Escape From Rotherham

Rotherham child sexual abuse: Six men jailed. Iqlak Yousaf, Nabeel Kurshid, Mohammed Imran Ali Akhtar, Tanweer Ali, Salah Ahmed El-Hakam and Asif Ali were found guilty after a trial. South Yorkshire Police

Rotherham.  Their rape gang scandal first came to public attention in the 1990s.  I don’t recall where I read about it first, but what took place was more than shocking.   Young British girls, almost all underage, many not even teens, were systematically drugged; groomed; and violently, serially gang-raped by men of Pakistani heritage.  Many if not most of the perpetrators were second-generation immigrants.  Let’s just say they didn’t assimilate very well.

Rotherham was the face of this insanity, and for a while it was reported here (not enough), but not much in Britain.  Rarely by the British media.

What is especially evil is how authorities, from police to elected politicians and judges, including many common Brits, reacted to these early charges.  These accusations of rape, when reported on, were deemed “racist” and therefore untrue according to the British media.  Police and officials joined this insane reaction.  They would not investigate or charge these men for fear of getting tagged as racist.

Think about how degenerately weird a culture can become.  A once great nation got onto their knees, virtually apologizing to those who were the wrongdoers when it was discovered their daughters were having their lives destroyed.  There were some parents who tried to get justice when they found out their daughters were being raped.  If you thought things were disgusting already, wait for it.  These parents were often arrested and forced to stay silent by the entire justice system.  And the media.  Even now.

There’s more.  As it turns out, it wasn’t just in Rotherham, or one area of Britain.  This was actually happening in most British towns everywhere at the same time.  The same M.O.  Gangs of mostly Pakistani men drugging, raping, and grooming an entire generation of underage British girls.  It’s hard to comprehend how widespread this was.  We learned recently that there were at least 250,000 young girls experiencing this horror show.  Jordan Peterson claimed it was likely greater than half a million and possibly as many as a million girls.  This is possibly the most horrific rape scandal of all time, anywhere.  And we’re now learning about similar happenings in most European countries.

Strange aside: The “Metooers” never mention this scandal.  Feminists never came alongside any of the victims.  They’re busy pointing out the Cornell 7 now to feel good about themselves.  Well, at least they’re not racist.

When an entire culture and a worldwide feminist movement cannot protect young women for fear of being called racist, it’s gone beyond being politically correct and straight to a mass psychosis ruining an entire nation.  A whole generation, destroyed.  

It began with the British elites deciding to import the Third World to do their labor on the cheap.  It continued when the third-worlders did not assimilate, nor appreciate the culture they came into.  And like all good liberals, the elites decided they could count on the votes of these third-worlders, so they pandered, allowing massive numbers more to come, legally and illegally. 

One underlying premise British elites believed was all cultures were equal, except their own, which was not just sub-par, but embarrassingly bad.  They had their eyes turned inward and saw that everything good should be painted black.  This was Howard Zinn hatred of your own people in spades. 

C.S. Lewis said long ago, “We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise.  We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst.  We castrate and bid the geldings be fruitful.”  This is how England fell — from within.  Because they could not embrace who they were, they became a people who confused honor with not wanting to be called racist.  They said nothing as an entire generation of young girls were savaged.  Because, convinced their culture was defective, they simply forgot how to see and live against evil with truth.

Britain and most of Western Europe have made the same mistake with the same consequences.  They are the poster child for immigration policy gone wrong.  Third-worlders turning their host nation into the third world.  Looting, rapes, beheadings, stabbings, rioting, burning cars and stores.  We see these daily, with way too little pushback.  I’m happy they have finally begun to wake up but fear it may be too late.

But it’s not too late here…yet.

One of the superpowers of Donald Trump has been simply to tell uncomfortable truths to power.  He rejected the political mushiness we developed, the embarrassment of political correctness, and replaced it with straight talk.  He’s an adult who said the emperor had no clothes.  He has slain the P.C. dragon and halted what I call the Zinnification of America (learning hatred of ourselves and our ideals).  For most on Trump’s side, we can be proud of America again, proud of our heritage, proud of the greatness of our past, proud that we will have an exciting future. 

That is one of the best and most important things he has done for us all.  We no longer need feign hatred for American ideals.  We no longer need stay silent as the left batters us with false narratives: being racist, sexist, homophobic, greedy capitalist pigs.  We may have warts, but clearly, we were given a heritage to put on a lamp stand.  The results of the American experiment have been a smashing success.  We can say that with pride.

Pointing out that illegal immigration was ruining our country was his first accomplishment.  George W. Bush tried to tell us we were racist if we didn’t want illegals here, as did every Democrat.  Thankfully, Trump annihilated that sentiment, made it possible to point out the simple, obvious truth that we had to stop it.  We did not want to become the Third World.  He is now deporting the Third World.

There are a lot of other areas he has used his straight talk to speak real truth to power.  Women in men’s sports and locker rooms; men and women are different; if you are an immigrant or visitor, you shouldn’t be here if you hate America.  Too many to list.

The important thing here is simple: To escape Rotherham takes a lot of blunt truth.  Bluntness at the right time.  Which is now.   

Trump cannot do this alone.  He needs our help.  We need as many as possible to speak truth to leftist power.  Speak against their power to denigrate our heritage and our ideals.  We cannot be silent.  We must rid ourselves of the Rotherham reaction.  We must be purposeful.  We must be vocal and courageous.  Vote them out, and work together.  The stakes couldn’t be higher.

Three weeks before the midterms, it’s time to beat the degenerate left electorally.  Donate. Vote.  Persuade.  Help where you can.  Fight now.  Let’s stop this blue wave and its cultural insanity.  If we don’t, we will lose our culture forever, like Europe has. 

The battle is drawn.  Engage.  Escape Rotherham.

Shock Poll Finds Nearly Half of French Muslims Would Consider Emigrating if Marine Le Pen Wins Presidency

Marine Le Pen in 2025. Credit: Wikimedia Commons

Nearly half of France’s enormous Muslim population would consider leaving the country if Marine Le Pen wins the presidency next year, according to a new poll.

The IFOP survey, published by French weekly Marianne, found that 46 percent of Muslim respondents would contemplate emigrating following a Le Pen victory.

Approximately seven million Muslims are estimated to live in France, many of whom have come from former French colonies such as Algeria, Morocco and Cameroon.

The country is currently gripped by mass protests that are supposedly about the declining state of French education, although they are more about promoting Islamism and undermining traditional French culture.

The striking finding comes as immigration, Islam and French national identity remain major issues ahead of the 2027 presidential election.

Le Pen has long advocated dramatically reducing immigration and strengthening France’s secularism laws, including restrictions on the wearing of Islamic religious clothing.

France already has some of Europe’s strictest rules governing religious dress, although the poll found considerable public support for going further.

According to the survey, 53 percent opposed allowing the Islamic veil to be worn in public streets, while 75 percent supported the existing prohibition on abayas in state secondary schools.

Another 72 percent supported banning conspicuous religious symbols during sporting competitions.

Le Pen has previously proposed extending restrictions to the hijab in public spaces.

She has since indicated that such a measure would not simply be imposed upon taking office but would instead be submitted to the French people in a referendum.

As has been seen following Trump’s victories in 2016 and 2024, many leftists claim they will leave a country before eventually declining to do so.

Nevertheless, the findings illustrate the stakes of next year’s presidential election, in which Le Pen is leading the polls.

Recent surveys place her at around 35 percent in the first round, well ahead of the other candidates.

An October Harris Interactive poll also showed her comfortably ahead in hypothetical second-round contests, defeating former Prime Minister Édouard Philippe by 56–44 percent and communist firebrand Jean-Luc Mélenchon by 67–33 percent.

Cyberattack Heated Fridges Up to 122 Degrees at Supermarkets Across France

Medforth AI

A cyberattack has disrupted refrigeration, delivery and pricing systems at supermarket chains across France, Belgium and the Netherlands, impacting at least 700 stores so far. The hack caused fridges to heat up to 122 degrees Fahrenheit (50 degrees Celsius).

CNBC reports that the attack forced refrigeration units at supermarkets including Intermarché, Leclerc and Coopérative U into a continuous defrost cycle at 122 degrees. Normally these units defrost for about two hours a day. Sources described “a wave of heat” escaping from fridges and freezers as a result. The attack reportedly targeted refrigeration controls made by Danfoss, and also hit deliveries and in-store pricing through electronic shelf labels.

Dominique Schelcher, president of Coopérative U, confirmed the incident earlier this week. In an English translation quoted in the article, he said: “A cyberattack has been affecting the refrigeration production facilities of several stores in our network since last night.” He called the situation “extremely serious” and said teams had been mobilized to fix the problem, with an investigation to follow.

Losses are expected to climb into the millions of Euros as shops are forced to discord spoiled food.

According to Reuters, the hack was perpetrated on refridgerators made by Danfoss, which blamed “outdated firmware:”

The source ‌close to ⁠Lecornu said ANSSI had identified a vulnerability in software supplied by Danish company Danfoss.

Danfoss said it was “aware of incidents in France affecting a limited number of refrigeration management systems”.

The affected units “were running outdated firmware”, Danfoss said, adding that it had “long advised customers to keep supported systems updated with the latest firmware and to migrate legacy systems to current-generation solutions”.

No one has claimed credit for the cyberattack or has made a ransom demand as of this writing. Breitbart News has reported extensively on infrastructure sabotage, which this hack may prove to be.

Breitbart News reported in September that a train derailment in France was suspected to be a sabotage incident:

The regional train was carrying 186 passengers from Rouen to Caen when it derailed Friday evening at Cléon, in the Seine-Maritime department of northwestern France.

An 18-year-old woman was among the injured and was evacuated by helicopter to Rouen University Hospital, police said.

A spokeswoman for the French national police communications service, known as SICOP, said that the piece of rail found on the track was “probably” linked to the derailment. She spoke on condition of anonymity because she wasn’t authorized to be publicly named in line with police policy.

CDU in Saxony-Anhalt to walk out of chamber rather than risk votes for AfD

GROK youwatch

The Christian Democratic Union (CDU) parliamentary group in the Saxony-Anhalt Landtag, the state parliament of a federal state in eastern Germany, has agreed that its 15 members will leave the chamber during the planned December election of a minister-president if an Alternative for Germany (AfD) candidate stands.

The move, confirmed on October 13 after a roughly three-hour group meeting in Magdeburg, is intended to remove any possibility that CDU votes could be cast for the AfD in a secret ballot.

Group leader and acting minister-president Sven Schulze said the group had “agreed to do this”.

Fourteen members backed the proposal from the group leadership; former group leader Guido Heuer abstained, citing the need for legal advice on implications for any subsequent ballots.

The decision covers the first and second ballots; the approach to a possible third ballot was left open.

Schulze described the step as sending a clear signal that there would be no support from the CDU for an AfD head of government.

The decision follows the October 6 election of AfD member Tobias Rausch as Landtag president, the first time a representative of a party classified by the Saxony-Anhalt state office for the protection of the constitution as “confirmed right-wing extremist” has presided over a German state parliament. The office has applied that classification to the party’s state branch since 2023.

Rausch received 48 of 82 votes cast. The AfD has 39 seats and the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW) five, or 44 certain votes.

There were only five abstentions in total, despite the CDU leadership having recommended that its members abstain (one CDU member was absent).

Other parties had indicated they would vote against. Because the ballot was secret, the source of the additional votes cannot be established with certainty, but the numbers prompted widespread speculation that some came from the CDU.

Public broadcaster ZDF asked the 14 CDU members present how they had voted. Nine said they had abstained, against a recorded total of five abstentions across all groups.

In the September 6 state election the AfD, led by Ulrich Siegmund, took 43.8 per cent of the vote and 39 of 83 seats, more than double its previous result, while the CDU fell to 17.2 per cent and 15 seats. Turnout was 76.9 per cent, against 60.3 per cent five years earlier.

Siegmund has said he will stand for minister-president in December and only in the first ballot.

The Landtag election of a minister-president is by secret ballot without debate.

Under the state constitution the first and second ballots require an absolute majority of all members (42 votes).

With the BSW indicating it will abstain, Siegmund would need three votes from elsewhere.

A third ballot, if required, is decided by a majority of votes cast.

Political scientist Marcel Lewandowsky has said Siegmund could stay in the contest to a third round despite his announcement, in which case an empty CDU bench would lower the number of votes he needs rather than raise it.

Siegmund himself called the plan a strange idea and said it showed disrespect towards the will of the voters.

AfD co-leader Alice Weidel responded that Siegmund would become minister-president “whether in the first, second or third ballot” and described the CDU plan as “kindergarten of the first order”.

BSW group leader Thomas Schulze called the walkout “maximally cowardly” and unparliamentary.

The Social Democratic Party (SPD) said it would participate and vote against; the Left and Greens criticised the move as a capitulation or failure to confront the AfD directly by casting a clear “no”. Left group leader Eva von Angern said the decision laid bare the depth of the mistrust inside the CDU.

The episode has intensified internal CDU tensions in the state.

Several members have spoken of possible exits from the group or the formation of a separate parliamentary group.

Long-serving member and former education minister Marco Tullner has said he is seriously considering leaving.

CDU federal chairman and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has stated that votes for an AfD candidate for such an office are incompatible with CDU values, while Christian Social Union (CSU) leader Markus Söder has said anyone who votes for the AfD has “not much of a future” in the Union. Söder, speaking on public television, also told any dissenters who wanted to go elsewhere to say so and leave.

Schulze, who became group leader after a narrow 8-7 internal vote and remains acting minister-president until a successor is elected, said after the latest meeting that the group had “moved a good bit closer together” and that members wanted to look forward as the strongest opposition force.

He plans to step down as state party chairman; a party congress in early December is expected to choose a successor.

‘They tore away my dignity, my body’ – 3 Pakistani migrants on trial for raping Belgian university student in convenience store

Medforth AI

A female University of Mons student was allegedly sequestered and raped in the back room of a convenience store by three men of Pakistani origin in the Belgian city of Mons. The suspects are now on trial as of Oct. 12, 2026, for aggravated rape and unlawful confinement.

The incident occurred in the early hours of Dec. 12, 2025, at a night shop on Rue de la Clef in Mons. The student, identified in reports as Laura, a pseudonym, entered the store around 1:30 a.m. after an evening out, first to buy cookies and later around 1:42 a.m., for a drink. A shop employee invited her to have a drink in the back room. She agreed while using a translation app to communicate with him and then followed him. While she was in the back of the shop, the other employees closed the shop at 2:29 a.m. with her still inside.

While she was with the men, the owner asked an employee to serve her whisky and Cola.

Concerned about the drinking the beverage, she texted her roommate: “I’m at the convenience store. If I don’t come back, call the police.”

After consuming the drink, her vision then blurred and she lost consciousness, according to Belgian news outlet L’Avenir.

She regained awareness around 6:34 a.m., alone in the back room, disoriented, with her clothes disheveled and without underwear. She then got up and left. 

Garbage collectors later described seeing a terrified young woman looking over her shoulder. She reported sexual violence to her roommate and medical exams found male DNA in her vagina. 

Police intervened at the shop, finding two men present and a third hidden in a cupboard. Investigators recovered the student’s underwear, which contained semen matching one of the three suspects.

The three men are all of Pakistani origin, including the shop owner and an employee. The police arrested the suspects. 

One also faces a charge related to an alleged attempted rape of another customer in July 2025, which involved an attempt to force a kiss in the back room. All three deny the charges. The owner has claimed the student tried to steal €7,000 from his pockets, a version the prosecution rejects as it does not explain the scientific evidence.

In court a Monday morning, the public prosecutor treated the three as co-authors of the rape. 

“None of the three justifies the closing of the shop while this young woman is inside,” the prosecutor stated, requesting sentences of four and five years. 

The court also discussed a possible requalification of the facts as failure to assist a person in danger for two of the accused, while the defense lawyers pleaded for acquittal. 

The student’s lawyer, Odile Maes, argued the men knew what was happening in the back room and shared responsibility, calling them “sexual predators.”

 The victim was present in court and delivered emotional testimony, saying: “I have the feeling of having been thrown away like a broken toy that night. They tore away my dignity, my body, my friends, my family, my studies, and many other things. I demand justice.”

The student has described lasting effects including nightmares, isolation, fear of men, weight gain, and the loss of a student job, though she completed her first year of university with schedule adjustments. A judgment is expected in early November.

Researchers Debunk Viral Yandex Russian Bot Claims around AfD and MAGA

Fresh investigations have challenged viral claims that Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian technology giant Yandex crippled bot networks supporting Germany’s Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) and Trump’s MAGA movement. Research published on 12–13 October found no comparable collapse in political social media activity, undermining a narrative that spread rapidly following the attacks.

Danish analyst Valdemar Osted of Common Consultancy tested the claim against Facebook data from 76 AfD politicians and 136 MAGA accounts. His team compared comments on new posts with each account’s usual performance, adjusting for posting time, weekday, and each post’s age. After the strikes, AfD comment levels ranged from 8 per cent below to 5 per cent above expectations, while MAGA accounts performed between 4 and 10 per cent above expectations.

Rather than disappearing, comments on new MAGA posts totalled between 480,000 and 560,000 a day following the attacks, compared with around 370,000 in late September. Osted described the variations as ordinary fluctuations.

Researchers monitoring suspected influence campaigns reached similar conclusions. Richard Schwenn, an analyst at the German think tank Polisphere, told Capital that its tracking of nearly 10,000 accounts on TikTok, Telegram, and X—including accounts associated with disinformation, the AfD ecosystem, and pro-Russian sources—showed no statistically significant decline. Data collected with the Hasso Plattner Institute showed no comparable reduction in existing bot activity or new bot creation. Josef Holnburger, managing director of the German disinformation research organization CeMAS, likewise reported no related decline in the Russian disinformation campaigns his organization monitors.

Likewise, Poland’s state research institute NASK examined activity on X among accounts monitored for spreading disinformation between 30 September and 11 October. It found no significant overall decline after the Ukrainian strikes, according to findings provided to Interia. Some individual accounts stopped posting, but investigators could not establish any connection to the Yandex strikes.

Kyiv struck three Yandex data centres in Sasovo, Kaluga and the Vladimir region between 8 and 11 October. The facilities support Russian cloud services, businesses and artificial intelligence systems. Outages disrupted Yandex services and dependent websites, while Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov acknowledged on Tuesday that the government was discussing the problems and that the company was taking urgent recovery measures.

Reports of a dramatic collapse in Russian bot traffic quickly fuelled claims that the strikes had also crippled Kremlin-linked propaganda networks. Cloudflare recorded automated requests from Yandex’s network falling to just 0.4 per cent of the comparison period’s peak. However, the data measured automated web traffic, primarily search-engine crawlers, not propaganda accounts operating on social media. Broader Cloudflare figures showed no comparable collapse in automated activity originating from Russia.

The claims nevertheless spread rapidly, particularly after Czech MEP Tomáš Zdechovský shared a chart suggesting a 56 per cent decline in online activity surrounding the AfD. The graphic provided no identifiable source, methodology or underlying dataset. German fact-checkers also discovered glaring chronological inconsistencies, including figures extending to 15 October, several days after the chart had already circulated online.

Polish military commentator Jarosław Wolski helped spread the claim that AfD-related bot activity had fallen by 56 per cent, while also suggesting an abrupt decline in online MAGA support. On Tuesday, he deleted his post and apologized for disseminating false information, acknowledging that it had reached millions.

Poland’s intelligence services coordinator Tomasz Siemoniak separately claimed that the domestic security agency ABW had observed a major decline in Russian bot activity. Challenged over the episode, he said he had relied on ABW information rather than the viral graphic.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy also suggested on Monday that social media had become less hostile after the strikes, citing fewer bots. Yet Ukraine’s own Center for Countering Disinformation acknowledged on Tuesday that it had no evidence of a major overall reduction in Russian bot-network activity. It reported narrower, temporary disruption to the Pravda, InfoDefense and Nod of Time networks, with posting in some clusters halving for roughly 12 hours before recovering.

Christian care homes in Zurich lose right to refuse assisted suicide

Medforth AI

First, euthanasia campaigners sell death under the banner of “choice.” Then, they take away your choices.

On September 27, 68.1 percent of voters in the Canton of Zurich, Switzerland, approved a new requirement that compels hospitals and elder care homes – including Christian establishments – to perpetrate assisted suicide on their premises. At least 30 Christian institutions still refuse the practice and will be impacted by the referendum vote.

“Voters in Zurich canton approved changes to the Patientinnen- und Patientengesetz (Patients Act) and Gesundheitsgesetz (Health Act) requiring hospitals and care homes to make assisted suicide possible within their facilities,” reported the Observatory on Intolerance and Discrimination Against Christians in Europe.

“The proposal received 68.1% of the vote on 27 September 2026. Christian institutions will be bound by the requirement despite their conscientious objections. According to PRO, implementation is expected in spring 2027. Previously, hospitals and private care homes outside the existing municipal requirement could decide whether to refuse assisted suicide.”

Of course, this means that those who wish to be cared for or receive medical help in an institution that does not kill will have no place to go. According to Swiss news site SRF:

Markus Schaaf, the nursing home director and a member of the cantonal parliament for the Evangelical People’s Party (EVP), was particularly vocal in his opposition to the proposal. He told SRF that he was disappointed but not surprised by the result, as it would eliminate any freedom of choice: Residents could no longer choose between a nursing home that tolerated assisted suicide and one that did not.

Schaaf is not the only one speaking out. Daniel Milli, director of the Haus St. Otmar, a care home connected with the Catholic St. Anton parish, stated that ending the lives of residents runs contrary to their life-affirming mission, and emphasized that prospective residents and their families were told prior to admission that assisted suicide is prohibited at Haus St. Otmar. Bishop Joseph Maria Bonnemain of the Diocese of Chur also expressed his opposition to the measure in a statement on September 27.

“Where the termination of a life is legally regulated and socially accepted as a possible response to severe suffering, our view of vulnerability, dependence, and dignity changes,” he stated. “A person’s dignity does not depend on whether they are healthy, capable, autonomous, or free from pain. It remains, it must remain inviolable – especially in illness, despair, and at the end of life.”

“Many people who express a wish to die don’t simply want to die,” Bonnemain added. “They don’t want to be alone, be a burden to anyone, suffer unbearable pain, or lose control over their lives. Our society must respond to this with reliable support: with good palliative care, human connection, psychological and pastoral support, as well as concrete relief for family members and good working conditions for nursing staff.”

In the U.K. this year, assisted suicide advocates admitted that religious institutions would be forced to accept the practice. Labour MP Lewis Atkinson spoke against proposed protections that would permit hospices and care homes to refuse assisted suicide on their premises on March 19, stating that killing people by lethal injection would become part of end-of-life services and that “We would not accept such stipulations on other healthcare services.” Fortunately, Parliament killed the bill, instead.

Here in Canada, the Globe and Mail recently published an editorial by Andre Picard calling for the “secularization” of Catholic hospitals due to their refusal to permit assisted suicide and abortion. He also made it clear that other Christian institutions that care for the vulnerable would be next, noting ominously: “Many long-term care homes with religious affiliations also refuse to allow MAiD on their premises.”

For those in the Canton of Zurich who wish to be cared for by those who will not kill, that choice has been taken away from them. If Andre Picard and Canada’s suicide campaigners get their way, the same thing will happen in Canada. Christian institutions that refuse to kill are to be either euthanized or, essentially, stolen by the state.

EU Capital Erupts as French Riots Cross Border

Screengrab youtube

Observers agree: the violent riots that have been shaking France for weeks, and now also the Belgian capital Brussels, have nothing to do with school and youth unrest.

Rather, they are a highly dangerous mix of mostly young male migrants and local left-wing troublemakers. Since the elements of the unrest are present in most European countries as a result of mass immigration, the protests have the potential to become a Europe-wide conflagration.

On Friday, the unrest spread from France to its northern neighbor, Belgium. In Brussels, masked youths clashed with police in street battles, set vehicles on fire, and vandalized parts of the city center. According to official media reports, some members of the Belgian “student movement” were inspired by the protests in France.

Early in the morning, numerous youths dressed in black gathered near the central train station. Emergency responders were attacked with paving stones, glass bottles, wooden poles, and fireworks. Police deployed water cannons and tear gas. Bicycles, e-scooters, and trash cans were set ablaze, and street furniture was piled up to form barricades. A public bus burned out near the southern train station.

During searches, officers seized items including Molotov cocktails, gasoline, fireworks, a knife, and a hammer. In the afternoon, 18 people were initially arrested, including 13 minors. By evening, the number of arrests had risen significantly. Broadcaster BX1 reported approximately 80 people in police custody and about 30 further arrests as part of criminal investigations. In addition to the burned-out bus, four other buses, as well as police vehicles, a fire engine, and car-sharing vehicles, were damaged.

Brussels Mayor Philippe Close demanded a thorough legal investigation. Identified perpetrators should be held accountable for the damages caused. Investigators intend to analyze videos recorded by the alleged participants themselves.

The riots occurred on the sidelines of a large demonstration against the Belgian government’s austerity policies. Police estimated the number of participants at around 30,000, while organizers claimed 50,000. The union protest itself was largely peaceful. Security officials emphasized that the violence was unrelated to the demonstrators’ demands.

The situation had already escalated in Liège, where youths attacked police officers and damaged shops during student protests. Authorities imposed a ban on gatherings. According to the Associated Press, more than 200 people were arrested during the protests.

France: Muslim beheads statue of Saint Joseph in church

A 25-year-old man was arrested on Tuesday, October 13, after damaging a statue in the Church of Saint-Henri in Le Creusot (Saône-et-Loire).

According to ‘Creusot Infos’, the man, who is described as being of the Muslim faith, was completely drunk. He is alleged to have knocked over a statue of Saint Joseph before severing its head and displaying it on a bench.

As he left the church, he is said to have harassed several people, particularly young people, before being arrested by the police. Division Commander Arnaud Plantard states that he was previously unknown to the authorities.

The suspect spoke in a manner that was perceived as incoherent and exhibited signs of mental health issues. On the orders of the public prosecutor’s office, he was taken to the Hôtel-Dieu, where he was administered sedatives, and was subsequently due to be admitted to the specialist clinic in Sevrey. The investigation is ongoing.
