In Libya, Fayez al-Sarraj Announces He Will Quit, Upsetting Erdogan
In Libya, Turkish troops and more than 20,000 Syrian mercenaries brought in by Turkey have turned the tide in favor of the Government of National Accord (GNA), ending the 14-month siege of Tripoli by the LNA and pushing General Haftar’s Libyan National Army (LNA) forces eastward, all the way to Sirte.

France: Muslim migrant accused of attempting to rape 3 women in one night, stabbing one victim 9 times
Women are worth less than men in Islam. Men are instructed to beat disobedient wives (Quran 4:34) and infidel women can be taken as sex slaves (Quran 4:3, 4:24, 23:1-6, 33:50).
