3. This next item is what we at VladTepesBlog call, a “Ban the pants” solution. A few times we have posted a video by the brilliant history and I think law prof. from Ottawa U., John Robson. In his video he explained how one the last, or the last Emperor of Rome tried to stop the barbarian invasion by banning pants, the way they dressed as opposed to togas, illegal. This ludicrous attempt to pivot between imported Islamic global-manifest destiny and domestic is about the same. Islam is nothing but jingoism. It has more about hell for failing to wage jihad, and how one must wage jihad than about any kind of system of living which is moral or up-lifting or beneficial to its members. It is about rape,  conquest, theft, and murder of the unbeliever. It doesn’t matter who pays for the teachings. This is what Koran, Hadiths, Sharia law, The Sunna and The Reliance of the Traveller clearly state.

France will no longer accept imams trained by foreign countries

French Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin has announced in a letter that from 1 January 2024, France will no longer accept new imams trained and sent by other countries. This in a bid to reduce “foreign influence” on Islam in France.

That means by 1 April 2024, imams sent from other countries still present in France will not be able to remain under their current status.

Instead, they will have to change their status and a specific framework will be implemented to enable associations managing places of worship to recruit imams themselves, whom they will pay directly.

The measure aims to ensure that no imam is paid by a foreign state, of which he is a civil servant or public official.

In early 2020, President Emmanuel Macron announced his intention to put an end to the work of the 300 or so imams sent by various countries, including Algeria, Turkey, and Morocco, while at the same time increasing the number of imams trained in France.

Macron said the move was designed to combat “foreign influences” on Islam in France, including “Islamist separatism“.

Perhaps if Macron read the Koran, or even a decent French history book about Charles, The Hammer Martel he may set less absurd policies on Islam. Like deporting them instead of building a mega-mosque on the very ground where Martel defeated invading Islamic armies in the battle of Tours.

4. New Years Eve in Toronto from Beth Baisch and The Post Millennial

To answer Beth’s question, because they have the same goals. And these guys calling Trudeau out makes him look better to the useful idiots.

5. GIESBRECHT: Canada’s woke Liberal government has nothing to say about 90 burned churches

In Canada, the churches are still burning. And nobody in a position to do anything about it reacts. Why?

Churches started burning in Canada after the May, 2021 Kamloops claim that the bodies of indigenous children — murdered and secretly buried by priests — had been found on the grounds of the former Kamloops Indian Residential School (KIRS.)

The Kamloops First Nation has now updated its claim. But in 2023, more churches went up in smoke, four in Alberta alone in the last two weeks ago. The most recent was the Seventh Day Adventist church in Beiseker, that was torched in the early hours of the Thursday before Christmas.

This brings the number of Canadian churches torched in the last 30 months to 90.

Ninety.

On average then, three a month.

Are all of these church burnings directly related to the Kamloops claim?

The answer is unknown for the simple reason the RCMP have not brought prosecutions against those responsible for the 90 arson cases.

If the question is out there whether or not the RCMP is as much an agent of communist enforcement as the FBI appear to be, we have our answer now.

There are a lot of comments today on geopolitical events. These are worth seeing and maybe thinking about before interpreting at face value. I remember during the Afghanistan war and the war with the Islamic State, major leaders were frequently reported on as being killed, but then it appeared it was just to get them off the game board, as it were, and there they were to get killed two or three times more after that.

So it is today maybe with a Hamas leader in Lebanon.

But also lots on the Korean Peninsula, the Gulf, the US and Houthis, Turkey and the UK naval issues, and there is also this 45 minute sort of classical geopolitical analysis by Caroline Glick:
