The Islamization of America > Have Texas Republicans been bought by Islam? California conversion goes all ISIS

 

Texas: ‘Church conquest warning’ comes amid proliferation of mosques, 42 new mosques in Dallas area alone


What did anyone expect? The jihad is all about conquest, from stealth to violent. Denial translates into a windfall for jihadists.



California: Man converts to Islam, sends money to Islamic State, has homemade bomb


Mark Lorenzo Villanueva’s “improvised bomb made with large amounts of ball bearings, nails, screws and other objects” sounds a good bit like the bomb that two other ISIS operatives, Emir Balat and Ibrahim Kayumi, threw in New York City the other day. Expect to see more of them, since virtually nothing whatsoever has been done for years to stop ISIS activity in the U.S.

Long Beach man pleads guilty to sending money to Islamic State, possessing homemade bomb

by Summer Lin, Los Angeles Times, January 28, 2026:

A Long Beach man pleaded guilty Tuesday to sending payments to suspected members of Islamic State and for illegally possessing a homemade bomb, according to authorities.

Mark Lorenzo Villanueva, 29, pleaded guilty to attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization and being a felon in possession of a firearm, according to a news release from the U.S. attorney’s office for the Central District of California. Villanueva has been in custody since August.

According to his plea agreement, Villanueva began messaging a person claiming to be an Islamic State fighter living in Syria in February. The person told Villanueva how to send money to him overseas.

Villanueva allegedly sent more than $1,600 knowing it would be spent on ammunition, weapons and other supplies, authorities said. Villanueva also discussed conducting Islamic State operations in the United States.

Law enforcement searched Villanueva’s home in August and found an improvised bomb made with large amounts of ball bearings, nails, screws and other objects, according to the release. The device was not federally registered as required by law…

The Islamization of Europe > Fatal stabbings in Rotterdam; NL Cabinet declares Asylum Crisis; Rotherham Imam provokes shocking violence

 

Attacker accused of terrorism over fatal stabbing

at Erasmus Bridge in Rotterdam


NL Times

The 22-year-old man alleged to have carried out a knife attack at the Erasmus Bridge in Rotterdam is suspected of wanting to perpetrate a terrorist attack, the Public Prosecution Service (OM) said on Friday. One victim was killed in the attack on Thursday night, another was wounded, and both the suspect and the bystander that captured him suffered minor injuries.

The alleged assailant, a 22-year-old man from Amersfoort, is currently under suspicion of “murder and attempted murder with a terrorist motive,” the OM stated. “The investigation conducted so far provides indications that the suspect may be ideologically driven. For example, the suspect shouted ‘Allahu Akbar’ several times during the commission of the acts.”

Afterwards, a personal trainer who helped tackle the suspect said the man was in possession of two carving knives or cleavers, and ran towards an event where dozens of people were present. About six people brought him down, including the trainer, Reniël.


In its update, prosecutors confirmed that the Amersfoort man was previously convicted of other violent crimes. While terrorism is the current suspicion, the OM said that other possible motives have not been ruled out.

While the investigation is ongoing, the suspect will be kept in restricted custody. He will not be allowed to communicate with anyone other than legal representation. Likewise, prosecutors are generally limited in details they are allowed to provide about suspects kept under closer guard.

The suspect will not be brought before an examining magistrate for an initial remand hearing until Monday. At that time, he can be ordered to remain in custody for a maximum of two weeks as the investigation continues.

Following that period, he will be arraigned at the District Court in The Hague, instead of in Rotterdam. The OM said several Rotterdam “court employees were among the witnesses to the stabbing,” and thus the case will be handled by judges in The Hague instead.




NL Cabinet pushing through with declaring asylum crisis,

despite opposition concerns



NL Times

The coalition parties PVV, VVD, NSC, and BBB will proceed with emergency legislation in the field of asylum. Opposition parties’ plans to opt for urgent legislation instead, which would not bypass parliament, did not make it: 56 parliamentarians were in favor, and 90 were against.

If the Cabinet continues with emergency legislation, it can bypass parliament. Only after three months at the latest can parliament and the Senate debate the plans, even though they are already in force. That is why the opposition parties wanted the Cabinet to opt for urgent legislation instead. According to them, that is just as fast but with prior approval from parliament.

The theme dominated the budget debate. Coalition party NSC, in particular, faced fierce attacks for it. Acting party chair Nicolien van Vroonhoven explained again on Thursday that she wanted to first see whether emergency legislation was possible. She immediately commented that she had “hard feelings” about it and that she expected the plan to fail in the Council of Ministers. A “supporting motivation” must be found there for the need to introduce emergency legislation. But documents that were sent to parliament on Thursday showed that civil servants had no confidence in this.

The coalition will, therefore, not block the trajectory for emergency legislation for the time being. Still, not only the NSC but also the VVD expressed discomfort. Party leader Dilan YeÅŸilgöz impressed upon Prime Minister Dick Schoof that the Cabinet had to come up with “sound” laws. The VVD leader also wanted Schoof to work on urgent legislation at the same time in case the emergency legislation fails. Van Vroonhoven also assured the opposition that the Cabinet would come up with alternatives “as soon as possible” if the emergency law does not pass.

PVV leader Geert Wilders, on the other hand, firmly rejected the option of emergency legislation. It was agreed during the formation that the Cabinet would declare an asylum crisis, and he wants to hold his coalition partners to that. He did, however, cautiously offer the Cabinet room to come up with a different consideration. “I’m not in charge of that, the Cabinet makes its own choices.”

Baudet reprimanded for Nazi reference

A reference to the Nazi era earned FvD leader Thierry Baudet a reprimand from parliament president Martin Bosma. During a speech about top civil servants who, according to him, were obstructing the right-wing Cabinet, Buadet said: “that a little night of the long knives at the Ministries would not be out of place.”

The Night of the Long Knives was a three-day massacre in June 1934 in which Adolf Hitler had a large number of opponents within the Nazi party NSDA murdered. At least 85 people were killed, but some estimates put the number at a thousand.

Bosma reprimanded Baudet. “You are familiar enough with history to know that what you are doing is a rather dubious reference,” he said. D66 leader Rob Jetten asked Baudet to retract his words, which he did. “It slipped out,” he said. “And, of course, it was meant ironically.”

UK: Imam recruits six family members to inflict

‘shocking violence’


One might almost get the idea that Talhat Mughal holds beliefs involving the justification and sanctification of violence. But that would be “Islamophobic.”


Rotherham imam jailed after recruiting six family members to inflict shocking violence

by Sarah Marshall, The Star, September 13, 2024:

A Rotherham imam and four of his family members have been jailed, after he ‘recruited’ them to ‘embark on a shocking piece of violence’ that left two men seriously injured.

Disgraced imam, Talhat Mughal, along with family members Muhammad Uwais Mughal, Mohammed Basharat Ali Mughal, Mohammed Tabarak Mughal and Ahmed Mughal, were all sent to begin prison sentences for their role in the violent brawl, during which one man suffered injuries requiring reconstructive facial surgery, while another sustained a stab wound.

Two more members of Talhat’s family, Wakaas Mughal and Hamza Mughal, also became involved in the disorder, but received suspended sentences during the same Sheffield Crown Court hearing held on September 13, 2024.

The court heard how the violence stemmed from a dispute that Talhat, who had held the esteemed religious role in the Rotherham area for more than two decades, had with one of the complainants, relating to a bullying allegation.

In the hours before the disorder erupted on February 21, 2021, Talhat was involved in a physical altercation with the first complainant in a Rotherham shop, but it was quickly brought to an end after staff intervened, the court heard.

Judge Peter Hampton said Talhat subsequently set about ‘recruiting family members to embark on a shocking piece of violence’.

Two hours on from the shop scrap, Talhat, Muhammad Uwais and Mohammed Basharat Ali descended on the street where the first complainant lived, in the Herringthorpe area of the town.

After the first complainant and a member of his ‘faction’ – the second complainant – came out onto the street, violence quickly broke out – all while a child was present inside the first complainant’s home.

Around four minutes after the arrival of the other defendants, Ahmed, Hamza, Mohammed Tabarak and Wakaas arrived in a separate car, and began to join the violence, which was captured on CCTV taken from the street.

“The violence was pre-planned, it was organised, it was serious group violence involving the use of weapons.

“It incorporated serious assaults on the streets of Rotherham.”

The defendants were described as having turned the street into a ‘boxing area’.

During the course of the brawl, one of the complainants retreated back into the house and reappeared with what Judge Hampton described as a ‘wooden item’.

Shocked residents observing the brawl reported hearing one of the defendants shouting ‘kill’ as the fighting continued, the court heard….

The Islamization of Europe > Two brutally murdered in Notting Hill carnival, was it jihad, terror?

 

There is no indication here that these attacks were motivated by Islamic jihad except that a number of things fit the pattern of previous Islamic terror attacks. A festival was attacked! Knives were used in both attacks, although there is no mention of throat-slitting which is common to Islamic terror and commanded in the Quran. However, one report says Maximen lost 20 liters of blood, which would suggest a jugular attack. 

All four arrested men appear to be black, suggesting an African heritage. Most African immigrants are Muslim. Oddly, though, both victims were also coloured. The Sun wrote: The court was told all three brothers were involved in the horror but just Shakiel Thibou carried out the stabbing. Prosecutors say they attended the carnival with the intention to cause the intended victim harm. Why? Did he use pork in one of his recipes?

So, it may be that they were not terror attacks, but that would normally be stated emphatically in all media accounts. It's not stated in any, neither are there any pictures, but one, of those arrested, nor any history on them. This is typical media treatment of Islamic terror attacks. 


Mother, top chef dead after separate attacks

during  Notting Hill carnival

Aug. 31 (UPI) -- A mother died from her wounds Saturday after she was stabbed last weekend during the Notting Hill Carnival, and renowned chef Mussie Imnetu died Friday after an attack Monday at the event.

Metropolitan Police confirmed both deaths Saturday.

Cher Maximen, 32, tried to prevent an attack on another person while attending the Notting Hill Carnival with her 3-year-old daughter. The assailant stabbed Maximen in front of her daughter at 6 p.m. Sunday.

Is there a charge for that? For the horrific trauma that is likely to affect that child for the rest of her life, and not in a good way? There should be a charge and more than just an aggravation. The child might never recover from the horror. She should never be in danger of ever seeing that man in her life.

Imnetu, 41, was attacked a day later and was found unconscious and suffering from severe head injuries in the Notting Hill area on Monday evening.

Police said Imnetu died from catastrophic brain injuries and multiple heart attacks Friday. He leaves behind an 8-year-old son.

The "heartbreaking" attacks are a "betrayal of the values that Carnival was founded to celebrate," London Mayor Sadiq Khan said shortly after the attacks.

Imnetu was a Swedish citizen and prominent chef who worked with Gordon Ramsay and at high-end restaurants in London and New York before moving to Dubai to work as a chef there.

He was visiting London on a business trip when he was attacked at 11:20 p.m. in the Queensway area of Nothing Hill.

Notting Hill is located in western London, and police arrested suspects in both attacks.

Police arrested Omar Wilson, 31, early Wednesday morning, who was charged with causing grievous bodily harm on Thursday.


Police arrested Shakiel Thibou, 20, of Hammersmith, on Tuesday, and the Westminster Magistrates' Court charged him with attempted murder on Thursday.

Thibou's brothers, Sheldon Thibou, 24, of Hammersmith, and Shaeim Thibou, 22, of West Kensington, also were arrested and charged with crimes related to the attack that ended with Maximen's stabbing.

Sheldon Thibou is charged with possession of a stun gun, violent disorder and assaulting an emergency worker.

Shaeim Thibou is charged with violent disorder and assaulting an emergency worker. He pleaded not guilty to both charges.
