MUSLIM PERSECUTION OF CHRISTIANS - Dozens Killed, Abducted on Christmas After Jihadists Demand Churches Close

DESTROYING AMERICA ONE ILLEGAL AT A TIME. THAT IS THE GLOBALIST DEMOCRAT'S DOCTRINE FOR 'CHEAP' LABOR


These staggering numbers reveal the massive speed with which Islamic colonization takes place, fueled by birth rates and then religious violence, but even with the high birth rates within Islam in general and in Afghanistan in particular, the Fort McCoy numbers are still too high.

As Many as 1 in 3 Afghan Refugee Women at U.S. Bases are Pregnant

Despite the denials, statistics make the existence of child brides obvious.

Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism.

When Biden's Afghanistan retreat first brought tens of thousands of Afghans to the United States without any visas or vetting, officials at Fort McCoy warned about numerous incidents of Afghan child brides. Democrats and senior military officials have denied these allegations, but shocking new statistics out of Fort McCoy raise new questions of just how pervasive this is.

When thousands of Afghans first arrived at the military base in rural Wisconsin, local residents in Sparta, the “Bicycling Capital of America”, a small city of less than 10,000, began warning that the Afghans being housed at Fort McCoy were putting a significant strain on their infrastructure and their medical services. I was told that there were as many as 800 pregnant refugees at the base. The number seemed wildly implausible, but now the official number is out.

According to military officials, there have been 500 pregnant Afghans at Fort McCoy and, according to a local news report, “the numbers keep growing”.

“I am so happy that my son was born as a US citizen,” one Afghan evacuee declared.

Considering that there were only 12,600 Afghans on the base, down to about 7,000 now, these numbers are staggering. According to the Pentagon, only 22% of Afghan evacuees across all the bases are adult women. Around half of the evacuees are children. Assuming that these numbers hold true for Fort McCoy, that would mean that it housed only 2,772 adult women.

As the number of Afghan evacuees fell to around 7,000, most recently, the number of adult women would have averaged around 1,500. Even as its highest population mark, that would mean that 1 in 5 Afghan women were pregnant, while as its current number it would be 1 in 3.

All of that within a five month period.

In all of Wisconsin, a state of nearly 6 million people, there were only 60,615 births last year. 1.6% of the adult women in the state had a baby in one year, but between 18% to 33% of the Afghan women at Fort McCoy were pregnant during their time there.

These staggering numbers reveal the massive speed with which Islamic colonization takes place, fueled by birth rates and then religious violence, but even with the high birth rates within Islam in general and in Afghanistan in particular, the Fort McCoy numbers are still too high.

At 4.32 children per woman (as opposed to the American birth rate of 1.70), the Afghan birth rate is high, but 1 in 5 Afghan women (let alone 1 in 3) are still not pregnant at any given time. Some of the Afghan female refugees must be older which narrows down the population further. The only way to account for such a high pregnancy rate is by factoring in the underage girls.

Shortly before September, Senator Tammy Baldwin, Rep. Mark Pocan and other Democrats toured Fort McCoy and falsely claimed that the evacuees were being reliably vetted and screened.

"There are no cases in Fort McCoy right now with a child, 15 or under, who is married," Senator Baldwin insisted. The careful wording by the former lawyer leaves plenty of room for loopholes. It does not address the question of whether there are any pregnant children, 15 or under. And it doesn’t even touch on how many 16 and 17-year-olds are pregnant. And, since many of the Afghan evacuees had no documentation, there’s no way to know if any of those 16-year-olds are actually 15, 14, or even 13, despite how old the men trafficking them claim that they are.

Why else did the State Department demand "urgent guidance" after “intake staff at Fort McCoy reported multiple cases of minor females who presented as ‘married’ to adult Afghan men, as well as polygamous families?” Afghanistan has a 57% child marriage rate. Senator Baldwin and the Democrats expect us to believe that what the media is now describing as the “baby boom” is entirely due to 500 women, out of 1,500 to 2,700, all somehow being pregnant at Fort McCoy.

The only way to make sense of these numbers is to include many of the underage girls.

But why are so many Afghan women and girls at Fort McCoy pregnant? Obviously having a baby on American soil solidifies their legal status and provides them with assorted benefits. Demographic colonization of infidel nations through reproduction is also considered a form of Jihad. But for the men who bought and sold young girls for the trip, impregnating them is also a way to control them. It will be a lot harder for those girls to get away once they have a baby.

State Department personnel asked for guidance and the Biden administration began a coverup.

The media reporting on the “baby boom” at Fort McCoy state that the “base is partnering with local hospitals for deliveries”. Locals have long complained about the enormous demands that the Afghans at Fort McCoy are placing on local hospitals and medical personnel. For the first time we’re getting a small sense of just how enormous that demand really is.

In all of Monroe County, there were only 534 births in 2017. The Afghan migrants are set to equal all of the American births in a county with a population of three-quarters of a million.

When 12,500 Afghans can outnumber 741,770 Americans, what will happen when over 100,000 Afghans are brought to America? After Biden brought 53,000 Afghans to America, another 60,000 are waiting on visas in Afghanistan. That’s 113,000 Afghans and it’s just the beginning.

At a time when hospitals are already under strain and there are shortages of medical personnel, Biden’s decision to dump over 12,000 Afghans into rural Wisconsin has proven to be catastrophic. Gundersen Health Systems, one of whose hospitals has been used to deliver Afghan babies, has claimed that it's near capacity with COVID patients. Could Americans lose their lives because of shortages created by the Afghan strain on our medical system?

Either way, the Afghan influx has hit the region hard and as their wave of demographic change transforms the country, the next phase of the war in Afghanistan will take place in America..

A few days after September 11, Rep. Ilhan Omar signed a letter to the Secretary of Defense in response to complaints from the evacuees, claiming that the Afghans at Fort McCoy were suffering "mistreatment" and had been spoken to in a "rude condescending manner".

The next Omar, nurturing a grievance against America, is already at Fort McCoy. If the flood of Afghan migrants doesn’t stop, within another decade or two, she’ll be sitting in Congress.

Gallup: 69% of Americans Identify as Christian

(CNS News) -- Based on two 2021 polls, Gallup found that nearly 75% of Americans identify with a specific religious faith, including 69% who identify as Christian.

However, that percentage has declined from 90% who identified as Christian in 1971, some 50 years ago. In addition, formal church membership has declined since the 1970s, as well, and it has "largely been driven by younger generations of Americans," reported Gallup. 

"About one in three U.S. young adults have no religious affiliation," according to the survey firm.

For the 69% of Americans who identify as Christian, 35% are Protestant, 22% Catholic, and 12% "identify with another Christian religion or simply as a 'Christian,'" reported Gallup.

Another 2% identify as Jewish, 1% Muslim, and 1% Buddhist. "Twenty-one percent of Americans said they have no religious preference," reported Gallup.

"Fifty years ago, in 1971, 90% of U.S. adults identified with a Christian religion, 6% were non-Christian or another religion, and 4% did not have a religious preference," said Gallup.  "Thus, much of the change in the U.S. has been a shift away from Christian religions to no religion at all."

Although about 75% of Americans identify with a specific religion, only 49% say that religion is "very important" in their life, according to Gallup.

Church attendance continues to decline. "Asked whether they personally had attended church, synagogue, mosque or temple in the past seven days, an average of 29% of U.S. adults in 2021 reported they had done so, either in person or virtually," reported Gallup. "In 2000, 44% had gone to church in the past seven days, and in 1958, 49% had."

From the survey, Gallup found that 22% of Americans said they attend religious services "every week," and another 9% said "almost every week."

"[L]ess than half of Americans, 47%, belong to a formal house of worship," according to Gallup. "When Gallup first asked the question in 1937, 73% were members of a church, and as recently as 1999, 70% were."

"The decline in formal church membership has largely been driven by younger generations of Americans," reported Gallup.  "About one in three U.S. young adults have no religious affiliation. Further, many young adults who do identify with a religion nevertheless do not belong to a church. But even older adults who have a religious preference are less likely to belong to a church today than in the past."

For the survey, Gallup conducted telephone interviews "May 3-16, 2021, and Dec. 1-16, 2021, with a random sample of 1,837 adults, aged 18 and older, living in all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia."

Nigeria: Dozens Killed, Abducted on Christmas After Jihadists Demand Churches Close

Unspecified “bandits” in Muslim-majority Zamfara state, Nigeria, attacked as many as 15 villages on Christmas Day, killing at least seven and abducting dozens.

Nigeria’s Premium Times confirmed the attack on Monday. As many Christian communities in northern Nigeria are extremely remote, it often takes days for the news of such attacks to reach local journalists. The attacks occurred after a “Fulani association” sent a letter to the Christian minority in northern Nigeria in late November demanding that all churches in Zamfara shut down within three years or face violent attacks. The letter listed some churches to be attacked between late November and Christmas regardless of their operating status.

Ethnic Fulani jihadists have threatened the Christian minority in the north of the country for years, engaging in widespread massacres in an attempt to drive Christianity out of the region entirely. Experts often state that the slaughter of Christians in the region began as a “conflict” between the majority-Muslim Fulanis attempting to use the land for herding and Christians trying to farm, but the overwhelming majority of attacks in the “conflict” are against Christians, and the disagreement manifests itself as Fulanis forcing their animals onto Christian farmland, destroying their crops.

On Saturday – Christmas Day – the Premium Times reported that “armed persons,” without further identifying them, descended on 15 different communities in the greater area surrounding the regional Zamfara capital of Gusau, abducting at least 33 women. The spate of attacks began on late Saturday and continued into Sunday, according to the outlet. The newspaper did not note if the villages attacked were Christian communities.

Locals said they knew of seven dead but mass desertions of villages in the area mean many individuals are not accounted for, so it remains unclear how many have truly been killed or abducted. Families do not have possession of the bodies of the dead, as the danger of retrieving them increased their own risk of being killed.

Christian Solidarity International (CSI) has written to U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken ahead of his visit to Nigeria on 18 November 2021, to highlight the imminent risk of genocide in the African country and urge him to engage with victims of human rights abuses there.

Citing the BBC, the Premium Times quoted a local: “They took 10 women in Kura village. In Bayauri, we knew they took nine women including young ladies, while seven women were taken in Gana and went to Duma and abducted another seven in the early morning of yesterday Sunday.”

Locals speaking to the Premium Times expressed outrage at the government for doing nothing to stop the attacks or to give those affected and now displaced any shelter or food.

“No food, no decent clothing. I feel bad for them and the situation is terrible. It’s as if there is no government in this country,” one unnamed local said.

While the reports this week did not link the Christmas Day attacks directly to previous threats, the timing of the letter from an unnamed “Fulani association” to northern Nigerian Christians threatening attacks if they did not cease practicing their faith suggests the two are related. The African website Sahara Reporters confirmed in late November the existence of the letter, sent to Christians in Zamfara state. Though addressed to Christians generally, the anonymous people behind it sent the letter to police stations, not to churches or Christian leaders.

A Christian leader requested prayers from the international community in an anonymous statement to Sahara Reporters confirming the letter, asserting, “Let’s pray for Christians in Northern Nigeria, especially in Zamfara State as we are issued a three-year ultimatum to close all churches in the state.”

“Some churches were listed for attack between now and the end of December,” the leader reportedly said, “though the churches that would be attacked according to the Fulani group that wrote the letter are located on the outskirts of the town.”

He noted that the larger Christian Association Nigeria (CAN) had “directed all churches not to hold church activities beyond 5 p.m. for the next three months” to protect believers, significantly impeding services for Advent, the month in which Christians prepare for the arrival of Christmas.

The unnamed Christian leader said he believed the threats of a church attack were “just a trick.” Police officials appeared not to agree, however, as spokesmen for local law enforcement authorities said they would heighten security in the last month of the year near Christian churches.

“The police are certainly treating it as a credible threat. They have warned the Christian community. They have warned church leaders, ‘Hey, be on the alert, be cautious,'” Todd Nettleton of the Christian group Voice of the Martyrs USA said last week.

Zamfara state has been officially governed by sharia – Islamic law – since 1999, ostracizing the Christian minority. Human Rights Watch estimated in 2004 that about five to ten percent of Zamfara residents were Christians, through that population dwindled as Christians fled the implementation of sharia.

In 2018, the U.S. State Department noted that Zamfara was home to widespread jihadist violence, often enabled by the government.

“The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) in Zamfara noted a case where a Christian businessman sold land and the certificate of occupancy to a Christian church during the year,” the State Department recalled. “The church attempted to register the sale with the state government, but the sale was not approved because, according to the church, the government was concerned it would build a church.”

“CAN also said Christians in local communities in Zamfara occasionally did not inform the government when building a church because they feared the government would have it demolished,” the American government office noted.

The Zamfara attacks this weekend followed a similar assault last week in Nasarawa state, a central state outside of the national capital, Abuja. Fulani terrorists slaughtered 45 farmers of the majority Christian Tiv community during several attacks throughout the week before Christmas. The mass killing preceded tensions, reports claimed, similar to those in the north, prompted by Fulani herdsmen forcing their cattle onto Christian farmland.

Under President Muhammadu Buhari, an ethnic Fulani Muslim, the Nigerian government has done little to stop the attacks. After the mass killing in Nasarawa, Buhari condemned the “senseless and barbaric” attacks, but Christians report that local authorities do little to respond to threats or complaints of attacks from the victims.

“In 2015, President Muhammadu Buhari .. came to power, and the situation went from bad to worse,” Salihu Musa Umar — the founder of Africa’s Farmers and Herders Initiative for Peace and Development — told AFP in April.

The administration of President Joe Biden removed Nigeria from its list of “Countries of Particular Concern” regarding religious freedom this year, prompting condemnation from international Christian aid groups and Christians in Nigeria.

7. Islamic Immigration Is Like All Other Immigrations.

The idea that Islamic immigration is just like all of the other immigrants is100% wrong. The National press and Democrats have a double standard when it comes to Islam. Islam is permitted to be against Jews and Christians, but Jews and Christians cannot be against Islam. When Ilhan Omar, the Muslim congresswoman from Minnesota’s 5th district accused Jews of being traitors and buying the Democrat Party, nothing happened to her; but when Judge Jeanine Pirro, a Fox news host returned the fire with a speech that was true, she got suspended from her show. 

The Koran make it very clear why Islam is a danger to any non-Islamic society. If Islamic immigrants only brought their religion with them, then I would not be writing this, but Islam is also a political and military doctrine. Religion in Islam cannot be separated from politics and the military - they come as part of the package. Islam is different than other religions in that it is a total way of life that includes the mission to subdue all other religions and establish a global Islamic Caliphate by any means necessary. Islam includes a Constitution establishing Sharia Law. Muslims consider the Koran to be the final revelation of God. Islamic law touches on virtually every aspect of life and society, from banking and welfare, to family life, holy war against infidels. the environment, and how many times a man can shake his penis after he urinates, and which direction a person must face when she defecates. Because the Qur’an is considered the unarguable and final word of God, nothing in it can ever be changed or updated.

The word “Islam” does not mean “peace”, as the liberals seem to think but “submission.” The rationale for Islam meaning “peace” is that if everybody in the world submits to Islam then there will be peace. Islam actually means violence to subdue the world for Allah, and only then peace. Islam does not allow for the “corrupt” western ideas of democracy, freedom, tolerance and equality. It’s easier to understand Islam if you substitute the literal translation of “Islam” into the 5 Pillars of the faith. For instance the 1st Pillar of Islam “ becomes “The First Pillar of Submission.” Christianity is about being a good person; Islam is about being an obedient Muslim. 

What, you may ask, is the cultural battle that has been waged by Islam against the West for the last 1,400 years? It’s virtually everything that we hold dear in a free western society. Here are the Islamic values that the progressive left is so intent on protecting:

Censored Speech: Islam forbids freedom of speech, and speaking against Islam, Mohammed or Allah is called blasphemy and is punishable by death. In ancient times Jews and Christians had similar rules, but Islam has them today and, every Saturday, beheadings, stoning to death and amputations are carried out in the public square in major cities in Saudi Arabia.

Islam Uber Alles. The Koran is very precise in dividing the world into, Dar al-Islam, “the house of peace” and Dar al-Harb, the “house of war” which is the rest of the world that is waiting to be conquered by Islam. Leaving Islam for another religion is punishable by death.

Subordination of Women: In the West, we value women’s rights. In Islam, the women are considered property, to be controlled by their father before they are married and by their husband after they are married. Every woman is subject to a wali, a male guardian. She requires his permission to do almost anything of importance. Yet the head of the so-called Women’s March, Linda Sarsour is a Muslim, and a strong advocate of the Shari’a  laws that keep women in their place.

Theocratic Dictatorship: The American idea of the separation of church and state is anathema to Islam. In Islam, religion and state are one.

Political Submission: The right to vote and to choose your own political leaders and to create and enforce your own laws is condemned by Islam as a corrupt western idea.

Inequality under the law:  In Islam, men have more rights than women, and Muslims have more rights than non-Muslims.

I think the easiest way to understand Islam is to understand that this is a cult conceived of by a brilliant individual named Mohammad centered around himself. It is not that different from other cults in which the adherents were willing to kill and or die for their master. In Islam today there are innocent victims that are killed somewhere in the world every day in the name of Islam, and those Islamic killers are victims too, they are victims of the Islamic cult which not only allows for this kind of violence but also encourages it through the teachings of the Koran and the Islamic concept of holy war or jihad.

The Koran instructs its believers to convert the whole world to Islam and they have done a pretty good job of it over the centuries. Now, in addition to exploiting western values of democracy and inclusion to their own advantage they have another potent weapon, much more dangerous than the suicide bombers - the weapon of demographics, of their birth rate. Pew research reports that the Islamic birth rate is the highest of any religion in the world and is 2x that of the world at large - even more when considering the low birth rates of United States or Europe. In many countries, France and Israel come to mind, the Muslims will eventually be the largest number of voters and then they can and will take over the country at the ballot box.

We in the United States should be worried about Islam because there has never been a time in history that Islamic authorities taught the equality of non-Muslims with Muslims, and there has always been, with no historical interruption, Jihad, the Holy war against the Infidel. 


 WELL, WE KNOW WHAT THE MUSLIMS DO TO CHRISTIANS!

Israeli PM’s Christmas Message: Israel ‘Our Common Heritage,’ Only Place in Region Protecting Christian Life

Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett issued Christmas greetings to Christians worldwide along with a message of brotherhood and unity, highlighting Israel’s determination to protect Christian life and thanking Christian “brothers and sisters” who are “united in our love for Jerusalem” for “caring about us” and “fighting for the state of Israel.”

In his public Christmas message in English posted on Thursday, Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett wished all Christians in Israel and around the world a merry Christmas.

“From the holy city of Jerusalem, I want to wish all Christians in Israel and across the world a Merry Christmas,” Bennett began. 

He also highlighted what he described as the “common heritage” of both Jews and Christians.

“It’s here in this ancient land where our forefathers lived the stories we all read in the Bible from the Galilee to the Holy City of Jerusalem, right here,” he said. “You see, the land of Israel is the land of our common heritage, and it remains a beacon of religious freedom, tolerance, and prosperity.”

Noting the increased persecution of Christians in the region, Bennett highlighted Israel’s role in protecting Christian life there.

“In a region where Christians are routinely persecuted, there’s only one place, one country, that protects Christian life — where the Christian community is growing, thriving, and prospering — and that’s right here in the state of Israel,” he said.

Stating, “We’re brothers and sisters, and we’re all united in our love for Jerusalem and our prayers for peace,” the prime minister wished “warm greetings” from Israel’s historic capital.

“So, as you celebrate the holidays in Israel and around the world, I would like to send you all warm greetings from Jerusalem,” he said.

He concluded by expressing appreciation for Christians who support the Jewish state.

“I also want to thank you for caring about us; we know that you’re out there fighting for the state of Israel,” he said.

“I’d like to wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year,” he added.

Also on Thursday, Israeli President Isaac Herzog spoke with Pope Francis, wishing him and Christians worldwide a merry Christmas on behalf of Israel. 

“Israel is firmly committed to the wellbeing of Christian churches and communities in the Holy Land and the Middle East,” he said.

This year saw Christian populations persecuted in countries around the world despite a lack of significant media coverage, as the number of nations documenting such persecution has doubled in the past 15 years.

The Christian advocacy group Open Doors, whose ratings for Christian persecution track fairly well with the State Department’s annual Report on International Religious Freedomrevealed over 340 million Christians are facing “high levels of persecution” across the globe, equalling roughly one-eighth of the total Christian population.

In its latest annual religious freedom report, the Pew Research Center found that Christians are “the most persecuted religious group in the world,” with 153 nations reporting attacks or discrimination against them.

Omar's Anti-Islamophobia Bill Will Target India and Hindus Worldwide

Enabling Hinduphobia under the guise of protecting Islam.

 

 14 comments

Islamophobia is seemingly more important than Hinduphobia and will be explicitly used to shut down any attempt from India and Hindus to combat it, at least according to the Combating International Islamophobia Act.

This overreaching piece of legislative propaganda passed 219 to 212 votes on a party-line earlier this week in the United States, co-sponsored by Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Mogadishu).

The bill calls upon the president to appoint a ‘special envoy’ to fight ‘Islamophobia’, heading up a State department to monitor this apparent scourge. It is ostensibly created to fight efforts to ‘promote racial hatred’ against Muslims, conveniently sidestepping the logical fact that Islam is not a race and there are Muslims among people of all races.

It is yet another example of special treatment for Muslims and Islam itself, with the office now being created to record instances of Islamophobia, including violence against and harassment of Muslims and vandalism of their mosques, schools and cemeteries WORLDWIDE. Isn’t that quite something?

The office will not be localized to dealing with acts of perceived hatred against Muslims in just the US but also worldwide, including India which is clearly a target of the bill. The narrative this feeds into is that Muslims are unique, unique victims of persecution around the world, and one of the main proponents of this persecution is India, particular Narendra Modi, the RSS, the BJP, all its supporters and Hindus who cannot critique the forces, rationale and political groupthink that underpins Islamist sponsored atrocities when they occur just because the likes of Omar do not agree with them.

It is troubling indeed that the State Department isn’t as worried about violence against and harassment of Jews, Christians, and Hindus and the vandalism of their religious institutions, even though the US and the United Kingdom, for example have recently seen acts of  desecration to Hindu temples as well as abuse of Hindus in student campuses at major universities. 

It is clear that those who continue to frame Islam and Muslims as the most targeted group, race, and religion in the world do not afford the same importance towards other religions, as if their persecution is not as deserving.

Even more troubling is that this new office would target “propaganda efforts by state and non-state media to ‘promote racial hatred or incite acts of violence against Muslim people’.

But if Islam is not a race, then how can ‘racial hatred’ against Muslim people be actualized? What this really refers to is the subjective perception of such hatred, as well as any attempt to combat it by think-tank, NGO, lobby group, media house, or commentariat; and if any of those parties just happen to be aligned to the BJP, Modi, the RSS, or any left of center Indian media house, then woe betide the consequences that lay in store for them, even if their reporting of Jihad activity and, you know, real terrorism inspired by Islamic tenets, falls within honest analysis of the motivating ideology behind it.

So if India, Modi, any proud Hindu narrative dissents or critiques Islamic terrorism, it will now be directly in the firing line of this bill, the better to silence it completely. Since the definition of Islamophobia has not been specified n the bill-quite deliberately-Omar and apologists for Hinduphobia and overreaching Islamism are opening the doors for the propagation of antisemitism, hatred of Western civilizational values, and rampant Hinduphobia under the guise of protecting Islam.

India will now certainly be a target as Democrats and left leaning Modi haters have long taken the view that Modi and the BJP despise Muslims and want to erode their rights and existence to promote a ‘Hindu Rashtra’.

Islamophobia has always really been about hurt feelings, victimhood, and this bill aims to explicitly appease the feelings of those who no longer wish the harsher aspects of Islam to be critiqued; giving them free reign to wield antisemitic, anti-American, and certainly anti-India and anti-Hindu views.

Omar has shown that playing the victim card is the easiest way to shift the focus of public debate  in favor of Islamists, a careful strategy to slowly shut down criticism of Islam, its political configurations, and the views of its proponents. In doing so they will be able more easily attack India and Hindus who they feel are its key enemies.

It is a dark day indeed for democracy and free speech especially if you are an Indian and a Hindu.

When it comes to the Taliban, Nancy Pelosi is delusional

By Andrea Widburg

Showing a bizarre disassociation from facts, senility, or a feminist obsession that overrides all other things, Nancy Pelosi issued an utterly ludicrous statement on Afghanistan. Its entire focus is on women and girls. There’s no mention of the thousands or tens of thousands of men who have been and will be slaughtered in cold blood. There’s also no recognition that the Taliban is a medieval Islamic sect that believes women and girls (including little girls) belong in the home cooking for and satisfying the sexual needs of their Taliban husbands – and that’s it.

I’m printing the pertinent language from Pelosi’s statement, along with my comments.

The President is to be commended for the clarity of purpose of his statement on Afghanistan and the actions he has taken.

Pelosi is referring to a White House statement on Saturday when Kabul’s fall was imminent but before it actually happened. He stated that 5,000 troops will return to Afghanistan to get Americans and favored Afghans out of the country. Since then, the U.S. Embassy has fallen and it’s placed a notice on its website stating:

The security situation in Kabul is changing quickly including at the airport.  There are reports of the airport taking fire; therefore we are instructing U.S. citizens to shelter in place.

Also, if Americans want to leave, they will face the ultimate bureaucratic insult to people looking at the possibility that they will be captured or killed by medieval Islamists: They must fill out an online form. Without it, tough luck!

U.S. citizens wanting assistance in departing the country should register for any option that might be identified to return to the United States, and must complete this Repatriation Assistance Request for each traveler in their group.  Spouses and minor children of U.S. citizens in Afghanistan who are awaiting immigrant visas should also complete this form if they wish to depart. Please do so as soon as possible.  You must complete this form even if you’ve previously submitted your information to the U.S. Embassy in Kabul.  Do not call the U.S. Embassy in Kabul for details or updates about the flight. This form is the only way to communicate interest in flight options.

I’m sure that people sheltering in place from gunfire (with the Taliban using weapons America abandoned) are perfectly situated to go online and fill out those all-important forms.

Pelosi, though, has different priorities:

The Taliban must know that the world is watching its actions.  We are deeply concerned about reports regarding the Taliban’s brutal treatment of all Afghans, especially women and girls.  The U.S., the international community and the Afghan government must do everything we can to protect women and girls from inhumane treatment by the Taliban.

Once again, we’re seeing the administration’s bizarre belief that the Taliban care about the world’s opinion. Democrats care deeply, so much so that they govern to please “the world” before they govern to benefit Americans. The Taliban answer only to Allah, and they do so via the words of a fanatic warlord turned prophet. Those guides tell them that women exist solely to satisfy men’s lust.

Any political settlement that the Afghans pursue to avert bloodshed must include having women at the table.  The fate of women and girls in Afghanistan is critical to the future of Afghanistan.  As we strive to assist women, we must recognize that their voices are important, and all must listen to them for solutions, respectful of their culture.  There is bipartisan support to assist the women and girls of Afghanistan.  One of the successes of U.S.- NATO cooperation in Afghanistan was the progress made by women and girls.  We must all continue to work together to ensure that is not eroded. 

The Taliban don’t need a “political settlement.” They’ve won the war. As for bloodshed, they’re all in. As women and little girls are turned into sex slaves, I’m sure they’ll appreciate that Pelosi wants the Taliban to “listen to them for solutions,” all while the West is “respectful of their culture.” Defying all facts and logic, Pelosi has this delusional belief that there is some sort of gentlemanly agreement to be had with the Taliban, by which they swear to abandon the Koran’s mandates about women.

Our political leaders are clowns. They’re not even fun or funny clowns. They’re nightmare clowns from a horror movie. But this is no movie and real people will die and suffer in Afghanistan. And with radical Islam again on the move (and very successfully so), I worry that lots of us are going to die soon. I think it’s time to reinstate full security at iconic American locations that make ripe targets for terrorists.

‘Potential Terrorist' From Saudi Arabia Caught After Crossing Biden's Open Border

How long before the consequences of Biden’s open border become… explosive?

  8 comments

Governor Greg Abbott of Texas has announced that his state will be building the border wall that Biden’s handlers won’t build, and on Monday we saw yet again why this wall will come not a moment too soon: U.S. Border Patrol officials announced that a “potential terrorist” linked to “Yemeni subjects of interest” was caught in Arizona after crossing into the country from Mexico. Biden’s handlers resolutely ignore the evidence that their open border mess is a national security issue, yet that evidence just keeps on piling up.

According to Fox News,

… the 21-year-old man was apprehended Thursday night entering the U.S. from Mexico through Yuma, Arizona, according to a tweet from Yuma Sector Chief Patrol Agent Chris T. Clem. He appears to have been wearing a jacket emblazoned with an American flag patch and another that stated: ‘Central Oneida County Volunteer.’ The man is allegedly from Saudi Arabia and ‘is linked to several Yemeni subjects of interest.’

Central Oneida County is in New York; Central Oneida County Volunteer Ambulance Corps Chief Thomas Meyers said the Saudi who was apprehended is not actually a member of the organization. It’s unclear how he got the jacket, but it suggests that he may have been in the United States before.

Border Patrol officials did not explain why the man was considered a “potential terrorist,” but there is nothing implausible about the claim. Rep. John Katko (R-NY), ranking member of the House Homeland Security Committee, distributed a fact sheet in October warning that “known or suspected terrorists are crossing the border ‘at a level we have never seen before.’”

John Cohen, the Department of Homeland Security’s counterterrorism coordinator, denied this, claiming, “That just simply is not the case. It is just factually inaccurate to frame the southern border as a place where we are seeing a significant number of al-Qaida or ISIS-related terrorists or foreign terrorists.” He said that the rate of jihad terrorists crossing the border was “very low,” and “low in comparison to people who are seeking to travel to the United States through the aviation infrastructure, through the northern border.”

However, when Border Patrol chief Rodney Scott retired last August, he released a video message in which he said: “Over and over again, I see other people talk about our mission, your mission, and the context of it being immigration or the current crisis today being an immigration crisis. I firmly believe that it is a national security crisis. Immigration is just a subcomponent of it, and right now it’s just a cover for massive amounts of smuggling going across the southwest border — to include TSDBs at a level we have never seen before. That’s a real threat.” The TSDB is the Terrorist Screening Database. Scott was referring to people who are on the database crossing the practically nonexistent Biden-era Southern border.

Biden’s handlers may be trying to cover up such incidents. U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced last April that “U.S. Border Patrol agents assigned to the El Centro Sector arrested two Yemeni men within the last two months that were identified on a terrorism watch list.” However, the day after the CBP released that press release, it replaced it with an “Access Denied” notice, and it never returned. Were Biden’s handlers nervous that wide distribution of such information would expose their border policy even more than it was already exposed for the monstrous act of national betrayal that it is? Unfortunately for them, however, CBS-Los Angeles had already picked up the story, as well as Reuters and VOA.

“The first incident,” the CBP reported in its now-spiked release, “occurred on January 29, at approximately 1:10 a.m., when agents assigned to the El Centro Station arrested a man for illegally entering the United States. … Agents conducted records checks, which revealed that the man, a 33-year-old illegal alien from Yemen, was on the FBI’s Terrorism Watch List as well as on the No-Fly list.” Then on March 30, “at approximately 11:30 p.m., when agents assigned to the El Centro Station arrested a man for illegally entering the United States,” agents “conducted records checks, which revealed that the man, a 26-year-old illegal alien from Yemen, was also on the FBI’s Terrorism Watch List and on the No-Fly list.”

Now a similar incident has happened. There could be many others, but if there were, would Biden-era officials even bother to tell us? Would the sycophantic establishment media bother to investigate a story that might make a Democrat president, or even a Democrat pretend-president, look bad? Will sanity return to the border before the consequences of Biden’s open border become positively … explosive?

6 International Bad Guys Thrilled to Have Biden in Office This Year

President Joe Biden is nearing the end of his first year in office – a meaningful milestone after a year of global chaos spurred on by incoherent and sometimes seemingly deliberately counterproductive policies.

As a candidate, Biden promised voters, “America’s coming back like we used to be: ethical, straight, tell ’em the truth … supporting our allies, all those good things.” For much of the year, America’s allies have loudly complained they feel anything but supported – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky described himself more as “very unpleasantly surprised.”

But not all international actors have reason to dismay over Biden’s policies. Terrorists, guerrillas, and assorted state-actor rogues all have had reason to cheer this year. Below, six of the worst global offenders better off today thanks to Biden.

Ansarallah (the Yemeni Houthi movement)

The Houthis are a Shiite jihadist terrorist organization that triggered a civil war in Yemen by overthrowing legitimate President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi in 2015. The group is closely allied to Iran, the world’s stop state sponsor of terrorism, and its motto is “Allahu Akbar, Death to America, Death to Israel, a Curse on the Jews, Victory to Islam.” Thanks to its violent overthrow of the government and subsequent persecution of Yemeni citizens, Yemen is arguably the world’s worst humanitarian disaster today, a place where mass deaths due to malnutrition, famine, and preventable disease are common.

As one of his first moves in office, Biden delisted the Houthis as a Foreign Terrorist Organization, reportedly a friendly gesture meant to convince the group to stop blocking humanitarian aid into Yemen and starving its own people. Secretary of State Antony Blinken clarified in his statement on the matter that the Biden administration does not actually think the Houthis are not terrorists, but lying about it, the administration hopes, could result in “dialogue.”

“The revocations are intended to ensure that relevant U.S. policies do not impede assistance to those already suffering what has been called the world’s worst humanitarian crisis,” Blinken wrote.

The revocation of the designation, which allows greater unimpeded funding for the terrorists, resulted in near-immediate blocking of humanitarian aid to Yemeni citizens trapped in Houthi territory.

“Ongoing interference in international aid operations by the Houthis in Yemen has prevented millions of people from receiving the assistance they need to survive,” the State Department admitted to Breitbart News less than a month after the designation was revoked.

The little aid that gets through, the Associated Press reported at the time, the Houthis get paid to allow.

The delisting preceded not just a financial windfall for the Houthis but a whirlwind of more terrorist activity, including missile attacks on schools and a mass kidnapping of workers at the former U.S. embassy in Sana’a, the nation’s capital. The U.S. Center for Strategic and International Studies documented a doubling of Houthi attacks on neighboring Saudi Arabia in the past year.

The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC)

In a similar move, the Biden administration delisted the FARC – a narco-communist terrorist organization responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths, kidnappings, rapes, forced abortions, incidences of child soldier use, and other human rights atrocities – as a foreign terrorist organization in November. Unlike the Houthis, the FARC has embarked on a years-long process of legitimization that included the signing of a “peace deal” with the Colombian government. The deal, which won then-President Juan Manuel Santos the Nobel Peace Prize in 2016, allows the FARC to operate as a political party and fund itself with its dubious drug trafficking proceeds with little oversight. It also grants the terrorist organization uncontested seats in the Colombian Congress.

The “peace deal” has done little to reduce FARC violence in the country and preceded a record cocaine cultivation boom. The organization has thrived, however, by superficially dividing itself into political figures – the FARC proper – and guerrilla terrorists, which it has branded FARC “dissidents.” No evidence suggests that these two groups do not share common aspirations, but the Biden administration nonetheless delisted the FARC proper and rebranded the “dissidents” with the name “Second Marquetalía,” which is actually what the FARC calls its current war on the Colombian government.

Colombian President Iván Duque responded to Biden’s move with surprise and disgust.

“We would have preferred another decision,” lamented President Iván Duque, expressing surprise and confirming Washington kept him out of the loop of that decision.

“The military estimates that there are currently more than 2,700+ armed militants, 1,700+ residual forces, and another 1,000 or so in Venezuela,” Joseph Humire, the executive director of the Center for a Secure Free Society, told Breitbart News this month. “If you add this up, this means that the FARC-D [dissidents] has about 5,400 dissident fighters and is rebuilding its armed militant structure in Colombia and Venezuela … The Biden admin FARC delisting will help them fill the ranks.”

Nigeria’s Fulani Herdsmen/Boko Haram

The Biden administration inexplicably removed Nigeria from a State Department list of “Countries of Particular Concern” over religious freedom, a move that the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF), a separate government entity, said it was “appalled” by. The move occurred alongside Blinken announcing significant investments in the Nigerian government, an apparent move to compete with China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), which offers poor countries extravagant loans with high interest rates meant for infrastructure projects that later trap the country under Beijing’s influence.

Delisting Nigeria, to many religious freedom advocates, equated to ignoring the plight of Christians in the north of the country who face extreme, deadly persecution at the hands of both the Sunni jihadist Boko Haram group and the jihadist Fulani terrorists often referred to as “herdsmen.” The Nigerian government under President Muhammadu Buhari has repeatedly claimed that it has defeated Boko Haram and has taken more recently to claiming, in response to ongoing Boko Haram attacks, that the group responsible for Boko Haram attacks is actually the Islamic State (Boko Haram pledged allegiance to the Islamic State, so they are the same group). The “defeated” Boko Haram reportedly funnels as much as $43 million in clandestine funds through Nigerian banks annually, according to a Nigerian government money laundering agency, and jihadists continue to plague both local officials and Christian communities in the north of the country.

The Fulani jihadists may be an even greater threat to the free exercise of Christianity in the country. Initially described as a conflict between Fulani Muslim herders and Christian farmers over how to use land, the Fulani insurgency has taken on near-genocidal proportions with little intervention from Buhari, himself a Fulani Muslim. Fulani groups regularly threaten massacres if Christian communities do not shut down churches or remove displays of faith. Unlike Boko Haram, which is mostly relegated to northeastern Borno state, entire communities of thousands of Christians in multiple states have been displaced by Fulani attacks, greatly destabilizing the country. To ensure the few Christians who survive their attacks never return, Fulanis tend to burn down entire villages of hundreds of homes.

“There are many orphans in IDP [internally displaced people] camps and many of them don’t even know their parents, because Fulani herdsmen came and killed them,” the governor of Nigeria’s Benue state, Samuel Ortom, said on Monday. Ortom noted that he has taken in four such orphans himself, but that the number is simply too large due to the scope of the danger from Fulani jihadists.

The Buhari government has done next to nothing to address the problem, and the Biden administration rewarded it.

After hyperventilating for four years about how President Donald Trump was allegedly a Kremlin plant intent on tanking the country and rebuilding the Soviet Union, the Democrats have done little to oppose several major Biden policy decisions that actively benefit Russian leader Vladimir Putin. The largest and most obvious gift Biden has handed Putin is the repeal of sanctions imposed on the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline, which would connect Russia to Germany and give the Putin regime unfettered access to the European market – icing out key American ally Ukraine.

The move prompted a tirade from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in which he proclaimed himself “very unpleasantly surprised” and complained that he found out the sanctions would be lifted from television news, not from the White House. Zelensky also immediately demanded a meeting with Biden to discuss the issue before Biden met with Putin – a demand Biden promptly ignored.

Biden has since threatened to restore the sanctions, but only if Russia invades Ukraine – by which time, Zelensky pointedly noted this month, the sanctions “won’t matter to anyone.”

Putin has indicated he gets along very well with Biden – with policies that benefit Moscow, why wouldn’t he? – and the Kremlin was happy to offer that the two leaders joked around plenty during their last video meeting in early December.

Also greatly benefitting Putin is Biden’s extension, then sudden cancelation, of the Afghan War, resulting in key American assets no longer present near Russia and the return of the Taliban to power, now with interests aligned with Moscow.

The Taliban

After 20 years out of power – a result of its ties to the al-Qaeda jihadist organization and the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks – the Afghan Taliban triumphantly entered Kabul as then-President Ashraf Ghani stuffed a helicopter with millions of dollars in cash and flew away.

It was a victory made possible only through the bizarrely incoherent policies of President Joe Biden. Last year, the Taliban agreed to stay out of Kabul and not to attack Americans in exchange for President Donald Trump agreeing to end the 20-year Afghan War by May 1, 2021. Biden decided to break the agreement, extending the war, an extremely unpopular one in America, and giving the Taliban an excuse to break the deal. Taliban jihadists enthusiastically did so, launching 22,000 attacks in the four months following Biden breaking the agreement in April.

By August, the Afghan government no longer existed.

The Taliban is now making friends with China, Russia, and Iran; duping the United Nations by claiming to be interested in creating an “inclusive” government; and severely repressing the women and girls of Afghanistan while engaging in massacres of people suspected to have ties to the U.S. or former Afghan government. Controlling Kabul also means controlling Afghanistan’s vast natural resources, including a large supply of rare-earth metals and, of course, poppy fields for cultivating opium.

Arguably no human rights abuser has benefitted more from Biden’s presidency than the Taliban. Except…

China

The rise of a longtime business associate of the Chinese Communist Party to the presidency has come with some perks for Beijing. The Biden administration has excelled in showing diplomatic weakness in the face of a country committing the world’s worst genocide ongoing today. To Secretary of State Blinken’s credit, he has called the mass internment, sterilization, and execution of Uyghur Muslims and other minorities in China a “genocide” – just not to the face of the Communist Party.

At a disastrous meeting with senior Chinese officials in Alaska in March, Blinken instead chose to blandly agree with Chinese officials that America is the true human rights villain, echoing the grievances of the Marxist group Black Lives Matter. Chinese officials have publicly scolded Blinken like a child on several other occasions, but at least the Alaska meeting was the only one so embarrassing Chinese companies sold celebratory swag to commemorate it.

Then there are the actual policies. Biden has refused to boycott the 2022 Winter Olympics, set to take place in Beijing, over the Uyghur genocide. Worse than not boycotting, however, the Biden administration announced it would engage in what it called a “diplomatic boycott,” meaning politicians would not travel to Beijing. China pointed and laughed at the non-boycott, its state media arms observing that the diplomats in question were never invited, so they couldn’t “boycott” if they wanted to.

Despite rampant human rights abuses, intellectual property theft, and attempts to subvert free speech laws in the United States, Biden also insists on cooperating with the Chinese Communist Party on the environment, his officials repeatedly claiming that China is key to combatting climate change. The fact that China is the world’s worst polluter – in carbon emissions, in plastic waste, by almost every possible metric – seems to escape “climate czar” John Kerry, who personally benefits from business with China. In a coup for China, Biden returned the United States to the Paris Climate Agreement, which claims to aspire to limit carbon emissions but actually allows China to increase its emissions, the worst in the world, for at least another decade. With Biden in power, the Chinese government has walked back that promise, too.

Macron Denies ‘Great Replacement’ But Admits Migrant Integration Failures

French President Emmanuel Macron has denied the existence of the “Great Replacement” and claimed France is a country of immigrants, but has admitted migrant integration failures in recent decades.

The French president said he did not believe in the Great Replacement, a theory coined by writer Renaud Camus to describe the ongoing rapid demographic shifts taking place in Europe and elsewhere as elites in business and politics view human beings as interchangeable, replaceable things. The theory has become a major talking point in France in recent weeks.

“When we talk about these phenomena, it is better to first look at the figures,” President Macron told broadcaster Tf1 this week and added: “Since the end of the 19th century, we have been a nation of immigration, with part of that immigration having been integrated through work.”

“It has helped the growth of our country, to move forward. When I hear the nonsense of saying zero immigration… There has never been zero immigration, that is not true. […] I don’t believe in the Great Replacement. It’s not here,” the French president added.

Macron’s remarks were largely directed at opposition presidential candidate and conservative pundit and writer Eric Zemmour who has referenced the Great Replacement many times in the past and has called for a zero immigration policy as part of his presidential platform.

“Zero immigration will become a clear objective of our policy,” Zemmour said at his first campaign rally earlier this month in the Paris suburb of Villepinte.

President Macron did admit in his remarks, however, that migrant integration efforts in France have seen troubles in recent years, saying: “What is true is that in recent decades, we have not integrated well.”

“Our economy was not strong enough, we did not adapt our efforts to integrate, and we had a policy that consisted of building neighbourhoods where we put all the difficulties in the same place. We segregated our country. It was three mistakes, and we are in the process of gradually correcting them,” Macron said.

The French president has previously railed against so-called parallel societies in France, particularly Islamic parallel societies, and has vowed to tackle issues of separatism following the murder of teacher Samuel Paty last year.

The death of Paty, who was beheaded by a Chechen refugee Islamist radical, sparked the Macron government to vow to crack down on radical Islam in France as well as to promise to confront political Islam.

President Macron also admitted that immigration into France has increased in recent years, but blamed the phenomenon on “political crises” and people trafficking networks, saying: “The answer is not to say that there will be a Great Replacement.”

Despite the French leader’s denial of the Great Replacement, the theory has caught the attention of many in France and a recent poll released in November claimed that as much as half of the French public believes in the theory.

Illegal Alien Refugee Met With the Pope, Burned a Cathedral, Killed a Priest

Europeans and Americans are paying the price for Pope Francis’ support for illegal migration.

Fri Aug 13, 2021 

Daniel Greenfield

 76 comments

 

 

Daniel Greenfield, a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the Freedom Center, is an investigative journalist and writer focusing on the radical Left and Islamic terrorism.

Pope Francis concluded the Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy by inviting thousands of homeless from across Europe to Rome. Many of those homeless were foreign migrants. Among them was Emmanuel Abayisenga, a Rwandan migrant, the son of a man tried for genocide, who had been in France since 2012, and finally got his chance to briefly meet with the Pope.

While reporters brandished telephoto lenses and stood on chairs to capture the moment, Pope Francis clasped Abayisenga's arms. The Rwandan, toting a Nike backpack and headphones, appears, as local French clergy would later insist, to be, "fully integrated" into Europe.

He was also the model of the "socially deprived" people whom Pope Francis was looking for.

The Pope had urged convents and monasteries to open their doors to migrants and refugees.

“May every parish, every religious community, every monastery, every sanctuary of Europe, take in one family,” he insisted. Europeans should welcome migrants and Christians should not fear the “differences” of Muslims. He boasted that, “There are two parishes in the Vatican, and every parishioner has welcomed a Syrian family.”

“Those arriving in Europe now are fleeing from war or famine. And we are in some ways responsible, because we strip their lands for profit,” Pope Francis scolded Europeans.

While Pope Francis’ pro-migrant policies have been disastrous in America with illegal aliens spreading the coronavirus across the country, French Catholic institutions have been among the hardest hit by the Pope’s policy of sheltering illegal migrants like Emmanuel Abayisenga.

Last year the Nantes Cathedral, whose cornerstone had been laid in 1434, began to burn. The Grand Organ, over 400 years old, was destroyed along with historic stained glass windows.

Abayisenga had started two fires near the Grand Organ and a third near an electric panel.

The year after meeting with Pope Francis, Abayisenga began volunteering at the Nantes Cathedral. Like many other migrants, his asylum requests had been repeatedly turned down, but the Rwandan migrant continued to stay in the country with the support of the clergy.

“He was even the most protected man in Nantes at the ecclesial level: the parish, the Franciscans, the Secours Catholique supported him. Even the former bishop of the diocese, Jean-Paul James, tried to plead his case with the prefect," a local churchgoer related.

But before the fire, Abayisenga had sent a threatening email complaining that church officials hadn’t done enough for his asylum petitions to allow him to stay in France and suggesting that the cathedral was possessed by a devil that needed to be driven out. Despite that he was allowed to retain his position as a warden, tasked with locking up and unlocking the cathedral.

After the fire, it didn’t take long to figure out who had done it, for the authorities to set him loose, and for the same system harboring illegal refugees to welcome him back again despite what he had done.

Abayisenga’s lawyer claimed that he “bitterly regretted” setting the fires.

“The citizens of Nantes are still angry with him, but for the most part it is empathy that dominates now,” a Cathedral official explained.

Even though Abayisenga had already been ordered to leave France four times because his asylum requests had been repeatedly denied, he was allowed to stay while awaiting trial.

After spending a month at a mental hospital, the cathedral arsonist was released and placed in an abbey under the supervision of Fr. Olivier Maire of the Montfort Missionaries. The Rwandan spent a few months there before Fr. Maire called the police because he had tried to leave.

A few more months went by and then Abayisenga murdered Fr. Maire. The illegal migrant then turned himself in for this latest horrifying crime against those who had kindly sheltered him.

Reports say that the Rwandan illegal alien refugee beat the 60-year-old priest to death.

Abayisenga is back in a psychiatric hospital and French authorities are claiming that nothing could have been done differently despite the four deportation orders for the illegal refugee.

"I regret the unnecessary controversies," Gerald Darmanin, the country's Minister of the Interior, snippily said at a press conference. As if there were no reason for people to wonder how an illegal migrant could have remained in France for nearly a decade, despite four deportation orders, and one of the most infamous arsons in a generation, before he murdered a priest.

But there is plenty of blame to go around.

For once the killer isn’t an Islamic terrorist, but the same broken system welcomed him, harbored him, failed to enforce the law, and gave him every possible opportunity to do harm.

Even after the Nantes Cathedral arson, pro-refugee organizations regaled the media with stories about his difficult childhood growing up during the Rwandan genocide (in which his father appears to have been a perpetrator). Yet despite all that, Abayisenga was apparently able to get a college degree and a good job before deciding to head over to France.

French authorities dismissed his claims to being a refugee, but they also failed to remove him.

And the clergy who sheltered him may have had the noblest motives, but failed to exercise even the most basic common sense no matter how obvious the threat that the migrant represented.

There is a good reason why countries have borders and laws. Abayisenga is a reminder of that.

Mercy and kindness are lovely qualities, but any individual, community, country, and culture must, at the barest minimum, see to its own survival, or its compassion is a suicide pact.

Pope Francis has argued that migrant rights should be prioritized over national security. He has sneered at President Trump and border security in the United States, declaring that, “builders of walls, be they made of razor wire or bricks, will end up becoming prisoners of the walls they build.” But the alternative to living securely within your walls is that your cathedrals will be burned and your priests murdered by the migrants you allowed inside your open borders.

Europeans and Americans are paying the price for Pope Francis’ support for illegal migration.

Too many people of all religions, Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish, have become prisoners of an unbalanced rhetoric of compassion that prioritizes grandiose shows of virtue signaling over the difficult human balance between protecting ourselves and helping others. In the face of such demands, we must remember that we cannot save the world if we cannot even save ourselves.

The story of the Nantes Cathedral, of Fr. Maire, and of Abayisenga is a reminder that the price of giving endlessly to enemies, exploiters, or even the unbalanced may be a butcher’s bill.

And that is a price that no country, no culture, and no civilization can endlessly afford to pay

Now Even Science Demonstrates Islamic Aggression

Recent DNA findings concerning Turks.

Along with Islamic doctrine and history, one can now add science to the list of things that demonstrate Islamic aggression.

Ancestry.com, a company that operates a network of genealogical and historical records, and provides DNA ancestry kits, recently asserted what history already knows: most of the denizens of Turkey are not Turks but rather the descendants of Christian peoples, mostly Greeks, who lived in Anatolia well over a millennium before the Turks invaded, but converted, due to Islam’s three choices (conversion, jizya/submission, or death).

As might be expected, many Turks, who tend to be zealous over their heritage, are outraged at finding that their ancestors were not conquering Turks but conquered infidels. This finding also underscores a vicious cycle I’ve discussed before: most of those Muslims who today persecute the indigenous Christians in their midst—and Turks rank among them—are themselves the descendants of Christians who converted to Islam to cease their own persecution.

One wonders how long before DNA studies reveal another, even more unflattering fact: the bloodline of conquering Muslims—Turks chief among them—is further adulterated with the blood of European concubines, sex-slaves, many millions of which were imported over the centuries by Turks, Tatars, Barbary corsairs, and various other Muslim peoples. The historical record is clear on this.

As one example, in 1438, Bartolomeo de Giano, an Italian Franciscan, witnessed the Turks’ slave raids throughout the Balkans.  From Hungary, 300,000 were enslaved and “carried off in just a few days,” he wrote; from Serbia and Transylvania 100,000 were “led away in iron fetters tied to the backs of horses. . . . [and] women and children were herded by dogs without any mercy or piety. If one of them slowed down, unable to walk further because of thirst or pain, O Good Jesus! she immediately ended her life there in torment, cut in half.”

As one historian observes, “The massive enslavement of slavic populations during this period gave rise, in fact, to our word ‘slave’: in Bartolomeo’s time, to be a slave was to be a Slav.”

Similarly, the Greek historian, Doukas (1400-1462), writes the following about the palace of Ottoman sultan Bayezid:

[T]here one could find carefully selected boys and girls, with beautiful faces, sweet young boys and girls who shone more brightly than the sun.  To what nations did they belong?  They were Byzantines [Greeks], Serbs, Wallachians, Albanians, Hungarians, Saxons, Bulgarians, and Latins….  He himself [Sultan Bayezid] unceasingly gave himself over to pleasure, to the point of exhaustion, by indulging in debauchery with these boys and girls.

Nor, as some of these passages suggest, were European slaves used only for pleasure; Muslims regularly procreated with them as well.  Even that one Turk most celebrated by Erdogan’s Turkey—Bayezid’s great-grandson, Muhammad II, the conqueror of Constantinople—was born of a Christian slave mother.  This did not change the fact that he became an avowed enemy of Christendom—the “forerunner of antichrist” as he was described.

Moreover, as Darío Fernández-Morera, author of The Myth of the Andalusian Paradiseexplains:

Such was the impact of Christian slaves on Islamic lands, that many of the Umayyad rulers of Islamic Spain, as the sons of sexual slaves, were blue-eyed and blond or red-haired; and the founder of the “Arabic” Nasrid dynasty of Granada was called al-Hamar, “the Red One,” because of his reddish hair and beard. … Arabist Celia del Moral observes that in Umayyad al-Andalus the most coveted and therefore expensive sexual slaves were blond and red-haired females from the Northern Christian regions.

In fact, according to the calculations of Spanish Arabist Julian Ribera, due to the constant sexual intercourse with European slave women, the genetic Arab component of each generation of Umayyad rulers was reduced by half, so that the last Umayyad, Hisham II (976-1013), was approximately only 0.09 percent Arab.

Nor was this phenomenon limited to Muslim elites—caliphs, sultans, emirs, and the like—because they could afford “well-staffed” harems.  Naturally, it is they whose doings are recorded, because it is they—the rulers, not the lay Muslim—that chroniclers recorded.  Even so, history makes clear that European sex-slaves were, depending on time and place, abundantly available to the average Muslim.

Thus we learn that the slave markets of Adrianople (Edirne), formerly the Ottoman capital, were so inundated with European flesh that children sold for pennies, “a very beautiful slave woman was exchanged for a pair of boots, and four Serbian slaves were traded for a horse.”

Similarly, considering that sixteenth century “Algiers teemed with Christian captives, and it became a common saying that a Christian slave was scarce a fair barter for an onion,” little wonder by the late eighteenth century, European observers noted how “the inhabitants of Algiers have a rather white complexion.”

Will Ancestry.com or similar organizations ever demonstrate this other unflattering fact concerning Muslim bloodlines through DNA?  Unlikely.
