour finir le mois” — to “round out the month” — in case what they receive from the state is not enough,...

Israel’s onslaught on Gaza shows no sign of abating despite increasing international condemnation and diplomatic pressure. ... A series of strikes across the strip left dozens dead on Tuesday including almost all of the Sheik Khalil family who were sheltering in a school in Gaza City. Lindsey Hilsum reports on the remarkable escape of one member of that family.

There seems to have been a full-scale war mob attack there, including an attempt to get to the U.S. Embassy, but no one outside of social media is covering it. We’re all familiar with the old philosophical question asking, “If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?” In other words, do things actually happen if we don’t notice them? For infants, they don’t, which is why peek-a-boo is such a fun game. If they don’t see you, you’re gone, making your visual return magical. But does the same...

Harvard refuses to expel two violent students named Elom Tettey-Tamaklo and Ibrahim Bharmal, even though there is video proof that they assaulted a Jewish student.

After a bloodthirsty socialist murdered Israeli Embassy staffers Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim on Wednesday night, conservative commentator Scott Jennings acerbically noted, “If Biden or Harris were president we’d be getting a scolding right now for this epidemic of Islamophobia.” His comment struck me as a bullseye worth repeating. In this “culture war” that divides our nation (and Western civilization more generally), those on the political left excuse monsters and vilify victims. Sure enough, CNN was back at it within hours of Wednesday’s political assassination. Concerned about the possibility that sane Americans might see the connection between the Jew-hate on...

Protesters have chanted, “Globalize the intifada!” and “There is only one solution, intifada revolution!” across U.S. college campuses and city streets since Israel began defending itself after the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks. Radical activists have used these dark slogans not just as a chant but as a call to action. It is time for Americans to face the true threat posed by radicalized progressive Democrats.The deaths of Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim, two Israeli Embassy staffers, outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday evening underscore this new reality. The shooter, a pro-Palestinian activist tied to the communist...

The attack is being investigated as an act of terrorism. Key Details: The shooting occurred outside the Capital Jewish Museum around 9 p.m. following a reception hosted by the American Jewish Committee. The suspect allegedly shouted “Free, free Palestine” before opening fire. Lischinsky had just purchased an engagement ring and planned to propose to Milgrim next week in Jerusalem. Diving Deeper: A senseless act of violence rocked the Israeli diplomatic community in Washington, D.C.,...
