He lives amidst us. Influencer Ibrahim El-Azzazi, who is popular in Islamist circles, does not hide the fact that women and men are not equal for him. Salafist and online preacher Ibrahim El-Azzazi reaches countless young people in German-speaking countries via social media. In an interview with the tabloid ‘BILD’, he has now caused quite a stir. In it, he takes the brutal punishments of the Taliban regime in Afghanistan for granted. In other words: flogging women who violate the rules of Sharia (Islamic law) is a divine command, i.e. in the spirit of Allah. Stoning of homosexuals ( to death) – likewise.

Asked by ‘BILD’ whether women and men have equal rights, his clear answer is: ‘No’. And whether women should be allowed to live alone? Unimaginable. The highest maxim for the German citizen is: ‘Everything that is written in the Quran, I support.
El-Azzazi, who is being closely monitored by the German domestic intelligence service, also spreads the ‘Islamic rules’ in Germany via his social media channels. He says: ‘Germany doesn’t have a monopoly on always being right and always being perfect.’
When asked by ‘BILD’ whether the free and democratic basic order within Germany does not always take precedence, El-Azazzi asks back: ‘Is it the case that we have to consider the German basic order to be the best in the world?

At a time when the case of the American town of Springfield, Ohio—where the aggressive presence of migrants is said to have led to violence against animals—is fuelling the debate in the U.S. presidential election, a remarkably similar incident has been reported in France in the Pas-de-Calais region. Three hunters and a child, with their ducks, were attacked by around sixty migrants.
The incident occurred on the night of September 14-15. Three hunters and a 3-year-old child were stalking in a hut on the Côte d’Opale on the Channel coast when, at around 4 a.m., they were attacked by a gang of around sixty extremely violent migrants.
The migrants, prevented by the police from making the crossing to England, attacked the hunters with machetes and iron bars for raising the alarm. They smashed the windscreens of the hunters’ vehicles and stole their belongings. The hunters were carrying live duck decoys—used to attract wild ducks—which were savagely decapitated by the migrants.
Holed up in their hut, the hunters managed to resist the assault before being freed at dawn by gendarmes who had come as reinforcements. Fortunately, the little boy who accompanied the hunters does not seem to have realised what was happening.
Adrien, one of the hunters, spoke to Europe 1 on Friday, September 13th. He explained that he had alerted the police to the presence of these migrants to avoid further deaths at sea, which occur almost daily on this stretch of coast. This is what triggered the anger of the gang, who wanted to cross at all costs. He recounts how the assailants attacked the pet ducks of his brother: “They took the ducks out of the cages and tore their heads off in cold blood, it was a horrible sight.” Adrien has been receiving psychological counselling and medical treatment since the attack.
Willy Schraen, president of the French hunters’ federation, said he was very concerned about the increase in this type of attack. He said that around ten similar situations had occurred during the summer between Calais and Le Touquet. Schraen was pleased that the situation had not degenerated on the part of the hunters. “I’m proud of my hunters. They have to deal with very violent migrants who blow up their cars, ransack their huts and decapitate their ducks. They are under enormous pressure and fortunately don’t overreact, even though they have a gun in their hand,” he explained, after meeting the Prefect of Pas-de-Calais.
“When we see women, children and babies being sent to death in these boats, it’s our role to warn the police. When we prevent them from setting sail, the migrants inevitably turn on us,” he said indignantly. He called for firm measures to control migratory flows, before a tragedy occurs involving hunters or other people.
The Christmas lights in Berlin would cost around 700,000 euros for 2024. According to the authorities in the city hall, the broken left-green city has no money for this. Nevertheless, they are very much prepared to organise Ramadan lighting in 2025.
The Christmas lights in Berlin have been a popular highlight of the pre-Christmas period for decades and an important economic factor. However, funding of around 700,000 euros is on the line for this year. While in the past the city has continually cut funding and squandered it on any left-wing rubbish, the Senate has now cancelled all financial support. Proposals such as using part of the Berlin tax on beds (City Tax) to cover the costs were rejected from the outset and show that there is presumably no general will to do so.
At the same time, however, the Senate is seriously considering funding its own lighting for the Muslim fasting and fasting festival, Ramadan, next year. While there is insufficient support for the traditional Christmas lighting, which has been part of the cityscape for years, a new lighting initiative for Ramadan is being discussed in all seriousness. This idea is based on an example from Frankfurt am Main, where a street was illuminated during Ramadan – financed with around 75,000 euros of taxpayers’ money. Even if the Frankfurt installation was less costly, it is questionable why money for such lighting is being considered at all, while Christmas lighting is to be cancelled.
Christmas is not just a Christian tradition, but an important cultural event that revitalises the city and attracts tourists. It is difficult to understand why there should suddenly be no more money for Berlin’s decades-old Christmas tradition, while new projects are being launched for the Christmas lights of political ideology Islam.
The city should urgently rethink its priorities and strike a balance instead of neglecting established traditions and prioritising new projects whose benefits are questionable, according to one of the more moderate demands from social media.
The woman, who has her identity protected by court order, gave a moving statement in Sheffield Crown Court last weekGB NEWS/WIKICOMMONS
A Rotherham rape gangs survivor was ordered by a judge to remove a demand for her abusers to be deported in her courtroom victim impact statement, GB News can reveal.
The woman, who has her identity protected by court order, gave a moving statement in Sheffield Crown Court last week, over 20 years after she was groomed and abused from the age of 11.
Before she delivered her victim impact statement, the prosecuting counsel and the judge conferred over sections that had been removed.
Barrister Matthew Bean, acting for the crown, said “Whether they [the abusers] remain in this country or not” is up to the Home Office, and that “the decision should happen” regardless of what “the victim should say one way or another.”
The survivor was then called to the court and delivered a powerful speech from the witness stand next to the judge.
Addressing the defendants in the dock, she told them: “You ruined my life but I won’t let you ruin my future. I’m a fighter and a survivor. I’m thriving and fighting. You can’t and won’t ever take anything from me again.”
Closing her emotional statement, the survivor said: “22 years ago, you first started grooming me, and 10 years ago I started my justice fight.
“You stole my childhood, now I’m taking your freedom, I am your karma.”
The next day, the seven abusers were sentenced to a total of 106 years imprisonment.
GB News has seen the original copy of the speech that she intended to deliver, which has several sections crossed out due to restrictions ordered by the judge, who is granted sight of the statement before it is read out in court.
The censored conclusion reads: “I’d like to request that after sentencing and upon Rudy and Showabe’s release, that they should be deported back to Pakistan as this is where they originated from and came here to exploit children. Thank you.”
‘Rudy’ refers to Mohammed Amar, 42, convicted of two counts of indecent assault, he was sentenced to 14 years imprisonment, 2 years on extended licence.
‘Showabe’ refers to Mohammed Siyab, 49, convicted of two counts of rape, one count of sexual intercourse with a girl under 13 and one count of trafficking. He was sentenced to 25 years imprisonment, 12 months on licence.
Siyab required an Urdu interpreter in court.
The survivor told GB News that Britain is failing to deport foreign rape gang abusers.
“If someone’s not born here and they’re here to exploit children, after the sentences they should be deported.
“There’s nothing to say that they’ll stop exploiting children. We can deport them and let their own country deal with them.
“The Foreign Office should absolutely give Pakistan full punishment if they refuse to accept grooming gang rapists.”
She added: “Those men need to be deported or Pakistan should have its visas restricted.”
A Home Office spokesperson said: “It would be inappropriate to comment on ongoing legal proceedings.”
Under the UK Borders Act 2007, a deportation order must be made where a foreign national has been convicted of an offence and received a custodial sentence of 12 months or more.
In some cases, foreign nationals fight deportations due to ECHR claims.
In Rochdale, rape gangs ringleader Qari Abdul Rauf has had deportation delayed as Pakistan —where he has nationality — is understood to have refused to take him back.
The 2022 Nationality And Borders Act introduced a power to impose visa penalties on countries that do not cooperate on the removal of its nationals who do not have a right to be in the UK.
The power has yet to be used, reportedly due to opposition from civil servants in the Foreign Office.
Former safeguarding minister Laura Farris, the former Tory MP for Newbury, said earlier this year that it “sounds sensible” to impose visa sanctions on countries such as Pakistan that do not accept grooming gang offenders being deported to their country of origin.
Suella Braverman, former Home Secretary, said: “For too long, women have been let down by the justice system and the Grooming Gangs Scandal continues to be a national disgrace.
“Justice would be better served by speeding up the cases- many of which are over a decade old — and removing those offenders who are foreign — born back to their home countries immediately.”
Lee Anderson, the Reform MP for Ashfield, said: “For far too long these Pakistani grooming gangs have got away with grooming and raping young English girls whilst the police and social services have been very slow to act.
“It would now appear that even when these vile perverts are caught that our judicial system still puts the perpetrators before the victims. No ifs or buts, if they were born in a different country send them straight back.”
German Interior Minister Nancy Faeser and Kenyan’s Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi signing a migration agreement at the chancellery in Berlin, Friday, Sept. 13, 2024. Behind them are German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, right, and Kenyan President William Ruto. Screen grab youtube
The German media was abuzz throughout the weekend about the news that 250,000 Kenyans were headed to Germany to work as skilled or semi-skilled workers. With Brandenburg state elections a week away, and with immigration the number one topic as voters head to the polls, the news arguably could not have come at a worse time for the far-left government.
Now, there are panic denials coming from the government, with the interior ministry contradicting the claims. Kenyan President William Ruto was the one who first broke the news, telling Deutsche Welle that he had signed an agreement with Germany that would allow Germany to return illegal immigrants, and in exchange, Kenya would send skilled labor as migrants.
With the Alternative for Germany (AfD) fresh off huge electoral gains in Saxony and Thuringia, where it scored above 30 percent in each state, Brandenburg elections are a week away, with the ruling parties desperate to stave off another first-place finish from the AfD. Currently, the AfD leads the polls in the state by a significant margin. The SPD leader in that state, Hubert Dietmar Woidke, vows to resign if the AfD finishes on top.

The German interior ministry released a statement on X about the Kenyan agreement, stating: “This news is false. The migration agreement between Germany and Kenya does not contain any numbers or quotas of skilled workers from Kenya who could work in Germany. All applicants must meet the criteria of the Skilled Immigration Act.”
The original agreement did not put forth a specific number, with Chancellor Olaf Scholz simply stating it was a “win-win situation.” However, Ruto, in an interview with Deutsche Welle, shocked Germany with a figure of 250,000, which took to social media like a wave. Despite the denial, the news could further harm the government’s standing in the run-up to regional elections.
Since then, the figure of 250,000 has been deleted from the Deutsche Welle X channel, in what looks like an attempt at damage control. However, the figure is still available on their website.
The Kenyan government has not responded to the German government’s denial that 250,000 Kenyan migrants would be headed to Germany.
BREAKING:
Germany will accept 250,000 "skilled and semi-skilled Kenyan workers" in a new deal.
An article from the @USIP from this year states Kenya faces a massive crisis due to "deep corruption and unsustainable foreign debt," along with exploding violence. pic.twitter.com/Vzcne2OqFT
The other question remains what Kenya would get out of such agreement. If the workers are truly skilled, why would the Kenyan government give them up in exchange for rejected asylum applicants? In short, there are questions about the qualifications of the applicants. Kenya is rife with corruption, features incredible property, and its economy — while better than many other African countries — is still facing a crisis.
Currently, there are 15,000 Kenyans in Germany, and 818 are required to leave, according to the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees. In total, there are around 300,000 foreigners in Germany who are required to leave the country.
How seriously do German authorities really take the fight against radical Islam? This question inevitably arises when you consider the case in Hamburg, in which the medical doctor Dr Omar S. is suspected of having links to the extremist Hizb ut-Tahrir (HuT). This group is in favour of a ‘caliphate’, Sharia law and the rejection of all Western values such as freedom of expression and equal rights. Particularly explosive: Dr S. runs his practice in a socially deprived district with a high proportion of migrants, which makes the risk of radicalisation there particularly sensitive.
As reported by the newspaper Bild, S., who specialises in circumcisions according to Muslim rites, is said to be a secret cadre of the radical Islamic Hizb ut-Tahrir according to the Office for the Protection of the Constitution. This group, which was founded in 1953, has been banned in Germany since 2003, but it appears that suspected members can still work publicly as GPs. This makes it all the more astonishing that the red-green governed city of Hamburg operates S.’s practice on a municipal property and that the authorities would even have had a right of veto. Yet despite evidence and public statements by the doctor glorifying radical Islam, he was allowed to practise.
Back in 2020, S. made it clear his stance on Facebook: ‘We hope that Islam will soon replace the corrupt secular capitalist system as the world’s guiding principle.’ Such statements should have been reason enough to carry out an in-depth investigation into his activities and connections. But nothing happened.
The case clearly shows how inadequate the authorities’ approach is in the fight against radical Islam. While there is growing unease among the population about increasing radicalisation, no clear steps are being taken. The fact that S.’s practice will now not be reviewed until the end of 2024 casts a poor light on the ability of the responsible institutions to act. What is particularly worrying is that the practice is located in Steilshoop, a neighbourhood that is already characterised by social tensions and a high proportion of people with a migrant background. A GP who presumably also acts as a recruiter for extremist ideologies could gain dangerous influence in this neighbourhood.
In the Thuringian town of Gera, the serial offender Rasem A. from Syria tore a cross of Christ from the neck of a 79-year-old man in broad daylight. He later beat up several people. FOCUS online knows the criminal record of the migrant, who served several prison sentences.
On June 5, 2024, a brutal and unprecedented act of violence took place in the centre of the Thuringian city of Gera.
At around 12 noon, a 27-year-old refugee from Syria approached a German pensioner and ripped his necklace with a Christ cross from his neck. The symbol was a silver pendant worth around 250 euros. He then allegedly hit the 79-year-old victim in the face with his fist. The senior citizen suffered a bleeding wound.
According to FOCUS-online information, the alleged perpetrator Rasem A. acted completely unexpectedly. He did not shout anything either before or during the offence. An investigator told FOCUS online that it was a ‘lightning attack’.
According to the public prosecutor’s office in Gera, the motive for the offence is obviously ‘religious’. Senior public prosecutor Thomas Riebel told FOCUS online: ‘According to the statement by the accused, he saw a disregard for Christianity in the way the victim is said to have worn the cross.’Apparently, the Syrian was bothered by a second necklace that the pensioner was wearing around his neck and felt that it had affected his religious beliefs. The immigrant, who came to Germany in 2015, did not provide any further details.
After the act of violence, police officers briefly arrested the Syrian near the scene of the crime and took him to court for a custody examination. There, however, Rasem A. was released again. According to the police, detention was not possible ‘due to a lack of legal requirements’.
However, the thug was known to the police and the judiciary and had several previous convictions; he is considered a serial offender. FOCUS online exclusively publishes Rasem A.’s criminal file:
2017, Gera Regional Court, multiple offences of grievous bodily harm, two years and six months juvenile sentence. 2019, Gera District Court, offence against the Narcotics Act and other offences, two years and nine months’ imprisonment, to be served in full. 2022, Gera Local Court, offence against the Narcotics Act and multiple assaults, one year prison sentence, to be served in full. This list alone reveals that the migrant is prone to serious acts of violence and is not deterred even by coercive state measures.
The – apparently legally correct – decision not to remand him in custody after the brutal attack on the pensioner on on 5th of June proved to be fatal in retrospect. Just two days later, the 27-year-old struck again in Gera city centre.
At short intervals and independently of each other, Rasem A. beat up nine victims, some of them pensioners.
‘Among other things, he punched a man in the face, causing him to suffer a brain haemorrhage and a stroke. He was admitted to hospital,’ Thomas Riebel told FOCUS online. Some of the other victims also suffered serious injuries. When police officers tried to arrest the perpetrator, he was unruly.
Nevertheless, this time a magistrate sent Rasem A. to a prison.
The Syrian is now in a psychiatric facility where he is ‘provisionally accommodated’, as Thomas Riebel from the Gera public prosecutor’s office told FOCUS online on Monday. It is said to be the Stadtroda Specialist Clinic.
In addition, his office had prepared a petition in the precautionary proceedings, which was submitted to the Gera Regional Court at the end of August 2024. It is to be examined whether the man should be permanently placed in a psychiatric hospital.
‘The defendant is accused of 15 counts of intentional bodily harm in the petition,’ explained the senior public prosecutor. ‘Of these, one case involves an assault on law enforcement officers, one case involves robbery and one case involves attempted robbery and extortion in combination with grievous bodily harm in combination with damage to property’.
Riebel did not want to give any details about the Syrian’s medical condition ‘due to the protection of his privacy’. ‘A brief forensic psychiatric report was initially prepared. The final report is still pending.’
It is currently not known whether the Gera immigration authorities have attempted to deport the serial criminal to his home country of Syria.
The Syrian’s defence lawyer, Udo Freier from Greiz, did not want to comment on the case to FOCUS online. ‘We would first like to wait for the full expert report on my client’s state of health,’ said the lawyer on Monday.

On September 16, the Greek Orthodox Church celebrates the Feast Day of St Euphemia the Great Martyr.
The Holy Great Martyr Euphemia the All-Praised was the daughter of Christians, the senator Philophronos and Theodosia.
She suffered for Christ in the year 304 A.D. in the city of Chalcedon, on the banks of the Bosphorus opposite Constantinople.
The Chalcedon governor Priscus circulated an order to all the inhabitants of Chalcedon and it surroundings to appear at a pagan festival to worship and offer sacrifice to an idol of Ares, threatening grave torments for anyone who failed to appear. During the impious pagan festival, 49 Christians were hidden in one house, where they secretly attended services to the True God.
The young maiden Euphemia was also among those praying there. Soon the hiding place of the Christians was discovered, and they were brought before Priscus to answer for themselves. For nineteen days the martyrs were subjected to various tortures and torments, but none of them wavered in their Christian faith nor consented to offer sacrifice to the idol. The governor, beside himself with rage and not knowing any other way of forcing the Christians to abandon their faith, sent them for trial to the Roman Emperor Diocletian. He kept the youngest, the virgin Euphemia, hoping that she would not remain strong if she were all alone.
Saint Euphemia, separated from her brethren in faith, fervently prayed the Lord Jesus Christ, that He strengthen her in her impending ordeal. Priscus at first urged the Saint to recant, promising her earthly blessings, but then he gave the order to torture her.
The Holy Martyr was tied to a wheel with sharp knives, which cut her body. The Saint prayed aloud, and as it happened, the wheel stopped by itself and would not move even with all the efforts of the executioners. An Angel of the Lord, came down from Heaven, removed Euphemia from the wheel and healed her of her wounds. The Saint gave thanks unto the Lord with gladness.
Not perceiving the miracle that had occurred, the torturer ordered the soldiers Victor and Sosthenes to take the Saint to a read-hot over. But the soldiers, seeing two fearsome Angels in the midst of the flames, refused to carry out the order of the governor and became believers in the God Whom Euphemia worshipped. Boldly proclaiming that they too were Christians, Victor and Sosthenes bravely went to suffering. They were sent to be eaten by wild beasts. During their execution, they cried out for mercy to God, asking that the Lord would receive them into the Heavenly Kingdom. A heavenly Voice answered their cries, and they entered into eternal life. The beasts, however, did not even touch their bodies.
Saint Euphemia, cast into the fire by other soldiers, remained unharmed. With the help of God she emerged unharmed after many other tortures and torments. Ascribing this to sorcery, the governor gave orders to dig out a new pit, and filling it with knives, he had it covered over with earth and grass, so that the martyr would not notice the preparation for her execution.
Here also Saint Euphemia remained safe, easily passing over the pit. Finally, they sentenced her to be devoured by wild beasts at the circus. Before execution the Saint began to implore that the Lord deem her worthy to die a violent death. But none of the beasts, set loose at her in the arena, attacked her. Finally, one of the she-bears gave her a small wound on the leg, from which came blood, and immediately the holy Great Martyr Euphemia died. During this time there was an earthquake, and both the guards and the spectators ran in terror, so that the parents of the Saint were able to take up her body and reverently bury it not far from Chalcedon.
A majestic church was afterwards built over the grave of the Great Martyr Euphemia. At this temple the sessions of the Fourth Ecumenical Council took place in the year 451 A.D. At that time, the Holy Great Martyr Euphemia confirmed the Orthodox confession in a miraculous manner, and exposed the Monophysite heresy.
With the taking of Chalcedon by the Persians in the year 617 A.D., the holy relics of the Holy Great Martyr Euphemia were transferred to Constantinople (in about the year 620).
During the Iconoclast heresy, the relics of Saint Euphemia appears to have thrown into the sea. Pious sailors recovered them. They were afterwards taken to the Island of Lemnos, and in the year 796 A.D. they were returned to Constantinople.
German left-wing Interior Minister Nancy Faeser is intent on cracking down on what she describes as “fake news,” and has set up a citizens’ forum that has recommended punishing individuals who spread “disinformation.”
The initiative to silence free speech in the name of preventing “disinformation” seems more like the work of an authoritarian regime than a democratic government—but seeing how the left-liberal ‘traffic light’ coalition of Germany has attempted to silence opposition journalists and rewarded media outlets that have spread fake news, the new proposals should come as no surprise.
The so-called “Forum against Fakes—Together for a Strong Democracy” project was set up by the interior ministry to develop recommendations on how to deal with “disinformation.” According to the ministry’s website, around 424,000 people submitted their ideas to the project online.
The final report was handed over to Nancy Faeser on Thursday, September 12th. One of the most startling recommendations, writes news website Apollo News, supported by 91% of the so-called Citizens’ Assembly, is to examine how the “spread of disinformation” could be prosecuted or sanctioned. According to the report, handing out punishments would discourage others from disseminating false news.
Disinformation on the internet is a threat to democracy, as it can undermine citizens’ trust in politics, public discourse and state institutions.
It does not, however, elaborate on what constitutes “disinformation,” which means anyone whose political opinions are frowned upon by the liberal political establishment could become the target of the police and the law. As Apollo News observes:
If the plans were to be implemented, there would de facto be a kind of truth authority that decides what is right and what is wrong.
If such a law were to be enacted, it is questionable how it could be implemented in accordance with the freedom of expression enshrined in the German constitution.
Nancy Faeser said her ministry would “analyse the recommendations and examine the extent to which they can be incorporated into the ministry’s further work in this area.”
The minister warned that
when it comes to measures against disinformation, it is about nothing less than protecting our democracy. Foreign states, especially Russia, are using disinformation and propaganda to undermine the public’s trust in our democratic system and its institutions. Thousands of false reports, manipulated images and misleading clips can be found online.
Faeser also said freedom of speech is of “high value” to the constitution, and that she “would never interfere” with it—an interesting choice of words from the minister who tried and failed to ban the right-wing Compact magazine for “inciting hatred” and “aggressively propagating the toppling of the political order”; i.e., harbouring views critical of the government.
On the other hand, the state, through its various ministries and agencies, funds the left-wing Correctiv website, even though it has proven to actually spread false information about the opposition anti-globalist Alternative für Deutschland party. All these actions only undermine the credibility of government claims to protect freedom of speech.
