"The terrorist attacks and intimidation will continue, but the postmodern technological societies will consider themselves so strong, their capacity for cultural absorption so extensive, that nothing will prevent them from believing that they can also assimilate the terrorist act as is already done with car accidents. and natural disasters. The most likely scenario will be one in which nothing happens and everything continues like this, with the internal fracture of the West, the birth of two parallel societies, the continuous debasement of culture, up to its irrelevance.

"We will entrench ourselves even further behind our illusory Maginot lines, distracting ourselves with the psychodramas of America’s racism in Ferguson, the correct spelling in gender identity documents, bathrooms for transsexuals and celebrity gossip. Radical Islam knows that as long as it avoids another great massacre such as 9/11, it can continue to take away some human lives and undermine the West without waking it from sleep”.

How the unwarranted hounding of Nupur Sharma would shrink the space for dissent in India
8 June, 2022

“Dissent is the safety valve of democracy”, the next-in-line Chief Justice of India, DY Chandrachud, famously said during his speech in Gujarat in February 2020. But the space for that dissent appears to be rapidly shrinking, spurred by the unwarranted and deplorable hounding of former BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma for her comments on Prophet Muhammad.

Islamists, not just in India but around the world, are baying for the blood of Nupur Sharma because she refused to take the insults and barbs hurled at Shivling discovered inside the wuzukhana of the Gyanvapi mosque lying down and chose to confront the detractors with the same irreverence, albeit by quoting their religious scriptures, that they displayed against Hindu Gods and Goddesses.

Her decision to stand up for her faith proved catastrophic for her political career and mental peace after AltNews co-founder Mohammed Zubair dog-whistled about her comments to the rabid Islamists, setting off a chain of events that culminated in a continuous volley of threats directed at Sharma and a diplomatic fallout in the Persian Gulf, with many Islamic countries having an abject record of religious freedom themselves rushing to criticise her comments and sanctimoniously seeking an explanation from India.

Hate Crime or Shakedown for Money?
Jun 8, 2022
Robert Spencer

It’s hard to imagine sometimes that these people even believe the line they’re pushing on us. If you are willing to believe the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), “Islamophobia” is so rampant, so out of control in our once-green and pleasant land that Muslim children can’t even stop by their local McDonald’s for a sandwich without falling victim to the dastardly pranks of Muslim-haters who were just waiting, and watching, and biding their time for their chance to humiliate an unsuspecting Mohammedan lad. Or maybe CAIR is just looking to shake down a massive corporation that doesn’t want any bad publicity. You be the judge.

It all started, according to a Wednesday Associated Press story, when a hijab-wearing Muslim woman, Ghadir Alahmar, walked into a McDonald’s with her twin seven-year-old sons. Alahmar “ordered a plain fish sandwich,” and thoughtfully “had one of her children repeat the order to a worker in case they did not understand her accent.”

UN official, activists say slain terrorist another 'Palestinian journalist killed' by IDF
By MICHAEL STARR   
Published: JUNE 6, 2022

Ghufran Warasneh, who had been shot by IDF troops on Wednesday when she allegedly approached them brandishing a knife, was characterized by UN Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territory Francesca Albanese and Palestinian activists as being "another journalist killed" by Israel last week.

"The news of another Palestinian journalist killed, hits with deep sorrow," tweeted Albanese. She called for journalists to be respected and not harmed, and to actively ensure that they were protected. "Condemning the death of a prominent journalist while glossing over the rest, breeds impunity."

The tweet was later deleted, according to Albanese, accidentally.

Twitter Germany blocks tweet of Austrian government politician regarding asylum seekers
June 7 2022

Austria “suffers” from the second highest burden of asylum applications in the EU: Austrian People’s Party (ÖVP) Secretary General Laura Sachslehner was sharply criticised for this tweet. Now Twitter has even blocked her posting in Germany because it violates the legislation there.

In terms of domestic politics, it was the stir of the weekend: “A total of 16,000 asylum applications have already been filed this year,” Sachslehner tweeted on Whit Monday. “The vast majority of asylum seekers come from Afghanistan and Syria. Austria thus suffers from the second highest per capita burden of asylum applications in the EU.” Especially the word “suffering” caused sharp criticism, especially from the Green coalition partner – eXXpress reported.

By Astha Singh

In an exclusive, Republic Media Network has accessed the Mysore Archaeological Department's 1935 report amid the raging Mandir-Masjid row in Karnataka. The report notes that Tipu Sultan demolished the Anjaneya Mandir and built Jamia Masjid after filling up the ground floor of the temple structure.
"Jumma masjid was constructed by Tipu Sultan on top of the Anjaneya temple after filling up latter's ground floor," the report stated.

As per the report, Tipu Sultan constructed a temple over the Hanuman temple. Also, when he was the ruler of Mysore and Srirangapatna, he demolished several temples and built mosques. Republic also accessed the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) letter that was published in 2004 which originated from the Mysore Archaeological Department's 1935 report.

In the letter, the ASI opposed the running of Madrassa in the masjid premises as it was illegal. It stated that the Waqf board was running it illegally since 1979. The Hindu organisation also demanded the closure of Madrassas at the site and other activities like cooking, etc.

Who is fanning the flames for religious war? Abbas’ advisor!
Nan Jacques Zilberdik and Itamar Marcus 
Jun 7, 2022

* “The occupation wants to change its [Jerusalem’s] identity and character so that it will be a city without the Al-Aqsa Mosque and without the Dome of the Rock”

* The Palestinian people is “not defending only its existence in Jerusalem and only the Al-Aqsa Mosque, but also Islam, the Quran, and the entire Islamic nation”

At the International Conference for Jerusalem and the Al-Aqsa Mosque (organized by the Directorate of Religious Affairs in Ankara, Turkey), PA Chairman Abbas’ Advisor on Religious Affairs and Islamic Relations and PA Supreme Shari’ah Judge Mahmoud Al-Habbash repeated the libel that Israel seeks to harm all Muslims by destroying Islam’s 3rd holiest place, the Al-Aqsa Mosque, as well as the Dome of the Rock. He also made clear that for the PA, the conflict with Israel is not one over land and territory but is religious.

Al-Habbash described the duty of the Palestinian people, which is to “defend” not only itself, Jerusalem, and the Al-Aqsa Mosque but nothing less than “Islam, the Quran, and the entire Islamic nation” from Israeli dangers:
“Jerusalem is in the most complicated and difficult situation in its history, as the occupation (i.e., Israel) wants to change its identity and character so that it will be a city without the Al-Aqsa Mosque and without the Dome of the Rock… Our people is not defending only its existence in Jerusalem and only the Al-Aqsa Mosque, but also Islam, the Quran, and the entire Islamic nation.” Official PA daily Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, May 22, 2022

Kansas woman who led female ISIS battalion in Syria pleads guilty
By Holmes Lybrand
Updated 2:53 PM ET, Tue June 7, 2022

A female ISIS fighter from Kansas who led and trained a unique battalion of over 100 women and children in Syria pleaded guilty in an Alexandria, Virginia, courthouse Tuesday to conspiring to provide support to the terrorist global organization.

Allison Elizabeth Fluke-Ekren, who studied biology at the University of Kansas, traveled to Syria around 2012 to wage a violent jihad, after living in Libya, Turkey and Egypt, working with another terrorist group, Ansar al-Sharia, according to the plea agreement. She joined ISIS with her second husband, who led a group of ISIS snipers in the country and later died in 2016 from an airstrike.
While in Syria, Fluke-Ekren led a group of over 100 female ISIS fighters -- some of whom were as young as 10 at the time -- training them to use AK-47s, grenades and suicide belts. During Tuesday's hearing, Fluke-Ekren claimed she wasn't aware that some of the female fighters she was training were minors at the time, saying that "we didn't intentionally train any young girls."

Nigeria’s Christians are relentlessly under attack
8 June 2022
Kunwar Khuldune ubgone19

Dozens of Christian worshippers, including several children, were killed in a gun raid on a church in Nigeria’s Owo town on Sunday. Initial estimates place the death toll at around least 70 parishioners but that number is set to rise, given that the church in question, St Francis Catholic Church, has one of the largest parishes in the southwestern state of Ondo.

Nigeria is experiencing an epidemic of terror attacks. Over the last six months, gunmen have killed 48 in the northwestern Zamfara state, massacred over 100 villagers in Plateau state, and raided trains and buses leaving dozens dead and hundreds missing. At least 3,000 Nigerians were killed and 1,500 abducted in the first quarter of 2022 alone, according to the Nigeria Security Tracker.

Most of the recent attacks are carried out by ‘bandits’: local militants that are currently spearheading Nigeria’s abduction spree. However, just as local kidnapping gangs have borrowed Boko Haram’s modus operandi to abduct schoolchildren, various militants are increasingly following the jihadist rulebook to spread terror in Nigeria.
