    • The Globalist camp is filled with leftists and the Nationalist camp is filled with rightist, although given the way the Right has been demonized I can see why the younger people don’t want to be identified as Rightists.

  2. Muslim activists break Ramadan fast in front of Trump Tower in NYC

    Muslim activists will hold an Iftar Ramadan dinner in front of Trump Tower in New York City on Thursday, June 1.
    Iftar is the meal consumed in the evening following a fast held from sunrise to sunset every day during the holy month of Ramadan, which started in the evening of May 26.
    Muslim grassroots movement MPower Change and New York State Immigrant Action Fund organised the action to remind President Trump of New York’s multicultural make-up.

    “A former US air force mechanic has been jailed for 35 years after attempting to join the Islamic State group in Syria and offering expertise and a trove of classified military information to the militants.

    Tairod Pugh from New Jersey was found guilty last year of providing support to IS and of obstruction of justice, before being sentenced on Wednesday by a New York court.

    “The defendant turned his back on his country, and the military he once served, to attempt to join a brutally violent terrorist organisation committed to the slaughter of innocent people throughout the world,” the US acting Attorney Bridget Rohde said in a statement.

    The 49-year-old aircraft mechanic was stopped by authorities at a Turkish airport coming from Egypt carrying a laptop with information on how to cross the border into IS-held Syria.

    On his computer were also jihadi videos including beheadings…”

  4. Beijing makes Ramadan difficult for China’s Muslims (alaraby, Jun 1, 2017)
    https://www.alaraby.co.uk/english/society/2017/6/1/beijing-makes-ramadan-difficult-for-chinas-muslims

    “Chinese Muslims not only have to grapple with 16 hours of fasting this Ramadan, but also attempts by Beijing authorities to drive the faithful to the temptation.

    Restaurants in Xinjiang province have been ordered to open during daylight hours during the holy month, when observant Muslims typically fast.

    Muslim communist party members have been ordered to work 24 uninterrupted hours on guard duty making fasting practically impossible, according to the World Uyghur Congress.

    In one part of the province, Fridays this Ramadan – typically reserved for prayers at mosques and family time – sees the screening of communist propaganda films and sports activities, which students must attend.

    It fits with continued efforts by Beijing to undermine nationalist and religious sentiments in Xinjiang province, the traditional home of Uyghur-speaking Muslims some of whom want independence from China…”

    • As I keep on saying: Watch China and Russia very closely for how they deal with creeping sharia. Much as I dislike both countries, they have a much more clear (i.e., unclouded by Liberal Multiculturalism or Political Correctness) approach to making their nations Islam-unfriendly.

  5. Ramadan ban on burqas in Iraq’s Mosul angers locals (alaraby, Jun 1, 2017)
    https://www.alaraby.co.uk/english/news/2017/6/1/ramadan-ban-on-burqas-in-iraqs-mosul-angers-locals

    “Women have been banned from wearing the Islamic full face veil in the Iraqi city of Mosul during the holy month of Ramadan, sparking anger from some locals.

    The move, which came into effect on Sunday, aims to prevent Islamic State group militants disguising as women to carry out suicide attacks.

    More than seven months into the massive operation to retake Iraq’s second city, security forces have recaptured all but a handful of areas of West Mosul from IS.

    “Tribal and religious leaders have tried and failed to block the ban from coming into effect because they believe it goes against local culture,” a police officer told The New Arab.

    He added that security forces are forcing fully-veiled women to reveal their faces on the streets and in some cases forced them to take off the covering or return home.

    This week, three suicide bombings in Baghdad and a city to the west killed at least 42 people, with militants targeting Iraqis breaking their Ramadan fast and elderly people collecting their pensions.

    IS overran the conservative majority Sunni city in June 2014, soon imposing regulations stipulating that all women must wear the burqa in public.

    Local sheikh Basim al-Shammari explained that many people in Mosul were upset that authorities were imposing further restrictions on women’s dress just months after being freed from IS’ harsh regulations…”

    “President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday that Russia stands ready to sell Turkey advanced S-400 surface-to-air missile systems and had discussed the matter with Ankara, the TASS news agency reported.

    TASS said Putin made the comments to international media at an economic forum in St Petersburg.

    “We discussed the possibility of selling S-400s [to Turkey]. We are ready for this,” Putin said.

    “At the moment, we don’t produce those systems abroad. We are ready to deliver these newest and most efficient systems. President [Recep Tayip] Erdogan and our countries’ militaries are aware of it,” he added….”

  7. IS ‘butcher scholar’ killed in airstrike (alaraby, Jun 1, 2017)
    https://www.alaraby.co.uk/english/news/2017/6/1/is-butcher-scholar-killed-in-airstrike

    “A bloodthirsty jihadi theorist touted as a future successor to Islamic State group leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has been killed in a US airstrike in Raqqa, the militant organisation has said.

    Turki al-Binali was undoubtedly responsible for the deaths of thousands as a direct result of his “rulings”.

    Binali, also known as Abu Humam al-Athari and Abu Sufyan al-Salami, was instrumental in the announcement of the “Islamic State” in Syria and Iraq, and the declaration of Baghdadi as its “caliph”.

    He was a key recruiter of foreign fighters, and his “religious teachings” were used in IS training camps.

    Reports suggest his vehicle was targeted in the airstrike.

    Binali was sometimes described as the Islamic State group’s “grand mufti”, and issued some of the group’s most brutal and controversial fatwas – sanctioning the mass murder of captives and the enslavement of Yazidi women and children…”

  8. Anti-immigration Sweden Democrats overtake Moderates as Sweden’s second-largest party: poll (thelocal, Jun 1, 2017)

    “A fresh opinion poll from Sweden’s largest statistics agency suggests that the anti-immigration Sweden Democrats have taken the lead over the opposition Moderate Party as Sweden’s second-largest political party.

    National number-crunching agency Statistics Sweden (SCB) presented the results of its major Party Preference Survey on Thursday, detailing how voters would cast their ballot if an election were held today.

    The results showed that the government parties, the Social Democrats and the Green Party, would receive 35.6 percent of the votes. The opposition Alliance Parties (the Centre, the Liberals, the Moderates and the Christian Democrats) would receive 37.6 percent, the Sweden Democrats 18.4 percent, the Left Party 6.3 percent and other parties 2.2 percent of the votes…”
