France: After broadcasting a TV programme on Islamism, the TV presenter is now also threatened following threats against witnesses
Since the broadcast of the documentary, the lawyer Amine Elbahi, who can be seen in several sequences, is said to have received death threats. “My phone number circulated on social networks, several calls for murder were spread. I am threatened with beheading, slitting my throat and with attacking me for making a truthful speech especially about the inaction of the mayor of my municipality,” he told BFMTV. It seems, however, that he is not the only one. According to Nicolas de Tavernost, Ophelie Meunier, the presenter of “Zone interdite”, was the target of threatening messages that made it necessary to put her under police protection.
On Friday January the 28th, the CEO of the M6 Broadcasting Group was heard by the Senate’s Commission of Inquiry into Media Concentration. When asked if he had interfered with the editorial policy of his stations, he defended himself by referring to the said issue of the news magazine. “In order to do my job, I am forced to judge a number of criteria. Let me give you a very specific example: We made a programme called ‘Zone interdite’ which caused quite a stir. We discussed this programme. If you call that interference, Mr Assouline [rapporteur of the Committee of Inquiry, note], then I interfered in that programme.
I have asked if we have guarantees that it is not an “extremist” programme, I have asked if the presenter who is being threatened is protected, I have asked if the witnesses who are speaking are well anonymised, etc.,” he said, adding: “I have done the job that I think I have to do on a programme whose decision is ultimately mine. I claim to have approved this programme. But only because I was asked to do it. It could have been decided otherwise. I consider it my duty to take responsibility: If you call that interfering, I call it doing my duty”.
France: More than 200 Christian graves vandalised in Houdain cemetery (VIDEO)
On the graves you can see the traces of the stolen Christ figures. Very often only the cross is left. On the stelae you can see some nails, a sign that there was a metal rose or plate there. On Friday morning, the families whose graves were looted in this way are shocked. “We are outraged, we are angry. To do something like this in a cemetery, you really have to be totally deluded,” some lamented. “This is unthinkable, this is deplorable,” said others. The crimes occurred on the night of Tuesday to Wednesday last week.More than 200 graves were vandalised. The perpetrators knew a lot about metals: They had pliers and tools with them. Some metal parts were found in the passageways, by the way. For the mayor of the municipality, this is a new occurrence. The police have of course launched an investigation, but at this stage there are very few clues. On Saturday, the Houdain Municipality will be exceptionally open all day so that families can come and report the thefts found.

Historic number of irregularities in 2021 German election
Four months after the German elections, some 2 100 objections were lodged with the so-called Bundestag Election Review Committee regarding voting irregularities.
This is reported by the magazine Business Insider citing sources in “committee circles”. The number is a historic record for objections lodged against elections in Germany.
In the past, between 80 and 300 lawsuits were common, and only in 1994 was there a clear outlier with 1 450 objections. Most of the submissions against the election came from Berlin.
Four months ago, the chaos of the elections in the capital caused outrage across Germany: There were numerous problems in dozens of polling stations in the capital, including unreasonable queues, missing ballot papers and polling station relocations at short notice.
As a result, not only did the official concerned Petra Michaelis have to resign, but her colleague Georg Thiel also lodged an objection with the Bundestag against the outcome of the elections in several districts.
The election committee members, nine members of the Bundestag, must now check whether there was actually an electoral error that violated the federal election law, the federal electoral code or the constitution. The reported electoral error may have had an impact on the distribution of seats in the Bundestag.
While Michaelis denied this in a secret report to Thiel, the latter has signalled his objection to the Bundestag, noting that there were violations in several Berlin constituencies, involving tens of thousands of Berlin voters.
If the committee follows suit, the election could be repeated in these districts. The entire Bundestag would then have to decide with a simple majority on the basis of a corresponding recommendation from the Election Review Committee.

Austria: 16-year-old Islamist arrested on suspicion of terrorist activities
A young man from Vienna was arrested after he repeatedly posted questionable videos of him using firearms on Instagram and committing criminal acts. In addition, there is suspicion of Islamist tendencies, which are now being investigated. The 16-year-old boy is in police custody for the time being.
A 16-year-old Viennese is said to have posted several questionable videos showing him handling firearms. “In addition, there are indications that the youth at least sympathises with Islamist ideology,” the Ministry of the Interior (BMI) reported on Saturday. During a house search, another alarm pistol including ammunition, a combat knife, a mobile phone and other electronic data carriers were seized.
According to the Federal Ministry of the Interior, the accused had posted several videos on Instagram in which he fires shots with a handgun out of a window and in a parking lot and expresses his interest in purchasing ammunition. It later turned out that they were deceptively real-looking alarm pistols. On New Year’s Eve, according to investigators, he posted further videos showing him and another youth blowing up a chewing gum machine with pyrotechnics and pointing a firearm at a group of people standing in the distance.
After the identity of the 16-year-old had been established, he was stopped together with two other youths in a stolen vehicle with stolen licence plates. “The forensic evaluation of the seized data carriers and the investigation of possible radical Islamist connections as well as the identification of further suspects are currently underway,” the Federal Ministry of the Interior said. The 16-year-old was temporarily arrested.

The Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region will not be sidetracked. It has decided to withdraw its subsidies for the cultural festival Street art fest Grenoble Alpes, as France Bleu reported on Friday January the 28th. The reason for the anger is a stencil fresco depicting a veiled woman and a yellow star reading “muslim”. However, this work, created by the artist Goin, has been in the Rue Hébert in Grenoble for several months and is not part of the festival.
Via a statement quoted by France Bleu, the region explained the reasons that had led it to make such a decision: “Apart from the historical lie transported, this artistic provocation, as unacceptable as it is dangerous, only serves the extremes and constitutes an incitement to hatred and violence”.
For his part, the founder and director of the street art festival – Jérôme Catz – asked the region to revise its decision. Any normally educated person who makes a decision based on false information takes it back,” he told local radio. “Or the decision is dishonest, but far be it from me to believe that they are dishonest. Or it is a pretext, but I don’t see what they could accuse us of”.
The region was to provide the festival with 10 000 euros out of a total budget of 600 000 euros, as reported by the media. Even if the withdrawal does not significantly affect the organisation of the festival, it is rather the gesture that worries Jérôme Catz. “This festival was able to bring together subsidies from the city of Grenoble, the metropolitan region and the region, which are politically neutral. That made us proud,” he continued. “They all agreed that the importance of this event was recognised”.
The work, which has been on display in Grenoble for eight months, has only recently been disturbing, as the director of the Grenoble Alpes Street Art Fest tells our journalists. “The work has an impassioned message, indeed. The name of the work is “Bad religion?”, as if the artist were asking if there are people today who are stigmatised because of their religion,” he argued. He concluded, not without bitterness, by saying, “For me, it’s clearly a matter of the political agenda of the media, which, strangely enough, comes just before the presidential elections.” On Thursday, the fresco was damaged: the woman’s face and the star were painted over with black paint.
Former Terrorist Now a Member of Dutch Parliament…
Since 2011, Soumaya Sahla has been the right hand of the VVD celebrity Frits Bolkestein, 88. She was never a problem for the party until Geert Wilders rang the bell, and her past was revealed during the Second Chamber (Parliament) talks over the coalition accord. The mainstream media and the (2nd) Chamber were furious that Wilders came forward, he was “racist”. Until big objections arose against her from the VVD itself, “How can this be, why didn’t we know?”. A spicy detail is that Geert Wilders himself enjoyed the mentorship of van Bolkestein as a faction member of the VVD. It is completely right that Wilders came forward. Fortunately, there is still someone awake in the 2nd Chamber.
It would be appropriate if the mainstream media swiftly offered their apologies to Wilders. Naturally, they won’t do that. The moral level of the mainstream media and Chamber members is lousy, but that’s not news. Ignore the potential danger of a dangerous threat.
Soumaya is working on a dissertation on “the orthodox, religious worldview”. Sahla is Muslim, fine. But she was and perhaps still is orthodox, Islamist, Salafist. I hope that she will also read the books by Christopher Hitchens, “God is not great” and by Afshin Ellian, “Allah does not know better”. They (would) save her a lot of work.
Islam has the controversial practice of taqiyya. It would allow Muslims, “for the good cause” to feign integration and moderation, to emerge like a devil out of a box as a true Muslim if that makes sense. So in England, in part of London, sharia law applies. Here no. Do (Kauthar) Bouchallikht and Sahla practice taqiyya? We’ll never know.
The next question is how is Kauthar Bouchallikht doing, also with her “fine past”. She is keeping a low profile and so is the Green-Left (party). Incomprehensible that these women with a terrible history, got through the beauty commission of our political parties. It works every time. Where is the thinking? This cannot be?!
They are, indeed, “clean women”. Somaya Sahla is herself stunning in a pretty suit in order to come across as especially adapted. Would she “tickle” Bolkestein in his (sensitive) place? What do you think?
Bolkestein has been a first-class mop throughout his unimpressive political career. A frightfully vain fellow, as I once noticed during a seminar on Islam. He is a man who says A but shrinks from B. He thought that we and (Pim) Fortuyn would cut a sorry figure internationally. Now he has made a fool of himself. Justifiably, this dull party is in a heavy downward trend.
