VIDEO: Matt Walsh exposes media lies about NYC terror attack

First, let me apologize for not  posting "'Allahu akbar!' at Gracie Mansion" on Sunday. TBH, when I first saw the story on BBC, it didn't seem like a big deal. Just a couple of Pennsylvania teenagers playing around with homemade bombs and claiming to be jihadis -- servants of the Prophet!

Here's the BBC summary, ICYMI. Two men have been charged with terror offences after police said they attempted to bomb a protest outside the New York City mayor's home in an attack allegedly inspired by the Islamic State group. 

The suspects, 18-year-old Emir Balat and 19-year-old Ibrahim Kayumi, allegedly told police that they aimed for the Saturday attack to be "even larger" than the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing that left three dead. New York police say the pair attempted to detonate two explosives outside Gracie Mansion, where Mayor Zohran Mamdani lives. 

Authorities found a third bomb in their car. The incident happened during an anti-Islam protest. None of the explosives went off as intended. So... no biggie. Nobody hurt. Just a couple of Muslim kids from Pennsylvania horsing around. As you can see, they're now in the custody of law enforcement. Kid Balat is on the left, Kid Bayumi the right. 

No reason for alarm, eh, let alone Islamophobia. But...my Spidey senses got aroused when I saw how hard the lickspittle media -- notably the New York Times and CNN -- were trying to conceal information about the suspects' backgrounds and motivation. Here's the NYT's sanitized version of the story:

"Two Pennsylvania teenagers crossed into New York City Saturday morning for what could’ve been a normal day enjoying the city during abnormally warm weather. But in less than an hour, their lives would drastically change as the pair would be arrested for throwing homemade bombs."

Enough to gag a maggot, isn't it? They don't say that Emir Balat, 18, and Ibrahim Kayumi, 19, are legally adults. NYC police described the items they hurled not as "homemade bombs" but as "IEDs". These they tossed into a crowd of innocent people peacefully protesting against the Islamization of New York City. 

Also omitted from the Times' version were reports that Mr Balat yelled "Allahu akbar!" during the incident. Nor did they write that during a brief appearance before reporters, he flashed the single-finger gesture associated with ISIS. Even Islamist-Communist New York mayor Zohran Mamdani has grudgingly admitted the two men are charged with a "heinous act of terrorism and proclaiming their allegiance to ISIS."

Bad as the Times report was, American right-wing political commentator and podcast host Matt Walsh says CBS was worse and CNN worse still. Here's what he has to say about the mainstream media's deliberate obfuscation and egregious mendacity.

And here's the straight dope, as published belatedly by CBS News under the subhead "Investigators looking into suspects' background"

"Investigators are looking into the overseas travel for Balat and Kayumi. Balat left the U.S. for several months and traveled to Istanbul from May 6 to Aug. 26, 2025. He most recently traveled back to the US from Turkey in January of this year. Meanwhile, Kayumi traveled to Istanbul for several weeks in July and August 2024 and to Saudi Arabia in late March of that year. 

"Federal investigators have also been interviewing family members of Balat and Kayumi as part of their investigation, as well as looking at their online communications. Balat's parents were born in Turkey and were naturalized as US citizens in 2017. Balat is a US citizen and has been living with his family in a large two-story home in Pennsylvania. 

"A woman at the residence confirmed to CBS Philadelphia that Balat lived at the house. Kayumi's parents are originally from Afghanistan. They became naturalized US citizens in 2004 and 2009. It is unclear if Kayumi was living with them at the time of the incident Saturday."

If you're searching for the truth about the threat of Islamic terrorism -- coming soon to a locale not far enough from your home! -- don't listen to CNN, the NYT, Wapo, NPR and the other lickspittle media. Listen to Matt Walsh and the other commentators we feature here on WWW! We're pullin' for ya!

UPDATED: Bondi Beach terrorists pledged allegiance to ISIS

It's just past 1400 FMT. Here's the latest information we have on the terrorists -- so described by the Anthony Albanese, Prime Minister of Australia -- responsible for the atrocity at Bondi Beach, near Sydney NSW, today. (Scroll down for our initial report, with video.) 

New South Wales Police Commissioner Mal Lanyon told the meeja a couple of hours ago that the investigation into the shooting has "progressed" overnight and confirms officers aren't looking for a further gunman. He said the two shooters involved were a father and son aged 50 and 24. The father died at the scene -- apparently shot by police -- while the son remains in hospital in critical condition.

In response to questions from journos, Insp. Lanyon said the "50-year-old male" (he said "father" only once) was a licenced firearms holder and had six firearms linked to him. The cops think those six firearms were used in the "offences" on Bondi Beach, he said, adding that he vows to investigate the matter thoroughly. 

Oh really? When asked whether the two shooters were known to the police and whether he will comment on reports that a black ISIS flag was found at the scene, the inspector said he wouldn't go into specifics or speculation. "We will look at the motives behind this attack and I think it is important as part of the investigation," he said, adding that there was no indication suggesting that either of the men involved in yesterday's shooting was planning the attack.

On really? Are we to believe that they just happened to be carrying six (count `em, 6) firearms -- as well as two "active improved devices"! -- as they went to see the Jews celebrate Hannukah on the world-famous beach? 

When asked for the names of the perps, which must have been known to the police in order to obtain search warrants and find out about the firearm licences, Inspector Lanyon declined to answer, saying that was part of the investigation.

But... woops!!!... someone said the quiet part out loud. Listen carefully.

For those who couldn't quite understand the bingo-caller's accent, here's the name and the sources. The Jerusalem Post reported that the 24-year-old, whose name is Naveed Akram is a Muslim man of Pakistani origin, who had studied at Central Queensland University in Sydney. He was also previously associated with Hamdard University in Islamabad and the Al Murad Institute. 

The Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), citing a law enforcement source, said Mr Akram was a resident of Sydney's south-western suburb of Bonnyrigg. Police raided his home on Sunday evening as part of the investigation. According to the Daily Mail, the Akram family has owned the Bonnyrigg property for about a year.

I think that's enough for us to run, once again, the same old South Park meme.

Walt wishes (Don't you?) that the two non-Christian Abrahamic religions would confine their wars of extremination to their own turf... say no more than 1000 miles from Armageddon.

UPDATED 15/12/25 with report from Breitbart News: "Father-Son Duo Terror Suspects Reportedly Pledged Allegiance to ISIS Before Bondi Beach Attack - The suspected father and son terrorist duo who killed at least 15 during a Bondi Beach Hanukkah celebration on Sunday were previously investigated by Australian intelligence for ties to the so-called Islamic State, and ISIS flags were reportedly found in their car after the apparent antisemitic attack."

Fasching season cancelled in Munich for fear of another Muslim attack

Tomorrow is Shrove Tuesday, the day before Lent, the Christian season of fasting and penance in preparation for Easter. In many nominally Christian countries, people mark the day before a season of sobriety with carnivals and other events of gaiety, costumes, bibulousness, fun and frolic. 

There's the famous carnival in Brazil and, of course, Mardi Gras down in the Big Easy. Pre-Lenten carnival celebrations are traditional in Germany too, where the carnival season goes by different names: Karneval, Fasching, and Fastnacht. While all three stem from the same pre-Lenten tradition, each region in Germany has its own customs.

Alas, there will be no Karneval, Fasching or Fastnacht in Munich, Germany, this year. Authorities have cancelled the traditional carnival celebrations following the Islamic terror attack on a demonstration in the city that left two dead and 39 injured. 

Officials in the Bavarian capital announced on 19 February that neither the "Nonsense Thursday" event, which was to be held on February 27th, nor the Shrove Tuesday celebration will take place this year. A third carnival event in the city's central pedestrian zone has also been cancelled. 

Need we tell you why? In a statement released six days after the horrific attack on a crowd of innocent people, city officials said they had not taken the decision lightly but "as a city family it is unimaginable for us to light-heartedly celebrate carnival after the attack and especially after the deaths of our colleague and her daughter." 

So the cancellation was an act of mourning, then? Noooo. Security concerns were the true reason. In recent months, Germany has seen an unprecedented spate of terrorist attacks by Muslim immigrants, "refugees" and asylum-seekers. 

On 23 August 2024, a Syrian immigrant allegedly killed three people and injured eight in a stabbing attack on a "Festival for Diversity" [sic] in Solingen, for which Islamic State claimed responsibility. 

On 20 December 2024, a Syrian immigrant rammed a vehicle into a Christmas market in Magdeburg, leaving six people dead and 300 injured.

This past January 22nd, an Afghan asylum-seeker stabbed a two-year-old child and a 41-year-old man to death in Aschaffenburg, where carnival parades have also been put on hold. 

The German people have noticed, as witness the spectacular rise of the Alternativ für Deutschland (AfD) in February's election. Commenting on the decision to cancel the Munich events, columnist Julian Reichelt pointed out the irony of a standard phrase uttered almost daily by German politicians over the past few years: "We will not let Islamists change our way of life."

To Angela Merkel, Fred Merz and the others who keep saying there's no problem with mass immigration, Walt says: Ist Ihnen nicht aufgefallen, dass sich Ihr Lebensstil bereits verändert hat? Und nicht zum Besseren.

UPDATED - "Allahu akbar!" in Austria

Ed. suggests we create a new standing headline: "Your jihadis today". There seems to be a lot of jihadism -- holy war against uf infidels -- going around these days.  

In Munich, Germany, this past Thursday, a 24-year-old Afghan asylum-seeker was arrested after deliberately driving a car into a trade union demonstration. See "'Allahu akbar!' in Germany... just in time for the election", WWW 13/2/25, and "Munich Islamic terror attack UPDATE", WWW 14/2/25. A two-year-old girl and her mother died on Saturday from injuries suffered in the attack, which left 37 others injured.

If Ed. had been on the ball, instead of watching the Canada-USA hockey game, we'd have posted another story about Islamic terrorism last night, for it was just yesterday that a 14-year-old boy was killed and four other people injured in a knife attack in the southern Austrian city of Villach.

Die Polizei were Fritzie-on-the-spot, quickly arresting a 23-year-old Syrian who they say was... wait for it... an asylum seeker. 

Pictures of the arrest show him smiling as a cop covers him with her weapon. For those who can't read German, he's saying (or at least thinking) "You can't arrest me! I'm a refugee!"

A spokesthingy for the local police tolld the meeja, "A man randomly attacked passers-by with a knife. One victim, a 14-year-old boy, died." 

Two other men suffered serious injuries, while another two men suffered less serious wounds.  

The incident happened in the centre of the city, the capital of the Carinthia province, at just before 1600 local time. A food delivery rider saw the attack and rammed his vehicle into the attacker, who was arrested right after the attack.

The arrested man is a Syrian asylum-seeker with a valid residence permit and without a criminal record, according to preliminary information Police said he may have had Islamist extremist motives for the attack. No shit, Schultz!

UPDATE ADDED at 0850 FMT. The good folks at Blazing Cat Fur have a later version of this story. The words "ISIS death cult" leap off the screen.

UPDATE on the NOLA massacre, from the Babylon Bee

Further to our report on an unpleasant incident in New Orleans, in which a former soldier, who may or may not have been a Muslim, and may or may not have been a member of ISIS, and may or may not have been a jihadi wanna bet, took out 15 innocent bystanders, we are pass on the news, gleaned from the Babylon Bee (where else!) that the "FBI Assures Nation It Will Put Its Most Diverse Agents On Terror Case".

Makes you feel safe and secure, doesn't it?

"Allahu akbar!" in NOLA - Another year of peaceful coexistence begins

New Year's celebrations and festivities surrounding the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans were marred (but not cancelled) before dawn this morning, when a man driving a pickup truck rammed it into a crowd in the French Quarter, killing ten and injuring dozens more.

We were about to run the customary meme when someone said, "What if it's an 'anti-Islamist', like the guy in Magdeburg?" So we waited a couple of hours, and sure enough...

The FBI is investigating the slaughter of innocents as an act of terrorism. An Islamic State group flag was found in the vehicle, they said, along with an IED (read: bomb). The driver, who was killed in an exchange of gunfire with New Orlean's finest, has been identified the driver as Shamsud Din Jabbar, 42, a resident of Texas. It's possible that he is not unrelated to the Shamsud Din Jabbar who appears in this video selfie.

 

If this property manager of Blue Meadow Properties LLC in Sugar Land TX (not a million miles from New Orleans) is the person shown in this photo, he will no longer be in a position to represent you in your real estate dealings.

For some reason, the religion of the deceased terrorist has not been revealed, but if we are correct in our assumption (lifetime pct .987) he is at this very moment in Paradise, being serviced by 72 virgins.

Sleepy Joe Biden, speaking to reporters from his basement in Delaware, said he felt "anger and frustration" over the attack, which would never have happened had he only been re-elected. He is said to be considering a pre-emptive posthumous pardon for the late jihadi.

More "Allahu akbar!" in Germany... implications for USA and Canada

German chancellor Olaf Scholz said this weekend that his government remains committed to former chancellor Angela Merkel's policy of welcoming foreign invaders "for humanitarian and legal reasons". However, he said "Irregular migration into Germany must go down." Sounds to Walt like sucking and blowing at the same time, but why (I hear you ask) would Herr Scholz speak out in the middle of a quiet summer weekend. Here's a visual clue.

Yes, dear readers, another of those poor persecuted Muslims has done it again. Pictured is someone the polizei and politically correct media refer to as "Issa Al H", a 26-year-old Syrian "refugee". Al stabbed three people to death and wounded 8 others in an attack in Solingen on Friday. It wasn't an accident. The cops say he went for the throat every time.

The authorities (and in Germany that word means a lot) at first wouldn't name the attacker, nor would they speculate on his motive for the atrocity. But once Islamic State/ISIS claimed responsibility for the crime, they decided something had to be said, hence the statement from the Chancellor, who said today, "This was terrorism, terrorism against us all."  

How about that?! A politician with the courage to utter the T-word. But not enough courage to add adjectives such as "Islamic" or "Muslim".

Herr Scholz also said his government would have to do "everything we can to ensure that those who cannot and should not stay here in Germany are repatriated and deported" and that deportations would be sped up if necessary. He also promised to tighten laws on weapons ownership -- not "guns" but "weapons"-- "very quickly". 

This latest incident of wanton terrorism by a jihadi wannabe exacerates an already heated debate in das Vaterland about the merits (if any) of migration. On Saturday, conservative opposition leader Friedrich Merz demanded an end to taking in refugees from Syria and Afghanistan and called for controls on all of Germany’s borders. 

 

More significantly, Alice Weidel, leader of the Alternativ für Deutschland (AfD), has gone a step further and wants a complete stop to all migration. Any honest opinion poll [an oxymoron for sure. Ed.] would show the majority of Germans (as well as citizens of the AABC countries) in partial or full agreement with that proposition. 

The centre-left government of Chancellor Scholz has already pledged to deport migrants who have committed serious crimes and people whose application for asylum has been rejected. But it would appear that they have entrusted the job to the  German equivalent of America's "border czar", as very few of the benefits-shoppers have actually been sent back to their shitholes.

Mr Al-Stabby there came to Germany in 2022 as a Syrian "refugee". Usually Syrians have a good chance of being granted asylum in Germany, but his application was rejected and he was ordered to be deported to Bulgaria, because he had already registered for asylum there. But when the polizei tried to deport him, they were shocked, shocked to be unable to find him, and he remained in Germany. 

As I write I am waiting for results from yesterday's election in Saxony and Thuringia, two large eastern German states whose people are said to be less welcoming to invaders than the more liberal volk of western Germany. The AfD is expected to do well and may even win the most votes. America's Dimocrats and Canada's Gliberals should... repeat, should... take note.

VIDEO: "Allahu akbar!" in Moscow?

Looks like last night wasn't a good time to go out to pubs, clubs and concerts in Moscow, the capital of the Russian Empire (including Ukraine - NOT!) You've probably seen this video already, but just in case...

This happened at Crocus City Hall, a well-known Moscow region shopping centre and concert venue. [When I first saw "Crocus City", I thought of Crocus SK, just down the road from Lilac, made famous by George Bain. Ed.]

At least three gunmen, possibly as many as five, dressed in combat fatigues, burst into the concert hall and fired automatic weapons, injuring dozens of patrons and killing a significant number of them, according to Russian media. Russia's Federal Security Service(FSB), the main successor to the Soviet-era KGB, said about 40 people were killed while a regional ministry, quoted by the Tass news agency, said 145 were wounded. 

The death toll made it one of the worst attacks on Russia since the 2004 Beslan school siege, when Islamist militants took more than 1000 people, including hundreds of children, hostage. Children were reported to be among the dead and injured at the concert. Dozens of ambulances arrived at the Sklifosovsky emergency care institute in Moscow.

In a post on Telegram, Islamic State (aka ISIS) said its "fighters" attacked on the outskirts of Moscow "killing and wounding hundreds and causing great destruction to the place before they withdrew to their bases safely." 

A spokesthingy for the Russian Foreign Ministry called it a "bloody terrorist attack" that the entire world should condemn. The United States, European and Arab powers and many former Soviet republics expressed shock, condemned the attack and sent their condolences. Ukrainian presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak denied any Ukrainian involvement. 

Two weeks ago, the American embassy in Russia warned that "extremists" -- notice they didn't say "Muslim fanatics" or "Islamic extremists" -- had imminent plans for an attack in Moscow. The embassy issued its warning several hours after the FSB said it had foiled an attack on a Moscow synagogue by a cell of Islamic State. "While events continue to unfold, we strongly recommend that U.S. citizens in Moscow avoid the area, follow the instructions of local security services and keep an eye on local media updates," the US embassy said today.

To Vlad "the Impaler" Putin and his military advisors, Walt sez: Ya see? It's not Ukrainian nationalists you should be worrying about. It's those damn Islamists. What're you doing attack the Ukrainians? Swivel your guns about 220 degrees and send the jihadis to Paradise!

"But we won, in the end, right?"

"I mean, we ended the Muslim civil war, we brought peace and democracy to Iraq and all those other places, and we saved the world from Al-Qaeda, ISIS and the Taliban. So we won... right?"

Errr... actually, NO! Ever since WWII, and particularly since the fall of the Twin Towers, the Paranoid States of America has considered itself the World's Policeman, on a mission to spread freedom, democracy, and the American way of life (ugghhh, brrrrr) throughout the rest of the world, whether ROTW wants it or not.

After 9/11, the words "al-Qaeda" became shorthand for Islamic terrorism anywhere in the world. The cry "Allahu akbar!" was  heard in London, Paris, Berlin [That's enough world cities. Ed.] and is still our best guess any time there's a suicide bombing or mass shooting or terror attack anywhere in the Middle East or the Western world.

With the US of A as the unwitting midwife, Al-Qaeda begat ISIS in Iraq and Syria. The Muslim civil war in Iraq begat the same in Syria. The American-led (but really America-only) missions in Iraq and Afghanistan ended in ignominious retreat. 

Saddam Hussein and Muammar Ghadafi were deposed and killed, but today the countries they ruled remain no-go zones for Westerners, as does the entire Muddled East from the Mediterranean all the way to Pakistan. (The possible exception is Israel, although it has its own wars with Palestinians and Hezbollah to worry about.) 

Instead of bringing the Islamic republics, sheikdoms, etc into the New World Order, American intervention (read: meddling) has turned the region into one huge shithole, stuck in the mentality of the Middle Ages and intent on bring the ROTW down to its level. I call our mission a failure, utter and complete.

Footnote: Regular readings should know that Walt fully supports Ukraine and Ukrainians in their reistance to the illegal Russian invasion and occupation of their land. Слава Україні! Героям слава! 

I believe we should give the Ukrainians as much humanitarian and military assistance as we can, short of putting US or NATO boots on the ground. Why stop at that? Precisely because of the mess America has made of every foreign intervention since (and including) Korea. That kind of "help" is the last thing Ukraine needs!

Portrait of an Assassin

"Assassination" and "assassin" are words you don't hear or read much any more. The word "assassin" is often believed to derive from the word hashshashin (Arabic: حشّاشين), and shares its etymological roots with "hashish", because the original Assassins were believed to do their assassinating when under the influence of that drug.

The Assassins were group of Nizari Ismailis -- Muslims -- who worked against various political targets. Founded by Hassan-i Sabbah, the Assassins were active in the fortress of Alamut in Persia from the 8th to the 14th centuries A.D., and later expanded into a de facto state -- like a caliphate -- by acquiring or building many scattered strongholds. According to Wikipedia, the Assassins killed members of the Abbasid, Seljuk, Fatimid, and Christian Crusader elite for "political and religious reasons."

"Political and religious reasons", eh. Hmm. A week ago, Sir David Amess, a devout Catholic Member of the British Parliament was murdered while holding a meet-and-greet for his constituents. Was he killed for political and religious reasons? 

For almost a week, British authorities, motivated no doubt by political correctness and the need to avoid stoking the fires of Islamophobia, identified Sir David's killer as just "a man". When a truth-teller averred that the "man" was actually a Somali "refugee", the party line changed to "a British national of Somali descent." Still no name, and no mention of the killer's religion or motivation.

Yesterday the Crown Prosecution Service finally identified the "man" as Ali Harbi Ali, a 25-year-old "British man with Somali heritage." According to AlJazeera, Mr Ali is the son of Harbi Ali Kullane, a former media adviser to a former prime minister of Somalia. How Mr Ali became "British" is a mystery. So is his religion. 

The spokesthingy for the CPS did say, though, that "We will submit to the court that this murder has a terrorist connection, namely that it had both religious and ideological motivations. He has also been charged with the preparation of terrorist acts."

"Religious and ideological motivations", eh. Such as? When Mr Ali made his first court appearance yesterday, the Crown Prosecutor told the court that Mr Ali considered himself affiliated with the Islamic State, and had settled on a plan to kill a lawmaker "years ago".

The police, however, were a little more circumspect. Inspector Knacker of the Yard told the meeja, "I understand the huge level of public interest in this case, but now a charge has been brought, it is vitally important that everyone exercises restraint when commenting on it publicly, to ensure future court proceedings are not prejudiced in any way."

Yes. We mustn't let Islamophobia cause us to jump to any conclusions, or to call Mr Ali any names, like "assassin".

"Allahu akbar!" in... Afghanistan?! What'd I tell you...

The Associated Press mojo wire today spat out a story from Afghanistan which attracted only a little notice from the controlled media. In "Taliban-controlled Afghanistan" (the new politically correct way of referring to the shithole that 1000s of Westerners died trying to civilize), an ISIS suicide bomber struck at a mosque packed with Shiite Muslim worshippers in the northern city of Kunduz. 

Friday is a prime day of Muslim-on-Muslim attacks, because followers of the Prophet can be found kneeling in prayer, heads down and asses up. You can't miss! Today's bombing sent at least 46 people to Paradise, and wounded dozens more.

In its claim of responsibility, broadcast on the ISIS-linked Aamaq news agency, the region’s ISIS affiliate identified the bomber as a Uygher Muslim, saying the attack targeted both Shiites and the mainly Sunni Taliban for their purported willingness to expel Uyghers to meet demands from China. The blast was just the latest in a series of ISIS bombings and shootings that have targeted Afghanistan's new Taliban rulers, as well as religious institutions and minority Shiites since American and other NATO troops fled in disarray at the end of August.

May I now say for the last time [Really? Ed.] that Western nations had no business intervening in what was and still is an ongoing Muslim civil war. Likewise, we have no responsibility to send millions of dollars in food and other aid to avoid the imminent "humanitarian disaster" which the liberals are now saying is somehow all our fault. The Islamists' "Religion of Peace" is the cause of their misery. That's all ye know and all ye need to know.

"Allahu akbar!" in New Zealand! Islamic extremist stabs "at least six"

Remember what happened in New Zealand on 15 March 2019? A lone Australian, Brenton Harrison Tarrant, entered two mosques in Christchurch during Friday prayers, and shot 51 Muslims deade, wounding another 40. He was vilified in media reports as a white supremacist, racist, Islamophobe, extremist, terrorist, part of the alt-right, yada yada yada. 

New Zealand's super-woke Prime Minister Jacinda "Karen" Ardern said it would be wrong even to say or print Mr Tarrant's name, and banned publication of the video and manifestor which he had posted online before the attack. He was subsequently sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole – the first such sentence ever imposed in New Zealand.

Today, in beautiful downtown Auckland, police on Friday shot and killed a knife-wielding "extremist" -- notice the words "Islamic" or "Muslim" have been omitted -- who was "known to authorities." Before being shot, the assailant wounded at least six people (three seriously), all the while yelling "Allahu akbar!"

The attacker, whom the Authorities would not identify by name, was one of the 100s of "refugees" New Zealand welcomed 10 years ago, supposedly fleeing persecution during the Sri Lankan civil war. He was inspired (they admit) by the Islamic State militant group and was being monitored constantly... although not so closely as to prevent the "incident". 

When asked if the attack could have been revenge for the 2019 mosque shootings, Prime Minister Ardern said it was not clear. "A violent extremist undertook a terrorist attack on innocent New Zealanders," she told the meeja. 

"He obviously was a supporter of ISIS ideology," said Karen, but the attack "was hateful, it was wrong. It was carried out by an individual, not a faith. It would be wrong to direct any frustration to anyone beyond this individual." Yeah, sure. 

Q.: How many Islamic extremists does it take to change a light bulb? 

A.: Two. One to change the bulb and one to praise Allah for this incredibly sophisticated science, which was known to Arabs long before infidels stole it from them. 

Q.: How many Islamic extremists does it take to attack (with intent to kill) six "infidels" in a rampage of stabbling? 

A.: Just one. 

Q.: How many Islamic extremists are included in the 1000s of followers of the Prophet that Sleepy Joe Biden and Justin "Blackie" Trudeau are sending into your community, right now? 

A.: Who knows? None of this latest horde of "refugees" are being screened. All are presumed to be victims of Taliban terror, not the kind of Muslim fanatics who believes that infidels should be killed wherever they may be found... even in faraway New Zealand.

VIDEO: French finally starting to take the threat of Islamism seriously

For some weeks now, the country from which WWW draws the largest part of its readereship has been... wait for it... not the USA... not even Canada, but... here it comes... France! This is passing strange considering that we rarely post more than a sentence or two in the language of Molière. Could it be that the French are more attuned to (or care more about) Walt's warnings about the collapse of Christian civilization under the onslaught of Islamization being tolerated, or even perpetrated by our political and spiritual leaders?

Evidence that more and more Frenchmen and women are starting to say "Il a raison!" comes in the form of a Harris Interactive poll taken this week following publication of an open letter signed by a group of retired generals of the French Army, calling on Président Emmanuel Macron to defend patriotism.

The signatories condemned the "délitement" (disintegration) striking the country, and said they were "disposés à soutenir les politiques qui prendront en considération la sauvegarde de la nation" (willing to support policies that will take into consideration the safeguard of the nation). Now there's something you're not going to hear from generals of the AABC countries. Maybe the French generals are braver than ours, after all.

The letter provoked much soiling of shorts and related tut-tutting from the M Macron's government. Prime Minister Jean Castex condemned the letter and those who signed it "with the greatest firmness." But according to the poll, large numbers of French people agreed with the generals.

   

64% of those polled had heard about the letter, and 38% said they understood exactly what the generals were saying. 58% of the 1613 respondents said they supported the publication of the letter, and nearly half felt the army should intervene to guarantee law and order, even without being asked by the government so to do!

93% of those who identified as Républicains and 94% of supporters of Marine Le Pen's Rassemblement National (RN) thought that the laws of France no longer apply in certain places. 84% of polledthose asked agreed with the statement that violence was increasing day by day, (especially in the suburbs of Paris). 73% consider that France is disintegrating. 

According to the generals, France is sliding toward a civil war due to creeping Islamism and the government's failure to control mass migration and creeping Islamism in the country. Two days after publication of the letter, Mme Le Pen invited the signatories to "joindre à notre action pour prendre part à la bataille qui s'ouvre" (join our movement to take part in the battle which is opening).

Not everyone agrees with her. About a third of those polled agreed with her, with disapproval of her position running as high as 86% of the self-declared eco-wienies. But by supporting the military, Mme Le Pen has caused her star to rise even higher. With the next presidential election less than a year off, she has the declared support of 89% of RN sympathisers, and 40% of Républicains.

Meanwhile, the BBC reports that a court in Nanterre (in the western suburbs of Paris, where white Christians are almost an endangered species) has acquitted Mme Le Pen and Gilbert Collard, an RN colleague, of breaking hate speech laws by posting on Twitter three images of ISIS atrocities. The court found that while the pictures were violent they fell into the category of political protest, thus protected by the right to freedom of speech.

Mme Le Pen had called the trial "poltically motivated", and defended her "freedom to inform" with the images, "shocking as they are." The court found that the images had been posted by elected officials who had not tried to trivialise violence or "present violence in a favourable light."

Her lawyer Rodolphe Bosselut called the victory important because "freedom of expression has been recognised as complete for a top-ranking politician." That's in France, of course. Might be worth a try on this side of the Atlantic!

"Allahu akbar!" in Vienna: Islamic terrorist kills four before shot dead

Walt didn't hurry to post this story yesterday, when it broke, because it would be embarrassing to cast suspicion on Muslims, only to have the attackers turn out to be, errr, non-Muslim, twice in one week. So I waited until my suspicions were confirmed.

Yes, it's another terrorist attack on innocent civilians. This time it happened in Vienna, the civilized and delightful capital city of Austria, where Islamic extremists rampaged through the entertainment district on Monday night, killing four people. One of the attackers was shot dead by police, but a personhunt [the PC term for "manhunt". Ed.] is on for others. 

After the customary dithering over whether to utter words like "Islamic" or "Muslim", the polizei identified the Muslim who is now in Paradise being serviced by 72 virgins. He was 20-year-old Kujtim Fejzulai, a dual citizen of Austrian and North Macedonia [Where dat? Ed.], seen in this selfie taken shortly before the attack.

In April of 2019, he was sentenced to 22 months in prison for trying to travel to Syria to join ISIS. He was released in December because, hey, he was just a juvenile. Boys will be boys.

Dressed in white coveralls and armed with an automatic rifle and a fake explosive vest, the late Mr Fejzulai ran through Vienna's cobblestone streets, firing off bursts at random. Two men and two women died from their injuries. A police officer who tried to get in the way of the attacker was shot and wounded, and another 14 people were wounded.

Chancellor Sebastian Kurz told the meeja, "It is now confirmed that yesterday's attack was clearly an Islamist terror attack," Kurz said. "It was an attack out of hatred -- hatred for our fundamental values, hatred for our way of life, hatred for our democracy in which all people have equal rights and dignity." Note: not "Western values" or "Christian values", just "fundamental values". But at least he called out Islamism.

"Allahu akbar!" at home in Afghanistan -- dozens, including newborns, killed

For the last couple of months, the Covid-19 "crisis", aka the Dempanic, as been not just the top story in our (((controlled media))), but, it would seem, the only story. They are so busy signalling virtue and pointing fingers that they have no time or space to report on threats to our way of life greater than those posed by the corona virus or the Chinese.

I refer to the militant Muslims, the Islamic terrorists whose aim is to kill us infidels -- all of us -- and conquer the world for Allah and his prophet, Mohammed.

That the jihadis have not been more active in North America and Europe of late is due in no small part to the closing of borders, following the lead given by Still-President Trump. But just because the terrorists have to stay at home doesn't mean that they've declared a "pauses" in their activity. Instead, they are killing other citizens of their shithole countries -- the ones that don't share their particular brand of the "Religion of Peace" (TM).

Just this week, militant Islamists attacked a maternity hospital -- let me say that again: maternity hospital -- in beautiful downtown Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan. They killed 23 people, including two newborn babies, their mothers and an unspecified number of nurses. In the photo you see an Afghan soldier carrying in his arms the body of a dead baby.

Why would the jihadis attack a materntiy hospital? Because it's in Dashti Barchi, a mostly Shiite neighbourhood. The jihadis, you see, are Sunni Muslims. [Didn't Canuck PM Justin Trudeau say, "Sunni ways, my friends... Sunni ways."? Ed.] So the mothers were giving birth to little Muslims, OK, but not the right kind of Muslims!

No-one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, but both the Taliban and the Islamic State frequently target Afghan military and security forces in Kabul, as well as civilians. The Taliban denied they were involved. In the past, most of the attacks in Dashti Barchi were carried out by ISIS. "Allahu akbar!!!"

Afghan and US officials have been telling us for months now that the ISIS affiliate in Afghanistan has been weakened as a result of relentless American bombing raids on the group's stronghold in eastern Nangarhar province, as well as military operations by Afghan security forces and attacks by ISIS' rivals, Taliban insurgents.

If you believe that, consider the evidence of a separate attack on the same day, in which a suicide bomber targeted the funeral in Khewa district of a local pro-government militia commander and former warlord who had died of a heart attack Monday night. 24 mourners were killed and  68 wounded.

The dead included Abdullah Lala Jan, a provincial council member, while his father Noor Agha, a lawmaker, was wounded in the attack. In a statement posted online late Tuesday, the Islamic State group claimed responsibility for the bombing.

And so it goes. Cradle to grave, the Islamic terrorists are determined to get ya! Yesterday Afghanistan, tomorrow... who knows?

Iraqi parliament wants US troops out of their country

Regular readers will know that, along with such right-thinking patriots as Dr Ron Paul, I am absolutely opposed to American involvement the Muslim civil wars in the Middle East.

It's not that I'm a pacifist or peacenik. I do believe in the doctrine of the "just war". It's just that I think it's foolish to waste 1000s of lives and billions of dollars on a war we can't win, in an affair which is none of our business.

So I was heartened to hear yesterday that the Iraqi parliament voted in favour of a resolution asking the government to expel US troops from their shithole country. Mostly Shiite factions voted in favour, while Kurdish and most Sunni members of parliament did not attend the session, presumably because they want the American presence in Iraq to continue.

The resolution says, "The government commits to revoke its request for assistance from the international coalition fighting 'Islamic State' due to the end of military operations in Iraq and the achievement of victory. The Iraqi government must work to end the presence of any foreign troops on Iraqi soil and prohibit them from using its land, airspace or water for any reason."

Like so many resolutions passed by so many politicians in so many talking shops around the world, this resolution is likely to come to nothing. It still needs to be approved by the Iraqi cabinet, which, under their system, is not responsible to parliament. However, interim Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi voiced support as he railed against US "violations of Iraqi sovereignty."

He was referring to the US air strike on Friday which killed Iranian Major General Qassem Soleimani, the commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps' elite Quds Force, near Baghdad's airport. The force has been declared an Islamic terrorist organization, and the killing of its commander -- a man with the blood of 1000s on his hands -- was intended to prevent the execution of a major terrorist attack against Americans in the Middle East, while at the same time dealing a blow to the heart of Iran's Middle East policy.

About 5,200 US troops are deployed at Iraqi military bases -- built at considerable expense to American taxpayers -- to train and support local security forces, in hopes -- faint hopes -- of preventing a resurgence of ISIS. The troops are there at the invitation of the Iraqi government as part of an US-led international coalition against the Islamic extremist group.

The usual suspects (read: Democrats) filled the airwaves yesterday with complaints about the air strike, and dire warnings about immanentizing the eschaton. (You can look it up.) At the very least, they say, Still-President Trump's action has facilitated conditions for Iran to achieve one of its main regional objectives: removing the US military from its neighbour.

And I say: GREAT! What I see here is a brilliant plan to, at long last, get America out of Iraq and perhaps the entire sandpit, without spending at little cost in lives or money, and without losing face!
Previous administrations, both Republican and Democrat, got the USA into the Middle East quagmire (giggity!), without any realistic chance of victory, or any exit plan. The Prez promised to clean up the mess left by Bush, but just spread it further, into Libya.

President Trump said he'd find a way, and was attacked for preparing to bail out, abandoning the "good" Muslims, yada yada yada. What better way to end this colossal exercise in futility than to have the people that invited America to go in to "help" them, order the US to leave. Walt says, DO IT! NOW! Leave the Sunnis and the Shiites and ISIS and Al-Qaeda and the Taliban to fight it out. And may all the jihadis get what they so richly deserve. Selah!

Al-Baghdadi: no longer wanted, much longer dead

So, farewell then, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. You were killed this weekend in a US special forces operation in the Syrian province of Idlib. Of you, President Trump said, "He was a sick and depraved man, and now he is gone."

"Last night, the United States brought the world's number one terrorist leader to justice," said POTUS. "Al-Baghdadi is dead. He reached the end of the tunnel as our dogs chased him down." Mr Trump added. When he was cornered, al-Baghdadi detonated a suicide vest laden with explosives, killing himself and three of his children. These and other gruesome details of how the ISIS leader "died like a dog" were revealed by the President in a nearly 50-minute live press conference in which he described the operation and answered journalists' questions about the raid and his strategy in Syria.

US special forces raided the compound where al-Baghdadi was hiding (apparently being sheltered by al-Qaeda, sometime competitors of ISIS) under order to take the terrorist chief alive. To prevent being taken alive, al-Baghdadi blew himself into little terrorist bits. Some of the pieces were large enough to enable able identification by conducting an onsite DNA test. This was crucial given that al-Baghdadi had been declared dead several times in the past.

Although one of the dogs was hurt, there were no human American casualties during the operation. POTUS said US soldiers were able to capture critical material about Islamic State, including information about its origins and future plans. US intelligence knew about al-Baghdadi's whereabouts for a couple of weeks, he said. "He spent his last moments in utter fear, in panic and dread, terrified of American forces coming down on him."

The death of the ISIS "caliph" has been called a crippling blow to the once-influential Islamic terrorist group. And it is a clear and stunning victory for the American military and its Commander-in-Chief. And yet, predictably, the lefties and never-Trumpers are saying otherwise. The Dumbocrats are complaining that POTUS didn't notify them of the impending raid, and invite Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer to join him in the White House to watch the event unfold.

The usual "experts" are being quoted by the lamestream media, predicting the death of the "austere religious scholar" (as WaPo called al-Baghdadi -- you couldn't make it up!) could unleash retaliatory attacks in both the Middle East and North America. Several Canadian "Middle East researchers" have said al-Baghdadi's death could prompt blowback from sleeper cell ISIS members hiding in other countries. "Every time that a terrorist group suffers an important defeat like this, whether it's the death of its leader or something else, you have to expect the possibility that this will motivate them for revenge," said Thomas Juneau, a Middle East "expert" at the University of Ottawa.

Personally, I'm not worried. The death of al-Baghdadi may not be the mortal blow that kills ISIS once and for all -- Islamic extremists will be amongst us and against us for a long time yet -- but it's a start. I'm happy to leave it to the Turks or the Kurds or the Russians or anyone else (even the Canucks) to carry on the fight against Islamic terrorism (a phrase strangely absent from most of the lamestream media reports) if they so choose. If they won't or can't contain and destroy ISIS, I'm confident America will do the job, when and if necessary.

VIDEO: Ron Paul comments on long-overdue US withdrawal from Syria

In case no-one noticed, our blog quietly passed its 10th anniversary back in July. [If I'd remembered I'd have baked a cake. Ed.] How time flies when you're having fun! One of the themes that I write about again and again [and again and again. Ed.] is the folly of America being entangled in foreign wars that it can't win, especially the oil wars in the Gulf and Middle East. See, for example, "Will America never learn? The persistence of bad foreign policy" (WWW 2/5/13).

It's not that I'm a pacifist, or anti-Israel, or an apologist for the Islamists. I'm just a realist, like Ron Paul, and think it's stupid to waste tens of thousands of American lives and billions of American dollars meddling in and tens of thousands trying to act as referees in Muslim civil wars. Here's what Dr Paul has to say about Still-President Trump's announcement that US forces will be withdrawn from Syria, starting yesterday!



IMHO the withdrawal is long overdue! We have (dare I say it?) no dog in those fights. The USA will be no better off no matter who wins, and no worse off no matter who loses. The usual suspects say the Bushes, Slick Willy, and the Prez sent American forces to the Gulf, Iraq and Afghanistan, and kept them there, not just to convert the feudal Arab states to modern Western democracy, but to keep the Saudis and multinational companies in control of the oil that lies beneat the blood-stained desert sands.

I call BS on that. With the development of fracking and shale oil, and the slowly lessening use of plastics and other oil-based products, America is virtually self-sufficient in oil. And if the liberals on both sides of the Canada-US border would smarten up and support the development of Canada's oil sands and the import of Canadian oil through pipelines which the leftists don't want to be built or expanded, oil self-sufficiency would be guaranteed. Who needs Arab oil?!

Mr Trump's announcement late Sunday has set the lefties' hair on fire. Expressions of shock and horror are being heard from all liberal quarters, notably Brussels, the capital of the European Union, and (of course) the commentariat of America, Britain and Canada.
* America is leaving its Kurdish allies in the lurch!
* America is surrendering! Another failure for Trump!
* America is caving to Assad!
* The Turkish invasion of Syria will be disastrous!
* More millions of refugees will be washing up on our shores!
and, inevitably
* We're inviting a resurgence of Al-Qaeda and ISIS!

Walt says, who cares?! Let the Islamists duke it out. And if a humanitarian disaster ensures, let the Europeans and Canucks take care of it, if they're so minded... and can afford it. Getting out of the Middle East is absolutely the right thing to do. As Dr Paul and Dan McAdams say near the end of the video, it's not going to happen overnight, but this week's decision by Still-President Trump is a step in the right direction.

VIDEO: "Allahu akbar!" encore à Paris - 4 policiers tués

First, the story the way the Clinton News Network told it at 1216 EDT today.

Four police employees were killed in a knife attack at Paris police headquarters on Thursday, according to city prosecutor Remy Heitz.
The three policemen and a female police administrative worker were killed by a fellow member of staff, who was later shot dead, authorities told CNN.
The incident took place inside the building, which is located near Notre Dame Cathedral on the Île de la Cité in central Paris.
One victim is undergoing surgery, said French Interior Minister Christophe Castaner. He did not elaborate on the victim's condition or injuries.
Castaner said the assailant was a 45-year-old man and had been an employee at the police station since 2003. There is no indication of a motive yet.

What M Castaner actually said, in a hastily-called presser, was that the attacker "n'avait jamais présenté de difficultés comportementales" ("had never shown any behavioural difficulties") or "le moindre signe d'alerte" ("the least warning sign").

But wait... there's more. Here's a brief clip from BFM-TV.



For those who don't speak the language of Molière, the newsreader said investigators told reporters they are exploring the possibility of a personal conflict, and anti-terrorism prosecutors were following the dossier. Why? Because the attacker (now dead of lead poisoning) had converted to Islam 18 months ago. For the moment, she said, it is not known if there is any connection between the man's new-found religion and the attack. But Inspector Clouseau is working on it. Allahu akbar!? Voyons!

UPDATE ADDED 5/10/19: Suspicions confirmed! Jean-François Richard, the Paris prosecutor in charge of the investigation, told the press today that the perpetrator of the deadly knife attack "had likely contacts with members of the Salafist movement."

Salafism is a fundamentalist branch of Islam that has become tied to violent extremism through jihadist attacks and groups like Al-Qaeda and ISIS which adhere to its belief that Islam has strayed from its roots and must return to traditionalist teachings and practices. Such as? Well, the killing of "infidels", for one!

Islamic terrorists strike close to home -- theirs!

While we were waiting to see who was behind this weekends mass murders in El Paso and Dayton -- wondering if it was the work of terrorists (domestic or imported) or maybe just a couple of deranged individuals (as it turned out) -- the real terrorists, the jihadists, were in training in the Middle East. In Cairo, chief shithole of Egypt, to be specific.

Sadly for mearly two dozen Cairenes, their practice run -- moving a car full of explosives to the site of a planned attack -- didn't go off as planned. Or perhaps I should say it went off before it was planned, as the car exploded late Sunday night on the busy Corniche boulevard along the Nile River, setting other cars on fire, killing at least 20 and injuring at least 47, most of them Muslims. No cries of "Allahu akbar!" were heard, just a shout of "Oh shit!"

The massively weaponized vehicle [Hey! You learned a new word! Ed.] exploded near Egypt's main cancer hospital (pictured) shattering parts of the facade and some rooms inside and forcing the evacuation of dozens of patients. The hospital's main gate was damaged, along with several patient rooms and wards, according to a statement from Cairo University, whose medical school uses the institution as an educational facility. Windows and glass doors on the hospital building were shattered.

One patient told the meeja, "Parts of the ceiling of the hospital were collapsing as I got out of my room. People were running everywhere and shouting." The Egyptian Health Ministry did not say whether any patients or hospital staff were among the casualties. Another witness said that several vehicles on the street were damaged, burning those inside.

Inspector Mohammed Mohammed of the Cairo Police initially said the explosion was caused by a multi-vehicle accident. But today the Interior Ministry acknowledged that a car bomb was involved. The authorities accused a militant group known as Hasm, which has links to the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood, saying it was moving the car, which had been stolen months ago, to carry out an attack, errr, somewhere else.

The attack is the deadliest in Cairo since a bombing at a chapel adjacent to Egypt's main Coptic Christian cathedral killed 30 people during Sunday mass in December 2016. That attack was claimed by Egypt's affiliate of the ISIS group. For years, Egypt has battled Islamic militants, led by an ISIS affiliate, in the Sinai Peninsula. That insurgency has at times spilled over into other parts of the country. Smaller bombings, usually by roadside devices, have taken place more often, targeting security forces and in two cases tourists near the Pyramids. Car bombs, however, have been far rarer in the capital.
