Germany has introduced new rules requiring men aged 17 to 45 to obtain military approval before traveling abroad for more than three months.
The measure comes under amendments to the country’s military service laws, with the stated aim of improving oversight of potential personnel.
Under the policy, men must seek authorization from the Bundeswehr before leaving the country for extended periods.
The rule applies regardless of the purpose of travel, including work, education, or tourism.
The German Ministry of Defense confirmed the change, claiming it is designed to maintain accurate records.
“In the event of an emergency, it is necessary to know who may be abroad for an extended period,” a ministry spokesperson said.
🇩🇪 GERMAN MEN CANNOT LEAVE WITHOUT THE ARMY’S APPROVAL ANYMORE!

Officials say further details, including exemption criteria, are still being finalized.
The changes form part of a broader effort to modernize Germany’s armed forces, with plans underway to reintroduce full conscription by 2028.
Last year, Chancellor Friedrich Merz oversaw the passage.
German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul accused Russian leader Vladimir Putin of using the war in Iran to shift focus away from Ukraine.
“Putin cynically hopes that the escalation in the Middle East will divert our attention from his crimes in Ukraine,” Wadephul said.
Officials have also raised concerns about growing military cooperation between Moscow and the Iranian regime, including reported shipments of drones and equipment.
After refusing to join the U.S. conflict in Iran, Germany and its allies have indicated willingness to support efforts to secure shipping routes through the Strait of Hormuz.
However, any action is expected to follow a ceasefire, which is unlikely to be imminent.
Ongoing disruptions in the region have left around 20,000 seafarers stranded across approximately 3,200 vessels, sending the global price of oil soaring.
Following the devastation of World War II, Germany imposed strict limits on its military, creating the Bundeswehr in 1955 as a defensive force under tight civilian control.
Conscription existed for decades but was suspended in 2011, leaving Germany reliant on a fully professional military.
Two men were arrested by the Oviedo municipal police in the early hours of Good Friday after disrupting the ‘La Madrugá’ procession, organised by the Students’ Brotherhood in the Asturian capital. According to sources questioned by EL COMERCIO, the incident took place in a bar on Calle San Francisco, right in the middle of the procession route, in which several thousand worshippers were taking part. Apparently, several people shouted: “I’m not going to keep quiet because of a bloody procession!”, whilst the rest of the participants waited in awed silence in front of the historic building for the float bearing the statue of Christ. Given the risk of public disorder, two officers were deployed to the scene.
Inside the building, officers from the Public Safety Department identified an individual behaving in a hostile manner. According to the same sources, the man then struck an officer, leading to his immediate arrest on suspicion of assaulting a police officer. However, the incident did not end there. In view of the continuing tensions, another officer intervened to address the other individuals involved and urge them to desist from their behaviour. During this intervention, another man refused to cooperate with the officers and even went so far as to shout “I am a Muslim!” in defiance of the police’s orders.
After the man continued his behaviour and resisted arrest, he was led out of the building, where he continued to behave aggressively and even grabbed one of the officers by his service vest. He was subsequently arrested and charged with serious resistance. (…)
Basildon Borough Council leader Gavin Callaghan has been reported to police after a video containing antisemitic content was posted on his social media account.
The Labour councillor issued a public apology after the clip appeared on his official Facebook page before being deleted hours later.
The video, titled “Back Basildon Stop Reform” and featuring the Basildon Labour logo, used Michael Jackson’s 1996 track “They Don’t Care About Us” as its soundtrack.
The song sparked controversy on release over lyrics including “Jew me, sue me” and “kick me, k*ke me”, which Jackson later re-recorded to remove.
However, the version shared by Mr Callaghan contained the original offensive lyrics.
The slurs were displayed in bold text over images of Conservative councillors serving on Basildon Borough Council.
A caption alongside the clip warned that Billericay Conservatives could regain control of the council within 35 days if Reform UK secured enough seats.
Andy Barnes, leader of the Basildon Conservatives, reported the incident to police after being alerted by a member of the public.
He said: “Councillor Callaghan seems to have given no thought to the hurt and distress publicly posting these will have caused, to a Jewish community already under siege by increasing hostility and attack.”
He added: “Members of my own group, of Jewish descent has been shocked that the leader of our organisation would stoop so low.”
The video is understood to have remained online for around three hours before being removed.
Conservative MP Richard Holden called on Sir Keir Starmer to expel the councillor from the Labour Party.
He said: “It takes a lot to shock me and I had hoped to never see such antisemitic bile from Labour again.”
Mr Holden added: “Sir Keir Starmer must immediately kick out this councillor or he will show that the words he spoke about rooting out anti-Jewish hatred from Labour were just for show at a time when the British Jewish community is feeling more under attack than ever before.”
Lord Pickles, co-chair of the UK Holocaust Memorial Foundation, described the incident as “absolutely appalling”.
Mr Callaghan issued an apology on social media, saying he had used AI to create the video but was “completely unaware” of the antisemitic lyrics.
He added that he had failed to properly review the content before posting it.
The Labour council leader said: “Antisemitism has no place in our society and I am deeply sorry for unknowingly sharing something that carried antisemitic content.
“I would never have posted it had I known, and accept that I should have been more careful in my use of AI.
“I will learn from this mistake and be far more cautious in the future.”
I thought I was watching a hoax come to life when I saw the tweets show up on my X feed. Conservative commentators were sharing an image. At the top was a large black-and-white photograph of an endless line of African and Middle Eastern men (and one lone woman). The setting, clearly, is Europe. At the bottom left of the photograph, in a little yellow button, is the word “love.” And underneath is this headline: “Why a ‘rise in sexual assaults’ by migrants is a price worth paying to end racism.”
I mean, you can see why I thought it was a hoax. Who in their right mind would advocate for increased sexual assaults by migrants? After all, day in and day out, American and European news outlets (especially European ones) have stories of these migrants sexually assaulting everyone from babies to old women, assaults that often ended in murder. Here are just some recent examples from America, all of which are names you’ll recognize:
Laken Riley
Rachel Morin
Kayla Hamilton
Jocelyn Nungaray
Europe has the same problem, which is aided and abetted by officials:
And of course, England had the child exploitation scandal. In 2013, the British people learned that, starting in the 1980s and continuing for decades, Pakistani gangs were systematically trafficking thousands of British girls in the most brutal ways imaginable, while the authorities looked the other way, for fear of offending the Muslim population.
Shalawam! 👋 AFRU is a Black-led and Black-owned startup that combines art and fashion with lifestyle commentary to create a strong social justice brand that is relevant to folks from all walks of life.
We believe in the power of art to spark meaningful conversations, as well as the other way around. We also realize that people don’t want to be preached to all the time. That’s why our imprint magazine stitches together light everyday topics with navigation of more difficult intersectional spaces — all while allowing for the kind of messiness that is part of human nature. Our visual and intellectual branding therefore nurture each other in an perpetual spiral of trendsetting justice.
According to the essay, which the entire AFRU staff came together to write, all these sexual assaults are just an unfortunate combination of “language gaps and cultural misunderstandings” that end up with “the first romantic encounter between a Western woman and a refugee” being perceived (presumably by the refugee) as “quasi-consensual in nature.”
Let me interject here that, for decades, the left, via its feminist branch, has been telling us that consent must be so explicit that the man should ask the woman every step of the way. May I touch your arm? May I hug you? May I kiss you? May I remove your shirt/shoes/pants? May I insert Plug A into Slot A or, if I’m into kink, into Slot B? Anything short of that is rape.
Now, though, we’re being told that if an immigrant from a rape culture decides that grabbing a woman, ripping off her clothes, and doing vile things to her body is “romantic,” it’s also “quasi-consensual” and, therefore all good.
But there’s a bright side to these “quasi-consensual,” perhaps violent encounters: “But increasingly these encounters result in a shared apartment, a mixed-race child, a new surname, and a happy future.” And who do we have to thank for this? White women who aren’t just “engaging in fetishism or exoticism.” Instead, by accepting these assaults, they are trailblazing a path to the end of racism. (Apparently, black women or other minority women have no such obligation.)
From there, the essay slips into saying it’s a good thing when white European women bring refugees home to mommy. And while they can help these refugees navigate their new land, they, too, learn wonderful things:
These women often introduce their partners to informal but essential codes: how to navigate bureaucracy, what behaviors signal trustworthiness, how to perform integration in a society obsessed with appearances. At the same time, they absorb the refugee’s worldview, witnessing firsthand how Western institutions often fail the very people they claim to welcome.
The essay continues in this blah-blah vein, arguing that all these brave white women are a rebuttal to evil right-wingers who keep harping on the immigrants’ propensity to rape women.
And that’s pretty much where the essay ends. What’s so weird about it is the framing. If you want to say that women civilize men, as they always have, and that white women are doing this for refugees with whom they fall in love, say it. But for AFRU to insist that sexual assault against white women is the pathway to love and social integration is, quite simply, obscene. It’s a whole new level of racism and misogyny that deserves to be called out.
This is King Charles III’s official title: “His Majesty Charles the Third, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of His other Realms and Territories King, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith.” The faith he’s officially defending is the Church of England (“CoE”). However, Charles’s choice to honor Ramadan this year while ignoring Easter—a year of aggressively ascendant Islam in the UK—leaves one questioning his fealty to the CoE, and lends fuel to old rumors that he’s secretly a Muslim convert.
Before I begin, here’s a fun little bit of history about which faith a British monarch is defending. In 1521, when England was still part of European Catholicism, Henry VIII wrote a treatise entitled Assertio Septem Sacramentorum (“Defense of the Seven Sacraments.”) There was a Pope Leo on the Papal throne back then, too, the tenth of his name, and he awarded Henry the title of Fidei Defensor, or “defender of the faith.”
Here’s the funny part: Thirteen years later, in 1534, Henry officially broke with Rome, a break largely driven by his desperate need for a son. Katherine of Aragon had given him only a daughter and could no longer have children. Henry needed a new wife, and the Pope would not grant him a divorce; so, he got rid of the Pope. This was made possible by the rise of Protestantism in England. It’s a long story…
Any, the papacy promptly revoked the title Fidei Defensor, only to have Parliament, in 1544, reinstate it, only this time it referred to the CoE, not the Catholic Church.
I mention all this because there’s long been speculation that, if Charles took the throne, the new faith the British monarch defended might be Islam.
All the way back in 2003, Daniel Pipes wrote a widely disseminated post about long-standing rumors that Charles, who was open in his admiration for Islam, might have secretly converted. The introduction to the essay, which has been continuously updated, most recently in 2022, tells the tale:
In a 1997 Middle East Quarterly article titled “Prince Charles of Arabia,” Ronni L. Gordon and David M. Stillman looked at evidence that Britain’s crown prince might be a secret convert to Islam. They shifted through his public statements (defending Islamic law, praising the status of Muslim women, seeing in Islam a solution for Britain’s ailments) and actions (setting up a panel of twelve “wise men” to advise him on Islamic religion and culture), then concluded that, “should Charles persist in his admiration of Islam and defamation of his own culture,” his accession to the throne will indeed usher in a “different kind of monarchy.”
Charles continues this pattern of admiration and defamation, keeping alive the question of his stealth conversion to Islam. This weblog entry continues to document the topic.
It’s worth looking at the post, which offers endless examples of Charles’s reverence for Islam and disdain for his own country and culture. Even if he’s not a convert, you can see where his heart lies. And, indeed, Daniel Pipes is very careful never to say that he thinks Charles is a Muslim. Indeed, he specifically disavows that. Nevertheless, the fact that Charles has such admiration for Islam is…well, unnerving for someone who is supposed to be a defender of the Christian faith.
An X poster, Dr. Maalouf, doesn’t just stop with saying Charles really loves Islam. He thinks he’s a convert of long standing:
King Charles announces he won’t deliver any Easter message this year.
Back in 1993 he stated: "Islam is part of our past and present. It created a modern Europe. Islam teaches us all lessons that Christianity has lost.”
What’s interesting is that, even as Charles cannot contain his excitement about Islam, he’s much less interested in the most important holiday of the faith he ostensibly defends: Easter. This year, a year in which both in the UK and abroad, Islam is feeling its oats in violent ways, King Charles III, the Defender of the Faith, opted not to issue an Easter greeting.
Admittedly, unlike the British monarch’s annual Christmas greeting, the crown does not regularly issue Easter messages, though Charles did so last year. Also, to be fair, on Thursday, Charles and Camilla attended a Maundy Thursday service in North Wales.
The problem is that Charles just seems much more enthusiastic about Islam. On March 2, 2025, he opened Windsor Castle’s St. George’s Hall to 350+ Muslim guests for an Iftar celebration. Windsor Castle has been the British family’s royal residence since the 11th century. It is a very symbolic location.
During the event, Charles once again made obeisance to Islam:
UK: King Charles won’t give an Easter message to the British people this year as to not offend the nation’s Islamic population. Instead he hosted 360 Muslims in Windsor Castle. The Islamic call to prayer echoed through St George's Hall just last month. pic.twitter.com/9e7qCQGGm5
Then, on Shrove Tuesday of this year ( February 17), Charles made sure to wish his Muslim subjects a “blessed and peaceful Ramadan.”
In other words, Charles is showing no sensitivity toward his Christian subjects, even as he shows increased sensitivity toward his Muslim subjects. This doesn’t mean he’s a Muslim convert, but it means that his emotional tilt is away from the people that the British crown has led since 1066, and the faith that the British crown has defended since 1521 or 1544 (choose your date). Worse from the perspective of Christians in the UK, he has tilted toward a faith that is completely antithetical to—and, indeed, that desires to destroy—the Church of England.
No wonder a lot of people are up in arms. You’d think that, by now, Charles would have figured out that, in fraught times, the British monarch should be proudly carrying the CoE banner, and not making nice with its enemies. That he hasn’t is just one more symbol of Europe’s decline.

The Christ that the legionnaires raise toward the sky while singing “El Novio de la Muerte”, the Legion’s anthem, is not the original image, but a copy; the Cristo de Mena was burned by left-wing Republicans in the infamous burning of convents in 1931. Screengrab .youtube
One of the most iconic images of Holy Week in Spain is the procession of the Spanish Legion in Málaga on Holy Thursday. The legionnaires carry the Cristo de Mena, the Christ of the Good Death, on their shoulders from the Church of Santo Domingo in Málaga to the throne of the Brotherhood of the Congregation of Mena. The Christ of the Good Death, which depicts Christ dying with serenity and acceptance, is known as the Cristo de Mena after its creator, Pedro de Mena, who carved the statue between 1660 and 1665 for the Dominican convent of the Church of Santo Domingo. However, the Christ that the legionnaires raise toward the sky while singing “El Novio de la Muerte”, the Legion’s anthem, is not the original image, but a copy; the Cristo de Mena was burned by left-wing Republicans in the infamous burning of convents in 1931.
On April 14, 1931, the Second Republic was proclaimed. The new order sought to separate church and state, but what it actually did was adopt a radically anti-Catholic agenda, including the dissolution of religious orders, the prohibition of official participation in religious ceremonies, the end of tax exemptions, and the elimination of compulsory religious education. On May 10, the inauguration in Madrid of the Independent Monarchist Circle sparked several riots that resulted in the deaths of two people. The minister of the interior, Miguel Maura, warned the government that groups of left-wing Republicans were organizing to “burn down convents,” but his warnings were ignored. The next day, the Jesuit Casa Profesa went up in flames. Maura insisted on deploying the Civil Guard to control the mobs, but Prime Minister Manuel Azaña replied, “All the convents in Spain are not worth the life of a single Republican.” On the 12th, after eight more religious buildings had been set ablaze, the government took action and stopped the violence, but the wave of convent burnings spread to other parts of Spain, reaching as far as Málaga.
At that time, the Church of Santo Domingo housed the Cristo de Mena and a vast collection of artistic treasures, and it was also the headquarters of many brotherhoods—including those of the Cristo de Mena, El Paso, La Esperanza, Jesús del Rescate, Sagrado Prendimiento, and Humillación—as well as various pious congregations. On the night of May 12, the church was stormed and ransacked by a mob of Republicans. This is how the Málaga newspaper El Cronista reported the events in its May 13 edition:
It was around five in the morning when some groups marched to the Church of Santo Domingo, breaking down the sacristy door and entering the interior, where they began to carry out the same destructive work as in the other places they had passed through. The main door was opened, and through it they began to drag out pews, statues, and furnishings, building massive bonfires in the Santo Domingo Hall and in the church courtyard, which, moments later, were burning in a huge blaze. (…) At eight in the morning, the enraged mob remained in control of the church, and in a massive bonfire they were piling up pews, windows, furniture, and statues that were consumed by the flames.
The Cristo de Mena, after being beaten by the mob, was burned along with other religious images; only part of one leg and one foot of the Christ were spared.
Even before these terrible events, the Cristo de Mena was already the patron and protector of what is now the Legion, which was founded on January 20, 1920, as the Tercio de Extranjeros, an elite military unit formed to fight in the Rif War. Málaga was the destination for legionnaires wounded in the African campaign, so the soldiers began participating in the city’s processions; in 1925, the commander of the Tercio de Extranjeros, Lieutenant Colonel Francisco Franco, took part in the Holy Thursday procession. Three years later, the Tercio asked the Congregation of Mena to make the Cristo de la Buena Muerte their protector and patron. On Holy Thursday in 1930, the Legionnaires disembarked for the first time at the port of Málaga, and the following year, the first Legionary guard was established, from Palm Sunday through Holy Wednesday, before the image of the Holy Christ of the Good Death and Souls in the Chapel of Santo Domingo.
The Legion’s procession and parade returned in 1942, thanks to a replica of the original carving created by sculptor Francisco Palma Burgos, based on photographs of the original Cristo de Mena. That is when the tradition as we know it today was born, with the legionnaires escorting and carrying the Christ on their shoulders, and it has become one of the most powerful and devotional events of Spanish Holy Week.
The number of rape suspects in Austria has more than doubled since 2015, with foreign nationals — and Syrians in particular — driving a disproportionate share of the increase. In addition, foreigners nare now responsible for nearly half of all rapes, a major increase from 2015 as well.
The figures, provided by Austria’s Interior Ministry in response to a request by Austrian newspaper exxpress, paint a striking picture of a decade-long trend.
The composition of those suspects has shifted markedly. In 2015, 250 of the 688 suspects were foreign nationals — 36.3 percent of the total. By 2025, that number had risen to 538, representing 46.9 percent of all suspects, despite foreign nationals making up only 20.5 percent of Austria’s population.
Reported rapes under section 201 of the Austrian criminal code rose from 826 cases in 2015 to 1,359 in 2024 — an increase of roughly 64.5 percent. The number of suspects rose in parallel, from 688 to 1,196.
Preliminary figures for 2025 show a slight decline to 1,147 suspects, but that still represents an increase of around 66.7 percent compared to 2015.
Austrian suspects also increased over the same period, from 438 to 609 — a rise of 39 percent. Foreign suspects, however, rose by 115 percent, more than doubling. The gap between the two trends has widened significantly over the decade.
Approximately 7 to 8 percent of Austrian citizens have a foreign background. It remains unclear what percentage of this population has committed crimes like rape since Austria does not release that statistical information. Austrian suspects are recorded simply as “Austrian” regardless of migration background — country of birth and parental origin are not captured.
Syrians now the largest group
Syrians are at the top of the list in terms of rape suspects. In 2015, just three Syrian suspects were registered for rape. By 2024, that number had reached 92, and in 2025 it climbed further to 101 — making Syrians by far the largest single group among foreign suspects. Roughly one in five foreign rape suspects is now Syrian.
Other nationalities with consistently elevated figures include Afghanistan, which has registered around 50 cases annually for several years, as well as Turkey and Romania.
The Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ) has voiced concern about the limitations of Austria’s data collection. The data also does not break down perpetrators with full asylum and those with subsidiary protection status. As mentioned, the status of those Austrians with a migration background is also not captured.
FPÖ parliamentarian Christian Lausch, who has spent decades working as a prison guard at Vienna’s Josefstadt prison, notes that the absence of this vital data makes it harder to assess the true reality of rape in Austria
Reports of honour-based violence have hit record highs in the Netherlands, driven in large part by the arrival of migrants from Islamic nations such as Syria.
According to a report from the Dutch National Expertise Centre for Honour-related Violence, there were 757 cases of honour violence in 2025, up from 673 during the previous year, a jump of 13 per cent.
The centre found that Syrians accounted for 34 per cent of all reported cases last year. This has increased alongside the massive influx of migrants from the war-torn country over the past decade, with just 37 reported cases involving a Syrian in 2016 compared to 257 in 2025, public broadcaster NOS reports.
Other ethnic groups that are highly represented include Turks at 15 per cent and Moroccans at 11 per cent.
The Head of the National Expertise Centre for Honour-related Violence, Wilfred Janmaat, said per Amsterdam’s De Telegraaf: “We now indeed have a large group coming from Syria, but if many refugees from Yemen had come to our country, the number of honour killings among this group might have been higher.”
“Large new groups are coming to the Netherlands,” Janmaat continued, saying that “honour is an important family theme” in Middle Eastern migrant groups, who have often suffered some form of trauma in their homelands.
“Then they come to the Netherlands, and they have no job. The only thing they can often derive honour from is their family. Then you don’t want gossip, and then shame also plays a major role,” he said.
Broken down by category, 35 per cent of honour cases involved threats, 34 per cent physical abuse, nine per cent some form of coercion, four per cent in rape, three per cent in attempted murder or manslaughter, and one per cent in murder or manslaughter.
Nevertheless, there have still been at least 121 victims of honour-based killings over the past twelve years in the Netherlands. Intriguing, while such killings often grab media headlines when directed at women, more men were recorded as being killed for honour purposes, at 66 killings.
Janmaat said that this often comes as a result of men either being openly homosexual or having entered into an affair with a married woman. Others have faced honour violence for merely posting images of their girlfriends, offending her male family members.
“Because he victimised the girl, he can receive ‘visitors’, or a bomb will go off at his front door,” Janmaat said.
The Netherlands was rocked last year by the honour killing of an 18-year-old girl named Ryan in the northern Dutch town of Joure. She was murdered by her two brothers Mohamed (23) and Muhanad (25) on the orders of their father, Khaled al N.
Her body was found in a swamp in a nearby nature reserve in May of 2024. The court heard that she was wrapped in sixty feet of duct tape and thrown into the water alive. Finding a “significant honour-related component”, the court sentenced her two brothers to 20 years in prison and her father to 30 years. However, the father successfully fled to Syria before being jailed.
A Bangladeshi migrant who tried to abduct two young children from a Cardiff park has been ordered to remain in a secure psychiatric hospital indefinitely.
Moynul Janu, 35, pleaded guilty in March to three counts of attempted child abduction over incidents in July 2025.
Merthyr Crown Court heard Janu approached a four-year-old girl at a splash pad in Victoria Park, Cardiff, before touching his leg against hers.
Her mother quickly pulled her away and warned another parent whose 16-month-old daughter was nearby.
Janu then positioned himself between the two women and declared he was “grabbing the kids”.
He seized both children by the arms before the mothers intervened, blocking him and shouting.
He released the children and walked away, tapping the older girl on the head before speaking into a smartwatch.
The court heard that Janu claimed he was homeless in the UK but looking for work, and had a wife and children in Bangladesh.
Despite being detained at the scene, police drove him to Cardiff city centre and released him.
The court was told both mothers have suffered lasting trauma.
“I am still shocked and astonished that someone could think he could take a child like that,” one mother said.
Her daughter, who has disabilities, now wakes screaming at night, fearing Janu is “coming to get me”.
She described the emotional toll as “unimaginable”.
“I feel angry that someone who would harm children was in the park to begin with,” she added.
The second mother said she had gone to the park to manage anxiety about leaving home.
“On that day I went out to the park with my daughter convincing myself there was nothing to worry about but then a strange man tried to take my child in front of me,” she said.
She is now “too scared” to be alone at home with her children and suffers intrusive thoughts about Janu having weapons or gang links.
The day after the incident, Janu appeared at a nursery in Pencoed, Bridgend.
A staff member became alarmed when he advanced towards her and managed to retreat inside as the doors locked automatically.
Janu then tried to gain entry by pressing buttons and attempting to guess the access code, with 17 children inside.
Defence barrister Andrew Kendall said Janu was suffering from bipolar affective disorder at the time.
“He was a man who at the time of this incident was clearly very unwell,” he said.
The court heard Janu has a complex mental health history and no previous convictions.
He was initially held at HMP Cardiff before being transferred to a secure psychiatric hospital in England.
Judge Richard Kember, citing evidence from two medical experts, ruled Janu must remain detained until he is safe to be released.
He was given a hospital order under Section 37 of the Mental Health Act.
