German Authorities Declare Muslim Gunman Shouting “Allah Akbar” Has No Islamist Motive – Why would you think otherwise?

As of around a decade ago, all Islamic terrorism in Europe was reclassified as mental illness. There’s been a lot of mental illness incidents lately, but that’s probably just due to stress, overwork and some black book we’re not allowed to mention.

Here’s a few recent incidents of mental illness. See if you can out-Freud, Sigmund and figure out the common thread.

Swiss Stabbing by Muslim Terrorist Who Supported ISIS Blamed on ‘Mental Illness’ – May 29. 2026

When a Turkish Muslim gunman showed up at a Dresden supermarket shouting, “Allahu Akbar” and shooting, the authorities knew just what to do.

The 41-year-old Turkish man shot by Dresden police in the Friedrichstadt district on Wednesday has been admitted to a psychiatric hospital. A police spokesperson told us there are indications that the suspect suffers from a serious mental illness.

Therefore, his capacity for criminal responsibility may be diminished. There is no evidence of an Islamist motive. The man threatened several people with a firearm on Wednesday. He was overpowered by special forces after a shootout.

After leaving the market, the man reportedly knelt down, repeatedly shouted “Allahu Akbar,” and jerked his weapon toward a police team, possibly firing a shot at the officers.

Not a single piece of evidence of an Islamist motive. Just some Allah Ackbaring mental illness which surely the good shrinks will cure him of this “serious mental illness” which appears to affect a very, very specific sector of the population.

The next step is his “capacity for criminal responsibility may be diminished” and he can be set loose to shoot up some people in the name of his ‘mental illness’.

Spain: Three Women Expelled from Public Pool for Wearing a Burkini

Three Muslim women were expelled from public pools in the Spanish town of Burgos in recent days for swimming while wearing a Burkini in violation of local regulations, local outlets reported on Thursday.

The Burkini is a sharia-compliant swimwear worn by Islamic women that covers their entire body, except for the face, hands, and feet. According to the local outlet El Diario de Burgos, the Spanish city’s regulations prohibit entering or remaining in public pool areas while wearing street clothes or footwear, citing hygiene reasons.

The prohibition also extends not only to Islam-compliant swimwear such as the Burkini, but it also prohibits swimming in any other kind of garment that is not a standard swimsuit for both men and women.

Although Burgos’ public pool clothing regulations have have existed for over a decade, the Spanish outlet El Confidential reports that three women were recently expelled from Burgos’ El Plantío y San Amaro public pools over their failure to adhere to the regulations. The outlet noted that while there is no nationwide, similar hygiene-related public pool clothing prohibitions exist across the majority of Spain’s municipalities while nearby France has made its stance clear in the past.

“Municipal regulations make no reference to the potential significance of a garment that can be interpreted as a legitimate expression of modesty, but also as a sign of oppression, given that it conceals a woman’s body,” El Confidential wrote.

“In any case, it is undeniable that the burkini is an exotic garment to the majority of Spanish sensibilities,” the outlet added.

According to several Spanish outlets, a controversy arose with regards to the third expelled woman after the pool’s personnel ordered the group to leave. While the first two women’s garments classified as streetwear according to the town’s pool regulations, the third women reportedly claimed that her outfit was instead a “rashguard,” an athletic outfit that protects its wearer from prolonged UV rays exposure and rashes.

The town’s mayor, Cristina Ayala, addressed the situation speaking to reporters on Thursday. According to the newspaper El País, Ayala stressed that the regulations have long existed in Burgos and defended the actions of the public pools’ personnel against the three expelled women, noting that they were simply executing the municipal ordinance.

“[Swimming in a burkini] is not permitted at this time; regulations are being followed. Past practice is being respected; there is nothing different,” Ayala told local reporters.

Ayala, a member of the center-right People’s Party (PP), affirmed that her office’s Sports Council will bring the matter to the parties with municipal council representation — PP, the populist party Vox, and the Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party (PSOE) — to have “political bodies weigh in on whether to continue with the same regulations and rules that have remained unchanged, or whether the matter needs to be reconsidered.”

“We are going to put it up for debate; we want to gauge what others think about it, and ultimately, we will make a decision. It is a good time for all the parties to weigh in,” Ayala reportedly said, per El País.

In addition to prohibiting individuals from wearing street clothes in public pool areas, Burgos’ regulations prohibit the use of wetsuits or Lycra suits in said areas, unless the person presents a medical certificate that justifies the need to wear said outfits.

German parliamentary leader Spahn faces backlash over surrogate baby

Germany’s debate surrounding surrogacy has been thrust back into the political spotlight after senior Christian Democratic Union (CDU) politician Jens Spahn announced the birth of his son through a surrogate mother, triggering accusations of hypocrisy from political opponents, activists and even members of his own party.

Spahn, leader of the CDU/Christian Social Union (CSU) parliamentary group in the Bundestag, confirmed to the newspaper Bild on July 15, 2026 that he and his husband Daniel Funke had become parents. Their son, Georg, was born in the United States.

The announcement has sparked a national debate as surrogacy remains illegal in Germany, and because Spahn himself has long opposed efforts to legalise the practice.

As health minister in 2020, his department rejected a Free Democratic Party (FDP) push to legalise altruistic surrogacy, telling the Bundestag the ban existed primarily to safeguard the welfare of the child.

In 2015, writing in the magazine GQ, he said that as a gay man and a Christian he could hardly warm to the idea of a “rented womb”.

Under German law, the mediation and medical facilitation of surrogacy arrangements are illegal, prompting some couples to seek services abroad, particularly in certain US states where the practice is legal.

The Embryo Protection Act and the Adoption Placement Act target doctors and intermediaries rather than intended parents or surrogates, meaning Spahn and Funke have committed no criminal offence. Parenthood must be recognised by German authorities after the event, a step that is straightforward where one father is the genetic parent.

Surrogacy in the US costs well over €100,000, according to public broadcaster ZDF, a sum beyond the reach of most German couples.

Spahn is not the first senior CDU politician to face backlash over the issue. On April 16, 2026, fellow CDU MP Hendrik Streeck and his husband Paul Zubeil announced the birth of their son, reportedly via a surrogate in Idaho.

Critics argue that Spahn has benefited from a system unavailable to most Germans while continuing to support a domestic ban.

Marion Rosin, chairwoman of the Women’s Union in the eastern state of Thuringia and a CDU member of the regional parliament, argued that circumventing the German ban through a foreign arrangement violated the spirit of the law and damaged the credibility of the politician.

“Surrogacy is banned in Germany for good ethical reasons,” she told the Funke Mediengruppe, before suggesting that he should resign.

Criticism has also come from outside the CDU. Alice Schwarzer, the feminist writer who founded the magazine Emma, said the ban was justified, arguing that the practice treats both women and children as commodities.

“Human beings are not commodities. Neither a woman as a breeding machine nor a child produced for money should be for sale,” she told the Katholische Nachrichten-Agentur, a Catholic news agency.

Greens MP Paula Piechotta told Bild that Spahn was denying millions of Germans access to a practice he had chosen for himself, while Social Democratic Party (SPD) MP Carmen Wegge told Der Spiegel that those who could afford it took the route abroad.

Spahn has not responded publicly to the criticism since the announcement of the birth. Sources close to him said the decision to go to the US had been shaped by the position of surrogates there, who they said had to be financially independent and already have children of their own.

The same sources said Spahn drew no political demands from his private life and was not seeking to change German law.

Chancellor Friedrich Merz, who leads the CDU, said Spahn had told him on July 10, 2026 that the couple were becoming parents and that he had congratulated him. He declined to comment further.

A CDU spokeswoman said the existing ban should remain in place, referring to a resolution adopted at the CDU party congress in February 2026 that rejected surrogacy, including in altruistic form.

The controversy also comes amid a wider international debate over surrogacy.

In a report to the UN General Assembly presented on October 10, 2025, UN Special Rapporteur on violence against women and girls Reem Alsalem urged countries to move towards abolishing surrogacy globally, describing it as “a system of violence, exploitation and abuse against women”. She argued that the practice reduces women and children to commodities and encourages their exploitation and abuse.

Trio arrested for allegedly beating and dragging woman onto Mallorca beach in attempted rape are Moroccan brothers

Three Moroccan brothers have been arrested in Mallorca after allegedly attacking and attempting to rape a young woman who rejected them in a nightlife district near Playa de Palma.

According to Diario de Mallorca, the suspects, aged 18, 23 and 26, approached the woman at around 5 a.m. on June 30 and attempted to flirt with her.

When she told them to “fuck off,” police say the three men became violent, grabbed her by the neck, and dragged her from the street onto the sand.

The brothers allegedly groped her and tried to pull down her pants, intending to rape her.

The woman screamed and fought back as the suspects kicked her and punched her in the face. Her resistance prevented her from being raped, and the three men eventually fled.

The victim, who is in her twenties, later reported the attack to the National Police but initially said only that she had been assaulted and that her mobile phone had been stolen.

She did not initially disclose the sexual assault because she felt “ashamed,” according to her later statement.

Around two weeks after the attack, the woman recognized the three suspects on the street, close to where the alleged assault occurred.

She was accompanied by a relative, who managed to detain two of the men while police were called. Officers searched the surrounding area and located the third brother shortly afterward.

Following the arrests, the woman submitted an additional statement detailing the alleged sexual touching and the attempt to remove her pants.

Police confirmed that all three suspects are Moroccan nationals with legal residency in Spain.

Mallorca al Día reported that, with an attempted rape and an assault charge, the suspects could face custodial sentences of between 4 and 10 years, with the group attack and brutality used being significant aggravating factors should they be charged.

Italy Investigates NGO ‘Rescuing’ Migrants from Smuggler Boats (Video)

Screengrab youtube

Italian prosecutors are investigating the captain of the ship Sea-Watch 5 for possible aggravated complicity in illegal immigration after aerial footage recorded by Frontex showed the German NGO vessel receiving migrants directly from a boat apparently operated by smugglers.

The footage, recorded on May 11th, approximately 45 miles northeast of Tripoli, shows five masked men supervising the transfer of 90 people using several smaller boats. Once the transfer is completed, the men wave to the crew and head back at high speed towards the Libyan coast. The following day, other videos show another vessel approaching the Sea-Watch 5 without any visible signs of damage or distress.

The ship later disembarked 166 people in Brindisi, Italy. Most of the illegal immigrants are Bangladeshi nationals, reports say. Italian police searched the vessel, copied its navigation data and seized several logbooks.

Sea-Watch denies that any prior rendezvous took place and maintains that its crew was fulfilling its international obligation to assist people in danger. The organisation also alleges that a Libyan patrol boat fired at and threatened the vessel during the operation.

The investigation will have to determine whether there was prior coordination or whether the incident was a rescue carried out in response to a dangerous situation. That distinction is essential. Maritime conventions require assistance to be provided regardless of the immigration status of those on board. But the duty to rescue cannot become automatic immunity when there are indications of organised contact with those paid to transport people illegally into Europe.

Brussels should use the case to close a grey area that has weakened its migration policy for years. A European proposal to harmonise the prosecution of migrant smuggling is still under negotiation, and the Irish Presidency of the Council has announced that it will make the legislation a priority.

Future legislation should require private vessels to hand over their communications, navigation data and audiovisual records; cooperate immediately with Frontex and national prosecutors; submit to financial audits; and provisionally suspend their operations when there is substantial evidence of collaboration with criminal networks.

A clear exemption must also be preserved for genuine rescue operations. Criminalising every act of rescue would be illegal and irresponsible. Automatically excluding NGOs from any possible liability would be equally so. A humanitarian flag cannot serve as a shield from criminal prosecution.

Germany: Turkish man refuses to sit next to woman and punches flight attendant in the face

Medforth AI

Not a day goes by without the incompatibility of Islam and its archaic tenets with free Western societies becoming apparent. It has now emerged that on June 1, a 29-year-old man from the Ruhr region with a Turkish migrant background, whilst on a Turkish Airlines flight bound for Düsseldorf, initially refused to sit next to a woman and then struck a flight attendant in the face when she confronted him about it. The Federal Police were called to the aircraft after it had landed at Düsseldorf Airport to take a statement regarding the assault. This has since been handed over to the Düsseldorf police.

A spokesperson explained that, according to initial witness statements, the man had invoked Sharia law when refusing to sit next to a woman. According to the newspaper Bild, he admitted to federal police officers that he had struck the flight attendant. This illustrates the frenzied aggression of Muslims in two ways: first, the man refused to sit next to a woman, citing the Stone Age Islamic Sharia law; then, he could find no other way to express himself than by striking a flight attendant in the face.

What is taking place in Germany and across large parts of Europe is a regression to pre-civilisational conditions. Such incidents are now all too common; at worst, they end fatally when Muslims either deliberately target ‘infidels’ or stab, beat or shoot one another in the course of a dispute. This Wednesday alone, an Afghan man in Ruhpolding, Upper Bavaria, chased children and passers-by with a knife drawn. Once again, miraculously, no one was killed.

Another Afghan stabbed a student to death in Trier, and in Dresden a Turkish man shouting “Allahu Akbar” opened fire on police officers and was eventually shot down by them – all in the space of a single day. In schools, Muslim pupils demand that everyone else respect their religious customs, demand special privileges and intimidate anyone who refuses to comply. The incident on the aeroplane fits seamlessly into this overall picture, which shows the direction in which Europe is heading.

SOCIALIST GRIFT: Madrid Court Rejects Appeal, and Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez’s Wife, Begoña Gomez, WILL STAND TRIAL for Influence Peddling and Embezzlement

Begoña Gomez – Wiki Commons

Sánchez’s family is always in the headlines, for all the wrong reasons.

A Spanish court rejected for the most part the appeal by Begoña Gomez, the wife of Spain’s prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, and she will have to stand ​trial before a jury on charges of influence peddling and embezzlement.

It’s another heavy blow for the Socialist government, embroiled in months of graft investigations and scandals.’

This development comes only two days after the PM’s brother David Sáchez was convicted, as you can read in ENDLESS SOCIALIST SCANDALS: Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez’s Brother David Convicted of Nepotism and Administrative Misconduct, Banned From Public Service for 9 years.

Reuters reported:

“Begoña Gomez’s defense team had launched an appeal, asking Madrid’s high court to drop the charges made against her that she denies, and ​lift other orders imposed on her by a lower court last month.

The Madrid court dropped a third ​charge of corruption in business against Gomez, and lifted the lower court’s order ⁠barring her from leaving the country, making her regularly report to court and requiring her ​to surrender her passport.

But it kept the bulk of the case against her – the most serious legal ​challenge faced by the family and close associates of Socialist Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez.”

France24 reported:

“The case centers on the creation and management of a chair at Madrid’s Complutense University that was co-directed by Gomez, as well as the alleged use of public resources and personal connections to advance private interests.

[…] The Madrid provincial court said in a statement that it had maintained the two charges of influence peddling and embezzlement but dismissed the accusations of corruption in business dealings and misappropriation.

The court also lifted Gomez’s travel ban. No appeals against the ruling are possible.

Sanchez has dismissed the allegations as an attempt by the right to undermine his government, after a complaint by an anti-corruption group with far-right ties originated the case.”

Thuringia parliament to hold hearing on AfD ban

29 May 2026, Thuringia, Pfiffelbach: Björn Höcke, Chairman of the AfD in Thuringia, speaks at the state party conference of the AfD Thuringia. The delegates to the national AfD party conference in Erfurt are elected here. Screengrab youtube

The parliament of the German state of Thuringia, in eastern Germany, has scheduled a public hearing to examine possible steps towards banning the Alternative for Germany (AfD), bringing one of the country’s most controversial constitutional debates into a regional legislature.

The Thuringian parliament’s justice committee is expected to hold the hearing on September 30, 2026. The initiative originated with the Left party and will bring together invited speakers to discuss the legal and political case for a possible ban.

It would be the first time a committee of any German parliament has examined the question in a public session. The parliamentary groups have named 15 speakers and experts, who are due to argue for or against a prohibition, Die Zeit reported.

A written consultation is running in parallel, with a deadline of August 30 for submissions, the Left group in the Thuringian parliament has said.

The hearing does not mean that the Thuringian parliament can itself outlaw the AfD. Under Germany’s constitutional system, only the Federal Constitutional Court can ban a political party, following an application by the Bundestag (the elected federal parliament), the Bundesrat (the body representing Germany’s 16 states) or the federal government.

By holding the hearing, the Thuringian parliament can examine evidence, expert assessments and legal arguments about whether the AfD’s activities and objectives could be considered incompatible with Germany’s democratic constitutional order. Its findings could be used by the Bundestag, Bundesrat or federal government when considering whether to file an application before the Federal Constitutional Court.

If the court ultimately ruled in favour of a prohibition, the ban would apply to the AfD across the whole of Germany, not only in Thuringia. The same route applies to a partial ban covering a single state branch.

The debate over a possible AfD ban comes at a time when the party has become the strongest political force in Germany. According to an INSA poll published on July 7, 2026, the AfD was polling at 29 per cent nationally, ahead of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and its Bavarian sister party the Christian Social Union (CSU) at 22 per cent.

The party’s strength is even more pronounced in Thuringia. According to an INSA poll published on July 2, 2026, for FUNKE Medien Thüringen, the AfD would receive 40 per cent of the vote if a new Thuringian state election were held. The CDU was measured at 22 per cent, while the Left party stood at 16 per cent.

The case has particular significance because the AfD’s Thuringian branch, led by Björn Höcke, has been classified by the state Office for the Protection of the Constitution as a confirmed right-wing extremist organisation since 2021. Supporters of a possible ban argue that Germany’s democratic system has the right and duty to defend itself against political forces they believe seek to undermine the constitutional order.

The controversy lies in the fact that such a measure would target the country’s most successful political party at the ballot box. Critics argue that banning the AfD in the name of defending democracy would create a fundamental democratic dilemma: Whether a party supported by millions of voters should be excluded from political competition because state institutions consider it a threat to the constitutional system.

They warn that a prohibition could strengthen the AfD’s argument that the political establishment is attempting to silence voters rather than defeat the party through elections. The final decision would remain entirely with the Federal Constitutional Court, and the legal threshold for banning a political party in Germany is deliberately high.

Thuringia’s interior minister Georg Maier, a Social Democrat, has argued in favour of examining a ban of the AfD’s state branch. He told Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung that the party under Höcke had always been the driving force towards the völkisch and had gained influence since its congress in Erfurt.

Among those invited to participate in the hearing is German entertainer Hape Kerkeling, Die Zeit reported. His inclusion has attracted attention because he is not a constitutional lawyer or political scientist.

Kerkeling has, though, publicly supported examining a possible AfD ban and has spoken about Germany’s Nazi past and his own family history. He addressed a ceremony in April marking the liberation of the Buchenwald concentration camp, where his grandfather Hermann Kerkeling was held as a political prisoner and subjected to forced labour and torture.

France legalizes euthanasia and assisted suicide, fulfilling Macron’s promise

France passed a bill on Wednesday legalizing euthanasia and assisted suicide after an aggressive push, despite continued opposition from the French Senate.

The 291-241 vote makes France one of a handful of European countries that have legalized killing oneself in a medical setting, including Spain, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg.

The vote is the result of a long parliamentary battle, three years after President Emmanuel Macron first introduced the issue by calling for an “aid in dying” law. Over the span of 14 months, members of the National Assembly passed the bill three times before senators rejected it each time.

“In 2022, I made a commitment to open this path with the French people,” Macron said on X. “With seriousness, humility, and in full respect of our democracy, that commitment has been honored.”

“On July 7, the Senate passed, by a narrow majority of 169 to 164 … a preliminary motion to outright reject the bill rather than debate it, and this motion itself called on the government to end the legislative process,” Catholic World Report explained. “Rather than heeding this call, Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu invoked Article 45 of the Constitution, which allows the government to give the National Assembly the final say when repeated readings fail to produce an agreement between the two chambers. He then referred the bill back to the National Assembly for a fourth and final vote instead of a fourth reading in the Senate.”

Thus, the bill passed because the National Assembly overrode the Senate’s opposition, as is permitted under the French Constitution.

The law cannot go into effect until the Constitutional Council reviews it, within a month. It legalizes both euthanasia, in which a lethal substance is administered by a doctor or nurse, and assisted suicide, in which the patient self-administers it.

To be eligible for either form of death, the patient must be an adult, a resident of France, deemed mentally stable, diagnosed with a serious and incurable illness, in an allegedly advanced or “terminal” phase of that illness, and reportedly unable to obtain relief from suffering through an existing treatment. The patient must be deemed capable of making a free and informed decision.

Pro-life advocates have noted that such “safeguards” – which still allow for murder and suicide – are often violated in practice and later rescinded.

Self-administered death is to be the default, while a doctor or nurse may administer the lethal injection only if the patient is physically unable to do it.
