Britain’s defense attache to the U.S., Rear Adm. Tim Woods, released a statement on X: “From leadership over Afghanistan, expansion of @NATO, to the creation of AUKUS, our nation has been truly fortunate in these turbulent & uncertain times to have the confidence of America’s leading military figure.”
If Milley is America’s leading military figure, stick a fork in us, for we are done.
Aside from his catastrophic “leadership over Afghanistan,” Milley is best known for politicizing the military on behalf of the Democratic Party. Assuming Bob Woodward’s reporting to be accurate, Milley committed treason during the Trump Administration in collusion with communist China. He espouses antiwhite race hate and regards a large percentage of the US population to consist of enemies of the government.
Other pernicious American moonbats to receive knighthood include Bob Iger (CEO of the LGBT grooming operation that is Disney) and Michael Bloomberg (nanny state plutocrat, propagandist, and crusader against the right of self-defense).
Knighthood has become as disgraceful as the Nobel Peace Prize, which moonbats have bestowed upon a rogue’s gallery of reprobates including the terrorist Yasser Arafat, global warming scam artist Al Gore, and two of the three worst US presidents in living memory (hold on Creepy Joe; if Carter and Obama got one, you probably will too).
Clothing with IS symbols and violent videos are also seen as evidence of links to IS.photo by the Vienna Police Department
The youthful “protection money gang” was heavily armed. They terrorised their victims with arson attacks, serious extortion and robberies. The main suspect is Bosnian (17). The police found photos of the suspects with IS flags and IS videos on their mobile phones. They wanted to “make jihad”, says one member. Attacks, building a bomb, arson attacks with Molotov cocktails, a list of torture victims, as well as committing terrorist attacks with Kalashnikovs, knives and machetes: The “protection money gang” caused fright and terror in the Meidling district of Vienna. Numerous attacks took place within a very short time and led to many arrests. Now there are increasing indications of a radical Islamic background. The headquarters of the youth gang is said to have been located in a mosque in Meidling.
The attack with a Molotov cocktail was filmed by the surveillance cameras of the shop concerned. “Photo by the Vienna Police Department
The main suspect is a Bosnian (17) with links to the radical Islamic scene, according to reports. He and nine other suspects aged between 14 and 21 are accused of several serious crimes in an indictment. The list ranges from forming a criminal organisation, robbery, aggravated arson, grievous bodily harm, damage to property, aggravated robbery and aggravated extortion to numerous violations of the Weapons Act, reports the newspaper “heute”.
One of the blackmail letters also contained a cartridge for an assault rifle. “Photo of the Vienna Police Department
Videos of the terrorist organisation Islamic State (IS) were found on the mobile phones of some members of the gang. One suspect stated that some of his accomplices sympathised with IS and claimed that they wanted to ” make jihad”. The Vienna juvenile court authorities suspect “possible advanced religious-Islamist radicalisation” in three of the suspects. Two of the boys even posed for photos with weapons in front of an IS flag. The judiciary released two of the suspects after just ten days. The investigations and the reactions of the authorities remain a critical point in the public debate.
Three men were stabbed, one of them was seriously injured. A large contingent of police was deployed to break up the altercation.
It was shortly before 10 pm on Friday evening when the police had to intervene because of a brawl between around 30 people outside one of the mosques in the community, which is attended by the Turkish community.
Three participants in the brawl suffered injuries after being stabbed. Two men aged 21 were taken to Gonesse hospital with minor injuries. A 23-year-old man was hit more severely in the back and a lung perforation was suspected. He was treated by the emergency services and transported to La Pitié-Salpêtrière hospital as a matter of urgency, but with no life-threatening prognosis.
The victims reported that there had been an argument on the mosque grounds between two groups from the Turkish community who had taken to the street to settle their differences. An argument, possibly due to someone having frown at somebody escalated and led to a brawl involving around 30 people, one of whom used a knife. The victims did not want to press charges or give any information about the identity of the attacker, who fled.
The police were on the scene with a large contingent and secured the hospital in Gonesse to prevent further clashes while the victims were being treated. Le Parisien
Another alarming incident has taken place in South Tyrol’s provincial capital. A 24-year-old Iraqi man entered a supermarket and threatened the manager of the shop. Bolzano’s new police commissioner did not hesitate for long and revoked the foreigner’s residence permit without further ado.
The whole incident took place late on Thursday afternoon. The police in Bolzano were called to a Eurospar supermarket by emergency services. The emergency services were deployed immediately and were able to locate the Iraqi man in the supermarket who had committed a robbery in the same shop three days earlier and made threats.
According to the Bolzano police, the manager of the supermarket told them that the Iraqi had threatened her with death a few minutes earlier and said several times: “In my country you would already be dead.” According to information, the foreigner tried to play down the incident. The 24-year-old was charged with menacing behaviour. The quaestor of the province of Bolzano, Paolo Sartori, revoked the Iraqi’s residence permit as a result of the incident.
Every year, migrants and refugees transfer billions of euros from Germany to family members in their home countries, with the Bundesbank estimating this to be at least €6.8 billion per year.
Now, some German political parties want to crack down on this development, with the anti-immigration Alternative for Germany (AfD) seeking to “reduce poverty migration to zero” with restrictions on cash payments and social benefits.
Some of the money sent abroad is earned from work, but a substantial amount is likely from social welfare payments transferred to migrants, who then send it out of the country to support their families across the world. Since many of these social welfare benefits are distributed as cash, there is little oversight in how this money is used and transferred by migrants.
These foreigners have a substantial incentive to send this money overseas, where due to exchange rates and different standards of living, the euro can go far further than it can in Germany. However, these social welfare payments were never designed to be sent overseas, and are meant to provide the necessary support for migrants within Germany.
The debate on these remittances is only growing, with pro-migration parties working to stop efforts to disburse social welfare through electronic cards rather than cash. There is an awareness that if migrants stop receiving this money in cash, it may even serve as an incentive to leave the country. Not only would cash remittances become far more difficult, but prostitutes, drugs, and alcohol could also face restrictions.
However, so-called vices such as alcohol and cigarettes may still be freely available with the new bank cards for migrants, with the Alternative for Germany (AfD) working to enact restrictions on certain products.
“Established politics is once again misleading the German public. The goal of all reforms of asylum seeker benefits must be to reduce poverty migration to Germany to zero. To achieve this, all false incentives must be eliminated immediately. This is not feasible with a payment card for asylum seekers that continues to provide cash benefits and does not even exclude things like alcohol or cigarettes,” said AfD parliamentary group spokesperson, René Springer.
“We need a strict principle of benefits in kind for asylum seekers — bread, bed, and soap. There should be nothing more. Only then can we really assume that people who ask for asylum here are actually seeking protection. Asylum is only intended for this purpose and not as an access portal to German social benefits,” he continued.
It is not just the AfD working to abolish cash benefits. Free Democrats (FDP) parliamentary group leader Christian Dürr said these cash benefits have been a “real pull factor. A lot of money was then sent home. We don’t want that.”
However, other pro-migrant politicians such as the Green Party’s Erik Marquardt claim that migrants sending this tax money home is actually a good thing, saying that it is an “important part of development cooperation.” The argument is that these migrants are helping their families out of poverty.
German citizens, who pay high taxes and are already dealing with housing and food inflation, however, might see it differently. The government spent €36 billion on its swelling migrant population last year, and this figure is only set to increase in 2024. As Germany spirals into debt, a major factor is the country’s migrant population, which often struggles to find work, and ends up being a ward of the state for years.
For example, according to German newspaper Welt, only 200,000 of the 800,000 Syrians in the country, are actually employed to the extent that they make social security contributions. That is not even close to half. Half are unemployed, while many are unemployed and still require social benefits.
The Bundesbank estimates that 6.8 billion was transferred abroad in 2023, with €834 million of that, for example, sent to Turkey, while Syria (€360 million), Afghanistan (€139 million) or Iraq (€109 million) all saw significant inflows.
However, these are only estimates, as only transfers over €12,500 are subject to reporting, and the true number may be significantly higher.
New Zealand Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters called on Canada to substantiate the lack of evidence provided so far on a “potential” Indian link in the killing of Canada-based Khalistan separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
Although Canada shared intelligence on India’s alleged role in Nijjar’s killing with its Five-Eyes intelligence allies – New Zealand, the US, the UK and Australia, the South Pacific country cited a lack of evidence in the claims made by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Peters, who visited India from March 10-13 and is also his country’s foreign minister, said: “As a trained lawyer, I look okay, so where’s the case? Where’s the evidence? Where’s the finding right here, right now? Well, there isn’t one”.
Nijjar was killed as he came out of a Gurdwara in Surrey, British Columbia on the evening of June 18, 2023 and Trudeau was quick to blame India for the killing. However, almost nine months later, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) has yet to name suspects or make arrests in relation to Nijjar’s killing.
The pro-Khalistan leader’s death sparked a massive diplomatic row between India and Canada. Trudeau accused India of killing Nijjar on its soil, but India rejected the allegations, calling them “absurd and motivated,” especially as Canada has not been able to present any evidence to back its claims over the killing.
Meanwhile, New Zealand’s coalition government has prioritised enhancing relations with India to generate future benefits for both sides.
“It is clear that New Zealand and India share common strategic perspectives about the security challenges our Indo-Pacific region faces as well as a commitment to do more together to meet them,” Peters said.
“New Zealand and India are two countries that can, should and will be doing more together,” he said, adding that his visit demonstrated a joint commitment to investing more in building a broad-based, mutually beneficial relationship.
A Tory councillor has hit out at the state of London amid a crackdown on Palestinian flags in Tower Hamlets.
Complaints prompted Tower Hamlets Council to take flags off buildings amid fears they are causing “distress”.
Tory councillor Peter Golds told GB News that “people from across the borough” have been getting in touch attempting to rid the area of its flags, whether they are pro-Palestine are not.
“It’s made not just my constituents nervous, but people have been getting in touch from across the borough”, he said.
“It’s a complete rank of people including people who are from the Bangladesh and Muslim community who support the endeavours of Gaza and are hostile to the actions of the Israeli Government.
“They feel they shouldn’t have these flags on streets.
“I have walked down some of these streets, it doesn’t look like a London Borough, it looks like Ceausescu’s Romania!”
He aded: “We have extremes of deprivation and huge problems on the council.”
“We said in council meetings, we cannot interfere with foreign policy, but were have a lot to do on national and local policy. Let’s focus on that.
“That is what the council is trying to do.”
The mayor of Tower Hamlets, Lutfur Rahman, announced the “difficult decision” to take the flags down this week.
He claimed they are “being used to unfairly attack the people of the borough and further the Islamophobic narrative”.
The council had initially sought to avoid “destabilising community cohesion” by keeping the flags up.
He denied the flags were “symbols of division” but instead “symbols of solidarity and sympathy” with the thousands being killed in Gaza.

India slams Pakistan’s resolution on Islamaphobia, calls out narrow scope, demands need to acknowledge religiophobia beyond Abrahamic faiths (Image Source – X/@IndiaUNNewYork)
During the UN General Assembly session, India categorically asserted that it is time for the UN body to acknowledge the prevalence of religiophobia beyond Abrahamic faiths. India also, in principle, opposed the creation of the post of a special UN envoy for Islamophobia asserting that it would “potentially divide the UN into religious camps”. Further, the Indian Permanent Ambassador to the UN, Ruchira Kamboj also launched a scathing attack against her Pakistani counterpart, slamming him for making references to the Ram Mandir and Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).

Notably, India abstained from voting on a resolution titled ‘Measures to combat Islamophobia’ which was introduced by Pakistan. The resolution was however passed with 115 votes in favour and none against, with 44 countries choosing to abstain. The general assembly called upon Member States to take all necessary measures — including legislative and policy steps — to combat hatred and violence against Muslims. It also requested the Secretary-General to appoint a United Nations Special Envoy to combat Islamophobia.
Explaining India’s stance over religiophobia, Kamboj diplomatically criticised the resolution for its narrow scope and failure to address the growing intolerance against non-Abrahamic faiths.
Kamboj said, “India stands against all forms of religiophobia, be it anti-Semitism, Christianophobia, or Islamophobia, as we stand against all anti-Hindu, anti-Buddhist, and anti-Sikh sentiments.”
Pointing out rising hate against non-Abrahamic faiths, she stressed, “In our world today, we are confronted with escalating geopolitical tensions and unequal developments resulting in a concerning rise in intolerance, discrimination, and violence based on religion or belief.” “India, as a proud champion of pluralism, firmly upholds the principle of equal protection and promotion of all religions and all faiths,” she added.
She added that India provides a sanctuary free from persecution or discrimination to Zoroastrians, Buddhists, Jews, and adherents of any other belief, highlighting India’s ardent belief in ‘Sarva Dharma Sama Bhava’.
She said, “At the heart of this ethos is our principle of Sarva Dharma Sama Bhava, encapsulating Indian secularism and affirming the inherent goodness of all religions, each deserving of equal respect.”
This principle isn’t merely a facet of our culture, it is firmly enshrined within the constitution of India, Kamboj added.
Clear evidence that followers of non-Abrahamic religions have also been affected by religiophobia
She further strongly condemned the acts motivated by antisemitism, Christianophobia, or Islamophobia.
She added, “It is therefore with deep concern, that we observe the growing manifestation of intolerance, discrimination, and violence against followers of various religions. We condemn all acts motivated by antisemitism, Christianophobia, or Islamophobia.”
She, however, emphasised that it is crucial to acknowledge that such phobias extend beyond the Abrahamic religions. Notably, the term Abrahamic faiths is a category to group the three major religions namely Judaism, Christianity, and Islam together.
The top Indian diplomat at the UN added, “Clear evidence shows that over decades, followers of non-Abrahamic religions have also been affected by religiophobia. This has led to the emergence of contemporary forms of religiophobia, particularly anti-Islam, anti-Buddhist, and anti-Sikh elements.”
Highlighting the increasing attacks on religious places of worship, Kamboj said that these contemporary forms of religiophobia are evident through such attacks on gurudwaras, monasteries, and temples, as well as the spreading of hatred and disinformation against non-Abrahamic religions in many countries.
She further stated, “The destruction of the Bamiyan Buddhas, violations of Gurudwara premises, massacres of Sikh pilgrims in Gurudwaras, attacks on temples, and the glorification of breaking idols in temples, all contribute to the rise of contemporary forms of religiophobia against nonabrahamic religions.”
Hinduism, with over 1.2 billion followers, Buddhism, with more than 535 million and Sikhism, with over 30 million followers worldwide, are all subject to religiophobia, Kamboj pointed out before the UNGA.
Pressing on the UN body, she asserted, “It is time that we acknowledge the prevalence of religiophobia rather than just single out one.”
She urged, “I would ask all member states to consider the broader scope of religious discrimination that persists globally.”
While the issue of Islamophobia is undoubtedly significant, however, other religions are also facing discrimination and violence.
Acknowledge religiophobia beyond Abrahamic faiths, India opposes ‘special envoy’ based on a ‘special religion
Kamboj further said that allocating resources solely to combat Islamophobia while neglecting similar challenges faced by other faiths, might inadvertently perpetuate a sense of exclusion and inequality.
Moreover, these substantial budgetary implications of establishing such a position prompt us to pause and reflect on whether this is the most effective use of resources.
Regarding the appointment of a United Nations Special Envoy to combat Islamophobia, Kamboj said, “We are in principle opposed to the creation of the post of a special envoy based on a special religion.”
She stressed, “We trust that the resolution adopted today does not establish a precedent that could result in numerous resolutions centred on phobias tied to specific religions, potentially dividing the United Nations into religious camps.”
Kamboj emphasised the need for the United Nations to maintain its stance above such religious concerns adding that such a resolution would have the potential to fragment the UN body rather than unite the members under the banner of peace and harmony, embracing the world as one global family.
Following her explanation, India abstained from voting on the resolution on Measures to combat Islamophobia. It was introduced by Munir Akram, Permanent Representative of Pakistan to the United Nations during the 62nd plenary meeting of the General Assembly on the Culture of peace.
India slams Pakistan for its “broken record”
In her concluding remarks, Kamboj also lambasted Pakistan for ranting against India and making needless references to consecration at the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya and the implementation of CAA.
She said, “One final point concerns a delegation (and its remarks) that, much like a broken record, remains sadly stagnant while the world progresses.”
Kamboj added, “It is unfortunate indeed to witness this delegation’s (Pakistan) limited and misguided perspective on matters relating to my country, the more so, when the General Assembly considers a matter that demands wisdom, depth, and a global outlook from the entire membership – perhaps not the forte of this delegation.”
In Germany, there is clan crime among its migrants.
So what is it?
It began with large number of migrants from Lebanon in the 1980s.
Although many say it is not a problem, the numbers tell a different story.
Many clans came from the Turkish area around the ancient city of Mardin in southeastern Turkey near the Syrian border, and belong to the Arabic-speaking Mhallami tribal ethnic group. Turkey under the Byzantines and Ottomans and even under the rulers that followed was always tyrannical so was no social advancement and no prosperity.
In the 1940s, economic-related migration began, first to Lebanon, but there was no social and economic integration there, either.
The Mhallami lived in the slums and ghettos around Beirut, even though they had work permits, were openly rejected by the majority society and became objects of intense state repression. So many began to emigrate from there, too, often to Germany.
The emergence of the phenomenon of clan crime in Germany dates back to the 1980s: As a result of the Lebanese civil war, stateless Arab and Palestinian families also emigrated to Germany.
Since they were initially denied access to the labor market and their children were not required to attend school, this encouraged the emergence of parallel societies and their delinquency.
Parts of the large families turned to illegal activities in order to raise their standard of living. The clans‘ areas of activity include drug-trafficking, prostitution, protection rackets, illegal gambling, fraud, robberies, burglaries and thefts.
Since the refugee crisis in Germany in 2015/2016, clans began to recruit refugees from the Syrian civil war and from Iraq to sell drugs to customers, according to reports in the press, citing a German police leader.
In some districts, clans terrorize neighborhoods and entire streets. In 2020, journalists Thomas Heise and Claas Meyer-Heuer wrote” “They have now become a real threat to German civil society.”
Large criminal families settle primarily in metropolitan areas. Berlin is considered particularly affected, where the police believe there are 15 to 20 corresponding clan groups, including the well-known Abou Chaker clan and the Rammo or Remmo(s).
In the capital, at least a fifth of organized crime is attributed to clan structures.
The focal points of clan crime in Germany are North Rhine-Westphalia, Lower Saxony and the city states of Berlin (clan crime in Berlin) and Bremen. Many perpetrators belong to a clan or large family that originally comes from Asia Minor and the Arab World.
In German-speaking countries, as of 2018, members of the Abou Chaker clan, the Miri clan, the Remmo clan and the Al-Zein extended family, among others, have become criminally conspicuous.
In North Rhine-Westphalia, the phenomenon is particularly widespread in the Ruhr area and in cities such as Duisburg, Essen, Dortmund and Gelsenkirchen.
There are 13 cities in Lower Saxony where members of large families are known to have been settled.
As of 2015, clan crime was less pronounced in Baden-Württemberg, Saxony, Hamburg and Saarland, and the protagonists mostly do not come from the Arab region, but from the Balkans or Eastern Europe. The information about the federal states in which clan activities have already become known sometimes contradict each other. As of December 2015, there are apparently no known incidents of clan crime in conservative Bavaria in the south, or in Schleswig-Holstein in the far north, or in the eastern German states of Brandenburg,
A large Syrian family has been living in Saxony-Anhalt since 2002 and is based in the city of Naumburg and operates several shisha bars there. The family made national headlines in 2017 after family members of the Syrian clan stormed a Naumburg police station and threatened police officers and their family members with death. The Al-Zein clan and the Ali Khan family and the Fakhro clan are also criminally active in some places in Sweden, such as Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö.
Time will tell in Germany as to whether debate can be open about this criminal phenomenon, but in the end it has to be if it is to get solved. Above all, the voters need to do something about it.
