Dr Aladwan became a bit of a hero on the left after she was fired from the NHS and has been championed as a free speech advocate. But at least to me it seems hypocritical that a free speech advocate is supporting the death penalty for someone whose speech she disagrees with

Momika was fatally shot on 29 January 2025, at the age of 38. The murder happened at his home in Södertälje during a TikTok livestream. Five arrests have been made in connection with the shooting, according to a Swedish prosecutor.[48][49] All five individuals were released on 31 January after prosecutors said that the suspicions they committed a crime had weakened.] As a result of his death, the Stockholm District Court dropped all charges against Salwan Momika.

Momika's death was met with protests and mixed reactions, with various figures as well as organisations in the Islamic world celebrating his death and conservative politicians in the EU condemning his death as well as the circumstances that made it possible. Momika's death was celebrated by Al-Qaeda's Arabian Peninsula branch, who issued a statement congratulating the Ummah on "the victory of the Qur'an". This sentiment was shared by many Islamists online, with some campaigning online for incitement against Momika in wake of his death.

On 3 February 2025, 50-year-old Salwan Najem, a Swedish citizen of Iraqi origin who had participated in Quran desecrations alongside Momika, received a suspended sentence and a fine of 4,000 kronor by Stockholm District Court for "agitation against a demographic group". The judgement ruled that although the book burnings did not constitute hate crimes, Najem had committed hate crimes by "having expressed contempt for the Muslim demographic group because of their religious beliefs on four occasions" during the filmed demonstrations.

I am an atheist and from Egypt originally and because of attitudes like this I was able to get asylum in the US. Otherwise I would have been in danger even from my own family.

An attempted homicide occurred in Kirberg, western Hesse, on Sunday morning. A 50-year-old man allegedly seriously injured his wife with a kitchen knife in a bakery in Kirberg. According to initial findings, bystanders intervened and prevented the man from carrying out further attacks. NIUS has video footage of the incident.

Around 11 a.m., a 50-year-old man entered a bakery on Wassergasse. His estranged wife was also present at the time. The man attacked her with a kitchen knife while they were still inside the bakery. She suffered multiple serious stab and slash wounds. Despite her injuries, she managed to escape.

In response to an inquiry from NIUS, the public prosecutor's office in Limburg an der Lahn stated that the suspect holds German citizenship but was born in Kazakhstan. Due to the ongoing investigation, the prosecutor's office could not answer questions regarding how long he has lived in Germany, when he acquired German citizenship, whether there is any indication of an attempted honor killing, and whether he has a criminal record.

https://www.politico.eu/article/marine-le-pen-national-rally-france-backlash-hijab-ban-proposal/

The proposal is dominating the French political news cycle after a lawmaker from Le Pen’s National Rally said Sunday that wearing the hijab in public would become a fineable offense if she took office. Le Pen is currently polling with a double-digit lead ahead of the first round of the spring 2027 French presidential election.

Left-wing political leaders and civil liberties advocates in France lambasted Le Pen’s proposal as Islamophobic and discriminatory. The hijab is a headscarf worn by some Muslim women.

Jean-Luc Mélenchon, the leading leftist candidate for next year’s presidential election, according to the most recent polling, accused Le Pen of wanting to set up an “Iranian-style clothing police” in a post on X. SOS Racisme, a French anti-racism watchdog, said Le Pen was looking to “chase Muslim women out of public areas.”

Center-right candidate Edouard Philippe said the state should focus on combatting “Islamism and extremists, not French Muslims,” and conservative candidate Bruno Retailleau argued it would be a poor use of police resources.

Debate about the hijab, which is worn by 26 percent of French Muslim women aged 18 to 49 according to a 2023 report from the French national statistics agency, regularly comes up in France.

It is one of the few European countries to have entirely outlawed wearing full-face veils in public and was the only country to ban its own athletes from wearing the hijab during the 2024 Olympics in Paris. Religious head coverings, including hijabs and kippas, have been banned in schools since 2004.

I still get so many Muslim accounts on my feed. So many of them have been celebrating the disaster in Nepal. Never felt more vindicated in leaving the religion

Senegal's President Bassirou Diomaye Faye has signed a new law doubling to 10 years the maximum prison term for sexual acts by same-sex couples.

The new law also criminalises the "promotion" of homosexuality, which includes any public representation and financial support by individuals or organisations, and provides for three to seven years in prison for those found guilty.

The legislation was a campaign promise of President Faye and Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko and was approved by parliament last month.

Dearborn — One of the men who was videotaped assaulting an anti-Muslim activist during an Aug 2 religious celebration is a convicted murderer and a "criminal alien from Iraq" who is in federal custody awaiting a deportation hearing, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials said Wednesday.

According to one video a man walked up to Lang and punched him from behind. A group of men then chased Lang through a lot, some pummeling him with stones, before police officers pushed him into a cruiser and told the crowd to disperse, according to the videos.

Dearborn Police have arrested three people in connection with the beating: two 25-year-old men, one from Detroit, the other from Dearborn; and 57-year-old Dearborn resident Abbas Abdoush, 57, who is "a criminal illegal alien from Iraq," according to ICE officials.

In 1992, Abdoush was admitted into the United States as a lawful permanent resident after emigrating from Iraq, making him a non-U.S. citizen with legal permission to live and work here, according to ICE. But Abdoush violated that status when he was convicted in 1999 for second-degree murder, the federal agency said.

According to a 2005 Michigan Court of Appeals report on Jan. 25, 1998, Abdoush intentionally hit a woman with a borrowed van in southwest Detroit. The victim later died.

Abdoush was convicted, sentenced to 15-25 years in prison and was paroled in 2014.

The Dearborn Police Department, which has a policy not to cooperate with federal immigration agencies, was not involved with Abdoush's arrest, Bartok said.

"He was released from our system, and we had no knowledge he was going to be arrested," Bartok said, adding that federal agents likely tracked Abdoush down through his GPS tether.

‘A sense of betrayal’: liberal dismay as Muslim-led US city bans Pride flags

Many liberals celebrated when Hamtramck, Michigan, elected a Muslim-majority council in 2015 but a vote to exclude LGBTQ+ flags from city property has soured relations

https://www.wxyz.com/news/hamtramck-city-council-votes-to-allow-animal-sacrifice-for-religious-purposes-in-the-city

(WXYZ) — After months of debate, the city council has voted to allow the practice of animal sacrifice, for religious purposes, in Hamtramck.

The decision ultimately came down to a more than 30-year-old U.S. Supreme Court ruling that says cities cannot infringe on religious freedom under the first amendment.

The act of animal sacrifice is often practiced among Muslims during Eid.

“Our city is dirty enough. We don't want to make it more dirty,” a Hamtramck resident said during a city hall meeting.

The ordinance that was passed Tuesday night says religious sacrificing of animals can be done as long as it is done legally and humanely.

"I think it’s the best compromise. We don't want to restrict religious freedoms and we don't want to keep it random without regulations," Hamtramck Mayor Amer Ghalib said.

Many Muslims pay a butcher to perform the religious sacrifice but for some families, it's just not practical.

“A lot of families will typically do it in the confines of their property like in their backyard or their garage and dispose of the animal accordingly," Director of Safe Spaces at Cair Michigan Nour Ali said.

The Red Cross has deleted a film tracking the journey of an Afghan migrant who is now accused of killing a British woman and hiding her body in a suitcase in Greece. 

Sharif Ahmadzai, 26, was arrested on Monday over the murder of Scottish Christian Elisabeth-Jane Ross, in Athens. 

Ahmadzai, a professional boxer who arrived in Greece on a small boat in 2016, is accused of killing Ms Ross before stuffing her body into a suitcase and ditching it in a derelict building.
