Allah's Willing Executioners

Angry Bengali Muslims living in Venice are threatening to stage a strike after local authorities denied a permit to build a controversial mosque in the historic Italian city’s mainland borough of Mestre. Islamists say the action is unfair and defies their rights to freedom of worship wherever followers gather even if they are in the minority.

There is currently no official, permanent purpose-built mosque in the historic island city center – nor elsewhere on the nearby coastal shore –  something dismayed and disappointed followers of Islam are determined to rectify.

For years, the Bangladeshi community in Venice has pushed for the construction of a 20 million euro mosque project in Mestre. The group intends to build the mosque a purchased land once occupied by a sawmill in Via Giustizia — a commercial zone that, Italian outlets detailed, does not have the required zoning designations for places of worship.

The years-long Bengali Muslims’ plans found a new roadblock this week after the Mayor of Venice, Simone Venturini, rejected the mosque’s construction permit request.

Speaking with Rai News on Tuesday, Mayor Venturini affirmed no permit shall be issued by his office for the construction of the mosque in Venice until the Bengali community “demonstrates progress in the integration of women, in learning Italian, and in participating in the life of the local community.”

Venturini’s decision drew the anger of the Bangladeshi community, who are now threatening to stage a strike in response and demand that the mosque is allowed to be built by invoking the Italian constitution’s freedom of worship.

Corriere della Sera reports that Prince Howlander, described by the newspaper as one of the Bengali community’s most outspoken voices, threatened to “block everything” in Venice and take upon the streets in protest unless their demands for the mosque are met. According to Corriere, there are about 20,000 practitioners of Islam currently living in Venice. Howlander is the head of “Youths for Humanity,” a local Bengali community organization.

“We’re also backed by a team of lawyers. The [Venice] administration can’t keep avoiding giving answers, this issue has been going on for at least fifteen years. If they don’t allow us to build our mosque, we’re ready to take to the streets,” Howlander reportedly said.

“And if we go on strike, Fincantieri [shipbuilding company] in Venice, Mestre, and Marghera will come to a standstill, along with the entire tourism industry, including kitchens, restaurants, and hotels. Want to see?” He threatened.

Speaking with Corriere, Mayor Venturini emphasized that there is currently no conditions in Venice for the construction of the mosque. He stressed that it is not a matter of restricting freedom of worship, and explained that the demand for zoning amendments for new places of worship — as required for the mosque’s plans — is “not a right to be exercised, but rather a discretionary power of the city council,” with rules and principles that must be respected.

“I believe that today, in Mestre, we don’t need a large mosque, it doesn’t make sense to propose grandiose projects,” Venturini stressed.

The Mayor reportedly pointed out that although the mosque’s current plans are a scaled-down version of what was previously presented before past administrations, “What remains is an imposing, multi-story project, a ziggurat.”

“It certainly won’t find fertile ground in this administration,” Venturini affirmed. “But that’s not even the point: any discussion surrounding any project must be based on a process of integration that I currently struggle to see as fully accomplished by the Bengali community, unlike other communities.”

Venturini provided some examples of what he described as the lack of integration of the Bengali Muslims in Venice, such as the “proliferation of women wearing full-face veils, with only their eyes visible,” and the lack of willingness on learning Italian and finding work — which he stressed to be “ideal” for the integration of Bengali women.

“The littering in neighborhoods with a predominantly Bangladeshi population must stop, just as the appearance of many businesses needs to be improved,” the mayor said.

From Canada to Europe, citizens are pushing back against migration because of concerns over crime, welfare dependency, and the broader fiscal burden. Photo courtesy of CBC.

A Canadian group is being called racist for pushing back against immigration, but they have legitimate grounds to believe the country would benefit from mass deportations.

Statistics Canada’s “immigrant generation” measure shows 44% of Canadians are first- or second-generation, either immigrants themselves or Canadian-born children of at least one immigrant parent. This includes 26.4% first generation and 17.6% second generation, with the combined share projected to reach 49.8% to 54.3% by 2041. Canada was home to 755 mosques as of December 2024; no reliably sourced count exists for 30 years earlier for comparison.

Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) reports the incidence of social assistance among immigrants is stable at 6%, below the national average of 8%. On crime, no Canadian government or think-tank source, left or right, publishes data broken down by immigrant origin the way Denmark and Sweden do.

That 6% figure comes from Statistics Canada’s “immigrant” category, which does not include non-permanent residents, a separate classification covering work and study permit holders and asylum claimants. Once granted status, Protected Persons claimed social assistance at 39% in their first year in Canada, declining to 20% after ten years. These rates are several times higher than the general immigrant figure but are reported under a separate legal category rather than folded into it.

Labor force data shows similar variation by origin. Most immigrant groups in Canada have female participation rates between 60% and 80%, but Statistics Canada research found that women from Pakistan fall below 50%. A peer-reviewed study using linked Statistics Canada survey data found that women from the Middle East and North Africa have the lowest labor force participation of any immigrant group, an effect the researchers attributed to source-country gender norms rather than religion specifically.

More broadly, racialized immigrant women had a 77% labor force participation rate and a 12% unemployment rate in 2021, the lowest and highest rates, respectively, among all immigrant groups measured.

The Fraser Institute estimated Canada’s net fiscal burden from immigration at over $6,000 per capita in 2005/06, totaling $16.3 to $23.6 billion that year.

This is where the Dominion Society of Canada comes in. The nationalist group is drawing national attention for a plan to deport millions of people. Its rise is part of a wider anti-immigration pattern of mobilization spreading across Western democracies, including a loosely organized protest movement against asylum accommodation in Ireland that has grown steadily since 2022.

The Dominion Society has scheduled a national conference, “DomCon 2026,” for August 29 in the Hamilton, Ontario, area. The group was founded on July 1, 2025, by Daniel Tyrie, a former executive director of the People’s Party of Canada, along with Greg Wycliffe and Ken Jones. It is registered as a non-profit corporation with an office in Ottawa. Members can join for a $25 fee.

The group advocates what it calls “remigration” of an estimated five million to nine million people, a category that includes temporary foreign workers, permanent residents, and people born in Canada to non-Canadian citizen parents.

The Canadian Anti-Hate Network reported that Dominion Society had roughly 1,600 registered members in October 2025, and by summer 2026, Dominion Society itself claimed roughly 3,000 members while raising hundreds of thousands of dollars. Evan Balgord, who directs the Canadian Anti-Hate Network, told CBC that Dominion Society likely has thousands of members, mostly young white men and boys.

On August 4, 2026, the Hamilton Anti-Racism Resource Centre and the Hamilton Centre for Civic Inclusion published an open letter advising local businesses against renting space to Dominion Society and calling on elected officials to denounce the group.

Mayor Andrea Horwath followed on August 12 by sending her own letters to venues, writing that “the Dominion Society’s own website identifies ‘remigration’ as a central objective of its movement, and the Canadian Anti-Hate Network has identified the organization as part of Canada’s broader white-nationalist movement.” Horwath said she was not asking venues to act outside their own policies, only to have “full context” before booking.

The City of Hamilton confirmed it would not rent municipal facilities to Dominion Society, and the venue originally booked for the conference canceled its reservation, though Hamilton police did not disclose the venue’s identity or reason. Dominion Society responded by telling CBC it is keeping DomCon’s exact location secret so its members are not targeted by opponents.

Part of the pressure on venues stemmed from the conference’s announced speaker lineup. DomCon 2026 advertised Austrian activist Martin Sellner as a speaker; Sellner is permanently banned from entering the United Kingdom over his role in far-right and identitarian activism, and Canadian officials did not say publicly whether he would be admitted to Canada. When Sellner responded to a Dominion Society post promoting his appearance by writing “I hope they let me in,” Dominion Society chair Daniel Tyrie said in an emailed response that the group’s legal team could not find a reason he would be barred.

The City of Hamilton also confirmed that bylaw officers have been monitoring Dominion Society promotional posters placed on public property, and Hamilton police said they were preparing a plan to address any risks, disruptions, or criminal activity connected to the event.

Criticism of the group has come from across the political spectrum. Jason Kenney, a former Conservative federal immigration minister and Alberta premier, publicly called Dominion Society founder Daniel Tyrie “racist” after Tyrie gave an interview to the outlet Juno News advocating remigration. Kenney said Tyrie’s group is “not just opposed to ‘mass immigration,’ but to ANY immigration,” pointing to the group’s own website call for a “total moratorium on all immigration for a minimum of 10 years” and “the forcible deportation of every legal permanent resident in Canada.” Kenney separately told CBC’s Front Burner that failing to draw a line against the group risks “mainstreaming or destigmatizing outright racist sentiments.”

Barbara Perry, who directs the Centre on Hate, Bias and Extremism at Ontario Tech University, said the group also promotes the “great replacement” conspiracy theory. The Canadian Anti-Hate Network’s own report on the group notes that Dominion Society’s platform exempts what it calls “heritage Canadians” from deportation — a category the Network says the group has defined, inconsistently, as exclusively white — while applying its deportation plan to legal permanent residents and naturalized citizens who fall outside that category.

Canada’s federal deportation numbers, separate from any activist platform, have also risen. The Canada Border Services Agency removed 23,160 people in 2025, the highest single-year total in the agency’s history, with removals reaching roughly 400 people a week by March 2026. More than half of those removals occurred in Quebec, where the Migrant Justice Clinic in Montreal has described a sharp escalation in enforcement tactics.

In Ireland, anti-immigration organizing has followed a different trajectory but a similar arc of growth. The Garda Síochána recorded 307 anti-migrant protests in 2022 and at least 169 more through August 2023, concentrated in Dublin neighborhoods including East Wall, Ballymun, Finglas and Drimnagh, as well as towns such as Mullingar and Roscrea. Protesters have organized under slogans including “Ireland is Full,” and demonstrations have at times escalated into arson attacks on buildings intended to house asylum seekers, including incidents in Coolock in 2024.

The International Protection Accommodation Service reported roughly 33,250 people in its accommodation system at the end of 2025, a 450 percent increase since 2021, even as new asylum applications declined. Ireland’s government passed the International Protection Bill 2026, intended to speed asylum decisions and extend the residency requirement for citizenship to five years; the law drew criticism from UNHCR Ireland, Nasc and the Irish Refugee Council.

A June 2026 knife attack in Belfast triggered several nights of disorder in Belfast, Portadown, Derry and Newtownabbey, and protesters on both sides of the border adopted the slogan “Irish Lives Matter,” which the Police Service of Northern Ireland recorded as a hate incident after it appeared at the Kennedy Centre on Belfast’s Falls Road.

Security analysts note that the open border under the Common Travel Area allows demonstrations in Belfast and Dublin to draw overlapping supporter bases, and that 90 percent of asylum seekers entering the Republic of Ireland may have first traveled through Northern Ireland.

Global Project Against Hate and Extremism has tracked more than a dozen active nationalist and anti-immigration groups in Ireland, including the Irish Freedom Party and the National Party, and traces the movement’s growth to the period following COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, when anti-lockdown organizing networks pivoted toward opposition to asylum accommodation.

Similar organizations have formed in other countries. In Italy, the Identitarian Movement organized the first Remigration Summit in Milan in May 2025, drawing about 400 attendees. A follow-up gathering in Portugal in May 2026 drew more than 500 activists and influencers, including former U.S. Border Patrol chief Gregory Bovino and American Renaissance editor Jared Taylor.

In Spain, the Canadian Anti-Hate Network has noted parallels between Dominion Society and groups such as Núcleo Nacional, which is under investigation for a hate crime after sharing anti-immigration content online. In Canada itself, Dominion Society shares overlapping membership with Second Sons Canada, a group that conducts firearms training, mixed martial arts, and military-style drills under the supervision of veterans.

In the United States, the Federation for American Immigration Reform, founded in 1979, remains the country’s largest and longest-running immigration-restriction organization. The Southern Poverty Law Center classifies it as a hate group with ties to white supremacist figures, a designation FAIR disputes.

Government data from several European countries shows migrant-origin populations overrepresented in violent crime, rape convictions, and welfare receipt. In Denmark, non-Western immigrants and their descendants, 8.9% of the population, account for 25.4% of violent crime convictions, with the highest individual rates recorded among men born in Lebanon, Somalia, Morocco, Syria, and Pakistan, all Muslim-majority countries.

In Sweden, 58% of men convicted of rape or attempted rape over a recent five-year period were born abroad. Brå, Sweden’s national crime-prevention agency, found that individuals of North African origin carry the highest relative risk of criminal suspicion of any origin group, at 4.7 times the rate of native Swedes.

On welfare, 45% of German unemployment-benefit recipients are non-citizens, while a Dutch study using official CBS microdata found that non-Western immigrants have relatively high reliance on non-employment benefit categories, tied mainly to lower average incomes.

A Labour-run council has been giving priority for council housing to asylum seekers despite a deepening homelessness crisis in Edinburgh, it has emerged.

Homeless asylum seekers whose claims have been approved have been able to leapfrog local applicants under a policy introduced by the City of Edinburgh Council in April 2025, The Telegraph has revealed.

Since the policy came into effect, applications from local applicants who are not deemed to be disabled, homeless or at risk of violence have been put on hold as the council attempts to manage mounting pressure on its housing stock.

However, the authority has continued processing applications from asylum seekers who have been granted permission to remain in Britain and are homeless.

The council’s housing waiting list currently contains more than 31,000 applicants, with around 42,000 homes available through the authority and local housing associations.

On Tuesday, local councillors voted to reinstate the system used before April 2025, allowing applications from the wider waiting list to be processed again.

However, the change will not take effect until October.

Under SNP policy, Scotland is required to house people who are assessed as homeless, with asylum seekers automatically receiving that status once the Home Office approves their claims.

Edinburgh’s homelessness crisis has spiralled since the COVID-19 pandemic, with homelessness rising by 75 per cent over recent years.

The city’s temporary accommodation has also come under increasing pressure, with asylum seekers now accounting for more than 16 per cent of placements, according to a council report.

That figure has risen sharply from just one per cent in 2023.

There has been comparatively little change in the proportion of temporary accommodation being used to house Scottish residents.

The Scottish Conservatives have accused the SNP of allowing the housing system to become overwhelmed.

Tim Eagle MSP, the party’s housing spokesman, described the figures as a “damning indictment” of the SNP’s management of Scotland’s housing crisis.

“Ordinary Edinburgh residents have been left waiting as the system becomes completely clogged,” he told The Telegraph.

“The council’s own figures show a huge increase in homeless asylum seekers using temporary accommodation, piling further pressure on a housing system that is already buckling.

“Local people should not be pushed to the back of the queue because SNP ministers have allowed Scotland’s housing system to become completely overwhelmed.

“They need to stop ignoring the consequences of their policies and put local communities first.”

Internal council documents unearthed by The Telegraph have also pointed to asylum policy as one factor placing additional pressure on Edinburgh’s housing system.

In 2022, Nicola Sturgeon removed the requirement for council homes to be allocated to applicants with a “local connection” to the area where they would be housed.

The change has subsequently been blamed by critics for contributing to Edinburgh’s housing pressures and making Scotland more attractive to successful asylum seekers seeking council accommodation.

A City of Edinburgh Council internal risk assessment warned that changes to asylum policies could result in an “increase in homelessness presentations” in the city.

The document identified asylum policies enacted by the UK and Scottish Governments as a key “risk” to the city’s homelessness crisis.

Officials are now planning to pause some council housing allocations in an effort to manage demand, while new buildings could also be converted into accommodation.

A City of Edinburgh Council spokesman said: “We continue to monitor the different reasons households require temporary accommodation; it is important to recognise that there is not always an opportunity for the council to prevent instances of homelessness.

“For example, households who have received a positive asylum decision, or who have a local connection elsewhere in Scotland, are categorised as non-preventable because there is no opportunity for the Council to intervene before they require our support.

“We therefore monitor these groups separately from areas where there is greater scope for prevention, such as tenancy loss or relationship breakdown.

“This gives us a clearer picture of both the pressures on temporary accommodation and where preventative action can make a difference.

“Despite these challenges, we continue to see progress against our emergency plan and remain focused on improving housing provision across the city.”

A lively debate featuring NCF Senior Fellow Rafe Heydel-Mankoo following a GB News exclusive revealing that the National Lottery has given more than £140 million to various pro-asylum refugee charities, including the Refugee Council and the Scottish Council for Refugees.

Bernadette “Bernie” Spofforth was caught up in Great Britain Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s crackdown on online speech.

The Gateway Pundit reported that British authorities have warned that “keyboard warriors” will be arrested.

Met Police Commissioner Mark Rowley told reporters, “We will throw the full force of the law at people. And whether you’re in this country committing crimes on the streets or committing crimes from further afield online, we will come after you.”

“You can be guilty of offenses of incitement, of stirring up racial hatred; there are numerous terrorist offenses regarding the publishing of material.”

As an attack on children attending a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in Southport, England, was unfolding, Spofforth weighed in on social media.

Spofforth’s post on X, which she has since taken down, read, “Ali Al-Shakati was the suspect. He was an asylum seeker who came to the UK by boat last year and was on an MI6 watch list.”

“If this is true, then all hell is about to break loose.”

Spofforth came under police investigation and was then accused of sharing misinformation and misidentifying the assailant.

The mother of three was ultimately arrested for her post.

She was accused of allegedly “inciting racial hatred and spreading false news through written means” and detained for 36 hours.

During the investigation, and while she was out on bail, she was unable to respond to messages or questions regarding the incident.

Following the incident of governmental overreach, Spofforth shared her personal story.

Spofforth recently joined The Winston Marshall Show to discuss her experience and share a warning for others.

Marshall began, “Every year, 12,000 people in Britain are arrested for social media posts. You are one of those arrested.”

Spofforth responded, “Actually, what I’d done was seen the news about Southport, picked up my phone and a post came up. And so I copied and pasted it and I put …four days later. They all turned up to come and arrest me. It was horrendous. As that arrest happened, I knew my entire career was over. I have family who would not speak to me, colleagues who sent emails saying, ‘never contact me ever again.’”

Marshall asked, “How is it, do you think, we got to a point where a very normal, free-thinking person like yourself is arrested for a tweet like this?”

Spofforth replied, “This has been a long time coming. In the ’90s, during Blair’s time, we changed the rules and called it parallel lives.”

“The way to keep control is to control information and to control speech. I think the biggest racists are those who believe that people of a culture in the developing world will just drop their culture and their god and take a Western one because we’re better.”

“The clampdown on free speech is to frighten people into shutting up.”

Watch:

“Anything you say will be used against you”

Bernie Spofforth joins me to reveal what happened after she was arrested following a post about the Southport murders.

The Ceuta crisis has turned a long-pending reform into a political emergency.

Almost a month after the mass incursion from Morocco, the government has taken the first step towards replacing the 2009 Asylum Law, and adapting Spanish legislation to the new European migration framework in force since June 12th.

On August 25th, the Council of Ministers approved, at first reading, two preliminary bills: a new Asylum Law and a reform of the Organic Law on Foreigners. The texts must still undergo consultative reviews, return to the Council of Ministers and then begin their parliamentary passage. There is still no date for their final approval, but the machinery of the state has already been set in motion.

Spain, however, is late. Its own implementation plan for the EU Pact on Migration and Asylum envisaged legislative changes well before the new European rules began to apply. Legal complexity, divisions within Sánchez’s parliamentary majority, and reluctance over some of the Pact’s more restrictive measures delayed the process.

Many of the government’s partners had described some of those measures as “inhumane” after the Right succeeded in amending parts of the original legislative proposal.

Ceuta has changed the PSOE’s usual parliamentary calculations.

The arrival of between 60,000 and 80,000 people at the end of July overwhelmed the city’s normal capacity. Most later returned to Morocco, but several thousand remain in the enclave, while the accommodation of unaccompanied minors continues to be one of the main administrative problems—one that nobody seems particularly eager to resolve quickly.

The future legislation introduces precisely the kind of mechanisms designed for situations of pressure at the EU’s external borders. In that sense, the law appears almost tailor-made for the current crisis.

There will be mandatory initial screening for those entering irregularly, including identity, security, health and vulnerability checks. From there, each person will be directed towards the appropriate asylum, return or other procedure.

The new Asylum Law will also establish three procedures: ordinary, accelerated, and border procedures. The latter will allow certain cases to be decided without first authorising formal entry into Spanish territory and will, as a general rule, have a maximum duration of twelve weeks. Inadmissibility decisions and returns will also be made easier where the concept of a “safe third country” applies.

That provision is particularly relevant to Ceuta because of its border with Morocco.

The reform, however, addresses only part of the problem. Rabat continues to claim Ceuta and Melilla. The combination of territorial claims and a border whose stability depends to a considerable extent on Moroccan cooperation turns migration into a strategic issue, with the risk that the current situation becomes indefinitely frozen in place.

Ceuta’s population has responded with a determination repeatedly expressed in television interviews over recent days. Residents from across the political spectrum say they are not prepared to leave the city and are demanding a firmer response from the Spanish state.

The president of the autonomous city, Juan Jesús Vivas, has publicly expressed the same position: Ceuta has no intention of surrendering.

Reforming asylum legislation may provide Spain with faster tools to identify arrivals, process applications and carry out returns. But the crisis has shown that Ceuta’s problem does not end with legislative reform. It is a question of political will and resolve.

Sven Hüber, deputy federal chairman of Germany’s largest police union, the Gewerkschaft der Polizei (GdP), chairman of the Federal Police’s main staff council and a critic of Alternative for Germany (AfD), has resigned after serious accusations against him were reported in the media.

In a personal statement released by the GdP on August 26, Hüber said he was stepping down because of several legal and court proceedings he had initiated against what he described as “defamatory and reputation-damaging” media accusations relating to the period before he joined the Federal Police and before his work for the union.

“I am resigning from my office with immediate effect because there are currently several legal and judicial examinations I have initiated against raised media defamatory and reputation-damaging accusations from before my service in the Federal Police and before the GdP,” he said.

“I want, during the necessary court confrontation, to keep the daily new, untenable accusations away from the GdP.”

Hüber said he had informed GdP federal chairman Jochen Kopelke, the executive federal board and the federal control committee after intensive discussions. He is handing over his areas of responsibility and all activities with immediate effect.

The union stated that it would continue to pursue criminal and civil action against those responsible for “false claims, threats and distorted publications”. The GdP represents more than 210,000 police employees across Germany.

The reports at the centre of the dispute were published by the news website Apollo News on August 25.

Citing a sworn statement from a former conscript, Axel Krause, the outlet alleged that Hüber, while serving as an officer in the East German border troops in the late 1980s, severely mistreated a detained person who had attempted to flee across the inner-German border. Krause said he saw Hüber push a pistol into the mouth of the pinned man and later kick him in the face.

It further claimed he had actively promoted enforcement of the shoot-to-kill order against border violators. According to Krause, Hüber told soldiers he would keep using the older wording of the daily order, under which those crossing were to be tracked down, detained or destroyed, after it was amended in 1988.

Hüber is said to have demoted a post leader who had twice failed to hit people escaping to West Berlin. Krause said Hüber tore the man’s shoulder boards off in front of the assembled company and described him as a traitor.

Hüber, 62, has held the post of deputy federal chairman since September 2022. He joined the police and the union in 1990 and has chaired the Federal Police main staff council at the Federal Ministry of the Interior since 2000.

Historian Hubertus Knabe, who assisted Apollo News with archive research, said he had already checked some of Krause’s account against Ministry for State Security files and found it credible.

Hüber answered the outlet’s questions through a six-page letter from his lawyer rejecting all the allegations, Apollo News reported.

He had already faced internal criticism within the GdP in early August over comments on how police officers should respond to a possible AfD-led interior ministry. Writing ahead of the Saxony-Anhalt state election on September 6, he raised the prospect of an “internal emergency” and argued officers should be ready to restore constitutional order.

Several regional branches of the union distanced themselves from parts of those remarks. The North Rhine-Westphalia branch, the GdP’s largest, said on August 12 that the oath of office did not deprive officers of the right to vote.

The accusations concerning his time in the East German border forces predate both his service in the Federal Police and his trade union career. Hüber served with Border Regiment 33 in Berlin-Treptow, the unit in whose sector Chris Gueffroy became the last person shot dead at the Berlin Wall in February 1989. He has never been accused of involvement in that killing.

At the very hours durring which the University of Cambridge put a censor’s notice on “Little Red Riding Hood”, 130 Christians were massacred in Ituri, Congo.

The Islamic State claimed the slaughter: 25 of the Christians were beheaded.

Let us repeat it, to avoid any misunderstanding: 130 Christians killed without anyone hearing about it.

The Congolese scenes are by now even more gruesome than the Nigerian ones, where 30 Christians were killed during the same hours in the Plateau.

The two pieces of news – “Little Red Riding Hood” and the beheaded Christians – are only apparently unconnected.

No newspaper has devoted a single line to the 130 Christians cut to pieces.

Not a coincidence, but an inverted moral hierarchy.

Not because the facts are unknown: the agencies report them, religious organizations such as Barnabas document them, the jihadist videos circulate. But those facts do not fit into the narrative canon.

It is not even a question of geographical distance.

Gaza and the “West Bank” (ah, the “Jewish settlers”) occupy Western screens 24/7; another slaughter of Congolese and Nigerian Christians does not even surface.

It is not the logistical difficulty of reaching remote areas: reporters go everywhere when the narrative requires it.

The reason is more subtle, more cowardly.

These Christians are black, but not black in the “correct” post-colonial version; and they are poor, but not poor in a way that indicts Western capitalism.

Here it is, then: if only those massacred Christians were Palestinian Arabs.

If only the nameless bodies buried in the red earth of the Nigerian Plateau, the children burned in the churches of Congo, the women kidnapped and disfigured in the Sahel, carried another name, another flag, another cause.

If only the three hundred and more souls torn every month from the faith in Nigeria were souls of Gaza, then the Italian newspapers would open with it on the front page, the European squares would fill with flags and slogans, university professors would suspend classes, artists would paint murals, singers would dedicate songs and big concerts, politicians would tear their clothes on live television.

If only these martyrs were Palestinian Arabs, one would not speak of “clashes between farmers and herders” nor of “banditry” or of “climate pressures.”

One would speak of genocide.
One would speak of a crime against humanity.
One would speak of colonialism.

The newsrooms would send correspondents armed with cameras and indignation.
Social media would explode with hashtags.
Embassies would be besieged.
Universities occupied.
The moralist gang of Report would make us twelve specials.

But they are not Palestinian Arabs.
They are black Christians, poor, distant and inconvenient.
And so they remain invisible.
They remain figures in reports of organizations that no one reads.
And our time reveals its true hierarchy of pain: it does not matter how many die, it matters who dies and above all fighting againstwhom they die.

Meanwhile the wolf is no longer a wolf. It has become “adult content.”

But the wolf, outside the Western classrooms and newsrooms, does not arrive with a notice. And those who have never learned to recognize the wolf will end up, sooner or later, being devoured by it without even knowing what killed them.

A British journalist recently had himself smuggled from France to Great Britain by boat to get an inside look at the migrant trafficking operation and witnessed French security officials who were largely ineffective at stopping migrant boats but more than adequate to help smugglers themselves return to France.

On Tuesday, The Guardian published the account of Watchman Media undercover journalist Christian Drogan, who embarked on a quest to get himself onto a migrant dinghy that would cross the Channel from northern France back into Britain. After several failed attempts at passing himself off as a migrant, he eventually succeeded with a cover story that he was a British criminal “who had been on the run in Spain and now needed to sneak back into the UK. Eventually, I found an agent who was prepared to take a risk on an English ‘brother.’ We agreed the fee – €1,400 – and I was linked to a handler.”

Drogan goes on to detail the elaborate process of eventually corralled to a migrant holding camp in the woods and the grueling conditions therein before finally being directed to a beach and waiting several hours in the hot sun for a dinghy along with a group of actual migrants. Before launch, however, their boat stalled due to engine trouble, at which point French officers stormed the boat, arresting several of the smugglers while the migrants (including Drogan) dispersed.

Lest this be taken as proof of French diligence in border security, however, Drogan noted that they only stopped a boat “that had no hope of leaving their territorial waters – and only for the same passengers to board another one, the very next day.” Just 24 hours later, he repeated the process, this time in a successful, functioning boat.

Upon reaching open water, he witnessed something else notable: the smugglers themselves jumping ship to swim back in the direction they came. “In the course of a year-long investigation, here is what I have repeatedly observed: When migrants board dinghies, a number of smugglers and handlers initially go too, to check nobody unauthorised has sneaked on to the boat,” he explained. “As soon as they are satisfied that all is in order, they get off. If the dinghy is still in shallow water, they jump, pretending to be migrants who missed the boat. I have seen them feign exhaustion and hypothermia as they stagger ashore, to avoid being searched by police – only to skip off laughing the second the gendarmes look away.”

It was this phenomenon that led to the investigation’s second notable observation about French authorities.

“As we headed into the Channel, I watched in disbelief as men who were quite clearly in positions of authority on my dinghy radioed a lurking search-and-rescue vessel, asking to get off,” Drogan wrote. “Presumably knowing no lives were at risk, the emergency responders in turn called the gendarmes. A minute or two later, a police vessel drew alongside our dinghy and the traffickers hopped off. After a cursory pat-down for weapons, they were taken back to dry land. What a neat way to avoid a very lengthy round trip to the UK. If I could see what was going on, why on earth couldn’t these officials?”

Drogan went on to detail his boat being picked up by the British Border Force, where his true identity and purpose were revealed before long.

“I have nothing but praise for what I saw of UK Border Force, whose hands are tied by spineless leaders,” Drogan concluded. “Somehow, Andy Burnham, the Prime Minister, and Shabana Mahmood, the Home Secretary, still don’t see this for what it is: a national security emergency.”

Across the Western world, unrest has been brewing over liberal governments’ failures to control mass migration across their borders from third-world countries with radically different cultures and standards, leading to a slew of social ills, including increased crime, strained public services, security threats, and in some localities entire enclaves that have become unrecognizable and unsafe for natives.

Violent protests broke out across Belfast, Glasgow, Edinburgh, and Ayr earlier this summer after the attempted beheading of a Scottish man by a Sudanese national. 

“I think it’s absolutely necessary to talk about immigration in the context of national security. I think it’s a conversation that has been raised by the US White House,” terrorism watchdog Jonathan Hall said in June. “At the moment, I haven’t yet heard a response, I’ve just heard silence.”

An illegal migrant from Sudan lay in wait for a lone woman before attacking her 30 times with a broken bottle in Leeds.

Ibrahim Albashir, 34, embarked on the violent rampage in April 2024, targeting his 32-year-old victim as she walked home from a dinner out with friends.

On Tuesday, Leeds Crown Court heard how the asylum seeker left Sudan at the age of 25, first breaking into Libya before illegally crossing to Italy.

Albashir then headed to France, where he began smoking cannabis and drinking alcohol.

The 34-year-old stayed in peaceful France for one year – six months of which was spent inside a mental health unit, where he was diagnosed with catatonic schizophrenia.

Following his release, he was proscribed with anti-psychotic medication and he made his way to Paris.

Albashir subsequently stopped taking his medication and his asylum claim in France was denied.

The 34-year-old then travelled up north to Calais, where he broke into Britain with the help of people-smugglers.

After being put up in a hostel in Birmingham, he sexually assaulted a female member of staff after she refused to have sex with him in his room, jurors heard.

When he arrived in Leeds after being kicked off a train due to having no ticket, he was stopped by police in the Woodhouse area after being spotted with his trousers down to his ankles and searched for drugs – but no further action was taken.

On the evening of March 17, 2024, Albashir launched his violent attack on the lone woman outside the Original Oak pub.

The court was told that the rampage was only brought to a halt after members of the public heard the victim’s “blood-curdling screams”.

The illegal migrant was then knocked out by a member of the public.

Following the attack, police officers described him as appearing “out of it” and said he appeared to be under the influence of either alcohol or drugs, or both, the court was told.

After pleading guilty to attempted murder in March, the 34-year-old was sentenced to 25 years in prison alongside an indefinite hospital order.

Albashir appeared from a secure mental health unit via video link with the help of an Arabic interpreter, with Judge Robin Mairs telling him: “I do not accept your self-reporting of amnesia at the time of the offence.

“You chose a lone female to attack. It would appear from CCTV footage that you laid in wait.

“I feel the common sense conclusion is that there was a sexual element to the attack. This was not, in my view, random.”

The victim – who sustained injuries to her chest and neck in the attack – told the court via a personal statement: “Every time someone asks about the scar I have to relive the worst day of my life.

“I live my life feeling anxious, worried and scared about something like this happening again.

“The physical injuries may be minor, my mental injuries are scars that will stay with me forever.”

Albashir will be detained indefinitely in a secure mental hospital and would be transferred to prison to serve out his sentence should he ever make a recovery, the judge said.
