Islamic Insanity > Malmo will be predominently Muslim in 1 Generation; Nurses at Gaza Hospital cheered Hamas for its prisoners

 

U.S.-based Muslim cleric boasts that Muslims

will become majority in Swedish cities

in just one generation

And when that happens, leftists will find the diversity they have demanded that we celebrate for so long becoming quickly and inexorably more monochromatic than they ever expected.

Muslims will become majority in Swedish cities in just 

1 generation, boasts Pakistani-born theologian

by John Cody, Remix News, March 13, 2024:

Swedish women have never had so few children as in 2023, new data shows. Based on the childbearing gap, Yasir Qadhi, a Pakistani-born American theologian, predicts that in just one generation, half of Malmö’s population will be Muslim.

“Walking through the streets of Malmö is like walking through Baghdad, the capital of Iraq, or Damascus, the capital of Syria,” said Yasir Qadhi, a Pakistani-born American theologian, as reported in the Swedish newspaper Samnytt.

Qadhi, who has a doctorate in theology from Yale University, gave lectures on Islam to young Muslims in Stockholm and Malmö. He says he asked himself during his visit to Malmö whether he was in Sweden, according to a video he posted on YouTube.

He also shared his theory with the world that the towns he mentioned would become Muslim towns because while Swedes have few children, it is not uncommon for a Muslim family to have five or six. In a generation’s time, Malmö will not be dominated by Swedes, according to the theologian.

As Remix News previously reported, ethnic Swedish children are already a minority in the school system of Malmö, with one Swedish academic reacting to the massive demographic transformation known as the Great Replacement by claiming that schools should be taught in Arabic, as Swedish is now a minority language.

Associate professor of social work, Erica Righard, who works at Malmö University, wrote in her report for the Growth Commission, that the demographic changes present “new challenges for integration.”

Come on, Erica, there is no integration. For Heaven's sake look around! Muslims will never integrate, Swedes will integrate, because they won't have any choice. Your granddaughters will be in hijabs.

Conservatives in Sweden have long pointed to Malmö as a harbinger of a future that the majority of Swedes remain opposed to, as the city has completely transformed from nearly all ethnic Swedes into a multicultural area marked by urban decay, no-go zones controlled by migrant clans, and a city unsafe for women in many areas


 

 

Freed hostage: Nurses at Gaza hospital were cheering

that Hamas ‘came back with prey, with Israeli-Jewish prey’

Woe to those who call evil good and good evil.

Freed hostage: Nurses at Gaza hospital were cheering

Israel National News, March 14, 2024:

Judith Raanan, a Chicago-area resident who was kidnapped together with her daughter, Natalie, by Hamas during its October 7 attack on Israel, said her captors were greeted as heroes when she and her daughter arrived at a Gaza hospital.

“The minute we came in, all the nurses were standing there and going like this [cheering]. They were all so happy that they came back with prey, with Israeli-Jewish prey,” Raanan told NewsNation in an interview on Wednesday.

Judith and Natalie Raanan were the first hostages to be freed by Hamas. They were released on October 20, after nearly two weeks in captivity.

At the hospital, Raanan said she interacted with a man she believed to be a “very high-ranked” Hamas leader who spoke “brilliant Hebrew.”…

Bits and Bites from around the World > Deadly Bear attacks in Slovakia

March 17 (UPI) -- Two people were hospitalized after being attacked by a bear in Slovakia, officials reported Sunday. The Environment Ministry may propose making the animals easier to hunt to reduce their population.

A 49-year-old woman suffered a wound to her shoulder and a 72-year-old man was treated for a gash on his hand from the bear in the town of Liptovsky Mikuláš, emergency services said.

Police drove the bear out of town, they reported.

Videos posted on social media showed the bear bounding along a road, and in one, lunging at a man on the pavement.

A day prior to the latest attack, a 31-year-old Belarussian woman apparently fell to her death trying to escape a brown bear in the nearby Low Tatra mountains.

She and a male companion had been walking in the thickly forested area when the bear approached them.

The man and woman fled in different directions. A rescue dog found the victim's body shortly after the male hiker called authorities for help.

There have been several relatively recent bear attacks in Slovakia including a fatal one in 2021. The country had not reported a lethal bear attack in more than a century.

Improved protections in Central and Eastern Europe have meant bears have returned to their natural habitats across the Carpathian mountain range, which stretches from Romania through western Ukraine and to Slovakia and Poland.

The uptick in human-bear interactions has prompted the Environment Ministry to consider calling on the European Union to loosen protections for bears, making it easier to hunt them in an attempt to reduce their numbers and lower the threat of such encounters.

The ministry has said it may revisit the bears' status on the protected species list, arguing their increasing numbers mean they are no longer endangered and can be selectively hunted, culling the herds.

Researchers have argued there has been no sharp increase in Slovakia's bear population, which they say remains stable at around 1,275.

Corruption is Everywhere - Another day, another Boeing plane loses a part

 

Sacrificing safety for the sake of profits is a despicable form of corruption.


United Airlines crew finds panel missing on Boeing 737 plane after landing

Boeing incidents raise more safety concerns

WATCH: Joe Scarpelli is joined by Capt. Richard J. Levy, Former Commerical Pilot and Aviation Expert, to discuss recent issues with Boeing airplanes that have raised concerns about reliability and safety

A Boeing 737-800 aircraft operated by United Airlines flew Friday with a large part of its exterior missing, according to the airline, marking the latest in a series of malfunctions to plague the manufacturer.

The flight from San Francisco to Oregon landed safely, but upon arrival crews discovered a broken exterior panel on the 25-year-old aircraft.

According to a statement from United Airlines, no emergency had been declared and the missing piece was not discovered until all 139 passengers and six crew members safely disembarked from the plane.

“We’ll conduct a thorough examination of the plane and perform all the needed repairs before it returns to service,” the airline said.

The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) says it has launched an investigation into the incident. It marks the seventh reported incident involving a Boeing plane just this week.

Despite travelers’ growing fears of flying with Boeing, aviation expert Richard Levy says this latest incident is not a concern.

“The airplane did not just come out of the Boeing factory. It was an older aircraft. The airplane landed safely. Yes, it’s going to be an investigation because of the recent news with Boeing. But as far as safety, this does not concern me whatsoever,” said Levy, who is also a former commercial pilot.

According to FAA records, the Boeing aircraft Friday was built in late 1998.

Boeing has been facing intense scrutiny over the quality of its aircrafts after an Alaska Airlines 737 Max 9 was forced to make an emergency landing on Jan. 5, when a panel called a door plug blew out of the side of the plane shortly after takeoff from Portland, Oregon.

Three passengers who were on board the flight have since sued the airline and Boeing, claiming the incident was caused by negligence.

Levy notes that the Boeing aircraft used by United Airlines was not a ‘Max’, which is the model associated with the Alaska Airlines incident and most under probe.

Boeing makes great airplanes. We know that Boeing is under the spotlight right now… but would you also believe that Airbus has issues? Not daily, but almost every day,” Levy told Global News.

Airbus is another major aircraft manufacturing company with planes commonly operated by Air Canada.

Levy says he would have “zero hesitation” flying with his wife on any Boeing model, including the 737, 777, Max 8 or 9.

“I flew these Boeing airplanes 41 years, had a great time flying them, and I had really no engine shutdowns,” Levy said.

Since the January incident, Boeing has frequently made headlines for seemingly unrelated safety and quality issues.

Earlier this March, a tire fell off a Boeing jetliner shortly after takeoff at San Francisco International Airport, breaking through a fence in a parking lot below and smashing into cars.

Also in January, the nose wheel of a Delta Air Lines Boeing 757 passenger jet fell off and rolled away as the aircraft waited on the runway for takeoff clearance at Georgia’s Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.

On Monday, at least 50 people were injured after a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner dropped abruptly in what LATAM Airlines described as a “strong movement” mid-air.

The FAA launched an investigation into Boeing in March 2023, almost a year before the Alaska Airlines incident, following fatal crashes of Boeing 787 MAX-8 planes flown by Lion Air and Ethiopian Airlines in 2018.

The report concluded in February that Boeing is not as committed to safety as it says it is. It said the FAA “observed documentation, survey responses, and employee interviews that did not provide objective evidence of a foundational commitment to safety that matched Boeing’s descriptions of that objective.”

A few weeks early, FAA head Michael Whitaker told told U.S. lawmakers that Boeing’s oversight system “is not working.”

“I certainly agree the current system is not working because it’s not delivering safe aircraft, so we have to make changes to that,” he said.

Regarding the most recent incident Friday, Levy says the public shouldn’t hesitate to travel on a Boeing aircraft.

“Boeing will be producing more and more airplanes that are going to be good airplanes, safe airplanes,” he said.
