A teenage ISIS supporter allegedly plotted to travel to Chicago with two others during spring break and kill worshipers at a Shia Muslim mosque, according to federal court records unsealed Friday.

“If they had not encountered law enforcement at that point, they would continue on to another Shia mosque or Jewish synagogue and execute the same plan,” one filing states. “They did not have a plan to escape but rather their plan ended with them being shot by law enforcement.”

Xavier Pelkey, 18, was arrested in February by FBI agents in Waterville, Maine, and charged with possession of unregistered destructive devices.

The Arab World Isn't Just Silent on China’s Crackdown on Uighurs. It's Complicit
MARCH 24, 2022 4:47 PM
BY BRADLEY JARDINE

As China deepens relations with Saudi Arabia in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the Uighur diaspora finds itself in the crosshairs. Riyadh is preparing to deport two Uighurs back to China’s western province of Xinjiang, where they will almost certainly be detained for “re-education” in its vast network of concentration camps for the region’s Turkic inhabitants. Uighurs in Xinjiang face human rights violations ranging from arbitrary detention and torture to sexual assault and forced sterilization.

Saudi Arabia, a key ally of China in the Arab world, has shown support for Beijing’s crackdown on Uighur culture in the past. During a 2019 visit to China, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the country’s de facto ruler, told his hosts: “We respect and support China’s rights to take counter-terrorism and de-extremism measures to safeguard national security.” Saudi Arabia further endorsed China’s Xinjiang policies in two joint letters to the United Nations in 2019 and 2020.

UN Foists ‘International Day to Combat Islamophobia’ on the World Placing Islam on a pedestal.
Fri Mar 25, 2022
Raymond Ibrahim

It’s official: The United Nations, following the Muslim world’s lead, has formally accepted the concept of “Islamophobia,” a move that will undoubtedly further paralyze any measures against Islamic aggression, or, in a word, jihad.

On March 15, 2022, the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution to mark that date, March 15, as “the International Day to Combat Islamophobia.”

The resolution was introduced by Pakistan, and supported by 55 Muslim-majority countries of the Riyadh-based Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), which is also trying to get the UN to accept “blasphemy” laws.

Last week, it was announced that movie called The Kerala Story by Vipul Amrutlal Shah and Sudipto Sen is in the making and will be released soon.

The issue had been brought to light by the National Commission for Women Chairperson, Rekha Sharma in 2017 when she said that the situation is Kerala is alarming as it is not just religious conversion but also organised human trafficking that is taking place. I have asked the DGP of the state to look into the role of some organisations, their source of funding as these are playing a big role in forceful conversions, she also said.

Germany: Muslim beheads homeless man partly because he feared that the Christian faith would be inserted into him like a hard drive

In the trial for the killing and beheading of a homeless man in Lower Bavaria, several witnesses were heard on Friday.
March 26 2022

Pleadings were also to be held. The defendant before the Deggendorf Regional Court is a 22-year-old who allegedly killed a fellow resident in a homeless shelter in July 2021 with at least 111 stab wounds and decapitated the body. The prosecution accuses him of murder. The trial is about the Somali’s placement in a psychiatric ward. He is said to have been in a state of criminal incapacity.

Two therapists reported several conversations with the accused. He had told different versions of the crime, sometimes expressing surprise that his victim had died, and sometimes saying that his flatmate had asked him to kill him. The accused had told of voices in his head and of statues standing behind him and staring at him. He was also afraid that the Christian faith would be inserted to him like a hard drive.

Maulvi claiming his people are peaceful reminds how Muslims ruled Hindus for 800 years, demands ban on The Kashmir Files
27 March, 2022

The Vivek Agnihotri-directorial movie ‘The Kashmir Files’, based on the true stories of the Kashmiri Pandit genocide, has become the latest sensation in the country. As the nation remembers the horrific terror unleashed on the innocent Hindus in Kashmir, there are sections of alleged Indians unhappy with the movie, who are now busy vilifying and issuing threats to the filmmakers for showing the true face of Kashmiri Muslims, who led the killings of Kashmiri Hindus in the valley in the 1990s.

Posted by Neil Rose

A Bar Standards Board (BSB) panel applied too low a threshold in sanctioning a barrister for a tweet about Muslims that it said would cause offence, a tribunal has ruled.
