The marriage took place from prison via teleconference. Salah Abdeslam, the only surviving member of the commandos of the November 13, 2015 attacks and sentenced this summer to life in prison without parole, has married in prison, according to a report by RTL that Le Parisien can confirm.

The inmate, who is believed to be a co-perpetrator of the attacks that killed 130 people, tied the knot with a woman by phone from Fleury-Mérogis prison, according to RTL. The marriage was a religious and not a civil union.

In prison, Salah Abdeslam attracts the attention of many people, especially young radicalised women who send him letters. Two of these admirers are said to have tried to marry the terrorist in a religious way before backing out after the information surfaced in the press. www.leparisien.fr

Populism and imperialism threaten the world, Pope Francis said in his first speech on a trip to Bahrein Thursday.
    “We are witnessing with concern the growth on a wide scale of indifference and mutual suspicion, the spread of rivalries and conflicts that we had hoped had been overcome, populism, extremism, and imperialism that jeopardize the security and safety of all,” said Francis.
    The pope also called on authorities and people not to violate human rights and reiterated the Vatican’s opposition to the death penalty.
    He called for full religious freedom.

A cyclist has been declared brain dead following a collision with a concrete mixer in Berlin on Monday. Her injuries could have been mitigated had emergency response vehicles not been hampered by climate change activists blocking the road.

Authorities on Thursday corrected an earlier statement in which they announced the female victim had died, clarifying that she is alive and continuing to be treated in intensive care with substantial injuries.

A spokesperson for the Berlin fire brigade confirmed emergency response vehicles had been delayed to the scene of the accident due to protests by climate change activists blocking the A100 autobahn.

Emergency responders were stuck in traffic for a “quite relevant time (…) The rescue was delayed as a result,” said spokesperson Rolf Erbe.

His version of events were not denied by climate protest group “Last Generation,” which expressed their dismay at the situation on Monday and offered a statement directed at the female victim.

“We sincerely hope that your health has not worsened due to the delay,” said spokeswoman Carla Hinrichs. “In all our protest actions, the top priority is to ensure the safety of all people taking part,” she added.

Two activists face criminal proceedings for the demonstration, police revealed on Tuesday. Two males, aged 59 and 63, glued themselves to a road sign obstructing the response vehicles, Reuters reported.

This isn’t the first time that recent activism by climate change protesters has directly impacted the response time for emergency services heading to an incident.

Ambulances took 40 minutes to attend a road traffic accident on the M20 motorway in Kent, England, last month after two Just Stop Oil protesters scaled the Dartford Bridge, causing police to close the road for two days.

Lisa Webber, from Swanley, Kent, was killed by a speeding BMW when she stopped on the highway’s shoulder to assist another vehicle that had lost control in adverse weather conditions.

A second unnamed woman in her 40s was also hit and killed by the BMW.

“The eco-warriors may have thought it was an innocent protest, but they’ve got blood on their hands,” Mark Heap, 55, told the Daily Mail after suffering a broken back and a broken leg after he also stopped to help the stranded motorist.

The victims had been using the M20 as a diversion due to the bridge closure.

Former Met detective and chief inspector Mick Neville told The Sun: “They may not have directly caused the M20 accident. But had their irresponsible demo not taken place, the women and van driver would probably not have been there.”

The two protesters, Morgan Trowland, 39, and Marcus Decker, 33, were arrested and are being held in custody on remand. They will face a jury trial after both pleaded not guilty to committing a public nuisance over the stunt.

On 3rd November 2022, the teaser of the new film ‘The Kerala Story’ was released. The film produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah and directed by Sudipto Sen depicts the heartbreaking and gut-wrenching stories of 32000 women from Kerala who were radicalized to join the ISIS (Islamic States of Iraq and Syria) terrorist ranks. It is notable that many of these Muslim women from Kerala joining ISIS were converted with the motive of sending them to the terrorist organization ISIS.

The trailer shows a Muslim woman in front of the international border narrating her story. The character played by actress Adah Sharma says that earlier she used to be Shalini Unnikrishnan and wanted to serve the people as a nurse. She further tells that she was forcefully converted to Islam and renamed Fatima Ba, and subsequently sent to ISIS to become a terrorist and ultimately get locked up in an Afghanistan jail.

‘The Kerala Story’ narrates the pain of 32000 such converted Muslim women from Kerala who were sent to ISIS as terrorists only to get buried in the deserts of Yemen and Syria. A dreaded game of converting a normal girl to an ISIS terrorist is being played in Kerala for the last few years. Increasing radicalization in the southern state because of the activities of Islamist organizations like the Popular Front of India and its other allied outfits is responsible for this trafficking of girls to the gulf.

Makers of the film promise authentic and unbiased portrayal

The teaser for “The Kerala Story,” which promises to be a very authentic, unbiased, and truthful tale of events that shocked Kerala, is both matter-of-fact and powerful in its stance. While most people would avoid the topic, producer Vipul Amrutlal Shah was adamant to present this gruesome story on the big screen, supported by 4 years of exhaustive study. Director Sudipto Sen visited the region, including some Arab nations, talked with residents and the relatives of the victims, and was astounded by what he saw.

At the time of the announcement of the film in March 2022, Vipul Shah had said, “In this movie, you will be confronted with a human tragedy that will leave you reeling. During the first meeting with Sudipto (writer-director), I burst into tears as he described it to me and shared his extensive research that spanned three to four years. I decided to produce this film on the same day that occurred. We want to create a film that is very realistic, impartial, and accurate to the events depicted.”

Kerala has been the target of Islamists since 2009

According to a recent investigation, approximately 32,000 females from the Hindu and Christian faiths in Kerala and Mangalore have converted to Islam since 2009. The majority of these girls eventually wind up in Syria, Afghanistan, and other regions with a high concentration of ISIS and Haqqani influence. The movie will reveal the truth about this conspiracy and the suffering of these ladies.

Though the conversions started in 2009, ISIS involvement in Kerala was initially traced in 2013. As early as 2014, ISIS established roots in Kerala, with modules encouraging religious conversions and aiming to attract professionals to join its troops in Afghanistan and Syria. Plenty of Kerala men and women are said to have joined the ISKP (Islamic State of Khorasan Province) in recent years. The United Nations warned in its 2020 terrorism report that there are a substantial number of ISIS terrorists in the Indian state of Kerala.

Furthermore, a National Investigation Agency’s charge sheet filed in July 2020 in connection with the murder of Special Sub Inspector Wilson revealed a strong association between ISIS terrorists active and growing in the state. The NIA is currently investigating cases related to IS operating recruitment centers in Kerala. Several non-Muslim women have also been radicalized and converted in the last few years and have been sent to Afghanistan and Syria to fight for the Islamic State.

Converting and radicalizing women in Kerala

When Mini Vijayan, a military official, claimed that her daughter Aparna had been forcibly converted to Islam, the issue of Kerala women being converted and recruited by ISIS received additional widespread attention in 2016. Aparna was linked to Sathyasarani, also known as the Malappuram-based Markazul Hidaya Educational and Charitable Trust. She arrived at the courthouse with a woman named Sumayya. Aparna informed the authorities that she had converted to Islam and did not want to rejoin her mother. When Aparna disappeared from her Kochi dormitory as a B. Tech. student, she married Aashiq, an auto driver from Malappuram.

Such episodes have been documented in several instances. When the NIA began looking into the Love Jihad and ISIS connection cases in 2017, they discovered that two Hindu girls called Athira and Akhila (who subsequently changed their names to Hadiya) had been lured by Sainaba, a PFI member.

The Malappuram connection

These ladies were all discovered to be associated with the Markazul Hidaya or the Sathyasarani Trust in Malappuram. Hadiya’s conversion and marriage to Shafeen Jahan were not unrelated events, according to the NIA, that testified in court, but rather the result of a planned operation by Sathyasarani and PFI. According to a sting operation against Sathyasarani and PFI, the founding member of PFI acknowledged on video that their ultimate objective is to turn India into an Islamic state. Additionally, it was announced that the NIA had received the investigative report.

The Sathyasarani Trust in Malappuram, also known as the Markazul Hidaya, a PFI-run organization, appears to be the unifying theme connecting these conversions and “education.” Individuals associated with this center included Aparna, Hadiya (Akhila), and the ladies who traveled to join ISIS. The records of 70 Hindu and Christian girls’ conversions were found during an investigation by law enforcement officials. The girls were there, according to the trust, to study religion.

This is just a tip of an iceberg

Sathyasarani is only one of several institutions. Its supporters continue to reject any affiliations with extreme organizations or terrorist organizations. In Kerala, several of these facilities are in operation. Zakir Naik’s Islamic Research Foundation is the primary source of literature used by 95% of these brainwashing centers. Numerous converted females have also mentioned how enthralled they were by Naik’s talks. 5,975 persons in the state reportedly converted to Islam between 2011 and 2015, according to government statistics. 1,410 people converted alone in 2015. Women under 35 make up a staggering 76 percent of the new converts.

What is the key legal hurdle?

This is remarkably similar to incidents of forced conversion in Sindh, Pakistan. The only difference is that because of India’s strict laws against child marriage, the victims are now adults. As a result, the cases simply get dropped or stagnated because the girl and her Muslim husband are safeguarded by the law for acting of their own free will, this introduces more issues for the family members and police. The family and authorities are unable to prove pressure or indoctrination without the girl’s clear confession.

Conclusion of The Kerala Story

Radical Islam has deeply rooted itself in Kerala. The sheer volume of radicalization, conversion, and recruiting centers operating is still far from grabbing the attention of the national media or directing it toward the issue. However, it is undeniably a matter of grave concern. In the post-ISIS world, using women as tools and weapons—whether through sex slavery or recruitment for terrorism—is no longer a secret. The governments, both state and union, must take it seriously and devise effective solutions to combat the problem. Now that the film ‘The Kerala Story’ is about to release soon, there is hope that this serious issue will come to the center of the popular discourse.

Residents of a town said they do not feel safe after they were told in a heated meeting that around 400 asylum seekers are currently living there. Around 80 residents packed themselves into a small hall for a Sandiacre Parish Council meeting to express their fears over a situation which they said was “dangerous” and “getting out of control”.

Residents expressed deep concern over claims that “gangs” of male asylum seekers were forming and intimidating both adults and children in the town, as reported by Derbyshire Live. It was also alleged that a group of asylum seekers had caused a disturbance at a local dentist surgeryand were seen using parks and woods in the area as toilets.

The lengthy meeting was held just days after it was reported that the Home Office had taken over the four-star Novotel hotel in Bostocks Lane to accommodate asylum seekers amid the current crisis situation on UK borders. It is understood that as well as the Novotel hotel, the nearby Best Western Nottingham Derby hotel on Bostocks Lane, which links Long Eaton and Sandiacre, has been closed for around two years for the same reason.

During the meeting Councillor Wayne Major, chairman of Sandiacre Parish Council, told the large number of residents in attendance that he was aware there were “roughly” 400 asylum seekers living in the town – all or most of whom were “single men” of mixed nationalities. His revelation drew a loud gasp from shocked residents.

One resident told the meeting he feared there was going to be “big crime” if the authorities could not control the situation. He said: “I think this is the start of something really serious. To me, these people have no respect for women. My wife was walking the dog yesterday (Monday) and there were four of five guys and she couldn’t pass them. She went running on to the road with oncoming traffic.

“I’ve also read that schoolgirls are being intimidated by them – now how serious is that? I’m telling you now, this is going to turn to big crime.”

Another resident expressed concerns that gangs were forming around the town’s Springfield Park and young girls had been approached. She said: “We’ve not been able to use Springfield Park because of the Travellers this year and now residents do not dare go there because there are at least 20 or 30 (asylum seekers) who play football there everyday. And I’ve heard girls and boys have been approached to take their phones off them.”

Another resident asked: “I’m not sure what is happening here. Are these people legal immigrants, illegal immigrants, asylum seekers, criminals? Who is exactly living here and where are they from?”

Cllr Major then responded: “We found out on October 13 the Home Office wished to take over the Novotel. We had grave concerns about this and (in partnership with other councils) sent a letter asking them not to open a second contingency centre in our town. One (Best Western Hotel) was difficult enough but two was obviously outrageous. The Best Western are all single men who have crossed the channel. At one stage the Novotel was meant to be families but it isn’t, it is all single men.”

It was heard police were requested to attend the meeting but did not. The town’s MP Maggie Throup was not in attendance. This drew criticism from some residents.

Another resident described the situation as “dangerous”. He said: “Tensions have built up so much it has got people to come out and all come together. For their safety, as well as the safety of our children – this is a tinder box. This could go off so easily and so fast and we need an urgent response to it. I’m disgusted the police are not here – I’m telling you one PSCO will do **** all.”

It was heard that police are planning a special event for residents to discuss concerns but this is yet to be confirmed.

Another resident said he had captured video footage of twelve men walking around “wielding bats and sticks”. He argued the change of use for the Novotel hotel was “illegal” and urged residents to start obtaining evidence to put pressure on local councils.

However, deep into the meeting when a resident suggested a way of helping the asylum seekers by “arranging English classes”, all of the residents then suddenly left the meeting. Like a line of falling dominoes, as soon as one left they all departed from the meeting. One resident was heard saying: “That’s my queue to leave”.

Cllr Major told residents Sandiacre Parish Council was in discussions with partners about the situation and would make them aware of residents concerns but stressed “there was little the parish council can do”. He urged residents to call police of concerns as many allegations seen on Facebook had not been reported to police.

In a statement made on Wednesday morning Sandiacre MP Maggie Throup has stated she was not informed of the parish council meeting in which dozens of residents expressed their fears and worries.

The Erewash MP said she was in Parliament at the time in the hope of securing a meeting “to demand that these accommodation centres close down ASAP”.

The statement in full reads: “Contrary to posts online, I neither knew nor was invited to the meeting about Home Office Accommodation Centres which took place last night (Tuesday) at Sandiacre Memorial Hall. I also refute many of the things attributed to me by a minority of people determined to whip up trouble for purely political purposes, rather than solving the issue.

“What is true, is that I was in Parliament last night trying to secure an urgent meeting with the Home Secretary to demand that these accommodation centres close down ASAP.

“I am also investigating what more Erewash Borough Council and Derbyshire County Council, as statutory consultees, can do to bring this matter to a swift conclusion, including the possibility of legal action.

Germany’s interior minister, Nancy Faeser, is being hit with serious allegations that she falsified the number of so-called refugees coming to Germany since the beginning of the year.

While she claims only 57,647 refugees have entered German territory, the federal police have registered 101,900 foreigners since January, with the federal police data covering only four different regions of the country: Berlin, Munich, Pirna, and Stuttgart. Her figure is thus over 40 percent lower than that reported by her country’s federal police force. Meanwhile, the actual numbers are believed to be far higher due to a lack of data from other districts.

Faeser is also being accused of even more egregious fudging of the numbers relating to asylum applications. The Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) reports that 154,557 people have applied for asylum since January. However, this number is 2.7 times more than what is cited in the interior ministry’s “Migration Analysis Report.”

Faeser additionally faces criticism for not providing the federal police with October’s migration figures in the “Migration Analysis Report” — the report only includes data until the end of September. Faeser may have incentive to hide those numbers from the general public, as experts believe October saw a major influx of migrants, which other countries like Hungary and Austria have already observed.

Germany has taken in over a million foreigners this year, with approximately 750,000 coming from Ukraine; however, they are not required to apply for asylum in Germany. Despite Faeser’s attempt to downplay the migration crisis, towns and municipalities are warning they are overwhelmed due to both Ukrainians and a large influx of migrants from Africa and the Middle East, which led 12 of 16 German states to declare last month they could no longer take in any more refugees.

The controversial interior minister, who has called for mass censorship while targeting conservatives, defended her refugee numbers. She said her ministry only reports on those immigrants apprehended near the border and that the federal police force may be counting duplciate entries. However, this would not explain the difference in asylum applications seen in the BAMF figures.

The country’s federal police union is raising the issue with the press, with the union’s leader, Heiko Teggatz, telling the Bild newspaper that the higher figures from the federal police “reflected exactly what my colleagues have been telling me for months.” He believes stationary border control points must be instituted and argues that authorities could then reject asylum seekers who have made an application in another country “directly at the border.”
