Beginning the De-Islamization of Europe > Darmanin proposes halt to immigration for France in political gambit

 

French justice minister proposes three-year immigration freeze

French justice minister proposes three-year immigration freeze











French Justice Minister Gerard Darmanin has proposed a near-total halt to legal immigration for up to three years, as he prepares to take on the right-wing National Rally in next year’s presidential election.

Speaking to French broadcaster LCI this week, Darmanin said that he supports “a suspension of immigration for two or three years, with a corresponding increase in wages so that the jobs that foreigners do at very low cost go to French citizens.” 

After the moratorium, he proposed introducing a “quota system,” and holding a referendum to decide the number of immigrants allowed into France in the future.

There are nearly 4.5 million legal immigrants in France, accounting for more than 8% of the adult population, according to figures from the country’s Interior Ministry. An additional 700,000 migrants are believed to be living in France illegally. According to an opinion poll cited by The Times, 80% of French voters support tougher immigration policies.

National Rally leader Jordan Bardella is currently leading all opinion polls for next year’s presidential election, with former Prime Minister Gabriel Attal of President Emmanuel Macron’s Renaissance party a distant third. Bardella has labeled immigration a threat “to the very existence of France,” and has promised that his first act as president would be to hold a referendum on immigration.

Darmanin is a member of Macron’s party. He told LCI that he considers himself “presidential material,” and called on his party to hold a primary election to choose a candidate to take on the National Rally.

Darmanin drafted an ambitious immigration reform bill in 2023, which would have introduced strict quotas, ended family reunification and birthright citizenship, and barred most immigrants from accessing social benefits.

However, these provisions were stricken from the text by France’s Constitutional Council. The version signed by Macron the following year allowed illegal immigrants in certain industries to obtain work permits, while simplifying the deportation process for others.

Despite uproar from the right-wing voters he is now trying to court, Darmanin said that he would not introduce another bill on the subject.


The Islamization of the UK > Convicted terrorist running for Birmingham council, and will likely win

 

Convicted Islamist terrorist running for office in UK

Shahid Butt has urged his young supporters to knock their enemies’ “teeth out”
Convicted Islamist terrorist running for office in UK











A convicted Islamist terrorist is running for local office in the British city of Birmingham. Shahid Butt has urged voters to overlook his past “mistakes,” which include conspiring to bomb the British consulate in Yemen.

In an interview with Birmingham Live this week, Butt described himself as the “ideal candidate” to “unite” his district of Sparkhill in city council elections this May. Two-thirds of Sparkhill’s residents are of Pakistani origin, while a third of Birmingham’s 1.1 million population is Muslim.

Butt was jailed for five years in Yemen in 1999, after being found guilty of planning attacks with a gang of Jihadists on the British consulate in Aden, an Anglican church, and a Swiss-owned hotel.

He maintains that he did nothing wrong, and that his confession was extracted under torture. “It was all just made up,” he told the Birmingham Mail. “Nobody actually died, nothing happened at all.”

He has admitted to “mistakes” in his past, however. Butt was a member of a Pakistani street gang in his youth, which fought with white skinhead gangs in 1980s Birmingham. He also admits to traveling to fight in Afghanistan and Bosnia in the 1990s alongside the son of convicted terrorist Abu Hamza.

Butt, who describes himself as an “Islamist,” is a member of the Independent Candidates Alliance (ICA), a group of Muslim candidates set up by lawyer and accused money launderer Akhmed Yakoob. The ICA is running 20 candidates across Birmingham in the upcoming elections.

“I am not a pacifist,” Butt told Birmingham Live. “If someone attacks me...I am not just going to turn the other cheek, I am going to defend myself. I will be pre-emptive, as the law advises me, if I feel like my life is threatened, or my family, I will do a pre-emptive strike.”

He has advised his fellow Muslims to follow his approach. “Muslims are not pacifists,” he told protesters before local team Aston Villa’s match against Maccabi Tel Aviv last November. “If somebody comes into your face, you knock his teeth out. That’s my message to the youth.”

Beginning the deislamization of Europe > Unprecedented charges against pro-Palestinian protesters in the UK; Terrorist arrested in Germany for planning attacks on Jews

 

UK: Three ‘pro-Palestine protesters’ charged after calling for intifada, in first prosecution of its kind


There is no ambiguity in motive regarding calls for an “intifada,” or to “globalize the intifada.” These are calls to violence and revolution — an importing of Palestinian violence in their jihad quest, to which they refer to as a “resistance” against Israel, as well as against Jews or against any Zionist.

Inciting violence in Western countries is a crime, and should be treated as such. One hopes that this watershed case will lead to more prosecutions.

Three pro-Palestine protesters charged after calling for ‘intifada’ in first of its kind prosecution

by Marcus Donaldson, GB News, January 26, 2026:

Three pro-Palestine protesters have become the first to be charged with racial hatred for allegedly chanting “intifada” at a demonstration in December, GB News understands.

The Metropolitan Police announced the charges on Monday.

Abdallah Alanzi, 24, Haya Adam, 21 and Azza Zaki, 60, were charged with using threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour intending thereby to stir up racial hatred.

Mr Alanzi, Mr Adam and Mr Zaki were arrested at a protest outside the Ministry of Justice in Petty France, Westminster on the evening of December 17 after they were identified as being allegedly involved in chanting calling for an “intifada”….

Intifada refers to the Palestinian uprising against Israel inthe West Bank and Gaza Strip.

The first intifada lasted from 1987 to 1993, and the second began in 2000 and was characterised by suicide bombings, shootings, and stabbings, killing over 1,000 Israelis, many of them civilians.

The term becomes especially contentious when used in slogans like “globalise the intifada,” which many interpret as a call to export violence beyond the Middle East, rather than peaceful activism….

Globalizing jihad - the ultimate goal of many a Muslim. These men must be found guilty and must receive a substantial prison sentence.  





Germany: Muslim migrant arrested for planning jihad massacres of Israelis and Jews


This was to be a large-scale, Europe-wide operation. Given the ruling European left’s hostility for Israel and love for Hamas, it very much could still happen.


German police arrest Lebanese Hamas terror suspect linked with planning attacks on Jews, Israelis

by James Genn, Jerusalem Post, January 25, 2026:

Police officers at Berlin Brandenburg Airport arrested a 36-year-old Lebanese citizen linked with Hamas terror arms supplies, who was landing from a flight that departed Beirut on Friday morning.

The terror suspect, identified by Der Spiegel as Mohammed S., was on the wanted list of the Federal Criminal Police Office, the German outlet learned.

The German Federal Prosecutor’s Office has accused the suspect of being a member of the terror group and belonging to a team of “foreign operatives” who worked to procure firearms and ammunition for the terrorists to attack Jewish and Israeli institutions across Europe, the outlet noted.

He is alleged to have procured approximately 300 rounds of ammunition for potential terror attacks….

Authorities have alleged that he colluded with “Abed Al G,” who was one of the three Hamas terrorists arrested in October over planned attacks on Jewish and Israeli institutions….

Islam in Europe > Muslim on trial for killing two and injuring 44 in Munich car attack; Mohamed at centre of multi-million Euro fraud scheme in Berlin

 

Germany: Muslim migrant goes on trial for ramming his car into crowd, murdering two, while screaming ‘Allahu akbar’


“Allahu akbar” does not mean “God is the greatest,” as the worst paper in the Western world, the Daily Mail, says below. It means “Allah is greater,” that is, the god of Islam is greater than your god or whatever you worship. It is a declaration of the victory, superiority and supremacy of Islam, which is why jihadis scream it so often as they murder infidels or attempt to do so: the killing of the infidels is the execution of Allah’s wrath upon them. The Qur’an tells Muslims that Allah will punish the unbelievers through the hands of the believers (9:14-5).


Afghan man ‘rammed car into German crowd, killing girl, two, and her mother and injuring dozens more’: Driver ‘with ‘religious motivation’ muttered ‘Allahu Akbar’ afterwards’, murder trial hears

by Perkin Amalaraj, Daily Mail, January 16, 2026:

An Afghan man went on trial in Germany on Friday accused of ramming a car into a crowd in Munich last year, killing a two-year-old girl and her mother and injuring dozens.

The suspect, partially identified as Farhad N., 25, faces two charges of murder and 44 of attempted murder, with prosecutors saying he acted out of a ‘religious motivation’ and expected to die in the attack.

The vehicle rampage in February 2025 was one of several deadly attacks linked to migrants which inflamed a heated debate on immigration ahead of a general election that month.

Farhad N. is accused of deliberately steering his car into a 1,400-strong trade union street rally in Munich on February 13.

The vehicle came to a halt after 75 feet ‘because its front wheels lost contact with the ground due to people lying in front of and underneath the car’, according to the charge sheet.

A 37-year-old woman and her young daughter were both hurled through the air for 10 metres and sustained severe head injuries, of which they died several days later.

Prosecutors have said Kabul-born Farhad N. ‘committed the act out of excessive religious motivation’, and that he had uttered the words ‘Allahu Akbar’, meaning ‘God is the greatest’, after the car rampage.

‘He believed he was obliged to attack and kill randomly selected people in Germany in response to the suffering of Muslims in Islamic countries,’ they said when he was charged in August….


 


In Berlin, Muslim Fraudsters Pull Off Another Scheme


We already know about the massive fraud by Muslim Somali migrants in Minneapolis, that investigators think may have led to a $9 billion loss to the state’ s taxpayers. And we have lately learned about a similar fraud, involving tens of millions of dollars paid for welfare services that were never furnished, by Somali migrants in Lewiston, Maine. Now another massive Muslim fraud, not in America but in Berlin, has been in the news. It involved not fraudulent claims for delivery of welfare services that never actually took place, but instead, fraudulent tax refunds made to companies that never paid taxes in the first place, involving a Muslim civil servant well-placed at the Charottenburg-Wilmersdorf tax office. More on this Muslim fraud can be found here: 


The Berlin civil servant and the alleged multi-million dollar fraud

by Alexander Dinger, Welt, January 21, 2026 (thanks to Medforth):

Investigators in Berlin are investigating an organised tax fraud case. At the centre of the allegations is a civil servant. Details from investigative sources now reveal the alleged extent of the scheme.

The investigation focuses on Mohamed B.*, a former civil servant at the Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf tax office. He is alleged to have approved input tax refunds over a period of years, even though the companies did not actually exist or engage in any real business activity. Investigators say that this case is one of the largest of its kind in recent history and that it is alarming how easily the allegedly criminal network is said to have operated.

According to investigators, the gang made 366 unauthorised input tax claims between June 2018 and January 2022. Investigators list a number of companies that are believed to have been part of the fraud, including several with almost identical names. These companies had neither staff nor significant turnover, yet large amounts of input tax were regularly claimed and paid out by the tax office.

The choice of names for many of the companies is also striking. According to information obtained by this editorial team, investigators do not believe this to be a coincidence, but rather a deliberate strategy: the companies are said to have been named with the initial letter S so that they fell within the area of responsibility of Mohamed B. As the responsible clerk, he is said to have checked and approved the input tax returns. According to investigators, he did so even when no supporting documents were available or the information was obviously implausible. Internal control mechanisms therefore failed to work.

The Berlin tax authorities reject the allegations but have not commented on the specific case. A spokesperson for the Senate Department of Finance told the newspaper WELT AM SONNTAG that they do not comment on individual cases or ongoing investigations, citing tax secrecy laws. Regardless of this, the tax authorities have a large number of organisational, professional and technical audit and control mechanisms at their disposal. These are reviewed on an ongoing basis. However, despite extensive preventive measures, absolute protection against criminal behaviour cannot always be guaranteed, especially in cases involving a high level of criminal energy.

Any breaches of duty by civil servants would be thoroughly investigated and prosecuted, with criminal investigations being conducted by the law enforcement authorities, the spokesperson continued. However, the investigators’ findings contradict this claim by the administration. According to them, no thorough investigation took place. The investigators suspect that the Berlin case is not an isolated one.
The investigations paint a picture of a structure based on the division of labour. Several defendants are said to have acted as formal managing directors, often people with no knowledge of German language. Others are said to have organised accounts, obtained powers of attorney and made cash withdrawals.

The gang is said to have withdrawn a total of more than €587,000 from the accounts of two alleged hotel companies alone. The investigation has been ongoing since 2022. According to information from WELT AM SONNTAG, searches were carried out on suspects in several federal states. The gang was even monitored and wiretapped at times. According to information from security circles, searches were even carried out at two Berlin notaries in the course of the proceedings….

That 587,000 euros is just what the fraudsters stole from two hotel accounts, but investigators believe the total amount may run into many millions.

Why was there no “thorough investigation” of Mohamed B. and his partners in crime for such a long time? Could it have been prompted by the desire of law enforcement authorities not to be accused of “racism” and “Islamophobia”? That, after all, is what led the police in the U.K. for so long to avoid bringing charges against the Pakistani grooming gangs. Why would the German police be any different? And what will the police, not only in Minneapolis and Lewiston and Berlin, but all over the Western world, now do about dealing with these Muslim welfare and tax refund fraudsters, now living in their midst?
