Breaking: Muslim Man Who Beheaded Woman at Food Plant Just Received Harsh American Justice

On Sept. 24, 2014, ISIS inspired Islamic convert Alton Nolen entered a food processing plant in Moore, Oklahoma. He took out a butcher knife and beheaded Colleen Hufford and critically stabbed Tracy Johnson. Both were employees at the factory. Nolen, who had been recently suspended from the plant, was a practicing Muslim who was obsessed with gruesome Islamic State beheading videos going viral at the time.

Nolen was shot and apprehended after his rampage.

Nolen was facing either the death penalty or life in prison without parole after a jury trial in Oklahoma.

Friday, the judge handed down his sentence: Death.

Chicago Politician Requests Child Raping UN Troops… In America

Under the guise of stopping “gun violence” and “genocide,” a fringe County Commissioner in Cook County, Illinois, went to New York City to request that the United Nations deploy “peacekeeping” troops in Chicago. Seriously. These would be the same ruthless soldiers who have come under fire around the world for systemic rape of children, spreading deadly diseases, murdering unarmed protesters, overthrowing elected leaders, waging war on Africans who did not want to live under a Soviet-backed dictator, and countless other atrocities — especially atrocities targeting black people, and always perpetrated with impunity.

Teacher’s House Raided After Explosion at Principal’s Home

Federal agents have raided the Rhode Island home of a science teacher in connection with a pipe bomb explosion outside the house of the principal at the Massachusetts high school where she works.

The MetroWest Daily News reports investigators seized cellphones and other evidence from the Woonsocket home of Susan Seery on Tuesday morning.

Seery has been on a paid administrative leave from Bellingham High School since Nov. 15, two days before the bomb exploded outside the home of principal Lucas Giguere and damaged a Jeep but didn’t injure anyone.

The principal told investigators the explosion was powerful enough to shake his house.

The science teacher said Friday by telephone she has been advised by an attorney not to discuss the case.

Austrian Far-Right to Return to Coalition Under Conservative Sebastian Kurz

The deal comes two months after a parliamentary election which the People’s Party won but without an overall majority.

At just 31, the People’s Party’s Sebastian Kurz is set to become the world’s youngest head of government.

If the coalition is ratified, Austria would become the only western European state with a governing far-right party.

British Hindus Object to Muslim Centre in Non-Muslim Area

Kishanlal Ahuja | HENB | Leicester | Dec 15, 2017:: To check a Jihadi propagation and to avoid any Islamic attack from its epicenter, thousands of residents of a largely Hindu area of Leicester have objected to a proposed Muslim prayer room and education centre.

Supporters of the Islamic education center insist it is not a mosque; however, opponents say it will harm the community, the Leicester Mercury reports+.

After a developer applied to convert a vacant warehouse in the Belgrave area of the city into facilities for Muslims, more than 1,435 letters of objection have been sent to planning officials, and 3,569 people signed a petition against the plan.

“Belper Education Centre” a covert Islamic organisation is trying hard to establish a Islamic (read Jihad) education center in the Hindu area with an ulterior motive as suspected. Some 350 representations from Muslims have been made in support of the plan to establish the Belper Education Centre, as it would be called.

It is learnt that Pakistani and Bangladeshi origin Muslim residents in Leicester took the initiatives to make the proposed Islamic Prayer house cum education centre under Belper Education Centre.

The Leicester City Council says the supporters of the project claim it will provide local residents with “religious education, especially for those of Islamic faith within the area”.

EU to Sanction Poland Over Reforms to Its National Courts

POLAND is expecting unprecedented sanctions from the European Union as it tries to crack down on decisions made by its national government.

Warsaw’s controversial shake-up of its judiciary, which could force two-fifths of supreme court judges to step down, is causing increasing friction with Brussels.

The country’s new prime minister, Mateusz Morawiecki, is braced for the EU to issue an extaordinary formal warning by triggering article 7.1, a procedure which could lead to member states having bloc voting rights suspended.

He said: “As far as I understand, the decision has already been made that next Wednesday [December 20] the European Commission plans to start article 7.1…it will most likely be triggered.”

Germany: Cologne to Distribute ‘Tolerance’ Wristbands to Combat New Year’s Eve Sex Attacks

The city of Cologne has announced they will be handing out “respect” wristbands to encourage understanding between individuals on New Year’s Eve and prevent the kind of sex attacks that occurred in 2015.

The wristbands are part of a new campaign called “respect” which is sponsored by the city government and controversial Cologne Mayor Henriette Reker. Many have slammed Reker and the campaign on social media likening it to comments she made shortly after the 2015 attacks calling on women to keep men at “arm’s length”, Kronen Zeitung reports.

WikiLeaks Media Ruling in the UK May Prevent Assange Extradition

WikiLeaks is a media organization, a United Kingdom tribunal ruled, a designation that could help its founder Julian Assange escape extradition to the United States on the grounds of press freedom, The Guardian reported.

U.S. officials have been discussing Assange’s prosecution since WikiLeaks published thousands of confidential defense and diplomatic documents in 2010, per The Guardian. Jeff Sessions, the U.S. attorney general, reiterated America’s interest in Assange in April, saying his arrest was a priority.

Caroline Glick: Policy Speeches and Policies

What is President Donald Trump’s Middle East policy?

Monday Trump is scheduled to release a new US national security strategy on Monday. This past Tuesday Trump’s National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster gave a speech laying out some of its components in a speech in Washington.

McMaster’s speech was notable because in it he laid out a host of policies that McMaster himself has reportedly opposed since he was appointed to his position in February.

McMaster for instance has been open in his opposition to linking terrorism with Islam. He has also reportedly insisted on limiting US actions in Syria and Iraq to defeating Islamic State. McMaster reportedly fired his deputy for Middle East policy Derek Harvey last summer due to Harvey’s advocacy of combating Iran’s consolidation of control over Syria through its proxies President Bashar Assad and Hezbollah.

In his speech on Tuesday, McMaster embraced the policies he has reportedly opposed. He discussed at length the threat of what he referred to as “radical Islamist ideology.”

That ideology, which the US had previously interpreted “myopically,” constitutes “a grave threat to all civilized people,” he said.

McMaster regretted US myopia noting, “We didn’t pay enough attention to how it’s being advanced through charities, madrassas and other social organizations.”

McMaster fingered Turkey and Qatar, two ostensible US allies, as the main sponsors and sources of funding for Islamist ideology that targets Western interests…

EU Summit Overshadowed by Migrant Row

DIVISIONS are deepening between eastern and western EU members as the ongoing migration dispute threatens the bloc’s wavering stability.

Concerns about migration are threatening to overshadow the European Council summit currently underway in Brussels, which had been expected to revolve around Brexit and eurozone reform.

For years the EU has failed to make any significant immigration policy improvements and now it appears any new discussions will likely have to wait until mid-2018, after Italy’s general election in the spring.

The reopening of the migration issue was sparked by the European Council leader, Donald Tusk, who last week described the bloc’s attempts to impose mandatory refugee quotas as “highly divisive” and “ineffective”.

He added that “only member states are able to tackle the migration crisis effectively” while the EU’s role is “to offer its full support in all possible ways to help member states” handle a migration crisis.
