Mass protests, fires, and clashes with police erupted across parts of Northern Ireland on Tuesday after a Sudanese national was arrested in a brutal stabbing attack that shocked Belfast.
Earlier in the day, law enforcement said the suspect shown in a graphic video pinning another man to the ground and repeatedly stabbing him in the face and neck was a Sudanese national. Witnesses intervened and attempted to pull the attacker off the victim.
In Dorset, Asylum Seekers 90 Times More Likely to Commit Sexual or Violent Offenses Than Natives
In the UK, those now claiming asylum are overwhelmingly Muslims from North Africa, the Middle East, and Pakistan. They are in truth economic migrants, hoping to take advantage of all the benefits the generous British welfare state can lavish upon them, including free or greatly subsidized housing, free medical care, free education including language tuition, family allowances, and more. And in order to supplement those benefits, a number of them turn to crime — street robberies, house burglaries, shoplifting, drug trafficking. Most of these Muslim migrants are single males, and they find kaffir women suitable, if unwilling, objects of their violent desires.
Now we have some statistics on asylum seekers — overwhelmingly Muslim — from just one county in the UK, Dorset, that shows in dramatic fashion how much more likely they are to commit sexual crimes or crimes of violence than are the indigenous English.
More on these statistics can be found here:
Dorset Asylum Seekers 9,000% More Likely To Commit Sexual or Violent Crime
Official statistics have shown that asylum seekers in one English county are approximately 9,000% more likely to commit sexual or violent offences than their share of the local population would indicate, as protests against asylum accommodation—some turning violent—have intensified across Europe in the last week.
British Home Office asylum support data for the end of September 2025 recorded 618 asylum seekers in the Bournemouth, Christchurch, and Poole council area, where most asylum accommodation is concentrated. With Dorset’s total population at approximately 800,000 to 820,000, and no asylum hotels recorded in the rest of the county, this equates to roughly 0.08% of the local population.
Dorset Police data covering July 2024 to July 2025 shows that individuals from migrant hotels accounted for 116 out of 1,616 recorded sexual offences county-wide—which constitutes approximately 7.2% of the total. This equates to an over-representation factor of roughly 90 times their population share, or approximately 8,875-9,310% higher than would be expected proportionally. When compared to the remaining population, this produces a relative likelihood of approximately 90-102 times higher….
Official findings, however, reveal the over-representation remains substantial. Research by europeanconservative.com has confirmed the actual figures. Despite consternation over the veracity of the figures, after a Freedom of Information request responded to by Dorset Police claimed only one case of migrant rape had been recorded in the area committed by an asylum hotel inhabitant, court records reported on by the Daily Mail, nevertheless, reveal that: “In Bournemouth, 116 charges have been brought against 51 asylum seekers living across three hotels near the seafront.”
Dorset Police acknowledged the veracity of the court records when responding to Telegraphjournalist Alison Pearson and stated, “The figures mentioned are conviction data from the court system … The crimes may have been committed elsewhere in the country and the figure is based upon the address given to the court at the time of the defendant’s appearance.”…
Could you have possibly tried any harder to deflate the statistics?
European states’ policy of dispersing asylum seekers into hotels and communities has faced growing public opposition. The latest circulation of the Dorset data and the attack in Modena, Italy provide a backdrop for growing fears about safety surrounding the presence of asylum seekers from alien cultures.
Ordinary citizens’ revolt against the placement of asylum seekers in their neighborhoods has now led to protesters demonstrating across several European countries. Everywhere, the failure of governments to respond to the popular desire for a halt to Muslim immigration has heightened popular anxiety and rage. Citizens feel that their governments that are not responding to this desire have abandoned them. That explains the spectacular rise in Europe for support for the anti-immigrant parties and politicians, including Jordan Bardella of the National Rally in France, Alice Weidel of the Alternative für Deutschland in Germany, and in Italy, Giorgia Meloni of Fratelli d’Italia, who is already Italy’s prime minister.
And keep just that one telling statistic firmly in mind: in the County of Dorset, Muslim asylum seekers are ninetytimes more likely to be charged with sexual or violent crimes than the indigenous British.
It is quite clear now that the British political elites have decided to allow for the Islamization of the country, apparently so as to (from their perspective) create a population that will be more accustomed to authoritarianism and less disposed to stand up for freedom and individual rights. How that will work out for them is eminently predictable, given the outcome of previous leftist/Islamic alliances, as in the Islamic Republic of Iran. But the British authorities don’t seem to realize that, and have adopted a policy of flat-out appeasement: Muslims in Britain are above the law, about accountability, and utterly beyond criticism, other than a few rape gang members and others who find themselves prosecuted (and are likely utterly bewildered by that fact) in order to allow authorities to present the appearance of still being evenhanded and administering equal justice for all.
A Christian former police community support officer has won a legal settlement from North Yorkshire Police after taking legal action when he was forced out of his role and permanently barred from policing for asking questions about Islam during mandatory diversity training.
Luke Salmons, a former Police Community Support Officer (PCSO), brought legal claims against the Chief Constable of North Yorkshire Police, alleging the force unlawfully discriminated against him because of his Christian beliefs and violated his rights to freedom of religion and expression under the European Convention on Human Rights.
Supported by the Christian Legal Centre, the matter has now settled without the need for Mr Salmons to pursue his case to trial before the Employment Tribunal.
Mr Salmons’ case offers a rare insight into the level of political and ideological control being exercised through so‑called ‘diversity’ training within the UK police, raising serious concerns about freedom of religion, freedom of expression, and the treatment of Christians and other dissenting voices in public institutions.
Mr Salmons resigned during a prolonged suspension in May 2025 due to the severe impact the process was having on him and his family. Despite this, he was later dismissed for “gross misconduct” in July 2025 and placed on the Police Barred List, preventing him from ever working in policing again.
He brought claims including constructive dismissal, direct and indirect religious discrimination, harassment under the Equality Act 2010, and unlawful interference with his rights under Articles 9 and 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights.
His legal case argued that North Yorkshire Police operated a one‑sided interpretation of equality and diversity, excluding orthodox Christian beliefs while privileging others. Training sessions advertised as “safe spaces”, his claim stated, were only safe for views aligned with prevailing institutional ideology.
The case has now been settled on confidential terms.
“Islam is a religion of peace” mantra in training
The legal action centred on events beginning in autumn 2024, when Mr Salmons attended a compulsory pilot training programme intended to help develop a new North Yorkshire Police policy on race, religion and culture. The course was delivered by external trainers and presented as a “safe space” where officers were encouraged to ask challenging questions.
During one session on race, religion and culture, Mr Salmons recalls trainers repeatedly walking up and down the room chanting, “Islam is a religion of peace.”
“At that point,” Mr Salmons said, “it stopped being training and became indoctrination.”
He says training content focused heavily on Islam, with little or no attention given to Christianity. On another occasion, when asked to write a piece about Easter for the internal staff intranet, he was instructed that it could not include Bible verses.
Matters escalated on 8 October 2024 during a section of the Culture, Race and Religion course delivered by a Muslim police sergeant. Participants were explicitly told they were free to discuss difficult topics.
During the session, Mr Salmons asked the sergeant for his thoughts on the situation in Gaza and the Middle East, where Islamist groups such as Hamas commit atrocities in the name of Islam. Following that discussion, he asked a follow‑up question about how the sergeant understood the term “jihad”.
The exchange was respectful but robust. The sergeant engaged fully and later invited Mr Salmons to continue the conversation over coffee.
Mr Salmons referenced a widely published Christian book, Answering Jihad – A Better Way Forward by former Muslim and New York Times bestselling author Nabeel Qureshi. He later brought the book to work in case it was requested, but never offered it to anyone.
Sudden suspension and secret allegations
Despite reassurances that the sessions were safe spaces for free discussion, Mr Salmons was suspended on 10 October 2024, just two days later.
On a separate occasion, during antisemitism training where questions were openly encouraged, Mr Salmons was shut down by his inspector for asking relevant questions about how the government was tackling antisemitism….
UK: National Association of Muslim Police identifies Zionism as ‘manifestation of anti-Muslim hatred’
Once the National Association of Muslim Police is fully in charge of the police forces of shattered, staggering, dhimmi Britain, it will feel free to outlaw Zionism, and arrest and prosecute Jews and supporters of Israel accordingly. But that would never happen, right? Britain is a free society that values the freedom of speech and always will be. Won’t it?

Muslim police association identifies Zionism as ‘manifestation of anti-Muslim hatred’
British Jewish groups have described their intention to raise serious concerns with government and law enforcement, after revelations that a policy paper from the representative body for Muslim police officers in the UK identifies Zionism as “one of the manifestations of anti-Muslim hatred”, refers to the IDF as a “Zionist terrorist group”, and describes “alarming and unverified stories about acts of violence” on 7 October.
As reported by The Spectator, the National Association of Muslim Police (NAMP) published the paper, written by its then-Vice President, Khaldoun Kabbani, last year. The NAMP is reportedly affiliated to more than a dozen police forces around the country, including West Midlands police, West Yorkshire police, Greater Manchester police and Police Scotland.
The policy paper in question also claims that “Zionists” are guilty of “misuse of the Holocaust” when describing the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, before going on to misuse it themselves, saying that “the process of dehumanisation by the Nazis towards the Jewish people highlights a broader mechanism of oppression, where dominant groups suppress empathy through propaganda and indoctrination to facilitate cruelty. This mechanism is not confined to the past but is observed in contemporary conflicts, such as the situation between the Israeli Government and Military and Palestinians.”
As The Spectator describes, the NAMP document refers to “Zionist terrorist groups including the IDF” and says that “Zionism represents one of the manifestations of anti-Muslim hatred, stripping Muslims of their humanity.”
The paper claims that “Zionist terrorist groups” committed 16 different “genocides” against Palestinians between 1948 and the present day, while containing no mention of the killings carried out by Palestinians during the same period….
When the police say that an incident involving a Muslim committing an act of violence is not terror-related, they generally mean that the perpetrator is not a known member of a jihad terrorist group. Incidents in which the perp screamed “Allahu akbar,” had a Qur’an in his backpack, etc., are often dismissed as “not terror-related” because of this lack of any connection to jihad groups; the idea of a “lone wolf” jihad attack is often ignored, despite the frequent calls from the Islamic State (ISIS) and al-Qaeda to Muslims in the West to commit such attacks.
Anyway, so Almunthir Daqamah’s crossbow attack is not terror-related. There is also the fact that as a Saudi national, Daqamah grew up in a culture that teaches that the only and only god commands his followers to commit acts of violence in certain cases, and that such violence in those cases is considered a holy act that will receive a reward in paradise. In light of that, is it really all that surprising that in response to a personal setback, he would resort to violence?
