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.

PVV leader Geert Wilders: We have to reclaim our streets!

Geert Wilders is the leader of the Partij Voor de Vrijheid (PVV) (Party for Freedom) and Vice-President of the Parliament of the Netherlands. He contributed this article to Breitbart News. The emphasis in the final paragraph is Walt's.

Following a football match, rioters in Paris went on a rampage in the French capital, looting shops setting cars on fire, attacking, even firing at police officers. 

Videos and television footage showed that many rioters had an immigrant background. It is a scene Europeans have become all too familiar with – not just in France, but all over the continent. 

In the past decades, Europe’s ruling elites have allowed millions of immigrants from Africa and the Islamic world to settle in our midst. Some of them hate their host country to the extent that they want to destroy it. They loot and vandalize, assault and rape, and even murder.

Leading politicians – such as Emmanuel Macron in France, Rob Jetten in my own Netherlands, Ursula von der Leyen in Brussels, and many others in their ivory towers – think that people do not notice what is going on. But they do notice, and they are deeply worried. They want the chaos to stop. They also realize the root cause of our societal break-down: Mass immigration by people who contribute absolutely nothing to our societies and reject our cultural values. 

While our cities begin to resemble war zones, our governments continue their march of folly. In my country, the authorities want to force literally every municipality in the Netherlands to house a quota of asylum seekers. These fortune seekers, many of whom are young men, are being lodged in hotels, holiday resorts, former schools, former army barracks, even on cruise ships.

I have called on the Dutch people to resist – firmly, but always in a non-violent manner – the establishment of centres for asylum seekers in their neighbourhoods. I have recently begun a nation-wider resistance tour, visiting local communities where the authorities are planning new asylum centres.

The response has been overwhelming. The mainstream media do not report on the protests because the demonstrators are peaceful and law-abiding. It is not our people who go rampaging in the streets, ravaging their neighbourhoods! We are not conquerors like the thugs in the streets of Paris; we defend our homes. We do not destroy our communities; we love them. 

We do not loot our neighbours; we protect them. We do not harass and attack our women; we stand up for them. It all boils down to the culture of love that drives the patriots defending Europe, versus the culture of hatred that drives those eager to to destroy it.

Societies cannot exist without a shared set of moral values. Since the 1970s, governments, aided by supranational organizations such as the EU and various UN bodies, have begun to impose a doctrine of relativism and multi-culturalism, opening Europe’s doors to literally millions of foreigners who have little in common with us. As a result, Europe has slowly transformed into Eurabia. 

No one can deny that the neighbourhoods with the largest concentrations of Islamic newcomers are the most prone to violence. Mass immigration by people from cultures that have not been shaped by the basic forces of European civilization has eaten away at law and order, the foundation of our free societies.

Mass immigration has also created a new electorate for political parties. The “mainstream” parties actively search for the Islamic vote. This phenomenon has become increasingly important because the Islamic population has continuously grown, thereby becoming a power broker in elections. 

Political parties compete with each other by giving in to Islamic demands, such as an anti-Israeli foreign policy, the prosecution of so-called "Islamophobic" individuals, and the abandonment of entire neighbourhoods to Islamic gangs, which the police are instructed not to "provoke."

It is urgent that patriotic politicians organize a national wave of peaceful resistance. We demand an immediate asylum stop, encouragement of remigration, and compulsory remigration of criminal migrants. Europe is still ours. If we want to keep it that way, we have to rise up en masse. Non-violently but firmly and with determination, we have to reclaim our streets. If we do, we can still win. The time to act is now.

Yeah, sure, Holy Father... if such you are! Investigation under way!

Seriously? Is it possible even that the Wokest Pope Ever can be that naïve? 

Or is it possible (as some "radtrad" Catholics argue) that Leo XIV is not really the Pope? In a post published a couple of days ago on his Return to Tradition vlog but since taken down, Anthony Stine repeated a story that originated with Italian journalist Andrea Cionci. John-Henry Westen's exclusive on LifeSite News is headlined thus:

Vatican court confirms ongoing investigation into validity of 

Pope Benedict’s resignation 

This is the first time the Vatican’s criminal investigative office has put in writing that multi-year claims have triggered an active investigation file on the validity of Benedict’s renunciation.

In a letter dated 30 March 2026 (reproduced in the article), the authenticity of which has been proven, ), Professor Alessandro Diddi, the Vatican's Promoter of Justice, rejected a request for access to the investigative file. The rejection was made solely on procedural grounds during an ongoing inquiry, not because the petition was deemed without merit.

Cazart! If the court finds that Pope Benedict's resignation was made under durerss, and was therefore invalid, everything done by Francis the Talking Pope and his minions, is invalid! That would include the elevation of Father Robert Francis Prevost, who was named a bishop and then a cardinal by Francis, who his Leonine successor is now rushing to canonize.

The Vatican is doing all it can to deep six the fact of the investigation. Walt guesses that pressure was brought on Dr Stine, perhaps by the bishop of the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City, in which he resides. And, other than Mr Westen, no Catholic commentator that I follow has picked up the report. I'm waiting to hear from Dr Taylor Marshall and Michael Matt, but they have been silent so far.  

Of course it could turn out to be nothing. Do we really think a Vatican court will rule that nothing said or done by anyone since 13 March 2013 [A numerologist might have some fun with this date. Ed.] is of any effect? Still... stay tuned!

Welcome to the Islamic Zone

Which is worse - Islamophobia or Islamic terrorism?

Scraped from Blazing Cat Fur.

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!

VIDEO: The AI heroine that England's loony lefties don't want you to see

Notice I said "England", not "Britain" [and certainly not "Great Britain"! Ed.]? That's because the AI heroine is Waifu Amelia, an independent, subversive, England-loving, purple-haired Goth girl taking online, disgruntled Brits by storm.

Amelia's fictional backstory is that she's a schoolgirl who deeply loves British flags and culture. Wild child that she looks, Amelia is immensely proud of her country and has a real problem with the state of the so-called United Kingdom today. 

She sees the hordes of immigrants being allowed to pour into the Septic Isle not as an asset but as an invasion. And she's pissed that any public manifestation of British pride is immediately quashed by a nascent, tyrannical government now preying on its citizens, while indulging and encouraging the worst in the newcomers flooding into the tiny island. 

The problem with Amelia, according to British authorities, is that her outspoken and unfiltered views are all wrong... politically incorrect in the extreme! The discomfiture of the ruling Labour (read: leftist) party is exemplified by the booby bobby wearing a rainbow vest, arresting the old man who is stuttering, "What did I do?", to which the answer is "You tweeted rudely, and you're under arrest!"

The cheeky, freedom- and England-loving Amelia has become an icon, and that's hilarious considering where she originated. Waifu Amelia is the British government's own creation and has been around for a couple of years.

She was a bit player in Pathways, a nanny-state online game created by the government for yoofs in an effort to warn them off "right-wing extremism". She was meant to be "the far-right, anti-immigration bad girl" who tries to sway a tender and impressionable kid to join her on the wrong (read: right) side of the tracks.

The campaign turned out to be a spectacular own goal. Here's what Waifu Amelia stands for now!

Thanks to BCF for pointing us in the right direction! Ed.

"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.

VIDEO: Voice of the people: "Get the f*ck out of my country!"

The Arab community in Dearborn MI has grown since the early 20th century, with waves of immigration from countries like Lebanon, Yemen, and Iraq, initially driven by jobs at Ford Motor Company. Now Dearborn has the largest Muslim population per capita in the United States.

In 2023, Dearborn became the first American city with a majority-Arab population, with about 55% of residents claiming Middle Eastern or North African ancestry. This once-white community features the largest mosque in North America and numerous Arab and Muslim organizations. 

Here's what Jake Lang, one of the few remaining white American residents, told the Dearborn Council on November 18th.

"You make all of our country look like the places that you fled from. We don’t want you here. Respectfully, get the fuck out of my country!" Well said, that man!

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!"

VIDEO: "Allahu akbar!" in Marseille

We have an interesting example today of the cognitive dissonance between what we see with our eyes and what the mainstream media -- woke or (as we used to say) politically correct that they are -- tell us. First let's see the video.

Now here's the story, as reported by virtually all the major Western media.

A man who went on a stabbing rampage in the southern French city of Marseille injured at least five people before he was shot dead by police, authorities said. 

Local prosecutor Nicolas Bessone said that the attack was carried out on Tuesday afternoon by a Tunisian national with legal residency status. Bessone said that the suspect had been expelled from his hotel for not paying his rent. He returned armed with two knives and a baton, first attacking someone in the room he had previously occupied. He then attacked the hotel manager before turning on the manager’s son and stabbing him in the back. 

One of the victims stabbed at the hotel was in a critical condition and the other two were also seriously wounded. Customers chased him away from the restaurant on Cours Belsunce, a few minutes' walk from the Old Port. Police then arrived at the scene where they opened fire with a taser and guns. 

The prosecutor added that the man, who he described as a Tunisian national who was legally resident in France but known to police, continued his rampage in a nearby snack bar and in the streets, trying to injure people at random, before he was "neutralised" by police. He said the investigation was in its early stages and that the motive of the assailant was not known.

And that's all we're told. The perp isn't named but your dollar will get five of Walt's if he's not a "Mohammed". He's legally resident in France, they say, but how he came to France is not disclosed? Is he a "refugee" or asylum-seeker from peaceful Tunisia? 

 And what about his religion? If he's not "Mohammed" by name, he is certainly Mohammedan -- a follower of the Prophet, a Muslim -- by religion. This is relevant because, according to a hard right news source, the "religious and incoherent things" mentioned in the video caption included... wait for it... "Allahu akbar!"

Of course it wouldn't do for the lickspittle media to say that. Mustn't stoke the fires of Islamophobia. But guess what? The common people of France (and all the other countries overrun by the Islamic hordes) have already figured it out. The only problem is that the common people have no control over the liberal governments who protect and coddle the terrorists they have allowed into our countries.

Can you legislate love and hate? More anti-hate laws coming...

Crackdown on illegal immigrants worries and angers Muslims

Doesn't look like LA, does it. Well, it's not. It's Gurugram, an upscale suburb just outside Delhi, India. But, come to think of it, there are similarities with the City of the Angels. Gleaming SUVs, futuristic skyscrapers and neat apartments stand in stark contrast to nearby homeless encampments and feces-strewn streets.

Unlike the slums of LA, those of Gurugram are inhabited by people who aren't living off food stamps and the proceeds of dealing drugs, but working! They are migrant workers -- mostly domestic helpers, garbage-pickers and daily-wage workers. Last month, the Indian version of ICE rounded up hundreds of them, mostly Bengali-speaking Muslims from India's West Bengal state.

The mass arrests are part of a "verification" drive targeting illegal Bangladeshi immigrants. The suspects were detained and kept at "holding centres" (not to be confused with "concentration camps") where they were asked to provide documents to prove their citizenship. 

Many allege they were beaten and mistreated by police during the process. Ather Ali Sheikh told the BBC, "I had my voter and national ID cards, but they told me they were fake. I spent six days not knowing my fate before I was finally released." How very misfortunate for him!

Hundreds of migrant workers have fled overnight, abandoning jobs, homes and, in some cases, even families in their haste to escape. "I still don't understand why they suddenly came after me," Mr Sheikh said. Behind him, his wife hurriedly packed their belongings - torn clothes, old utensils and school books - into flimsy boxes. "Was it because of my language, my religion or because I am poor? Why weren't the rich Bengali residents held up?" 

Police in Gurugram deny targeting any particular community. "Neither religion nor class has anything to do with the drive," spokesthingy Sandeep Kumar told the Beeb. He added that out of the 250 people picked up, only 10 have been identified as illegal migrants and will actually be deported. "Everyone else was released. No one was mistreated at the centres. We have been completely fair and objective." 

Crackdowns on alleged illegal immigrants from Muslim-majority Bangladesh are not new in India. The countries are divided by a porous 2500-mile-long border, which, ever since the partition of India, has seen waves of movement of people on both sides. But these efforts seem to have intensified under the government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Deportations are also under way in Delhi, where some 700 people were picked up and flown out to border states in the last six months. This has had a chilling impact on the marginalised community. In Gurugram, a sense of shock prevailed over their dust-blanketed colonies. "For years, we have cleaned and collected their garbage. Now we are being treated like it ourselves," said Rauna Bibi, a domestic worker.

The police say the detentions in Gurugram were made on the basis of strong preliminary evidence. You'll notice that the lady in the photo isn't so poor that she can't afford a phone with which to take a selfie. But the phone may have been her undoing. "We checked their phones," said the same police flak-catcher, "and found suspicious contacts from Bangladesh. Some of them also failed to answer questions about their ancestry during interrogation."

Suhas Chakma, a non-Muslim human rights worker, denies that the crackdown is motivated by Islamophobia. "The arrest of the Muslims appears to be more as they constitute about 95% of Bangladesh's population," he explained. But, he added, for a country that has seen an influx of refugees for decades, India does need a wider refugee law to address many of these complex issues.

"A wider refugee law." Right. Like that of... where??? Let it not be said that Prime Minister Modi is looking to President Trump for inspiration -- although he probably is. Let us instead wonder how much longer the prime ministers of Britain and Canada can get away with not taking similar measures before what's left of their countries' white  populace rise up in arms.

"Allahu akbar!" in Germany... just in time for the election

A federal election will be held in Germany on February 23rs to elect the 630 members of the 21st Bundestag. German lefties, wokesters and "anti-Nazis" are soiling their shorts in fear that Alternativ für Deutschland (AfD) will emerge strong enough to form a government, even without the co-operation of other parties. 

The lickspittle press, especially DW (the state broadcaster), characterizes AfD as "far right", "neo-Nazi", yada yada yada, because the main plank in their platform is to repatriate -- send back where they came from -- the hordes of Muslim invaders who have flooded into the Fatherland thanks to Angela Merkel and her successors. 

Why do they want the follwers of the Religion of Peace (TM) to go back to the Middle East and Africa? Because of incidents such as happened last night in Munich, when a 24-year-old Afghan asylum-seeker drove straight into a group of people injuring at least 28, some seriously.

Die Polizei, usually politically correct about crimes committed by Muslim invaders, were quick to say they are treating the incident as a "suspected attack". No shit, Schultz! The car accelerated before running into the crowd at a trade union rally. An officer fired one shot at the suspect before he was arrested.

Just a union-buster, maybe? Errr, no. The suspect, who police now say was known to them, was a poster boy for DEI and mass immigration. The unnamed [Shurely not "Mohammed"? Ed.] driver was a 24-year-old Afghan asylum-seeker with a record of theft and drug offences.

Walt is sure Mohammed (or Abdul or Omar...whatever) is not typical of the millions of poor and oppressed Muslims making their way towards Europe (and America too!) in search of a better life. Please don't listen to the Islamophobic tirades of the AfD and other racists and white supremacists. The followers of the Prophet come in peace... don't they?

"Islamophobia is irrational!" - Yeah... sure...

On Sunday, Walt had a visitor to our cabin in the pines, one of those unthinking liberal types who calls himself a Christian but repeats the tired old mantras: "We all worship the same God." "Everyone's equal in God's sight." and "All religions are the same." As he could see the red rising up the back of my neck, he topped this off with, "Do you really believe the Muslims are trying to invade our country and kill us all?!"

"Well yeah!" says I. "Look around you!" The visitor told me I was being irrational, and the subject was changed to something anodine. 

Today, I will send him the link to a statement made this morning by British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, in which he said that the murder of the three little girls pictured above at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class last year must lead to "fundamental change" in how the British state protects citizens, as well as a reckoning with threats from violent individuals whose behaviour and motives "challenge the traditional definition of terrorism."

Without giving us the new definition of terrorism, or ever once using the words "Islamic" or "Muslim", Sir Keir said the authorities need to answer "tough questions" about how why the violence-obsessed killer was not stopped before he stabbed the three girls to death in Southport last July. 

Mr Stammer announced that a public inquiry would investigate failings in the case of Axel Rudakubana, who injured another eight children, their instructor and a passer-by. For those who don't (or, like our visitor, choose not to) remember, our reports of the Manchester massacre maybe found here: "'Allahu akbar!' in Southport, England" and here: "Entering Week 2 of British race riots". On Monday, the first day of his trial, the Islamic terrorist -- for such he is -- unexpectedly changed his pleas to guilty. He is due to be sentenced on Thursday.

This week, half a year since the horrific event, we finally learn the truth about Axel Rudakubana, the truth that the politically correct British government, the police, and the lickspittle media have covered up right from the getgo.

The killer was referred to the government’s "Prevent" scheme three times before his attack in Southport. He was first referred to the anti-extremism programme om 2019, when he was a 13-year-old schoolboy. He was referred by teachers concerned by his obsession with school massacres. 

He was reportedly referred to Prevent twice in 2021 following his expulsion from the Range High School after staff were worried about his interest in the 2017 terror attacks, which included incidents in central London and the Manchester Arena bombing.

The referrals were not escalated, as "someone" decided that Rudakubana "did not hold a terrorist ideology" – the same reasoning used by police to justify the failure to charge him with terrorism offences. 

The bullshit meter on social went off the peg at the peak end as tensions mounted across the Disunited Kingdom. We'll show in blue examples of the politically correct bullshit fed to us by the British government and its minions.

Merseyside Police took the unusual step of issuing a statement that stressed the teenager being questioned was born in Cardiff. But confirmation that the killer was a British national did little to ease growing belief that the massacre was an Islamic State-inspired terrorist attack. 

Because Mr Rudakubana was not heard shouting "Allahu akbar!" (or anything) at the scene, and his family were devout Christians. there was nothing obvious that pointed to him being a Muslim convert or having any other ideology. During a press conference in Southport the evening of the attack, Serena Kennedy, the chief constable of Merseyside Police, said that while it was not being treated as terror-related, colleagues from counter-terror policing had offered to assist with the investigation.

Yet in the hours after the attack, police had searched the perp's home and found an al-Qaeda training manual along with what would soon be confirmed as ricin, the deadly toxin. The information was withheld from the public.  On the evening of July 31st, Mr Rudakubana was charged with three counts of murder, 10 counts of attempted murder and possession of "a bladed article" (like a knife? a machete? what?) in a public place. 

As with all suspects under the age of 18, he was not formally identified by the Peelers, leading to further claims that the full details were being covered up. Ya think?! Crucially, the teenager was not charged with terrorism offences relating to the al-Qaeda manual and ricin at that stage, waiting for another three months. 

While this may have been an operational decision to allow detectives more time to gather evidence of a motive, it also avoided stoking the growing disorder that was sweeping Britain. While visiting the scene the morning after the attack, Sir Keir was asked whether the killer had been on a terrorism watchlist. One heckler shouted, "How many more children are going to die on our streets?"

In a statement to the House of Commons a short time later, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper warned people against exploiting the attack to peddle misinformation and stir up community tension. But she didn't rule out a terrorist motive, telling MPs, "The investigation will, of course, pursue any contact the suspect may or may not have had with different agencies before the incident took place."

A spokesthingy for the Prime Minister added, "People should listen to the police, they should not do anything that is going to make the police’s job harder to manage the situation, to conduct their investigations. It is unhelpful [sic] to speculate on things like the motive and the circumstances around this."

Why do we call these statements bullshit? Because evidence found at Mr Rudakubana’s home immediately after murderous attack suggested that terrorism was indeed behind the atrocity. 

An al-Qaeda training manual found in Rudakubana’s bedroom provided a step-by-step guide to carrying out a terrorist attack. Bearing the title Military Studies in the Jihad Against the Tyrants: The Al-Qaeda Training Manual, the 180-page document was recovered by police hours after the teenager walked into the Taylor Swift holiday club in Southport and began stabbing children. 

The manual included a whole section on how to assassinate people with a knife and provided details of where on the body to stab someone to guarantee death. As well as providing terrorist instruction, the document -- which is available for purchase or download online -- offers religious justifications for waging jihad, complete with regular quotations from the Koran. 

It talks about the "overthrow of the godless regimes and their replacement with an Islamic regime". De Jerold Post, a former CIA operative turned academic and counter-terror specialist who edited the document in 2004, wrote in the preface: "The eighteen chapters of the Manual of Terror take the reader through a tour of al-Qaeda membership criteria, basic tradecraft, means and methods of communication, member safety, security, espionage, assassination and capture."

He added: "The tradecraft instructions are interwoven with Koranic justification designed to inspire the reader. There are detailed instructions on everything from ciphers to how to resist interrogation. But it is also a manual of terror with no less than four of the seventeen lessons or chapters devoted to techniques for assassination. But it is not merely a list of instructions, for it is also written to inspire the undercover operator as he carries on his dangerous work."

Apparently the discovery of this handbook for Islamic terrorists was not enough to convince the Bobbies that simply possessing the widely-available academic pamphlet proved that this was a terrorist incident. After all, Mr Rudakubana didn't confess or offer a single word of explanation since his arrest. Until Monday, when the Islamic terrorist pled guilty... with no explanation.

Are we crazy, then, to fear that fanatical followers of the Religion of Peace [TM] have invaded our countries, intending to replace our culture, religion and system of government with theirs? QED.

A car plowed into a crowd of people at a Christmas market in the German city of Magdeburg on Friday evening in an apparent deliberate attack. Eyewitnesses claimed that a driver drove directly into a large group of people gathered in a Christmas market. The German newspaper BILD reports that over 20 people were injured during the attack. It is currently unclear if anyone has died.  

The driver was immediately arrested, but die Polizei have so far not revealed his identity, ethnicity, religion, or status in Germany. They say only that his possible motive remain unclear. However... according to a spokesthingy for the government of the state of Saxony-Anhalt, the incident was an intentional attack. 

Are they perhaps jumping to the same conclusion as everyone except the police?

This is a developing story. In the unlikely event that we have rushed to an incorrect judgment, we will, of course, remove this meme.

SUSPICIONS CONFIRMED: Update added 21/12/24 at 0530.

Five people have been confirmed to have died in the attack, one of whom was a child. More than 200 people have been injured and at least 41 are in a critical condition. The toll had earlier been reported as two dead and 68 injured, but was revised to the much higher totals this morning, local time. None of the victims have been identified yet.

German media has identified the suspect as Taleb al-Abdulmohsen, a specialist in psychiatry and psychotherapy from the Saudi Arabian city of Hofuf, who moved to Germany in 2006 and lives in Bernburg, 25 miles south of Magdeburg. He has been recognised as a refugee since 2016.

So our suspicion that the murderer was -- for a time, at least -- a follower of Prophet was correct. Lifetime pct .987.

But here's the strange part. Frau Nancy Faeser, Germany's Interior Minister, told the meeja that it was "clear to see" that the suspect holds "Islamophobic" views. Let that sink in. "Islamophobic" ???!!!  She said Herr A is an outspoken critic of Islam on social media, and has promoted conspiracy theories regarding an alleged plot by German authorities to islamization Europe. We await clarification.

Further thought: Now the politically correct meeja are calling Herr A an "ex-Muslim". ??? If he's an apostate, and an Islamophobe, why would he perpetrate a typically Islamic terror attack? Did he think the crowd he drove into were all Muslims? "Car jihad" doesn't sound very "ex-Muslim" to us!

Is it too soon to jump to the usual conclusion?

This is a screen grab from a video seen on newscasts worldwide today. This bearded man, wielding a large sword, allegedly attacked several people in the east London suburb  of Hainault this morning, killing a 14-year-old boy and injuring four others. 

"A 36-year-old man" -- maybe not the man pictured? -- was arrested at the scene and is in the custody of the Old Bill. [Will non-Brits know what you mean? Ed.]

Police received calls around 0700 local time reporting that a vehicle had been driven into a house, and that people had been stabbed. 

The video shows a man wearing a yellow hoodie holding a long sword walking in the residential area. The attacker was tasered and apprehended within 22 minutes of the first call to police. Unfortunately,  within those 22 minutes, someone -- maybe the man in the video, maybe not -- stabbed five people. 

A 14-year-old boy was rushed to the hospital with serious injuries but, a police spokesthingy said, he "sadly died shortly afterwards," (Walt can't imagine anyone dying in any way but "sadly".) Two other members of the public were injured and are currently in the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Two cops were also stabbed and suffered "significant injuries requiring surgery."

What shall we make of these facts? The same police PR person made haste "to reiterate that at present we do not believe there is any ongoing threat to the wider community.” He added that police do not believe the attack to be terror-related. 

No doubt that is why they have refused to provide any information about the man who had his collar felt [Will non-Brits know what you mean? Ed.] except his age. They said nothing about any words or shouts -- such as "Allahu akbar!" -- which may have been uttered by the attacker.

So we won't say anything about the use of a curved sword, aka a scimitar -- "a single-edged sword with a convex curved blade associated with Middle Eastern, South Asian, or North African cultures." Nor will we run the usual meme. Not yet....

Sydney attack on Christian bishop WAS Islamic terrorism

The attempted murder of His Grace, Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel, while he was preaching the homily during the Sunday liturgy at Christ the Good Shepherd Assyrian Orthodox Church in the Sydney suburb of Wakely, Australia, has caused some dissension in our cabin in the woods. 

Some readers on Disqus amd elewhere pounced on Walt's first post, accusing me of jumping to the conclusion that the assailant was yet another jihadi wannabe. I was told I had a terminal case of Islamopbia, and criticized me for reposting this meme.

Ed. told me we the Aussie cops weren't disclosing the name of the teenage assailant or saying anything about his religious or other motivation, so maybe (Ed. said) just this one we jumped to the wrong conclusion. [We weren't alone! Ed.] So we edited the first post, and duly apologized the very next day (WWW 14/4/24), before all the facts were in.

The following day we posted the video, and I reiterated my suspicions. See  "For real, this time: 'Allahu akbar!' in Sydney", WWW 15/4/24. At that point, New South Wales still refused to say anything more than they were investigating what appeared to be a "lone wolf" attack by someone with emotional problems. And they still refused to utter words like "Islam" or "Muslim".

Now, almost two weeks after the dastardly attack, we have additional news about who the dastard was and who was behind him. Apparently he did not act alone, and his attempt on the life of the prelate did have some connection with some unspecified religion. Here is the report from AP. Please read it carefully and think about what's not being said, which we've indicated with [???].

Five teenagers accused of following a violent extremist ideology have been charged with a range of offences in an investigation that began with the stabbing of a bishop in a Sydney church, police said Thursday.

The five, aged from 14 to 17, were among seven boys arrested across southwest Sydney on Wednesday in a major operation by the Joint Counter-Terrorism Team. 

The team includes federal and state police as well as the Australian Security Intelligence Organization, the nation’s main domestic spy agency, and the New South Wales Crime Commission, which specializes in [???] extremists and organized crime.

Two boys, ages 16 and 17, have been charged with conspiring to engage in or planning a [???] terrorist act, a police statement said. The older boy was also charged with carrying a knife in public, it said. Two boys aged 14 and 17 were charged with possessing or controlling violent extremist material accessed online, police said. All five remained in police custody and were scheduled to appear before a children’s court Thursday. 

Two other boys arrested Wednesday had not been charged so far, police said. Three other juveniles and two men were being questioned by police but were not under arrest, police said. 

More than 400 police officers executed 13 search warrants Wednesday at properties across southwest Sydney and one in Goulburn, a city about 200 kilometers (120 miles) south of Sydney. New South Wales Police Deputy Commissioner David Hudson alleged Wednesday that the arrested boys "adhered to a religiously motivated, violent extremist ideology." [???]

That's all she wrote. Now ask yourself... What "religiously motivated, violent extremist ideology" do you suppose they're talking about? Once again, the woke police forces and the lickspittle media are censoring themselves, carefully refusing to use wordes like "Islamic", "Muslim", "jihad" or "jihadis", or anything that might fuel the fires of Islamophobia. 

But seriously now... do you think the "religiously motivated, violent, extremist ideology" could be anything other than The Religion of Peace (TM). C'mon now... Really??!! Dear infidel (non-Muslim) readers, please remember the old saying, "Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to kill you."

VIDEO: "Allahu akbar!" at Niagara Falls??? Questions arise

One of Walt's agents says that nothing ever happens in Niagara Falls NY. All the action, he claims, is on the pretty side of the river. Today was different. For those who missed it, we have some video from security cameras at the US side of The World's Longest Undefended Border (TM) crossing, timestamped about 1120 EST today.

What, dear reader, was your initial reaction to that video. Did you think it was probably just an accident? No biggie! Nothing here to see, folks!

That's the official party line [the Liberal Party and the Democratic Party. Ed.], which was rushed into print and onto the Web within a couple of hours of the "serious incident". The Powers That Be had to start the gaslighting PDQ because "right-wing" media had already starting using the T-word -- T as in Terrorism.

The T-word has been scrubbed from all the early reports in the lickspittle media, because in recent years people in Europe and North America have, for some strange reason, come to associate terrorism with the Religion of Peace (TM), Muslim jihadis, and, since last October 7th, Hamas. 

In Canada, the bought-and-paid-for media have been enjoined (by Bill M-106) from saying or writing anything that would stoke the fires of Islamophobia. See "If Canadians are Islamophobic, perhaps there's a reason", WWW 27/7/21. Most of the American media are no better.

But I digress. Here's what is known [admitted? Ed.] about what happened. The vehicle came from U.S. side of the border, travelled along Main Street at speeds estimated at 100 MPH, then became airborne and crashed into a US Customs and Border Patrol booth before bursting into flames. 

Two people in the vehicle that exploded were declared dead at the scene, and officials have said a third person believed to be a border employee was injured and taken to hospital, but has since been released. One of the occupants of the vehicle has been identified (but not named) as "a resident of western New York." 

Karen Kathy Hochul, the Democratic Governor of the Empire State, had this to say about that, "At this time there is no indication of a terrorist involved attack here at the Rainbow Bridge in Western New York." (My emphasis. Walt)

Later, Governor Hochul amplified her analysis. "If you can imagine this vehicle basically incinerated. Nothing is left but the engine. The pieces are scattered over 13, 14 booths. So it is a large scene, and it's going to take a lot of time… to be able to piece together the real story... It has not been determined to be an accident. You don't know whether the driver was intentional in how they drove… All I know is there was a horrific incident. A crash, an explosion, loss of life, but at this time, no known terrorist connection." 

I have some questions I'd like to ask.

* If the car wasn't "packed" with explosives" (as a law enforcement officer said before being silenced), what caused it to burst into flame? Even an EV wouldn't do that.

* How did police identify the "resident of western New York" whose body parts were "scattered over 13, 14 booths" by the force of the blast? And if his identity is known, why hasn't his name [not "Mohammed", surely! Ed.] and other information been released? 

* First reports said the vehicle was trying to get into the USA. It's clear from the videos that the opposite is true. So, if the occupants of the vehicle were trying to get out of the USA, why was that? 

* Were they on the run? From what? Or were they trying to get into Canada, to terrorize its famously Islamophile prime minister?

* Is it possible the deceased weren't Muslims, but Jews? (Just kidding.)

That's enough questions for today. Fortunately for Governor Hochul and all the other Authorities, whose ability to secure the World's Longest Etc border now seem even more suspect, the promised investigation will now have to wait until after the holiday weekend. Happy Thanksgiving, everone!
