An Iraqi culture-enricher in Switzerland attempted to kill his homosexual son by slitting his throat. The boy survived, and now his father has been convicted of attempted murder.
The photo of the son’s hideous wound was too graphic to include in this post.

Attempted murder of his gay son
Brutal father must spend 11 years in prison!
Dogan Z. * (54) wanted to kill his gay son in May 2019 — the Iraqi denied the act to the end. Now the court has handed down its verdict.
Dogan Z. is small and rather slimly built and his dark hair is graying a little. The shackles that he wears in the courtroom in Burgdorf (Bern) seem exaggerated on him. He speaks softly and his voice is hoarse. And this gaunt man is supposed to be a murderous family tyrant?
The court reached a verdict on Tuesday. According to a statement from the public prosecutor’s office, the Iraqi was found guilty of the attempted murder of his homosexual son, and was sentenced to 11 years in prison. Following that, he will be expelled from the country for 12 years. He must also pay the victim 20,000 [Swiss] francs in compensation.
Throat slit in his sleep
While Dogan Z. demanded an acquittal by claiming that his son wanted to take his own life at the end of May 2019, the judges believed the prosecution’s version.
The prosecution wanted the brutal father sentenced to 12 years in prison and accused him of sneaking into his son’s room on that fateful day in the spring. Armed with a 27-cm-long [10.5”] kitchen knife, he knelt over his sleeping son and brutally slit his throat — with the intention of murdering him.
Son manages to escape
“You’re gay, you’re gay!?!” the devout Muslim is alleged to have shouted during the perfidious attack. However, according to the indictment, the then-17-year-old fiercely resisted his brutal father and was finally able to break away from him.
With the gaping wound on his neck, he ran out of his parents’ apartment in Langnau. Neighbors immediately took care of the injured man. The teenager was then taken to hospital by helicopter. He lost over a liter of blood and had to be intubated.
Clear scars of the death-battle
In the meantime, the attacked son lives as a woman and calls himself Cataleya** (18). To this day, the scars on his neck are still clearly visible. The red marks from the struggle will probably never disappear completely.
She cried bitter tears during her interview last week. Sadly, the trans woman told the judges, “Every day when I wash my face and look in the mirror, I see my scars. I feel ugly.” She now refers to her father only as “progenitor.” Due to the incomprehensible act, she currently has no job and lost her apprenticeship at the time.
Today is the nineteenth anniversary of the failed attempt by Richard Reid, the “Shoe Bomber”, to blow up a jetliner over the Atlantic Ocean. Mr. Reid attempted to ignite a bomb concealed in his shoe on an American Airlines flight from Paris to Miami on December 22, 2001. He now resides in the U.S. Penitentiary Administrative Maximum facility in Florence, Colorado, and will be there for life — unless, of course, he gets a COVID-19 release, as so many other dangerous felons have.
Michael Copeland has composed a poem for the occasion of the anniversary.
Shoe Bomber
by Michael Copeland
For harm, for harm, for maximum harm,
Was the bomb that he hid in his shoe.
To kill for Islam, and be killed for Islam,
A devotional act to do.When he boarded the plane there were splashes of rain
Which had an effect on the fuse.
It failed to ignite, and others caught sight
Of the terrorist lighting his shoes.The passengers leapt into action.
One pounced and grappled him tight.
Pinned to the floor by a hero and more,
He was forced the dust to bite.He meant to deprive all the others of life,
All ties with the world to sever.
Now jailed for life, where life means life,
He won’t be released. Not ever.

Below is an excellent rant by an ex-Muslim in France, who is identified only as Samia. Many thanks to Gary Fouse for translating this article from Résistance Républicaine:
I am not an apostate from Islam, I am a free French citizen!
by Samia
December 13, 2020[Photo caption: The spoofs are out! Their indignation is variable geometry. We never see them denounce the serious attacks on the freedom of those who disbelieve in Islam and live in a country decreed Islamic. Curiously, never!]
What happens in Muslim countries for all those who don’t believe in Islam? Atheists, agnostics, Christians…What happens? Surely not what happens to Muslims in France!
While in our country, where freedom of religion is consecrated, where each can exercise his religion without any fear, whatever the professional liars say, apostates from Islam, infidels, are, in Muslim lands, mistreated, persecuted, hunted like animals, every day, in deafening silence, deafening! Who speaks of it? Nobody!
On the other hand, with each day that passes, we are bombarded, we are hit with the poor Muslim victims, the good joke of Islamophobia. Yes, a joke, a farce, a complete deception. France has been totally transformed, to my chagrin, in contact with followers of Mohammed. Endless mosques, halal butchers, streets infested by veils, all kinds of beards, and so on. Oh yes, and not to forget all the incessant demands for accommodations, which are increasingly satisfied. We want this, and we want that, and then this, and then that. It never stops! And incidentally, when we are not happy, a little cut here and there, and voilà. And to top it all off, the professional mourners, the dhimmis on service go into action at the slightest critique of all the mess brought about, created by a portion of the followers of the Lord Mohammed.
There is no way to get a word in edgewise when it involves those who call on Islamic dogma. The disciples of Mohammed have the boulevards to impose their doctrine. It is flagrant when you see all the accommodations made for their pleasure, when one lists all the waivers given to them, even if these go against the essence of French values. It is an incredible thing in a country like France, all those who find fault, in every manner, muzzled, ordered to return to the ranks of dhimmitude.
Those who are anti-Islam are left in the lion’s den when those who never cease imposing their vision of the world are supported with force by much of the media, anti-racism associations (or rather followers of stupidity), as well as political parties on the right as well as the left, without forgetting a good portion of our dear elected officials. Don’t forget those. They are so charming when it comes to defending the indefensible, and so acerbic with those looking truth in the face. Islam is a deadly doctrine.
I should not forget to say that on our territory, the same as with any Western country, a believer in Islam is called a Muslim. He is respected in his belief. He lives his faith normally, nothing is imposed upon him. On the contrary, we bend over backward that he may continue to be what he wants to be. We don’t call him a renegade, infidel, apostate, ungodly, kafir, or whatnot. Why? Because we are not in the presence of a totalitarian system like that of Islam, which imposes its teaching upon everything. We are in a secular country where each can believe in what he wants, yes, yes, even the tsetse fly if he likes. We are in a country where religious affairs are a private matter, of freedom for each person. It is the exact opposite, as opposed to Islamic doctrine, which imposes itself on all individuals, both in the private sphere as well as public. All human laws are inspired directly by the Koran, from sharia. Each precept is obligatory; there is never a dispensation. Everything is taken as-is without asking questions.
Moreover, in Islamic countries, one does not talk of individuals, citizens, or very little. One speaks of Mohammedans, the believers, the faithful, the Muslims, which amounts to saying that one could not be anything else.
Will the Dutch future be Red? H. Numan sends this report on the latest political shenanigans in The Netherlands.
Possible resignation of the Dutch cabinet soon
by H. Numan
Don’t hold your horses. It’s not good news. The cabinet may very well resign soon.
What’s going on? A bit of a murky deal to save themselves a world of trouble. Like a company where the management intentionally steers for bankruptcy. For years we have had nothing but trouble with our IRS. Several junior ministers (we call them state secretaries) and a minister have already had to resign. The IRS wants to digitize their administration and can’t get it properly done. The taxpayers suffer for it. In this case, really badly.
Time to update you about the situation behind the dikes.
This affair is called the ‘toeslagenaffaire’ or ‘allowance affair’ in English. It’s complicated. Two departments are involved: social affairs and finance. To be exact: the tax department. One gives away the money, the other approves of it. Peter robbing Paul. The problem is that Paul knows he’s being robbed and responds to it by wildly lashing out on what he can. I’m not going to bother you with the intricate details, but in a nutshell: parents could ask Social Affairs for an allowance to put their children in daycare. Large amounts of money are involved. Several thousand euros per family. As it is a tax deduction, this is administered by the tax department. The system is wide open to abuse, and was — of course — widely abused. The tax department responded with draconian measures. Thousands of parents have been charged in lawsuits or put in jail. Several even committed suicide over it.
A parliamentary inquiry is on the horizon. The government knows they can’t control it. Even their own parliamentarians will ask questions, and in all likelihood some will vote against their government. Simply because they have no other options. Yes, they would love to support the government, but this sordid mess doesn’t allow it. Something has to be done. ‘We have set up a commission to investigate’ won’t do it this time.
A lot of nasty stuff will be aired during a parliamentary inquiry. Several heads will roll, almost assuredly. With elections coming in March 2021, not something the government would like to see. So if parliament orders an inquiry, it is very likely that the government will resign. Not much can be done before March, anyway. Better go for the safe option. The Dutch media started airing this scenario last week, and continue to do so. That’s why I think we will see the resignation of the cabinet, probably at the beginning of January.
Premier Rutte is known as the Teflon premier: nothing sticks to him. I think he also has a reverse Midas touch. Everybody who dares to work within him withers away. In this first cabinet that was the PVDA (Labor) party*, which shrank to nothing. In the second cabinet, it was the PVV which had to pay the price. Now two coalition parties are on the chopping block. D66 (left wing liberals) and the CDA, the Christian Democrats.
In the past Rutte always got away with everything. This time, that’ll be more difficult for him. First of all, it’s getting a bit obvious. Second, he has a proven track record of lies, broken promises and bad policies. Did you know that under his government more than 10,000 ICU beds were removed? He worked ten years to make our health service “more efficient”. 70,000 health care workers were no longer necessary. Until the Covid pandemic broke out, that is. That ‘efficiency’ is going to haunt him during the elections.
Now back to the situation today. Quite a lot happened since my last article. First of all Hugo de Jonge has resigned as leader of the CDA party. He is the current minister of health and about the worst you can get during the best of times. These aren’t the best of times. His leadership during the corona crisis was basically running around in fancy shoes shouting that the sky is falling. He is being replaced as party leader by Wopke Hoekstra. Not Pieter Omtzigt. When Hugo and Pieter fought over leadership, Hoekstra politely declined. As Omtzigt is somewhat conservative, CDA leadership urged Hoekstra to take over Hugo’s position. It also very clearly shows that no matter what, the CDA will not work together with conservative (= PVV) parties.
Police cracked down on illegal lockdown-violating parties in Utrecht, Jamaica, Newcastle, Valencia, Queens, and South Wales. Meanwhile, the Food and Drug Administration is investigating a series of apparent allergic reactions to the new Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine.
In other news, the Irish government has proposed to criminalize the sharing or retweeting of hate posts on social media.

I hate to jump the gun on events, so I prefer not to write about the definitive Death of the Republic until January 20, after Joe Biden has put his hand on The Communist Manifesto, or The Autobiography of Malcolm X, or whatever he plans to use in lieu of the Bible, and been sworn in by Chief Justice John Roberts as the 46th President of the United States. That’s when we’ll be able to say that the Republic is morally, ethically, spiritually, physically, positively, absolutely, undeniably and reliably dead.
In the meantime I’m keeping up with the flow of events in this American Twilight. As is Roger Kimball, who has written a lucid, restrained essay for American Greatness that is worth reading while you’re waiting for the Biden/Harris administration and the Great Reset.
I found the link at Western Rifle Shooters, which also has many other links to much less restrained discussions on the same topic. If you want to get a feeling for what the community of, ahem, friskier and well-armed deplorables — who by now number in the millions, if not tens of millions — are talking about, I recommend following those links at WRSA.
Mr. Kimball opens his essay with these paragraphs:
A Betrayal of American Freedom
At the moment, the world seems to be divided into two camps.
One camp belongs to those who believe that Joe Biden, notwithstanding some possible election “irregularities,” won the 2020 presidential election fair and square. A corollary of this belief is the conviction that Donald Trump, by refusing to concede and go graciously into the good night of political defeat, is behaving badly (one venue even describes his behavior as a “disgrace”).
The second camp, which is where I reside, holds that the 2020 election was inherently fraudulent, that the fraud was perpetrated in ways large and small over many months, and that it appears to have cost Donald Trump the election. I say “appears” because the reality, I believe, is that Donald Trump won by a significant margin but that voter fraud obscures that reality.
The first camp seems to be the larger of the two and its membership is growing quickly as more and more erstwhile supporters of the president fold their tents and make their peace with “President-elect Biden.” Mitch McConnell, the Senate Majority Leader, was a recent high-profile defector from President Trump’s side.
Or maybe he is only a realist who sees the writing on the wall, not to mention the headlines in the papers and on CNN.
This is being too generous to Mitch McConnell. The majority leader has never been in the Trump camp. He may have pretended to be from time to time, when he found it expedient. But he has always been a member of what Sundance at Conservative Tree House calls the “Uniparty”, which includes all Democrats and most Republicans, especially in the Senate.
The Republicans pretend to be an opposition party, but the snouts of their leadership are as thoroughly dipped in the trough of graft and corruption as are those of Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, and the rest of the Democrat Party.
But that’s a minor point. And Mr. Kimball seems to allude to that reality a couple of paragraphs further along:
President Trump has not fared well with his legal battles, but that has not dimmed his determination to fight on, much to the dismay, indeed, the fury, of his critics in both parties (actually, I think it is basically one big party, but that is an issue for another day).
And where do we go from here?
It’s hard to avoid the conclusion that Something Ugly This Way Comes.
It’s likely, I suppose, that Congress is just too sclerotic for anything really dramatic to happen. It seems pretty clear that the courts — above all the Supreme Court — remain terrified of being called mean names by reporters at the New York Times.
London and Rome have tightened their Christmas COVID lockdowns, limiting personal holiday interactions to a strict minimum. Meanwhile, restaurants in New York City, which have been hit hard by the statewide indoor dining shutdown, have permanently banned Governor Andrew Cuomo from their premises.
In other news, a 17-year-old female suicide bomber, possibly an adherent of Boko Haram, killed at least three people and wounded a number of others in a jihad attack in northeastern Nigeria.

SPD politicians for more family reunification
Oh boy, oh boy: At any cost they want to repeat all the mistakes made in the past when it comes to migration. It is unbelievable!
The Turkish sociologist Necla Kelek has been warning for years that family reunification from patriarchal organized Islamic societies does not strengthen integration, but rather prevents it. Ultimately, that is what ensures that the strict corset of one’s own community is maintained in Germany and that parallel structures are set up or expanded.
The best example of this is the Kurdish Mhallami clans (often referred to as the Arab/Lebanese clans). They are by no means just called Abou-Chaker, Al-Zein and Miri. There are now 100 of these family clans in Lower Saxony alone. The numbers are similar in other federal states.
When parties like the SPD and the Green Left demand an expansion of family reunification, it is a frontal attack on our social, free basic order. Do you want it to look like the banlieues in France? Like in the migrant ghettos in Sweden?
How can one choose such naïve failures who ruin this country with their ignorance and ideological trimmings?
The World Health Organization has warned Europeans that they should wear masks this Christmas at family get-togethers. Meanwhile, a nurse in Tennessee fainted on live TV a few minutes after she received the COVID-19 vaccine.
In other news, British police asked citizens to report their friends and family members if they exhibit extremist tendencies.

Council of State: Convicted war criminals can get asylum
by Bart Reijmerink
16 December 2020Convicted war criminals can possibly still receive asylum in the Netherlands. That is the ruling of the Council of State. As long as these convicted war criminals pose no acute danger, they can qualify for asylum. This ruling from the Council of State can bring about many changes…
Currently, asylum-seekers who have a serious crime on their record are automatically denied, but the ruling by the Council of State may bring a change. In the future, they may still attempt to obtain asylum in the Netherlands if they can demonstrate that they have changed their lives for the better. In such cases, the State Secretary must look into the matter.
The Council of State says that Dutch people do not have to worry now. It is not that any criminal can claim asylum; there are “high demands” in place. The door has been opened a bit, but the criteria to enter the Netherlands remain high.
Nevertheless, the ruling by the Council of State is cause for concern. I can imagine that members of Parliament will want to have more clarity over this ruling. Because how do we guarantee that the criteria remain high enough so that no mistakes are made?
Vice President Mike Pence and his wife Karen will receive the COVID-19 vaccination on live TV tomorrow. Meanwhile, French President Emmanuel Macron tested positive for the Wuhan Coronavirus after attending an in-person EU summit. He, the French prime minister, and the Spanish prime minister are all self-quarantining for seven days.
