Muslim Population in Europe Could Triple by 2050; even Increase with ‘Zero Migration’ – Study

Europe's race to cultural suicide

What increasing percentages of Muslims will look like in Europe

A revealing survey by Pew Research Center, ‘Europe’s Growing Muslim Population’, looks at the future of the 25.8 million Muslims currently residing in European countries. Citing a comprehensive swath of data, it is an attempt to see how the size of Europe’s Muslim population may change in the coming decades, depending on levels of migration.

All three scenarios – zero, moderate and high – considered by researchers produced a thought-provoking outcome: the number of Muslims in Europe will rise at any rate of migration, as they are younger and “have higher fertility (one child more per woman, on average) than other Europeans, mirroring a global pattern.”

Under a first, “zero migration” scenario, the Muslim population of Europe still would be expected to rise from the current level of 4.9 percent to 7.4 percent (roughly 36 million) by the year 2050 even “if all migration into Europe were to immediately and permanently stop.”

A second, “medium” migration scenario assumes that the flows of refugees stop, but “regular” migrants continue to come for reasons other than fleeing wars and instability. Under these conditions, Muslims could comprise 11.2 percent (59 million) of Europe’s population in 2050.

In a third, “high” migration scenario, the heavy influx of predominantly Muslim migrants recorded between 2014 and 2016 continues indefinitely. In this case, Muslims could make up 14 percent (75 million) of Europe’s population by 2050 – nearly triple the current figure.

Should that happen, several major European countries are expected to shoulder most of the burden. In Sweden, nearly a third of the population (4.5 million, or 30 percent) would be Muslims, whereas in Austria and Germany Muslims would represent up to 19 percent of the population.

Also, if high migration continues until 2050, Britain’s Muslim share will grow to 17.2 percent, Finland’s to 15 percent and Norway’s to 17 percent.

Pew Research Religion:

These four maps show estimated Muslim populations in Europe in 2016, and projections for 2050 in zero migration, medium migration and high migration scenarios: http://pewrsr.ch/2inJnRY 

Interesting! Scenarios 3 and 4 show minor increases in UK and France but huge increases in Germany and Sweden - doubling in Germany and Austria, and a 50% increase in Sweden.

“While Europe’s Muslim population is expected to grow in all three scenarios - and more than double in the medium and high migration scenarios – Europe’s non-Muslims, on the other hand, are projected to decline in total number in each scenario,” says the Pew report.

Interestingly, researchers noted that while Europe’s Muslim population is diverse, comprising Muslims born in Europe and in non-European countries, its self-identification still plays a role. “Levels of religious commitment and belief vary among Europe’s Muslim populations,” the report said.

Europe’s Muslim population is expected to grow in all three of the migration scenarios we modeled, while Europe’s non-Muslims are projected to decline in total number in each scenario http://pewrsr.ch/2inpNWn 

While some of those Muslims “would not describe Muslim identity as salient in their daily lives,” for others, Islamic identity “profoundly shapes their daily lives.” In the meantime, “not all children born to Muslim women will ultimately identify as Muslims, but children are generally more likely to adopt their parents’ religious identity than any other.”

From mid-2010 to mid-2016 alone, the share of Muslims in Europe rose more than 1 percentage point, from 3.8% to 4.9% (from 19.5M to 25.8M). By 2050, the share of the continent’s population that is Muslim could more than double, rising to 11.2% or more. http://pewrsr.ch/2io75hh 

Researchers said it was difficult – if not impossible – to predict future migration levels. “Although none of these scenarios will play out exactly as projected, each provides a set of rough parameters from which to imagine other possible outcomes,” the study added. 

There has been a heavy influx of migrants to Europe over the past two years, with Germany and Central European nations most affected, along with arrival points such as Italy and Greece.

The crisis gave rise to various far-right parties benefiting from popular fears of mass migration. In a bid to stem the flow of migrants, the EU undertook a major policy change, introducing tougher border controls and stricter eligibility criteria for new arrivals.

Previous polls suggested the majority of Europeans are wary of Muslim immigration. In August this year, Germany’s Bertelsmann Foundation found that every fifth European citizen does not want Muslims as neighbors. A February study by the UK-based think tank Chatham House revealed that an average of 55 percent of people in 10 European countries “agreed that all further migration from mainly Muslim countries should be stopped.”

This is the pattern with Muslim immigration. Dr. Peter Hammond described it this way.

When politically correct, tolerant, and culturally diverse societies agree to Muslim demands for their religious privileges, some of the other components tend to creep in as well. Here’s how it works. As long as the Muslim population remains around or under 2% in any given country, they will be for the most part be regarded as a peace-loving minority, and not as a threat to other citizens. At 2% to 5%, they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups, often with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs.

The UK's Muslim population was 2.7 million after the 2011 census, that's about 4.5%. No doubt it has exceeded 3 million and 5% by 2015. 

Turns out, that was a pretty good guess I made 2 years ago, if not a little conservative. 2016 numbers are 6.3%.

From 5% on, they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. For example, they will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature halal on their shelves — along with threats for failure to comply.

At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves (within their ghettos) under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islamists is to establish Sharia law over the entire world.

When Muslims approach 10% of the population, they tend to increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions. In Paris , we are already seeing car-burnings. Any non-Muslim action offends Islam, and results in uprisings and threats, such as in Amsterdam , with opposition to Mohammed cartoons and films about Islam. Such tensions are seen daily, particularly in Muslim sections, in: France, Sweden, etc.

After reaching 20%, nations can expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings, and the burnings of Christian churches and Jewish synagogues.

At 40%, nations experience widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks, and ongoing militia warfare, such as in Nigeria.

From 60%, nations experience unfettered persecution of non-believers of all other religions (including non-conforming Muslims), sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon, and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels.

After 80%, expect daily intimidation and violent jihad, some State-run ethnic cleansing, and even some genocide, as these nations drive out the infidels, and move toward 100% Muslim.

100% will usher in the peace of ‘Dar-es-Salaam’ — the Islamic House of Peace. Here there’s supposed to be peace, because everybody is a Muslim, the Madrasses are the only schools, and the Koran is the only word.

These are all national numbers - both Dr. Hammond's and PEWs. There are areas, of course, where those percentages are considerably higher than the national numbers; areas which are no-go zones or zones where Muslim criminals run the show.

Dr. Hammond did not include the frequency of rapes and sexual assaults of European girls and young women. Young Muslim men target white girls because they consider them all to be prostitutes and deserving of rape. That's Islam! It should be obvious to most Europeans that this problem is increasing dramatically, but governments and police forces often conspire with liberal news outlets to keep a lid on these things. This is sacrificing European girls on the altar of political correctness and stupidity.

Argentine ‘Death Flight’ Pilots get Life for 100s of Junta Opponents Thrown into Ocean

Judges in Argentina have given life sentences to the former ‘death flights’ pilots after hundreds of people opposing the country’s 1976-83 military junta – including a close friend of Pope Francis – were thrown into the ocean.

A military junta ousted Isabelle Peron in 1976. She had authorized the liquidation of opposing  (read left-wing, Marxist) factions, but the practice barely began before the military took over and ramped up the killing on a spectacular scale. Between 7 and 30 thousand people disappeared in the next 7-8 years, and many more were tortured and imprisoned.

According to Wikileaks, Henry Kissinger congratulated the junta for their excellent job of dealing with the left-wing insurgency.

A major ruling on Wednesday marked the “first” such Argentinian judgment against pilots involved in the notorious ‘death flights,’ local media reports. During the operations, opponents of Argentina’s military regime that ruled the country from 1976 until 1983 were thrown into the waters of the Atlantic.

According to the verdict, the announcement of which lasted almost four hours, 29 former service members were sentenced to life imprisonment, 19 were sentenced to eight to 25 years, and six were acquitted, local media report.

There are 54 defendants in the major trial. It also involves cases of 789 victims of a secret detention center – known as the Navy Mechanics Higher School (ESMA) – where up to 5,000 people opposing the repressive junta regime are believed to have vanished.

The five-year trial – called the ‘mega cause’ in Argentina – exposed the chilling practices of systematic torture and the killing of thousands of people, including left-wing opponents of the regime and members of Argentina’s urban guerrilla groups, but also human rights activists and relatives of those forcibly disappeared by junta forces. 

In a series of hearings, it emerged that numerous victims were drugged, loaded onto ‘death flight’ aircraft, and thrown into the freezing waters of the southern Atlantic Ocean. Among ESMA victims was Esther Careaga, a close friend of Jorge Bergoglio, who later became Pope Francis. Careaga was thrown to her death from a plane one night in December 1977, along with two French nuns and nine others.

“Careaga was a good friend and a great woman,” Beroglio said when the body was identified in 2003. The future pontiff met Careaga, a biochemist and his boss at the time, when he worked as an apprentice at a pharmaceutical laboratory in Buenos Aires in the early 1950s.

Ex-Salvadoran Colonel Extradited to Spain for Jesuit Massacre Trial

By Daniel Uria 

UPI -- The United States extradited ex-Salvadoran Col. Inocente Orlando Montano to Spain to stand trial for charges related to the slayings of six Jesuit priests.

Montano, 74, is set to face trial in Spain on Thursday and will be one of the first top-ranking Salvadoran commanders to face criminal prosecution.

He is one of 19 former Salvadoran military officials indicted in Spain for the 1989 deaths of Six Jesuit priests, five of whom were Spanish, as well as their housekeeper, and the housekeeper's 16-year old daughter during the 10-year Salvadoran civil conflict.

"Criminals and those lawfully charged with criminal offenses overseas should not be able to find safe haven in the United States," Acting Assistant Attorney General John Cronan said. "Today's extradition demonstrates our firm commitment to honoring our obligations under extradition treaties. As a result, an alleged human-rights violator will now face justice in Spain."

The complaint seeking Montano's extradition to Spain alleges he shared oversight responsibility over a government radio station that urged the killings of the priests days before the massacre, while he served as vice minister of Defense and Public Safety.

It also accuses him of participating in a series of meetings during which a fellow Salvadoran army officer gave the order to kill the priests.

Montano, who previously lived in Everett, Mass., was sentenced to 21 months in federal prison in 2013 for immigration fraud and perjury.

And still he was allowed to stay in the country until now??? Shouldn't immigration fraud automatically disqualify you from staying in the country?

His extradition was handled by attorneys from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of North Carolina, the District of Massachusetts and the Office of International Affairs.

Wikipedia:

During the Salvadoran Civil War, on 16 November 1989, Salvadoran Army soldiers killed six Jesuits and two others at their residence on the campus of José Simeón Cañas Central American University (UCA El Salvador) in San Salvador, El Salvador. 

The Jesuits were advocates of a negotiated settlement between the government of El Salvador and the Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front (FMLN), the guerilla organization that had fought the government for a decade. 

The murders attracted international attention to the Jesuits' efforts and increased international pressure for a cease-fire, representing one of the key turning points that led toward a negotiated settlement to the war.

Dating Tests on ‘Christ’s Tomb’ Confirm Origins of Ancient Shrine

© Gali Tibbon / AFP

Scientists conducting tests on a tomb purported to be the burial place of Jesus Christ have confirmed a vital part of the site’s history.

Researchers studying Jerusalem's Church of the Holy Sepulchre made the discovery after taking mortar samples from the original limestone surface of the burial bed inside the tomb. They also tested the marble slab laid over it.  

The results, as reported by National Geographic, reveal that the marble dates back to around 345 AD, the era of Constantine, the first Christian Roman emperor. Antonia Moropoulou, chief scientific coordinator of the restoration works for the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA), told AFP the results are consistent with the traditional belief that the Romans enshrined the tomb in a new church, known as the Edicule, in 326 AD.

"This is a very important finding because it confirms that it was, as historically evidenced, Constantine the Great responsible for cladding bedrock of the tomb of Christ with the marble slabs in the Edicule," said Moropoulou.

The church housing the Edicule has endured a rather turbulent history. It has been periodically attacked by successive waves of invaders including Persians and the Crusaders. Razed and rebuilt in the second century, and then again in 1009 AD, dating tests on the church’s walls have returned varied results. Tests on the plaster of the cave purported to hold the burial tomb of Christ have been dated between 335 AD and 1570 AD.

It’s not known if Jesus was buried at the shrine, an event thought to have occurred around 33 AD. 

Hint: He's not there anymore! He is risen! On the third day!

The mortar samples were taken during extensive archaeological and restoration works to the Edicule by the NTUA last year.  

The Greek Orthodox, Armenian and Roman Catholic churches, the joint custodians of the site, contributed more than $3 million for the project, with King Abdullah of Jordan also reported to have made a contribution. It is the first time in more than two centuries that the Edicule and the cave have received any maintenance work, following repeated warnings from archeologists that a failure to restore the site would lead to its catastrophic collapse.

Mayor of German City Stabbed in Neck After Taking in More Refugees Than Quota

The New Normal - Germany

The mayor of the western German town of Altena suffered a slash to the neck in what security authorities believe was an attack with a “political motive.” Under the current mayor, the town has accommodated more refugees than required by national quota.

On Monday evening, a reportedly drunk man approached Mayor Andreas Hollstein, who had gone to a downtown kebab shop to get a donair for his wife. According to German media, the man loudly criticized the mayor’s policies and asked Hollstein if he was the one before pulling out a knife. 

“You let me die of thirst and bring 200 refugees to Altena,” he told Hollstein, according to the mayor, who spoke Tuesday at a press conference. The assailant then stabbed 54-year-old Hollstein in the neck with a blade, local police say, causing a 15cm-long gash. “Shoot me!” yelled the assailant, held by witnesses, when officers arrived. Hollstein was rushed to the hospital and released hours later.

“Yes, I feared for my life and I'm pretty sure I would not have it [life] anymore – if I had not had help,” he confessed, saying it felt like it was his “third birthday,” having also beaten cancer. “I was given another life yesterday.”

The attacker intended to kill the mayor, according to the owner of the kebab shop, where the incident took place. The proprietor was one of those who caught the assailant and held him until the police arrived.

“The attacker asked the mayor whether he was the mayor, the mayor said ‘Yes’ and it happened very fast, he pulled out a knife. I think he took it out of his pocket, he put him in a headlock, and wanted to cut his throat completely,” Ahmet Abdullah told Ruptly.

The attacker had an “alleged xenophobic motivation,” a police statement reads.

“The security authorities believe that there was a political motive to this attack,” North Rhine-Westphalia’s CDU state premier, Armin Laschet, said. The offender commented on a migration issue, Laschet added.

Hollstein’s wife had repeatedly warned him of a possible attack numerous threats against the mayor, he said. Still, he “will continue to work for people, both for refugees and for people who have been there before and will come, just as any other mayor.”

“We have good, bad and normal people everywhere,” he added.

Hollstein’s liberal policies towards asylum seekers have earned his city nationwide fame. Altena, with the population of some 17,300, received the National Integration Prize from Chancellor Angela Merkel for taking in extra refugees and assisting them under a special program. “I believe we are leading Germany towards a bright future - that future is diverse,” Hollstein said at the time.

Ah, yes! Sunny ways! 

However, not everybody in Altena seemed to welcome the policy. In 2015, a firefighter and his accomplice set fire to a house, into which a group of Syrians had just moved. The arsonist later admitted that he didn’t want any refugees in the neighborhood, fearing “thefts, burglaries or sexual assaults.”

Following the Monday attack on the mayor, Chancellor Merkel said she was “horrified,” via her spokesperson in a Twitter post.

40 - 80% of 'Underage' Migrants in Europe are Actually Adults - Quelle Surprise!

43% of unaccompanied ‘underage’ migrants in Germany

turn out to be adults – report

Some 43 percent of migrants in Germany who claim to be underage are actually adults, local media reports, citing official data. The figures for one of Germany’s major cities, Hamburg, are even higher.

Out of a total of 55,890 asylum seekers claiming to be under the age of 18 and being treated as such by German authorities, 24,116 were officially of adult age, Die Welt newspaper reported, citing the Federal Ministry of Family Affairs. The media outlet claimed the data was valid as of November 8.

In some German cities, the proportion of false “underage” migrants appears to be even higher. In 2016 in Hamburg, for example, 47 percent of 1,813 migrants claiming to be minors turned out to be legally of adult age, according to official statistics. The same pattern persisted this year, as 49 percent of newly arrived 485 “unaccompanied minors” were actually adults.

Those migrants who claim to be underage fall under the responsibility of the Child and Youth Emergency Service (KJND) – a local welfare service, existing in the majority of German communities. The KJND then assesses their claims, paying particular attention to those who do not have a passport or any other official documents.

If the social service suspects a “minor” may be an adult, it sends that person to a medical facility to determine an estimated age. The tests include X-rays, computed tomography, as well as other checks, namely evaluation of the jaw and finger bones, which can easily determine a person’s age.

Worse elsewhere in Europe

Other European countries have encountered similar problems with adult refugees claiming to be “unaccompanied minors.” In Denmark, as of December 2016, some 74 percent of “underage” asylum seekers turned out to be adults after a series of bone and teeth tests.

In Sweden, as of July 2017, over 80 percent of those “underage”migrants whose age raised questions with the authorities turned out to be adults. Only some three percent of 2,481 migrants who were tested in the country to determine their age were female, while the overwhelming majority of those pretending to be minors were young males.

While some migrants provide false information on their age, seemingly in order to get more benefits from the welfare systems of the European countries, others claim to be under 18 in an apparent attempt to be tried as juveniles for alleged crimes. One such case refers to an Afghani immigrant, Hussein Khavari, accused or murdering and raping a 19-year-old German woman.

Khavari was accused of attacking, strangling and raping Maria Ladenburger, a 19-year-old medical student who disappeared while on her way home from a party in the city of Freiburg, southwestern Germany, in October 2016.

When the police arrested the suspect, tracing him through a scarf and some DNA evidence from the crime scene, he claimed to be only 17 years old. However, several evaluations by medical experts based on teeth analysis of the suspect proved him to be at least in his 20s, while he could be as old as 30.

During the trials, the migrant altered his initial statement, claiming that he did not know his true age, but claiming that he was no more than 19 at the time of the attack. Such an age, if proved true, would also give him a chance to be tried as a juvenile, according to German law.

Having already raped and murdered a girl in Greece for which he was convicted, sent to jail, and then released so he could go to Germany, Khavari should, under no circumstances, be tried as a juvenile. No judge in his right mind could allow that to happen.

Reporters Without Borders Seeks to Cancel Press Event Critical of White Helmets

© Ammar Abdullah / Reuters

A press freedom watchdog, Reporters Without Borders, has asked the Swiss Press Club to cancel a panel discussion on the “true agenda” of the controversial White Helmets group. But the club’s director won’t budge, noting that such demands are typically made by oppressive regimes.

Oppressive regimes who don't want the truth to come out.

Guy Mettan, executive director of the Swiss Press Club, says he was asked by Reporters Without Borders (RSF) in Switzerland to cancel the conference. The press freedom organization, which is a member of the Swiss Press Club, said it did not want to be associated with the event.

"I have never seen such a thing," Mettan told Tribune de Geneve. “Now an organization that defends freedom of information is asking me to censor a press conference".

"Usually the pressure to cancel press conferences comes from countries that are known to be dictatorships. RSF's approach stunned me. It's taking journalists for fools. As if they were not able to form an opinion for themselves!”

Independent journalist Vanessa Beeley, who has done extensive reporting from inside Syria, will speak at Tuesday’s event alongside French journalist Richard Labeviere, an expert on the Middle East and international terrorism, and Marcello Ferrada de Noli, chair of Swedish Doctors for Human Rights (SWEDHR).

The conference, which will also include a multimedia presentation, is billed as offering “a clear view on what is the real agenda of these Hollywood so-called ‘first responders’ who received an Oscar for their performance.”

In a letter to Mettan published by Tribune de Geneve, Gérard Tschopp and Christiane Dubois, president and director of RSF in Switzerland, dismissed Beeley as a “so-called” journalist cited only by “Russian media propaganda.” They also claimed Swedish Doctors for Human Rights acts as “a tool of Russian propaganda.”

Noting that perhaps Mettan was unaware of this “information,” the letter urged the Swiss Press Club to “abandon” the event or risk tarnishing the club’s image. Mettan wrote back, denying the organization’s request and expressing disbelief that a group dedicated to protecting press freedom would advocate censorship.

“For the 20 years I have been working at the Swiss Press Club, I have always been under pressure to prevent people from expressing themselves. But so far these pressures have always come from authoritarian or dictatorial regimes, such as China, Saudi Arabia, Egypt or Bahrain,” wrote Mettan.

“This is the first time that a defense organization for journalists from a democratic country has sent me such a request. It goes without saying that I cannot act on it. It would dishonor a job that, I hope, is still yours.” Mettan called on RSF to participate in the event and present their point of view, rather than attempt censorship.

A documentary praising Syria’s White Helmets as heroes and saviors in Syria won an Oscar in February. Witnesses have meanwhile accused them of collaborating with terrorist groups, filming staged reports about their rescue work, engaging in looting and other misdeeds. Members of the group have been caught on camera several times performing dubious acts, including assisting with an apparent execution of a prisoner.

French Banks have ‘Good Reasons’ to Close Le Pen Party’s Accounts, Finance Minister Says

Corruption is Everywhere - even in French Banking

If there is something fishy with Le Front National's finances, then the banks need to expose that, otherwise it is they who appear corrupt and despicably so

Two banks that have closed accounts belonging to the French National Front apparently had “good reasons” to take such actions, Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire insisted after Marine Le Pen blasted the decision as a “banking fatwa.”

The president of the far-right party rebelled this week at a press conference against the decisions taken by Societe Generale and HSBC to end their banking relationship with the National Front, and its leader Le Pen. The National Front president has called the decisions a “banking fatwa” and an “attempted suffocation” of the opposition.

“We are cut off at present from our income. This decision puts the National Front in a position of serious difficulty and prevents the party from functioning normally,” Le Pen said after Societe Generale closed a number of National Front accounts in November, including her own.

Speaking to the media on Wednesday, Le Pen revealed that HSBC closed her account “without any justification,” only citing the “the lack of information on the origin of funds.” Outraged by the decisions, she urged French politicians, including President Emmanuel Macron, to stand up for the National Front.

In France, banks are allowed to decide to close accounts without giving a reason if they provide the account holders with advance notice. Commenting on their decision, both institutions said that the decisions to shut down accounts were purely financial and not political.

The issue has been taken up by Francois Villeroy de Galhau, Governor of the Bank of France, who is due to announce a conclusion on the case on Monday, French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said on Saturday, while defending the decisions taken by Societe Generale and HSBC.

“If Société Générale closes the accounts of the National Front, and also I point out that another bank closed the personal account of Marine Le Pen, it’s because it had good reasons to do so,” Le Maire told radio station France Inter. “I trust French banking institutions.”

“My duty as economy and finance minister is to verify that the law has been complied with,” Le Maire said. “I am convinced that the law has been complied with and that these banks had good reasons to take these decisions.”

Now you just need to convince the rest of us that you aren't part of a conspiracy of political and banking corruption to destroy a political rival. You are a long way from that so far.

This isn’t the first time that the National Front has faced financial burdens. During Le Pen’s presidential campaign earlier this year, French banks refused to grant her campaign loans, while the National Front has also been previously forced to borrow from banks outside France.

While the National Front awaited a decision from the Bank of France governor, dozens of party supporters staged a protest in front of Societe Generale’s office in Paris on Saturday. Flying national flags, and holding placards and banner that read, “For the moralization of the banks,” the crowd denounced the financial institution.

“This is absolutely unacceptable in a democracy, and we have no intention of giving in to the banking dictatorship… It is an attack on the democratic life of political parties,” National Front deputy Gilbert Collard said at the gathering. “If it would happen in Russia, we would scream at attacks on liberty for sure. This is happening in France, and everyone is indifferent.”

CNN Fails To Report These 24 Democrat Sex Scandals

I hate getting into partisan politics like this but can't resist the opportunity to reveal how network news affects perception. In this case, CNN apparently refusing to acknowledge rampant sexual harassment by Democratic politicians. Not wanting to show the Democratic Party in its true light, CNN ignored these two dozen accusations, many of which resulted in resignations.

I can't wait for CNN to respond with a list of Republican politicians accused of sexual harassment.

All of the Democrat sex scandals that CNN has failed to report on have made news in 2017, with 19 of the 24 making news within the last month

As sexual misconduct allegations continue to rock liberal Hollywood, the mainstream media establishment, and politicians of both political parties, at least the Democrats can count on CNN to eschew reporting about dozens of sexual allegations on members of their party.

To be fair, it is worth noting that CNN has reported on a couple of the big Democrat sex scandals currently receiving major media attention on other news networks, specifically the scandals involving Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) and Rep. John Conyers (D-MI).

When CNN is not busy giving President Donald Trump 93% negative coverage, covering for Islamic terrorists, botching gun reports, or being sued by over 200 African-Americans for racial discrimination, they are busy covering for Democrats across the United States by not reporting on scandals.

Below are 24 recent Democratic sex scandals that CNN has failed to report on their website (documentation showing CNN did not cover the scandals is not provided but may be found here).

1. Four new women accuse Bill Clinton of sexual assault. (11/20/2017)

The Daily Mail reports:

Bill Clinton is facing explosive new charges of sexual assault from four women, according to highly placed Democratic Party sources and an official who served in both the Clinton and Obama administrations.

The current accusations against the 71-year-old former president — whose past is littered with charges of sexual misconduct — stem from the period after he left the White House in 2001, say the sources.

Attorneys representing the women, who are coordinating their efforts, have notified Clinton they are preparing to file four separate lawsuits against him.

2. Congresswoman accuses Democrat Bob Filner of sexually assaulting her. (11/21/2017)

The Huffington Post reports:

Rep. Diana DeGette (D-Colo.) on Monday accused a former congressman of assaulting her while they were both serving in the House.

In an appearance on MSNBC’s “Meet the Press Daily,” DeGette said that former Rep. Bob Filner (D-Calif.) at one point tried to pin her in an elevator and forcibly kiss her.

“Some years ago, I was in an elevator and then-Congressman Bob Filner tried to pin me to the door of the elevator and kiss me. And I pushed him away,” DeGette said. “I mean, I was his colleague. He couldn’t take action against me. And believe you me, I never got in an elevator with him again.”

3. Democrat Raul Bocanegra resigns leadership position and won’t seek re-election over sexual allegations. (11/20/2017)

The Los Angeles Times reports:

Assemblyman Raul Bocanegra announced he will not seek reelection Monday, citing “persistent rumors and speculation” regarding sexual harassment claims.

“I spent my life advocating for the Northeast Valley, fighting for a fair share for our communities and residents,” Bocanegra (D-Pacoima) said in a statement. “It is because of my deep commitment to you, residents of the 39th Assembly District, that I have made the decision to resign from the State Assembly, effective September 1, 2018, and immediately resign my leadership position. I am also suspending my campaign and will not run for re-election.”

The statement came as The Times was preparing a story reporting that six women had accused him of sexual harassment.

4. Democrat congressional candidate David Alcon is arrested for stalking in New Mexico. (11/13/2017)

The Washington Free Beacon reports:

A Democrat running for Congress in New Mexico's second district was found and arrested at an apartment complex in Albuquerque on Friday, nearly two weeks after an arrest warrant was issued for him.

David Alcon is now behind bars after a woman accused him of stalking her, according to local station KRQE News 13.

The woman, who attended a Halloween party at a hotel in Santa Fe on Oct. 28, said she started receiving persistent text messages from Alcon—one with a picture of his genitals, some suggesting that he was watching her, and others professing his love for her.

5. 10 women accuse Colorado Democratic lawmaker Steve Lebsock of sexual harassment. (11/10/2017)

CBS Denver reports:

A former Democratic legislative aide is now the tenth woman to accuse Rep. Steve Lebsock, a Democrat representing Thornton, of sexual harassment.

On Friday, public radio station KUNC published a blistering report in which nine women, including Rep. Faith Winter, a Democrat representing Westminter, accused Lebsock of sexual harassment.

Winter says Lebsock became aggressively lewd at a bar on the last day of the 2016 legislative session when he found out that Winter’s husband was out of town.

6. Colorado Democratic House Speaker Crisanta Duran accused of ‘covering up’ sexual allegations against Democrat Steve Lebsock. (11/14/2017)

The Denver Post reports:

Colorado’s top Democratic lawmaker is under fire for how she handled a colleague’s sexual harassment complaint against a member of their party and now faces calls for an independent investigation.

House Speaker Crisanta Duran appointed Rep. Steve Lebsock, D-Thornton, as chairman of the Local Government Committee for the 2017-18 legislative session despite knowing that the fellow lawmaker made the allegation against him seven months earlier. The accusation became public Friday and was followed by harassment complaints from two other women.

Republican legislative leaders are demanding an investigation from the attorney general’s office to address what one GOP lawmaker called a “coverup.” Others are calling for the speaker’s resignation.

Schoen, a first-term senator, was serving his second term in the House at that time.

The Mercury News reports:

The controversy surrounding sexual harassment in the state Capitol deepened on Friday and threatened to ensnare one of the Legislature’s leading Democrats, Kevin de León, as questions swirled over when the Senate leader became aware of complaints against his weekday roommate.

The attorney’s account contradicted the timeline provided Thursday by De León’s office, raising questions about what the Senate leader, who is challenging U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, knew about the harassment allegations.

UK to Launch ‘Contest 3.0’ Counter-Terrorism Strategy After Spate of Attacks

The New Normal - Great Britain

Intelligence services have thwarted eight attacks since March, it is claimed

British security experts say eight attacks have been thwarted since Khalid Masood killed five and injured more than 50 in the Westminster Bridge attack. Security Minister Ben Wallace said 21 plots have been foiled since 2013, eight of them since last March.

“Nearly 600 investigative leads are ongoing, covering about 3,000 people and approximately another 20,000 people who we have at some stage had concern about,” he told the Westminster Counter-terrorism Conference, hosted by the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI).

“It is not a spike in the threat, but a shift that we are now facing, and that is something we all have to deal with.”

'It is not a spike in the threat?' By my count, 21 threats in more than 4 years is about 5 threats per year. 8 threats since March is more than twice that rate. How is that not a spike?

Islamic State currently poses the greatest threat to the UK, he said, although he warned that Al-Qaeda and radical right-wing organizations also represent an ongoing danger.

Military successes against IS in Iraq and Syria make the threat more – not less – real, he said, urging Britons to remain on their guard. “Some of these threats are here to stay for a considerable time. We are going to launch the government’s new counter-terrorism strategy in the New Year, building on what we’ve learned… and keep one step ahead of the terrorists.” The strategy is called “Contest 3.0.”

Alistair Burt, the minister for the Middle East, was also on the panel. “There is no doubt that the threat to us all continues to grow,” he said.

“Even as we see ISIS pushed back on the physical battlefield, we know that they will continue to pose a threat in the region. We also know that the battle of ideas is far from won. ISIS is still capable of inspiring people to carry out attacks in its name and as such it remains a serious global threat.”

Jihadists were sent fleeing into the desert when the so-called caliphate fell and the de-facto capital for IS, Raqqa, was lost to Western-backed troops just months ago. IS supporters across the world are attempting to continue radicalizing people online, while hiding out in countries including Egypt and the Philippines.

EU Counterterrorism Coordinator Gilles de Kerchove claimed it is now “easier than before” for a lone attacker to plan a strike. He said deadly weapons had become “miniaturized” and war tech like drones is more easily available.

Patrick McGuinness, the UK’s deputy national security adviser, said: “The frontline [against IS] is now online.”

Half of the 850 people who travelled from the UK to fight with IS have returned to Britain, it is believed.yy

How absurd that they don't actually know the precise number, the names, and the whereabouts of every one of them. These are criminals, or should be. If it isn't against the law to support radical Islam, it ought to be. IS, Al-Qaeda, Taliban, Al-Nusra, Boko Haram, etc., etc., supporters should either be deported or locked up until they are no longer supporters. It's that simple! Allowing these lunatics to run around free until they are caught in a conspiracy, or until they commit a terrorist act, is just insane.
