Paedophile Rochdale grooming gang member, 51, who got a 13-year-old girl pregnant argues he shouldn't be deported to Pakistan because his son needs a role model

22 June 2022

A member of the notorious Rochdale grooming gang has told a judge that he should not be deported back to Pakistan because his son needs a role model.

Adil Khan, 51, and Qari Abdul Rauf, 52, have been told they will be sent back to Pakistan for the good of the British public, after both were part of a gang convicted of a catalogue of serious sex offences in May 2012.

For two years from early 2008, girls as young as 12 were plied with alcohol and drugs and gang-raped in rooms above takeaway shops and ferried to different flats in taxis where cash was paid to use the girls.

Iranians Increasingly Oppose the Theocratic Dictatorship
Fri Jun 24, 2022
Dr. Majid Rafizadeh

The 1979 Iranian revolution was a repudiation of the Pahlavi dynasty’s self-serving economic policies and brutal repression of dissent. It was never intended to establish a theocratic dictatorship in place of a secular one.

Most of the factions involved in that revolution, such as the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) and People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK), envisioned a democratic future for the country. But despite their support from the vast majority of Iranian citizens, they were not ultimately able to prevent Ruhollah Khomeini from co-opting the revolution to establish a system of absolute clerical rule, with himself at its head.

Now, Khomeini’s successor is overseeing efforts to stave off a renewed push for democratic governance by insisting that opposition to the theocratic dictatorship is tantamount to endorsement of the very monarchy that was rejected by virtually all Iranians more than four decades ago.

In Europe, the Left wins by forging an unholy alliance with Islam
Giulio Meotti, Italy
23.06.22 22:44

A few weeks ago, before the Champions League final at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis, football champion Thierry Henry shocked the public by saying that "Saint-Denis is not Paris", before adding: "Believe me, not you would like to be in Saint-Denis, it's not the same as Paris".

Yet, there was a time when half the population of Seine-Saint-Denis was Breton. It was a great immigration, coming from the peninsula which has its center in Rennes, a region of oak forests and stone huts topped by long chimneys. This is the France that is disappearing.

Foreign Minister Yair Lapid hailed security cooperation with Turkey in helping foil an Iranian plot to kidnap or kill Israeli nationals in Istanbul, as he met his counterpart in Ankara for high-level talks aimed at cementing the countries’ rapprochement Thursday.

“The lives of Israeli citizens have been saved thanks to security and diplomatic cooperation between Israel and Turkiye,” said Lapid, using the country’s new official name.

June 23 2022

"I wouldn’t go to an open-air swimming pool with my three grandchildren” – says the head of all lifeguards in Germany, the President of the Association of Lifeguards, Peter Harzheim.

The PA’s priorities: Terrorist prisoners rather than cancer patients
Nan Jacques Zilberdik 
Jun 23, 2022

“The great shortage in aid to the Palestinian health sector has led to a severe shortage in medicine, and especially medicine for cancer patients,” PA Minister of Health Mai Al-Kaila stated recently at a meeting with supporters and donors to the Palestinian health sector.

Al-Kaila blamed Israel and international donors for this, stating it is “a result of the financial siege that the occupation is attempting to impose on Palestine and the shortage in international aid.”

But is that really true?
- No, it isn’t.

Is there a part of the PA budget that could have been allocated to pay for medicine for cancer patients and other things needed in the PA health sector?
- Yes, there is.

Muslim Ms. Marvel Fans Express Serious Concerns About Kamala's Power Source
Brad Lang
Yesterday 7:35 AM

Some Muslim fans of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's latest series Ms. Marvel are expressing their displeasure with the recent revelation regarding the source of Kamala Khan's powers.

As revealed in Ms. Marvel Episode 3, "Destined" the titular hero's newfound abilities are apparently due to her heritage as a Djinn. As explained by Kamran's mother Najma, Kamala's ancestors are otherworldly beings from the Noor dimensions that were banished from their reality sometime before 1942. These people are quickly explained to be the Djinn, creatures from Islamic mythology which can be both good and evil. A number of fans have expressed frustration with the reveal, specifying that the Quran condemns the practice of worshipping Djinn.

Tunisia’s president is planning to drop any reference to “Islam” in the country’s new constitution.
By 5Pillars (RMS)
2 days ago

The secularist Kais Saied is putting the constitution to a referendum on July 25 in the hope of overhauling the country’s legal, political and economic structures and granting himself more powers.

“The next constitution of Tunisia won’t mention a state with Islam as its religion, but of belonging to an Ummah which has Islam as its religion,” Saied told journalists on Tuesday. “The Ummah and the state are two different things,” he added.

Earlier in June, the head of the drafting committee said that the new constitution would not mention Islam as the religion of the state to “prevent deploying religion for political extremism.”

‘How can you ally with Kafirs? You will burn in Jahannam fire’: Ex-Muslim man narrates threats he received after ‘Ghar Wapsi’ to Hinduism
24 June, 2022

Hindi daily Dainik Bhaskar has obtained a recording of a phone conversation wherein a woman is heard persuading Shaikh Jafar Qureshi, an ex-Muslim to turn back to Islam. The 46-year-old Qureshi renounced Islam and accepted Hinduism in the Mandasaur district of Madhya Pradesh on May 27, 2022.

Qureshi was given the initiation to Hinduism by performing ritual worship by Mahamandaleshwar Swami Chidambaranand Saraswati at the Pashupatinath temple. From May 28 Shaikh Jafar Qureshi was known by his new name Chetan Singh Rajput.

In the telephonic conversation, the girl attempted to convince Qureshi to reaffirm his commitment to Islam. She rebuked Shaikh Jafar Qureshi aka Chetan Singh Rajput for allying with the ‘Kafirs'(non-Muslims). She claimed that Qureshi was convinced to convert to Hinduism with the sole intention of demeaning Muslims.

Imam raped and sexually assaulted schoolgirl in mosque
By Jason Evans
24 JUN 2022

A respected imam raped a young girl in a mosque after luring her into a quiet area by asking her to accompany him to the library. Khandaker Mohammed Rahman pushed the child into a washroom and attacked her but the girl - who was described as coming from a "devout Muslim family" - did not report the matter at the time.

Rahman went on to sexually assault the girl, who was aged under 13, on further occasions by touching her breasts and bum when she visited the mosque.

Swansea Crown Court heard the offences happened in a mosque in south Wales in 2005, but it was not until 2018 that the victim told her husband about what had happened and the matter was reported to the police. The defendant was subsequently arrested at Heathrow Airport.

Indonesia nightlife chain Holywings accused of blasphemy after using ‘Muhammad’ in marketing campaign
Anne Grace Savitha
9h ago

PETALING JAYA, June 24 — Indonesian nightlife chain Holywings has issued an apology after backlash over what has been regarded as a blasphemous marketing campaign using the name Muhammad.

In the now-deleted post, Holywings promised a bottle of Gordon’s dry gin for men named Muhammad while women who are named Maria would get a bottle of Gordon’s Pink Gin every Thursday, reported Coconuts Jakarta.

Although Maria is an important figure in both the Bible and the Quran, the outrage was centred on the use of the name Muhammad, who is the last prophet in Islam.

Afghanistan’s Taliban crack down on vloggers
Daily News (via HT Media Ltd.)
Yesterday 5:00 PM

Well known for his YouTube channel and modeling shows – appeared in a very different kind of broadcast. Taliban officials arrested Haqiqi and his three colleagues and released a video showing the men, with bruised faces and clearly under duress, apologizing for encouraging “prostitution” and “insulting verses of the Quran.”

On May 28, the four had posted a YouTube video in which they recited Quranic verses in Arabic in a comical tone. Within a week, the Taliban’s General Directorate of Intelligence (GDI) had detained them.

“We have been promoting Western culture and values, and for this I apologize,” Haqiqi said in his evidently scripted “confession.”
