Muslims gathered at New York City’s Times Square on Friday (February 20) for Ramadan Tarawih prayers.

Apparently, Americans must give up their dogs to avoid appearing “Islamophobic.” Outrage against Rep. Randy Fine (R-Fla.) is the left’s outrage du jour. The rage mob swung into action after Fine wrote: “If they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one.” Yeah, that was it. He didn’t say “Kill them all” or even “Deport them all.” He didn’t recommend any action at all. He was actually responding to an X post from far-left, pro-Hamas activist Nerdeen Kiswani. In response to a news item about two grocery stores removing people with dogs, Kiswani...

Democratic politicians have found themselves indirectly defending Islam’s 7th-century hatred of man’s best friend, dogs.Several Democrats have instinctively accused Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL) of racism after he reacted to a New York-based Muslim advocate, Nerdeen Kiswani — who said house pet dogs will not be welcome in a non-secular, Islamic New York.

There is suspicion of an Islamist terrorist attack in London. A 13-year-old boy carried out a stabbing attack on two other boys, aged 13 and 12, who are in critical condition. This morning (Wednesday), the Daily Mail reported that according to testimonies from the school, the attacker, who fled and was arrested after a manhunt, shouted "Allahu Akbar" as he stabbed his victims.

The 13-year-old pulled out a knife and stabbed his first...

Rural Texas residents claim that a Muslim city is being built in their backyard and accuse local officials of being very secretive about the deal. Kaufman, Texas, residents didn’t think much of it when Kaufman Solar LLC bought a massive parcel of land in 2022. However, now that a mysterious buyer from the Middle East is looking to purchase an estimated 2,000 acres of land right next door to the planned solar farm to establish a sustainable city, they are worried about the impact. Residents first became aware of the potential new settlement through a Facebook post from a concerned...

Elaine Ellinger’s article reveals why banning Sharia without defining religion is a legal fraud—and what must be done to stop the endless cycle of empty legislation. Randy Fine’s proposed U.S. legislation, H.R. 5512, titled: No Shari’a Act, promises to prohibit U.S. courts from enforcing any ruling “based in whole or in part” on Sharia if it violates constitutional rights.Hope is not strategy.The bill is well-intentioned but doomed. Remarkably, the bill never once defines the word “Shari’a” — leaving judges to guess what qualifies. Without that definition, and without fixing the deeper constitutional blind spot on what actually qualifies as a...

Two gunmen have opened fire at Bondi Beach with grave fears multiple people have been shot dead. Locals reported hearing gunfire about 6.50pm on Sunday, sending hundreds fleeing from the beach while police raced to the scene. Footage taken by locals showed two men wearing black and firing what appear to be shotguns from on top of a footbridge behind the surf club...

“We’re saying Merry Christmas again!” President Trump declared recently, referring to the politically correct social pressure Christians sometimes feel to downplay the holiday greeting in order to be more “inclusive” of non-Christians. For decades now, as the culture has become more secular, references to Christ have been gradually drained from the season celebrating His birth: schools have changed “Christmas break” to “winter break”; Christmas tree lighting ceremonies have become “Winter” or “Holiday” tree lightings; and most notoriously, “Happy Holidays” has replaced “Merry Christmas” in many chain stores, advertisements, and corporate settings. Some claim that the idea of a “war...

Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani offered advice to illegal immigrants on how to evade ICE in a video message Sunday — calling on illegal immigrants to “stand up” to the federal agents and “know your rights.” The democratic socialist positioned himself as the mayor of “more than 3 million immigrants” as he spoke following last weekend’s ICE raid in Chinatown, which was disrupted by protesters. “Last weekend, ICE attempted to raid Canal Street and detain our immigrant neighbors,” Mamdani said in a video posted on X on Sunday. “As mayor, I’ll protect the rights of every single New Yorker. And that includes...

University of Delaware student arrested with car full of guns, plans to carry out mass shooting — and chilling note about ‘martyrdom’ A University of Delaware student was arrested with a car full of guns, body armor, and a manifesto that declared he wanted to “kill all” in a mass shooting on the Wilmington campus to achieve “martyrdom.” Luqmaan Khan, 25, was arrested on Nov. 24 after cops found the high-powered cache in his car where he was parked in a public park after class hours.

France’s domestic intelligence service has warned of a growing threat to Christian communities, according to a confidential report obtained by Le Figaro that links recent attacks in Europe to decades of jihadist propaganda. The warning comes in the wake of the September 10th attack in Lyon on Ashur Sarnaya, an Iraqi Christian man in a wheelchair, which investigators say reflects a persistent jihadist obsession with targeting Christians. According to France’s General Directorate for Internal Security (DGSI), Islamist organizations have consistently targeted Christians, portraying them as “infidels” or “idolaters.” This rhetoric, the report says, is rooted in long-standing propaganda that casts...

Unique among major religions, Islam offers even the worst of its sinners, fallen “bad Muslims,” an instant pathway to redemption, in order to enter paradise as a hero. No matter if a Mohammedan has been drinking, gambling, whoring and hanging out with non-Muslims for years, he can have all the Islamic sins of his past forgiven if he dies in the act of killing infidels. I think we saw one example of this yesterday in Washington DC. Time will tell. The intentional suicide crash of Egypt Air Flight 990 in 1999 is another infamous example. For reasons of national pride,...

WASHINGTON — Libby Hilsenrath’s eight-year odyssey to protect her son from what she considered unconstitutional religious indoctrination has reached the final chapter. Last week, the Thomas More Law Center (TMLC), a national public interest law firm based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, filed a Reply Brief on her behalf — the final written plea to the U.S. Supreme Court to reverse lower court decisions which affirmed Chatham Middle School teaching seventh grade students: “May God help us all find the true faith, Islam.” Libby Hilsenrath, reflecting on the uncertainty of the High Court’s weighty decision, commented: “This is the path God...

The lingering appeal of Isis as an idea in the Islamic world should not be dismissedIndications that the Islamic State (ISIS) has begun to employ artificial intelligence in its efforts to recruit new fighters should come as no surprise. At the height of its power a decade ago, Isis was characterized by its combination of having mastered the latest methods of communication with an ideology and praxis that seemed to have emerged wholesale from the deserts of 7th century Arabia. In 2014 and 2015, ISIS recruitment took place on Twitter and Facebook. YouTube was the favored platform for the dissemination...

The website Muslims Around the World has announced that November 17 will henceforth be recognized as an International Day to honor Muslim communities living in non-Muslim countries. According to the Shia Waves Agency, citing the BBC, the initiative aims to highlight the social, cultural, and spiritual contributions of Muslim minorities and to strengthen intercultural dialogue within host societies. The designation is intended to provide greater visibility for the activities of Muslim communities, counter stereotypes, and promote an atmosphere of mutual respect between host nations and migrant populations.

The Muslim Brotherhood is halfway through its plan to “transform Western society from within” by covertly embedding its allies and ideology on college campuses and in other mainstays of American life, a new report warns. The analysis, published Wednesday by the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy (ISGAP), calls on the US to designate the Islamist group a terror organization to thwart its efforts to penetrate all aspects of American life. “We are now 50 years into the Brotherhood’s 100-year plan to entrench themselves into key institutions in the United States and other Western societies to undermine...

The Council on American-Islamic Relations’s (CAIR) legal arm has filed a lawsuit challenging Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s (R) designation of their group as a “foreign terrorist organization” — a stance at odds with the U.S. government. CAIR is the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights advocacy organization, according to a description on its website. The organization’s legal defense fund and the Muslim Legal Fund of America, a legal advocacy group for Muslims, sued both Abbott and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) on Thursday to prevent the enforcement of Abbott’s designation. “CAIR Legal Defense Fund has successfully sued and defeated Texas...

NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch accepted Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s offer to stay on as top cop when he takes office, The Post has learned — a bridge-building move that comes despite their profound political differences. The highly anticipated appointment fulfills Mamdani’s campaign promise to keep the respected 44-year-old police executive in the prominent role as the far-left candidate looks to ease concerns from the moderate wing of the Democratic Party and Big Apple bigwigs as he builds out his administration.
