Trump administration is enabling exile of Christians from Syria

Catherine Salgado points to how Christians are disappearing from the middle east, and one part sticks out in particular for pondering:

Between the Islamic civil war in Syria and the current dictatorship under the genocidal Syrian President Abu Mohammad al-Golani (also known as Ahmed al-Sharaa) and his terrorist group Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham, the Christian population of Syria has almost vanished. Within living memory, Lebanon was Christian; now it is mostly Muslim. In Iran and Iraq, ancient communities of Christians have shrunk almost to nonexistence. In Turkey, where Constantinople was once a glory of the Christian world, the Muslims have stolen Christian heritage and Christian lands. In Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and numerous other countries in the Middle East, Christians have disappeared or are barely hanging on. Gaza’s and Bethlehem’s Christian populations have dropped under Palestinian Authority control. This is the legacy of Islamic takeover. Israel stands out in the Middle East because its Christian population is actually growing. Christians can visit the holiest sites of our religion because of the Israeli government.

So as you see, Salgado doesn't hold back in her description of al-Sharaa, and she's right that the whole notion anything is literally improving for Christians in other parts of the middle east is mistaken. Let's also not forget what it's like in certain parts of Africa like Nigeria, which Trump has addressed, but lately hasn't done so as much, and that could be troubling too. Either way, that he would be willing to recognize an Islamofascist and approve of his becoming an autocrat in Syria is very disturbing, and does serious damage to the efforts to put an end to the Religion of Peace's tyrannical reign anywhere.

It's not enough that Israel be considered a place where Christianity can survive. Even other parts of the middle east and Europe have to count.

Muslims vandalize Shinto and Buddhist temples in Japan

Outrage in Japan after two Muslims in hijabs broke into a Shinto shrine and vandalized it, smashing all the windows. They later did the same at a Buddhist temple.

Vandalism of religious sites was unheard of in Japan until very recently. This comes after a series of unexplained…

Via Jihad Watch, we see here a terrible crime explaining why the Japanese public voted in favor of anti-Islam platforms for the Diet parliament recently. If this is allowed to continue, it's only a matter of time before sexual violence becomes a serious danger in Japan. This is exactly why in addition to banning the building of more mosques, they have to stop providing Muslims with citizenship and deport them, period.

Muslim gym teacher in India murdered Hindu woman, police accused of failing to act on prior warnings

Ashlyn Davis reports a Muslim gym trainer in west Delhi murdered a Hindu woman:

A 26-year-old Muslim gym trainer identified as Mohammad Imran, alias Aqib, strangled and stabbed a 21-year-old Hindu woman to death inside her home in West Delhi on August 26, after weeks of alleged harassment and threats. Police identified the victim as Muskan Sharma, a Delhi University student and part-time model and content creator, and arrested her former gym trainer two days after the killing.

Police sources have confirmed that Imran had visited Muskan’s home in Old Mahavir Nagar, Tilak Nagar, on the evening of August 26, where she stayed alone. CCTV cameras captured him entering the building between 5:40 pm and 5:45 pm.

According to reports, Imran strangled Muskan before stabbing her multiple times with a knife and fleeing the scene. A domestic worker later found her lying seriously injured on the floor and alerted people in the neighborhood. Her relatives and neighbors rushed her to a hospital, but doctors declared her dead on arrival.

Imran also took the victim’s mobile phone after the attack in an attempt to erase or destroy digital evidence that could link him to the crime. According to police, he allegedly tried to delete data from the iPhone, but failed. He subsequently discarded the device near a drain in West Delhi. Police later recovered the phone, and the device ultimately helped investigators trace Imran. Officials formed several teams and launched a search for Imran. Investigators examined CCTV footage and followed other leads before locating him in Rajouri Garden on August 27.

Police said officers confronted Imran and ordered him to surrender. According to the police account, Imran pulled out a pistol and fired several rounds at the officers. The police team returned fire and shot him in both legs. Officers arrested him and took him to Guru Gobind Singh Hospital for treatment.

Investigators have since examined Imran’s relationship with Muskan and the events that preceded the murder. Police claim the two had known each other for about 18 months after meeting at the gym where Imran worked as a trainer. Their relationship later deteriorated, and Muskan decided to distance herself from him. Officials also suspect that Imran became increasingly possessive after Muskan ended the relationship, and are examining whether jealousy and anger over the change in their relationship motivated the attack. However, Muskan’s family has discounted such assumptions.

Muskan’s family has also accused the police of failing to act on earlier warnings. Muskan had approached a police station on July 18 and complained that Imran was harassing her. Police sources also verify that Imran had a history of drug use and was sent to a de-addiction center after a complaint from Muskan’s family. He was released on July 30 after allegedly injuring himself while at the center. Muskan’s family has alleged that Imran continued harassing and following her for several months and said they expected police to have intervened before the situation escalated.

Now the officers who immobilized the monster by blasting his legs did the right thing, and injuring his legs is a punishment that such offenders should receive more often. But those police officials who failed to act upon previous information did the wrong thing, and must be penalized for enabling such a horrific crime to occur. How much more of these repulsive incidents must it take to understand why serious vigilance is required to prevent them?

Soros-supported prosecutor helped Muslim illegal immigrant murderer flee

According to this chilling news (via Newsbusters), a prosecutor in Virginia who got backing from George Soros' foundations enabled a jihadist to flee from justice:

An Islamist illegal alien murderer was allowed to escape back to his home country thanks to Virginia officials, who failed to get a guilty verdict even after he admitted guilt, helped him get a foreign passport, and allowed him to leave the mental hospital on unsupervised visits.

In 2019, Abdulloi Toshpulodzoda stabbed his roommate Mohammed Hemmatian to death in their Vienna, Virginia home. He was found “covered in blood from head to toe,” and told police “I am guilty,” according to court records. Less than a decade later he’s escaped punishment and is back home in his native Tajikistan.

Court records show that Fairfax County was paying for an apartment for Toshpulodzoda to live in while on leave from his mental health facility. While on the 48-hour pass, and he bought a one-way ticket and fled to his country, which borders Afghanistan in Central Asia.

“On July 6, 2026, the Acquittee was permitted to leave [the Northern Virginia Mental Health Institute] on an approved forty-eight hour pass to an apartment made available through the Fairfax Permanent Supportive Housing Program,” the court documents obtained by The Daily Wire say. “He boarded an international flight at Washington Dulles International Airport and traveled to Istanbul, Turkey. He thereafter traveled to Dushanbe, Tajikistan.”

Although Toshpulodzoda admitted guilt for the murder, he was found not guilty by reason of insanity after his attorney said he was “fixated on religious topics and he was illogical and nonsensical.

It was bound to have been an act. Now he's fled justice, and it's unlikely the authorities will ever be able to recapture him or get him extradited. As noted here:

Abdulloi Toshpulodzoda was found “covered in blood from head to toe” after stabbing a man to death, and told police “I am guilty.” Yet he was deemed "not guilty by reason of insanity" due to his religious beliefs, after taxpayers paid for a Muslim psychiatrist to evaluate him.

This is why authorities have to take steps to expel and disbar all of the corrupt officials who were supported by Soros' outfits. What happened was an utter atrocity and travesty of justice.

Loving couple in Islamic Indonesia were flogged for kissing on livestream

Robert Spencer talks about the horror caused by Islamic sharia to a loving couple in Indonesia, which is still quite a horror story in its own way:

A kiss is still a kiss, as the old song goes, but in Indonesia’s Aceh province, it’s going to cost you. Not in terms of money, but in terms of the skin off your back. A young couple in Aceh just found that out after they shared a kiss on a TikTok stream, and found themselves hauled before a Sharia court and charged with violating the rules of modesty and the proper decorum that is to be maintained between an unmarried man and woman.

For that, they were each sentenced to 21 lashes, and the sentence was recently carried out before a gaping crowd of righteously indignant Sharia-adherent Muslims who know now never, ever to livestream a kiss. And so once again we see the true heart and soul of Islam: terror. While Muslim and non-Muslim Islamic apologists in the West continue to insist that the true Islam is benign and cuddly, and that terrorism is only a tiny minority of extremists’ “hijacking” of the religion, in reality, terror is at the very center of Islam. This latest caning in Aceh shows that anew.

The South China Morning Post reported Friday that “as each blow landed on their backs, the unnamed man, 22, and woman, 25, visibly grimaced. The woman later burst into tears, wailing in pain as the public punishment continued.” The Post noted that video of the canings had kicked up the usual firestorm: “It was far from the first such case to gain international attention and the response has become familiar: footage spreads online, rights groups condemn the punishment as inhumane and Aceh’s status as the Muslim-majority country’s sole sharia-enforcing province is thrust back into the spotlight.”

Yes indeed: “In a statement issued the same day as the flogging, Amnesty International said all forms of corporal punishment constituted torture or other ‘cruel, inhuman or degrading punishment,’ while its co-regional director, Montse Ferrer, called the caning of the couple ‘a horrifying act of discrimination.’”

Of course, Amnesty's not exactly a saint themselves when it comes to dealing with the Religion of Peace. What this should make clear is that along with Iran, even Indonesia's a country that has to be condemned for their own human rights violations, along with the abuse they subjected a loving couple to over petty issues. Absolutely repulsive.

Former Haredi girl becomes fashion stylist

So here's an interview with a former resident of a Haredi clan who became a fashion designer after being expelled from school over petty issue. First:

Chumi Polak is a familiar name in Israel’s fashion industry: a busy stylist who works on productions, commercials and with artists. But many people only recently learned her name in a very different context, as the partner of musician and judge Assaf Amdursky, whom she has been dating for the past year and a half. Polak had also dressed Amdursky over the years, and when the timing was right, love followed. [...]

Amdursky is 55 and you are 36, a 19-year age gap.

“That’s true, but there’s a difference between a 20-year-old woman dating a 40-year-old man and a gap like this at our age,” she said. “I think the age difference becomes much less significant. Assaf is Peter Pan, someone who is constantly in motion. He’s a second-year film student and also plans to pursue a doctorate. He is always doing something, he takes care of himself and he looks wow.

“I’ve also been through a thing or two, and I feel very mature. I don’t think I could be with a man in his 30s. I feel Assaf is a man who knows what he wants, and I love that.”

Oh, it's okay for a 20 year old woman to date a 40 year old man. Such things are practically discussed in the Torah/Bible too, and from a modern perspective, if the lady is 18 and up, then it's perfectly legal and in good taste. Now, on the background of the fashionista herself:

Polak’s appearance, an edgy blonde with a cool haircut and hipster style, gives little hint that she came from a completely different world. She was born in Jerusalem to a Haredi family, the eldest of six children. “Chumi is short for Nechama,” she said. “My mother called me that from a young age and it stuck. It’s a name that always raises questions and I always explain it. In recent years, I’ve even started introducing myself again as Nechama. Nechama Miriam Pearl Polak.”

Her mother was born in London, “a Yiddish-speaking Haredi woman who came to Israel and married my Haredi father. I have a wonderful family and amazing parents, and I am very close to everyone. On the other hand, I was always something a little unusual in that landscape.

“I felt people didn’t understand me. I asked questions in a society where questions were not encouraged. I was stubborn, someone who stood her ground, not the kind of good, obedient girl who tries to please everyone. I was a bit wild and hyperactive. I had character.”

Polak grew up “in a very Haredi neighborhood” and studied at Bais Yaakov girls' school until ninth grade, when her family moved to Bnei Brak. “My father became close to a certain admor (Hasidic rebe), and my parents moved to live in his court,” she said.

What happened?

“One day we had a free period at the seminary, and my cousin, another friend and I ran away to the beach through a hole in the fence,” she said. “We rolled up our tights and our skirts and got our feet wet in the water.

“That evening, an older red-haired man came to my parents’ door with a letter saying someone had seen us and that I was suspended from school immediately. They demanded that we apologize and sign a code of conduct bylaw. My mother begged me to do it, but I refused. I didn’t feel I had done anything so terrible that I needed to apologize. My cousin and the other friend apologized, signed and were allowed back. I was expelled.”

In the Haredi community, she said, being expelled from one school makes it difficult to be accepted to another. “That’s how I found myself without any framework for half a year, and people more or less shut me out,” she said. “Before that, I had been very popular in class. Suddenly, no one called. Silence.” “During that half year, I had free time, I started going out and discovered the world. A little before I turned 16, I moved to Jerusalem. I had a few friends there who were older than me. I moved in with them and started waitressing. I was still religious and waitressed in long skirts. After half a year, I moved to London.”

It's a bold step. “Yes,” she said. “I did extreme, dramatic things without fear and without much thought. I’m more measured today, but that’s my nature. I’m impulsive and I’m not afraid. No one in my family left home or left religion, but I just did. I flew to London without thinking it through, with 100 pounds in my pocket.

“I had a friend there who worked at mall carts, and I have a British passport because of my mother. I sold hair and beauty products from carts inside stores like Harrods and Selfridges and made a lot of money. The pound was worth eight shekels, and sometimes I would make 1,000 pounds a day.”

Well see, when certain segments of society act so petty, that's certainly atrocious, and seriously, she was right to leave the Haredi community where she was born. Her parents shouldn't have been part of it either. It also says here that:

Have you already left religion at that stage?

“It took some time. But I remember that Shabbat in London when I was 17, when I left the house and ordered a hamburger with bacon. Both Shabbat and bacon. I woke up in the morning and said, ‘Okay, let’s see what happens,’ and nothing happened. It was cool.

“I never had an issue with Judaism. I just wanted to see everything. But faith always stayed in me, and actually the older I get, the more I return to religion. For the past five years, I’ve been eating kosher again, and I also keep Shabbat once a month. It does me good. When I visit my parents, I always dress modestly.”

Perhaps she shouldn't, although good for her she resumed kosher eating again. But that sex-negative hysteria has got to go, because it's having a ruinous effect on women's confidence and dignity, and we could seriously do without it. It's also alluded to at the end:

How would you define your style?

“I’m very eclectic, and every day I can be someone else. I love vintage and mixing designer pieces with vintage, but not anything too revealing. Even as a stylist, I don’t dress people very exposed. I don’t like it. The Bais Yaakov girl stayed in me.

“You’ll never see me in tank tops or flip-flops. It just doesn’t feel refined to me. I also work a lot with the Haredi sector. I understand the nuances and subtleties, what is allowed and what isn’t, the language, and the trends there.

“To this day, I still have amazing pleated skirts from seminary. There’s no style like that. I shortened one into a mini and gave it a Miu Miu feel, and left another as a midi. It’s wow, and it’s chic.”

Again, this is a weakness she has to overcome. It's the personality that matters, not whether the clothing is modest or revealing. I hope she'll come to understand that, and she doesn't need to do business with the Haredi segment, unless perhaps to help convince them to leave it. That could be very helpful, considering the Satmar, if any, have been one of the worst 5th columns for decades now.

"Memorandum of Understanding" collapses

So no sooner had Iran supposedly signed the USA's "memorandum of understanding" - and only electronically at that - then they went back to firing missiles at targets in the middle east again:

Air-raid sirens sounded in Jordan, Kuwait and Bahrain on Thursday, as Iran said it targeted U.S. military assets with missiles and drones in retaliation for American strikes on the Islamic Republic.

A Jordanian military source told Amman’s official Petra News Agency that air defenses intercepted eight missiles launched from Iran on Thursday afternoon. Debris from the interceptions fell in several areas, causing no casualties or damage, according to the report.

The Jordanian air-raid sirens were heard in some Israeli border communities in the Jordan Valley, according to Hebrew media.

The U.S. Embassy in Amman confirmed reports that “missiles, drones or rockets are in Jordanian airspace” and called on Americans in the country to “seek overhead cover and shelter in place immediately.” The mission added, “Remain indoors and pay attention to local announcements and alerts. The U.S. Embassy in Jordan will continue to review the situation and provide additional information as needed.”

A flight from Ethiopia to Tel Aviv was forced to turn around amid the missile attacks, Channel 12 News reported.

In Kuwait, a Defense Ministry spokesperson said the country’s armed forces intercepted three ballistic missiles, one cruise missile and 10 drones launched from Iran on Thursday.

“The interceptions resulted in material damage after debris fell at several locations across the country. One person was injured and is receiving the necessary medical treatment. The injured person’s condition is stable,” said spokesman Col. Saud Abdulaziz al-Atwan.

But are they actually going to gather what militaries they have and go to battle against Iran for what they've done? This report seems to suggest Jordan might be willing to, but only time will tell if they actually do.

For now, some can say the USA was being ridiculous to assume Iran would actually surrender, and this very much proves their tyrants aren't.

Turkey now has missiles that can reach long ranges

It turns out that Iran's not the only Islamic regime that's had ballistic missiles being built. Turkey's also building them, and put an ICBM on display just recently:

Turkey's Ministry of National Defense research and development center unveiled the Yildirimhan intercontinental ballistic missile at the SAHA 2026 (Turkey's international defense and aerospace exhibition) expo, marking a public debut for one of Ankara's most advanced long-range missile systems.

According to the defense ministry, the missile can reach Mach 25 and has a declared range of 6,000 kilometers (3,728 miles). It uses liquid nitrogen tetroxide as fuel and is powered by four rocket propulsion engines.

It's entirely possible such devices could reach north America as much as Europe and Israel, if nothing's done about it. So we have to hope Donald Trump makes this an issue. Also, during Trump's first term of office, Turkey was misbehaving already.

Israel's Knesset approves use of death penalty for jihadists

After many years of failure to take more serious measures for punishing murderous crimes, the Israeli Knesset has finally approved a law enabling the death penalty for jihadists:

The Knesset plenum finally approved this evening (Monday), in second and third reading, the bill allowing for the death penalty for terrorists.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu voted in favor of the law, along with MKs from the Yisrael Beyteinu faction. On the other hand, MK Benny Gantz, along with members of the Degel Hatorah faction, chose to vote against it. Noam Chairman MK Avi Maoz was not present.

During the preliminary discussion, the chairman of the National Security Committee, MK Zvika Fogel, presented the law as an essential tool in the current war. "The State of Israel is facing unparalleled evil and hatred," said Fogel.

"Our enemies do not seek a border, a compromise or a shared future, but to destroy, harm, sow fear here and undermine our very existence here," continued Fogel. "Faced with such a reality, our responsibility is clear - to protect the citizens of Israel. Not with words or hopes, but with deeds. This law is not a law of revenge or rage, but of the responsibility of a state towards its citizens, of leadership towards human life."

I do find it disturbing though perhaps unshocking that some members of a Haredi party like Degel HaTorah wouldn't vote for this bill. And if Maoz didn't either, is that also concerning?

Some European governments unshockingly condemned this bill passage, but the USA's thankfully refrained:

The United States refrained from condemning the Death Penalty for Terrorists Bill, which was approved in the Knesset on Monday.

“The United States respects Israel’s sovereign right to determine its own laws and penalties for individuals convicted of terrorism," said a State Department spokesperson in a statement.

“We trust that any such measures will be carried out with a fair trial and respect for all applicable fair trial guarantees and protections," the spokesperson added. [...]

Last week, the European Union (EU) criticized the Israeli government for advancing the bill, saying it “is deeply concerning" and adding that the EU “opposes capital punishment in all cases and under all circumstances."

In response, Israel’s Foreign Ministry noted that the EU is intervening in a sovereign country’s legislative process.

“Israel, as a sovereign state, legislates its own laws. Unbelievably, the European Union is intervening in the midst of a sovereign state’s legislative process," the ministry said.

“Israel is facing murderous and brutal terrorism on a scale unmatched anywhere in the world. Palestinian terrorism is fueled by payments from the Palestinian Authority, as well as by abductions that lead to shortened prison terms for terrorists," it continued.

The statement noted that “Israeli law already permits capital punishment, and under the proposed new law, discretion over its application will remain with the courts."

“EU double standards: as always, the EU obsessively singles out Israel - we haven’t seen a tweet like this when it comes to capital punishment in the United States, Japan, India, Egypt, or other countries," the Foreign Ministry concluded.

But sooner or later, the EU will turn against, say, Armenia if they take similar measures for combatting terrorism. That aside, what the EU is doing is exactly what's led to the horror stories in Europe when it comes to Islamic jihadism. Sooner or later, any European country or movement that understands reality will have to consider parting ways with the EU if that's what it takes to making it possible to improve the situation.

The dangers faced by lady soccer players from Iran

Some terrible facts about why some Iranian lady soccer players forfeited a chance for asylum overseas:

For most international athletes, the biggest concern is losing the game. For Iranian women, the real fear is losing your life. That’s how dangerous the situation has become for a group of national soccer players, whose story at Australia’s Asia Cup quickly became the very human face of the regime at war with America. Torn by the chance to run from the cruelty of their homeland, but knowing their families could die for it, all but two girls made the ultimate sacrifice — turning their backs on a chance for freedom to embrace a fate even they know is uncertain.

For the last two weeks, the world has been riveted by the international soccer tournament Down Under for one reason: the hijab-wearing team from Iran. Days after bombs started raining down on their homeland, the players stood a half a world away on the turf in defiant silence as their national anthem played. Their quiet protest sent a powerful message on the global stage, but it also put them in the crosshairs of a murderous regime that spent the last several months slaughtering thousands of its own for less brazen acts.

Despite their hero status in Australia, the women were labeled “wartime traitors” by Iranian state media — a not-so-subtle ultimatum that led the team to sing the anthem for the rest of the tournament. But instead of boarding a plane for Tehran after their three straight losses, the women lingered for days at their stopover in Malaysia, alarmed about what awaited them when they touched down.

Awed by their courage, several world leaders weighed in, including President Donald Trump, warning the girls not to go home. Forcing them to go back to Iran could be a death sentence, he insisted. “Don’t do it, Mr. Prime Minister,” he urged Australia’s Anthony Albanese, “give ASYLUM. The U.S. will take them if you won’t.”

Albanese was already on it, promising anyone in the Iranian women’s delegation a chance at a new life with humanitarian visas. Seven accepted. Within 48 hours, five changed their minds, including the team’s captain. The players were “given repeated chances to talk about their options” but ultimately faced “incredibly difficult decisions,” Australia Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke announced last Saturday. Tina Kordrostami, a councilor for the Australian City of Ryde, explained that it was an “upsetting update,” but confirmed that “they are heavily intimidated and being communicated to directly by the regime.”

“I know families have even been detained,” Kordrostami said somberly. “I know family members are missing.” And one thing she wants people in the West to understand is that “Iranians within the country have in many ways given up on the West, and they are only relying on one another to survive this regime. So, when we do offer them a way out, it’s not often that easy for them to understand that it is, in fact, a way out.” She paused before adding, “We are very worried about them. We know for a fact that they will not be safe. I’ve mentioned this before. When you do break a contract as an athlete in Iran, you can face the death penalty. So, I know these women are young. I know that they are making an incredibly difficult decision, and I have the utmost respect for them.”

“Coercion is being used here, intimidation tactics,” Kordrostami stressed. “And we even had an individual amongst the girls within Sydney and Brisbane who was influencing them constantly in their ear, letting them know that whatever Australia is offering them, it will not work.” Asked if the players are being threatened, she answered unequivocally, “I don’t think that, I know that.”

I suspect part of the problem is that Australia's leftists allow coercers and other agents to dwell in the country, but that's a rather moot point. It's practically why the war against Iran has to be carried out and won, and the IRGC must be destroyed along with other dark enforcement systems they have.

Japan fights back against Islamism

Some good news coming from Japan, though obviously, much more work will still be needed if even only a small amount of damage has occurred thus far:

A few months before his assassination, Charlie Kirk visited Japan and warned that mass migration was seeking to “replace and eradicate Japan by bringing in Indonesians, by bringing in Arabs, by bringing in Muslims”.

With over 100 mosques and over 400,000 Muslims already occupying Japan, even though 95% of Japanese voters oppose Muslim mass migration, a political explosion was bound to occur.

Now, Japanese voters have delivered a striking defeat to the forces of mass migration with a stunning win for Japan’s Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, whom the media has already taken to describing as a ‘Trumpian’ figure for opposing mass migration, her Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), which won its largest victory to date, as did a number of other right-wing parties, including the one Kirk was addressing, demonstrating that voters were tired of mass migration.

In Kawaguchi City, where so many Turkish Muslims now live on welfare that a Turkish candidate announced a run for mayor last year on a platform of “multiculturalism”, another conservative candidate candidate, Yuriko Okamura won with record turnout on a platform of cracking down on foreigners after statistics showed Muslims were 1,000% more likely to commit crimes than the native Japanese population. The media however blamed ‘misinformation’ and claimed that Kawaguchi was the central point for the spread of anti-Muslim xenophobia across Japan.

By contrast, Reiwa Shinsengumi, a far-left party which welcomed mass migration, called for multiculturalism and spent much of its energy campaigning against Israel and for Islamic terrorists, fell from 8 parliamentary seats to only 1 in a crushing defeat for its agenda.

95% of Japanese voters oppose Muslim mass migration, 60% describe Muslims as “radical”, “aggressive” or “backwards” and 62% view them as a “security risk”. The Japanese Left found itself on the wrong side of a debate about setting a cap on mass migration to the country and had no other response except to lecture the majority about its “xenophobia” and “intolerance”.

Read more of the article. The public that voted in favor of all anti-Islam parties and pushed the leftist movements favoring the Religion of Peace almost entirely to the sidelines has done the right thing. And they'll be doing the right thing if they also campaign for cancellation of residential permits for Islamists and deportation, especially if the Islamists aren't willing to abandon Islam altogether. And all concerned should be wary of taqqiya (deception), and not let Islamists resort to that in Japan either.

Tucker Carlson continues his downward spiral

The disgraced former Fox News writer continues his kowtowing to Islam, this time in Saudi Arabia:

In Saudi Arabia Wednesday for the Real Estate Future Forum, disgraced former Fox News host Tucker Carlson said, "I'm, for whatever it's worth, a pretty fervent Christian, and I feel completely comfortable here in the seat of Islam… and just saying that is a threat somehow to some people, who are propagandists and liars."

Well, who exactly is the propagandist and liar here? It is no surprise that Tucker Carlson feels "completely comfortable here in the seat of Islam." He is a welcome and lauded guest of the state, and his presence there is useful for the Saudi monarchy. They aren't going to give him any trouble for being a Christian, and even if they were, Carlson is not there as a missionary or preacher. He didn't proselytize, and no one expected him to do so. If he had done so, it would have been quite quickly made clear to him that such behavior was not what the Saudis invited him for, and that he should stop it forthwith or would be just as quickly shown the door.

Carlson also appears to be trying to generalize from his own experience, as if every Christian who ever ventured into Saudi Arabia were an internationally renowned VIP who could expect to receive nothing but the most deferential treatment from the Saudi government. The reality, of course, is quite different. Virtually all of the Christians in Saudi Arabia are foreign workers from countries such as the Philippines or India. They know very well that when they come to Saudi Arabia, they are expected to leave their religion at the door. There are no churches. Public worship is forbidden to them. If the Christians gather in someone's private home and conduct their own worship services, they could end up being the recipients of a police raid. If they speak to any Muslim about Christianity, they could be arrested and imprisoned or deported. Even having a Bible or a cross could get them arrested and imprisoned or deported. Christians in Saudi Arabia don't have the privilege of being Tucker Carlson and are well aware of how precarious their situation is while they are there.

Even now, when women aren't forced to wear niqabs in Saudi Arabia, there's still obviously many things still going wrong, and forbidding anybody religious freedom, if that's still in effect there, is very disturbing. No doubt, even Hinduists, Buddhists and Shintoists are forbidden to practice their faiths there. And, lest we forget, even Judaists quite likely aren't allowed to practice theirs. That they may be allowed to enter the country now is beside the point.

Carlson's kowtowing is a very bad omen, and he's continuing to let down everybody by opening his big mouth for worthless reasons. And if Saudi Arabia's still restricting freedom of faith, then prince Mohammed bin Salman's definitely not improving on something.

Antisemitic landlord in Nepal forces out synagogue (Update: it appears the landlord isn't antisemitic)

A sad case involving an antisemitic landlord in Nepal who evicted a missionary couple and their synagogue:

For over two decades, the Chabad House in Kathmandu has served as a legendary “home away from home” for tens of thousands of Israeli backpackers, Jewish travelers, and local residents. However, this week, that era came to an abrupt and painful end. Shluchim Rabbi Chezki and Chani Lifshitz were forced to pack up the iconic center’s contents following a series of demands from their landlord that many believe were fueled by systemic antisemitism.

The trouble began several months ago when the landlord’s attitude toward the Jewish center took a sharp, restrictive turn. According to Rabbi Chezki Lifshitz, the first sign of trouble was a demand to strip the building of its identity.

“A few months ago, he demanded that all the signs in Hebrew be removed from the building,” Chezki shared. This was followed by a sharp and sudden increase in rent, aimed at making the center’s presence unsustainable. This week, the situation culminated in an order for immediate evacuation, forcing the Lifshitz family to mobilize quickly to move decades of communal history.

The couple wisely aren't going to let this get them down. Even so, it's sad that in a country like Nepal, there too the problem also haunts. The landlord now appears to have hopefully resolved the issue with the couple. But, if it turns out things are still in the zone of badness, then this is an extremely reprehensible, if not too surprising, incident.

Update: here's some clarification on the topic, indicating the landlord's not an antisemite:

“People didn’t understand the post,” Lifshitz says. “The owner had asked us to take down signs written in Hebrew because he was worried that the building would be targeted by antisemites. The landlord himself is not anti-Israeli.”

Sources note that the landlord is very supportive of Jews and Israel, and actually has a Jewish brother-in-law. The building, which is famous for hosting more than 2,000 people at what has been called the largest Passover Seder in the world, is located in one of the most expensive neighborhoods in Nepal, and the owners missed out on significant income by allowing Chabad to remain there, one source notes.

“Blaming this on antisemitism in Nepal is shameful,” says Rina Lamsal, a former Israeli who has run a travel agency in Nepal for 13 years. “This is the most accepting place in the world.”

Lifshitz says the institution’s extensive belongings have been put in storage, and that he is working hard to find a new hub by the end of February. “That’s when the next tourist season for Israelis starts,” he says.

While it's relieving to know the landlord's not a bad person, defeatism is still very appalling, and he shouldn't cancel the arrangements out of such cowardice. It's a shame that's apparently the case.

Dubya once again lets know where he actually stands on the issue of Islamofascists from Afghanistan

Following the tragic murder of a National Guardswoman in the District of Columbia by an Afghan interloper, the George W. Bush Institute took the side of the enemy, unshockingly:

Following the fatal shooting of one National Guard member and the injury of another in Washington, DC, the George W. Bush Institute is urging against broadly targeting Afghan immigration applicants in response to the actions of a single individual.

Rahmanullah Lakanwal, a 29-year-old Afghan national who previously worked with a CIA-backed partner force in Kandahar and entered the U.S. in 2021 through the Biden administration’s Operation Allies Welcome, has been arraigned and is facing charges in the Thanksgiving-week ambush-style shooting that left 20-year-old Spc. Sarah Beckstrom dead and critically injured 24-year-old Staff Sgt. Andrew Wolfe.

Following the attack, U.S. immigration authorities announced an immediate and indefinite pause on immigration processing for Afghan nationals and launched a broad reexamination of immigration, asylum, and green card applications from 19 countries, including Afghanistan, Iran, Venezuela, Sudan, Haiti, Cuba, and Laos.

In response, the George W. Bush Institute posted on X: “The actions of a man charged with a heinous crime have derailed the lawful U.S. immigration applications of people from 18 countries so far, including Afghanistan. Afghans are facing uncertainty at home and in the U.S.

This should come as no surprise to anyone who was aware of how Dubya really went about business back in the day, and he later offended people after the Biden retreat from Afghanistan that's since left the country a moral/physical ruin and dangerous for women. Dubya also played a part in bringing Israel to where it's at today on the subject of Gaza and Hamas. And Dubya didn't support Trump either.

What is clear is that all conservatives who're realists must distance themselves from Dubya, not contribute to his institution, oppose any further visits he might make to GOP conventions and basically disown him. He's a prime example of a "conservative" who only did more harm than good to the USA, and is now sadly doing what he can to undermine the USA's ability to defend itself properly from Islamofascism.

An anti-Israeli movement encourages murder for money

In most horrific yet unshocking news, an anti-Israeli movement is offering bounties for murdering Israeli academics:

Bounties for the murder of Israeli academics are being offered on an anti-Zionist group's website, with profiles and personal details of targets also provided to potential contract killers.

The Punishment for Justice Movement website offers $50000 for murdering a targeted Israeli academic, $100,000 for the murder of "special targets," and other financial awards for providing information on them or committing acts of intimidation.

The group lists the alleged home addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, social media accounts, and even identification numbers of hundreds of academics from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU), the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, Weizmann Institute of Science, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Tel Aviv University, Harvard University, and European Organization for Nuclear Research.

Some of those listed reside outside of Israel, including in the United States of America.

And who exactly is hosting the website in discussion? Isn't that aiding and abetting a crime? The terrorist organization in question must be shut down and arrested for encouraging murder and jihadism. This is very serious, and sites like what's reported about cannot be allowed to remain on the web, nor can the terrorists running them be allowed to continue with their repulsive criminal activities.

Journalist for Haaretz took money from Qatargate suspect, and was dismissed from the paper

Chaim Levinson, a journalist for far-left Haaretz, was fired from the paper after it turned out he took bribes from a suspect in the Qatargate scandal:

Prominent Haaretz journalist and commentator Chaim Levinson has been dismissed from his position at the newspaper after it emerged that he had done work for the political consultancy company owned by Yisrael Einhorn, a key suspect in the Qatargate affair.

As reported by Haaretz itself, Levinson, who has long acknowledged being good friends with Einhorn, worked as a ghostwriter for Einhorn’s Perception company from 2019 to 2024, earning some NIS 200,000 ($61,000) for articles he ghostwrote for election campaigns in the Balkan.

In the Qatargate scandal, Einhorn and Perception are believed to have conducted campaigns in Israel and abroad to boost Qatar’s image, in particular in connection to its role as an impartial mediator in hostage negotiations.

This is reprehensible, but it doesn't make Haaretz any less so as a leftist-dominated paper just because they booted him. Their own MO has often risked helping Israel's enemies, not the least being Qatar themselves, and it's not a surprise at this point if a reporter for such an outfit could add insult to injury. This is just one more reason why Haaretz should be boycotted.

Syria needs to be broken up

Jason Shvili makes a case for dividing up Syria, though there's 2 parts that need to be taken issue with:

Syria doesn't work. It never worked, and it never will work. It needs to be partitioned. Its major ethnic and religious groups – Alawite Muslims, Christians, Sunni Arabs, Druze, and Kurds – deserve self-determination. They should have the right to go their separate ways. The alternative is more bloodshed. Yet, the US is stubbornly and ridiculously trying to maintain Syria's territorial integrity following a decades-long civil war.

Ahem. Islamists are unqualified for "self-determination", because they don't support democratic values, and the koran certainly doesn't support civility. It should be noted that Sunni is an Islamic sect, so why include them? It'd be better to include the Yazidis, if any live in Syria. And while any and all attacks al-Sharaa's forces have committed against other Muslim communities in Syria is obviously bad too, that still doesn't excuse what the Religion of Peace is built upon.

Hence, President Trump has embraced Syria's new leader, Ahmed Al-Sharaa, an Islamist terrorist, who, until December last year, had a $10 million bounty on his head. Al-Sharaa has promised that under his rule, "The Syrian state is committed to protecting all minorities and communities in the country." But his actions and those of his regime say otherwise. In March of this year, forces linked to Al-Sharaa's regime ruthlessly massacred over 1,000 Alawite Muslims in the Syrian coastal region of Latakia. A few months later, in July, Bedouin tribesmen and other forces loyal to Al-Sharaa brutally murdered hundreds of Druze in Syria's Sweida province. And just recently, Alawite Muslims were forced from their homes in Damascus.

Despite these atrocities, however, all of Syria's minorities have expressed their willingness to remain part of the country. All they ask is that they have some autonomy to govern their own communities and not be subject to tyranny at the hands of Syria's Sunni Arab majority. But Al-Sharaa refuses to discuss any possibility of regional autonomy for Syria's minority communities, and insists on a unitary Syrian state. So does the Trump Administration, whose special envoy for Syria, Tom Barrack, declared that there must be "One nation, one people, one army, one Syria." Why does the US ridiculously insist on maintaining the territorial integrity of a country that should never have been created in the first place?

That's the sad case we have now, that Trump's 2nd administration is making the horrible error of recognizing a Muslim despot as a leader for the entire area, not a Christian/Druze/Kurd. And it definitely doesn't reflect well on the USA's track record when it comes to persecuted Christians either. Is it any wonder Betty Mahmoody and her daughter were thrown under the bus by those who could've spoken out in their defense?

Fortunately, all of these groups are geographically concentrated – the Alawites in Latakia, the Kurds in Rojava (north and northeastern Syria), the Druze in Sweida, the Christians in Wadi Al-Nasara (Valley of the Christians), and the Sunni Arabs in the rest of present-day Syria. Thus, creating borders for these new states should not be too difficult.

What will be difficult, however, is ensuring the viability of the newly-independent states. Latakia, Wadi Al-Nasara and Sweida have few natural resources, and the latter two have small populations. Rojava has significant natural resources and a sizeable population, but is landlocked and faces a powerful enemy in Turkey, which detests the idea of any part of Kurdistan obtaining independence. Wadi Al-Nasara and Sweida are also landlocked, as will the new Sunni Arab state be. All of these new states will need help from abroad to secure their independence. [...]

Israel will surely help the Druze of Sweida maintain their security and develop their economy. It has already taken action against Al-Sharaa's forces to protect the Druze from further atrocities. It would also be advantageous for the Jewish state to secure new allies by aiding the new states of Wadi Al-Nasara, Latakia, and particularly Rojava, as Israel and the Kurds have a long history of friendship.

Depending how things can be done, it is possible to develop these areas into agricultural regions, and that's a great way to build up an economy. In which case, let's hope Israel can avail in farming development as well.

Anti-Israel propaganda at the still in business Miss Universe pageant

Israeli beauty pageant contestant Melanie Shiraz was interviewed about her participation in the Miss Universe contest, which I'd assumed had gone under but is apparently still in business, and taking place in Thailand, a country where some foreign workers came from to work in Israel, and were also raped/murdered on October 7, 2023, just like the Israeli counterparts:

Drama seems to surround every international competition involving Israel these days. Against the backdrop of examining Israel's participation in Eurovision 2026 and Spain's decision to boycott the competition, the demonstrations during the Vuelta de España cycling race, and the official announcement of Israel's removal from Giro d'Italia, comes the turn of another veteran competition to which an Israeli delegation is sent – Miss Universe.

Beyond the obvious challenges facing the Israeli representative, this year the competition takes an additional turn – "Miss Palestine" will participate for the first time in the competition's approximately 70-year history, and on the glamorous stage in Thailand next month, an unprecedented encounter is expected alongside the 58 other delegations from around the world.

A great responsibility rests on the shoulders of 26-year-old Melanie Shiraz, who has been chosen to represent Israel, particularly in light of the new circumstances. However, she doesn't seem troubled. "As someone who built a company, I think I experienced the maximum level of mental overload," she says with a smile when I ask her about this. "When I'm driven to do something and when I really believe in it, it makes it easy. It might be overwhelming, but in the best kind of way because I know that what I'm doing is making a difference." [...]

Q: Are you worried about the possible backlash you might get for representing Israel?

A: I've already gotten backlash, and I always expect to get backlash. I do think that it has been worse this year because of the situation that we're in after October 7th, and the very negative perspectives a lot of people in the world have. Since the Miss Palestine situation has unfolded, it's been exponentially more than it was before. I've gotten people probably paying for bots that just completely ambushed my account with thousands of 'free Palestine,' 'baby killer,' and other horrible death threats my way, which has sucked.

"I expected it, but one thing is to expect it, and then there's one thing to get a message saying, 'I hope you end up like one of the hostages, I hope you suffer the same fate, she was shot in the head and carried naked on a truck. Some of those things send chills down my spine, and it's made me worry a little bit about my security."

I sure hope she's going to have security staff provided if needed, but equally important, all in Thailand who're realists must speak out about this, because they too were victims of racism, and the tragedy proves racism even against non-Israelis is still very prevalent worldwide.

Q: We saw what happened with both Yuval Raphael and Eden Golan, our representatives at Eurovision in 2024 and 2025.

A: "At the end of the day, they both placed pretty highly. So I think that there's a very vocal minority of people that really hate us. I think at the end of the day, both of them proved that they're able to transcend politics with their talent and with the beauty that they have to bring to the world, and that's exactly what I'm hoping that I'll be able to do."

Good luck with that. But regarding the pageant itself:

Q: We have to address the elephant in the room. This year is quite unprecedented for Miss Universe because, for the first time, we have a new delegate – Miss Palestine. How did you feel when you heard the news for the first time?

A: "I won't lie and say that I wasn't surprised. The reason I was surprised is just because it seems to be a very political move from a seemingly nonpolitical organization. But on the other hand, I can look at it and say, you know what? I appreciate the organization for putting politics aside and wanting to empower women to speak no matter where they're from.

"I think we're here to embody peace and coexistence and bring forward very positive messages to the world. And so I think engaging and speaking about another person's country and spreading misinformation, for example, is not something that's appropriate. I think she is using her messaging to be very political and anti-Israel. And so I think that that inadvertently sends her audience to come for me. It's spreading information like '680,000 Palestinians have been killed since October 7th.' Not even Hamas is backing those numbers. She has a very large following, and I think it's quite careless."

Must we recall this same organization may still support the whole notion of men pretending to be women, calling themselves "transsexuals/genders", has a transsexual practitioner as owner, and for all we know, is very likely willing to nominate a man at the expense of a woman for equally political reasons, even after the murder of Charlie Kirk? I sure hope Shiraz knows better than to be lenient on LGBT ideology like that, because many LGBT practitioners have also proven to be very antisemitic, especially since October 7, 2023, and any Israeli who's willing to let that go unopposed is making the same mistake they'll make if they take a lenient view of Islam. So good luck to Ms. Shiraz. But she'll have to be realist and vigilant if she really wants to prove she stands firm for Israel's sake at the Miss Universe pageant, and if they still come within miles of supporting LGBT/Islam, then it'd be better such a pageant close down for real.

The Islamic response to Charlie Kirk's murder was sadly predictable

In the few days now since the tragic murder of Charlie Kirk, it's been discovered, far from surprisingly, that Muslim activists have only responded to the terrible incident with nothing but hatred:

The warped but inventive minds that make up the U.S. Islamist movement have been busy the last few days, trying to get some traction on social media and pile on the hate for Charlie Kirk.

It's Islamists, so the very first thing that comes to mind is "conspiracy."

Daniel Haqiqatjou, founder of Muslim Skeptic, blamed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for Kirk's death.

Haqiqatjou took the standard left-wing line that Trump was going to use Kirk's death as a sort of "Reichstag Fire" to begin a general crackdown.

Haqiqatjou added in another post that Charlie Kirk was murdered as a result of a "Zionist conspiracy." The nutcase failed to explain how Kirk, a huge supporter of Israel, as he pointed out earlier, could be a victim of "Zionists." [...]

The U.K. Islamist news outlet 5Pillars gloated over Kirk's death, criticizing him for his statement that Islamic values are incompatible with Western values, and asserting, “It’s not Islamophobia to notice that Muslims want to import values into the West that seek to destabilize our civilization.”

None of this is surprising, although the idiocy of positing Netanyahu's involvement in the assassination should disabuse those who believe Islamists are rational players who can live in peace with the West. Their notions of individual liberty are either absent or so skewed as to be unrecognizable. Their tolerance of other religions doesn't exist. And let's not even discuss the way they treat women like cattle.

This is all truly obscene, and decidedly calls for a lawsuit by the Kirk family against the Religion of Peace adherents who defamed the poor guy for daring to state facts. There've been a lot of leftists who lost jobs for making offensive comments about the Kirk murder, with one of the most prominent being Matthew Dowd, now formerly of MSNBC news. All responsible businesses in the USA and elsewhere who wish to retain a responsible image should also make sure to distance themselves from any Islamists who've done anything similar.

IDF obliterates Hamas members in Qatar

The IDF ideally slew terrorists in Qatar, which has been a major jihad financier over the years:

Israel's military targeted senior Hamas leadership in Qatar with an airstrike on Tuesday.

"The IDF and ISA [Shin Bet] conducted a precise strike targeting the senior leadership of the Hamas terrorist organization," the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement.

Khalil al-Hayya and Zaher Jabarin were the two targets of the Israeli strikes, Fox News chief foreign correspondent Trey Yingst said Tuesday, citing initial reports. Israeli officials told Fox News Digital that the U.S. was informed in advance of the strikes.

CCTV footage also appeared to capture the explosions in Doha.

"For years, these members of the Hamas leadership have led the terrorist organization's operations, are directly responsible for the brutal October 7 massacre, and have been orchestrating and managing the war against the State of Israel. Prior to the strike, measures were taken in order to mitigate harm to civilians, including the use of precise munitions and additional intelligence," the IDF added.

Destroying the Hamas presence in Qatar was the right thing to do.
