It's 6am on December 25, and I’ve just finished Fajr prayer, the first prayer of the day. I hear the quiet scurries of my mum downstairs beginning to prep the food for Christmas Day. I sit in peaceful silence in my room like I do every time after praying. It’s my time between me and God. I look around my room and above my desk, I see pictures of me at 2023 Manchester Pride sporting a T-shirt with ‘Queer, Muslim & Proud’ written on the front. ...I was in Thrace, on the shores of northern Greece when I first heard...

Fahima Noori had big dreams when she graduated from university in Afghanistan. She had studied law, graduated from a midwifery programme and even worked in a mental health clinic. But all that was taken away when the Taliban swept into power in 2021. They banned girls over the age of 12 from getting an education, severely restricted job options for women and recently removed books written by women from universities. For Fahima, the internet was her last lifeline to the outside world. "I recently enrolled in an online university [and] I had hoped to finish my studies and find an...

The guidance – which incredibly points out that it has been allowed in Britain since Henry VIII passed a law enabling him to marry Anne Boleyn's cousin Catherine Howard – says that cousin marriage offers benefits such as 'stronger extended family support systems'. The practice, which is common in the British Pakistani community, has been linked to a greater prevalence of disorders such as cystic fibrosis or sickle cell disease. Figures show that up to 20 per cent of the children treated for congenital problems in cities such as Sheffield, Glasgow and Birmingham are of Pakistani descent, compared with 4...

A Houston youth baseball coach was nearly gunned down earlier this week while kneeling before God with his young players in a senseless crime. As Fox News reported, a coach for the Texas Colts was in a pregame prayer with his players on Sunday when three people fired gunshots in their direction from a nearby pasture. Video of the incident obtained by local news outlets shows the 12-year-old players running to safety while the bullets fly. One adult is struck and collapses to the ground next to home plate.

The Department of War will ask President Donald Trump for final approval to execute the Fort Hood shooter, Nidal Hasan, a DOW official told the Daily Caller News Foundation exclusively. The execution, if approved by Trump, would be the first carried out by the military since 1961. Hasan, a former Army Major and psychiatrist turned radical Islamic terrorist, killed 13 people and wounded 32 others during his notorious rampage on the Army base in 2009. “I am 100 percent committed to ensuring the death penalty is carried out for Nidal Hasan,” Hegseth exclusively told the DCNF. “This savage terrorist deserves...

“Islam is the sword the left is using to slit the throat of America,” Charlie Kirk tweeted. It was typical of the bold incisive rhetoric that terrified and infuriated the Left. And got him killed.It was also the kind of direct truth that few on the right were willing to speak out loud.Charlie Kirk continued to discuss our reporting on the Islamic genocide against Christians at a time when hardly anyone else would. And with his death, one of the most prominent voices still willing to challenge the Islamic invasion of America and its war on the world was silenced.“Did...

Keir Starmer is facing demands from Labour MPs to reprimand Donald Trump’s administration after the US president falsely claimed London wanted to “go to sharia law” under its “terrible mayor”, Sadiq Khan. In an address to the UN general assembly, Trump said: “I look at London, where you have a terrible mayor, terrible, terrible mayor, and it’s been changed, it’s been so changed. Now they want to go to sharia law. But you are in a different country, you can’t do that.” The development will cause further discomfort in No 10 after Trump was last week honoured with an unprecedented...

The Tube no longer feels safe. Violent attacks on the platforms and carriages of the London Underground are soaring. So are theft, harassment and indecent exposure – and, most concerning of all, sexual assault. But instead of stepping up police patrols or increasing the presence of staff, Transport For London [TfL] is dumping the responsibility for safe travel on to the public, its passengers. Like countless others who ride the Tube every day, I have been physically assaulted while using the service – as I shall explain.

The very system he once enforced with an iron fist has turned on one of its own. A former high-ranking official in Iran's Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance has been sentenced to 100 lashes and internal exile after being found "guilty" of homosexual acts. The case has sent shockwaves through the country, highlighting the stark hypocrisy of a regime that imposes draconian laws while its enforcers operate outside of them. Reza Seghati, the former head of the ministry in Gilan province, was a key figure in enforcing Iran's strict dress codes. He was known for his ruthless adherence to...

“For over two centuries, the Home Secretary has safeguarded the nation. Today, we begin a new chapter as we welcome Shabana Mahmood to the Home Office as the new Home Secretary,” the British government announced. It is indeed a new chapter for the Pakistani Muslim politician, who took her oath of office on a Koran and who has now become the highest ranking Muslim in the British government. And a new chapter for Islamic colonialism as seeing the white flag, 1,000 Muslim invaders crossed the Channel and invaded England on Mahmood’s first day at work. ... The Home Secretary is...

Texas governor Greg Abbott has announced a ban on Sharia Law in the state after an imam launched a campaign to pressure Muslim-owned stores to stop selling pork, alcohol and lottery tickets. Imam F. Qasim ibn Ali Khan of Masjid At-Tawhid was seen in a viral video confronting a store employee and accusing the business of selling 'haram' products forbidden under Islamic law. As a response, Abbott said on Tuesday: 'I signed laws that BAN Sharia Law and Sharia Compounds in Texas. No business and no individual should fear fools like this.' The governor also addressed the imam, saying: 'If...

You have 30 days to stop selling alcohol and pork.

Britain’s first female Muslim Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood had a rough start on Saturday, with over 1,000 illegal migrants arriving after crossing the English Channel from France on her first day in office. Mahmood, a former pro-Palestinian activist whose Pakistani parents migrated to England from Mirpur in the disputed Kashmir region, was tasked by Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer on Friday to run the Home Office, the cabinet department tasked with controlling immigration and protecting Britain’s borders. It came amid the forced Downing Street reshuffle sparked by the scandal-induced resignation of former Deputy PM Angela Rayner over the socialist politician’s...

An anniversary is coming soon. One of the lessons from that day was "never forget." We have forgotten.

Most in the West don’t know much about Islam, and what they know is often incorrect. But what about the 72 virgins? Are they real? Do Muslim men believe that after death, they will be rewarded with 72 virgins? The question needs to be addressed, because it has been suggested that there was an incorrect translation, and the men are getting raisins, not virgins. And, perhaps out of envy or jealousy, some claim the virgins are old, ugly, and in constant PMS. So what’s the truth about the 72 virgins? Muslims believe that after they die, they will be admitted...

Leaders of the MAGA movement have a new warning: Don’t let America become like Britain. That was the howling conclusion at a conference of MAGA-aligned policymakers and think tanks this week in Washington, where elite voices, many with close ties to President Donald Trump, painted a dystopian, misleading and anti-Muslim picture of England as a bastion for dangerous immigrants. Stephen K. Bannon, Trump’s former chief of staff who continues to be an influential adviser, decried the “threat of Islamism in the U.K.,” positioning Britain as a cautionary tale of how mass migration could affect the United States. Others called the...

Rep. Rashida Tlaib, the most radical member of the far-left squad, once again put her hatred for America and Israel on full display this weekend. Speaking at the People’s Conference for Palestine, a gathering packed with open Hamas sympathizers. Tlaib delivered a speech dripping with defiance, rage, and vulgarity.

The New York Times is engaged in whitewashing Zohran Mamdani's record as a radical socialist. Presumably, this is because President Trump has been attacking him as a communist, and if there is anything that smells like catnip to a liberal journalist, it is the opportunity to contradict what President Trump says. This is an actual sentence in a news report from The New York Times.Truly insane. pic.twitter.com/agtBmEprVm— Ryan Saavedra (@RealSaavedra) August 31, 2025Mamdani has been calling himself a socialist for as long as he has been a public figure. And not just a "Democratic Socialist," the current buzzword used to...
