Anti-Semitic Imam expelled from France
July 28, 2022

The shock must have been great. Hassan Iquioussen, who has lived in northern France for decades but does not have French citizenship, applied this winter for an extension of a ten-year residence permit that was now expiring. In his eyes, a mere formality.

Hassan Iquioussen, considered a close confidant of the Musulmans de France (formerly Union des organisations islamiques en France), the French branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, has never been seriously troubled despite his unequivocal positions in favour of radical Islam, not to mention a serious anti-Semitic lapse many years ago. From his home in Lourches, near Valenciennes, he posted videos on his YouTube channel that were viewed by tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of followers

Iran’s regime slaughters over 1,700 dogs in shelter, sparking outrage 
By BENJAMIN WEINTHAL   
Published: JULY 29, 2022 02:06

The state’s clergy consider dogs to be dirty and recently cracked down on pet owners in Tehran, with police declaring that walking dogs in parks was a criminal offense.

The Islamic Republic of Iran brutally killed over 1,700 stray dogs in a shelter, according to video footage posted on Twitter by Iranian journalists and human rights experts.

"The [Ali] Khomeinist regime's main reason for incessant killing and promoting the culture of cruelty to animals is another way of depriving the Iranian people of joy or comfort that animals bring to humans. It's the old-fashioned irrational methods of control imposed by the authorities in the USSR or the Chinese Communist Party," Iranian-American journalist and human rights expert Banafsheh Zand told The Jerusalem Post on Thursday.

Children in Houston sing religious anthem associated with Iranian regime
By TZVI JOFFRE 
Published: JULY 29, 2022 12:15

The song is primarily addressed to a messianic figure in Shi'ite belief, but it also addresses the supreme leader of Iran.

Shi'ite children in Houston, Texas were seen in a video shared by Iranian media singing a song often used as a sort of religious anthem that also supports the Islamic Republic of Iran while wearing headbands, waving flags and saluting. The children sang the song in English and Persian.

The song, Salam Farmande (Hello Commander), was first published last year in Iran by a group called "Mah" (an abbreviation of the "Nation of Imam Hosayn" in Persian).

EU Funds Islamists Saudi Arabia and Emirates Abandoned
By Dexter Van Zile
July 28, 2022

The European Union and numerous other government institutions in the continent are promoting Islamism by funding charities with roots in the Muslim Brotherhood. In so doing, officials are supporting a movement that prominent leaders in the Middle East have abandoned. They are also supporting a movement that poses serious threats to civil society in Europe, including “the hindering of the integration of minorities, inciting conflict between ethnic groups, fostering hatred, and incubating terrorism,” declares a report publicized in July by the Switzerland-based Global Influence Operations Report (GIOR).

GIOR investigates “non-transparent” attempts to influence public opinion in democracies by state actors such as Turkey, or transnational organizations such as the Muslim Brotherhood. GIOR’s recent report, which focuses on organizations founded or led by activists from the Muslim Brotherhood, dubbed the “Global Muslim Brotherhood (GMB),” states that governmental entities have given approximately €80 million to such organizations since 2004.

Nasheed's brother, Nazim arrested for homosexuality
Jul 28, 2022

Parliament Speaker and former President of the Maldives Mohamed Nasheed's brother, Nazim Abdul Sattar, has been arrested over leaked homosexual videos.

A few weeks ago, videos of a man alleged to be Nazim engaging in sexual relations with a 25-year-old Bangladeshi national, MD Alamgiri, were leaked on social media platforms. Nazim was summoned to the police and questioned regarding the video, and his passport was later withheld in connection to the case.

Similar videos of several other people engaging in sexual acts with the same Bangladeshi man were leaked one after the other, including a 30-minute clip of a Drug Enforcement Department police officer. The police have been investigating the case and recently concluded the preliminary stage of the investigation. As per the police, enough evidence to incriminate those seen in the videos has been collected, and a special operation has been launched to arrest those involved in the videos. The police said a 35-year-old local man and a 45-year-old local man were arrested in the operation.

Iranian Teen Girl Honored Killed by Father For "Laughing with Boy at Park"
June 29 2022

An honor-based family murder in a small town in the Fars province of Iran has once again sparked debates on the lack of laws to prevent “honor-killing” in Iran.

On June 27, the father of Ariana Lashkari shot the sixteen-year-old girl in the chest with a hunting rifle for allegedly laughing with a boy at a park, which he considered a disgrace to the family

A relative of the young girl revealed that Ariana wanted to live without restrictions and fled to her paternal grandmother’s home after a heated argument with her father.

Mohammad-Kazem Lashkari confessed that after their dispute, his daughter left the house and went to his mother’s abode. He then went there with his shotgun to scare her and shot her in a moment of uncontrolled rage. He contended that it was not his intention to kill his daughter.

Hamas raises taxes in Gaza Strip (While unemployment is 50%)
07-28-2022 10:58am

Gaza's Hamas rulers have imposed a slew of new taxes on imported clothes and office supplies just ahead of the new school year, sparking limited but rare protests in the impoverished coastal strip.

The move comes at a time when Gaza's 2.3 million people are suffering not only from a 15-year Israeli-Egyptian blockade, but also from a new jump in prices caused by global supply-chain issues and the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

A list by the Ministry of Economy includes planned taxes on items like packaged nuts, with an import tariff of 2,000 shekels (nearly $600) per ton. In the past, nuts were imported tax free. The tariff on a ton of toilet paper rose from $90 to $580. The taxes are set to go into effect on Aug. 1.

Taliban leader calls for «full» implementation of ‘sharia’ in Afghanistan
Newsroom - Yesterday 03:40

Ajundzada stressed during the meeting "the importance of the Islamic system and its protection", while stating that "the Islamic system (in Afghanistan) was born with the blessing of many sacrifices, exhaustion and martyrdom of the people". "We protected the struggle of jihad against dozens of occupying countries," he stressed.

Thus, he indicated that "if (the occupation) had continued for 40 years, the struggle would have continued until all the invaders had been defeated and left the country crestfallen". Ajunzada also criticized that "during the last 20 years there has been a lot of propaganda against the Islamic system and the 'sharia'", in reference to the period between the expulsion of the Taliban from power in 2001 and their return to Kabul in August 2021.

Austria: Only 4.4 % of Austrians Receive social assistance, but 78.5 % of Syrians do
July 28 2022

In Vienna, a massive imbalance between nationalities can be seen in social assistance. While only 4.4 percent of Austrian citizens receive social assistance, 78.5 percent of Syrians and 71.6 percent of Somalis do.

The report on migration and integration just published by Family Affairs Minister Susanne Raab (ÖVP) is full of sobering figures. eXXpress already reported on the high unemployment of Syrian and Afghan women as well as the alarming gaps in the education of children with a migration background. Currently, asylum applications from Afghans to Austria have tripled.
78.5 per cent of Syrians living in Vienna receive social assistance, 71.6 per cent of Somalis. Afghans (59.6 %), Iraqis (53.7 %) and nationals of the Russian Federation/Chechnya (37.8 %) are also among the most frequent recipients. Austrians born in Austria receive social assistance least often, at 4.4 %, and citizens of the former Yugoslavia are also rather rare recipients of social assistance, at 5.6 %.

Israeli hurt in fatal Sinai crash claims Egyptians mistreated group, withheld help
29 July 2022, 11:39 pm

One of the Israeli tourists injured in a deadly traffic collision in Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula claimed Friday that local medics initially refused to treat the Israelis at the scene and demanded they pay upfront for an ambulance to transfer them to Israel.

Two Israelis were killed and five injured when a taxi van carrying youth counselors returning from a beachside vacation smashed into another car while speeding toward the Taba border crossing Thursday.

“The treatment of the Egyptians was very bad,” said Na’ama Banon, one of the seven Jerusalem boarding school counselors who were in the taxi van.

PA recruits and trains 100’s of child terrorists
Maurice Hirsch, Adv. 
Jul 29, 2022

*Every summer the PA trains and recruits hundreds of would-be child terrorists

*Shamefully, the UN ignores the child abuse

*But when child terrorists are killed carrying out acts of terror, the UN attacks Israel for defending its citizens

The 2022 summer-time Palestinian Authority abuse of Palestinian children and its process of recruiting them as child terrorists has started. At “the Buds of Construction and Liberation” summer camp, run by Fatah’s Central Hebron branch, hundreds of Palestinian children had individual pictures taken holding AK-47 rifles. The Fatah branch uploaded multiple photo albums of these pictures to its Facebook page.

Jerusalem was never mentioned nor once referred to in the PLO Charter of 1964
By Peter Baum
Published on July 30, 2022

Jerusalem was never mentioned nor once referred to in the PLO Charter of 1964. Let me repeat. When the Palestinians wrote their original Charter in 1964 there was no mention of nor claim to the city they now promote as being theirs by right since time immemorial. This is yet further proof beyond doubt that the Palestinian claim to Jerusalem is a lie.

I am returning to this subject once again as I am of the firm conviction that repeating this truth is one of the most powerful weapons intellectually available to counteract the pro-Palestinian industry.

There is a popular but false narrative currently used to delegitimize the Jewish State of Israel. The narrative which through weight of global propaganda, ignorance and simple Jew hatred claims that Israel is an illegitimate colonial power and the geography ‘occupied’ by Israel belongs to the Palestinians legally, historically and religiously. Such revisionism is easily debunked and paradoxically exposes that supporting the Palestinian religious claims are Islamophobic.
