German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s policies on immigration have been “fatal” to Germany, the countries former top domestic intelligence chief has said.
Hans-Georg Maassen, the former head of the Office for the Protection of the Constitution (BfV), roughly the equivalent to Britain’s MI5 or the FBI in the United States, ran the German intelligence for six years, including during the height of the European migrant crisis in 2015.
Maassen, is currently running as a candidate for the German parliament, the Bundestag, under Angela Merkel’s supposedly centre-right Christian Democrat Union (CDU).
In an interview with The Times of London , the former spy chief said that the German people could not understand the “fatal migration policies” taken by Merkel, which allowed some 1.2 million migrants into the country.
“[Germans] simply cannot understand why ever more people are coming into this country even though they obviously have no right to asylum; why we aren’t deporting them and why politicians just put up with the fact that the people here are falling victim to these migrants,” Maassen said.
He said that under Merkel’s leadership, the CDU as a party has “clearly taken a lot of damage,” explaining: “It’s become a club for electing the Chancellor under the slogan ‘We want Merkel re-elected’, but the actual political and programmatic substance is gone.”
While he described Merkel, 66, as a “strong-willed woman and a top political performer” and praised her role in the eurozone financial crisis, he said the country had taken several painfully wrong turns.
“I just think it’s a shame that we are falling far below our potential in Germany,” he said. “I have the impression that many people have made their peace with the fact that we are declining ever further politically and economically.”
Last August, Chancellor Merkel said that she would “make essentially the same decisions ” when questioned if she regretted the decision to open Europe’s doors to mass migration.
The result of her open borders policies has been a massive demographic shift in Germany, with some 26 per cent of the population, or 21.2 million people , now classified as being of a “migrant background”, meaning that they are either migrants themselves or had at least one parent who was born in another country.
It is expected that at least one-third of the population of Germany will have foreign backgrounds by 2040, with major cities likely to see as much as 70 per cent of their population having migrant backgrounds.
With Angela Merkel stepping down from her reign as Chancellor later this year, the future of her party remains in question, with more right-leaning candidates such as Hans-Georg Maassen gaining ground within the CDU.
Maassen was forced out of his role as the leader of the Office for the Protection of the Constitution after it was alleged that he had “far-right ” sympathies following his questioning the veracity of videos posted online that allegedly showed migrants being chased through the city of Chemnitz by right-wing extremists, despite evidence to the contrary.
Mr Maassen has denied that he has far-right beliefs, saying that he sees himself as a “fighter for the liberal democratic basic order itself, for a liberal constitutional state.”
“What is happening in this country worries me—that we are slipping into an authoritarian state, into a state-sponsored cowardice, he told the left-wing Telos magazine last week.
“I want people to notice where we are going and to become citizens, not subjects who are wards of the state that provides them with everything they need to live. Many people have lost the ability to lead a self-determined life, to take risks,” Maasen said.

Swedish Populist Leader Claims Country Is In ‘War-Like State’
CHRIS TOMLINSON
Leader of the populist Sweden Democrats (SD) Jimmie Åkesson has claimed Sweden is in a “war-like state” and that the socialist government has “imported” crime and unemployment.
Åkesson blames the Swedish government’s immigration policy for the surge in crime just over a week after a report was published by the Crime Prevention Council, Brå, which noted Sweden topped 22 other European countries for fatal gun violence.
“Parts of Sweden are currently in a war-like state. Streets and squares have been left in the hands of criminal gangs. Shootings, murders and revenge are dictated by clan leaders,” Åkesson said in an opinion article for news website Nyheter Idag.
“Families are forced to live in residential areas where insecurity is constantly present. Sweden has transformed from a stable welfare democracy into a country of division and insecurity,” he added. and claimed that during a recent clan gang conflict in Hjällbo, Swedish authorities stopped clan members from Germany at the border who allegedly wanted to take part in the violence.
“Hand grenades, bombings, automatic fire, gang wars, clan structures, parallel societies, terrorism and serious criminal children. All new elements in the Image of Sweden. A view of Sweden that no one over the age of 20 recognizes,” Åkesson said.
The SD leader also noted the large unemployment rate among migrants compared to the native Swedish population, stating that as many as 675,000 people with migration backgrounds in Sweden were unable to support themselves.
According to Åkesson, his party is ready to make “tough demands” of migrants, saying: “Those who have made it here must adapt, whether they like it or not, otherwise, they will never become part of our society. We, therefore, want to link welfare and other benefits to citizenship, while at the same time raising the requirements for becoming citizens.”
“Sweden must return to its roots. Back to a situation where hardness, respect and a genuine willingness to do the right thing are rewarded. Those who do not understand the importance of these values simply have to face the consequences. The limit of what Sweden can tolerate has long been crossed,” he said.
The anti-mass migration stance of Åkesson is a reiteration of policies his party has supported for several years and has seen surges in popularity, particularly in early 2020 when polls showed the SD to be the most popular party in the country.
Since then, however, the party has dropped into third place behind the ruling Social Democrats and the “centre-right” Moderates, with a May poll from IPSOS putting the party at 20 per cent.

THE MUSLIMS WILL DESTROY EUROPE AS THE MEXICANS ARE MEXIFORNIA AND THE REST OF AMERICA. IT IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THERE IS A QUEST FOR 'CHEAP' FOREIGN LABOR.
PUSH 2 FOR ENGLISH.
The Islamification of large parts of England
By Andrea Widburg
I n 1981–1982, for my junior year abroad, I attended Leeds University in Leeds, a city in Yorkshire, up in the north of England. At the time, being there was tremendously satisfying because, while southern England was then a very international (and tourist-ridden) region, Leeds was still extremely British, as was the surrounding countryside. By 2004, though, while in Florida, I met a woman from Leeds who told me that large parts of Yorkshire had come under Muslim control. A new book reveals that, in the ensuing 17 years, it's only become worse.
Ed Husain, a former Muslim radical who is now a professor at Georgetown University, traveled across England to find out just how much Islamification has occurred in the country that provided the template for American liberties. What Husain found is disheartening, especially in the north of England, where Islam took root while London ignored it.
Bradford, for example, is a former industrial hub about 25 minutes east of Leeds. It was a quintessentially English manufacturing city during the Industrial Revolution. Now, though, as Husain described to the Daily Mail , it's becoming a hard-line Islamic city:
In nearby Bradford, Ed was amazed by the lack of white English people in the city, and asked a Muslim taxi driver 'where they are'.
He was told they had all 'gone with the wind.'
According to the author, there were mosques 'on almost every corner', with Ed writing: 'Then there are houses that also serve as mosques and madrasas , banners affixed to their façades.'
[snip]
After visiting an Islamic bookstore he discovered works glorifying violent jihad by Sayyid Qutb, the Egyptian godfather of Islamist terror and an acknowledged influence on Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda.
He spoke to the director of a local theatre company dedicated to helping disabled children and those with special educational needs, Louise Denham, about how the communities could come together.
But she was pessimistic, and warned that Bradford could become 'an apartheid city' within 30 years.
She predicted: 'There'll be more pushback against diversity. We'll have parties like Nazi Germany organising against the immigrant and Muslim populations.'
Ed concluded that while the community was physically in Britain, they are mentally living elsewhere.
And so it goes, according to Husain, in one formerly very British community after another. Just as the French have ceded the banlieues around Paris to Muslims who fail to assimilate, and Sweden is struggling with the unassimilated Muslim community in Malmö, England has allowed large swaths of the country to become entirely Islamic.
England is a country that could once boast that it was last invaded in 1066. After that, it repulsed the Spanish in 1588, Napoleon in the early 19th century, and Hitler during WWII. Beginning in the 1990s, though, it willingly invited in a community that will soon overtake it in demographics and in fanatic vigor. Ironically, the only other faith group that has some life in it in England is Catholicism, thanks to the central European immigrants who also came in the 1990s. Henry VIII and Cromwell are rolling in their graves, but Mary Tudor is doing fist pumps in Heaven.
This story matters to me because it saddens me to see the country that was the cradle of American liberties (the Founders got their ideas from England , although they created a better system via the Constitution), and that had a rich and beautiful culture, slowly turn into a Pakistani backwater. It also saddens me because my British friends are frightened. Their communities are dangerous, and they are targets.
This should also frighten you because we are following in England's wake. Biden's illegal and unconstitutional actions to erase the southern border and flood America, not just with illegal aliens from Latin America, but from a variety of countries, many of them Muslim , when combined with the Democrat party's aggressive efforts to create racial schisms in America, means we are also starting down the path to becoming a third-world apartheid country rather than a tolerant, pluralist, constitutional nation.

UK: Over Half of Pakistani-Heritage Women Being in Cousin Marriages Raising Birth Defects, Deaths
A majority of marriages in Britain’s Pakistani community being between first cousins is wreaking a terrible toll on public health, with stillbirths, birth defects, and disabilities far higher than they would otherwise be.
In an article published by the Daily Mail , journalist Sue Reid described how an estimated 55 per cent of Pakistani-heritage couples are first cousins in so-called consanguineous marriages.
Not coincidentally, British Pakistanis account for an astonishing 33 per cent of birth defects in the country — far, far in excess of the proportion of births they account for overall, according to Reid.
Indeed, places in England with very large South Asian heritage populations, such as multicultural Bradford, appear to be paying a heavy price for the practice, with doctors in one study identifying some 140 different gene disorders among local youngsters, against only 20-30 among the general population.
Reid also highlighted the fact that stillbirths and infant deaths in the city are approaching double the national average, and many case studies of people with debilitating — and presumably costly, for Britain’s taxpayer-funded National Health Service — illnesses resulting from their parentage.
Breitbart London reported back in 2017 that in Redbridge, a multicultural borough in Britain’s hyper-diverse capital, almost one-in-five child deaths since 2008 were attributable to their parents being close relatives, with “chromosomal, genetic or congenital abnormalities” being a leading cause of death.
“The first duty of a Government is to protect its citizens from harm. There is a strong argument, down the road, for it to consider whether first-cousin unions should be outlawed in the same way as incest is,” suggested Nazir Afzal, a prosecutor turned pundit who the media has often turned to for comment on the topic of now-rarely covered majority-Muslim rape gangs in the past.
“We are tired of burying our babies,” suggested Afzal, whose own parents hail from Pakistan, adding that it is time “to follow the science and act to save lives” — although in truth it appears as though the problem is one of the Pakistani community’s own making, with the British government only culpable insofar as it has done nothing to prevent the Pakistani community from indulging its collective penchant for first cousin marriages, which are in modern times well outside the norm for the native population and socially discouraged.
Afzal, a practising Muslim, said that in his view the popularity of first cousin marriages among Pakistanis in Britain is down to greed, not religion.
‘They are arranged for material reasons, not because of religion. Families don’t want to risk their gold by allowing their child to marry an outsider,” he said.
“Some brothers betroth their boy or girl at birth to each other. Where is the choice of partner for their adult child?” he demanded.

Antisemitic Incidents Reach Record High in the UK: Report JUSTIN TALLIS/AFP via Getty Images
KURT ZINDULKA
The number of antisemitic incidents in the UK has “surpassed anything we have seen before”, according to a leading Jewish charity.
The Community Security Trust (CST) recorded 351 antisemitic incidents between May 8th and the 31st. This three-week figure is higher than in any month as a whole since records began, the Jewish charity said.
The previous record for antisemitic incidents in Britain was in July of 2014, when 317 were recorded. In both instances, the escalations were linked to increased tension between Israel and Palestinian terror group Hamas.
The Campaign Against Antisemitism told the Press Association that the incidents recorded in May included physical attacks on Jewish people, antisemitic placards and chants witnessed at political protests, social media posts, and threats against Jewish children at schools.
A spokesman for the organisation said: “None of these should be features of life in Britain in 2021, but they are for Jewish people.
“Ultimately, the blame lies with the racist perpetrators of these cowardly incidents. But some politicians, the media, social media companies and others have done their part in tolerating or even stoking the hate.
“It is vital that the police investigate incidents as they arise and bring offenders to justice.
“In a year defined by solidarity against racism worldwide, it is extraordinary how little support there is out there for Britain’s Jews. Racism against Jews just doesn’t seem to count.”
The CST said that the rise in antisemitic incidents is “utterly predictable and completely disgraceful”.
The British government’s communities secretary, Robert Jenrick, said last week that the escalating antisemitism in the UK is likely a result of radical Islamist cells in the country.
He said that the UK must be “alive” to the growing threat of Islamic antisemitism “because some of the themes we’ve seen in recent weeks are more than just casual antisemitism, or people who don’t understand what antisemitism is, and drift into it by accident”.
The government minister gave the example of a pro-Palestinian car protest in May, which saw members of the motorcade scream out on the streets of London: “F*** the Jews”, “F*** their mothers”, “F*** their daughters”, and “Rape their daughters”.
The Community Security Trust reported that in another case, a group of Jewish secondary school children were threatened by a man who said that he would assault them if they didn’t express support for Palestine.
“Tell your f****** mum and dad they are murderers and killing babies,” the man allegedly yelled at the children.
Last month also saw a resurgence in anti-Israel political rallies, with two major protests being staged in London.
Both rallies were attended by former Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn, who was suspended from his own party over his alleged failures to meaningfully take on antisemitism within the left-wing party.

LGBT Police Refuse to Take Part in Pride Parade Starting in Paris No-Go Suburbs DOMINIQUE FAGET/AFP via Getty Images
CHRIS TOMLINSON

An LGBT police group has stated it will not be taking part in a Pride parade in Paris which is set to start in the no-go suburbs of Seine-Saint-Denis, over fears regarding officer safety.
The police LGBT group FLAG! released a statement this week saying that due to safety concerns for officers, they would not be participating in the Pride march this year.
Johan Cavirot, the president of the association, was clear that the reason for the move was due to the fact that the march will start from the commune of Pantin this year, saying: “It will leave Pantin, in Seine-Saint-Denis, to reach République through neighbourhoods where police officers are not always welcome,” French LGBT magazine Tetu reports .
“The route of the march coupled with the terrorist threat and attacks with weapons towards the forces of law and order require that the securing of the procession of FLAG! is much more important than in previous years in order to guarantee the safety of our members,” Cavirot added.
Cavirot added that many officers were also exhausted due to the Wuhan virus pandemic, but promised officers would take part in the Pride parade in 2022.
Matthieu Gatipon, the spokesperson for Inter-LGBT, which is organising the Pride parade, had said the choice to start in the no-go suburbs of Paris was to “deconstruct prejudices about the suburbs and highlight the associations of Seine-Saint-Denis that do a lot of work. We have no doubt that the march will be very well received.”
The commune of Pantin made news in recent months due to the closure of the Pantin mosque following the beheading of teacher Samuel Paty last October by a Chechen refugee.
After Paty had shown cartoons of the Islamic prophet, Mohammed, during a lesson on freedom of expression, the Pantin mosque had shared a “fatwa” video from the parent of one of the pupils at Paty’s school as part of a social media campaign against the teacher.
The mosque apologized for sharing the video but was later shut down for a six-month period following the public beheading of Paty.
Attacks on police have also increased in general across France, with a February report claiming that in the last 20 years, violent attacks on officers have doubled.

Hamas’ military wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, as well as the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, have opened registration recently for their annual summer camps for Gaza youth, where children as young as nine are trained in marksmanship, kidnapping, and tunnel warfare, as they’re encouraged to become next-generation terrorists .
Over the last few days, videos of Hamas gunmen appealing to Palestinians to send their children to their summer camps appeared on multiple social media platforms, as photos of dozens of Palestinian children registering for the camps appeared throughout Palestinian media outlets.
Despite the recruitment and indoctrination of young children by the Gaza terror groups being no secret, journalists and human rights groups have largely ignored the flagrant war crime.
Pelosi Blames ‘White Supremacy, Anti-Semitism, Islamophobia’ for Jan. 6 Attack on U.S. Capitol House Speaker Nancy Pelosi
(Screenshot)
Announcing the creation of a Select Committee to investigate the breach of the U.S. Capitol on January 6, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) blamed the attack on attitudes of white supremacy, anti-Semitism and islamophobia.
Speaker Pelosi made the claim at her weekly Thursday press conference, where she announced the passage of H.R. 503 establishing the committee.
Pelosi said that the FBI and DHS have determined that domestic terrorists are a greater threat to the U.S. than are foreign terrorists, and attributed the attack on the Capitol to bigoted “attitudes” held by the protestors:
“It’s really important for you all to know what our purpose is for this.
“And, that is, the findings of the legislation speak to the testimony of the director of the FBI, when he basically said that there were more deaths from domestic terrorism than from global terrorism in our country in the previous year. Testimony from the Department of Homeland Security about concerns that are out there.
“All of these institutions talking about, well, I hate to even go there, but it is what they have said, in terms of white supremacy, anti-Semitism, islamophobia – all of these attitudes that have provoked – well, contributed – to what happened on January 6th .
“And, so that is our purpose. You can go to Speaker.gov to read the findings which establish the purpose of what we are setting out to do, to make sure that this never happens again.”
However, the comments from the FBI and DHS cited by both Pelosi and her legislation do not actually claim the January 6 attack on the Capitol was the result of these bigoted attitudes.
As Pelosi’s H.R. 503 legislation explains , the DHS bulletin is warning about the possibility that future violence by domestic violent extremists might be “emboldened” by the attack on the Capitol – and the comments by the director of the FBI were general observations about domestic extremism made last September, four months before the January attack on the Capitol:
Whereas on January 27, 2021, the Department of Homeland Security issued a National Terrorism Advisory System Bulletin that due to the ‘‘heightened threat environment across the United States,’’ in which ‘‘[S]ome ideologically-motivated violent extremists with objections to the exercise of governmental authority and the presidential transition, as well as other perceived grievances fueled by false narratives, could continue to mobilize to incite or commit violence.’’ The Bulletin also stated that—
(1) ‘‘DHS is concerned these same drivers to violence will remain through early 2021 and some DVEs [domestic violent extremists] may be emboldened by the January 6, 2021 breach of the U.S. Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. to target elected officials and government facilities.’’; and
(2) ‘‘Threats of violence against critical infrastructure, including the electric, telecommunications and healthcare sectors, increased in 2020 with violent extremists citing misinformation and conspiracy theories about COVID–19 for their actions’’;
Whereas on September 24, 2020, Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation Christopher Wray testified before the Committee on Homeland Security of the House of Representatives that—
(1) ‘‘[T]he underlying drivers for domestic violent extremism – such as perceptions of government or law enforcement overreach, sociopolitical conditions, racism, anti-Semitism, Islamophobia, misogyny, and reactions to legislative actions – remain constant.’’;
(2) ‘‘[W]ithin the domestic terrorism bucket category as a whole, racially-motivated violent extremism is, I think, the biggest bucket within the larger group. And within the racially-motivated violent extremists bucket, people subscribing to some kind of white supremacist-type ideology is certainly the biggest chunk of that.’’; and
(3) ‘‘More deaths were caused by DVEs than international terrorists in recent years. In fact, 2019 was the deadliest year for domestic extremist violence since the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995’’

NEVER UNDERESTIMATE HOW FAST AN AMERICAN POLITICIAN WILL CRAWL IN BED WITH THE ENEMIES OF DEMOCRACY!
The Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) is the American arm of Jamaat-e-Islami (JI), South Asia’s largest Islamist group. As such, ICNA is related to terrorist organizations and spreads fanatic ideologies. Recently, United States Senator from Michigan and Chairwoman of the Senate Agriculture Committee, Debbie Stabenow, gave ICNA an award for community service .
Sen. Stabenow Gives Award to Group Linked to Terror and Bigotry ICNA harbors death squad leader, while promoting domestic violence against women.
Tue Jun 29, 2021 Joe Kaufman is a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center and the Chairman of the Joe Kaufman Security Initiative . He was the 2014, 2016 and 2018 Republican Nominee for U.S. House of Representatives (Florida-CD23).
The Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) is the American arm of Jamaat-e-Islami (JI), South Asia’s largest Islamist group. As such, ICNA is related to terrorist organizations and spreads fanatic ideologies. Recently, United States Senator from Michigan and Chairwoman of the Senate Agriculture Committee, Debbie Stabenow, gave ICNA an award for community service . In learning about this travesty, this author contacted Senator Stabenow’s office, in hopes of persuading the Senator to rescind the award. Her staffer allotted me just one short minute to rattle off five reasons why she should do so. The following will discuss each reason.
As mentioned, ICNA is linked to groups involved in South Asian terror. Being related to JI means ICNA is also related to JI’s militant wing, Hizbul Mujahideen (HM), a group found on the US State Department list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTO) that has been responsible for several terrorist attacks in the Kashmir region of India. In December 2017, ICNA, under its subsidiary Helping Hands for Relief and Development (HHRD), organized an event featuring Qari Rehmtullah, the Timergara, Pakistan chief of Falah-e-Insaniat Foundation (FIF). FIF is a US-banned front for Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), the group responsible for the 2008 Mumbai attacks.
For the past three decades, ICNA has harbored Ashrafuz Zaman Khan , a former death squad commander in JI’s then-military wing, al-Badr, during the 1971 genocide committed in what is now called Bangladesh. In November 2013, the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) sentenced Khan to death (in absentia) for the torture and murder of 18 individuals, at the time of the massacres. Without an extradition treaty between Bangladesh and the US, Khan has been able to remain here. Khan has served as National Vice President of ICNA and President of ICNA New York. According to Khan’s LinkedIn page, he is currently acting as an imam for ICNA.
ICNA has been tied to support for Hamas and other terrorist outfits. In July 2014, ICNA co-sponsored a pro-Hamas rally in Downtown Miami, where rally goers repeatedly shouted, “We are Hamas” and “Let’s go Hamas.” In August 2006, JI’s Al-Khidmat Foundation (AKF) took a delegation to the Damascus, Syria home of then-global Hamas leader, Khaled Mashal, and handed him a check for $100,000 to continue terrorist acts against Israel. At the time ICNA was a partner and top donor to AKF. ICNA has used the web to promote terrorist groups , including Hamas, Hezbollah and the Taliban and the financing of al-Qaeda-related militants in Chechnya.
ICNA actively propagates material touting domestic violence as a valid method for husbands to punish wives they consider unruly. ICNA’s subsidiary Why Islam (WI) features on its website the controversial text, Gender Equity in Islam , by accused Hamas financing co-conspirator Jamal Badawi. It states, “Men are the protectors and maintains of women… [T]he righteous women are devoutly obedient… As to those women on whose part you fear disloyalty and ill conduct, admonish them (first), (next) refuse to share their beds (and last) beat them (lightly).” The book says some have suggested the use of a small toothbrush (miswak) to be used for the beatings.
ICNA’s leadership has targeted Jews and homosexuals with bigotry. Abdul Rauf Khan is the Chief Operating Officer (COO) of ICNA subsidiary ICNA Relief. In July 2014, Khan, an avid Louis Farrakhan fan, promoted on Facebook an anti-Semitic video labeling comedian talk show host Bill Maher, “Zionist Jew Bill Maher.” In April 2018, Khan removed most of his Facebook page, after this author exposed him for posting the anti-gay propaganda piece, “Why is it haram [forbidden] to actively be gay?” which was produced by a media outlet that openly supports Hizb-ut-Tahrir (HT), a radical Muslim group that calls for homosexuals to be put to death.
Up until recently, ICNA’s Why Islam featured a message board on its website, where the forum moderators used it to make posts deriding Jews and in favor of Hamas and the destruction of Israel. One Why Islam moderator, Marwan, in response to a story about an Indian restaurant called “Hitler’s Cross” that was adorned with Nazi symbols, crudely joked, “Nazi restaurant… I wonder if they have kosher meals.” Another WI mod, Br Jim C, wrote concerning Israel, “Those Jews that speak out against such atrocity by holding their public officials accountable are the ones who deserve peace and life… The rest will one day end up in the Mediterranean sea.”
On March 1, 2021, US Senator Debbie Stabenow presented ICNA with a Certificate of Congressional Recognition . According to the certificate, it was awarded to the group “for providing compassionate support services for individuals and families in Southeast Michigan during the coronavirus pandemic.”
In the midst of the Covid-19 outbreak, ICNA took the opportunity to set up stations in different parts of the US to provide food and essentials to local communities. Normally, this would be viewed as an altruistic endeavor, for many have suffered as a result of the virus. But given the group’s radical background, there is no doubt that this was done specifically to provide cover for ICNA’s extremist identity and to create the façade that the group is a civic-minded charity. The cynical exploitation of the Covid crisis proved to be a PR boon for ICNA, earning it Congressional legitimization and approval in the form of Stabenow’s award.
It is obvious that, when Senator Stabenow gave ICNA this honor, she was either ignorant of ICNA’s terror-related and bigoted history or she ignored it. However, now that it has been brought to her attention, it is incumbent upon the Senator to rectify this grievous error that bears her signature and rescind this award immediately. Failure to do so in light of the facts, as presented above, makes Stabenow complicit in enabling ICNA to carry out its radical agenda and continue to deceive the public as to its sinister intentions.

Forget About Making Peace with the Islamic World
The great humorist, Jerome K. Jerome, suggested many years ago that, “… we all love peace, but not peace at any price.”
Peace is only a reality between states that are rational and can in time become friendly towards each other. Today leftists and all those who shout out the vacuous phrase, “peace and justice,” have turned those once noble words into soiled and tarnished rags.
They have become the very folk who, through one of life’s supreme ironies, shout down dissenting voices and thus become guilty of the very violent behavior they claim to oppose. The universities and colleges have become hotbeds of radicalized students who chant slogans of peace and justice yet howl down invited speakers with whom they disagree. Free speech withers on today’s university campus while tenured professors, smiling indulgently, espouse the monolithic message of the Left, which tolerates no disagreement.
That word, “peace” has permeated the democracies for decades and flowed from numerous pulpits. But despite untold forests cut down in order to produce posters, books, banners, placards, and learned tomes calling for peace, there is less peace in the world today and more hypocrites selling it like snake oil peddlers.
On the banks of the East River in New York City stands the Temple of Peace, the huge United Nations building that claims to be its repository, but which in reality is the ultimate Temple to Hypocrisy. The worshippers of “Peace” are the supreme idealists who never abandon their dreams, even if their naïve acts lead them to inadvertently make tyrants stronger and create living nightmares for the very victims for whom they claim they are bringing peace.
If a nation desires peace with its neighbor, but that neighbor implacably rejects peace, then any imposed peace process from outside is nothing more than a handmaiden to futility or worse. The peacemaker often creates a catastrophic erosion of security for the peace-loving nation, which because of its peaceful intentions is the only party that is then leaned upon to make endless and one-sided concessions to a belligerent enemy. Such has been the curse of the peace process for Israel in its attempts to survive relentless Arab and Muslim aggression.
Israel’s leaders have sought peace above all else and considered its attainment with hostile neighbors as the great panacea. But making peace must never be the goal of a nation when confronted by irredeemable enemies who look upon peace with contempt. For almost a century Jews have begged the Arab and Muslim world to agree to a lasting peace in the Middle East. They have offered what no other nation or people would dream of offering to a belligerent. But they have received nothing, for the simple reason that the Muslim Arab is only interested in a limited ceasefire so as to continue aggression against the Jews as soon as he feels strong enough. In this, he follows the example of Islam’s founder, Mohammed.
Deterrence and unwavering strength is the only salvation for Israel or any non-Muslim nation resisting the latest Islamic onslaught. A blinded West, increasingly confronted with Islamic terrorism and betrayed by the self-inflicted and suicidal trinity of political correctness, multiculturalism and diversity, is fast becoming submerged under a tide of hostile Muslim immigration.
To cry peace, peace, when there is no peace, as the Jewish prophet, Jeremiah, taught us long ago, is not an expression of hope but a foolish and dangerous abrogation of reality. It dulls the mind and the aspiration of a people who then become lost and blinded under a veritable veil of self-deception. Peace is impossible for a nation like Israel without its own demonstration of unassailable military strength and its utter rejection of concessions to an implacable enemy. The Muslim Arab world respects strength. It treats concessions with complete and utter scorn. It considers overtures of peace as a sign of weakness and thus becomes emboldened in its aggression.
When that enemy is an Arab and Muslim entity unwilling to make any concession whatsoever, and when the world expects Israel always to give and the Muslim Arabs, particularly the so-called Palestinians, always to take, then to continue along that same path to nowhere becomes an Israeli self-delusion, leading to worse: Self-destruction.
“Then said Satan: This besieged one, how shall I overcome him?
He has courage and ability, he has weapons and imagination.
So he said: I shall not take his strength, nor muzzle nor bridle him.
Nor soften nor weaken his hands, only one thing I shall do;
I shall dull his brain and he will forget that he is in the right.”
So wrote the Israeli poet, Natan Alterman, in his poem, Gone like a Dream . He was expressing his deep anxiety over the weakening resolve and steadfastness of the Jews of Israel and of the Diaspora in their support for the reconstituted Jewish state and their illusory belief in the sincerity of their intractable foe, the fraudulent Arabs who call themselves Palestinians.
It is high time for Israel to be making demands upon the Arabs, starting with territorial concessions from the vast Arab and Muslim world. Based upon prior precedents in Muslim history going back to the time of Mohammed and his dealings with the Jewish and Christian tribes in Arabia, the Muslim Arabs will never make peace or accept a Jewish sovereign state in territory they have previously conquered in the name of Allah. Thus, Israel should now begin reclaiming Jewish Biblical and ancestral territory it has foolishly given away since the Oslo “peace” Accords including Gaza and parts of Samaria.
There is no hope for the Jewish state surviving in the nastiest neighborhood in the world if it presents itself as inwardly irresolute and unwilling to engage in war. The Muslim Arab adversary should always be fully aware that Israel is resolute, steadfast and more ready to wage war than agree to a fraudulent peace. If the Arab and Muslim world rejects Israel, it must live with the consequences of its enmity and become the ultimate loser. A Jewish state, which no longer seeks to make peace at any price will prosper and grow. It will also engender respect from both its friends and its enemies.
As W.B Yeats onc e wrote, “…peace under a semblance of peace… is but a manifold illusion.”

Pope Francis: ‘Tear Down the Walls’ against Islam! Only your walls, not his.
Tue Jun 29, 2021
Raymond Ibrahim is a Shillman Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center.
Pope Francis wants any and all walls, real or figurative, that stand between the West and Islam broken down immediately—or so he’s constantly saying.
Most recently , on Sunday, June 13, 2021, he called for the “growth of a more supportive humanity that tears down the wall of indifference.” This was spoken in the context of urging Europeans to take in more illegally arrived Muslim migrants.
Earlier, in March 2019, when asked “a question about migration in general and about U.S. President Donald Trump’s then threat to shut down the southern border with Mexico,” the pope pontificated in platitudes: “Builders of walls,” he said , “be they made of razor wire or bricks, will end up becoming prisoners of the walls they build…. With fear, we will not move forward, with walls, we will remain closed within these walls.”
Less than a week before that, Francis lectured the mayor of Rome about the need to be more welcoming to Muslim migrants. “Rome,” he declared, “a hospitable city, is called to face this epochal challenge [floods of Muslim migrants demanding entry] in the wake of its noble history; to use its energies to welcome and integrate, to transform tensions and problems into opportunities for meeting and growth.”
“Rome,” he exulted , “city of bridges, never walls!”
The grand irony of all this is that Pope Francis lives in the only state to be surrounded by walls—Vatican City—and most of these bastions were erected to ward off ongoing Islamic invasions.
In 846, for example, a Muslim fleet from North Africa consisting of 73 ships and 11,000 Muslims, landed in Ostia near Rome. Muslim merchants who frequently visited Italy had provided them with precise intelligence that made the raid a success. Although they were unable to breach the preexisting walls of the Eternal City, they sacked and despoiled the surrounding countryside, including—to the consternation of Christendom—the venerated and centuries-old basilicas of St. Peter and St. Paul. The Muslim invaders desecrated the tombs of the revered apostles and stripped them of all their treasures.
Pope Leo IV (847-855) responded by building many more walls, including fifteen bastions along the right bank of the Tiber River, the mouth of which was forthwith closed with a chain to protect the sacred sites from further Muslim raids and desecrations. Completed by 852, the walls were in places 40 feet high and 12 feet thick.
Further anticipating the crusades against Islam by over two centuries—and thus showing how they were a long time coming—Pope Leo (and after him Pope John VIII) offered the remission of sins for those Christians who died fighting Islamic invaders. Such was the existential and ongoing danger Muslims, referred to in contemporary sources as “Sons of Satan,” caused for Europe—more than two centuries before the First Crusade was launched in 1095.
Indeed, just three years after the initial Muslim invasion of Rome, “in 849 the Muslims attempted a new landing at Ostia; then, every year from around 857 on, they threatened the Roman seaboard,” explains French medieval historian C. E. Dufourcq:
In order to get rid of them, Pope John VIII decided in 878 to promise them an annual payment [or jizya] of several thousand gold pieces; but this tribute of the Holy See to Islam seems to have been paid for only two years; and from time to time until the beginning of the tenth century, the Muslims reappeared at the mouth of the Tiber or along the coast nearby.
Today, many Muslims, not just of the ISIS-variety, continue to boast that Islam will conquer Rome, the only of five ancient apostolic sees never to have been subjugated by jihad (unlike Antioch, Alexandria, Jerusalem, and Constantinople).
Similarly, many Muslims all throughout Europe continue exhibiting the same hostility and contempt for all things and persons non-Islamic, whether by vandalizing churches and breaking crosses , or by raping “infidel” women as theirs by right .
And that is the point that Pope Francis—whose own ancient city would never have lasted to the present if not for walls—misses: walls should only go down and bridges should only be extended when both parties are willing to live in amicable peace. Otherwise they serve only to make the destructive work of those who have for centuries been trying to conquer and destroy in the name of Islam that much easier.

Muslim wives expose dirty secrets of CAIR leaders
Housewife Imane Sadrati’s claims of spousal abuse at the hands of a prominent Muslim set in motion a “Me Too”-style campaign rarely seen in the insulated Islamic community.
Sadrati is not an ordinary Muslim housewife. She is married to Hassan Shibly, who had championed himself as a “human rights” advocate in his former top executive position at CAIR-Florida (Council on American-Islamic Relations). Their estranged relationship had enjoyed a measure of privacy in the insular Islamic organization.
That was before Sadrati decided to revolt against the Muslim taboo of not discussing personal scandals, and turned her divorce into a high-profile media event . Her accusations of 12 years of abuse were shocking enough, but Sadrati’s decision to publicly denounce her husband, a nationally recognized Muslim leader, qualified as a public relations nightmare for CAIR’s management team.
Many of their fears were well founded. Sadrati alleged in a two-hour NPR broadcast that she lived in a misogynistic marriage and her husband’s “physical and emotional abuse” started early in their relationship. Listeners were privy to the worst of the allegations: Sadrati claiming her husband used her as a punching bag, and even initiated “violent blows,” while she was pregnant.
Shibly was given an opportunity to respond on NPR portraying himself as more of a victim than his wife. He wrote off his estranged spouse’s allegations as “blatantly false” and reverted back to his prominence as an Islamic leader claiming nothing good would come of “talebearing, gossip, slander and harming others.”
Within 15 days of Sadrati’s broadcast going live, Shibly was forced to resign from his position. His resignation appeared to embolden other Muslim women to come forward -- all of whom had their own ugly allegations to impart about having worked with Shibly at CAIR.
NPR interviewed six female employees, in total, and together they portrayed Shibly as a “bully" and “serial predator” who used his power to “seduce” and “sexually harass women.” He was viewed as a “blatant pervert,” for many years by several CAIR female employees.
Shibly’s predecessor -- Nezar Hamze -- whom Shibly has referred to as “my brother for life,” didn’t fare much better at CAIR. His photo and bio were removed from the website after his association with “terror-related” groups was called into question.
Journalist Joe Kaufman pressed the former CAIR employee about his side jobs in groups with “tremendous terror-related histories” (including ”Islamic Relief (IR) and the South Florida Muslim Federation (SFMF). From his view, Hamze says the groups are “law abiding and social service organizations,” claiming Kaufman got his information from anti-Muslim websites.
That said, Israel won’t allow IR into its country, labeling the group a front for Hamas. And SFMF earns the same dubious reputation as an umbrella organization for radical Muslim organizations.
Nezar Hamze is now gainfully employed full-time and wears a law enforcement uniform, serving as a county sheriff in Boward, Florida. He appears to have weathered the controversy and remains unapologetic about his association with alleged terror-related groups.
“The mainstream media likes to paint CAIR as a group interested in protecting the civil rights of the Muslim community,” Joe Kaufman wrote in Front Page magazine. “The reality is that CAIR is a support network for terror with both foundational and financial links to Hamas.” CAIR was named as an “unindicted co-conspirator” in a Hamas terror funding case, according to two Federal cases brought by the Justice Department.
NPR, and other liberal outlets, routinely ignore the more salacious details of CAIR’s association with terror groups: But the high-profile Shibly divorce fits their leftist narrative of giving voice to an abused Muslim wife.
The broadcast helped launch Sadrati’s own informal “Me Too” campaign. Undoubtedly, she influenced other Muslim women to come forward. Now she’s demonstrating how religious women can empower themselves -- despite previous taboos. She claims her husband cut her off financially, but she countered the move by establishing a GoFundMe page.
Perhaps CAIR can show the same mental resourcefulness by demonstrating how a self-styled “human rights” organization can clean up their “human-rights” violations among their own rank-and-file.

Palestinian Terror Youth Summer Camps Begin: Military Training, Indoctrination, Planning ‘Demise of all Jews, Israel’ AHMAD AL-BASHA/AFP via Getty Images 4:32
Hamas’ military wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades, as well as the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, have opened registration recently for their annual summer camps for Gaza youth, where children as young as nine are trained in marksmanship, kidnapping, and tunnel warfare, as they’re encouraged to become next-generation terrorists.
This summer’s camps , which begin on Tuesday and are designed for young primary school students as well as college- and even post-college age Gaza residents, are dubbed “Sword of Jerusalem,” after Hamas’ recent conflict with the Jewish state, which began after the U.S.-designated terror group launched over 4,000 rockets at civilian population centers throughout the Jewish state last month.
Many camps carry anti-Israel themes and are named after terrorists who murdered Israelis in the past.
According to Hamas’ Telegram channel, the camps aim to “fan the flames of jihad [Islamic holy war] among the generation of liberation, instill Islamic values, and prepare the long-awaited army for the liberation of Palestine.”
In a promotional video for the camp, teens are seen using simulators to attack Israeli forces and civilians with various weapons, including rifles, missile launchers, and drones:
In another clip, children are seen enduring more intense military training:
In addition to sports and games, the camps seek to instill extremist Islamic ideology of jihad, martyrdom, and glorification of terror, while teaching a wide range of military and combat skills, including knife and firearm training.
In an attempt to market its terror training camps for Gaza youth to a Western audience, a spokesman for the terror group explained the camp’s goals in English, including the teaching of Islamic principles and “faith in Allah,” as well as preparing the youth for “liberation” of their land from Israel, while providing them with “basic military training and light weapons skills.”
He also praised the Palestinian youth, who he described as having “always been the fuel of uprisings and protests, such as the first intifada, the great victory march, and the latest demonstration at the Al-Aqsa mosque.”
The terrorist-designated Islamic Jihad is also running camps for teens this summer, offering field trips and activities such as painting and Quran memorization, in addition to intensive activities at military sites.
According to Tawfiq Qanita, who heads the group’s indoctrination department, young teens are specifically chosen for their future roles.
“We specifically chose this age group of 14- to 17-year-old children, because this is the age group that we count on to be the commanders of tomorrow,” he said.
“This age group needs indoctrination in the fields of security, culture, and ideology. They also need physical and military fitness,” he added.
In one clip, young Palestinians attending the camp are seen simulating the kidnapping of an Israeli soldier:
Qanita also explained the message such camps send to the Jewish state and Jews everywhere.
This is why we say to the Zionist enemy: You are facing a generation that will not accept the ’67 or ’68 (borders), and not even the ’48 (borders). They will accept nothing less than Palestine in its entirety. They will accept nothing less than the demise of all the Jews, the demise of Israel. This is what they strive for. This is what they want. This is this generation’s goal.
Since taking control of Gaza, Hamas — as well as the Islamic Jihad — has engaged in intense indoctrination aimed at imbuing Palestinians with its extremist ideology, with the summer camps being one of the most effective ways of doing so.
Every year, tens of thousands of Palestinian children and teens attend such camps.
Over the last few days, videos of Hamas gunmen appealing to Palestinians to send their children to their summer camps appeared on multiple social media platforms, as photos of dozens of Palestinian children registering for the camps appeared throughout Palestinian media outlets.
Despite the recruitment and indoctrination of young children by the Gaza terror groups being no secret, journalists and human rights groups have largely ignored the flagrant war crime.

Brexit leader Nigel Farage characterised the growing migrant crisis in the Enlgish Channel as an “invasion” as more migrants landed on British shores on Friday.
Sharing footage of migrants rushing ashore on an English beach, Mr Farage said: “This video was taken in Dungeness yesterday. Would it be wrong to use the word invasion? Take a look for yourself.”
According to the BBC’s migrant reporter Simon Jones revealed that 201 migrants in nine boats reached the United Kingdom on Friday.
Earlier this week, the Brexit leader challenged Home Secretary Priti Patel to come to the country’s border to witness the scale of the boat migrant crisis, as nearly 6,000 illegals have landed since the start of the year.
“I am challenging now Priti Patel, come and visit Dover, come and visit Dungeness, come and speak to these people who have to deal with this every single day,” Mr Farage said on Monday.
The latest crossings come as an investigation from i found that people-smuggling gangs are trying to overwhelm border officials by conducting coordinated launches of as many as forty rubber dinghies from the coast of France at one time.
The report claimed that the boats are divided up into different economic classes, with smugglers charging around £4,000 per head for passage on smaller, cheaper boats designed to be caught by border authorities. The smaller and slower boats work as decoys for the “first-class” packages being offered for places on high-powered boats at up to £10,000 per migrant.
A senior French law enforcement source told the news outlet “if you pay extra you can have a first-class service,” adding: “It is an operation for pure profit with no care for those who risk their lives in this way.”
It is believed that the vicious human trafficking gangs are making upwards of £80 million per year through exploitative deals with migrants seeking to reach the United Kingdom. In many cases, migrants who are unable to pay the exorbitant fees sign themselves over to slave labour contracts with criminal gangs in the United Kingdom to pay off their debt.
Aside from the exploitation of the migrants, the people-smuggling operation has come with a deadly cost. It has been revealed that eleven people, including some children, have died while trying to cross the busy English Channel in small rubber boats.
A Freedom of Information request has revealed that the Home Office recorded 3,679 illegal migrants landing during the first five months of the year. This is compared to 1,760 during the same period last year.
The Channel crisis has only continued to grow since Brexit, with another 2,200 migrants landing in June — three times as many as landed during June of 2020.
Home Secretary Priti Patel is expected to introduce her long-touted immigration reforms to the Parliament this week. The legislation would supposedly prevent migrants who came to the country from receiving citizenship through asylum status. It has also been mooted that the reforms would include a legislative route for the government to house asylum seekers in a third country, possibly in Africa with the Danes .
Crucially, though, the government has still failed to come to an agreement with any EU nation after Brexit on the return of illegal migrants, and seems unwilling to take unilateral action to turn boats back — meaning that the crisis is likely to continue unabated.
Mr Farage, for his part, has called on the government to adopt such a unilateral ‘send back the boats’ strategy of immediately returning the migrants back to the French beaches from where they set off, saying that the 1951 Geneva Convention on refugee status requires migrants to claim asylum in the first safe country they reach.
The Brexit leader said that independent Brexit Britain should not tolerate the French Navy escorting migrants into British territorial waters, and said that the Conservative government should be “ashamed” for allowing the crisis to continue.

UK: Islamic Studies Teacher Convicted of Sexually Assaulting Two Girls and a Boy West Midlands Police 2:47
An Islamic Studies teacher has been convicted of sexually assaulting two girls and a boy in Birmingham, England.
37-year-old Mohammed Noor was supposed to be teaching his young wards how to pray at their homes, but abused his position to touch them sexually and administer beatings “with implements that [he] had constructed”, according to prosecutors.
“Noor is a teacher of Islamic studies and in the process of teaching [his victims] he touched the two female victims on the breasts and over their clothing while he was teaching them to pray,” recalled prosecutor Grace Ong in comments reported by BirminghamLive.
“One of the features of this case was that the children were beaten with implements that Noor had constructed and they described being beaten about their bodies,” Ong added, with BirminghamLive noting that the male victim, the brother of one of the girl victims, was smacked on his bare behind and touched “in an intimate way”.
“You armed yourself with weapons and used them to beat the children,” observed the judge, Recorder Martin Hurst, noting that it was “an aggravating feature that [the abuse] took place in their homes or the homes of relatives, in private” and sentencing Noor to nine years for eight counts of sexual assault — although it is extremely unlikely that he will serve all of this time behind bars , as criminals in Britain sentenced to non-“life” sentences are typically released on licence halfway or, more rarely, two-thirds of the way through their terms, often automatically.
“Never in my life have I felt so vulnerable,” said one of Noor’s female victims.
“I feel I was targeted for his own pleasure,” she said, lamenting that “I was in my own family surroundings a place where I should have felt safe and protected. This lasted for years and it kept coming back to me. It was extremely painful to bring up all those memories.
“It made me feel helpless, like a fish caught in a net.
“Although there were no physical injuries I have been scarred for life by this ordeal.”
The victim also noted that “Sexual crimes are not ordinarily talked about within my community against children and no one really understands the impact it has on a person from a man with such authority and such high regard.”
Indeed, the judge noted that after Noor was reported, the police found themselves unable to find him, despite him being a well-known figure in the area, alleging there had been a “conspiracy of silence” to keep him out of the authorities’ hands.
Ultimately he handed himself in, after the police issued a public press release begging for information about his whereabouts.
