A multicultural society is unity in a shared identity.
Not separation, discrimination, and polarization.

In multicultural and liberal countries, where a diverse composition has been democratically chosen - such as Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, the US, Germany, and the UK - every effort should be made to prevent polarization.
If diversity and inclusion are at the core of national identity, one must guard against the emergence of segregated worlds.
However, in current practice, a reverse inequality threatens to arise, where the original inhabitants increasingly feel marginalized.

Polarization arises when remembrance or attention to suffering is one-sided.
For example, if only the slavery of Africans is emphasized while the suffering of other groups is completely ignored, some people feel excluded or unrecognized. This can lead to resentment and an "us versus them" mentality.

In reality, slavery is a worldwide historical phenomenon: almost all peoples have been enslaved or have themselves held slaves—ranging from Europeans to Africans, Asians, and Arabs.
A fair and balanced approach helps to prevent division.

2025 - A video showing the murder of 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska on public transport in Charlotte, North Carolina, has sent shockwaves round the world. The girl even had a black lives matter poster in her room.

It has also reignited debate over the widening ideological gulf in news reporting. The video shows Zarutska sitting alone, scrolling her phone, while behind her Decarlos Williams, a 35-year-old black man with a long history of arrest and diagnosed schizophrenia, rises to his feet and swings a knife toward her unsuspecting neck. Why is the media silent?

Quote from Ken Blackwell:  "And let's be clear: had this been reversed—had a White man stabbed a minority refugee—the media would be running wall-to-wall coverage. Instead, there are no hashtags, no vigils on cable news, no politicians pounding podiums. Just silence."

On Tuesday a CNN panel with Van Jones criticized those who labeled the Iryna Zarutska attack as a racially motivated attack.Van Jones went on to say there was no proof suggesting Zarutska was targeted due to her being white.This did not stop Van Jones and the mainstream media to assert the George Floyd incident was racially motivated without any evidence. An incident where a black and an Asian officer were also involved.The attacker was surrounded by 5 other black people with Iryna Zarutska sitting in front of him the only white. But the psychopath only attacked her!Moreover, there are some reports of audio recordings indicating that the life long criminal bragged about getting "got" a white girl during the incident. - The Hodgetwins

Jesse Watters Exposes How DEI Policies Run the Court That Freed Iryna Zarutska's Killer
 
Jesse Watters revealed that the court responsible for releasing Iryna Zarutska's killer is deeply influenced by DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) policies. The lineup is striking: a magistrate who donated to Kamala Harris and holds no law degree, a clerk who openly calls herself a "DEI consultant" and a "racial equity organizer," and a judge celebrated as "DEI Champion of the Year." Judge Stokes does have experience selling chicken wings with her lesbian wife. She no law degree, and in a complete conflict of interest... releases mentally ill people into a mental health facility that she co-owns.

"When Brown was arrested again in January of this year, a Democrat judge — a known supporter of Kamala Harris — released this dangerous criminal without even requiring bail," Watters said. He explained further that Ms. Stokes, the clerk involved, was not elected but nominated by the Mecklenburg County clerk, Alyssa Chin Gary, who on LinkedIn describes herself as both a clerk and a DEI consultant, with a stated life mission including racial reparations and equity work. Ms. Stokes was nominated by Judge Carla Archie, who in 2019 was named DEI Champion of the Year.

Watters asked the stark question: "Is this starting to make sense? Did a woman die because of DEI policies? This is a DEI court — they have blood on their hands. If the people in robes are on the same side as the criminals, that's a recipe for disaster."

He continued: "DEI died when Kamala lost. Releasing felons with dozens of prior arrests under the guise of social justice is not just reckless — it's a crime against the country." (source)

More than 17,500 people have signed a petition calling for Cambridge University to fire one of their lecturers for tweeting "White Lives Don't Matter."

Dr. Priyamvada Gopal, now a full-time professor of colonial and postcolonial literature and theory at Cambridge University, tweeted Monday: "I'll say it again. White Lives Don't Matter. As white lives." Gopal has also tweeted a call to "abolish whiteness."

After the petition was launched, Gopal tweeted that she stood by her original tweets, despite Twitter deleting one of them. She also said on Twitter that she had been the target of harassment and that "the hate mails & threats are coming in non-stop." Cambridge University said it defends the rights of professors to express lawful opinions in a tweet June 24. "The University defends the right of its academics to express their lawful opinions which other might fight controversial," the tweet said. Cambridge University's tweet did not directly mention Gopal. source

Black racist Lucas

Black YouTuber Lucas Beyn has released a video in which he states that he has spoken to 99.99% of Black people and claims they are "deeply uncaring" about what happened to Iryna on the train.  (source)

It is deeply troubling to see how much hate and indifference exists in some people. At the same time, this page fortunately shows that not everyone is racist, and that there are people who do show compassion and stand up for justice, like the Hodgetwins. 
It serves as a reminder that, despite the darkness, there are always glimpses of humanity and empathy.

Racism is racism – period. Whether it is directed against people with black, white, brown, or any other skin color, it remains a denial of human dignity. No one deserves to be collectively humiliated, excluded, or hated based on their origin.

Yet we see that the fight against racism is not always free from new forms of exclusion. When statements like "I don't like white men. I want them to be a lost species in a hundred years" (Yasmin Alibhai-Brown) or "we need to abolish the white race" (Noel Ignatiev) are hardly criticized, while every racist remark directed at people of color rightly meets fierce resistance, a dangerous double standard arises.

For example, actress Jane Fonda stated that "white people are responsible for the climate crisis" – a statement that unjustly reduces the complex, worldwide history of exploitation and ecological damage to a single race, while nearly every civilization in history has been guilty of oppression and slavery.

Also, Tim Wise, an anti-racist speaker, claimed that white people can never be victims of racism in principle. But racism without power is not an innocent variant – it remains racism.

Such tendencies have societal consequences. In Rotherham, England, between 1997 and 2013, about 1,400 children were victims of systematic sexual abuse by so-called 'grooming gangs,' predominantly made up of men of Pakistani descent. 

Police and youth care ignored reports, partly out of fear of being labeled racist or Islamophobic. In some cases, victims were even seen as "choosing prostitution." Official reports confirm that institutional fear of stigma led to the neglect of fundamental human rights.

Those who want to fight injustice must do so consistently. When fighting one injustice leads to ignoring or even causing another injustice, we lose our credibility – and ultimately our moral compass.

Censorship and alteration of classic literature. In March 2021, controversy arose in the Netherlands and Belgium over a new translation of Dante's The Divine Comedy, in which the name of the Islamic prophet Muhammad was omitted from the passage about hell (Inferno). 

Censorship and alteration of classic literature. In March 2021, controversy arose in the Netherlands and Belgium over a new translation of Dante's The Divine Comedy, in which the name of the Islamic prophet Muhammad was omitted from the passage about hell (Inferno).

The translator explained that this was done to "avoid unnecessary offense" and to make the book more accessible to a wider audience. However, popes and homosexuals were still depicted in hell.

No room for one's own heritage. Woke row erupts after Nottingham University puts trigger warning on Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales - because they contain 'expressions of Christian faith'

Bob Vylan is a British music duo blending punk and grime, known for their aggressive, politically charged performances. During their 2025 Glastonbury set, they sparked controversy with the line: "I heard you want your country back?" While meant as a provocation against nationalist rhetoric, many interpreted it as dismissive of real concerns among the British public.

The UK continues to face surging levels of violent crime — including knife attacks, sexual assaults, and youth gang violence — leaving many citizens feeling unsafe and unheard. Against that backdrop, the desire to "take the country back" often reflects a longing for order and security, not hatred. Rather than bridging divides, Bob Vylan's rhetoric is deepening them. By mocking or simplifying these concerns, the duo arguably contributes to the growing sense of polarization and cultural tension in British society.

No work for Joris, but work for Sadiqa. Joris van Os, a white Dutch man, was unable to get his literary work published despite its quality. Therefore, he created a pseudonym and identity as a young Moroccan-Dutch woman, Sadiqa Almakhadie. Under that name, he suddenly received much praise, publications, and a literary award. When he revealed his true identity, the publisher initially showed understanding, but later controversy arose. An intern accused his work of cultural appropriation, and the publishing house ultimately decided not to release the book due to 'misleading' the publishers. Van Os wanted to demonstrate how identity and marketing in the literary world can sometimes be more important than the work itself, and that publishers often prefer to 'market' white men.

He advocates for more openness and clarity about how publishers deal with identity. Read the full article here.

Christian identity suddenly offensive. In 2017, Lidl removed images of church crucifixes from packaging in Italy and Belgium. After protests, including a complaint from the mayor of Dolceacqua, the images were replaced with versions where the crucifixes were visible again.  

People speak without hesitation about 'white schools' and wonder why they remain so white. But that label is discriminatory in itself. On the other hand, if you write that the prison system is largely made up of people of color, it is immediately branded as racist. Why is one supposedly a neutral observation, and the other racism? 

29-5-2025 Anneline Kriel-Bacon reflects on the ongoing brutal murders of farmers in South Africa, six years after the violence began, and questions the absence of action from President Ramaphosa and other leaders. She recounts a powerful visit to the White Cross Monument near Polokwane, where thousands of white crosses memorialize farmers and their families who were brutally killed. 

The ceremony was deeply emotional, with families planting crosses for their lost loved ones and mourning openly. Kriel-Bacon calls for farm murders to be treated as serious crimes and urges the government to stop politicians who incite violence against farmers and farm workers.

Violence Against White Farmers: What's Going On?

Some white farmers in South Africa have been brutally murdered. There are harrowing cases in which entire families have been attacked — sometimes involving torture or hate-filled language. These incidents are real and horrific.

South Africa has an extremely high murder rate overall: more than 20,000 murders per year, which amounts to roughly 60 per day.
Most victims are Black South Africans, often living in poor townships. Farm murders represent a small percentage of all killings, but they stand out due to their often violent nature and the isolation of many farms. South Africa continues to struggle with the legacies of apartheid: poverty, inequality, trauma, and a deeply violent society.

Many South Africans — Black, white, and everyone in between — are working hard together toward healing and justice.

"Makeba" is a song by Jain, released in 2015. It is a tribute to Miriam Makeba, a famous South African singer and activist known as "Mama Africa", who fought against apartheid in South Africa.

Apartheid (1948–1994) was a system of legalized racial segregation imposed by the white minority government in South Africa.

Many people around the world mistakenly think of Africa as a single country, but in reality, Africa is a vast continent made up of 54 diverse countries, including Algeria, Angola, Benin, Botswana, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Central African Republic, Comoros, Republic of the Congo (Congo-Brazzaville), Democratic Republic of the Congo (Congo-Kinshasa), Djibouti, Egypt, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Eswatini (formerly Swaziland), Ethiopia, Gabon, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Ivory Coast (Côte d'Ivoire), Cameroon, Cape Verde, Kenya, Lesotho, Liberia, Libya, Madagascar, Malawi, Mali, Morocco, Mauritania, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, Niger, Nigeria, Uganda, Rwanda, São Tomé and Príncipe, Senegal, Seychelles, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Africa, South Sudan, Sudan, Tanzania, Togo, Tunisia, Chad, Zambia, Zimbabwe.

There is a common misconception that everyone in Africa is poor. This is simply not true. Many Africans live prosperous and comfortable lives, often owning their own homes without mortgages or taxes - a lifestyle that, in some ways, can be better than what many experience in America.

Another false belief is that all Africans are uneducated or uncivilized. While there are certainly challenges in some areas, Africa is home to countless educated, skilled, and innovative people, thriving in cities and rural areas alike.  It's important to move beyond stereotypes and recognize the richness, complexity, and diversity of Africa and its people.

"There will come a day when we will see many more radicals, extremists, and terrorists coming from Europe, due to a lack of decisiveness, trying to be politically correct, or assuming that they know the Middle East, Islam, and 'the others' better than we do. And I'm sorry, but that is pure ignorance." — from the speech of Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan (Minister of Foreign Affairs of the UAE) during the Tweeps Forum in 2019.

The Tweeps Forum is an international, interactive event launched in 2013 and held in Riyadh. It is organized by the MiSK Foundation of Mohammed bin Salman. It serves as a platform where youth and leaders worldwide come together to discuss how social media can effectively contribute to society, peace, and security. Themes include combating extremism, counter-terrorism, and the role of social media in sharing meaningful ideas.

For sheer ignorance and the deliberate choice to ignore problems, it is the citizens who pay the highest price.

The number of attacks is no longer countable. On 7 July 2005, four suicide bombers carried out coordinated attacks on London's public transport system, killing 52 people and injuring more than 700.
And then there was the Manchester Arena bombing (2017), the Bataclan and Paris attacks (2015), the Brussels Zaventem and metro attacks (2016), the Berlin Christmas market attack (2016), the Nice truck attack (2016), the London Bridge and Borough Market attack (2017), the Stockholm truck attack (2017), the Vienna attack (2020), the Utrecht station attack (2019), and more. 

Let us also not forget the French history teacher Samuel Paty, who was beheaded in October 2020, and the murder of Theo van Gogh (2004). 

Or the 85-year-old French priest Jacques Hamel, who was beheaded during a Mass in the church of Saint-Étienne-du-Rouvray in 2016 by two Islamic terrorists. Or the sexual violence. 

How do we address this issue? Certainly not by denying its existence and immediately labeling those who point it out as Nazis. If anything is fascist, it is silencing dissenting voices. 

Think of Pim Fortuyn, who was demonized for years and was ultimately murdered in 2002 by a left-wing activist. Or Wil Schuurman, the wife of Janmaat, who was left permanently disabled in an attack by left-wing activists and still uses a wheelchair. To this day, the perpetrators show little to no remorse. These are painful examples of how political polarization and hatred lead to violence and injustice — something we must never ignore.

What can we learn from the United Arab Emirates?

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has traditionally taken a very different approach to refugee reception than many Western countries. Unlike some European countries, such as Germany or Sweden, the UAE has not taken in large numbers of refugees through official refugee programs or asylum systems. However, the UAE provides significant humanitarian aid to refugees in the region. It has relatively strict immigration and residency permit rules, making it difficult for refugees to be admitted. The number of attacks in the UAE is relatively rare. 

Recognizing a problem is the first step towards a solution.

See Unveiled: How the West Empowers Radical Muslims by Yasmine Mohammed

Germany offers refugees and asylum seekers free housing, healthcare, monthly allowances, and child benefits. Yet, some still openly express hostility toward the very country that welcomed them.

An Islamist demonstration in Hamburg Germany in April 2024 calling for the establishment of a caliphate and the implementation of Sharia law, where more than 1,000 people participated and some held signs with messages like "Caliphate is the solution" and "Sharia is the solution. "We will take over".

In some cultures, such as in Afghanistan, Somalia, and Syria, women are traditionally viewed as inferior, and this can also be observed in certain areas of Europe since the arrival of migrants from these countries, where women's safety has noticeably decreased. 

Nuisance in cities caused by groups of Syrian youth, mayors sound the alarm 

2025 (Netherlands, source: RTL News) Mayors of several major cities want The Hague to help them combat the nuisance caused by groups of Syrian youths. According to Utrecht and Groningen, these young people are staying in various parts of the Netherlands and visiting each other. "This is a nationwide problem." 

's-Hertogenbosch has been plagued by incidents since mid-July. A stabbing and several shoplifting incidents occurred, people were pelted with stones and branches, and there was an assault with a bicycle chain.

A group of 27 Syrian youths with temporary residency status has been identified for the incidents in this city. "They have caused a great many incidents at a rapid pace," Mayor Jack Mikkers told RTL Nieuws. Slightly more than half of the youths are minors. 

In Nijmegen, the number of shoplifting incidents has recently increased significantly, a spokesperson said. Fights also break out regularly. "These incidents mainly involve Syrian youths, but other young people are also involved." 

A letter sent by Mayor Hubert Bruls to the troublesome youths states that they can choose the right path or the wrong path. To get on the right path and stay on it, the young people can receive help. A wrong path, on the other hand, can lead to a criminal record. 

In Groningen, things went wrong starting at the end of April: within a few weeks, four violent incidents occurred involving the use of chains and branches. "It's unacceptable that they're using Groningen's city center as a backdrop to fight out their feuds," said a spokesperson. 

Utrecht is experiencing less nuisance this summer, but last year it faced some serious violent incidents, which even led to unsafe situations for the police and law enforcement. 

The incidents in both Utrecht and Groningen often involved Syrian youth from all over the country. "The problem is shifting," says a spokesperson for the municipality of Utrecht. "We're doing what we can locally, but we also need to cooperate nationally." Utrecht is already in contact with the Ministry of Justice, the Central Agency for the Reception of Asylum Seekers, and Nidos, which provides support to young, unaccompanied refugees. 

Mayors can take measures to maintain public order in their municipalities, but they believe that's not enough. "That's treating the symptoms," says the Utrecht spokesperson. "This is a nationwide problem that manifests itself in various cities, and we want a structural approach to it." As an example, he mentions exchanging data to identify the entire group of disruptive Syrians.

According to Mayor Mikkers of 's-Hertogenbosch, the Syrian youth are being cared for here under "looser rules," and they're not used to that. "It needs to be stricter and more focused," he says. The young people receive support from social services until they turn 18. From 18, they reach the age of independence under Dutch law. "But they're not independent," Mikkers believes. "They've skipped puberty. My request to the minister is to raise the age for this group from 18 to 21 or 24." 

The troublemakers in 's-Hertogenbosch have been temporarily banned from the city center. "We can arrest young people who violate this and take them to the police station. That sends a stronger message than just a warning," says a municipal spokesperson. 

2025 August, Netherlands - Multiple stab and slash wounds—including injuries to the neck—were discovered on 17-year-old Lisa when her body was found in a ditch early Wednesday morning. She had cycled home from Amsterdam to Abcoude via the Holterbergweg, called the police herself, but tragically was found dead upon their arrival. A 22-year-old man residing in an asylum seeker center has been arrested; he is also suspected of a violent sexual assault last week and an attempted sexual assault earlier this month. He faces charges including murder and rape and will appear before a court on Monday.

France - august 2025 - A 32-year-old Ukrainian woman was raped near the Eiffel Tower. The publication writes that the suspect introduced himself as a 17-year-old Libyan. Law enforcement officers are still verifying information about his identity. Le Parisien emphasizes that there have been no cases of sexual violence at the foot of the Eiffel Tower since the fall of 2024. Then, on suspicion of raping two Latvian women, three Egyptians and one Algerian who were illegally in the country were detained. Before that, in the summer of 2023, a Mexican tourist was sexually assaulted, and in October of the same year, a policewoman from England was raped.

Muslim countries have highest rates of suicide, murder, rape and mental health problems

(source) A lost generation and grim future awaits if the Middle East is not stabilised, according to 25-year study of countries stretching from Morocco to Pakistan.

Suicide, murder, rape and mental health conditions are skyrocketing in a stretch of Muslim-majority countries from Morocco to Pakistan, many of which have been wracked by violence and conflict.

A major study covering data from the last 25 years shows soaring rates of death by suicide or at the hands of others. In 2015 alone, the last year for which data was used, around 30,000 people committed suicide, while 35,000 were murdered. The figures do not include deaths in places which are at war, such as Syria and Iraq, and represent increases of 100 per cent and 152 per cent respectively since 1990.

The study was conducted by researchers at the University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME).

"In other parts of the world during the same period, the number of deaths from suicide increased 19 percent and interpersonal violence by 12 percent," stated one of the 15 reports published this week in the International Journal of Public Health.

The researchers also found a "sharp increase" in mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. "Depression and anxiety disorders were the most common mental conditions," according to the study.

"Intractable and endemic violence is creating a lost generation of children and young adults," said Dr Ali Mokdad, the study's lead author and the Director for Middle Eastern Initiatives at IHME. "The future of the Middle East is grim unless we can find a way to bring stability to the region."

The research showed that the wars in Yemen, Iraq and Syria in particular are taking a severe toll on the health of the population in those countries. Not only are the effects immediate in terms of death and injury, but "these events will lead to increased health burden in the future as the next generation…is being raised under the harsh conditions of malnutrition and lack of preventive health services."

Yemen has the highest proportion of its population suffering from food insecurity,at 36 per cent.

Despite the fast increasing need for mental health professionals to address the psychological fallout of conflict and poverty, the region has very few psychiatrists and psychologists. Many of the countries have only 0.5 psychiatrists for every 100,000 people. By comparison, Europe has more than 40 per 100,000.

The study was conducted using estimates from the annual Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries, and Risk Factors study and focused on the 600 million people of the "Eastern Mediterranean", which includes 22 countries from the Maghreb, Horn of Africa, the Middle East — including the GCC — and Afghanistan and Pakistan. 

The geographical area has endured, to varying degrees, conflict for decades.An estimated 208,179 people were estimated to have been killed by war, suicide and murder in 2015, of which 144,000 died in war. 

Such estimates are almost always below the true figures due to the difficulties of collecting reliable data in war zones. But violence and the associated psychological disorders are not the only alarming findings about the region's health trends.

"In recent years, many of the health gains for some countries have slowed and several health conditions that were under control are re-emerging," Dr Mokdad said. "This study clearly indicates that the future health of the region is in danger."

Even the wealthiest per capita countries of the GCC will be affected directly or indirectly by the impact of global warming and climate change.

Some of the countries "face significant environmental challenges due to lack of water, rising temperatures, and sandstorms," the study found. Air pollution also needs to be addressed. 

In the UAE, Qatar and Oman, transport-related accidents were the second highest cause of death in 2015, at 14 per cent, 20 per cent and 16 per cent respectively. While such deaths are falling in all the countries except Libya, Pakistan and Egypt, they were doing so at a slower rate than elsewhere in the world. The overall level of obesity in the Eastern Mediterranean has increased by 37 per cent since 1980, the study, but obesity is most prevalent in Qatar and Kuwait.

Child mortality also fell more slowly than the global rate in many of the 22 countries. Sudan, Pakistan and Afghanistan are all in the top ten countries with the highest child mortality rates. Eighty per cent of all child deaths occurred in those three countries along with Somalia, South Sudan and Yemen.

The study also found that most of the cases responsible for a tenfold increase in HIV and Aids-related deaths in the last 25 years occurred in three Horn of Africa countries — Djibouti, Somalia and Sudan.

"In this region, individuals infected with HIV are dying faster than the rest of the world,"said Charbel El Bcheraoui, assistant professor at IHME. "This is a sign that HIV patients are not receiving proper treatment in an era where HIV can be well controlled with the appropriate treatment regimens."

The countries studied are: Afghanistan, Egypt, Bahrain, Djibouti, Iraq, Iran, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Oman, Pakistan, Palestine, Qatar, Yemen, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, and the UAE.

What does this mean when these individuals migrate to Europe?
A 25-year study shows that many people from the Middle East and North Africa suffer from severe mental health issues due to war, poverty, trauma, and lack of healthcare. When they migrate to Europe—often as refugees—some bring unresolved trauma with them.

This poses significant challenges for reception, integration, and public health in Europe:

• Mental healthcare: Most European countries are not adequately prepared for the high number of migrants suffering from PTSD, depression, anxiety disorders, or other mental illnesses. There are language barriers, cultural differences, and a shortage of specialized care providers.

• 'Disturbed individuals' and incidents: A small portion of this group appears in the media as "mentally disturbed" following serious incidents, including violence or even attacks. While not representative of the whole group, this reinforces fear and polarization in society.

• Risk of radicalization: In combination with isolation, poverty, hopelessness, or religious extremism, mentally vulnerable individuals may also become more susceptible to radicalization.

• Important nuance: Not every migrant from these regions struggles with mental health issues or poses a risk. Some are victims of violence themselves and are seeking a safer life.

The explosive rise in mental health problems in countries like Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, or Syria has consequences that reach far beyond their borders. Without improved screening, support, and mental healthcare, the risks to public safety and social cohesion will only grow in Europe.

'I am just the wife' 

Samantha Lewthwaite, for anyone who may have forgotten, is the Christian-born daughter of a former British soldier who became a Muslim convert and married one of the 7/7 London suicide bombers, Germaine Lindsay.

Following the 2005 attacks, she initially claimed ignorance of her husband's plans, but later disappeared and resurfaced as a suspected key figure in multiple terrorist attacks in Africa.

'Samantha played dumb – I am just the wife,' former Metropolitan Police anti-terrorism officer David Videcette recalled when interviewed for the Netflix series, World's Most Wanted.

 Lewthwaite is believed to have joined the al-Qaeda-linked group al-Shabaab, playing a central role in financing and coordinating attacks that have killed over 240 people, including the 2013 Westgate mall siege and the 2015 Garissa University massacre.

Despite an international arrest warrant, she has evaded capture for nearly two decades and is thought to be hiding in Somalia. 

Fatima Aberkan, often referred to as one of Belgium's most prominent "ISIS brides," is a Belgian national who left for Syria during the rise of the Islamic State. Like other Western women who joined the caliphate, she initially claimed she had been misled and knew little about the group's true nature.

However, investigations revealed that Aberkan had strong ideological ties to jihadist networks in Belgium even before her departure. She came from a radicalised family, with multiple members involved in extremist circles. Fatima herself was suspected of playing a more active role than she publicly admitted, possibly in recruitment or propaganda.

Her case drew significant attention in Belgium and highlighted the challenges of dealing with returnees who pose potential security risks while often portraying themselves as victims.

 it is a common pattern in cases involving women connected to jihadist groups like ISIS or al-Shabaab: they often claim ignorance or downplay their role. This happens for several reasons, both strategic and psychological.

Many of these women portray themselves as passive followers — wives, mothers, or victims — rather than active participants. This narrative can serve as a legal defense, aiming to reduce criminal responsibility or public backlash. It also plays into wider societal perceptions that underestimate women's agency in violent extremism.

In some cases, women may indeed have been misled or held limited power within these networks. But in others, evidence shows that women acted as recruiters, fundraisers, or even moral enforcers within these groups — roles they rarely admit to publicly. Figures like Samantha Lewthwaite, Shamima Begum, and Fatima Aberkan all initially denied deeper involvement, but were later linked to radical networks and terrorist activity. Their stories highlight how ideology, manipulation, and self-preservation often intersect — blurring the line between victimhood and complicity.

Despite the serious consequences of their actions, many of these women rarely express genuine remorse or take responsibility. Instead, they maintain carefully crafted stories of innocence — denying involvement, shifting blame, or outright lying. This consistent refusal to acknowledge their role raises important questions about accountability, justice, and the true nature of radicalisation. 

Cultural Differences You Can't Ignore

"Islam is a religion of the flesh, everything is about satisfying lust and carnal desire. Life is only for nikah and breeding,sometimes four wives are not enough. There is nothing higher than sex". -  former Sufi.

The images speak for themselves: swans, ducks, and other protected animals being caught to eat; flowers stolen from fresh graves; stuffed animals taken from a memorial for two recently deceased children. These are not abstract stories, but concrete incidents-captured on camera and confirmed in the news. Denying these differences only postpones the problems and leaves both newcomers and society uncertain. 

Eurojust supported the German and Dutch authorities in a coordinated operation against an organized criminal group (OCG) smuggling primarily Syrian migrants to Germany. Five suspects were arrested in a joint operation in Germany, the Netherlands, and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Since 2021, at least 500 migrants have been irregularly transported via the so-called Balkan route. 

However, the network itself boasts of far higher numbers of migrants being smuggled and advertises these figures on social media. 

The proceeds from the migrant smuggling operation are estimated at at least €1.4 million. The arrested suspects are all Syrian nationals who arranged the transport of migrants in vehicles overland from Greece to Germany. On average, they charged a fee of €4,500 per person for the irregular transports. source

Migrants as a profitable business model

Family-run luxury hotel that turned down £1m offer to house asylum seekers is forced to shut after 36 years

A hotel and popular wedding venue in Kent which turned down a £1million offer to house newly-arrived asylum seekers has been forced to close its doors. Mr Martin revealed in 2022 that he was offered £1,080,000 and a guarantee of 100% occupancy for 12 months at the 22-bedroom hotel, which had recently won a prestigious AA rosette for its food and service. ''Quite honestly my wife and I felt repulsed and very angry that they would think I would ever consider it.' source

Saga of the migrant who moved into a retirement block with his much younger wife and toddler twins – and a human rights farce that'll make you despair

2025 - UK (source) Shahidul Haque, 59, a twice married father of nine from Bangladesh, arrived in the block in July last year. Five months later, unbeknown to owners of the site, he moved his second wife, 28-year-old Jakia Sultana Monni and their twin three-year-old daughters into the one-bedroom flat.

Labour's Irim Ali openly admits helping illegal migrants to stay in the UK, and even gives advice to submit applications based on human rights laws.

Ben from GB News asked her 'how much money she has made from fixing home office applications for illegal migrants? You said have no fear, Irim Ali is here. I'll help anyone who is illegal without a valid visa or anyone who's overstayed their visa using human rights loopholes. You charge 1500 pounds for business sponsor licenses. Is that what's paid for your nice Mercedes with a private number plate?' She did not respond. See video below.

However, it has been alleged that asylum seekers have been travelling from the UK back to Afghanistan, with the threats they claim in the country having been exaggerated.

The revelations have been blasted as proof Britain's "generosity has been taken advantage of", with critics telling GB News there is an urgent need for change to the UK's asylum policy.

A former interpreter, who served with British forces in Afghanistan before starting a new life in the UK, claimed that the Afghanistan Relocations and Assistance Policy (ARAP) had been exploited by Afghans.

The allegations were made after a data breach involving details of over 18,000 soldiers and some of their family members involved in Afghanistan, after a super-injunction was lifted.

One Afghan migrant, who has been living in a Home Office hotel in the Midlands, said: "You don't leave before getting your asylum case accepted because first it is risky and second the British Government will be holding your passport during the process of your application."

The migrants instead obtain Iranian visas "very easily" and travel to the Afghan border and cross without having Afghan stamps on their passports.

They bribe Iranian and Taliban border forces thorugh prior contacts to avoid passports stamps that would "put them in trouble". 

A Taliban official told The Telegraph that it is not their issue and is up to the Government "to solve their problems".

One migrant said: "My husband is insisting we should go and visit because it's been over two years since we saw our families last time.

"But I tell him we have a safe and happy life here, and why should we put our status in danger."

She explained that a relative of hers has returned to Afghanistan with his family, despite being evacuated to the UK two years ago.

She said: "They went there a few months ago, spent 20 days in Herat and came back without having a problem because British authorities think they were in Iran, not Afghanistan.

"There are a lot of people who are living in the hotels going in and out of Afghanistan daily; they just keep a low profile while in the country."

Dr Alan Mendoza, executive director of the foreign policy and national security think tank The Henry Jackson Society, told GB News: "It's obviously nonsensical that anyone claiming asylum because they fear persecution in a country would return to that country for a holiday.

"We took Afghans in rightly because of our involvement in that country and our fears that the Taliban would exact revenge on innocent people.

"Instead, our generosity has been taken advantage of - as it so often has been under our current asylum system - and this simply highlights the urgent need to change policy to one that will henceforth reject migrants who come here out of choice."

The asylum seekers have allegedly also "staged torture videos" in order to be able to relocate to the UK.

The former interpreter said that "the only threat is unemployment" for them.

Aghans, who had already been granted asylum in other safe countries such as Belgium, were still granted asylum in the UK.

GB News has approached the Ministry of Defence for comment. 

Children and Poverty in the Netherlands 

In the Netherlands, a significant number of children grow up in poverty. Statistics show that approximately 1 in 12 children live in households that do not have enough money for basic necessities as well as social activities. About 28% of these families cannot afford outings or paid activities, 10% cannot celebrate birthdays or invite friends over, and 7% cannot participate in school activities such as school trips. Children in poverty also engage in sports less frequently: less than half participate in weekly sports, compared to 76–80% of children from higher-income households.

Poverty therefore goes beyond a lack of money for food and clothing; it limits children's social participation and can lead to exclusion. While some children in poverty miss out on these experiences, other groups, such as growing numbers of asylum seekers, often have opportunities to attend outings or attractions. This contrast highlights the importance of ensuring that all children have equal opportunities to participate in social and cultural activities.

In the UK in 4-star hotels, in the Netherlands to amusement parks

Before 

After

While much of the mainstream media rushed to label the September 13, 2025 protest in London as a "far-right" or even "Nazi" rally, the reality on the ground told a very different story. Millions of ordinary people — black and white, young and old, gay and straight — marched side by side. The supposed 'racist white supremacist march' in London was opened by a black choir on stage.

They were united not by hate, but by a shared determination to defend their country against the unchecked arrival of illegal migrants and the crime waves tearing communities apart. This was not the fringe; this was Britain speaking with one voice: enough is enough.

Germany: 8-year-old Child dies after being pushed in front of train

2019 (source) - BERLIN

An 8-year-old boy was killed at Frankfurt's main station on Monday after being pushed in front of a high-speed train.

Police said the suspect, a 40-year-old man from Eritrea, was arrested while trying to flee the station.

Eyewitnesses told local media that the suspect first pushed the boy's mother onto the tracks, but she managed to escape.

After pushing the child onto the tracks, the suspect also attempted to push a third person in front of the train.

The suspect's motive remained unclear, and police said the child and his mother were unknown to him, according to a preliminary investigation.

Death of German girl (16) not an accident, but pushed in front of train 

2025 (source) In Germany, an Iraqi migrant killed a 16-year-old Ukrainian girl. Sixteen-year-old Liana was returning home after her dental assistant training when a group of migrants began following her. The girl called her grandfather, telling him that she was being followed and that she was scared. The last thing he heard on the phone was his granddaughter's scream.

Some time later, her parents learned that Liana had died after being struck by a train. At first, the media and authorities reported it as a suicide. However, the family rejected this version and demanded a full investigation.

Soft-touch asylum judge Hugo Norton-Taylor sides with rapists and murderers

A GAZAN family of six granted the right to settle in Britain under a scheme intended for Ukrainians. A convicted rapist who avoided deportation to Afghanistan on the basis that the authorities there might take a 'dim view' of sex offenders. A murderer blocked from deportation to his native Bangladesh because he claimed he was bisexual.

They might sound like a random selection of the increasingly bizarre legal cases to be heard in Britain under the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). But they all have one thing in common: one of the judges sitting on each of the cases was Hugo Norton-Taylor.

It is six years since Norton-Taylor, then 46, was appointed a salaried judge in the Upper Tribunal, Immigration and Asylum chamber – the court to which failed asylum-seekers and other foreign nationals eager to remain in Britain can apply to have their cases reconsidered.

But, in that time, Norton-Taylor has acquired something of a reputation. In a judiciary that sometimes seems dominated by bleeding-heart liberals, he stands out as having an unusually large number of unfathomable rulings to his name.

It takes something for both Keir Starmer, himself a human rights lawyer, and our Left-wing Foreign Secretary David Lammy to be shocked by a decision made under the ECHR. But that is what has happened in the case of a Gazan family who applied for asylum in the UK through the Ukrainian resettlement scheme.

The family – not unreasonably – lost their case in the Lower Tribunal on the grounds that they were not Ukrainian citizens and had no connection to the country.

Yet, in January this year, the decision was overturned by Norton-Taylor, who ruled that the earlier decision did not 'strike a fair balance between the appellants' interests and those of the public'.

Norton-Taylor was still trying to defend this ruling last week when he was involved in a public spat with Lammy.

The family, as it happens, have not yet made it to Britain because they are in Gaza and need permission from the Israeli government to leave. Lammy has so far refused to grant the consular support from the UK, which would be needed to facilitate their journey to Britain – prompting Norton-Taylor to urge him to 'think again'.

As the Foreign Office has pointed out with some alarm, Norton-Taylor's decision may open the door for anyone living in a conflict zone anywhere in the world to apply for asylum in the UK. That could be millions of people. 

Yet, unlike government ministers, the judiciary does not have to deal with the practical and financial consequences of its rulings. 

Norton-Taylor happens to be the son of Richard Norton-Taylor, a former Guardian journalist who now writes for online publication Declassified-UK, often on Palestinian issues.

In one recent offering, Norton-Taylor Sr argued, somewhat hysterically, that the Government's decision to proscribe the group Palestine Action after its activists broke into RAF Brize Norton and spray-painted two aircraft 'threatens all our civil liberties'. Perhaps he would like to name a single country in the world that would tolerate protesters breaking into its military bases and vandalising equipment.

I don't know what the younger Norton-Taylor thinks about the Government's decision to ban Palestine Action. But when it comes to his general liberal sympathies, he certainly appears to be a chip off the old block.

In the same month as his eccentric ruling granted asylum to the Palestinian family, it emerged that he had also handed Ramazan Morina, an Albanian who had twice been refused asylum, the right to remain in Britain on the grounds that it would be 'harsh' on his stepchildren. Never mind enforcing migration law, nor acknowledging that Albania is a safe country,

in Norton-Taylor's hands our immigration system hinges on the feelings of children who aren't even descended from the asylum seeker in question.

Even more outrageous, to my mind, was a ruling in 2022 to block the deportation of Afghan native Ibrahim Ahmadi, who had been granted asylum before being jailed for seven years for raping a woman in Glasgow.

Serious offenders are supposed to be removed from Britain on release from prison. But Norton-Taylor, sitting with another judge, Tom Wilding, ruled that Ahmadi couldn't be sent home because it was 'reasonably likely that the Taliban would take a dim view of an individual who had committed a violent sexual offence in a Western country'.

Given how the Taliban treat women, it is hard to see that they would be terribly bothered by what he had done, but yet again, thanks to judges such as Norton-Taylor, we have ended up with a migration system that rewards murderers and rapists for their crimes.

Ahmadi, by the way, was helped in his appeal by £1,330 worth of legal aid – paid for by you and me.

It was a similar story with 'EH', a Bangladeshi who had been jailed for a minimum of 12 years in 2008 for murdering his wife. The killer had claimed he was 'bisexual' – although the court accepted that he had lied about this to support his case. 

On his release, EH should have been summarily deported, but this was blocked on the grounds of Article 3 of the ECHR which provides protection against degrading and inhumane treatment, such as the type he may have faced for his fictitious 'bisexuality'.

The judge involved? You've guessed it: Norton-Taylor again.

Decisions such as these are surely a long way from what the bureaucrats who drafted the ECHR had in mind back in 1950.

But the problem with the convention – as its critics have rightly highlighted – is that its vague principles are open to wide interpretation. That gives judges huge leeway in their rulings – which certain liberal-minded officials are only too happy to take advantage of. And that's only scratching the surface.

Let's not forget Shaban Binaku, the Kosovan who illegally re-entered Britain after being convicted of theft, possessing a weapon and supplying class A drugs – but was granted permission to stay in 2020 on the grounds that deportation would be unfair on his children.

Or the Sudanese '16-year-old' who was ruled more 'likely than not' to be telling the truth about his age when he applied for asylum – despite his receding hairline, beard and physical assessments suggesting he was closer to 25. Once again, rulings with Norton-Taylor's fingerprints all over them.

He is not be the only judge making decisions that seem remarkably favourable to migrants.

But it is astonishing how many times he is involved in overruling 'harsher' decisions made in the Lower Tribunal.

More concerning than these, however, is the 'groupthink' of other judges to try to prevent any criticism. In February – when both the Prime Minister and Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch condemned the ruling to grant asylum to the Gazan family – Baroness Carr, Lady Chief Justice, complained about a 'mounting campaign of attacks' on judges.

In a democracy, it is vital that we have the right to hold those in power to account. When judges such as Norton-Taylor are effectively imposing a migration policy that is vastly at odds with public opinion and stated government policy, that matters.

For many of us, most of Norton-Taylor's rulings stink. Hopelessly soft-touch judges like him are undermining public confidence in our appeals courts, perhaps irreparably.

Judge Fiona Beach who allowed knife-wielding drug dealer to stay in UK was on pro-asylum charity

A judge who controversially permitted a knife-wielding drug dealer to remain in Britain was once on the board of a pro-asylum charity.

Fiona Beach found that Christian Quadjovie, 26, was not a threat to the public despite a string of convictions including for sexual assault, carrying a knife and repeat drug offences.

The French-born criminal has spent a total of 963 days in prison since arriving in the UK in 2009 at the age of ten. 

But he was granted a reprieve by the judge, who is a former director at Asylum Aid and represented migrants for free on behalf of the Bail for Immigration Detainees charity, the Sun on Sunday reported.

The judgement has since been overturned after Government lawyers claimed it was 'made against the weight of evidence.'

And shadow justice secretary Robert Jenrick has made a formal request to the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office to investigate whether Judge Beach, 54, had declared her previous roles.

He said that the judge's apparent conflict of interest undermined confidence in the courts. 

'This is the latest example of an immigration judge with open borders views,' he told the Sun on Sunday. 

'The similarity between her decisions and the political views she has broadcast totally undermines confidence in the system. Judges must be independent.' 

 Judge Beach was listed in the 2007 annual report from Bail in Immigration among the barristers who had volunteered their time to represent its clients in court.

And records show she was a director of Asylum Aid between September 2004 and February 2007.

Judge Beach first heard Quadjovie's case last April.

He had first been convicted aged just 12 after sexually assaulting a girl under 13, then was given a nine-month referral order for carrying a knife in public in 2016.

Later that same year he was convicted of drug offences, was detained for 30 months then caught with more drugs after he was released.

The Home Office attempted to deport Quadjovie but he argued that he would not be able to reintegrate in France.

A judiciary spokesman said all judges took an oath to remain impartial.

They added: 'In each case, judges make decisions based on the evidence and arguments presented, and apply the law as it stands.'  source Dailymail

Judge Justice Bean who ruled Epping migrant hotel can remain open is reported to conduct office over historic links to left-wing organisations

2025, UK, source - The judge who ruled asylum seekers can continue to be housed at an Essex hotel has been reported to the judiciary amid claims of 'apparent bias' over his links to left-wing organisations.

Lord Justice Bean delivered Friday's landmark Court of Appeal ruling, which meant an initial injunction preventing the Bell Hotel in Epping Forest from housing migrants was no longer valid.

Lord Justice Bean, sitting with two other judges, said the initial judge made 'a number of errors in principle'. It represented a victory for the Home Office, who can continue to use hotels to house asylum seekers, despite concerns from local councils and protests from communities.

But a leading barrister has referred the senior judge to the Judicial Conduct Investigations Office (JCIO), which deals with discipline, amid claims of potential conflicts of interest.

Lord Justice Bean was chairman of the socialist Fabian Society from 1989 to 1990 which works very closely with Labour.

He was succeeded by Labour grandees including the former Foreign Secretary Robin Cook, Treasury minister Ed Balls, Children's minister Margaret Hodge, and London Mayor Sadiq Khan.

He was one of the founding members of the Matrix Chambers, alongside Cherie Blair, wife of the former Labour Prime Minister Tony Blair, while Lord Hermer, the current Attorney General, joined later.

Lord Justice Bean is also reported to have served as a treasurer for the Society of Labour Lawyers, which describes itself ads a 'think-tank and affiliated socialist society which provides legal and policy advice to the Labour Party'.

Barrister Steven Barrett, who referred the judge to the JCIO, said in a social media post: 'He should not have heard the Bell Hotel appeal.' 

Mr Barrett made the complaint on Thursday, before the ruling was handed down, citing 'public trust and confidence in the Judiciary'. Writing after Friday's ruling, he added: 'I highlighted this issue before the judgment - because it was an issue already.

'It is far more of an issue now. 'The issue is apparent bias - not actual bias. 'Justice must be seen to be being done.'

Somani Hotels, which owns the Bell Hotel, and the Home Office challenged a High Court ruling which would have stopped 138 asylum seekers being housed there beyond September 12.

In an initial ruling, Mr Justice Eyre granted Epping Forest District Council (EFDC) an interim injunction after the authority claimed that Somani Hotels had breached planning rules by using the Bell as accommodation for asylum seekers.

But ministers were criticised for challenging the move, and Tory leader Kemi Badenoch said: 'Local communities should not pay the price for Labour's total failure on illegal immigration.'

She called on Conservative councils to continue to seek similar injunctions against asylum hotels in their areas.

Several councils have already signalled their intentions to make similar legal challenges, despite the Court of Appeal ruling.

This includes Labour-run authorities.

Reacting to the ruling, Home Office minister Dame Angela Eagle said the Government was committed to closing all asylum hotels by the end of this Parliament, but added that it appealed against the High Court ruling so that hotel use can be ended in a 'controlled and orderly way'.

Epping Forest District Council has said it is 'ruling nothing out' following the Court of Appeal decision, including taking its bid for a temporary injunction to the Supreme Court.

Overturning the High Court's grant of a temporary injunction, the judges cited concerns that it could incentivise 'disorderly' and 'unlawful' protests around asylum accommodation; the council's delay in bringing its legal challenge, described as 'procedurally unfair'; and the 'risk of injustice' if residents were removed from the hotel ahead of the full hearing on the matter in October.

Epping's legal challenge followed a series of protests outside the hotel amid accusations of sexual assault regarding two men being housed there.

Some protests saw clashes with police, resulting in six men being charged with violent disorder, two of whom have pleaded guilty.

2025 - A British judge — Sir Robert Jay — has caused outrage by wishing al-Qaeda terrorist Haroon Aswat "all the best" as he is released from psychiatric detention.
Aswat, a close associate of radical cleric Abu Hamza, was convicted in the U.S. for helping set up a terror training camp and has long been linked to the 2005 London bombings in which 52 people were killed.
Despite police warnings that he remains a threat, he will walk free in the UK without an ankle tag or surveillance — protected by a legal loophole. Critics say the judge's sympathetic remarks insult the victims of terrorism and expose how Britain's justice system fails to put public safety first.

Vladimir Putin 

There are images in which Vladimir Putin looks Christian Orthodox such as his participation in the water bath but he is not a Christian. You recognize them by their fruits. Killing children, making them fatherless, sending a 10.000 army to rape their mothers.

Margarita Simonyan, one of the Kremlin's highest-profile mouthpieces, declared on TV that the idea of Putin pressing the red button is 'more probable' than the idea that he will allow Russia to lose the war. 'This is to my horror on one hand, but on the other hand, we will go to heaven, while they will simply croak... We're all going to die someday.' (source)
Russian soldiers raped a 9-month-old baby in front of its mother. That's according to the new report from the Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR).
