A Sudanese man kidnapped a five-year-old girl from behind her mother’s back before sexually assaulting her in his house, a court has been told.

Mohammed Abdulraziq, 32, was accused of taking the girl and locking her inside his home in Winson Green on March 30.

He was also accused of sexually assaulting her, after the pair were found with the bottom half of their clothing removed to their ankles.

Mr Abdulraziq is currently on trial at Birmingham Crown Court having been arrested by West Midlands police on April 1.

He denied the charges of false imprisonment, false imprisonment with intent to commit a sexual offence, sexual assault and assault.

The court heard that the girl was taken by Mr Abdulraziq while she was playing on the street and her mother’s back was turned, and he brought her to his house.

Jurors were told that when the mother realised what had taken place, she banged on his door and tried to use a piece of wood to smash the window of a downstairs room.

It is also alleged that Mr Abdulraziq punched a neighbour who tried to enter the house through a window before two men successfully broke into the house and rescued the child.

Shortly after, the defendant was arrested as the girl repeatedly told her mother “he hurt me”, the court was told.

According to Prosecutor Tariq Shakoor, a barefooted Mr Abdulraziq had made a “sly” comment with a “sexual connotation” towards the mother when he had approached her earlier that day.

However, the woman did not understand, as he was speaking another language, and he returned to his home.

The mother had then been talking with a friend, and when she later turned around she could no longer find her daughter, Mr Shakoor added.

The prosecutor said it was at this point that the sound of crying could be heard, and the mother realised her daughter was in the house with the 32-year-old.

Mr Shakoor said: “The defendant is plainly in that room with the child at this time and her mother, in panic, picks up a piece of wood to try and smash the window.

Mr Shakoor said: “She sees her child with the defendant. The defendant was next to a bed, [the girl] was opposite him.

“Her bottoms, described as cycling shorts, are down to her ankles.

“The defendant’s lower clothing was also down to his ankles and the defendant at that stage appears to be bending towards the child, touching her shorts and trying to pull them up.”

The trial continues.

Cardinal Gerhard Müller has said that the UK’s ban on prayer in front of abortion mills is comparable to persecution under Nazi rule of Catholic prelates who prayed for the Jews.

Cardinal Müller sent a written address to the conference Le Tavole di Assisi on September 6, with the topic “The new US presidency. Throne and altar together again? An opportunity for the Christian West?”

Kath.net published Cardinal Müller’s words in the original German.

“The Nazi ideologues knew in their hearts that killing innocent people was a crime before God and man,” the German prelate and former head of the Congregation (now Dicastery) for the Doctrine of the Faith stated.

“But they numbed their consciences with their racial ideology, which held that Jews and other peoples (such as Slavs) were not fully human and that therefore the law inscribed in the heart of every rational being, ‘Thou shalt not kill’ (Ex 20:13; Deut 5:17), did not apply in this case.”

“Similarly, abortion ideologues know that the child in the womb is an individual human being who must not be killed,” he observed. “But in order to conceal the crime, they claim that children in the womb are not yet fully human beings and can therefore be killed if necessary.”

“To numb their consciences, they criminalize those who defend the right to life of the unborn,” Cardinal Müller continued.

“In England, you can go to prison for praying for the lives of the unborn in front of an abortion clinic, just as in Nazi Germany, Berlin Cathedral priest [Blessed Fr. Bernhard] Lichtenberg died in Gestapo custody in 1943 simply because he had prayed for the persecuted Jews,” he concluded.

“This also applies to gender madness, which persuades adolescents that they can change their gender and drives them into lifelong physical misery and mental suffering through assisted self-mutilation,” the German cardinal added.

“That is why every Catholic in the United States, and especially the episcopate, should be grateful to the Trump administration for restoring the natural moral law, which is recognizable as a moral standard in the reason of every conscientious person, as the basis of government action in the leading power of the free West.”

The UK has introduced so-called “buffer zone laws” around abortion facilities, forbidding any pro-life activism and even silent prayer. UK pro-life activist Isabel Vaughan-Spruce was famously arrested and investigated several times for silently praying inside these “buffer zones” close to abortion mills. In June, the UK Parliament voted in favor of a bill that completely decriminalized abortion, allowing it up to the moment of birth.

“I won’t shy away from decisions to protect kids,” UK PM Keir Starmer promisingly began.

After protests over the latest migrant Muslim sexual assault in Epping and new revelations about Pakistani Muslim sex grooming gangs, the announcement might have expected to be a political turnaround in which Starmer would start protecting children from Muslim rapists.

Sadly, no.

The rest of that sentence was “we’re stopping shops from selling high-caffeine energy drinks to under 16s.”

Starmer will shy away from investigating and holding accountable Pakistani Muslim grooming gangs or even keeping them from swarming the country and assaulting more young girls. (And he will not shy away from locking anyone up who mentions it.) But he will not shy away from fighting the terrible scourge of energy drinks.

There used to be a line about not being too young to serve, but being too young to drink in the U.S.

In Starmer’s UK, you can be too young to drink energy drinks, but not too young to be raped by the Muslim migrants arriving fresh off the boats from Afghanistan.

Commotion in the municipality of Guingamp (Côtes-d’Armor). During Mass on Monday, September 8, a statue of the Virgin Mary was set on fire in the Basilica of Notre-Dame de Bon Secours. Similar incidents had already occurred four years ago, on September 14, 2025.
The incident took place on Monday evening, during the 6 p.m. Mass: “Yesterday evening, during the 6 p.m. Mass, on the feast day of the Nativity of Mary, our basilica was once again the victim of an act of vandalism: the statue of the Virgin and Child, our patron saint Notre-Dame de Bonsecours, was set on fire. This was clearly a deliberate act, as there is no heat source near the statue. For what purpose? I am outraged and very angry…”, explains a member of the Friends of the Basilica Organ Association in a message on Facebook.

Much of the clothing worn by the Virgin and her child was destroyed by the flames. The gendarmerie was called in immediately and sent forensic experts from Saint-Brieuc to secure fingerprints and DNA traces that could help identify the arsonists. Witnesses were interviewed and a neighbourhood survey was conducted. ‘The investigation is still ongoing,’ said the gendarmerie.

Mona Braz, president of the association ‘Les Amis du Patrimoine de Guingamp’ (Friends of Guingamp’s Cultural Heritage), expressed her dismay at this act of vandalism: “We would like to remind everyone that the attachment to Notre-Dame de Bon-Secours extends far beyond the faithful and practising believers: together with the black Madonna in the north portal, she is one of the “residents” of Guingamp. She is part of our immediate environment and local cultural heritage. It is therefore painful to see the destruction of garments whose embroidery required thousands of hours of work,” she lamented. Most of the garments worn by the Virgin and her child were burned in the flames. […]

She wonders about the motives behind this criminal act: ‘Apart from justified outrage and equally justified anger, it is, to put it bluntly, difficult not to see this as either primitive anti-Christianity or Christianophobia, or even a sign that faith is definitely no longer in vogue; or worse still, confirmation that respect for religious heritage and religious works of art has been lost.’
Previously, the clothes of the Virgin Mary and her child had been set on fire. The parish and the municipal authorities of Guingamp had filed a complaint. The gendarmerie had launched an investigation and even published a call for witnesses. On October 28, 2015, the Notre-Dame de Bon Secours church had already been vandalised by arson.

Slovakia’s parliament is debating a constitutional amendment to enshrine traditional values on gender and sexuality in the country’s constitution.

The parliament proposal also seeks to prevent the European Union from overruling Slovakian decisions.

The amendment was initiated by Prime Minister Robert Fico and the ruling populist coalition. It aims to recognise only two sexes, exclude same-sex couples from adoption and prioritise Slovak law over European Union law in areas related to “cultural-ethical questions”, national identity and values.

These are the same issues that triggered a bitter conflict between the EU and Hungary.

Slovakia’s Government framed the constitutional amendment as protecting Slovak sovereignty against “progressive” or “woke” EU legislation on gender identity, LGBTQ+ rights and family matters.

In June, Fico stated that he recognised only two sexes, namely male and female, adding that marriage was the unique union of man and woman.

“There is a real constitutional majority that can strengthen the traditional understanding of family and a healthy view of the existence of two sexes in September,” he said.

Regarding so-called gender fluidity, Fico said: “If you want someone to feel like a lamp or a chair, or a helicopter or a dog, let them feel that way, but we will recognise in the Constitution only two sexes, man and woman.”

Schools will have to follow suit, he said. “The State educational programme must be in line with the principles and values of the Constitution. Anything beyond that will have to be approved by parents.”

According to Fico, this would form “a dam against progressivism”. At the Conservative Political Action Conference earlier this year, he said Slovakia was based “on more than 1,000 years of Christian tradition, [with the] traditional family as a fundamental component of our society”.

Justice minister Boris Susko has insisted that the amendment does not go beyond the already enshrined principles in the Slovak legal order. He said claims to the contrary were “absolute lies and misleading”.

Critics, including progressive human rights organisations, opposition parties and international bodies, argue the amendment would undermine human rights, gender equality and Slovakia’s EU commitments, potentially leading to discrimination against transgender, non-binary and intersex people, as well as same-sex couples.

According to Liberal MP Mária Kolíková, the draft amendment goes against freedom, equality, human dignity and against the fact that Slovakia belongs to Europe. “We will not support such a change to the Constitution in any case,” she said.

The proposal was initially approved in March with 81 votes, including some opposition support from Conservative MPs. It advanced to the second reading in parliament in April.

A required three-fifths majority (90 out of 150 MPs) for final passage, though, has not been secured.

A vote scheduled for June was postponed to September due to insufficient support.

The coalition is seeking additional votes from Conservative opposition groups such as KDH (Christian Democratic Movement) and Kresťanská únia (Christian Union), whose members have expressed conditional support for elements including banning surrogacy and defining “mother” as female and “father” as male.

A vote is expected on or around September 25.

Amnesty International, the Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights, and UN experts have warned that the changes would violate international human rights standards, including the European Convention on Human Rights and could isolate Slovakia within the EU.

European Commissioner for Justice Michael McGrath has stated the reform would break EU law.

In a letter to the Slovak Government on June 13, McGrath said: “The European Commission has clearly warned the Slovak authorities that the proposed amendment to the Constitution in Article Seven, Paragraph Six and Paragraph Seven, as adopted in the first reading on April 9, 2025, raises concerns regarding the principles of the supremacy of European law.”

Domestic NGOs and opposition parties have launched petitions and protests, viewing it as a step toward eroding democracy and EU membership.

Amnesty International Slovakia said the legal recognition of only two biologically determined genders, male and female, while completely excluding transgender, non-binary and intersex people, could lead to the loss of their legal protection and introduce discrimination.

It also claimed that the change in the law could de facto prevent access to official gender change.

Article 7 of the EU Treaty allows sanctions such as suspending voting rights and withholding subsidies against member states violating EU values, such as democracy or human rights.

Critics argue these values have been increasingly redefined through a progressive lens. In the case of LGBTQ rights, for example, the EU has framed LGBTQ issues as fundamental human rights, actively advancing progressive political agendas through funding of NGO’s, initiatives such as the LGBTIQ Equality Strategy and funding mechanisms including the Rainbow Europe Map.

These tools not only monitor and rank countries based on their alignment with progressive policies but also exert pressure on member states to adopt specific legal and social reforms.

Opponents claim that approach undermines national sovereignty and imposes a uniform ideological framework.

The Bouches-du-Rhône juvenile court sentenced two men to long prison terms for the rape of an 18-year-old woman near the SNCF train station in Aix-en-Provence in December 2021.

“It’s a brutal rape par excellence,” said the victim’s lawyer, Maud Bertrand, to Le Figaro. 

The court handed Mohamed Annabi, a 29-year-old Algerian, a 17-year sentence that includes a two-thirds security period, a permanent ban from French territory, and registration in the FIJAIS (automated judicial file for perpetrators of sexual or violent offenses). His accomplice, Amen-Allah Handiri, a 20-year-old Tunisian who was 17 at the time of the crime, received 15 years. 

The attack took place on one December night in 2021. Around 3 a.m., the victim, referred to as Anissa, left the Shakespeare Club on Place Ramus. Walking home alone, she was approached by the two men, then aged 17 and 25, who spoke to her in Arabic. Sensing their pursuit, Anissa called her boyfriend in an attempt to scare them off. “Stop, I don’t know you!” her boyfriend shouted through the phone, before hearing crying and then silence.

Near the train station, Annabi grabbed the young woman and dragged her into a dead-end street, where he and Handiri took turns raping her. Her screams drew the attention of four passersby, who chased the rapists away. 

The two perpetrators were arrested the following day, identified through video surveillance at a student residence where they had been squatting. Both men had been in France for just under a year, living illegally, and working unregistered jobs in construction. They were also abusing alcohol and drugs.

The trial was held behind closed doors. According to her lawyer, Anissa “showed courage and dignity in her suffering.” At the time of the attack, she was studying sociology, but she abandoned her studies due to the trauma. She has since been diagnosed with severe post-traumatic stress disorder. “She is afraid to go out and feels like she is being followed,” Bertrand explained.

Many locals sense their quality of life deteriorating as immigration puts pressure on local communities. While crime rates have surged in the country in the past years, French governments keep spending millions of euros to bring more immigrants into the country.

A major investigation by broadcasters NTV, RTL, and Stern magazine has uncovered a booming trade in forged language and integration certificates on TikTok, with fake documents being used to gain German residence permits and citizenship.

Under German law, foreigners seeking permanent residence or naturalization must prove their integration by passing language and integration tests, but journalists found a thriving black market on TikTok where supposed “language schools” openly advertise for sale certificates from providers like Telc or adult education centers.

“A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2, no school, no exam,” one vendor promises in Arabic, Turkish, and Albanian clips on the social media platform. Prices for a B1 certificate or “Living in Germany” test range from €750 to €2,700, with discounts for families. Other forged papers, such as driver’s licenses and security-industry qualifications, are also available. Posts regularly attract hundreds of thousands of views, some over a million, with comments like “Brother needs B1, what does it cost?”

Investigative journalists contacted more than 40 dealers, arranging meetings in major German cities, and received the goods within a matter of days. They reported that the certificates looked authentic, often featuring QR codes linking to fake verification websites, and officials admitted to the broadcasters that such forgeries can be nearly impossible to spot.

Security agencies acknowledge cases of naturalizations already completed using fake documents, but insiders believe the real number is far higher. An employee at an immigration office in North Rhine-Westphalia told investigators, “We are currently experiencing a loss of control of unprecedented proportions. We are completely overwhelmed. Proper document verification is no longer taking place in many places.”

He added that political pressure to “meet quotas” on naturalizations means checks are often waived. Once a fake certificate is accepted, it is rarely questioned again: “Once in, it usually means: in forever.”

Official figures show 1,009 German naturalizations revoked in the past five years, but it is unknown how many were linked to fraud. It is believed, however, that this is merely the tip of the iceberg regarding fraudulent applications. Police in Hamburg and Frankfurt admit to dozens of ongoing investigations, while insiders in multiple states suggest more than 1,000 suspected cases are under review.

In southern Germany, one official uncovered 340 fake certificates in a single week by tracing falsified QR codes. He now doubts “whether there are even any honest applicants left.”

Remix News reported in June how a record number of foreigners were naturalized in Germany last year, with Syrians and Turks gaining citizenship at the highest rate.

The data from just 13 German states showed that 249,901 people were given German citizenship. Syrians were in first place. For example, in the most populous state, North Rhine-Westphalia, 24,349 Syrians received German citizenship.

While in July, we reported how immigration officials in Berlin were being rewarded with perks like remote working for processing as many naturalization applications as possible, as the city’s State Office for Immigration (LEA) committed to an ambitious target of 40,000 new Germans this year.

“We need to produce high naturalization numbers,” one employee told Bild. The office had already reached 20,600 naturalizations by the end of June, putting it on track to meet its record target by the end of the year.

Pope Leo XIV has named a female “artist” who published homoerotic and sadomasochistic photographs as the new president of the Pontifical Academy for Fine Arts.

The Vatican announced on Saturday that the pope appointed Roman museum director Cristiana Perrella to the position. The Pontifical Academy for Fine Arts and Letters of the Virtuosi al Pantheon was founded in 1542 by Pope Paul III for the purpose of promoting, studying, and cultivating sacred art and Christian-inspired literature.

BREAKING | @Pontifex appoints new Director for Pontifical Academy of Fine Arts — who has HOSTED exhibits of homoerotic art.

When will Catholics say ENOUGH? pic.twitter.com/sDSbS3whRc

Perrella is known as an “expert” in contemporary art. She has been director of the MACRO museum in Rome since March of this year and previously taught “cultural management” at the San Raffaele University in Milan.

Perrella has hosted multiple obscene, pro-LGBT, and sadomasochistic displays in the past. In 2020, she curated an exhibition called “Nudes” featuring 90 photographs by Chinese artist Ren Hang at the Centro per l’arte contemporanea Luigi Pecci in Prato, Italy. Most of the photographs showed naked persons, with some of them featuring homoerotic poses. The official exhibition description stated that some of the photos “at times refer to sadomasochism and fetishism.”

In 2019, the Italian artist directed the exhibition “Night Fever: Designing Club Culture 1960–Today.” The display promoted nightclub culture and featured sexualized, pro-LGBT exposés. In an interview with Sleek magazine, she lamented that nightclubs are “increasingly under threat” due to closures. The exhibition also highlighted “queer club culture,” and Perrella stressed the role of nightclubs for the LGBT movement, since clubs “were places where people could be themselves and affirm their identity publically [sic].”

In 2021, Perrella curated an exhibition titled “Cult Fiction,” featuring photographs from Marialba Russo documenting the explicit advertisement posters for pornographic movies that were seen on the streets of Aversa and Naples during the late 1970s and early 1980s. The theme of the exhibition was “sexual liberation.”

Perrella has been a member of the Pontifical Academy for Fine Arts since June 2022, when she was appointed by Pope Francis. Perrella is responsible for the program of the “Conciliazione 5” exhibition space of the Dicastery for Culture and Education of the Holy See, which was inaugurated for the Holy Year 2025. In the wake of the jubilee, she also curated a site-specific art installation in Rome’s Rebibbia prison, where Pope Francis opened his own Holy Door on December 26, 2024.

Pope Leo has recently met with several prominent heretics, including the infamous Jesuit Father James Martin, the pro-abortion nun Sr. Lucia Caram, and the head of the German Bishops’ Conference, Georg Bätzing. While the Vatican did not signal support for their views, the Holy See also offered no condemnation of their promotion of errors in matters of faith and morals. The appointment of Perrella to her new position adds to the concern of many faithful Catholics that the Holy See is tolerating and even promoting heterodoxy.

Two Arab terrorists from Ramallah, which is the capital of what the world calls the “Palestinian National Authority,” enter a bus and open fire, killing six Israelis (three of them rabbis, one a middle aged woman).

One of the most famous sayings attributed to Winston Churchill is, without doubt, the definition of an appeaser: “Someone who feeds the crocodile hoping it will eat him last.”

Palestinism is the political ideology that part of the West has embraced in the hope of being eaten last.

Spanish socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez announced a package of measures against Israel. Tragically ironic that he is the premier of a country from which one of the victims of the Jerusalem attack, 25-year-old newly married Yaakov Pinto, came on aliyah.

Evidently, the Atocha train station terror attack was not enough for the Spaniards. Will leftists and Islamic fanatics destroy our civilization, aided by our fellow citizens in bad faith and too many good people who fight for peace “at all costs”?

This is what Rafael Bardaji, former national security adviser to Spanish Prime Minister José Maria Aznar, thinks: “The infamous Arab and Muslim street has shifted from the Middle East to the West with the acquiescence of timid conservatives and the complacency of a childish and nihilistic left.”

But Palestinism is also a substitute religion born of the spiritual fatigue of the West and the thirst for revenge that characterizes the Islamic world.

Western secularization has not erased Golgotha; it has transposed it from the individual Jew to the collective Jew. And de-Christianized Europe has chosen a new Passion: the Palestinian Muslim crucified by Israeli Jews.

The West does not understand Hamas. But Hamas understands the West.

And here Palestinian Arab propaganda plays on two registers: in Arabic, it exalts revenge through blood, promising the return of Mohammed’s army. In English, Italian, German, Dutch and French, it presents a secularized Passion: the Palestinian Arab martyred by the white Jewish oppressor.

Muslims have a good memory. They have never renounced al-Andalus, Islamic Spain, even if the Spanish leftist government imagines it can buy “peace” by sacrificing the Jews, as it did in the 15th century.

“What would England do if Islamic terrorists killed 15,000 of its citizens in a single day?” Benjamin Netanyahu asked British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

I have the answer: they would do nothing.

That is why Starmer has just appointed Shabana Mahmood as the UK’s new Home Secretary. She swore on the Quran, took part in demonstrations chanting for the “globalization of the Intifada,” and defended the NGO Islamic Relief.

This is what frightens me most—that we would let ourselves be massacred while offering flowers, candles, apologies, and a Quran on which to swear loyalty.

The origin of the name Ramot, where attack in Jerusalem took place, comes from the biblical prophet Samuel: “And Samuel died, and all Israel gathered and mourned for him, and they buried him in his house at Ramah.” The traditional site of the Tomb of Samuel, called “Nebi Samuel,” is just a few minutes ride down the road on which Ramot Junction is located.

When will we Westerners remember where we come from?
