Some politicians are accused of being two-faced, but one candidate for office in the UK has no face. Fajila Patel wants to be the first faceless politician by getting elected wearing a burka. Newspapers claim that Fajila is 36-years-old and a mother of four, but critics argue that it could really be anyone under there. Her ‘Niqab’is one of the most extreme versions of the garment that some people associate with the ‘burka’, spread out of Saudi Arabia and covers everything except the eyes. (Some Muslims insist on also partly or entirely covering the eyes of women.) In the UK, which already appears to be run by faceless bureaucracies, elected officials are supposed to offer what the Czechs had very briefly called “socialism with a human face”. But what happens when the socialists with a human face are replaced by faceless Islamists? Fajila, or whoever is under there at any given time, had already run for office and lost back in 2022 to another Pakistani candidate in an area that is 84% M...

Fourteen years ago, the Southern Poverty Law Center named me a hate group of one. The honor wasn’t mine alone, I shared it with a sign outside a bar and a brand of gun oil. What was behind the SPLC’s sloppy hate group designation of one man, a bar sign and other random items was its obsession with manufacturing a constant rise in ‘hate groups.’ Year after year, the SPLC would issue reports claiming that hate groups were increasing in number, and then fundraise off the urgent threat that they had invented. I caught them doing it time and time again. In 2017, the SPLC issued a report claiming that the “number of anti-Muslim hate groups tripled since 2015”. How did the leftist group arrive at this number? It listed Act for America, a patriotic organization started by a Christian refugee from Islamic persecution, as one group in 2015. Then it listed 45 chapters of Act for America as separate organizations in 2017. Suddenly the number of ‘Islamophobic’ groups had tripled . Such pathetica...

When Al Sharpton celebrated the 35th anniversary of his hate group and shakedown operation, the National Action Network, which has been linked to the killings of at least 9 people in various hate crimes, presidential hopefuls celebrated with him. Former Vice President Kamala Harris, still Sharpton’s favorite after her previous pledge at the National Action Network to implement racial reparations, was there, as were former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, hoping to compensate for his notoriously poor performance with black voters, Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro, humiliating himself one more time, Gov. Wes Moore of Maryland, just caught lying about his past, Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, the man Sharpton would be if he were white and hadn’t stopped eating everything in sight, Sen. Mark Kelly, hoping to meet his first black person, and Rep. Ro Khanna, a sleazy Silicon Valley grifter backed by an Epstein associate, who claims to be against the ‘Epstein Class’, and a champion of bann...

For 125 years, a monument was supposed to rise on what is now a traffic circle by Arlington National Cemetery. Now, President Trump has proposed a 250 foot tall ‘Independence Arch’ (one year for every year of America’s existence) to mark the nation’s 250th birthday. Democrats however have rallied in defense of the traffic circle in the name of the Confederacy. After President Trump’s reelection, the demolitionist party that had cheered the toppling of monuments, the vandalism of the statues of Columbus, Lincoln and Francis Scott Key, suddenly became born-again preservationists, clutching their pearls over the White House ballroom, the Kennedy Center renovations and now the even more suddenly sacred traffic circle. Calling for the preservation of a traffic circle, one that doesn’t even have BLM stenciled on it, is an uphill battle, especially since the ‘preservationists’ suddenly interested in it had never expressed any prior interest in the particular traffic circle. It’s not that th...

  " Who can count the dust of Jacob or number the seed of Israel ." Numbers 23:10 The sun sets above the hills. The siren cries out and on the busy highways that wend among the hills,  the traffic stops ,  the people stop , and a moment of silence comes to a noisy country. Flags fly at half mast, the torch of remembrance is lit, memorial candles are held in shaking hands and the country's own version of the Flanders Field poppy, the Red Everlasting daisy, dubbed Blood of the Maccabees, adorns lapels. And so begins the Yom Hazikaron, Heroes Remembrance Day, the day of remembrance for fallen soldiers and victims of terror-- Israel's Memorial Day. What is a memorial day in a country that has always known war and where remembrance means adding the toll of one year's dead and wounded to the scales of history? A country where war never ends, where the sirens may pause but never stop, where each generation grows up knowing that they will have to fight or flee. To stand w...

In 1955, Algeria had over 1 million Catholics and 140,000 Jews. Today, as Pope Leo visits Algeria, there are some 8,000 Catholics in Algeria and there are fewer than 200 Jews. 99% of the population of what was one of the old territories of Christianity are Sunni Muslims. Was Islam so popular that all the Christians and Jews decided to convert? Not at all. They were persecuted, murdered, tortured and driven out by Islamic violence that occurred in our lifetimes. Christians and Jews had lived in Algeria since Roman times. Now they’re gone. This Christian genocide was endorsed by major world powers, aided and abetted by the French government and celebrated in movies, books and classroom lessons. And by Pope Leo XIV. Alongside paying tribute to the 19 Martyrs of Algeria, beatified in 2018, priests, monks and nuns, including 7 beheaded monks and 2 nuns murdered on the way to mass, by Islamic terrorists who later received amnesty for their crimes, Pope Leo also paid tribute to Muslim Jihadis...

Terrorism in Western nations rose sharply last year with a recorded 280% increase from 2024. That’s the conclusion of the Institute for Economics and Peace’s Global Terrorism Index report. According to the index, the driving cause was Islamic terrorism “including the New Orleans truck attack in the United States in January, and the Bondi Beach shooting in Australia in December” and “most of these deaths and attacks were caused by jihadist groups or affiliated individuals.” In the United States, deaths from terrorism attacks hit their highest level since 2019 with 28 killings. This includes not only various Islamic terrorist attacks, but the assassination of Charlie Kirk by a radical leftist angry at his opposition to transgender identity politics. America accounts for half the terrorism casualties in western nations, but these numbers pale compared to 5,582 people killed worldwide in 2,944 terrorist attacks. 70% of these worldwide terrorist attacks were carried out by four Muslim terr...
