Antisemitism, Antizionism, Jihadism and the Reunited Germany. News by Fred Alan Medforth
On Saturday, 13th May 2023, unidentified Muslim youths misbehaved with two Muslim women and a Hindu man in Meerut, Uttar Pradesh. The incident took place in Bhagat Singh Market, under the jurisdiction of Kotwali police station.
The Muslim women were accompanied by their Hindu friend when a group of Muslim youths approached them. They misbehaved with the Hindu man and forcefully removed the veils worn by the Muslim women. The police have registered a case against the two unidentified youths and are actively searching for them.
The accused youths proceeded to inquire about the Muslim women’s fathers’ names. Initially, they forcibly stopped the two women and started interrogating them for walking with a Hindu man. The video capturing this misbehaviour has since become viral on various social media platforms.
In the viral video, the unidentified Muslim youths could be seen intimidating the Hindu youth. They were seen gripping the young man by his collar and forcefully dragging him around the market. The victim mentioned that he has suffered minor injuries to his head but that didn’t help.
Additionally, the video also captured the Muslim youths intimidating the Muslim girls by forcibly removing their veils. During the altercation, the young women clarified that the Hindu boy was their friend, to which the attackers responded with the question, “What kind of friend is he? Will you befriend Hindus?” In his defense, the Hindu boy informed the assailants that the two Muslim women were his colleagues but the aggressive assailants were not satisfied with that response. The video was recorded on Saturday.
The incident occurred within the jurisdiction of Kotwali police station, specifically at Bhagat Singh Market in Meerut. The police are actively working to identify the Muslim youths involved based on the viral video footage. Amit Rai, the CO of Kotwali police station, stated that the two Muslim women and the accompanying young man are adults, emphasizing their right to freely roam wherever they choose. The police have registered a case against the accused individuals and are trying to apprehend them.

An imam historically close to the Muslim Brotherhood in France becomes treasurer of an association promoting secularism…. Unfortunately, this is not a joke. The imam’s name is Mohsen Ngazou and he was born in Tunisia. As for the association, it is the Vigie de la Laïcité, whose chairman is the former socialist minister Jean-Louis Bianco, and given the circumstances in which it was founded, one can at least say that it should be particularly attentive to attempts at entrism. Jean-Louis Bianco and the personalities who have joined the Vigie denounce a “secular fundamentalism” that would “play into the hands of the extreme right” and place all Muslims and, through them, all people with an Arab and African migrant background, under suspicion.
Jean-Louis Bianco, less than a week after the dissolution, announced the creation of an association, the Vigie de la Laïcité, together with the former general rapporteur of the Observatory, Nicolas Cadène. The founding members of the new body include the sociologist and religious scholar Jean Baubérot, Radia Bakkouch, then president of the association Coexister , and Jean-Marc Schiappa, father of the minister Marlène Schiappa , who was pulling the strings at the time of the dissolution of the Observatory for Laïcité. The new organisation, which will soon celebrate its two-year anniversary, lacks for nothing.
We have not replaced the information centre,” says Jean-Louis Bianco. We have much fewer resources and, above all, we no longer have an interministerial coordination function.” The organisation has local branches in the departments of Hérault, Gironde, Vendée and Bouches-du-Rhône. They work with schools, the Ligue de l’enseignement and the local chapters of the Ligue des droits de l’homme. The Vendée branch is even mandated by the state to oversee the network of trainers of secularity officers.
However, the profile of the deputy treasurer of Vigie de la Laïcité 13 in the department of Bouches-du-Rhône holds some unpleasant surprises. Mohsen Ngazou is also an imam and head of the Collège-Lycée Ibn-Khaldoun in Marseille, which has had a contract with the state since 2015. An institution that is “impeccable in terms of respect for secularism”, explains a source in the rectorate. The mayor of Marseille, the socialist Benoît Payan, visited it on April 5, 2023.
Mohsen Ngazou has also been chairman of Musulmans de France since 2021, an organisation that has replaced the former Union of Islamic Organisations of France (UOIF) and is “in the Muslim Brotherhood movement”, as Mohsen Ngazou himself puts it in his blog. The Muslim Brotherhood’s goal has always been clear. Its long-term goal – which is completely incompatible with secularism – is the Islamisation of society and the application of Sharia law. Non-violent, to be sure, but uncompromising. Mohsen Ngazou has the merit of speaking plainly in this regard. In his blog, he calls the 2004 law banning ostentatious religious symbols in schools “abhorrent”.
On another page, he calls for “the ideals of our teachers to continue in the manner of a Tariq Ramadan”. In texts seen by Le Point, he cites as his absolute reference Imam Hassan el-Banna, who wrote the “50 Demands of the Muslim Brotherhood Programme” in 1936. These directives call for “prohibiting the mixing of male and female students”, treating any attempt at flirtation “as a punishable crime”, banning dancing and eradicating all Western influence in households.

Behind closed doors, the Ukrainian president becomes driven by aggressive instincts, which is in stark contrast to the calm, stoic statesman he plays in public – The Washington Post writes about this. The patina American paper came to this conclusion on the basis of US intelligence documents, the authenticity of which is not disputed by the Pentagon.
These are secret reports that have not been leaked before and spread on the Discord messaging platform. The Washington Post also got access to it from there.
The information now made public is part of a package of data known as the Pentagon Papers, which was shared on social media by 21-year-old Jack Teixeira.
What are the newly leaked US intelligence documents about the Ukrainian president?
It is clear from the secret documents that the leader of Ukraine would steer the course of the war in a dangerous direction, to put it mildly:
– made a proposal to occupy Russian villages in order to expand his influence near Moscow,
– wanted to achieve the bombing of a pipeline that delivers Russian oil to a NATO member state (we will return to this later – ed.),
– and acquire long-range missiles that could be used to attack targets within Russia’s internationally recognized borders.
Each point would clearly lead to an escalation of the already dramatic Russian-Ukrainian war. Zelenskyi’s plans are detailed in secret service materials that processed the Ukrainian president’s internal communications with his top aides and military leaders.
It’s a shame to beautify it: American spies wiretapped Zelenskyi, thus gaining access to rare insightful information.
What did Zelenskyi plan against Hungary?
The Washington Post also reported on a memo that was made in mid-February this year and recorded a meeting between Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Yulia Sviridenko and Zelensky. The Ukrainian president raised nothing less than that
Ukraine should blow up the Friendship pipeline that supplies Hungary with Russian crude oil.
“Zelensky stated that Ukraine should simply blow up the pipeline because it could destroy Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s industry, which is heavily based on Russian crude oil,” the American newspaper quoted the relevant document as saying.
At the same time, they added: when detailing the ominous conversation, the US intelligence officials emphasized that the Ukrainian president “expressed his anger towards Hungary and was therefore able to formulate exaggerated, senseless threats”.
The probability of this can be somewhat strengthened by the fact that this type of classification from American spies does not accompany the reports in which Zelensky proposes further bold military actions, so on this basis it can be classified as a truly unique outburst.
However, the picture is clouded by the fact that already last spring, the Ukrainian government threatened the Hungarian government that “anything can happen to the Friendship Pipeline” if it is not a partner in fully accepting the sanctions against Russia. In other words, it seems that the Ukrainian president’s words were not necessarily born of anger at the moment.
Plans for the UK to close its infamous child transgender clinic have been delayed by the country’s government, a report this week has suggested.
The Gender Identity Development Service (Gids) child transgenderism clinic located at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust in London will remain open until next year, a report on Thursday has claimed.
This is despite the UK government previously committing to shuttering the infamous clinic by the Summer of this year after numerous reports uncovered serious and systemic issues within the service, which frequently hands children believed to be experiencing “gender dysphoria” damaging puberty blockers.
According to a report by the BBC however, such plans to close the clinic — which was outright deemed to be “not safe” for children by a government-backed investigation — have been significantly delayed, with Gids now not set to close until March 2024.
What’s more, the delay has apparently been put in place in order to allow the establishment of two new regional clinics aimed at pushing transgender medical interventions for children, which is set to continue in the country for the foreseeable future.
A spokesman for the pro-trans charity Stonewall has said that the NGO is pleased by the delay in closing the unsafe service, with the official pressuring the UK to “provide further support” to the thousands of children scheduled to be seen by trans clinics in the country.
The government’s commitment to keeping the “not safe” child transgenderism clinic open until other clinics like it are in operation once again shows how ultimately pro-trans the ruling Conservative Party is, with any culture war-style resistance to the ideology they show often being both opportunistic and self-serving.
For instance, while the party has been openly critical of gender ideology in recent months, it has repeatedly pushed and passed legislation giving those who identify as “trans” protected status under UK law.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s government has even committed to making it a crime to try and convince someone they are not transgender under so-called anti-“conversion therapy” legislation, despite such a move being seen as potentially interfering with the freedom of speech and religion of those who hold trans-critical views.
The party also boasts Britain’s first-ever openly transgender MP, with parliamentarian Jamie Wallis coming out as trans last year after allegedly being raped and blackmailed after a “hook up” gone wrong.
Wallis went on to have his driver’s licence ripped up by the UK courts after he crashed his car in a single-vehicle collision, the court hearing that the elected male MP fled the scene while wearing a dress and heels.
Several members of the Toulouse soccer team, including Zakaria Aboukhlal, have asked not to take part in the Ligue 1 match against Nantes on Sunday May 14, as all Ligue 1 players wear rainbow jerseys to fight homophobia.
The road is still long. Initiatives to fight homophobia still do not meet the approval of all players in 2023. “Homosexual or heterosexual, we all wear the same jersey”. That is the message of unity, respect and tolerance that the professional football league wants to spread this weekend – and has been doing so for three seasons.
[…]
On Saturday evening, we can confirm that five players from the squad have informed their coach that they do not want to take part in the match in order not to be associated with the league initiative.
They are Zakaria Aboukhlal, Moussa Diarra, Farès Chaïbi, Logan Costa and Saïd Hamulic. The club hopes to convert some of them by matchday on Sunday. Aboukhlal and Hamulic are said to have given a clear refusal. On Saturday evening, Logan Costa denied to French newspaper L’Equipe that he had asked the club not to play the match. TFC did not reply to our enquiries.
Logan Costa, on the other hand, denied this to Le Parisien and stated that he was available for the game. The story is likely to be a talking point for a long time to come, as it has a potential magnitude that has never been seen before in a professional club.

American Thinker receives hundreds of promotional emails a week. Most swiftly head to the circular file. However, last week I received an email from a woman named Molly Koweek, promising that Luxxle, her employer’s search engine is truly revolutionary. Her email piqued my interest, so I did something I very rarely do: I set up a phone call. So far, it appears that she didn’t oversell anything; Luxxle really is something different, especially for those who are sick of seeing the major search engines ignore conservative content or give them such a low ranking that they essentially vanish. It’s still imperfect but it’s better than the alternatives.
As you can imagine, since I write posts every day, I frequently turn to search engines to help me track down information I know exists, so that I can provide a link to support my factual assertions. And every day, no matter the search engine I use, I run into the same problem: If I saw the facts on a conservative site, the search engines make it almost impossible to locate the source, and that’s true even if I include the site’s name in the search itself.
Instead, especially for controversial topics (COVID, Trump, J6, etc.), I get pages of content from the New York Times, Washington Post, ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, etc.. Sometimes, these sources have the fact I’m seeking but, usually, I have to wade through paragraphs of leftist agitprop to find the fact buried in a paragraph at the end of the article. I waste incredible amounts of time thanks to the search engines’ manifest bias and link to sites to which I’d rather not send traffic.
That’s why I got interested when Molly’s email said,
As you may be aware, traditional search engines typically exclude non-mainstream media sources, such as American Thinker, from their main algorithm of results. Even after searching for popular keywords like “Trump” or “Trump news” on Google, your content does not appear in any of the results.
At Luxxle, we believe that all publishers deserve a fair chance to be discovered, which is why we rank your content alongside the world’s biggest news outlets. Our platform is specifically designed to showcase high-quality content, like yours, front and center, so that readers can easily find and access it.
In addition, we have developed a powerful tool called Lenses that makes it even easier for users to find your content quickly. Our goal is to grow our user base and help quality publishers like American Thinker reach a wider audience.
Obviously, Molly was writing to us as a content provider, but I was intrigued by the promise that the search engine doesn’t do viewpoint discrimination.
After speaking with Molly it’s apparent that, while the site is still a work in progress, it’s progressing in the right direction. Also, along with more control over results, the search engine also respectes privacy. On the “about” page, Luxxle promises not to sell data and that its searches are encrypted. It has a mobile browser (which I haven’t tried) that blocks trackers, allowing private browsing.
Here’s what you see when you go to Luxxle:
I was immediately taken by how clean the page is. In a world of too much information, minimalism is attractive. But it’s not the look, it’s the functionality, that makes Luxxle different. Just look what happens if I punched in the phrase “Kamala Harris”:
The Luxxle feature is that “lenses” option at the top of the results. The first row says “Lean Left,” “All” (which is currently darker/highlighted), and “Lean Right.” The second row says “Algorithmically” (darkened/highlighted), “Alphabetically,” and “Freshness.” In other words, I can filter results by source and then, within that filter, I can view the results in different orders, depending on what’s useful to me. I can also filter out all MSM sources.
If I click “Lean Right” and “Freshness,” I no longer get CNN and the New York Times. Instead, the news comes from JustTheNews and Breitbart, and even The Gateway Pundit and Newsmax
I don’t advocate filtering out all leftist content (you need to know where your opponent stands), but this is a useful tool for finding conservative content that provides facts the leftists routinely ignore.
The site isn’t perfect. The filter didn’t work as well for the phrase “southern border.” This was my first result, and you can see that it doesn’t even offer the full “lenses” option at the top of the page, although it does include a Townhall article in the line-up:
To filter contents, I have to click on the “lenses” button higher on the page, below the search bar. Then, I get this global menu which, when saved, affects all future searches:
If I choose “Lean Right,” and screen out MSM and Wiki sources, I still get leftist content for the “southern border” search:
In other words, for some searches, I’m no worse off than I am at Bing, Google, or DuckDuckGo, and for other searches, I’m in much better shape. Given that there’s no seeming downside and only an upside for making the switch, I’ve set Luxxle as my default search engine.
