Palestinian "refugee" in Britain attempted to rape underaged girl

ENGLAND: A Palestinian refugee from Gaza, who arrived claiming to be fleeing a ‘genocide’, was arrested for attempting to rape a 14-year-old girl.

He defends himself: “According to Sharia law, raping a non-Muslim girl is legal. I only follow Allah and Sharia law.”

As told here, a Muslim who identifies as a "palestinian" tried to rape a 14-year-old girl in Britain, and he blatantly used the Islamic koran to defend his behavior. This abominable incident must serve as a lesson that the koran isn't just built on antisemitism. It's also built on misogyny and racism. Yet the government of Kier Starmer sees fit to import such monsters into their territory, and doesn't demand any other countries in places like north Africa that are Muslim (but shouldn't be) take them in instead. Just absolutely disgusting.

The Muslim Brotherhood has an agent in the Ohio assembly

Benjamin Baird reminds everybody that the Muslim Brotherhood, which the Trump administration's identified as a terrorist organization, has agents in USA politics, with one disturbing example being a Democrat representative of Columbus, Ohio:

In a highly anticipated move, the Trump administration designated factions of the global Muslim Brotherhood as terrorist organizations last month, an executive action with profound implications extending beyond the Middle East to America’s heartland. Astonishingly, a Somali-American legislator from Ohio, State Rep. Munira Abdullahi, D-Columbus, continues to serve as a national leader for the Muslim American Society (MAS), a registered nonprofit that federal prosecutors have identified as the “overt arm of the Muslim Brotherhood in America.”

Abdullahi’s involvement with MAS dates back to at least 2012, when she served as a youth director in Columbus and later as a national program director. The organization’s youth programs have been marred by scandals nationwide, including an incident in Philadelphia where children were taught songs about beheading Israeli Jews, and a fundraiser selling merchandise glorifying Hamas and Hezbollah terrorists. Upon her election to public office in 2022, Abdullahi appeared to distance herself from MAS, updating her LinkedIn profile to indicate she no longer worked for the group.

However, her ties persisted and deepened. Now heading MAS-Columbus and part of the organization’s national leadership, she leverages her elected status to host events featuring ultra-conservative preachers and pro-Hamas activists. Though MAS officially claims independence from the broader Sunni Islamist movement, a 2004 Chicago Tribune investigation exposed how its early leaders decided to conceal their Muslim Brotherhood affiliations while aiming to “convert Americans to Islam and elect like-minded Muslims to political office.”

Campaign finance records underscore this connection: in 2022, Abdullahi received a $1,000 contribution from an MAS colleague and later donated $2,400 from her campaign to MAS-Columbus.

I'd written about this Abdullahi myself in the past 4 years, and it's clear she doesn't belong in politics anywhere. It remains to be seen if the Trump administration will take any action against her and other such interlopers who don't belong in the USA or any other civilized country.

An upcoming Congressional hearing on banning sharia in the USA

Janet Levy talks about an upcoming panel in Congress on banning Islamic sharia in the USA:

Whenever patriots rise to defend America from radical Islam, liberals dismiss them as alarmist or Islamophobic. Therefore, criticism is likely to increase after the February 10th Sharia Free America hearings of the House Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government. But not only is the threat real, it also grows stronger from apologists who insist that Islam is a religion of peace, even though Islamist groups openly swear by its medieval tenets of world conquest.

Fortunately, many House Republicans are standing against this growing threat. In less than a month, 26 representatives from 17 states have joined the Sharia-Free America Caucus, led by Representatives Keith Self (R-TX-3) and Chip Roy (R-TX-21). Their goal is to protect the Constitution and defend individual freedoms and the American way of life by passing laws to prevent sharia from invading our civic life and courts.

Read more. This is something that must also be taken to Europe, Africa, Asia and even Latin America, because who knows how much horrific influence of the Religion of Peace can be found in any part there? The time's come to deal with this properly, and the House hearings are just the beginning of what's needed.

UK Labour party defends having sharia courts operating in the country

Britain's Labour party, in charge of the government now, is defending the establishment of parallel legal systems on their soil:

The Labour Party government has argued that allowing Sharia courts to operate in the United Kingdom is a fundamental “British value” and has refused to distance itself from a broad stroke definition of so-called Islamophobia, which critics say would brand discussions around Muslim child rape grooming gangs as potentially illegally racist.

Pressed on Tuesday in the House of Commons by Reform UK’s Sarah Pochin as to whether the government supported the existence of Sharia courts in the UK, Minister of State for Courts and Legal Services, Sarah Sackman, unequivocally backed their right to operate.

The Labour MP for Finchley and Golders Green said: “Sharia law forms no part of the law of England and Wales but in common with Christian, Jewish, and other courts of faith where people choose to put themselves before those councils, that’s part of the religious tolerance that is an important British value.”

However, critics have noted that unlike local Jewish courts, most Sharia councils in the UK have refused to sign the Arbitration Act of 1996, meaning that there is little to no oversight on how they function or provide recourse to those subjected to their rulings.

According to The Telegraph, there are as many as 85 Sharia courts dotted across Britain. The councils, headed up by local Islamic men, often arbitrate divorces or other civil matters such as inheritance disputes.

Some have warned that they fundamentally undermine British family law by creating a parallel legal structure and perpetuate Islamic inequalities such as in the case of women or homosexuals.

One woman who gave testimony to a 2018 Home Office report claimed that the Imams on the Sharia court had attempted to force her to return to her violent and sexually abusive husband.

“These Imams just don’t listen – they try and force you back to your husband no matter what, and feel they have the right to disturb your life,” she said.

Southall Black Sisters, a domestic abuse treatment centre in Southall, England, also told the report that such courts are “often corrupt, primarily interested in making money and abusing their positions of power.”

The charity said that Sharia courts act as “money-making schemes” and often demand exorbitant fees, saying that some women are told that they need to pay their husbands thousands to obtain a Muslim divorce certificate from the council.

And yet the leftists in Britain are okay with such barbarism. One of the most offensive parts of this whole catastrophe is how they act like, because Islam is supposedly a monotheist religion, that actually makes it legitimate. Yet these same thugs also take bizarrely condescending views of other religions less monotheistic, like Shintoism and Confucianism, no matter what values they offer. It's shameful how monotheism has been exploited as a means of validating the awful, and now it's costing the UK big time.

In New York, "Muhammed" is becoming the most popular name for boys

Just like in many other parts of the world where Muslims are heavily entrenched. Daniel Greenfield explains all this, along with how Zohran Mamdani's reached such a high position that could lead to his ascension to city hall:

In 2023, Mohammed made its appearance on the list of the top 10 most popular names for boys in New York City. Anyone paying attention to this seemingly minor statistic could have predicted the emergence of Zohran Mamdani as the Democrat nominee in the upcoming mayoral election.

Mohammed had appeared as the sixth most common baby among ‘Asians’ in New York City in 2013. By 2017, the name of the genocidal warlord of Islam had become the most common baby name among ‘Asians’ in the city. The rapid growth showed the power of demographics.

Nearly 300 Mohammeds (under various spellings) were born in New York City in 2021 accompanied by over 150 Ahmeds, and dozens of Alis, Omars, Adnans and many others.

The Muslim population of New York City is still undetermined. While Islamist groups claim that there are over 1 million Muslims, they tend to exaggerate to build up their influence, but a Pew survey estimated Muslim settlers as making up 3% of the population of New York City.

Mamdani only won the votes of 5% of the population of New York City. That’s within 2% of the estimated Muslim population of the city. Whatever the actual size of the Muslim population of the city may be, it was more than enough to make the difference in a mayoral primary that few New Yorkers bothered to vote in because they found all the candidates repugnant even while mosques successfully turned out the bloc vote to rig an election for their candidate.

Mamdani was not a popular candidate, but he toured the city’s mosques and told the members of one Hamas-supporting mosque that this is “an opportunity — to tell the world that Muslims don’t just belong in New York City but that we belong in City Hall.”

That message, delivered in a mosque, combined tribal nationalism and Islamism.

How many mosques are there in the city? There were 285 in 2015. Some current estimates place the number at over 500 now. While Islamist groups do build mosques that they don’t need and can’t fill in order to build up influence with projects like the Ground Zero Mosque and other mosques in Manhattan (which unlike Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx, does not have a significant Muslim population below 125th Street) they reflect a growing Muslim population.

The vast majority of that growth happened after 9/11. The old Arab Muslim population which cheered on the rooftops after the September 11 attacks and was responsible for pre 9/11 terrorist attacks like the World Trade Center bombing mainly lived in New Jersey and parts of Brooklyn are a minority now with the massive influx of Pakistanis, Bangladeshis and other Muslims from the vicinity of India colonizing the city.

No doubt, we have George W. Bush and other cowards claiming to be conservative to blame for all the immigration of ummah followers to NYC. Now, there's no telling how we'll be able to turn around a bad situation that's only rewarded the jihadists who committed the 911 attacks in the long run, and desecrated the memory of the victims at the World Trade Center.

Muslim Brotherhood infiltration in France may go back at least 70 years

The French government is looking to ban having girls younger than 15 wear Islamic veils in public, after a chilling report about Muslim Brotherhood infiltration that spans as far back as 70 years:

French President Emmanuel Macron’s political party has called for a ban on young girls wearing Islamic veils in public and a new law against “Islamist entryism” after a bombshell government report found that the Muslim Brotherhood has waged a multi-generational campaign to infiltrate institutions and control Islamic communities in service of instituing Sharia law to the West.

Former French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal, who leads President Macron’s Renaissance party in the National Assembly, proposed on Wednesday that the ban on wearing veils in public be extended to girls under the age of 15. France became the first European country to impose such a ban for adults in 2011.

However, Attal argued that the government must go further in the wake of the publication of a government report, which found that the Islamist Muslim Brotherhood has sought for at least seven decades to subvert France and other European nations through clandestinely entering institutions and taking control over various facets of Muslim communities to promote Sharia practices to Islamise the West.

According to the report, the movement has seized upon supposed social justice campaigns through its various Muslim association proxies against “Islamophobia” — a term coined by the Muslim Brotherhood — and the veil ban to create a veneer of legitimacy in public discourse and to rally Muslim communities to their cause.

Meanwhile, local arms of the Brotherhood, in which trained Islamist activists are installed as managers at community shops, sports groups, private education, financial services, dating sites and elsewhere, have been established to control all aspects of life within Islamic communities and enforce strict Muslim practices, such as forcing the veil on women and girls.

The report found that this has resulted in a “massive and visible increase in little girls wearing the veil”, including girls as young as five or six years old, who are described as the “baby lion cubs” of radical Islam in France.

Thus, the Macronist party has called for fresh legislation to make “an offence of coercion to wear the veil against parents who force their minor daughters to wear the veil,” which they argue contravenes gender equality and child protection principles, Le Figaro reports.

While this is important news, it's a terrible shame Macron himself is undermining efforts to enforce safety for youngsters by attacking Israel over its army campaign in Gaza (as are the UK and Canada), because all that does is send a message to Islamofascists that the French government isn't really serious about their objections. Exactly why somebody needs to tell Macron this is just as unacceptable as Islamofascism in France's area too.

Hezbollah overlord obliterated

The IDF just scored a most vital victory in the war against Hezbollah in Lebanon, eliminating Hassan Nasrallah, the overlord of the terrorist organization:

On Friday afternoon, shortly before Shabbat, the IDF conducted a precise strike, eliminating Hezbollah's leader, Hassan Nasrallah, IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi confirmed.

The strike took place in Hezbollah’s underground headquarters in the heart of Beirut, along with other senior officials in the terrorist organization.

Halevi stressed, "Nasrallah indiscriminately murdered Israeli civilians and aimed to end this war with the destruction of the State of Israel. We made sure that did not occur. We eliminated him, and we will continue to grow stronger."

He added, "Hezbollah has murdered innocent people worldwide, hiding his weapons under the homes of families, women and children and turning them into human shields."

"As we have shown, we will not allow such a threat to our citizens! We are determined to continue destroying the Hezbollah terrorist organization and to keep fighting. We have more missions ahead on all fronts—destroying terrorist organizations and their capabilities, returning our hostages—the mission is constantly before our eyes! As well as the safe return of the residents in the north and south to their homes.

"This week, the year comes to an end—a year where IDF commanders and soldiers fight bravely and work to put an end to the hardships of the past. The IDF stands with the bereaved families. We will continue to honor the path of the fallen.

"With the fighting spirit and resilience of the entire nation, the IDF will continue to safeguard our security!”

One of the IDF's spokesmen told CNN it's disturbing how the USA government under Joe Biden/Kamala Harris called for ceasefires when Israel began taking defensive action:

On Saturday’s “CNN This Morning,” IDF Spokesman Maj. Doron Spielman responded to frustration from the White House with Israel over ceasefires by stating that “for an entire year, Hezbollah has been firing rockets, over 9,000 rockets, missiles, and killer drones and no one talked about a ceasefire. Now that Israel’s actually taking the assertion to try to protect its civilians, we’re calling for a ceasefire.” And stated that “the world, instead of demanding [that Israel have] a ceasefire, should be demanding that Hezbollah pull out.” [...]

Spielman answered, “I can tell you, Jim, that the last year has been the greatest challenge in Israel’s history. We are threatened by seven different fronts, the Houthis in Yemen, Hezbollah in the north, Hamas in Gaza, and that’s just to name a few. This is the hour that Israel will look back and the world will look back and say, who stands by Israel in this hour? And the U.S., I’m not a politician, I’m here on behalf of the Army, has been the greatest friend and has supported Israel and understands our objectives. Regarding a ceasefire, for an entire year, Hezbollah has been firing rockets, over 9,000 rockets, missiles, and killer drones and no one talked about a ceasefire. Now that Israel’s actually taking the assertion to try to protect its civilians, we’re calling for a ceasefire. As we’ve said, and as the Israeli Army says, we’re open for anything as long as Israeli civilians can go back to their home[s] and Hezbollah withdraws behind the Litani. What we know is that, right now, Hezbollah, every one of those rockets and missiles is inside one of their own homes, they’re civilian homes. You’ve seen the pictures. They don’t care about Lebanese civilians. They don’t care about Israeli civilians. And the world, instead of demanding [that Israel have] a ceasefire, should be demanding that Hezbollah pull out.”

It's truly reprehensible that anybody would call for an ambiguous "ceasefire", when it's only meant to undermine efforts to defeat the evil entity that even Ronald Reagan and George Bush Sr. have to shoulder blame for allowing to take over Lebanon, all at the expense of Christians and other innocent and defenseless inhabitants of the area. I'm not letting them off the hook any more than say, Jimmy Carter, whose own damage when it comes to Iran cannot be overlooked either.

Benjamin Netanyahu approved the strike against Hezbollah from a USA hotel room:

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu approved Friday’s airstrike on Hezbollah’s headquarters in Beirut, Lebanon, from his hotel room in New York City prior to his speech to the United Nations General Assembly.

The Prime Minister’s Office released a photograph that it said showed Netanyahu approving the massive airstrike.

The massive attack targeted Hezbollah’s underground headquarters in the Dahiyeh neighborhood of Beirut.

Netanyahu apparently delivered his address knowing that the attack was under way. He cut short a press conference after the speech when a military aide whispered in his ear.

The UN is a disgrace, as he also pointed out. It's long overdue to get rid of Hezbollah as much as Hamas, and the PLO must also go. Mahmoud Abbas is one of the worst bigots around, and he alone makes clear what's wrong with them as well.

Humza Yousaf resigns as Scotland's first minister

Some thankful news coming from Scotland, as the first Muslim to serve as premier at the north end of the UK is resigning, following controversial leftist policies that only caused a lot of justified outrage:

Humza Yousaf, Scotland’s first minister, resigned on Monday after just 13 months in office following a series of muddled progressive policies that culminated in him torpedoing his own governing coalition.

Yousaf, who became the first Muslim leader of a Western democracy, stepped down on Monday after his decision to rip up an agreement between his Scottish National Party and the Green Party, known as the Bute House Agreement, cost him a working majority.

[...] In the aftermath of Yousaf’s decision, a vote of no confidence was called for this week. And although he gave no indications he would resign last Friday, he changed his mind over the weekend.

[...] He became leader of the SNP and first minister in March 2023 after longtime party leader Nicola Sturgeon stepped down. Her resignation came during a police investigation into alleged misuse of campaign funds. Her husband, former SNP treasurer Peter Murrell, was charged with embezzlement earlier this month, while Sturgeon herself was questioned and released without charge last year. Both deny any wrongdoing.

Yousaf’s short-lived tenure will be remembered, however, for controversial legislation that would make it easier for people to change their gender, which was at odds with the Conservative-led Westminster government.

His party also introduced a hate crime law that made transgender identity a protected characteristic. The law generated criticism from the likes of Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, who lives in Edinburgh, and even X owner Elon Musk.

In the end, Yousaf’s tenure was made untenable after he scrapped the Bute deal with the Greens over climate change policy disagreements.

Douglas Ross, the leader of the Scottish Conservatives who tabled the motion of no confidence, told STV that Yousaf was “forced … out of office for repeatedly failing Scotland.”

Not mentioned, and likely because these papers have regrettably succumbed to PC, is that Yousaf's policies would doubtless be employed in the future to enforce Islamic sharia, and not just LGBT ideology. Admittedly, it's interesting that an Islamist would approve of something like that, but surely because most Muslims couldn't give a damn if transsexuality ends up hurting "kuffar", so long as Muslims aren't affected.

Yousaf's departure from the role of First Minister in Scotland is most fortunate, and now, we must hope better yet, that the conservative party in Scotland will be able to win an election, if one is to be held soon.

Muslim no-go zones turning up in Philadelphia

A writer living in Philadelphia warns that what began in Europe is now turning up in the USA, and in the city where I was born:

What appeared to be an unsettling foreign problem has jumped the Atlantic, invading America with a concomitant rise in anti-Semitism, personal attacks on American Jews and synagogues, and has resulted in a dangerous foothold in many American cities, with accompanying thuggish, disruptive behavior. Recent examples are the pro-Palestinian demonstration in St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York City, and the two nights of vandalism at a prominent synagogue (where the author is a congregant) in the Main Line outside of Philadelphia.

It would be prudent for all Americans to remember that Muslims attacking Jews is just their first step. The real goal is Islamic global hegemony. One only has to inspect the myriad extant Muslim countries to confirm that not only are they devoid of Jews, not many Christians remain either.

A phenomenon known as Islamic controlled “no go” zones is steadily growing in Philadelphia. A stealth and increasingly overt Islamic takeover is occurring in Philadelphia and suburban area public school systems, libraries, and universities. The area was shocked when it popped out into the open with the University of Pennsylvania’s Palestinian Writes symposium which was an anti-Israel advertisement disguised as a literary symposium. This takeover includes pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel/anti-Semitic rhetoric.

According to the writer, these Islamists have even been doing prayers on the street by City Hall. And mayoral incumbent Cherelle Parker is fine with that? This is terrible, and another sign of the bad omens to come, even in a city where, from what I know, the Democrats minding the store are even allowing sanctuary for illegal immigrants, whom you can be sure include plenty from Muslim countries. Philly is tragically falling victim to evil in more ways than one.

SHARI'A IN THE UK

The Islamification of the UK continues apace, and even non-Muslims are voluntarily submitting to shari'a law:

UK: INTERFAITH GROUP PROPOSES SHARI'A LAW FOR ALL WOMEN

You read that title correctly: for ALL women.

From Creeping Sharia, citing this source:

An academic expert in Muslim Sharia law is holding a presentation on the subject for women in Melksham later this month.

Amra Bone, who has worked as a lecturer in Islamic studies, will hold a presentation introducing Sharia law and in particular Sharia family law, for women of all faiths and backgrounds...

Shari'a law for women, is a barbaric throwback to total misogyny: beheadings, stonings, etc.

How can the West be putting up with this subversive crap?

POLYGAMY IN ONTARIO

Via Dhimmi Watch and from this source:

It’s an issue the Liberal govenrment of Ontario, led by Premier Dalton McGuinty, doesn’t want to deal with — polygamy in the Muslim community. Last week the Toronto Star told the story of Safa Rigby, a 35-year-old mother of five children who recently learned her husband of 14 years had two other wives. Ms. Rigby’s life is in tatters. She followed her husband’s advice that she leave Toronto and live in Egypt for a year on the grounds that it would be better for their children to spend more time in a Muslim country. Now she knows it was a ruse. He used her time there to marry two other women.

Ms. Rigby does not support polygamy, which has been illegal in Canada for more than a century. But Toronto Imam Aly Hindy, who runs the Toronto Salahuddin Islamic Centre, does. He married Ms. Rigby’s husband knowing he already had a wife and counselled him to keep the marriage secret from Ms. Rigby for as long as possible. Hindy has by his own admission performed 30 ceremonies in which men were married who already had wives. When Ms. Rigby confronted Hindy his response was reportedly cold and unsympathetic: “You will have to stand beside him in these difficult times,” Hindy told her. “You should stop causing problems to (sic) him. You will not get anything by divorce except destroying your life” he went on to say.

For Hindy this is not about Ms. Rigby or her husband’s desire to marry another woman — but making a broader political point.

Hindy is using polygamy as a proxy for his fundamentalist version of Islam, something he wants to see legitimized in Canadian society as a whole.

Western nations have a decision to make: sticking by Western law and principles or bowing to shari'a law. Which will it be?

MORE CREEPING SHARIA IN THE UK

Right now - in the UK - sharia is making major headway in finance, hotels, and the insurance industry... but what's next???

ACCOUNTANCY MAGAZINE:

Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury, caused a furore recently when he said some aspects of Sharia law were ‘unavoidable’ in the UK.

Only time will tell whether that is the case, but what is happening quietly in the bowels of the City of London is the rise of Sharia - or Islamic – finance.

It is not that the moneymen have had a religious conversion. Rather, there is the realisation that there is profit to be made from in the Middle East and south-east Asia from massive infrastructure projects fuelled by oil-driven financial liquidity.

...The last few years have seen an explosion in Islamic finance in the UK. In 2004 the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development saw the establishment of the Islamic Bank of Britain, the first wholly Islamic retail bank. This was followed in 2006 by the European Islamic Investment Bank.

Both HSBC and Lloyds TSB have expanded their Islamic finance in the UK.

Even CIMA recently launched a Certificate in Islamic Finance. It offers ‘comprehensive skills’ in areas including Sharia compliance and ‘the complexities of the contracts that underpin this compliance’.

CIMA’s John Willsdon, who runs the course, said: ‘Islamic finance has caught the imagination of a great many people across the world. There is no doubt that the oil wealth amassed in the Middle East and South East Asia has given a tremendous impetus to this relatively new niche in the market.’

Since the launch in December last year, more than 50 students from 13 countries have studied for the certificate.

TRAVEL MOLE:

The Islamic hospitality market, or Sharia-compliant hotels, is pegged to be one of the fastest growing hospitality segments, according to Jonathan Worsley conference co-organiser, Arabian Hotel Investment Conference (AHIC).

He said that Dubai-based hospitality group Almulla Hospitality, has recently launched its Sharia-compliant hotel portfolio, comprising three brand tiers.

The group has also cited plans to target development in Saudi Arabia, UAE, Jordan, Egypt and Malaysia in the first instance, with Thailand and Europe following closely behind.

“Almulla joins other UAE-based players including Shaza Hotels from Kempinski and Tamani Hotels & Suites from KM Group among others,” he said.

Rotana too has tickled the sector recently launching Rayhaan Hotels & Resorts with an offer-specific ‘no-alcohol’ label.

Almulla Hospitality’s chairman, Abdulla Almulla, said that the demand for Sharia-compliant accommodation is on the increase and represents 10 per cent of the world tourism market.

DATAMONITOR: Principle Insurance: a newly FSA authorized Sharia compliant insurer

The FSA has authorized the UK's first independent takaful insurer, Principle Insurance.

Principle Insurance has become the UK's first Sharia compliant independent insurance company to be formally authorized by the FSA. The insurer will operate in accordance with Islamic laws, through which it will target the UK's estimated two million Muslims in the home and motor markets. In this way, the company is demonstrating a different approach to segmenting the insurance markets.

The FSA has given formal authorization for Principle Insurance to operate as an insurance company in the UK. The company will trade in compliance with Sharia Islamic laws in regards to financial services, which prevent accruing interest and some forms of investment. As such, Principle Insurance will operate along the lines of typical cooperative mutual insurers already present in the market.

While the insurer is not the first in the UK market with a Sharia compliant offering - HSBC already markets takaful insurance products - it is the first independent company set up to be fully compliant with Islamic law in the UK.
