Denmark Supreme Court: It is illegal to deprive an IS woman of her citizenship
It was invalid to strip the citizenship of a Danish woman who had joined the Islamic State
Ekstra Bladet
It was invalid when, in 2020, the Ministry of Immigration and Integration revoked the Danish citizenship of a woman who years ago had traveled to Syria to join the Islamic State.
The Supreme Court decided that on Wednesday.
The decision is because, according to the Supreme Court, the ministry's decision was not in accordance with the requirement of proportionality.
The Ministry of Immigration and Integration can only remove Danish citizenship if it does not make the person stateless.
The woman was born in Denmark and was given both Danish and Iranian citizenship at birth by virtue of her father.
But, according to the Supreme Court, she has 'neither had a residence in Iran nor otherwise stayed in Iran for a long time, nor has contact with relatives in Iran, just as she does not speak Farsi, which is Iran's official language'.
- The Supreme Court then determined that A (the woman, ed.) only has a very weak connection to Iran, writes the Supreme Court.
It was in 2015 that the woman, aged 20, traveled to Syria to join the self-proclaimed caliphate Islamic State.
She married in Syria a man who was a member of the organization. They had children together.
She stayed in an area controlled by the Islamic State until she was captured in March 2019.
Since then she has stayed with her children in the al-Hol camp and later in the al-Roj camp.
The woman has not denied having joined the Islamic State, and on that basis she could well be deprived of her Danish citizenship.
On the other hand, she argued that it was contrary to the principle of proportionality.
Earlier this week, the Ministry of Immigration and Integration was acquitted by Copenhagen City Court in a similar case.
In that case, two twin sisters had been stripped of their Danish citizenship.
According to TV 2, the women were born in Denmark to Somali refugees, but grew up in England and do not speak Danish.
According to the media, they went together to the Islamic State in Syria as 16-year-olds in 2014.
I guess the safety of law-abiding Danish citizens is not considered in the requirements of proportionality. Only the criminal's rights are important.
Spain: Muslim population increases ten times in the last 30 years

What could possibly go wrong? Sure none of the new Muslim arrivals in Spain hold to Hassan al-Banna’s adage that “Islam must dominate, and not be dominated,” right? Any concern about them is solely “Islamophobia,” right?
“Fight them, till there is no persecution and religion is all for Allah; then if they give over, surely Allah sees the things they do.” (Qur’an 8:39)
Muslim population in Spain increased 10 times in last 30 years
by Senhan Bolelli,
Anadolu Agency, March 25, 2023:
Secretary of the Islamic Commission of Spain said that the Muslim population living in Spain has increased 10 times in the last 30 years, exceeding 2.5 million.
Mohamed Ajana told Anadolu that according to official records, 2.5 million, and according to unofficial figures, about 3 million Muslims live in Spain….
So, the question now is, how much will the Muslim population in Spain increase in the next 30 years? Is there any reason why it will not increase 10 times again? If it does, that means there will be 25 to 30 million Muslims in a country of about 50 million. From 5-6% to 50 to 60% of the population. Spain will be a Muslim country by 2055. Then, how long before Sharia is brought in?
He stated that more than one million Muslims in the country are Spanish citizens, some of them are immigrants and others are of Spanish origin.
Explaining that Muslims from Morocco, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Senegal, and Algeria are in the majority, he shared the information that the majority of the Muslim population in Spain lives in industrialized regions such as Catalonia, Valencia, Andalusia, and Madrid.
Ajana also said that there are currently 53 Islamic federations serving the Muslim community in Spain, and that there are about 2,000 mosques.
He said the main problems that Muslims face are obtaining permits and licenses for the construction of mosques, the existence of only 40 Muslim cemeteries despite the increase in population, education, and Islamophobia.
ISIS Matchmaker Gets 18 Years in First Trial Under N.Y. Terrorism Law
by Colin Moynihan,
New York Times, March 23, 2023:
After ISIS promised in 2014 that the world would “hear and understand the meaning of terrorism,” fervent western support came from a Jamaican preacher once imprisoned in Britain for urging violence, and later expelled from Kenya by officials fearing he would encourage radicalism.
Mr. Faisal was convicted this year of conspiracy and supporting terrorism after prosecutors presented evidence that he had discussed ISIS with an undercover New York City police officer and given her a phone number for a fighter in Syria.
On Thursday, Justice Maxwell Wiley of State Supreme Court in Manhattan sentenced Mr. Faisal to 18 years in prison, saying he had “continually advocated for murder, kidnapping and other violent crimes.”
Mr. Faisal’s trial marked the first time a defendant had faced a jury after being charged under state antiterrorism laws adopted in 2001, a week after the destruction of the World Trade Center. A handful of others have been charged under those laws and pleaded guilty.
Mr. Faisal was not accused of planning violence in New York City and had not set foot there during the period covered by his indictment. But undercover police officers with the Intelligence Bureau, whose members typically do not wear uniforms or badges, and communicate with other officers through handlers, exchanged messages with him from Manhattan, establishing jurisdiction for prosecutors.
Investigators’ testimony provided an unusual window into the secretive Intelligence Bureau, which has been criticized at times for compiling information on antiwar protesters and spying broadly on Muslims in New York and New Jersey.
“Manhattan will continue to be a target for those who want to harm this country,” said District Attorney Alvin L. Bragg. “Working with our federal and state law enforcement partners, our office stands at the ready to continue combating terrorism.”…
