Allah's Willing Executioners

Israel has warned that the Islamist Iranian regime has demonstrated the capability of using missiles to strike Berlin, London, and Paris and therefore European powers cannot afford to sit on the sidelines of the conflict.

On Friday, Iran attempted a ballistic strike on the British Overseas Territory of the Chagos Islands, likely targeting the UK-U.S. military base on the island of Diego Garcia. The strikes were unsuccessful: one missile reportedly suffered a technical error, and the other was reportedly shot down.

However, despite the apparent failures, the attempted strike may have achieved something more significant than a strike on Diego Garcia, namely a demonstration that Tehran possesses missiles capable of strikes far beyond what had previously been demonstrated.

While Iranian missiles have previously been capped at around 1,240 miles (2,000 kilometres), the Chagos Islands are approximately 2,500 miles (4,000 kilometres) from Iran.

Although the strikes were not successful, and it is unclear exactly how far they made it before being shot down and failing, the potential for Iranian missiles to travel such a length has raised alarm bells in regions once believed to have been out of the strike zone for the mullahs.

Commenting on the development, the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) said on Saturday evening: “During Operation Rising Lion in June 2025, the IDF revealed that the Iranian regime has intentions to develop missiles with a range of 4,000 km, which pose a danger to dozens of countries in Europe, Asia and Africa. The Iranian regime denied this.

“We have been saying it: The Iranian terrorist regime poses a global threat. Now, with missiles that can reach London, Paris or Berlin.

“The Iranian terror regime has carried out attacks against 12 countries in the region and is developing a capability that poses a much broader threat.”

❗️The Iranian terrorist regime launched a long-range missile for the first time since the start of Operation Roaring Lion that could reach a distance of ~4,000 km.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Iran’s newly demonstrated missile range means that European powers no longer have the luxury of staying outside of the conflict.

“They fired an intercontinental ballistic missile on Diego Garcia… They now have the capacity to reach deep into Europe,” Netanyahu said, according to the Times of Israel.

“They are putting everyone in their sights. And [they’re] stopping a maritime international route, energy route, and trying to blackmail the entire world,” he continued. “It’s time to see the leaders of the rest of the countries join up.”

The British Ministry of Defence condemned the “reckless attacks” by Iran, and said that the “lashing out across the region and holding hostage the Strait of Hormuz” is a threat to British interests and British allies.

However, Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper appeared to suggest on Saturday that London’s position has not changed to the conflict, and will only perform defensive actions against attacks from Tehran.

“We will not be drawn into a wider conflict. We were not and continue not to be involved in offensive action, and we’ve taken a different view from the US and Israel on this,” Cooper said per The Times.

“But we are supporting defensive action to support our interests. That includes recognising Iran’s escalating threats to international shipping, as well as their threats to our Gulf partners.”

Britain’s position, including the refusal to use Diego Garcia to launch offensive strikes on Iran, has come under heavy criticism from U.S. President Donald Trump, who has cast the country as America’s “once great ally” and derided Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer for not being up to par with wartime leaders like Sir Winston Churchill.

Sunday, March 22 saw The Danube Institute host a meeting organized by Fidelitas in which Hungarian political leaders, international officials, and young European and American activists took part to discuss the future of Europe, the defense of national sovereignty, and the role of the new generation at a moment that several speakers described as particularly delicate for the continent.

The session was opened by the Institute’s Director of Research, Dr. Calum T. M. Nicholson, who began the conference by recalling the transatlantic character of the institution and the purpose for which it was created: to strengthen the links between Hungary and the Anglosphere, but also to promote a broader intellectual debate about Europe’s political direction.

Nicholson, British-Canadian by origin, explained that his experience living in Central Europe had led him to question the way the Anglosphere usually interprets international politics:

In the Anglosphere we tend to see the world in a very binary way, as if everything were black or white, right or wrong. In this region, by contrast, one learns that history, borders and identity are far more complex.

The researcher pointed to the reality of Central Europe itself, where borders changed repeatedly throughout the twentieth century and where, as he noted, “nations do not always end where we think they end”, an idea he used to underline that current debates about sovereignty, migration or identity cannot be understood through simplified frameworks.

After the opening remarks, András László, Fidesz Member of the European Parliament and member of the Patriots group in the European Parliament, took the floor and focused his intervention on the current political context, which he described as a decisive stage for the continent. “Europe today is living through a time of crossroads,” he told the audience:

We are facing at the same time the consequences of war, migratory pressure, energy problems and a loss of competitiveness that is weakening our economies.

According to the MEP, these crises cannot be understood separately, but as the result of a political model that has gradually moved decision-making away from citizens.

“The central question is who decides about our future. More and more often it is not the nations, but structures that move power further away from the people. Sovereignty is not the problem; its erosion is. Borders are not a danger; their disappearance is,” he argued.

László maintained that the solution is not to dismantle Europe, but to return the leading role to the states and the political communities that built it, and warned that the younger generation will be the one that has to bear the consequences of current decisions, especially on issues such as the war in Ukraine, energy policy, and immigration.

Fidelitas International Director Anna Lakó introduced the part of the meeting dedicated to the debate among young participants, with delegations from several European countries as well as from the United States.

Lakó stressed that the aim of the forum was to strengthen cooperation between conservative youth organizations and to show that a new generation is ready to take part in politics:

Today is not only about listening to speeches, but about taking responsibility. Europe is going through a decisive moment and our generation will have to decide whether it preserves what we have inherited or allows it to be lost.

She thanked the presence of American youth organizations and highlighted the importance of transatlantic cooperation.

The second part of the event featured several young participants, who presented their views on the political situation on both sides of the Atlantic and on the challenges that, in their opinion, will shape the coming years in Europe and in the United States.

One of the most commented interventions was that of a Hungarian student, who summed up the tone of the debate by saying that the current generation is facing a particularly complex historical moment.

“Europe is in a very difficult phase, probably the most important of its recent history, because everything has become political: the economy, culture, security and even everyday life. And when everything becomes political, what is at stake is the very future of our nations,” she said during the discussion.

Participants agreed that the new conservative generations see the current situation as a phase of redefinition of the European project, marked by debates about sovereignty, identity and democratic legitimacy, but also by growing cooperation between political movements that until a few years ago acted separately.

The Budapest meeting is part of a series of forums promoted by Fidelitas and the Danube Institute aimed at strengthening international networks among young political leaders and academics, at a time when, according to several speakers, debates about borders, war, the economy and institutional power are likely to return to the center of European politics in the coming years.

Something changed. And a lot of people are now starting to say it out loud. After the recent scenes in Trafalgar Square, questions are being asked: 👉 How was that allowed to happen? 👉 What message did it send? 👉 And why does it feel like things are different now? In this video, I break down: The event itself — and the reaction to it Comments from London Mayor Sadiq Khan The growing debate around culture, identity, and public space And why more people are starting to push back Because here’s the reality… 👉 People aren’t just reacting to one event 👉 They’re reacting to years of change And for many, it’s reached a tipping point. ⚖️ We also look at: The idea of “British values” — and what that actually means Whether public debate is being shut down with labels And why those labels aren’t working anymore 💬 And it leads to a bigger question: Who decides what a country becomes? Because if people feel unheard for long enough… eventually, they start making themselves heard.

Brodie Mitchell, a British student, has filed a lawsuit against Royal Holloway, University of London, alleging he was suspended after comparing a pro-Palestinian activist’s head covering to a kitchen towel.

According to Mitchell, the incident occurred during an exchange with pro-Palestinian activists at a freshers’ fair on campus.

Mitchell, who describes himself as a “non-Jewish Zionist,” claims that during the exchange, Huda al-Jamal, president of the Friends of Palestine society, referred to him as “someone who wants to be Jewish” and questioned why he does not wear a kippah.

In response, Mitchell said of the keffiyeh worn by al-Jamal: “You’re wearing a kitchen towel on your head.”

In the lawsuit, Mitchell states that disciplinary action was taken against him, and that the day after the incident he was summoned to university offices, where he was informed he would be suspended from his studies for nine weeks due to “behavior that may be considered hate speech.”

He further claims that a police investigation was opened against him on suspicion of “hate speech,” and accuses university officials of denying him the time and resources necessary to complete his degree in politics and international relations.

Mitchell also alleges that he was forced to leave student housing and barred from contacting other students on campus.

He said he is willing to apologize to al-Jamal for his remarks, but does not accept the decision to suspend him. University officials said they will respond to the lawsuit in court.

Chelsea legend and former England captain John Terry has appeared to join calls to ban the burqa in the UK.

Terry’s apparent views were displayed on an Instagram post by Rupert Lowe, the former Reform UK MP who recently launched another political party called Restore Britain.

Lowe, who was once Southampton chairman, shared a post on Instagram of a London Underground station that had Bengali signage on the outside. 

He said: ‘This picture was taken in London. Restore Britain would ban the burqa, and Restore Britain would ensure that all London stations use English, and English only. Enough is enough.

‘Vote Restore Britain to get our capital city back.’

A burqa is the clothing that some Muslim women wear to cover their body apart from a small gap around their eyes. Other European countries such as France have previously banned it in public. 

Terry commented on Lowe’s post as he replied with three clapping emojis and an England flag. 

This caused a stir as the former defender faced a backlash, but Lowe shared another post leaping to the defence of Terry.

He posted the same picture and added: ‘I see that England/Chelsea legend John Terry is taking some flak for applauding Restore Britain’s policy of banning the burqa and ensuring that all London stations use English, and English only.

‘This is the position the vast majority of the British people support.

‘There is now a political party that will say exactly what people think and fight to make it happen. Restore Britain.

‘If we get called names? WHO CARES. It does not matter. We do not care, and nor should you. This isn’t 2015 anymore. These insults mean nothing.

‘More people need to show some courage and stand up for what the majority thinks.

‘Restore Britain is doing exactly that. We are going to get our country back.’

Lowe’s original post came earlier this month, with his specific defence of Terry being shared on Sunday morning.

The 68-year-old, who represents Great Yarmouth, was elected as a Reform UK MP in 2024 before he was later suspended and left the party following allegations of threatening behaviour towards a colleague and workplace bullying.

Schoolchildren as young as 10 have been told to read a book that depicts a family whose father is transitioning to a woman.

Nothing Ever Happens Here by Sarah Hagger-Holt, which follows a 12-year-old whose father transitions into “Danielle”, was included among titles sent to the parents of a Year 6 pupil by their school.

The book appears on the School Reading List, a website utilised by educators seeking classroom materials and parents searching for suitable books for their children.

Teachers and parents are said to use the list for recommendations for their young children.

The inclusion of such subject matter for pupils aged 10 and 11 has drawn concern from parents and campaigners alike.

The mother who received the list expressed immediate alarm upon discovering the title among recommendations for her child’s age group.

“Why do they need to read about a man wanting to transition to become a woman at such a young age?” she questioned.

She confirmed she would not be selecting the book for her own child.

The book, published in 2020, has received crushing criticism in online reviews.

“This is grooming children to cooperate and please their fathers. I hate to think how this could do damage to vulnerable kids,” one reader said.

Another commented: “Chose the book by its cover. Got traumatised for life.”

“This is an awful book on many levels. As it’s basically a propaganda piece for aggressively pro-trans organisation Stonewall, it doesn’t bother with anything like good dialogue, description or humour,” a third said.

A fourth declared: “‘This book grooms children for emotional abuse’ – these are the words of a REAL child whose father transitioned, in their review of this book. The book is little more than a piece of propaganda from an author who works for Stonewall – whose major area of campaigning is for the rights of adult males to self-identify as females.”

The novel also appears in a separate list titled: “LGBTQIA+ themed books for primary-aged children”.

On this list description, it says: “School libraries should endeavour to feature LGBTQIA+ themed books for primary-aged children to help foster understanding, reflect diversity, and promote acceptance, ultimately contributing to a more comprehensive and inclusive educational environment.”

Fiona McAnena, of sex-based rights charity Sex Matters, condemned the recommendation in forthright terms.

“This is barely disguised activism that runs counter to safeguarding,” she said. “It is irresponsible to teach that they must accept a man who says he is a woman.”

She further noted that teaching resources accompanying the book “even imply a child reacting negatively to their father identifying as female is a potential character flaw”.

The website has defended its position on the matter. School Reading List stated: “We take age suitability seriously and stand by our decision to recommend it for Year 6.”

The British Empire was the largest in history. With colonies on every continent, it covered more than a quarter of the earth’s land and governed over a fifth of the world’s population. Besides dominating military, economic, diplomatic, and political affairs, it transformed the world by spreading Western values, customs, and culture, as well as ideas such as individualism, rationalism, capitalism, and modern scientific thought. That influence continues in the educational, legal, and parliamentary systems of many countries.

But Britain is now a shadow of its former self, having allowed its institutions, the media, academia, and the public to be heavily influenced by Islam, which the late Christopher Hitchens described as “the most toxic form that religion can take.” Fashionable deference to Islam—the government, for example, treats even the most innocuous criticism of Islam as “hate speech”—has caused a noticeable shift in power, identity, and influence, and it may not be long before Britain becomes an Islamic state.

The Muslim population is projected to exceed 8% by 2030. There are over 2,000 mosques, more than 85 sharia courts challenge British common law, sharia finance is growing in popularity, halal food is widespread, and the government recognizes Islamic holidays with an enthusiasm that would shame many Muslim countries. Iftars are hosted at the House of Commons, and Ramadan prayers are offered at Windsor Castle, a symbol of Britain’s historical pre-eminence.

For years, public discourse has been filled with discussions about Britain’s Islamization. U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance once joked that Britain might be the first truly Islamic country to acquire nuclear weapons. Elon Musk criticized U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer for ignoring Muslim sex grooming gangs that exploit children and for remaining silent on Pakistani rape gangs when he was Britain’s director of public prosecution. But governments—especially Labour Party governments—have consistently ignored the warning signs and have encouraged Islam by permitting mass migration and giving in to every demand made by Muslim groups.

Examples are plentiful of Britain’s decline into submission to Islam and the replacement of its Western culture by sharia. Guidance documents for schools from Labor-run city councils in northern England warn educators that drawing and music lessons could be considered blasphemous to Islam. The Green Party of England and Wales plans to change school curricula to teach children that it is their moral duty to welcome immigrants. In the name of raising awareness about a religion from another culture, children too young to question their teachers are being brainwashed.

While the authorities go out of their way to accommodate Islam, they have no hesitation about attacking Christianity or being lenient with those who criticize it.

• Hatun Tash, a Turkish-born British citizen and former Muslim, was arrested twice for preaching Christianity and criticizing the Quran at Hyde Park’s Speakers’ Corner, a stronghold of free speech. Ironically, she was the victim in these incidents and has been stabbed and beaten by Muslims more than once.
• Daniel Ayettey, a pastor, was pulled off a ladder and threatened with a knife by a Muslim asylum seeker from Sudan who had 29 previous convictions for 67 offenses. The attacker was spared jail by a judge.
• A police officer instructed a group of gospel-sharing Christians to stop their activities.
• A preacher was detained for questioning a Muslim woman about Quranic verses related to domestic violence.
• Christmas markets across the UK were canceled in 2025, with city councils claiming they lacked funds, while money was allocated for Ramadan and Eid celebrations nationwide.

Perhaps the most powerful symbolic statement by Muslims was a recent Iftar gathering in London’s Trafalgar Square. Over 3,000 Muslims assembled for evening prayers, which started with the adhan; London Mayor Sadiq Khan attended and distributed dinner packages. When senior conservative Nick Timothy objected to the event, describing a public call of Allahu akbar as “a declaration of domination,” Starmer called for his removal as shadow justice secretary.

Islamist influence is already evident in self-proclaimed “Muslim areas” of London, where the vigilante Muslim London Patrol confronts passersby and advises them not to drink alcohol or wear short dresses. A 2013 report details how its volunteers scold non-Muslims and tell them to stay away from mosques. Gay men are called “dirty” and asked to leave.

Muslims are heard saying that England is not a Christian country and that Islam is on the rise. Anjem Choudary, a prominent radical preacher and Sharia court judge now serving a life sentence for terrorist activities, once led the Islamic Emirates Project, aiming to turn 12 British cities into independent Islamic states outside of British law.

Meanwhile, ignoring widespread expressions of Jew-hatred by Muslims, the British government has taken steps to define anti-Muslim hatred and Islamophobia. Currently, hate crimes against Muslims are twice as likely to result in prosecution as hate crimes against Jews. Antisemitism is blatant and rampant: Muslim mobs chant “Death to Israel” and call for the murder of Jews; at anti-Israel rallies, protesters mention a historic 7th-century battle against Jewish tribes, shouting Khaybar, Khaybar, oh Jews, the army of Mohammad will return; and Muslim clerics promote Jew hatred and support terrorist groups like Hamas. Significant efforts are made—by the government as well as the liberal media—to downplay such antisemitism.

But even perceived offenses to Muslim sensibilities invoke the wrath of the law, as West London restaurateur Harnam Singh Kapoor learned. Kapoor, a Sikh, has a sign at his restaurant Rangrez that says, “Proudly Non Halal Restaurant.” For this, he faced threats and confrontations from Muslim groups, while he and his wife received phone calls warning that their daughter would be raped by grooming gangs. To protect himself and his family, he began carrying a kirpan, a Sikh ceremonial dagger. On March 14, after Kapoor called for a non-halal meet-up at his restaurant, over 100 people gathered around the premises, chanting slogans. When he contacted the police, they arrested him instead.

The extent to which the British government is willing to accommodate Muslim practices is clear in its choice to normalize cousin marriage, ignoring scientific evidence that shows it increases the risk of inheriting recessive disorders. According to a Bradford study, the rate of cousin or relative marriage among immigrant Muslims reaches as high as 46%. This practice is banned in Norway and most American states and is set to be banned in Sweden. Last year, Conservative MP Richard Holden proposed a bill for a similar ban in the U.K.

But the National Health Service (NHS) has directed its doctors and nurses to stop issuing blanket discouragements against the practice to Muslim families. They were informed that giving such advice is “unacceptable.” It even published a report—now withdrawn—praising the “benefits” of cousin marriage, and advertised for nurses to support families choosing close-relative marriages. Holden was outraged that public funds were being used to address a custom that should be banned outright.

As conservative commentator Patrick West writes in The Spectator: Should British culture be allowed to be diluted by a “self-abasing and cowardly coterie of white liberals,” all in the “dread names of multiculturalism, diversity, and inclusivity”? Can the British public genuinely support the idea that Muslims need special laws and protections in addition to those protecting other citizens?

How much longer before the once-greatest empire on earth is surpassed by Islam?

GB News presenter and academic Matt Goodwin joins Emma Trimble for a hard-hitting conversation about his sobering new book “SUICIDE OF A NATION: Immigration, Islam & Identity”. Matt believes we have just ONE election left to save Britain. If we do not act fast, we risk losing the Britain we know and love forever.

Since mid-February, a total of six men, three Iraqis and three Syrians between the ages of 24 and 30, are on trial for a terrifying robbery of a jewelry store in the German city of Kassel.

The group is said to have worn horror clown masks while breaking into the home of a Turkish family who owned a jewelry store. Once they tied them up, they threatened and beat them before stealing gold, jewelry, and around €135,000 in cash. Five of the six defendants are facing trial for a series of severe charges, including joint aggravated robbery, extortion, and conspiracy to commit burglary. One defendant is also facing a separate charge for possession of child pornography.

According to the prosecution, the group targeted the home of a 58-year-old jeweler in a highly organized attack. Investigators state that several members of the group broke into the residence, where they bound and gagged the jeweler’s wife and other relatives.

When the jeweler arrived home, he was allegedly held at gunpoint while the perpetrators demanded the keys to his shop. While some members of the group stayed behind to guard the hostages, others drove to Kassel city center, where they looted jewelry, gold, and approximately €135,000 in cash.

Prosecutor Andreas Thöne noted during Monday’s proceedings that the group was meticulously prepared. The defendants reportedly wore masks and carried cable ties to restrain their victims. They also utilized two “deceptively real” Airsoft weapons to threaten the victims.

The victims were gagged and bound for a long period of time and systematically beaten, including facial bruising, skull hematomas, and lacerations.

During the trial, the victim’s lawyer described how the Turkish family had saved money and worked hard for years to open their own store. The wife of the owner took care of mentally disabled relatives.

However, the robbery has shattered their lives, and the Turkish man lost his shop since he had never bought an insurance policy. He still has an outstanding loan of €90,000, which he has to repay. The couple, along with their mentally disabled relatives who were present, all suffer psychological consequences to this day. The family has since sold the house and left town due to the terror they experienced.

One suspect determined to have “diminished responsibility”

Although four defendants regularly consumed alcohol and illegal drugs, the expert witness, a doctor, stated that only one suspect had “diminished responsibility.”

“Everyone had a difficult childhood. But there are major differences in what the consequences of this can be,“ stated Dr. Peter Reinhold-Hildenhagen, a specialist in psychiatry and psychotherapy, before the 11th Criminal Chamber of the Kassel District Court as he submitted his report.

He was speaking about four defendants whom he had to examine more closely during the trial. The expert reports deal with the question of whether the defendants can be assumed to have diminished responsibility and whether placement in a withdrawal facility is an option.

Four of the defendants involved in this raid had stated that they regularly consumed drugs and alcohol. Therefore, the criminal chamber had appointed the expert shortly after the start of the trial.

In the end, the expert concluded that all four men had been addicted to narcotics in various forms before committing the crimes, according to German newspaper HNA. However, only the 30-year-old Iraqi was determined to have “diminished capacity,” which means the psychiatrist believes he is not as responsible for his actions as the others.

“What distinguishes this defendant from the others?“ asked Prosecutor Janne Wißing.

According to Reinhold-Hildenhagen, the 30-year-old had not only consumed more drugs than the other defendants after a relapse, but he had also been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder and post-traumatic embitterment disorder. Reinhold-Hildenhagen claimed this latter disorder is often found among refugees due to “extremely unjust” and “humiliating” experiences.

The expert stated that the men all experienced war and poverty. The 30-year-old Iraqi stated that he was regularly beaten by his father. At 16, he left his parental home for Baghdad. In 2018, he left for Europe, stopping in Istanbul and Athens.

After three asylum applications were rejected in Greece, he obtained false papers to get to Germany, and remained abstinent for two years.

Eventually, his asylum application was also rejected in Germany, but once he started training as a geriatric nurse, his deportation was halted.

It was, however, not long before personal problems and money worries led him to relapse in December 2024, one month before the robbery of the jeweler and his family.

Falk Werhahn, defense attorney for a 30-year-old Iraqi, claimed his client “could have become a model example of integration.” Werhahn said he had learned the language very well and was a favorite of his patients.

“He ruined his whole life,” said Werhahn.
