Allah's Willing Executioners

Having jumped the shark years ago, the liberal media establishment no longer has to pass the laugh test. It is free to excrete headlines like this one from the Washington Post:

Tax season is getting longer. Blame climate change.

The reasoning (if you can call anything related to Democrat ideology “reasoning”):

The Earth’s warming climate is altering everything from animal migration patterns to when plants bloom. It’s also changing when Americans file taxes: As severe storms and natural disasters worsened by climate change afflict broader swaths of the country, the IRS is issuing more extensions for individuals and businesses to cope with the fallout sooner and pay taxes later.

If you can believe that global warming makes baseball players hit too many home runs, you should have no problem swallowing this story too.

What causes the supposed global warming? Could it be the perpetual fluctuation that has always characterized the climate and always will? No. It is bad things that humans do, like produce food— not just meat, but even rice:

At least the climate doesn’t mind if we eat bugs.

The reserve wing of the German Army only truly exists on paper, as its troops are not properly equipped and have not received adequate training, the head of the German Reserve Soldiers’ Association has claimed.

In an interview with the German newspaper Stuttgarter Zeitung, retired Lieutenant Colonel Patrick Sensburg, a former CDU member of parliament, said he believes the reserves are badly managed and significantly underfunded.

“It’s really a force that exists largely on paper,” said the retired lieutenant colonel.

The German government is paying more attention to improving its army after the outbreak of the war between Russia and Ukraine, but with the Bundeswehr underfunded for years, this is no easy task. The reserve forces are seen as an important part of the modernization plan, but the head of the Reserve Forces Association says they are far from their targets and appear more like a phantom army than a valuable component of the country’s defense.

Huge numbers, few trained soldiers

The officially registered total of reservists is around 930,000, a figure that is so high because the law in Germany stipulates that anyone who has previously served in the army is a permanent reservist. However, the true figure of individuals who have recent military training or have been classified as active is as few as 34,000.

Reservists in the regular forces have to beg for uniforms, even routine military training such as target practice is difficult to obtain, and they have no military vehicles. According to Sensburg, at most, reservists are only allowed to use civilian cars, and most bizarrely, reserve tank commanders receive no training on real tanks.

Instead, maneuvers are carried out on foot, and soldiers are not obliged to participate in exercises.

The reserves would have a wide range of tasks in a crisis, from guarding power stations and transporting the wounded to filling in gaps on the front line, but Sensburg says they are currently unable to do these things.

The veteran officer said it was clear that increasing the number of equipment, vehicles, and weapons available to the reserves was the first step, but a change in the organizational structure of the reserve force was also needed. Sensburg added that at the very least, reserve soldiers should be required to complete a two-week training course every two years.

By comparison, the British Army Reserve Wing requires soldiers to serve 27 days a year, and if reservists meet this requirement, they receive a cash reward or “bounty.”

A group of 25 Christian inmates are planning legal action against the Prison Service for failing to protect them from violent Islamist gangs.

Lawyers for the prisoners say wardens have allowed the groups to take control because they fear being accused of racism.

The gangs offer ‘protection’ to those who convert to Islam and punish those who refuse, even threatening family members on the outside.

Wardens have moved Christian inmates to solitary confinement for their own protection rather than dealing with the problem, it is claimed.

Last night, former Tory leader Iain Duncan Smith called on prison governors to stamp out the gangs, as a group of barristers plan a class-action legal challenge to force them into action. Several Government reports have identified the gangs as a growing menace, with one warning last year that some were running Sharia courts and dishing out punishments such as floggings.

Criminal barrister Tony Wyatt has clients serving entire sentences in ‘the block’ – an isolation wing usually reserved for dangerous prisoners – as they refused to convert to Islam.

Mr Wyatt said: ‘We have reached a point where these so-called Islamic gangs seem to run our prisons. This problem has been left to fester and grow for 20 years. There is now no conceivable fix which does not include a fundamental overhaul of the prison system. For years, misguided political correctness made wardens hesitant to call out what was happening, but now it’s too late. These groups are now so big that there just aren’t enough prison staff to take them on.

‘Successive governments have effectively surrendered our prisons to an organised crime group. The fear of identifying these gangs as Muslim stems from a fear of what the outraged response will be, as no one wants to be accused of racism.

‘These gangs are taking advantage of that. Everything they do, everything they stand for, goes against the Koran. They are an organised crime group and use Islam as a shield to protect themselves.’

Mr Wyatt said he is aware of dozens of cases where prisoners have been isolated for years in bare cells usually reserved for disruptive inmates.

One client, convicted drug offender Richard Caswell, has witnessed the rise of the gangs over the last 20 years. He said they became ’emboldened’ in the wake of 9/11 and started ‘throwing their weight around’.

Mr Wyatt and colleagues are now planning to launch a class-action judicial review on behalf of at least 25 Christian prisoners being held in isolation for their own protection.

A man who disguised himself as a woman by wearing a burka made it past the fourth round of the Kenya Chess Championship in Nairobi before arousing suspicion.

The chess player, 25-year-old Stanley Omondi, who kept his identify a secret by not speaking to anyone at the tournament, registered under the alias Millicent Awuor.

But he was discovered after he won matches against former Kenyan national champion Gloria Jumba and top Ugandan player Ampaira Shakira.

At that point, players and the arbiters began to get suspicious. When Omondi made it past the fourth round, he was taken into a private room and staff demanded to see identification. It was then that he admitted he was a male university student desperate for money.

Once he was found out, Omondi was kicked out of the championship. His points were given to his female opponents.

The Kenya Open Chess Championship features 450 players from 22 chess federations. It has a top prize of $42,000.

During Ramadan, the feminist and anti-racist Muslim organisation Lallab launched a digital campaign on March 27 to combat violence within the community. A way to anonymously spread the messages of Muslim women who are addressing issues that are still taboo.

“It is often the law of silence. They can’t report the assaults they are subjected to because they are told that they would betray the cause and that you don’t wash your dirty linen in public.”

Lallab has collected around 50 testimonies that talk about incest, women wearing headscarves who feel stigmatised by their own families, or sexism experienced in the mosque. Some have already been published anonymously on their social networks and the violence of the reports shows that there is an urgent need for action. Above all, the organisation tries to create spaces for conversations, as the victims are not always being believed in their environment.

“What does it take for Muslim women to feel safe in mosques and in their families, to be invited to family dinners without fear of experiencing violence because they said something? “, Fatima Bent wonders.

These statements will be used to organise the counter-offensive, because Lallab, is also a place of mobilisation for Muslim women, available all year round. They organise self-defence courses as well as training. Le Mouv’

When asked “if we should stop non-European immigration to France,” more than six out of 10 French people (64%) answer “yes,” according to a poll for CNEWS by Consumer Science & Analytics (CSA) published on Wednesday, April 12.

According to the same survey, 36% of respondents answered “no,” thus opposing this idea.

The latest poll generally aligns with previous polls on the topic of immigration in France, which show the French are overwhelmingly opposed to mass immigration. However, this poll also shows that women are slightly more in favor of the idea of stopping non-European migration flows than men (61 percent), a finding that generally contrasts with polls from other countries like the United States, Germany, Sweden and Finland. In general, polling finds that women are generally more open to the idea of mass immigration in Western countries.

The poll also contains novel results regarding the age distribution of those rejecting mass immigration. The demographic answering “yes” at the highest rates is the 50-64 age group (68 percent), followed by the 25-34-year-olds (66 percent). Anti-immigration sentiment, therefore, is more evenly distributed among French society’s generations compared to Anglo countries like the U.S. and Britain, where the younger generation is far more accepting of open borders and lax immigration policy than the older generations.

Considering the sociological profile of the respondents, the least favored socio-professional categories are the most firm (71 percent) about stopping non-European immigration on French soil.

Then come the employed or those not working (62 percent) who answer “yes” to stopping this form of immigration, and finally, the upper socio-professional categories, with nearly six out of 10 French people (59 percent) here answering “yes.”

A very pronounced left-right divide

Unsurprisingly, the political divide on the issue is reflected in the results of this CSA poll for CNEWS.

In fact, 94 percent of those polled who said they were on the right were in favor of stopping non-European migration to France. As previous polls have shown in France, a majority of the left is also opposed, with 63 percent in the CSA poll saying “yes.”

However, a majority (70 percent) of the far-left France Insoumise party answered “no” to the question, signaling their support for non-European immigration. On the other hand, respondents close to the National Rally are almost unanimous, with 99 percent saying they would say “yes” to stopping such immigration.

Opinions are more balanced in the center. Those close to the Renaissance (56%), however, were more in favor of stopping it.
