USA
On Christmas
night, President Donald Trump announced via Truth Social:
“Tonight, at my
direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and
deadly strike against ISIS Terrorist Scum in Northwest Nigeria, who have been
targeting and viciously killing, primarily, innocent Christians, at levels not
seen for many years, and even Centuries!” Trump wrote:
I have previously
warned these Terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of
Christians, there would be hell to pay, and on December 25th it was.
The Department of War executed numerous perfect strikes, as only the United
States is capable of doing. Under my leadership, our Country will not allow
Radical Islamic Terrorism to prosper. May God Bless our Military, and MERRY
CHRISTMAS to all, including the dead Terrorists, of which there will be many
more if their slaughter of Christians continues.
DONALD J.
TRUMP
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

A billboard that
popped up in Times Square proclaiming “Jesus is Palestinian” was slammed by
onlookers as an inflammatory and divisive prop that does nothing more than
“stir the pot” at Christmas.
The digital ad –
funded by the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) in an attempt
to spark debate and protest during the bustling festive rush – drew swift
backlash from holiday tourists after it appeared in the heart of Midtown last
week.
Adeb Ayoub,
National Executive Director of the Arab American organization, said the
non-profit has been renting ad space in Times Square since earlier this year,
with different messages rotating weekly.
He explained that
the billboard’s underlying theme is “America First,” with the goal of
encouraging people to recognize common ground between Arab and Muslim
communities and Christians in the US during the “busiest time in New York
City.”
Reuters reported
that on Dec 19th the U.S. military launched strikes on 70 Islamic
State targets in Syria this past Friday in retaliation for an attack on
American personnel, Jordanian fighter jets supported the operation, U.S.
officials said.
Secretary of War Pete
Hegseth said the strikes targeted "ISIS fighters, infrastructure, and
weapons sites" and that the operation was "OPERATION HAWKEYE
STRIKE."
"This is not
the beginning of a war — it is a declaration of vengeance," Hegseth said.
"Today, we hunted and we killed our enemies. Lots of them. And we will
continue," he added.
A Kenyan man has been sentenced to
spend the rest of his life in prison for conspiring to attack Atlanta’s Bank of
America building.
Cholo Abdi Abdullah, 34, was
sentenced on Monday to two consecutive life sentences after being convicted of
several crimes in Nov. 2024. Federal prosecutors say Abdullah is a member of
al-Shabaab, a Somalian terrorist organization affiliated with Al Qaeda. They
say Abdullah joined the organization in 2015 and spent the next year receiving
military training.
From 2017 to 2019, Abdullah trained
at a flight school in the Philippines which is an American territory. When he
was arrested in July 2019, he had completed all but one of the requirements to
receive his commercial pilot license. In January 2019, in the wake of another al-Shabaab attack in Kenya, Abdullah began
researching “Delta flights” and “tallest building in Atlanta.”
His searches pointed him to the Bank
of America Plaza, which stands 55 stories which is 1,023 feet tall in downtown
Atlanta. He admitted to the FBI that he planned to hijack a plane and crash
into the building, killing himself and countless others.
Thank God, Cholo has remained in US custody
since 2020 to receive his sentence this week.

Toronto RedFM reported that on
December 15th police in London, Ontario have charged a 19-year-old
resident named Safeeullah Aslami with three counts of uttering threats of
death or bodily harm.
Police said that on Sunday, December
14, between 11 a.m. and 12 p.m., the suspect was sitting in a common area of King’s
University College, where several other residents were also present. During
that time, the suspect allegedly compiled a list of adult male names and told
at least one person present that the list contained the names of people he
wanted to kill.
While seated there, the suspect
allegedly made threats toward two individuals whose names were on the list.
Those two victims reported the incident to a staff member. Following an
investigation police arrested the suspect on Wednesday, December 15, 2025. No
injuries were reported in connection with the incident.
UK
The Daily Mail reported on

councillor Sohail Asghar, 29, has been suspended from the leftist party after

https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/37698955/migrant-drug-dealer-groped-women-stays-uk/
The Sun reported on
December 20th that Muhammad Izhan, a migrant drug dealer was allowed
to stay in the UK by an asylum judge — just 24 hours before he admitted
sexually assaulting two women.
Muhammad Izhan, 22, was
told he could remain on November 11 after winning a mental health appeal
against his removal to Pakistan. A day later he pleaded guilty via videolink from jail to
groping two terrified women in daylight on a busy high street in Norwich in
June. He
was fined 200 British pounds which is the equivalent of $270. The Sun revealed
that his deportation had been signed off in May 2024 after he was jailed for 30
months for his role in a drug gang. But asylum judge Samina Iqbal ruled in
January that Izhan, now 22, who came to the UK when he was seven, had a right to family life in Britain. Thankfully
due to his guilty plea he is back in jail until May. Shadow Justice
Secretary Robert
Jenrick said: “Our immigration system
is a sick joke on the British people.

Mohammed Ahmed has a long
history of assaulting, abusing, and harassing his ex girlfriend and had already
served a prison sentence for strangling her. Cardiff Crown Court heard
that while the 36-year-old has not always co-operated with probation services
in the past, that position has changed and he now has a renewed interest in
his Islamic faith.
The court heard about the
volatile relationship and the court having granted his ex a restraining
order in 2020, an order that he has repeatedly broken.
During the most recent
violations of the restraining order Ahmed grabbed the woman and pushed her into
the road near the Angel Hotel telling her he hoped she died, while in another
he tried to pick her up in a shoulder lift while "demanding that she show
him some respect".
The court heard that the
offending was reported to the police and when officers arrived a struggle
ensued during which Ahmed struck a policewoman in the face. He had already
served 20 months for assaulting his ex girlfriend now he is sentenced to 21 months. He will serve up to
half the sentence in custody before being released on probation.

The Times of Israel reported this week that two men were found guilty on December 23rd, of plotting to kill hundreds in an Islamic State-inspired gun rampage against the Jewish community in England.
Walid Saadaoui, 38, from
Tunisia, who married a British woman to be allowed to live in the UK, and Amar
Hussein, 52, were Islamic extremists who wanted to use automatic firearms to
kill as many Jews as they could. Had their plans come to fruition, it would
have resulted in “one of, if not the, deadliest terrorist attack in UK
history,” said Assistant Chief Constable Robert Potts, in charge of
Counter-Terrorism Policing in northwest England. If their plans had come to
completion Bondi Beach would be small in comparison.
The Daily Mail reported
some of their court reported conversation as they were plotting: “Walid
Saadaoui boasted of his twisted desire to massacre British Jews, saying he
wanted to 'run rivers of their impure blood' – with any murdered Christians 'a
bonus'.” Walid also said a knife would not be enough to satisfy his lust for
what he saw as 'revenge' for Israel's military operations
in Gaza.
Bilel Saadaoui, Walid’s
brother, denied knowledge of the plot but was found guilty of failing to
disclose information about his brother's plans.
FRANCE
A survey from the
French Institute of Public Opinion (Ifop) conducted a survey of Muslims living
in France. Ifop’s goal was to examine “the influence of political Islamism” in
the country, notably through the Muslim Brotherhood, which the French
government has accused of engaging in a decades-long campaign to undermine
Western civilization.
According to the
survey, 32 per cent of Muslims in France consider Islam to be both a religion
and a legal system which should be used to define all aspects of life. A total
of 36 per cent said that they believe Western countries suffer from a moral and
spiritual decay which can only be remedied by Islam. Even more, 43 per cent,
said that they believed it was legitimate to campaign politically to advance
Islamic values in Western nations such as France.
Specifically on
the issue of Sharia law, 33 per cent of respondents said that they believe it
is intended to apply to the entire world. Of those who were in favour of such
conquest, 88 per cent said that they would prefer a gradual adoption through
education and preaching. However, nine per cent said that they would condone
the use of coercion or force to spread Islamic law across the globe.

https://samnytt.se/muslimska-elever-far-inte-be-pa-skola-do-anmaler
The Discrimination Ombudsman (DO) has received a
report that students feel discriminated against and that it is related to
religion or other beliefs," as the high school principal ended Muslim
students being allowed to pray in groups on campus.
Previously, the Muslim students had been able to pray
in the school's basement during breaks. When that was no longer allowed, ten of
them got together in October last year to file a complaint. In this, it is
written, among other things, that the students "are no longer allowed to
exercise their freedom of religion."
This is due to obstructing school staff from
fulfilling obligations and leaving the place they prayed in and the bathrooms a
mess after ablutions. Students were also granted permission to leave campus to
pray at a local mosque should they desire.
The Discrimination Ombudsman assessed that
the purpose of the school's rules, to prevent disruptions in the operation of
the campus and to ensure staff and students free access to sports halls and
changing rooms, is in itself a protected purpose that is objectively acceptable
and thus justified. Therefore the school's rules for the use of premises have
not constituted indirect discrimination in this case. Nor has there been a
question of direct discrimination.
QATAR
MEMRI caught an article published on December
17th, days before Christmas , by the Qatari state daily, Al-Sharq,
by Ibtisam Aal Sa’d who criticized Muslims who adopt Christian customs and wish
Christians a happy holiday. She warned that that these actions, constitute “an
absolute sin” that “angers Allah,” adding that smaller sins lead to big ones,
and big sins lead to very serious transgressions, “which lead to a bitter end.”

MEMRI found a video of a speech given by Gaza Imam who
also serves as a Hamas Tribal Official, Hussein Abu Ayada on December 19th
via Al-Jazeera Network out of Qatar. Ayada said that “Allah will turn the young men
into leaders of the Islamic nation who will lead the liberation of the world.”
He also said that “Allah has decreed
this war upon the people of Gaza who will remain steadfast and fight until they
are victorious or martyred.”
NIGERIA
Adamawa State Governor
Ahmadu Fintiri signed the papers pardoning Sunday Jackson on December 24th.
Then many asked an
uncomfortable question: Why now?
Jackson, a Christian
farmer from northeastern Nigeria, spent nearly ten years in custody; four of
them on death row for killing a Fulani terrorist who stabbed him during a
confrontation on his farm. Nigerian courts rejected his claim of self-defense,
sentencing him to death by hanging in 2021. His final appeal failed in March
2025.
This week, Jackson walked
free under a Christmas clemency order.
It is believed that his
freedom was granted only because of the hard line President Trump’s policies
have taken in respect to Nigeria’s stance against Christians. Rep.
Riley Moore called
Jackson’s imprisonment incompatible with any serious security
partnership, saying one of Nigeria’s “first steps” must be his release.
Shortly afterward,
Washington announced new visa restrictions targeting individuals linked to
religious freedom abuses. Only after that sequence did Jackson receive
clemency.
