Madman Threatened to Behead Jewish Congressman, Kill Trump
"Time for a New Crusade against Islam" by Raymond Ibrahim
Is it time to call for a new crusade? Not long ago, merely uttering the word “crusade” in connection with Islam was enough to provoke outrage. When George W. Bush casually referred to the coming war on terrorism as a “crusade” in the immediate aftermath of 9/11, the backlash was swift enough that the administration distanced itself from the word. Considering the countless apologies, condemnations, and mea culpas concerning the crusades that Westerners have been subjected to ever since, one might have assumed that “crusade” had been permanently banished from public discourse.
Yet, today, amid mounting anger over Islam and mass Muslim immigration, Westerners are once again openly invoking the crusades—and some appear to mean it quite literally.
Last week, for example, Jake Lang led what was explicitly billed as a “Christian Crusader” march in Dearborn, Michigan, home to one of America’s largest Muslim populations. Its stated purpose was to oppose the “Islamification of America,” and Lang was hardly coy about what he thought was happening.
“The Muslims have not come here to assimilate,” he said. “They have come here to steal the wealth of this land to rape our women… The crusade has begun,” he declared, adding to Muslims, “Your time in this country is running short… Muslims go home before we send you home.”
Nor are these sentiments confined to America. In Britain, Katie Hopkins has declared that her nation has been “overrun in every way” by Islam; therefore, “the time of the crusades will need to come again.” Even Deus vult—“God wills it,” the famous cry associated with the First Crusade—is making a mighty comeback.
It is hardly difficult to understand the sentiment behind all this. Millions of Westerners look around their cities and scarcely recognize them. They see Muslim enclaves and parallel societies, mosques and preachers promoting doctrines diametrically opposed to Western norms, demands for ever greater Islamic accommodation, elements of sharia appearing in Western life, and the targeting and killing of apostates and critics of Islam. They have also witnessed sexual-abuse scandals, attacks on Christians and Jews and their holy sites, and a seemingly endless succession of jihadist atrocities.
Former British-Israeli Hamas hostage married in Tel Aviv
Former British-Israeli hostage Emily Damari has married partner Danielle Amit in a ceremony held in Tel Aviv.
The couple, who met after Damari's release in 2025, have been engaged since January 2026.
Their wedding on Thursday was attended by several of Damari's fellow former hostages, including Romi Gonen, Doron Steinbrecher, Liri Albag, Danielle Gilboa, Omer Shem Tov, Keith and Aviva Siegal, and Gali and Ziv Berma.
Damari, 30, was held in Hamas captivity for more that 15 months after she was kidnapped from her home in southern Israel on 7 October 2023.
She national was shot in the leg and hand in the attack, losing two of her fingers.
In a statement announcing their marriage, the wedding was described as "a joyful new chapter for Emily".
The two brides celebrated with an intimate dinner for family and friends, before exchanging vows beneath the chuppah (traditional Jewish wedding canopy) in bespoke looks by Israeli fashion designer Oria Azran.
Damari's mother Mandy spoke about the 471 days her daughter was held in captivity, and told the couple that their nuptials "means more to me than just a wedding".
"During those endless days and nights, there were moments when the thought of standing here tonight, seeing my daughter alive, safe, happy, and standing beside the person she loves, would have been impossible to imagine," she said.
She went on: "Tonight, I don't want to look back at the 471 days. I want to look forward to all the days ahead".

Can Technology Detect Who Bows to the Antichrist?
Prophecy News Watch 27th August
 Revelation 13 says those who refuse to worship the image of the Beast will be identified and punished. For centuries, readers could understand the prophecy while wondering how such surveillance could ever work globally. Emerging 6G, AI and through-wall sensing technologies are making that kind of behavioral detection increasingly conceivable.

America Not Found in Bible Prophecy, Why Not?

Because Leftist Reprobates Take Over America? The eastern world, it is exploding
Violence flarin’, bullets loadin’ You’re old enough to kill but not for votin’
You don’t believe in war, but what’s that gun you’re totin’? And even the Jordan River has bodies floatin’
Eve of Destruction, 1965
People of a certain age, boomers mostly, will remember this 1965 tune sung by a gravel-voiced Barry McGuire. It got lots of airplay back in the day. It was dark, catchy; DJs loved it. Maybe some believed the central message; most didn’t, not really. For most, it was just another song on the radio, mixed in with Beatles, Stones, Doors, Janis, Jimi, et al.

Israel's seizure of Unrwa training college in East Jerusalem condemned
Israeli security forces have seized and closed a training college run by the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (Unrwa), the last of its facilities that was still operating in occupied East Jerusalem.
UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres has condemned the incursion of the Qalandia Training Centre, the latest move to threaten Unrwa after Israel passed laws against it.
His spokesman, Stephane Dujarric, said that under international law, all UN premises "are inviolable and immune from any form of interference."
Israel's far-right National Security Minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, joined the large raid on Tuesday and released a video of himself in the chair of the director of the Unrwa institute.
The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he had given the directive for the evacuation of the Unrwa compound, accusing the agency of involvement in the deadly Hamas-led attack on southern Israel on 7 October 2023, which it strongly denies.
The Qalandia Training Centre, which was set up in 1952, trained some 340 Palestinians a year in valuable vocational skills including carpentry, car mechanics and plumbing.

Far-right Israeli lawmaker damages Palestinian memorial with sledgehammer
A far-right member of the Israeli parliament has badly damaged a Palestinian memorial with a sledgehammer in the occupied West Bank while under military escort.
The incident has drawn strong criticism from Palestinians and across the political spectrum in Israel.
Video footage showed Zvi Sukkot, a member of the far-right Religious Zionism party, and several others striking the stone memorial in the Palestinian village of Madama.
In the video, Sukkot - who has a history of provocative anti-Palestinian acts - says: "This is something we cannot leave standing here, because any place that glorifies terrorism, we must remove it."
Rami Nasar, the head of the village council in Madama, said that the monument was erected in 2008 to remember Palestinians killed in the battle of Karameh - a day-long military confrontation between Israeli forces and those of both the PLO and Jordan in 1968.
It also memorialises Palestinians killed in the first and second intifada.
Nasar said it was intended to honour those who had been killed in conflict with Israel, whatever their political affiliation.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said its soldiers had been present during the incident. The Israeli military said it had approved a tour of monuments in the area for Sukkot and was providing security.
But the IDF said he and the others involved had acted deceptively and without authorisation.
