Why is it Okay to Blame Right-Wing Culture Warriors for the Oslo Attack but not Radical Islam?
BY KATHRINE JEBSEN MOORE
 28 JUNE 2022 7:00 AM

This year, more than ever before, Norwegians are celebrating Pride with a gusto that I haven’t seen before, even here in the UK, and the focus seems to be increasingly on children, with ‘Mini-Pride’ in Oslo presented by a popular children’s TV character. Trans ideology is now being taught in Norwegian schools, free rainbow backpacks are being handed out to children as young as five, and, on the horizon, yet more liberal laws are on the way that will do away with the two gender-model and introduce a third legal gender, not to mention the forthcoming ban on ‘conversion therapy‘. There’s been a lot going on, and hurtful words have been thrown by both sides in the debate: the wokesters claiming ‘far right’ culture warriors are using children to disguise their own homophobia, and arguing Pride is just about love and acceptance, whereas those of us on the other side have pointed to the intolerance of trans activists (such as when feminist Christina Ellingsen was reported to the police for claiming men can’t become women and had to endure four hours of questioning by police), the denial of biological sex and exposing children to ideas and imagery they’re not ready for.

TRT World declared that there would be no Shakespeare without Islam, this is how they are wrong
30 June, 2022

Recently, conjectures about supposed Islamic references in Shakespeare’s works have been made by commentators from the Middle East. This includes the latest assertion by Turkish state media portal TRT World, in which a commentator Nadia Khan absurdly claimed in her latest piece “The centrality of the Muslim world to Shakespeare’s work” that there would have been ‘no Shakespeare’ were it not for Islam.

Earlier in 1989, Libyan dictator Moammar Gaddafi claimed that Shakespeare was an Arab by origin whose real name was “Sheikh Zabir.” Kadir Mısıroğlu, a Turkish writer has earlier claimed in an interview that the original name of the English Playwright is “Sheikh Pir” and he was secretly a Muslim.

American Conservative Magazine, National Review has published a rebuttal to the Islamist claims of appropriating Shakespeare as an ‘Arab’ or a ‘Muslim’. AJ Caschetta, a principal lecturer at the Rochester Institute of Technology has written has presented a watertight argument against the recent claims of Shakespeare having a Muslim influence on him.

'Anyone Who Touches the Prophet, No Punishment -- Just Kill!'
Jun 30, 2022
Raymond Ibrahim

On May 12, the Islamic State in Nigeria released a video of its members slaughtering 20 Christians (image above). The Muslim militants were dressed in black garb, which covered everything except their eyes. In the video, the Christians appear on their knees, with their hands tied behind their backs.  A militant stands above and behind them holding a knife. The terrorists claimed that the murder of these 20 Christians is “payback” for the killing of ISIS leaders by the U.S. in Syria three months earlier.  Although it is very reminiscent of the 2015 video of another pack of Muslim terrorists slaughtering 21 Coptic Christians in Libya, it received significantly less media coverage. The 2015 video of the Copts itself had received six times less media coverage than the killing of a gorilla that occurred at the same time. This video of the Nigerian Christians barely made a peep in the Western media (as if to suggest that the ritual slaughter of Christians has become so hackneyed as to be unworthy of reporting on).

On the same day the video was released, a Muslim mob beat, stoned and then burned the body of Deborah Emmanuel, a Christian college student: earlier she had refused the sexual advances of a Muslim man, who retaliated by loudly proclaiming that she had blasphemed Muhammad, the prophet of Islam.  According to Pastor David Ayuba Azzaman, a local well acquainted with the incident:

Deborah Emmanuel was complaining in a class WhatsApp group chat, kicking against how they discriminate against Christians in the school in areas of assignments and test in favor of the Muslims.  This is what they used as a yardstick to say she insulted Muhammad. She didn’t insult prophet Muhammad, but it was discovered that she turned down a Muslim proposal to date her. That led to him accusing her of insulting prophet Muhammad.

By ANNA AHRONHEIM   
Published: JUNE 29, 2022 10:50

Iran is trying to disrupt UNIFIL in Lebanon in cooperation with Hezbollah by “carrying out a cyber operation aimed at stealing materials about UNIFIL’s deployment in the area for the use of Hezbollah,” Defense Minister Benny Gantz said Tuesday at the International Cyber Conference.

“This is another attack by Iran and Hezbollah on Lebanese citizens, and on Lebanon’s stability,” he said.

According to Gantz, Iran is challenging Israel not only in the air, land and at sea, but has been waging cyberattacks against it for over a decade. While Israel faced several significant cyberattacks a decade ago, it now faces over 1,000 attacks a year.

An accusation of blasphemy in Germany, again!
By Zac Alrayyis
June 26, 2022

On the first anniversary of the murder of the french teacher, Samuel Paty, on the 16th of October 2021, the Ex-Muslim A.M. carried out a demonstration in Stuttgart to condemn the brutal murder, which was authorized by the relevant authorities without any special conditions.
The aim of the event was to point to the danger of political Islam.

To warn of the danger of an inhuman ideology which through the pretense of democratic values in many ways has become a cooperating partner to the state, it aims to undermine German society.

Since the teacher Samuel Paty was beheaded in relation to the Mohammed caricatures by a Muslim in Paris on the 16th of October 2020, said caricatures were, among others, displayed in the demonstration.
Mr. M. held a speech in Persian in which he clearly expressed his right to freedom of expression, he was consequently attacked by a Muslim and many of his signs were destroyed.

29 June, 2022

On June 28, a Hindu tailor named Kanhaiya Lal was brutally murdered by two Islamists identified as Mohammed Riyaz Akhtar and Mohammed Gos for an alleged post in support of former spokesperson of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Nupur Sharma. It has now come to light that his name, photograph and location were leaked and made viral by his neighbour Nazim who had also filed a complaint against Kanhaiya Lal for the alleged post.

On June 15, 2022, five days after the initial complaint by Nazim, Kanhaiyal had approached Police for legal action and had sought protection. In his application to the Police, he said few days prior to the complaint, his son accidentally shared a post on Facebook while playing games on his mobile phone. Two days after the post was made, two men approached him at his shop and demanded to see his phone. They told him about the post, to which Kanhaiya Lal replied that he did not know how to operate the phone, and his son used it to play games. They deleted the post and warned him not to repeat it.

Payoffs, threats, secret marriages: An accused preacher saving his empire
Mar 08, 2021

In the spring of 2017, 29-year-old N.M.’s life took a sharp turn.

She, along with her mother, was left homeless after her parents’ nasty breakup. They left London and crashed with a relative in northwest England. The move cost her the job she loved at an Islamic school. Broke and bewildered in a new city, N.M. was desperate for a spiritual boost.

That’s when she heard about Losing My Religion, a conference where some of Islam’s most popular speakers were to discuss big political and religious issues affecting Muslims. She was particularly curious about one of the speakers: Nouman Ali Khan, a Texas-based preacher who has earned millions of fans through his plainspoken Qur’an lessons aimed at millennials. Unofficial recordings of his lectures, such as one about material wealth titled “I feel sorry for Justin Bieber,” break the half-million mark for views.

How Israel foiled attempts to poison its water supply, disrupt US power plants
29.06.22 12:32

The deputy commander of the IDF’s signal intelligence, or “SIGINT” unit, also known as Unit 8200, spoke at the Cyber Week Conference hosted by Tel Aviv University this week.

The address marked the first time an officer from the unit has made a public appearance, though military censors barred publication of the officer’s full name, referring to him only by his first name, Uri.

Uri described Unit 8200’s cyber defense operations, citing two recent examples, including a foiled attempt – widely attributed to Iran – to gain control of Israel’s water distribution system and poison the water supply, as well as a planned attack on American power plants.
