Serbia’s parliamentary opposition forces tossed smoke grenades and tear gas inside the chamber on Tuesday, creating scenes the likes of which are rarely seen in European politics.

One member of the governing right-wing sovereigntist Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) was hospitalised following a stroke amid the chaos, which came after the Green-Left Front (ZLF) claimed “an exiting government cannot propose laws.” Two other SNS members were injured during the fracas, including a pregnant woman.
One ZLF official later said that they had acted—and, by extension, had seriously injured their opponents—“with pride.” As well as throwing grenades and eggs, opposition members held up a sign for the world to see, reading:
Serbia rises up to bring down the regime.
This disorder followed months of unrest, which has seen students protesting against the government after the collapse of a recently renovated railway station canopy in Novi Sad in November, killing 15 people.
Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán described the scenes as the latest example of “globalist-liberal forces” attempting to destabilise a sovereign nation, and warned that these are pursuing Slovakia and Hungary, too.
After losing Washington to the patriots, globalist-liberal forces retreated to Brussels, and set their sights on Serbia, Slovakia, and Hungary. Today's chaos in the Serbian Parliament – smoke bombs, violence, and obstruction – shows how far they’re willing to go to destabilise… pic.twitter.com/krL49UvG54
A migrant from Mauritania is on trial in France this week for stabbing a female co-worker 17 times with a butcher’s knife after being incessantly sexually harassed by the suspect. The charge is attempted murder.
The accused, who is now 50, has been identified as Boulaye M. He is facing life in prison.
The incident took place on June 7, 2020 at a Primark clothing outlet in a shopping center in Serris, a commune in north-central France.
Boulaye and a female colleague, identified only as Isabel, were employed by the same cleaning service at the time and had been working together for several years. Isabel, who is around the age of 40, claims that he had been harassing her and making unwanted advances toward her for some time. She is married and is also a mother, so she had no interest in him. Nevertheless, Boulaye continually called her and sent her text messages, and also propositioned her at work.
While Isabel refused his offers, she was always polite. Friends of hers have described her as helpful and kind. She remained unconcerned since, while Boulaye was often very insistent, he never seemed threatening.
This all changed on the morning of June 7, 2020. Isabel attempted to avoid Boulaye, but they eventually found themselves together in a storage room at the end of a corridor of the Primark shop where they were working. Boulaye took out a butcher’s knife with a 20-centimeter blade (approximately eight inches) and stabbed Isabel several times in the stomach, causing her to immediately fall to the ground. The migrant continued to repeatedly stab her, screaming that she was about to die.
Luck was with Isabel that day because another one of their colleagues unexpectedly entered the room at that moment and caught Boulaye in the act. Caught red-handed, the would-be murderer calmly walked out of the room without saying a word and then fled the scene. The shop’s other employees were horrified to find Isabel lying in a pool of her own blood on the floor.
Police reports say that she was stabbed 17 times, both in the abdomen as well as on her forearms.
Isabel was rushed to the hospital and managed to survive, although she will never be the same person she was before the attack. She was declared unfit to work due to the long-term effects of her injuries.
Police found the bloody knife that was used in the attack in a trashcan on the street a short distance from the shop. A manhunt began for Boulaye, and officers finally located him in Paris six days later, staying at a hotel that he frequented.
Boulaye M. is standing trial this week at the Seine-et-Marne Assize criminal court in Melun. This court is the only one in France that offers jury trials. Boulaye was charged with attempted premeditated voluntary manslaughter after investigators discovered that he had purchased the butcher’s knife used in the attack the very same morning.
Residents of a Dutch village have launched a fundraiser in support of a 51-year-old local man convicted of assaulting an Algerian asylum seeker during an attempted citizen’s arrest.
Locals of Nieuw-Weerdinge in the province of Drenthe initiated the online campaign after the man was sentenced by a court in Assen to 80 hours of community service and ordered to pay €400 in compensation.
He was found to have confronted an Algerian national for allegedly stealing €40 from a delivery van in a case dating back to October 2023. With no police officers in sight, the local man tripped the asylum seeker, causing him to hit his head. He subsequently detained the suspected thief on a bench until the arrival of law enforcement.
Several other bystanders then intervened, kicking the suspect multiple times and resulting in his hospitalization.
The court ruled that the 51-year-old man’s actions contributed to the group violence.
The fundraising campaign was initiated by members of a neighborhood watch app, according to resident and participant Jans Sassen.
“The app was created by concerned residents,” he stated, explaining that its members monitor asylum seekers passing through Nieuw-Weerdinge between Emmen and the asylum seekers’ center in Ter Apel. “We observe whether they are simply passing through or showing undue interest in certain areas,” he added.
The group wants to raise €13,000 to cover any existing and potential future legal costs.
As reported by RTV, residents have expressed concern for years that the village has struggled with incidents involving asylum seekers, including theft, vandalism, and intimidation. Typically, law enforcement is called when issues arise, but authorities were unavailable during the October incident.
Sassen expressed frustration that the Public Prosecution Service initially dismissed the case in mid-2024, only to reopen it later. “It leaves a bitter taste — one that you’d need five liters of whiskey to wash away,” he remarked.
According to Sassen and other organizers, it is “unacceptable” that the convicted man faces punishment while the asylum seeker and the other attackers remain unpunished.
The collection campaign, which launched on March 2, has already raised more than €2,000.
The Vatican’s in-house news outlet has described the Muslim period of Ramadan as “a time of prayer and reconciliation for the good of Creation” and for “interreligious collaboration.”
In an article published on Saturday, Vatican News presented the Muslim period of Ramadan as yet another instance to be used for interreligious dialogue. Ramadan is “a time of prayer and reconciliation for the good of Creation,” read the article’s headline.
Ramadan was described as “the holy month for Islam” and as “a month of fasting, prayer and charitable acts.”
Vatican News wrote:
Ramadan and Lent are a time for Muslims and Christians to reflect deeply on shared themes. For both it is a period of fasting and contemplation, during which the faithful are called to reflect on their existence, on their relationship with Creation and with the Creator.
Speaking to Vatican News, Mustafa Cenap Aydin – director of the Tiber Institute Center for Dialogue – compared his Islamic creed and practice of Ramadan to that of the Catholic Lent. With Ramadan starting on March 1 and Lent on March 5, he said that “this coincidence is like two brothers, the sons of Abraham, walking together for different reasons.”
“This year we will have many opportunities for interreligious collaboration, also in spiritual life,” he added, citing the coinciding of the Catholic and Orthodox dates for Easter along with that of the Jewish Passover.
The annual month-long period of Ramadan is famous for its period of daytime fasting and nighttime feasting, and was recently even controversially used as a means by Cardinal Timothy Dolan to exhort Catholics to practice a more rigorous Lent.
But Islamic scholar Robert Spencer explained in a 2016 article published in FrontPageMagazine that while Muslims are exhorted “to grow more generous and kind toward their fellow Muslims” during Ramadan, anti-Muslim violence increases during the same period.
“If the Ramadan imperative is to become more devout, the Muslim who applies himself diligently to the Ramadan observance will simultaneously become more both merciful to his fellow Muslims and more severe against the unbelievers,” wrote Spencer.
He added that “murdering infidels thus doesn’t contradict the spirit of Ramadan; it embodies it.”
Drawing form a 2010 research article, Spencer commented:
The Kavkaz Center, a website operated by Chechen jihadists, explained in a 2010 article that the idea of Ramadan as a time for warfare against infidels went back to Muhammad’s time: “The month of Ramadan in the life of the Prophet (pbuh) and the righteous ancestors was a month of forthcoming. The greatest battles during the lifetime of the Prophet (pbuh) occurred in this blessed month, the month of jihad, zeal and enthusiasm.”
In contrast, as noted recently on LifeSite, Lent is the ancient liturgical season in the Catholic Church’s year marked by fasting, prayer, almsgiving, and good works in preparation for the immense mysteries of Holy Week and Easter. It is also to unite the Catholic faithful to that 40-day period of prayer and fasting which Christ spent in the desert. (Mark 1:12-13)
As noted in Father John Hardon’s respected Catholic Dictionary, Lent “is to better prepare the faithful for the feast of the Resurrection, and dispose them for a more fruitful reception of the graces that Christ merited by his passion and death.”
While much has been made to foster Catholic-Muslim relations in recent years, the Islamic understanding of God is irreconcilable with Catholicism.
In the words of Islam’s holy text itself, it can be noted that there is an outright rejection of so many fundamental elements of Catholicism. Firstly, the Koran rejects the notion of God as Trinity; secondly, it rejects that God has a Son, saying it is beneath Him to have one. Thirdly, Jesus is viewed simply as a messenger of God, necessitating the fact that Mary would not be the Mother of God.
In an August 2016 interview, Raymond Cardinal Burke stated that “I don’t believe it’s true that we’re all worshipping the same God, because the God of Islam is a governor.”
The cardinal’s words are echoed by Bishop Athanasius Schneider in his book-length interviewChristus Vincit, when he mentions that “Islam in itself is not faith.” The bishop continues by explaining that faith is only found in Christianity and “is applicable only to belief in the Holy Trinity – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. … When someone does not believe in the Holy Trinity, he has no faith but simply natural religion.”
Possessing images of Muslim women without their hijabs should be made a criminal offence, a group of Labour MPs has said.
The Commons’ Women and Equalities Committee said pictures of a Muslim woman without a religious headscarf taken without her consent should be considered “non-consensual intimate images” – and treated as harshly as child sex abuse material.
At the moment, the committee says, English law defines an “intimate” image as one which shows its subject fully or partially nude, engaging in a sexual act or going to the toilet.
But now, the Labour-led group has claimed that “abuse can also include material that is considered ‘culturally intimate’ for the victim, such as a Muslim woman being pictured without her hijab”.
“The Government should expand the legal definition to include such images,” it said. “Non-consensual intimate image abuse is not always limited to sexually explicit content.
“For example, in some cultures, countries, or religions, sharing a photograph of someone without their religious clothing – or with their arm around another person – can be disastrous for the victim.”
David Spencer, of the Policy Exchange think tank, said: “Tackling the problem of ‘revenge porn’ is clearly important – but expanding this to so-called ‘culturally intimate’ images risks extending the criminal law too far.
“The police cannot be expected to wade into so-called ‘cultural’ issues when officers are already struggling to deal with the volume of stabbings, sexual assaults and thefts that occur every day.
“The Government should be cautious about creating yet more criminal offences.”
The group will sit within Rayner’s Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG), with ex-Tory Attorney General Dominic Grieve set to be appointed to lead it thanks to his history of working to combat “anti-Muslim hate”.
The committee which proposed the hijab rule change comprises seven Labour MPs, one ex-Labour MP who now sits as an independent, two Lib Dems and one Conservative.
Committee chairwoman Sarah Owen said: “Non-consensual intimate image abuse is a deeply personal crime which can have life-changing and life-threatening consequences.
“We welcome the Government’s proposals to make creating non-consensual intimate images an offence, but a legal gap remains.
“The Government should bring forward amendments to the Crime and Policing Bill to make possession as well as the creation… an offence.
“This ensures non-consensual intimate images receives the same legal treatment as child sexual abuse material.”
On Feb 14, 2025, Muslim terrorists kidnapped 70 Christians in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, took them to a church, tied them up and beheaded them. Their bodies were left there to rot by the Muslim killers who did it to show the supremacy of Islam over Christianity.
Pope Francis made no mention of this bloody massacre of Christians in a church, instead in a meeting with the Prime Minister of the Slovak Republic, he spoke about “the serious humanitarian emergency in Gaza.”
The fake Muslim famine in Gaza somehow had priority over the mass killing of Christians.
Two days later there was still not a word about the mass murder of Christians, but in a message to the Jubilee of Artists and the World of Culture, Pope Francis urged them to pray for “pray for peace in tormented Ukraine, Palestine, Israel and all the Middle East, Myanmar, Kivu and Sudan.” The mention of Kivu, the general region in the DRC where the massacre took place, was the closest he came to mentioning the recent atrocity toward the very end of the long list.
Several weeks later, Pope Francis issued a statement from the hospital urging, “let us pray for martyred Ukraine, Palestine, Israel, Lebanon, Myanmar, Sudan and Kivu.”
Apart from Ukraine and Kivu, the rest of the pope’s list consisted of non-Christian countries, even more tellingly the list was skewed toward Muslim terrorist groups in Israel, ‘Palestine’, Lebanon and Sudan, along with the Communist ‘People’s Defense Forces’ in Myanmar.
Those Christians who were actually martyred for their faith in a church came last and were still not being mentioned directly by Pope Francis. The pope supposedly makes daily calls to Gaza, but there was no record of such daily calls to the beleaguered Christians of the DRC.
“It is silent genocide that has not been told. It reminds of what happened in Rwanda in 1994,” an anonymous priest said “It has been occurring for the last 30 years, but the international community has been silent.” The silence was coming just as strongly out of the Vatican which left one frightened priest to speak out about a generational genocide.
Pope Francis had accused Israel of genocide, but had asserted that, “I want to say clearly that I do not like it when people speak of a ‘genocide of Christians,’ for example in the Middle East”.
To say nothing of Africa.
In 2023, Pope Francis visited the DRC and blamed the violence on ‘capitalism’ and “’economic colonialism”. Using purple prose like the “poison of greed has smeared its diamonds with blood,” he warned ‘rich countries’ “Hands off the Democratic Republic of the Congo! Hands off Africa!”
Rather than preaching Christian teachings, the pope was propounding Marxist dogma.
The DRC’s problem wasn’t ‘colonialism’ and ‘capitalism’, but regional tribal and religious fighting, and the outside money being used to kill Christians was coming from Islamic ‘Hawala’ money exchange operations in Iraq, Jordan and around the Muslim world.
A few months later, the Islamists behind the latest massacre, killed 35 Christian villagers with machetes. Next year, Pope Francis issued yet another statement calling for peace and the protection of civilians without mentioning the Islamic Jihadists who were killing Christians.
Pope Francis isn’t too discreet about directing blame when he chooses to. Days before the church massacre in the DRC, he had dispatched a letter to American bishops, blasting the Trump administration, comparing illegal alien migrants to the “People of Israel”, and to “Jesus, Mary and Joseph”, and urging American Catholics to stand up for illegal aliens.
When it comes to defending Muslims, Pope Francis has the courage of a lion. The pope has falsely accused Israel of genocide for fighting against Hamas in Gaza. When Israel took out Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, the pope complained that “defense must always be proportionate to the attack” and that Israel was “immoral” for bombing the Islamic terrorist leader.
Pope Francis has repeatedly advocated for the Muslim insurgent Rohingya, but has failed to single out fellow Christians suffering from Islamic terrorism across Africa in the same way.
Why can’t Pope Francis even mention 70 Christian men, women and children massacred in a church?
The church was Protestant, but surely fellow Christians, including murdered children, should take priority over the pope’s other Islamic pet causes from Nasrallah to the Rohingya.
When Muslim terrorists carry out massacres in churches or synagogues, or strike on Christian or Jewish holidays, they are doing it to assert the message of ‘Allahu Akbar’ that Islam and its bloody deity ‘Allah’ are superior to that of the religion and god whose worshipers they are massacring. Silence in the face of these Islamist crimes only gives Muslims cause for glee.
So why does Pope Francis remain silent? For the same reason as much of our establishment.
When Pope Francis last visited the Democratic Republic of the Congo, he described its problems in Marxist terms of “colonialism” and ‘capitalism’. Despite cloaking his rhetoric in Catholic theology, he suffers from a leftist worldview that leaves him unable to grapple with world events except through the Marxist analysis of power relations in which the more powerful side is always wrong and the less powerful side is always right. The Christian world is forever guilty (along with the Jewish world) while the Muslim world consists of innocent victims.
This twisted liberation theology makes even Christian children murdered in an African church into oppressors because they are an extension of the colonialism of the Western world.
Reducing Christian morality to the secular oppressor/oppressed paradigm drives Pope Francis and other leftist clerics to call for the destruction of Europe and America for Islam. The figure of the ‘oppressed’ becomes sacred while the ordinary American becomes a sinful oppressor. Only when the west has been entirely destroyed will the great burden of guilt finally be removed.
This suicidal creed has been embedded throughout western culture, not only in its entertainment and universities, but also in the liberal streams of its religions. Countless churches and synagogues preach mass suicide through mass migration, they pray for Gaza, instead of for the survival of their own parishioners and countries who are next on the list.

A few hours after yesterday’s attack in Mannheim, a video of a Muslim woman went online. Presumably still assuming that the attack was yet another case of ‘Allahu akbar’ terror, the woman comments on the deadly attack in Mannheim, in which at least two people died and many were seriously injured.
She shows no compassion and instead claims that this is Allah’s punishment for us evil Germans. – says Naomi Seibt in her tweet of the day:
🚨🇩🇪 MANNHEIM: “MAY ALLAH’s CURSE BE UPON YOU”‼️
A Muslim woman comments on the deadly attack in Mannheim wherein another car crashed into a crowd.
She shows ZERO EMPATHY, and instead claims that this is Allah’s PUNISHMENT for us evil Germans.
The post is only really understandable if you assume that the female author – like almost everyone else – thought the car attack was an act of terrorism motivated by Muslims. We now know more. Tichys Einblick has summarised the current state of affairs:
As RTL.de and SPIEGEL report, citing insider sources, the perpetrator is said to be Alexander S. This coincides with the information announced by the Interior Minister of North Rhine-Westphalia, Herbert Reul. He reported that the perpetrator was a 40-year-old German. As RTL reports, Alexander S. is said to have suffered from severe mental health problems as early as 2024.
Alexander S. is also said to have been known to the police since 2018. This is said to involve drunk driving and displaying anti-constitutional symbols. However, there was no further contact with the police after 2018.
A social media profile identified by TE as probable does not show any evidence of any kind of radical mindset. He posted little, most recently in 2021. Another, possibly more recent profile on another social medium is private, i.e. not publicly visible.
It was reported on X that the perpetrator was a German named A.; a photo of ID documents allegedly found at the crime scene was also passed around. The police explicitly denied it: he was not the suspect. – that’s the story of Tichys.

But if you take a closer look at Alexander S.’s Facebook profile, you will discover that he was a radical leftist: Alexander Scheuermann was politically left-wing. He commented on a video on Facebook with ‘Saugeil’, in which a street artist painted over right-wing extremist symbols.

A former co-captain of a California university women’s volleyball team is completing her senior year virtually after enduring alleged on-campus threats and harassment for having filed a lawsuit against her school over the participation of a gender-confused male on her team.
The ongoing controversy at San Jose State University (SJSU) is representative of the problem-fraught, highly charged issue of men and boys claiming to be women so that they can participate in women’s sports.
According to the online sports news and commentary site Outkick, Brooke Slusser said that after the turmoil she experienced at SJSU surrounding her objections to male Blaire Fleming playing on her volleyball team, she felt like she needed to flee campus life and finish the second semester of her senior year online.
“I would just be walking and I’d have people say things to me, like I had one girl just scream ‘f— you!’ to me,” Slusser told Fox News Digital. “I was in the elevator one time at my apartment and some girls, as they were walking out, were like ‘oh, that’s the girl, you should have slapped her when you had the chance,’ so those types of things happened.”
“I literally just didn’t feel safe,” Slusser said. “Anytime I left the house, I felt like people were just like staring at me. I felt like I had to watch my back whenever I was on campus.”
Although the university reportedly had taken action to address the threats against her, according to Fox News Digital, “the mental toll of the experience with Fleming and her coaches weighed too heavily on her to remain in California.”
“It was probably the most traumatizing thing I’ve ever gone through in my life,” Slusser told Fox News Digital. “I was so drained, and I feel like for so long, I was just running on the adrenaline of trying to get through it and I honestly would say I was kind of numb to everything for a while, and I really did lose myself. I’d like to consider myself a pretty happy person, and I wasn’t that person for a while.”
In November, Biden-appointed District Court Judge S. Kato Crews ruled that Brandon “Blaire” Fleming, a redshirt senior, was allowed to compete in San Jose’s upcoming games.
An emergency injunction had been filed by nine female collegiate volleyball players, including Slusser, against the Mountain West Conference seeking to prevent Fleming from competing.
The judge denied their appeal, asserting that their suit should have been filed earlier, as Fleming had been active on the women’s team since 2022.
Assistant San Jose State head coach Melissa Batie-Smoose was suspended indefinitely last fall after she filed a 33-page Title IX complaint over Fleming, who she said has a clear advantage with his powerful spikes.
“I just want to protect women’s sports and protect the members of our team,” she told Outkick at the time.
Last month, after the U.S. Department of Education (DOE) indicated to San Jose State that it would be investigated for placing Fleming on the school’s volleyball team, university president Cynthia Teniente-Matson issued a statement to Fox News.
Recently, we were notified that the U.S. Department of Education has initiated a directed investigation related to Title IX in light of President Trump’s executive order with respect to athletics participation. As with any federal inquiry, we will fully engage with the process, follow established procedures and remain transparent in our compliance with all applicable laws.
While we adhere to legal and regulatory requirements, San José State will continue to act within our authority to uphold the values that define us as an institution. Our focus remains on our values, including fostering an environment that cultivates compassion, where every student has the opportunity to thrive. We remain steadfast in our role as a place of learning, respect and opportunity for all.

On Monday evening, a van sped through the centre of Vienna and crashed into the statue of Pestsäule am Graben. After the attacks in Magdeburg and Munich, as well as the rampage with an as yet unknown motive in Mannheim, many feared a similar terrorist attack, passers-by panicked and fled. A terrorist attack was quickly ruled out: The police stated that an intoxicated driver lost control of his vehicle and there were no injuries. However, it has now been revealed: The man went on a rampage when he was arrested, shouting clear slogans – and it wasn’t ‘his’ vehicle either. The van, which belongs to a Viennese construction company, was stolen from a building site in Vienna’s Penzing district shortly before the rampage in the pedestrian zone. The man drove it from Habsburgergasse in the first district into the ditch, alternately accelerating and braking. The collision with the statue occurred when police officers became aware of the man and the stolen vehicle hit the pillar’s bollards. The man resisted arrest and is said to have shouted ‘Allahu Akbar’, ‘I’ll fuck your mum’ and ‘I’ll sink you all in the canal’ several times. His escape was ended after just a few metres; the 35-year-old’s blood alcohol level was measured at 1.2 per mille. He was admitted to a psychiatric hospital due to his mental health problems.
