der of an critic of Islam in Germany
May 17 2022

The Federal Prosecutor’s Office has requested a prison term of from four to twelve years against five suspected Tajik IS terrorists. This was announced by the Düsseldorf Higher Regional Court on Tuesday. The trial against the alleged terrorist cell of the “Islamic State” (IS) in Germany began there a year ago. The accused all lived in North Rhine-Westphalia – most recently in Essen, Kreuztal, Neuss, Selfkant and Siegen. They are between 25 and 34 years old.

In their indictment, the Federal Prosecutor’s Office had accused the suspected Islamists, among other things, of planning an assassination attempt on an critic of Islam in Neuss. The murder of the Youtube channel administrator is said to have been narrowly prevented by the intervention of a special unit. However, the Federal Prosecutor’s Office had only raised the charge of preparing a terrorist attack against one of the defendants in the pleadings. According to the prosecution, a semi-automatic weapon with a removed serial number and a silencer was to be used for the murder. When the weapon was handed over, a special unit had intervened.

Facebook Censors Persecuted Christians
While giving Muslim hate speech an open platform.
Wed May 18, 2022
Raymond Ibrahim

Facebook is at it again—censoring the (Christian) victims of violence and sexual abuse while covering up for their (Muslim) abusers.

A few months ago, I wrote about how Facebook had variously “punished” and censored me for writing about the Muslim persecution of Christians.  The only explanation the “social media giant” gave was that I had offended its “standards.”

If there were still any ambiguity as to Facebook’s true motivation, consider the following story which was reported by ReMix earlier this year:

A French-Catholic Humanitarian Tells His Story of Islamist Captivity in Iraq
Edward Pentin
Interviews
May 18, 2022

ROME — In January 2020, Alexandre Goodarzy was bundled into the back of a car in the Iraqi capital of Baghdad along with three other colleagues belonging to SOS Chrétien d’Orient, a French-based charity helping people in disaster areas requiring humanitarian aid.

Fearing for their lives, the four Catholic charity workers were held captive by Islamists for 66 days, during which they were threatened with execution, dragged from hideout to hideout, and psychologically tortured.

In this May 16 interview with the Register, Goodarzy recounts the terror of that ordeal, how his faith helped him through it, and why it was, ironically, the coronavirus that rescued them. He also explains what motivated him to work to defend persecuted Christians in Syria and how the country’s people are dealing with continued hardship today.

Coptic Christian Pope Condemns Attacks on ‘Religious Groups’
Without identifying them -- or their persecutors.
Thu May 19, 2022
Raymond Ibrahim

You know the situation of Egypt’s Coptic Christian minority is unenviable when their otherwise notoriously diplomatic pope starts to speak up.

From the start of his papacy in 2012, Pope Tawadros II of Alexandria made clear that he was not his predecessor, Pope Shenouda III, a man who always seemed to call it as he saw it—so much so as to be placed under house arrest for years by former President Sadat.

Far from having a strained relationship with the president of Egypt, Tawadros is seen as a close ally of President al-Sisi.  The two often appear standing beside one another, shaking hands, and/or embracing.

Germany: Berlin police may no longer report attacks on Jews and gays
May 17 2022

The Berlin government likes to pretend that it is particularly friendly to minorities. But in future, when attacks against Jews and homosexuals take place, the police will no longer be allowed to report them to associations that help the victims. The data protection commissioner ensures this.

In future, the Berlin police may not transmit data on assaults to victim support institutions and counselling centres – because of data protection. This is what the data protection commissioner of the Berlin law enforcement agencies has decreed, as reported by the newspaper Berliner Zeitung. His reasoning in a memo seems absurd: “In order to prevent re-identification”, the information transmitted must not describe the crime, nor the place, for example the street, the time of the crime or the age of those involved.

Nine dead bodies of young school children have been deposited at the Armed Forces Hospital in Kano state, North Central Nigeria following a blast at a private school in Sabon Gari community on Tuesday.

Sabon Gari is a community in Kano State, the commercial capital of the northern Nigeria state.

According to the National Emergency Management Agency, NEMA, the explosion is suspected to have come from a gas cylinder at a welding shop near the school.

However, community members told newsmen that a gas cylinder explosion from a welding shop near the school can not bring down a building so massive as a school in the community.

For German courts, Islamist assassins are mentally ill, only right-wing extremist perpetrators are considered punishable by law
May 19 2022

Gabriele Tilmann, senior public prosecutor in Munich, has warned against automatically inferring religious motives when perpetrators of violence shout “Allahu Akbar”. Referring to the attack in Würzburg, she said: “During the attack, the man shouted ‘Allahu Akbar’. But even that does not necessarily point to an Islamist background,” she told the magazine Der Spiegel.

Experts later came to the conclusion that the perpetrator was mentally ill. At that time, a man of Somali origin had stabbed women indiscriminately in a department store in Würzburg. Three of the victims died, five were seriously injured.

Muslim parents have protested against Ryders Green Primary in West Bromwich after the school served children pork instead of vegetarian sausages for their lunch.

Angry parents took to the school gate to demand the Claypit Lane school explain the "mix up" as pork, which is banned in the Quran, was served to children at the school where around 70 percent of pupils are Muslims.

Pakistani Man from Minority Ahmadi Community Stabbed to Death Over Faith
May 18 2022

A 35-year-old Pakistani man belonging to the minority Ahmadi community has been stabbed to death by a religious fanatic over his faith in the country's Punjab province, the police said on Wednesday.

Pakistan's Parliament in 1974 declared the Ahmadi community as non-Muslims. A decade later, they were banned from calling themselves Muslims. They are banned from preaching and from travelling to Saudi Arabia for pilgrimage.

The latest incident took place in Okara district, some 130 km from here, on Tuesday. Abdul Salam, a member of the minority Ahmadi community, was brutally stabbed to death by "religious fanatic" Hafiz Ali Raza apparently because of his faith, senior police officer Muhammad Saddique told PTI.

Updated: May 18, 2022 1:39 p.m.

CAIRO (AP) — An Egyptian court is asking the country’s top mufti, the highest religious authority for Islam, to weigh in on the case of a man accused of stabbing to death a Coptic Christian priest, the leading judge in the trial announced Wednesday.

A decision from Grand Mufi Shawky Allam on whether the suspect should be given the death penalty and executed is a non-binding opinion, but it can significantly influence the court’s ruling.

David Harding
8 hrs ago

The moment Nas Mohamed knew for certain he was gay, he panicked.

“I walked into a gay club and I knew I was 100 per cent gay,” he tells The Independent. “I went home and cried, I thought my life is in crisis. I thought I was going to go to hell, my life is damned.

“That was the main thing. And then I thought about the risk of anyone finding out. I genuinely feared I would be killed if anyone knew.”

Nas, 35 this month, is Qatari.

Cultural Differences Keep Pakistani Women Cricketers Behind Foreigners: Fatima Sana
By Imad Ali Jan
Published May 19, 2022

Pakistan’s emerging all-rounder, Fatima Sana, has said that they are working hard on improving their fitness but due to the cultural differences, they are far behind their foreign counterparts.

While speaking to the media ahead of the Sri Lanka series, Sana said, “I have observed that we are behind them in terms of fitness. We also work on our fitness but their level is different from ours, maybe due to cultural differences.”

While answering a question regarding her experience with other foreign players in the Fairbreak Invitational in Dubai, the bowling all-rounder said, “They keenly take care of their diet and I saw it during this league. We always try to learn from them.”
