The force said it was investigating...

To some extent, Mohamed Hussein knew he was preparing to enter the lion’s den. But he made the decision to attend the Republican Party of Texas Convention to confirm for himself that he had a place in the GOP, even as members of the party have railed for months about the urgency of ending Sharia Law and the so-called “Islamification” of Texas. What he found was a party that didn’t want him. He arrived with hope but left in tears after being told explicitly that he should leave the country. Hussein was among at least four Muslims who arrived at...

This week the United Kingdom's Labor Party's Defense Secretary John Healy resigned, saying "Prime Minister Starmer refuses to ask for enough money to fund the kind of military we need to defend our country in this time of rising threats." Starmer disagreed and pointed out "we are engaged in a transition to what I feel is a necessary pivot from our long-term reliance on the United States to provide our defense. During the 20th century the US came to our aid in two world wars. Then for seven decades defended us from Russian aggression. This enabled us to spend more...

[This is from a peacenick MK , Aryeh Lova Eliav (1921–2010)] Aryeh L. Eliav, The Ladder of Israel: A Dream and Its Breakdown; A Socio-Political Analysis of Israel, Zmora-Bitan-Modan, 1976, pp. 41-44. Let us make a reckoning – a true and terrible reckoning – with those Palestinian Arabs. Not only with the million or more Arabs who are under our rule, but with all of them. All those two and a half million Arabs who call themselves “the Palestinian people” and who are now in the bosom of the Arab world that surrounds us. Since our settlers, the first Zionists,...

The London Borough of Harrow wants you to know it's aware of a video that's gone viral on social media of two Muslim civil enforcement officers turning off their body cameras and threatening to rip a Brit's teeth out and more. Fortunately, the man was wearing Meta glasses with a built-in camera and caught the whole thing on video.

It’s a typical afternoon in Saint-Denis, the narrow streets packed with people whose faces you cannot see. The women move in niqab, shapes without features, eyes that do not meet yours. The shop signs are in Arabic, the smell of cumin and lamb fat rises from every doorway, thick and permanent, as if the street itself has been marinated in another world. From three directions at once, the call to prayer cuts through the air. Al-lahu Akbar. God is great. Come to prayer. Come to salvation. Even the French police do not enter without backup. Ambulances request escorts before responding...

When you are passing judgments on individuals regarding their character, it is not right to judge them based on their immutable characteristics as part of a group. We judge individuals based on who they are and what they do. On the other hand, when you are evaluating a group, it's just as wrong to disaggregate it into individual atoms and claim that there are no group characteristics that are relevant to making a judgment. That's why it is simultaneously true that individuals who are part of some group may be good, and the group as a whole is still harmful....

Unlike many other European countries, Denmark has been pretty restrictive in admitting Muslims into their country. Consequently, these immigrant populations are quite low compared to places like France, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. Also unlike other European countries, Denmark keeps meticulous statistics on the ethnicity of persons who commit serious crimes. These statistics show that disproportionate numbers of offenders are immigrants. In the category of attempted homicide, Somalis are 27 times as likely as Danes to be arrested for this crime, Moroccans and Palestinians are 20 times as likely, Iraqis are 13 times as likely, Pakistanis are 10 times as...

As dawn breaks, hundreds of men gather at a dusty square in Chaghcharan, the capital of Ghor province in Afghanistan. They line the roadside with weary faces, hoping someone will come along offering any work. It will determine whether their families eat that day. The likelihood of success, however, is low. Juma Khan, 45, has found just three days of work in the past six weeks that paid between 150 to 200 Afghani ($2.35-$3.13; £1.76-£2.34) per day. "My children went to bed hungry three nights in a row. My wife was crying, so were my children. So I begged a...

South Carolina’s Lancaster County Council voted unanimously last week to deny a conditional-use permit for a proposed Islamic Mosque and community center in the Indian Land area after angry residents passionately spoke out against it. The rejection came after more than two hours of intense public testimony in which multiple residents warned that the mosque would import Sharia law and represent an ideological takeover incompatible with American values. One resident went viral after she declared, “This is not about a place of worship; this is not about religion; Islam is not a religion, it’s a takeover.” She went on to...

At least eight people were injured Saturday in Modena, Italy when a crazed driver rammed his car into a crowd at full speed — and then knifed a hero who stopped him when he tried to flee following his cowardly act. The man has been identified by authorities as Salim el Koudri, a 31-year-old Italian citizen of Moroccan origin. The motive is not yet known, but a terrorist attack is not being ruled out, Italian newspaper La Pressa reported.

Islamist terrorists have claimed the killing of more than 80 Christians in several armed assaults in north-eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). In the deadliest attack, an estimated 60 “Christian combatants” were killed by fighters from Islamic State Central Africa Province (ISCAP) in a May 5 attack in Beni Territory on the border of North Kivu and Ituri provinces. In recent months, Islamic State propaganda has used the word “combatants” to describe Christians who have refused to accept either conversion to Islam or dhimmi status as subjugated people. In classical Islam, those who accept such a status must pay...

As Pakistan positioned itself as a diplomatic conduit between Tehran and Washington, it quietly allowed Iranian military aircraft to park on its airfields, potentially shielding them from American airstrikes, according to U.S. officials with knowledge of the matter. Iran also sent civilian aircraft to park in neighboring Afghanistan. It was not clear if military aircraft were among those flights, two of the officials told CBS News. Together, the movements reflected an apparent effort to insulate some of Iran's remaining military and aviation assets from the expanding conflict, even as officials publicly served as brokers for de-escalation. The U.S. officials, who...

San Francisco Bay area.. witnessing mounting anti-Israel agitation in the wake of American co-sponsorship of a United Nations Security Council resolution censuring Israel. Mohammed T. Mehdi, director of the Arab Information Center of San Francisco, ... He was asked by a good-hearted Westerner why the Arabs and Jews can't live together in peace.

Lilian McPherson, another non-Jew, writing on the editorial page of the San Jose (Calif.) Mercury said: “One wonders about Dr. Mehdi's...

I’m not a lawyer, and I’ve never played one on TV, so I won’t opine on the legal aspects of this story. However, I can give you my layman’s view, which is that this certainly smells rotten. To wit, a taxpayer-funded water park is holding a big party on June 1, and they’re going to have food, entertainment, and just good ole American fun. The catch: if you’re not Muslim, you’re not invited. No really.
