Belgium: Police take down Muhammad cartoon posters, check CCTV cameras to find those responsible
“The police denied they were infringing the right to freedom of expression….’The caricatures themselves are absolutely not punishable, but the infringement here is illegal posting,’ the police spokesperson said.” Yeah, sure, that’s it.

What is the likelihood that these young men will, after completing their community service and — in one case — the two months (and likely less) of jail time, become loyal, productive members of Swedish society?

Both the UAE and Bahrain […]
Egypt’s Sisi: Erdogan ‘now openly uses the Islamic factor,’ warns of ‘wave of terrorists in Greece in the future’
The warning from the Egyptian President should put the EU on alert to not tolerate jihadist expansion by Turkey, which is aiming to revive the Ottoman Empire. Back in 2016, Foreign Policy Magazine warned that “Turkey’s new Maps” were “reclaiming the Ottoman Empire” and that Erdogan’s “aggressive nationalism” was “spilling over Turkey’s borders, grabbing land […]
Bernie Bro Amer Zahr Hates on Israel
“Just stop partying with Zionists,” tweeted on September 10 the Israel-hating Palestinian-American comedian and political activist Amer Zahr, a longtime Senator Bernie Sanders supporter.

The Trump Effect: Sudan Joins UAE and Bahrain in Normalizing Relations with Israel
And why the political elites hate America’s president so much. My latest in FrontPage: “This is one of the great days in the history of Sudan,” President Trump declared Friday.
