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....

'Her father had recently been threatening her with honor killing for refusing an arranged marriage with an older man in...

“The Quran gained a popular readership among Protestants both in England and in North America largely out of curiosity,” says Denise A. Spellberg, a history professor at the University of Texas at Austin and author of Thomas Jefferson’s Qu'ran: Islam and the Founders. “But also because people thought of the book as a book of law and a way to understand Muslims with whom they were interacting already pretty consistently, in the Ottoman Empire and in North Africa.” When Jefferson bought his Quran as a law student in 1765, it was probably because of his interest in understanding Ottoman law....

On Wednesday’s “Hugh Hewitt Show,” President Donald Trump discussed nuclear talks with Iran and stated that Iran has to turn over its uranium and either deactivate or destroy their centrifuges or else they will face strikes from the United States.

Former NBA guard Craig Hodges, regarded as one of the league’s premier three-point shooters before Steph Curry, painfully understands his career is defined more by a letter he wrote than his ability to knock down shots. As a star reserve with the Chicago Bulls, Hodges joined his teammates in 1991 for a visit to the White House to celebrate the Bulls’ first NBA Championship with President George H.W. Bush. Hodges, an outspoken advocate for social justice and civil rights during his 10-year NBA career, viewed the trip as an opportunity. Near the end of the celebration, Hodges, dressed in a...

A suspected ISIS member was arrested in connection with the Jan. 1 attack on Bourbon Street that killed 14 people and injured at least 57 others, Iraq's judiciary said Sunday. Following a request from the U.S. for assistance in the investigation, Iraq’s Supreme Judicial Council said the individual “was arrested for inciting the Jan. 2025 truck attack in the United States," according to Al Arabiya News, a Saudi state-owned international Arabic news channel. The unnamed suspect is “a member of the external operations office of the Daesh terrorist organization" — the Arabic acronym for the Islamic State group known ISIS....

NASA updates the UN that it has detected on its radars: "Three unusual heat spots were observed in the Bandar Abbas area. There is concern that an underground nuclear facility in the area may have been damaged."

What began as a typical Easter Sunday at a local playground in Upper Franconia, Germany, quickly descended into chaos and violence, providing a grim illustration of the rising tensions in a country struggling with the consequences of multiculturalism and the mass immigration of individuals from cultures that are often at odds with Western values. In a harrowing incident caught on video and since gone viral on alternative media, a 41-year-old German mother and her newborn baby were brutally assaulted—first by a 12-year-old Syrian girl who attacked the mother’s six-year-old son, and later by the girl’s Islamist mother and older sister...

SPAIN: Gay councilor from the Socialist Party who supports diversity visits kebab shop to show solidarity with the Muslim community, and gets beaten up. What did he expect?

In what many citizens concerned with the survival of Austria as a European nation-state are calling a demographic tipping point, Muslims have now become the largest religious group in Vienna’s compulsory schools, comprising a striking 41.2% of all students across primary, secondary, and vocational education levels. The stark demographic shift has sparked outrage among conservatives and nationally-minded citizens in Austria, with the Freedom Party (FPÖ) warning that the capital is being culturally transformed beyond recognition. “This is no longer immigration. This is displacement,” said Maximilian Weinzierl, national council member and leader of the FPÖ’s youth wing. “41.2% of Muslim students—that’s...

If anyone thought crushing the crime gangs was easy, they'd better think again. This video gives a historical account of crime violence in El Salvador and the attempts by different El Salvador governments to destroy the gangs, which all failed until Bukele came along. Bukele is much tougher and smarter than you think. Another point of interest is Bukele is Palestinian, his dad moved to El Salvador from Palestine and built businesses there including a MacDonald's chain. Nayib Bukele was born in in San Salvador. His father had 6 ”wives” apparently Mexico could learn a lesson or two. Worth watching.

Somali clans proliferate. Sometimes the disputes are about long-standing competition for resources such as grazing land or access to wells for camels and other livestock. But even minor issues can sometimes spark a deadly feud - for example a remark by a politician in the capital. When Geedi reached his small village outside Warsheikh, in the Middle Shabelle region, he did not know that tensions between two Abgal sub-clans were about to boil over. The 45-year-old was shot dead outside his home in November by armed men as part of this long-standing inter-family feud. No-one has been arrested for his...

A wave of Israeli strikes across Gaza on Sunday hit a hospital and other sites, killing at least 21 people, including children, as Israel vowed to expand its security presence in the small coastal strip. The predawn strike on Al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City was the latest of several attacks on northern Gaza’s last major hospital providing critical health care. Hospital director Dr. Fadel Naim said the emergency room, pharmacy and surrounding buildings were severely damaged, affecting over 100 patients and dozens of staff. One patient, a girl, died during the evacuation following an Israeli warning because staff were unable...

Yet another child has been married because of Islamic laws that no one wishes to admit exist, much less counter in any way. The BBC reported Tuesday that “an eight-year-old girl, who had been missing for six months, was found living with a man who said he was her husband.” This man, identified as Sheikh Mahmoud, “initially said he was solely teaching the girl the Quran. But after legal complaints were filed, he changed his statement, saying he had married the girl with her father’s consent.” He did this based on Islamic law: “When asked by the BBC how he...

Prisoners refusing to join radical Islamist gangs are being held in isolation to keep them safe from death threats and attacks. Officers are keeping vulnerable prisoners in segregation units at HMP Frankland in Co Durham to separate them from Islamic extremists, the Times reports. The prison, one of the highest-security jails in Britain, is said to have become so overrun with Islamic gangs that its 'terrorist separation centres', which were built in a bid to stop terrorists from radicalising others, have become defunct. This has caused other prisoners into isolation units as they are believed to be at risk of...

Jihadists are murdering, raping, torturing, kidnapping, enslaving, and, in some instances, burning people alive — across Africa, and now in Syria. Local jihadist organizations go by different names, but the ideology that drives them is the same: Every one of them deeply believes that Allah wants him to wipe the world clean of the kuffar (infidels). More than 16.2 million Christians in Sub-Saharan Africa have been driven from their homes by jihadi violence and conflict, reports the human rights organization Open Doors. Women and girls are abducted, forced into "marriage," forced to convert to Islam, raped, and subjected to forced...

Britain is known for many things. Queues. Bad Weather. Pomp and Ceremony. Empire. Tea tax. But there is a dark cultural problem that threatens to define Britain in the 21st Century. The mass rape of white English Girls by largely Muslim Pakistani gangs more well known as the Grooming Gang Scandal. Despite the fact that hundreds of thousands of girls may have been victims of this horrific and brutal crime, no officials in positions of authority have ever been charged with turning a blind eye and facilitating this great evil. In fact despite nearly 100 court cases prosecuting these gangs,...

I now fear Britain is heading for open sectarian conflict, possibly war, and there’s nothing we can do to stop it. Here’s a snapshot of what I’m hearing. On one night in Westminster, I met someone who argued for voluntary repatriation, two generations back; a Labour activist told me we must “re-educate” Muslims; and Jacob Rees-Mogg, debating me on GB News, said Britain should take “zero” refugees. I spluttered a reply about the good Samaritan and staggered off to bed, confused and depressed. I now fear Britain is heading for open sectarian conflict, possibly war, and there’s nothing we can...
