UN Agency Suspends 6 Staff for Calling to Murder Jews
June 29, 2022

The UN agency that runs schools for Palestinians announced to donor states yesterday that it has just placed six employees on administrative leave after a report on Thursday by UN Watch exposed UNRWA teachers who publicly call to murder Jews.

“Teachers who call to murder Jews must be barred from the classroom for life, while these temporary suspensions are just a slap on the wrist,” said Hillel Neuer, executive director of UN Watch, an independent non-governmental organization based in Geneva.

“UNRWA is trying to pretend the problem is now gone, while at the same time signaling to Palestinian staff—and to terrorist organizations like Islamic Jihad which pressed UNRWA to reject the UN Watch report—that they don’t really object to the virulent antisemitism of their teachers, which UNRWA and its donors know pervades the agency,” said Neuer.

'Stop Interfering In Afghanistan', Says Taliban Leader In Rare Appearance
By Qubad WALI
07/01/22 AT 3:05 AM

The Taliban's reclusive supreme leader Hibatullah Akhundzada called Friday for the world to stop telling them how to run Afghanistan, insisting sharia law was the only model for a successful Islamic state.

Akhundzada, who has not been filmed or photographed in public since the Taliban returned to power in August, was addressing a major gathering of religious scholars in the Afghan capital called to rubber-stamp the hardline Islamist group's rule.

More than 3,000 clerics have gathered in Kabul since Thursday for the three-day men-only meeting, and Akhundzada's appearance had been rumoured for days -- although media are barred from covering the event.

"Why is the world interfering in our affairs?" he asked in an hour-long speech broadcast by state radio.

A ‘Miraculous’ Christian Victory over Jihad
Jun 30, 2022
Raymond Ibrahim

This week in history witnessed a Crusader victory over the forces of Islam that, for those present, could only be interpreted as a miracle.

As discussed here, on June 3, 1098, the Crusaders managed to liberate the ancient Christian city of Antioch—where the very word “Christian” was first coined (Acts 11:26)—from Islamic abuse.

Before they could celebrate, however, or even recuperate, Kerbogha, the Turkish lord (or atabeg) of Mosul, arrived with a “countless and innumerable throng” of forty thousand fighters, consisting of Turks, Arabs, Egyptians, Africans, and Persians. “It is quite obvious that these people are completely mad,” the atabeg observed of the hopelessly outnumbered Crusaders: “They are a presumptuous race…. Doubtless they have every confidence in their courage. But by Muhammad, it was a bad day for them when they entered Syrian territory.”

He quickly blockaded Antioch; and they who only yesterday were the besiegers became the besieged. Worse, by the time the Crusaders took Antioch, most of its stores had been depleted by the Turks during their lengthy besiegement, forcing the feral Franks to eat leather shoes and drink horse blood.

The history forgotten: The persecution of Parsis by Muslims in Persia and their migration to India
3 July, 2022

The spread of Islamic radicalism has resulted in the migration of native communities from their motherland on multiple occasions in the past. The departure of Parsis, or Zoroastrians, from Persia to other areas of the world as a result of the expansion of Islam in the 7th century AD is one such instance. We shall cover the entire history of the Religion with reference to the infamous events of religious persecution as we delve deeper into the exodus of Zoroastrians as a result of Islamic invasions and their migration to India.

The Parsis are an ethnoreligious minority currently residing in the Indian subcontinent. Following the invasion of Sassanid Iran by Arab Muslims under the Rashidun Caliphate in the 7th century AD, their ancestors moved to India. Parsis adhere to Zoroastrianism, also known as Mazdayasna in its original form, one of the world’s oldest religions. Until the middle of the seventh century, Persia (modern-day Iran) was a politically independent state with a Zoroastrian majority. For about 1000 years, until the Sassanian Empire, Zoroastrianism was the recognised official religion of the state.

Herdsmen attacks: 300 amputees flood Benue as state seeks help to manage them
July 1, 2022
By Peter Duru, Makurdi

THE real impact of the frequent attacks on Benue State communities over the years has begun to emerge, with the awful and disheartening sights that now greet anyone visiting the state. Formerly vibrant men, women and children, they have since been reduced to pathetic human wrecks following the relentless onslaughts by armed herders who take delight in attacking, maiming and forcing their hapless victims out of their homes and communities.

That is the unfortunate lot of these fellows who now go about as incomplete humans as their limbs and other vital parts of the body had since been violently chopped off by their assailants.

France: 15 years’ imprisonment for a former gendarme who promoted jihadism
July 1 2022

The Paris Court of Appeal (Cour d’Assises Spéciale) on Friday July 1 sentenced a 27-year-old former gendarme who had converted to Islam to 15 years in prison with a two-thirds security detention. He was charged with advocating armed jihad in Western countries. The former gendarme had been arrested in January 2018 “in view of the risk that a possible act of violence was imminent”.

The young man, who is on trial for involvement in a terrorist criminal organisation in preparation for one or more crimes against persons, will also have to undergo five years of socio-legal supervision (SSJ) after his sentence expires. Dylan Toussaint had been investigated by the Directorate General of Internal Security (DGSI) at the end of 2017 due to his suspicious activities on social networks.

July 1, 2022

A Palestinian activist has been charged with a hate crime by federal prosecutors for attacking a Jewish man following a rally in April in New York City, the New York Post reported on Thursday.

Saadah Masoud of Brooklyn, N.Y., allegedly assaulted Matt Greenman because of his “actual and perceived religion” after a pro-Palestinian demonstration on April 20 in Midtown Manhattan, according to a newly unsealed criminal complaint filed by the Manhattan U.S. Attorney’s Office.

Greenman, 28, was at the rally as a counterprotester and had an Israeli flag draped around himself when he was attacked by Masoud. He previously said that Masoud and his friends “started to make a little circle and he got me from behind, got me on the ground and punched me in the face. I got this black eye. He kicked me in the face a whole bunch.”

A madrassa student, who portrayed himself as a victim, admitted to the police on Thursday (June 30, 2022) that he had made up a false narrative due to a lack of proper attention at home and school.

According to the report, Mangalore Police Commissioner N Shashi Kumar has told that the boy himself had torn his shirt with a pen, to tell people that he had been beaten up. After the boy alleged assault, the police swung into action to avoid any communal tension.

Germany wants to naturalise almost 200,000 Syrians as soon as possible
July 1 2022

In recent years, many people from Syria have been seeking asylum in Germany to escape the terror of the “Islamic State” and the Assad regime. According to experts’ estimates, a large proportion of the refugees will gain German citizenship in the coming years.

“We observe a far above-average motivation for naturalisation among the group of refugees from Syria,” said Jan Schneider, the head of the scientific staff of the German Council of Experts on Integration and Migration (SVR). Schneider presented a forecast on the naturalisation of refugees. The expected rush could possibly even lead to bottlenecks in the administration.
