UPDATED: Radical Islamist attacks followers of "Rev." James Martin

As Walt pointed out a mere six weeks ago, homosexuality -- the lifestyle and the acts, not the people suffering from this disorder -- is condemned in Islam, just as it is in Christianity. A Catholic (in name, anyway) priest who begs to disagree is Father James Martin, S.J., the leading apostle (in America) of all things gay. He is called out by name in the video in "Bad shepherds are leading the faithful to hell!", WWW 1/8/21.  

The ever-increasing number of "Pride events" -- days, weeks, months, parades, festivals and other queer-ins -- has given rise to an increasing number of anti-gay types who are sick, sore and tired of all this "We're here, we're queer!" nonsense. 

One person who has acted on his righteous indignation is a follower of the Prophet -- Abdul Ballout, a German citizen of Lebanese background -- who is now the subject of a massive manhunt in Germany after a suspected "Islamist terror attack" at a Berlin Pride event last night.

One woman is dead and at least 29 injured after a van drove into a crowd. The suspect then attacked people with a blade that "might have been a machete." [It might have been a scimitar too, but "machete" is easier to spell. Ed.]

Herr Ballout was known to die Polizei and had previously "committed a number of crimes." He is still at large, but the cops have taken several people into custody in relation to the attack, according to German media. Die Zeit reports that some of those taken into custody have now been released, while others remain in custody.

Inspector Katzenjammer of the Berlin constabulary reportedly told journalists that if police cannot assign suspicions of a crime to those detained, then they must be released within 48 hours. It's still unclear if the suspect named as Abdul Ballout is believed to have acted alone, or with accomplices. 

Equally unclear, to hear the cops tell it, is the motive for the attack. But, warns the German Minister of the Interior, "We cannot rule out the possibility of copycat attacks." 

An angry German Chancellor Fred Merz (pictured) added that extremists "have no place in our society", vowing to do everything in the government's power to see justice served.

UPDATE ADDED 27/7/26 @ 0515 FMT: Die Polizei found the killer yesterday, hiding in a shed in the Spandau district of Berlin. They shot and killed him. No trial. 

One bleeding heart liberal has already commented that this shows why we need Pride Parades. Well, it does get `em all together in one place so you can attach them en masse, if you are so inclined.

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!

I hate to be "that guy" but... about the US, Israel and Armageddon

We don't like to repost our own stuff but as the American-Israel war on Iran enters its fourth day we can't help but think that we've seen this movie before. Or maybe this is just the latest version of the long-running franchise. 

Let's rewind to "Scrapping the Iran deal: another milepost on the road to Armageddon", WWW 10/5/18. To save you clicking on the link [but go ahead if you want! Ed.], the main point of that post was that President Trump was right to scrap the Obama deal with Iran. 

He did that because "Iran is a danger to us, to our allies, to freedom. We stand alongside you in ending the dangerous appeasement of Iran and making all and any action required to stop Iran going nuclear, help its people, halt its spreading of terror and achieve peace and stability in the Middle East and among all peoples and nations."

Inevitably, the Democrats, liberals and one-worlders disagreed with Mr Trump. The Prez called the decision to screap the Iran deal "misguided". The deal was negotiated on his watch and he took credit for it, as befits the winner of a Nobel Peace. What else would he say.

Walt wrote: What the doves never explained was why, if the Iran deal was such a great game-changer, peace didn't break out in the Middle East the minute it was signed. The object was to prevent Iran from developing a nuculer (giving it the American pronunciation) weapon, and stop them from mucking around in Syria and other Muslim civil wars -- Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen, Libya, etc etc -- by bringing them (Iran) back into the world economic community. So how did that work out?

The Prez and all the other one-world, appease-the-Muslim wienies have responded to POTUS' decision to scrap the Iran nuke deal by saying that his decision has moved us closer than ever to a full-scale war, yea a veritable nuclear holocaust! So if the Middle East explodes, it's all Trump's fault. Right?

Errr, no. My point was that we were on the road to Armageddon well before the Iran deal! See "3 portents of the coming Armageddon", WWW 26/8/14. Scrapping the deal makes no difference other than to immanentize the eschaton. 

The years passed. The Biden interregnum brought was marked by the ignominious retreat from Afghanistan and other triumphs of Democratic diplomacy. The Iranians, emboldened by the defeat of the Trumpster, carried on with their nuclear program and with raising Islamic terrorist hell in the Middle East and around the world.

Now the Donald is back in the White House and can see that the mad mullahs who rule Iran are just as keen as ever on destroying the "Zionist entity" to their south -- note the direction: it's important! -- and imposing their brand of the Religion of Peace(TM), complete with Sharia Law, on the Middle East and however much more of the world the craven Western powers allow.

Time now to explain why we're naming this version of the old movie "The Road to Armageddon". Here's a Biblical (DRV) reference: "And the Lord saidto me: From the north shall an evil break forth upon all the inhabitants of the land. Jeremias 1:14 (DRV). 

Now take a look at a map of the Middle East.  If the "families of the kingdoms of the north" come once again to attack the gates of Jerusalem (1:15), the road they will take goes right past... or through... a little place called Megiddo, indicated with the red marker on the map..

That's "Megiddo" as in "Mount Megiddo", which is not really a mountain but a "tell", a city built on top of a city built on top of another city, and so on for 5000 years. During the Bronze Age, Megiddo was an important Canaanite city-state. During the Iron Age, it was a royal city in the Kingdom of Israel.

Megiddo is mentioned only once in the New Testament of the Bible, but has sixteen mentions in the Old Testament, notably in Chapters 4 and 5 of the book of Judges.

Among the judges, the only female, and the only one to be called a prophet is Deborah (aka Debbora), a decisive figure in the defeat of the Canaanites. This is a victory told in two accounts, a prose narrative in Judges 4 and a poem, known as the Song of Deborah, in Judges 5. At Judges 4:6 "she sent and called Barac...and said to him: The Lord God of Israel hath commanded thee: Go, and lead an army." 

And so he did. In the 15th century B.C., God gave the victory at the battle of Megiddo (Judges 5:19) through those who are willing to follow His lead. 

For Christians the word Megiddo is synonymous with the end of the world as mentioned in the Apocalypse of Saint John the Apostle (aka Revelation) 16:16. Other battles, besides the one mentioned in Judges, were fought at Megiddo, as recently as World War I. 

"Har-Megiddo" (Hebrew for the "mount" of "mountain" of Megiddo) or Armageddon, will be the site of the Final Battle.

At that time, according to Apocalypse 6:1-8 (DRV), God will release onto the world four horsemen -- the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

The Four Horsemen appear with the opening of the first four of the seven seals that bring forth the cataclysm of the Apocalypse. 

The first horseman, a conqueror with a bow and crown, rides a white horse.

The second horseman is given a great sword and rides a red horse, symbolizing war and bloodshed.

The third carries a balance scale, rides a black horse, and symbolizes famine 

The fourth horseman rides a pale horse and is identified as Death.

It's hard to look at the events unfolding right now without wondering if the Final Battle has not begun. I'm afraid to repeat my usual "Stay tuned."

VIDEO: "Allahu akbar!" in Austin TX

Earlier today, on NBC’s Meet the Press, Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said the American military strikes on Iran mean "the mothership of terrorism is sinking." Maybe so, and the sooner the better, but what the powers that be must recognize is that a lot of the crew were safely ashore in the US of A and other Western countries (Hello, Canada!) years ago! 

1000s of Islamic terrorists -- jihadi wannabes -- have crossed our countries' porous borders as "asylum-seekers" or "refugees" fleeing the murderous Muslim regimes of the Islamic Republic of Iran and other states of the Middle East and northern Africa. 

We welcome them as victims of oppression and treat them to housing, food, medical care and other benefits that our citizens have to work for and taxpayers pay for. Hell, we even give them money for "learing centers" where students learn to shout "Death to America!" and (of course) "Allahu akbar!"

One such is 53-year old Ndiaga Diagne, the black(ish) follower of the Prophet who shot up a bar in Austin TX early this morning, killing two people and wounding 14 others. Check out this video, and after that we'll tell you what the lickspittle media didn't. 

What went unreported is that the murderer was wearing a sweatshirt that said "Property of Allah" and another shirt with an Iranian flag design. That's according to an unnamed law enforcement official and "another person familiar with the case", both of whom spoke to AP "on background" because they weren't authorized to tell the whole truth to the American people.

Ndiaga Diagne is originally from Senegal, according to multiple people briefed on the investigation. He is said to have come to the US of A in 2006 -- a winner in the Green Card Lottery perhaps -- and was a naturalized American citizen.

The FBI -- the same folks who said traditional Catholics are potential revolutionaries -- said its joint terrorism task force team members, as well as other specialty teams, were investigating, and that there were "indicators of terrorism" related to the shooting. No shit, Sherlock!

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."

"Allahu akbar!" in D.C.

I'm sure all of you are following this story. Click here to read the "Allahu akbar!" report from Brietbart News. Then check out this news flash.

 

Yes, folks, the attacker who wounded two members of the National Guard (one of them mortally, it appears) is an Afghan national, one of the 1000s of our "friends" who helped us (LOL) in Afghanistan and then were imported by Demented Joe Biden without any vetting whatsoever. 

The theory is that less than 1% of those who weren't screened might be jihadis. If there were 2000 of them (who knows the real number?), 1/10th of 1% would be... let's see [he's using his calculator. Ed.], two... count `em, 2! But one (1) is all it takes to kill one or more of those who serve and protect.

The part that burns my ring is that the "authorities" are saying that Rahmanullah Lakanwal's motive remains unclear! They've sent him to a psychiatric hospital to have his wig picked. Want me to tell you what they're going to find? Nothing. Nothing! (Lifetime pct .987) 

He's just your typical Islamic extremist whose belief is that it is his duty to kill all infidels. Period. But our lickspittle media won't say that because... "Islamophobia", you know. Mustn't spread hatred. We all worship the same god, except that they call their version "Allah" and seem to have a different understanding than our God of what is to be done with unbelievers.

UPDATED: "Allahu akbar!" en "la France profonde"

"La France profonde" is what the French call the deepest and most picturesque parts of their country. Éric Zemmour, an essayist and polemicist-turned candidate for the presidency, declared, "Just a few years ago, places like the Île d’Oléron, an island in the Bay of Biscay near Rochefort, were refuges for those who still wanted to live in a preserved France."

For that reason, Île d’Oléron is almost never in the news. Except for today. The second sentence in M Zemmour's statement is "The situation is such that we see jihadists emerging everywhere in France." 

Including Île d’Oléron, where at least 10 people, including pedestrians and a cyclist, were deliberately run down by a motorist said by police to have cried, "Allahu Akhbar!"

One of the worst injured is a political aide to a Rassemblement National (Marine Le Pen's National Rally) politician, who was run over while jogging at the beach, and has been airlifted to hospital in a state of "absolute emergency". 

Giving an update during a visit to the Île d’Oléron, a spokethingy for the French Minister of the Interior said the as yet unnamed [Try "Mohammed". Ed.] suspect is "not saying much." At least not in French.

The arrested suspect is a 35-year-old man, a resident of a nearby community, known to officers for small-time criminal activity and drug use. A criminal case of attempted murder has been opened, but despite the Islamist war cry uttered at the time of the man’s arrest, the local prosecutor told the meeja "At the time of his arrest, he shouted 'Allah Akbar!' However, the motive has not been confirmed and the investigation will have to determine it."

Counter-terrorism police are on scene but have not yet taken control of the investigation. The car used in the apparent attack was torched by the assailant as he attempted to flee on foot. It contained multiple gas cylinders, implying an attempt to cause an explosion, but Inspector Clouseau of the gendarmerie says they need to investigate further.

Conservative commentators and politicians spoke out to decry the perpetrator, the attack, and to note in particular how what they called "Islamist terror" has spread to even la France profonde. Jordan Bardella, the Parliamentary leader of the Rassemblement National, called for a strict punishment for the perpetrator of what he called "blind and deliberate violence."

His party colleague, MP Sébastien Chenu, reflected that nowhere is safe from "this phenomenon" any more and called on the state to fight the "Islamist hydra", saying, "The Islamist threat has never been stronger. This is a war that must be waged here and now. Our country has already paid a heavy price to Islamism."

UPDATE ADDED 6/11/25:  French prosecutors said today that the driver who deliberately ran over and injured several pedestrians and cyclists invoked Allah during police questioning. "He justified his actions by saying that he was following the commands of Allah, who had ordered him to make a sacrifice," said public prosecutor Arnaud Laraize told the meeja in La Rochelle."He said he wanted to die by self-immolation, but failed to blow up his vehicle."

The failure of multiculturalism: the British and Irish examples

For decades now the liberal democratic governments of the AABC countries (America, Australia, Britain, and Canada) as well as western Europe, notably France and (above all) Germany, have forced on their people the premise of the Great Replacement, i.e. that multiculturalism is a Good Thing.

It is not. Enter "multiculturalism" in the search window above and you will find numerous articles on the subject proving that the premise is wrong and reporting the results of the disastrous experiment in One-Worldism and the attempt to force human persons to love one another. You'll also find links to a number of videos which have been scrubbed from YouTube by the wokesters who refuse, like the Three Wise Monkeys, to see the truth which is there to be seen.

Today we present yet another article on the failure of multiculturalism, this one by London-based journalist Michael Murphy. Mr Murphy created a fine documentary entitled "Ireland is full! Anti-immigration backlash in Ireland", which we suggest you watch ASAP, before it too disappears. Mr Murphy writes:

Now we know what globalizing the intifada looks like. In Manchester last week, a rabbi addressed his congregation in a robe stained with blood. Hours earlier, on Yom Kippur, Judaism’s holiest day, a jihadi terrorist rammed a car into worshippers at the gates of a synagogue before going on a stabbing spree. By the time officers shot the attacker, two were dead and four more injured, some from accidental police fire.

To show they would not be cowed by violence, the congregation resumed their prayers as Britain’s Special Air Service (SAS) forces patrolled outside. Underneath the defiant posture, though, many of them will likely have wondered whether Britain remains a safe home for Jews. For the first time in centuries, the answer is not straightforward. Neither are the solutions to this predicament. 

Britain’s multicultural project rested on assumptions that have not survived contact with reality. We told ourselves immigrants would assimilate, or at least bring only harmless aspects of their cultures with them. Diversity was held up as our greatest strength. It has been apparent for some time that this was a monumental act of self-delusion. While many immigrants do share our values and become productive members of society, the people who don’t are more numerous than we have long cared to admit, and are wreaking havoc.

Consider the Manchester killer. Jihad al-Shamie was born in Syria and brought to the United Kindgom as a child, attaining citizenship in the mid-2000s. With that passport he was thenceforth regarded by our institutions as British. The problem is that when a bearded man in a suicide vest begins murdering Jews “in the name of the Islamic State,” as he put it, what once seemed like a harmless accommodation becomes an affront to the British people themselves. 

Al-Shamie was less an example of diversity being our strength than a life-long liability. He dropped out of university, spent his life unemployed and housed at public expense, and was earlier this year arrested for rape. His online footprint is limited to a 2012 death threat against a parliamentarian who had defended Israel.

What kind of society not only tolerates but subsidizes such a man? The same country that, when the Islamist refugee Salman Abedi murdered 22 people at a Manchester concert in 2017, consoled itself with the pop lyric “don’t look back in anger.” The same country that for decades ignored the rape of thousands of white girls by mostly Pakistani grooming gangs to avoid accusations of racism. A country that insisted Islam is simply a “religion of peace,” even as Islamism continued to inspire atrocities on its soil.

This posture is clearly self-destructive. It breeds resentment among the native population, and cynicism among immigrants, including those who have fully embraced British society, culture and norms, and who now see Britain as unwilling to defend itself. It has now also made life unsafe for other minorities. 

Britain spent centuries dissolving its own tribal rivalries to unite under the banner of one nation. But it has since managed within two generations to begin to re-tribalize. Its melting pot has proved too lukewarm. Take al-Shamie’s father, Faraj, a trauma surgeon who publicly denounced his son’s killings. He seemed at first to be the model immigrant, until his own views were unearthed: he had called on social media for Israel’s destruction, also praising Hamas and even Hitler. The rot in this case, as with many others, was inter-generational. 

The authorities may have missed a window in 2012 to flag al-Shamie. But they arguably missed a greater opportunity to prevent his family coming to the U.K. in the first place. It has long been a matter of liberal etiquette to pretend that all immigrants arrive with only superficial differences and are, in the round, a net bonus to Britain. 

This mantra has helped the establishment dismiss calls for a more selective admissions system. Yet, too many migrants arrive with the prejudices and ideological baggage one might expect. Polling by the Henry Jackson Society, for instance, found that 53% of British Muslim men believe Jews have too much power, while fewer than a quarter think enforcing Sharia law would be undesirable. 

Al-Shamie senior’s admiration for Hamas is also far from unusual. While most British Muslims would no doubt abhor the murder of Jews, there is a dissonance in the fact that many of them are supportive of Hamas, which is dedicated to killing Jews. Clearly, immigrants need to be more thoroughly screened before they are admitted. 

This reality undermines a central pillar of Britain’s immigration mythology. We convinced ourselves that the great danger was native prejudice against newcomers, despite the country’s exemplary tolerance. The far greater threat has been importing hatreds we had long tamed within our own society. 

At core, Britain’s multicultural experiment is failing because we insisted on seeing the world in our own image. Rather than admit it, our leaders have constructed an alternative reality in which failures are repackaged as opportunities for cohesion, with the leaders of otherwise siloed communities uniting briefly to denounce extremists. But the problem is far more daunting, and possibly intractable, than our politicians are willing to admit.

This post is a shortened version of "British multiculturalism has failed", which appeared in Canada's National Post, 11/10/25.

UPDATED: "Allahu akbar!" in Manchester UK

Today is Yom Kippur -- the Day of Atonement -- the holiest day in the Jewish calendar. In grimy Manchester, a post-industrial city in the Disunited Kingdom, there are two fewer Jews to attone.

And one less [insert whatever adjective you think fits] terrorist two. Police say they have shot a suspect in an attack outside a synagogue in the north of Manchester in which two people were killed, adding they are treating it as a "terrorist" attack. 

Greater Manchester Police said in a series of posts on X today that they were called to the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation synagogue in Crumpsall shortly after 0930 BST by a member of the public, who said he had witnessed a car being rammed into people and that one man had been stabbed. 

Police confirmed that two people were killed in the attack, and a third person, suspected to be the attacker, who was shot dead by police. The Peelers could not confirm if the suspect was dead "due to safety issues surround suspicious items [read: explosives] on his person." Nor could they give any information on the attacker's identity, background, religion or possible motivation. The lickspittle media have already broadcast the usual disclaimers.

If it turns out that our suspicions are correct, you might hear about it on your local TV outlet, following the sports and weather. Or not. But you'll get the truth right here on WWW.

UPDATE ADDED at 1410 FMT: Suspicions confirmed! Here's the stabby Jew-killer, identified as a 35-year-old British citizen of Syrian descent, named (appropriately enough) Jihad Al-Shamie.

Inspector Knacker of the Manchester constabulary told reporters, "We are now able to confirm that, although formal identification is yet to take place, we believe the person responsible for today’s attacks is 35-year-old Jihad Al-Shamie." He did not, however, say anything about Mr Al-Shamie's possible motive. Sez Walt, "shame, shame on Shamie!"

France braces for another wave of Muslim "refugees"

[Cue theme music from Twilight Zone.] Imagine, if you will, that the population of your country is, by fiat of the United Nations (read: One World Government), increased by over 3%... overnight! Imagine too that all the newcomers don't speak your language, worship your God, or share your values. And they expect you to welcome them, feed them, house them, and ensure that they have a standard of living equal to that you've worked for all your life. 

If you live in France, what you're imagining could seen be your reality, as France's National Court of Asylum (CNDA) ruled yesterday that all Palestinians living in the Gaza Strip will be eligible for the first time to apply for asylum in France.

The CNDA ruled in favour of a Palestinian mother, a Muslim, who sought asylum in France in the wake of the October 7th terror attacks on Israel, for which other Muslims -- the Islamist Hamas -- were responsible. Makes sense, eh? Errr, maybe not. The court said the "war methods"” of the Israeli Defence Force in Gaza -- not the Islamists but the Israelis -- were "serious enough to be regarded as methods of persecution."

According to Le Figaro, the case paved the way for the CNDA to declare that all Palestinians living in Gaza should be entitled to asylum protection in France. All of them. All 2.2 million!

The court based its decision on the Geneva Convention, which says that people who face "persecution for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion," should be considered "refugees". The court specifically cited the supposed persecution based on "nationality" faced by Palestinians in Gaza, even though France, like most other nations, doesn't recognize Palestine as a state. 

Nevertheless, the judges said that they possessed the "characteristics" of a nationality, which according to the Convention include belonging to a "group determined by its cultural, ethnic or linguistic identity, common geographical or political origins or its relationship with the population of another state." Those lawyers sure have a way with words, don't they.

While the ruling is novel in declaring that all Palestinians are "persecuted" by the evil Israelis, legal experts noted that it would likely only impact around 20% of the population of Gaza. Why? Because 80% of the "Gazans" are already classified as "refugees" by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA)and are therefore already eligible for protection in France.

 Although the ruling was hailed by leftist groups such as Amnesty International, others expressed concern about allowing more Palestinians into France. One of the skeptics is Henda Ayari, a former Muslim turned anti-Islamist activist and female rights campaigner, who said, "While France is already grappling with explosive community tensions, it chooses today to unconditionally welcome refugees from Gaza, even though more than 30 Muslim countries refuse to take them in."

"Why," Ms Ayari asks, "should France, once again, play the role of humanitarian substitute while others categorically refuse to host these populations in their countries? We're talking about a region where Hamas recruits, where Islamist ideology and anti-Semitic, anti-Western hatred are deeply rooted, where many celebrated the massacres of October 7. 

"We cannot pretend to believe that they are all 'innocent victims.' Some of these individuals who will arrive in France may have participated in, supported, or condoned terrorism. And tomorrow? They will be housed, fed, and supported at the expense of French taxpayers… while our retirees are dying and our neighbourhoods are exploding."

"Free Palestine!" (the new "Allahu akbar!") in Boulder CO

Looks like "Free Palestine!" is the new "Allahu akbar!", at least in English-speaking countries. That's what Mohamed Sabry Soliman was yelling in Boulder CO yesterday as he used a homemade flamethrower [Ed., see if you can find a "how to" video on YouTube] to torch several Jews, including children, who had gathered to call for Hamas to release the Israeli hostages.

Kind of a strange look for a fanatical follower of the Religion of Peace, but the FBI has confirmed that Mr Soliman is a 45-year-old Egyptian national whose visa, granted during the Biden administration, expired in March of this year.  

They also confirm that he used a Molotov cocktails, shown in the photos, along with a flamethrower to attack elderly demonstrators belonging to "Run For Their Lives", a grassroots organization that facilitates global run and walk events calling for the release of Israeli hostages held by Hamas. 

In a departure from the usual obfuscation about the motive being unclear, the authorities now concede that the dastardly attack was "targeted". They have so far refrained, though, from pronouncing the words "Islamic" or "terrorism".  

Mr Soliman is resting comfortably in hospital, recovering from minor burns, while the usual suspects organize mostly peaceful protests about racism, police brutality and the "Israeli genocide" in Gaza.

UPDATED: "Allahu Akbar!" in Europe... again???

Today is the Muslim sabbath, a day when followers of the Prophet go to the mosque... or into a crowded market to perpetrate another in a long line of attacks on innocent civilians who have welcomed them into their once-Christian countries.

This year alone, five people were injured in a violent spree in Amsterdam, while three months ago a teenage boy was killed in a similar attack in Austria. The authorities described the latter as "an Islamic incident".

The Netherlands, Austria, and today Germany. This evening at least 12 people were injured in a knife attack at Hamburg Central Station. What's unusual about this one is that, according to Bild, a woman was arrested at the scene. 

In keeping with official policies, in a country where the government thinks "right-wing extremism" is the greatest threat, die Polizei have yet to confirm that the suspect was woman, or to provide any information about her (?) citizenship, ethnicity, or religion.

Of course we shouldn't jump to the usual conclusion. Mustn't stoke the fires of Islamophobia. 

The perp might not have been a woman at all. "She" might have been a man hiding under a hijab, like the one pictured at left. And so far there have been no ear-witness reports of shouts of "Allahu akbar!"

Still, as far as Ed. can remember, we've only been wrong about this once. We'll let you know if further details disprove our assumption. Let's not forget that the Islamic terrorists are engaged in a jihad, a "holy war". They are out to kill us "infidels". All of us. 

UPDATE ADDED 24/5/25 @ 0701 FMT: Die Polizei are now describing the assailant as "Caucasian". So? There are many Caucasians -- people whose family or ancestors come from the Caucasus, e.g. Chechens in rebellion against Russia -- who are Muslims. You can be a Caucasian and still be an illegal immigrant or an asylum-seeker or bogus refugee.

UPDATED: "Allahu akbar!" in Germany, again?

Walt had no sooner posted "Fasching season cancelled in Munich for fear of another Muslim attack" (see below), when the mojo wire spat out news of... wait for it... another Muslim attack!

In Mannheim, in the German state of Baden-Württemberg, die Polizei have arrested a man, so far unidentified, who "allegedly" [as they always say. Ed.] drove a black SUV into a crowd of people this morning, seriously injuring many, including one who was possibly killed.

Police have ordered the public to keep away from the area shown in the picture above, near Mannheim's city centre. A local newspaper spoke of a "rampage" by the alleged driver and of at least one fatality. The Stuttgarter Zeitung reports that "debris was visible at the scene and at least one person was lying covered under a tarpaulin."

Die Rheinpfalz notes that officers "confirm rampage" and that one person has died. No further information has been made public yet, but Bild states police sources say the death toll has risen to two, and that 25 are injured. Frankfurter Runschau states University Hospital Mannheim has been activated, with trauma teams set up to deal with a "mass event".

Police have yet to make any comment on the cause of this incident or whether there is any known motive. Readers will forgive us, I think, for jumping to the usual conclusion. As I said in the previous post, the driving of vehicles at high speeds into crowds is something that has become all too familiar in German cities recently. There's no denying that adherents of "the Religion of Peace" are engaging in jihad -- a holy war against us "infidels"!

UPDATE added 4/3/25: According to media reports, the perpetrator of the Mannheim atrocity is Alexander S. from Ludwigshafen. He only posted dog videos and a video of a street artist painting over swastikas. 

He did not share any political content on his Facebook page, so it's difficult to attribute any ideology to him. One can't say that he's a jihadi. So also, one can't he isn't a jihadi. Perhaps we'll learn more if he faces trial, instead of being confined to a mental institution to avoid embarrassment of the authorities. Stay tuned.

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.

VIDEOS: V-P J.D. Vance speaks frankly about security and free speech

Still catching up after much time spent amongst the winter's snows. In Munich, Germany, on February 14th, Vice-President Vance delivered one of the best speeches of his life. This was within hours of yet another Islamic terrorist attack, and J.D. pulls no punches in speaking truth to the European liberal elites about "the enemies within" our Western civilization. Only 20 minutes, a must watch.

This video is closing on 1.5 million views on YouTube, and deservedly so. You'll find a transcript on the YT page, useful in following along. 

Were the Euro-wienies paying attention? We're coming down to crunch time on Russia's war of aggression against the Ukraine, and on the vital question of European security. Thanks to President Trump's new approach to foreign policy, we're on the verge of a new Cold War. Time for the fence-sitters to jump one way or another.

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.
