Islam in Europe > Violent migrant gets 19 tries at raping and pillaging in Spain; Migrant who beats and robs elderly, good enough for Italy

 

Spain: Muslim migrant goes on three-day rampage, charged with rape and brutal street beating, victim in coma

Said Leksili was in Spain illegally, but now his troubles are over. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez is giving Spanish citizenship to hundreds of thousands of illegal migrants, and so soon enough, no one in Spain will dare to raise a voice against this kind of behavior, much less to call the police. The migrants are in the driver’s seat, and they are no doubt well aware of the fact.

Algerian Migrant Accused of Rape, Brutal Beating after Three-Day Rampage in Spain

by Joakim Scheffer, Hungarian Conservative, August 11, 2026:

A 26-year-old Algerian illegal immigrant, already jailed over a brutal street beating in Valencia, has now been accused of raping a homeless woman on the two preceding days, tying together what police say was a three-day rampage that ended with a 47-year-old man in a coma.

The first attack occurred on 22 July. According to the Policía Nacional account reported by Cadena SER, the woman was sleeping in a tent on vacant land in Valencia when the man entered without her consent and used force against her. She resisted strongly enough to prevent penetration. Police say he returned to the same tent the following night, 23 July, attacked her again more aggressively and this time raped her. On both occasions, he allegedly threatened to kill her if she reported him….

Witnesses told police that the suspect became involved in an argument after residents complained about his behaviour. The 47-year-old victim, identified in Spanish media as Arturo C, did not know him. Video recorded at the scene showed the suspect repeatedly punching and kicking him after he fell, including blows to the head. Arturo, who already had one arm in a cast, was left unconscious and taken to hospital with severe head and chest trauma, broken ribs and facial injuries….

Spanish outlets identify the suspect as Said Leksili, an Algerian national who entered Spain illegally in 2020 and remained in the country without legal residence. El Debate reports that he had been detained 18 times since arriving, including six arrests for violent offences in Valencia over the previous three years—three for bodily harm and three for violent robbery. He also reportedly used two identities, one Algerian and another presenting him as Moroccan.

Social media reporting also claimed the suspect had a final deportation order to leave Spain that authorities failed to enforce. Spanish reporting said there was an expulsion proceeding against the Algerian, but it remained unresolved without an actual order.





Egyptian ‘Asylum Seeker’ and His Crime Spree in Italy


A migrant from Egypt has been carrying out a one-man crime spree in Italy, targeting the very elderly. He has just been arrested in Milan for robbing an 86-year-old man of a gold necklace. More on his violent career can be found here: 


Italy: Egyptian migrant who beat and robbed 86-year-old victim committed nearly 20 robberies targeting the elderly since just 2023

Remix News, August 10, 2026:

A 27-year-old Egyptian citizen with a long history of targeting the elderly was arrested by Milan State Police on Saturday after he violently robbed an 86-year-old Italian man of his yellow-gold necklace in broad daylight. The incident was captured on surveillance video and published on social media. 

The attack took place on Thursday, August 6, shortly after noon in Via Pezzotti. The elderly victim was walking with his wife when the suspect approached him from behind, grabbed him by the neck, and threw him to the ground. Once on the ground, the Egyptian tore the necklace from his neck and fled toward Via Antonini….

Such violence on someone so old could well have led to the victim’s permanent injury or even death.

He was arrested on the spot, taken to San Vittore prison and placed at the disposal of the judicial authorities.

Investigators say the 27-year-old has more than 20 police arrests, including convictions for thefts and robberies targeting the elderly.

He has been an asylum seeker since 2024 and is therefore legally present in Italy despite his long police record. He arrived in the country in 2023, first landing in Siderno, with his criminal history beginning with a theft in April 2024. From that point, there were 17 further reports for thefts and robberies, most of them targeting elderly victims.

Now why was he granted asylum seeker status in the first place? There is no civil war or other conflict going on in Egypt. The only people who would be in trouble with the current regime of General El-Sisi are members of the Muslim Brotherhood. And under no conditions should Italy be admitting members of the Brotherhood, with their stated intention of spreading Islam throughout the world because, as Muhammad said, “Islam is to dominate and not to be dominated.”

This Egyptian, a one-man criminal gang in Italy, committed close to twenty thefts and robberies since April 2024. He preyed on the elderly, targeting people in their eighties. He caused several of them bodily harm, by violently throwing them to the ground and pulling off their necklaces.

Here is what I don’t understand. He appears not to have been arrested seventeen times for thefts and robberies attributed to him. Furthermore, he seems to have spent very little, or perhaps no, time in jail. Why was that? Why did he keep being released when he was clearly going to rob again? And how many arrests does it take before such a career criminal has his asylum status revoked, and is then promptly deported back to Egypt?

Islam in Europe > Tunisian Migrants terrorizing Bavarian city; N. Ireland's new 1st Minister needs her eyes opened about Hamas

 

Tunisian asylum seekers terrorize residents:

robberies, drugs, rape

translated from “Tunesische Asylwerber terrorisieren Bewohner: Raubzüge, Drogen, Vergewaltigungen,” Exxpress, February 5, 2024 (thanks to Medforth):

The eastern Bavarian city of Regensburg with its almost 160,000 inhabitants is actually an idyllic place, not least thanks to the preserved medieval center. But parents here live in growing fear for their children. A few days ago a young woman (29) was raped. The police have now arrested two Tunisian suspects. Both are in their early 20s and are in custody.

The tragic incident did not happen out of the blue.

On New Year’s Eve, Tunisians rioted in the old town and sexually harassed a woman (33). A school director’s warning to parents is now making headlines:

“It’s best for your daughters to go to school in groups.”

The city has now removed the park benches between a girls’ school and the main train station. A hotspot for migrants who harassed women had emerged here. “We go for a walk in the castle park every day, and for a good six months we have heard more people talking in foreign languages,” explained the retired pastor Erhard Schmidt to “Bild.” “You could see the young migrants trying to sell drugs or burying them in the ground.”

The police confirmed such statements. Tunisians in particular are among the suspects. “The numbers for 2023 in the station area will exceed the numbers from previous years,” a police spokeswoman reported to “Bild”.

Anger towards the Interior Minister is now growing. Since last summer, an increasing number of asylum seekers from Tunisia have been accommodated in the asylum accommodation near the train station – coordinated by the Federal Ministry of the Interior.

The Regensburg CSU member of the Bundestag Peter Aumer published an incendiary letter to Interior Minister Nancy Faeser (SPD). In it he invites her to Regensburg. She should “get an idea of the situation for herself through discussions with the authorities and those affected.” He had already contacted the SPD politician in December, but only received a response from her state secretary.

There is a need for “turbocharged procedures for foreign serious perpetrators,” says the CSU politician. Faster procedures are needed for asylum seekers from the Maghreb states of Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco and Western Sahara. In addition, Tunisia would have to be recognized as a safe country of origin.

In addition, raids by migrants in Edeka supermarkets are increasing – eXXpress reported. In December, the call for help from market manager Konstantin Gatzke (48) made headlines: “Men dressed in black come to us every day, all from the asylum homes in Regensburg. Fill your backpacks and bags, go out the entrance without paying!” He was then attacked by left-wing extremists who accused him of inciting hatred against refugees.

Of course. Left-wing philosophy is to shoot the messenger. 

But the facts cannot be denied. Area manager Ferat Nuha (36), who himself comes from Kosovo, told “Bild”: “We have thefts almost every day. Around 80 percent of these are committed by foreigners. Things have been particularly bad since summer 2023. Suddenly it was mainly Tunisians who were noticed here, as if someone had dumped them here in large numbers. They are disrespectful, insult us and attack the employees.” Migrants also regularly come and go from a shop at the main train station, it is reported – without paying.

Why should they pay, they get their money from Germany anyway without working for it, so why should they give it back? The Quran teaches them that kafir's money belongs to them anyway. 





‘Hamas a future partner for peace’: says new

Nationalist Northern Irish First Minister


by Yuval Barnea, Jerusalem Post, February 10, 2024:

Michelle O’Neill, the recently elected First Minister of Northern Ireland, said on Thursday that Hamas will eventually be regarded as the future partner for peace in the Middle East in an interview on LBC.

O’Neill is the first nationalist First Minister of Northern Ireland, the post previously having been held by unionists, she was elected last week by the Northern Ireland Assembly after the office had been left vacant for two years due to a political deadlock.

O’Neill appeared on Tonight with Andrew Marr on LBC to be interviewed about upcoming changes and plans for Northern Ireland after her historic victory.

Pivoting from discussions on Irish neutrality Marr asks her “A long time ago the IRA was seen as a terrorist organization, the British Government and everybody else could not ever talk to. Do you think that Hamas, although regarded as a terror organization by many people around the world, is going to eventually have to be a partner for peace?”

“Yes,” says O’Neill, “I think you only have to look at our own example to know how important dialogue is and that’s the only way you’re ever going to bring an end to conflict.”

“If republicans didn’t talk to the British government or the British government didn’t talk to the republicans, in the past in Ireland we would not be in the scenario we are in today, enjoying a peaceful and far more equal society today.”…

At first glance, what she said makes some sense. However, radicalized Muslims are not Catholic or Protestant Irish. They are not nationalist or pro-British Irish. They are Muslim and they have a Quran which tells them they will run the entire world and subjugate it to Sharia Law. They are taught that all your money and all your children belong to Islam and they can take what they want, who they want, and use it for whatever they want. Their behaviour has not matured in 1400 years and is not likely to improve in the next 1400 years. They are stuck by their ideology in the Dark Ages and refuse to come out into the Light.

Michelle, don't be drawn in by their relentless propaganda.

This is Islam > Three Mohammeds in Brooklyn, rape, steal, run down cops

 

Two Mohammeds, One of Them a Syrian Refugee, 

Rape Women in Brooklyn

Following in Mohammed’s footsteps.

The original Mohammed raped a lot of women in his time and many of his namesakes are carrying on his work around the world.

A 25-year-old man accused of wielding a knife while his accomplice allegedly raped a female worker inside a Brooklyn business nearly two weeks ago has been arrested in connection to the horrifying crime, cops said.

Mohammed Alwi, 25, of Canarsie, was nabbed Wednesday in connection to the attack on a 49-year-old woman around 6 p.m. Dec. 23 inside an unnamed business near 9th Avenue and 59th Street in Borough Park, authorities said.

While Alwi’s partner-in-crime Mohammed Izzeddin, 22, sexually assaulted the worker, Alwi displayed a knife to keep two other people inside the business “under control,” police said.

She said she was with two female coworkers when the violent pair allegedly forced their way through the door.

“When I opened the door, the bad guy hit me in the face very hard,” said the victim, who does not speak English.

“I was afraid of hurting the other two girls, so I opened the door for him,” the woman said.

Izzeddin also choked her before he and Alwi swiped $300 in cash from the business, she said.

As ISIS says under these circumstances, “Allahu akbar!”

Mohammed No. 2’s mother apparently came here as a Syrian refugee.

During the proceeding, Izeddin’s mother, a Syrian refugee, put her head in her hands, crying and shaking.

And now New Yorkers, Jewish or, in this case Chinese, need refuge from the refugees.

“Both of them took turns dragging all three complainants by their hair and necks throughout the location,” Assistant District Attorney Chelsea Jacobi said at Alwi’s arraignment Thursday afternoon.

Izzeddin was caught on camera stuffing stolen money from the women into Alwi’s pockets, according to prosecutors.
Izzeddin then allegedly pushed the 49-year-old worker into a massage room.

As Izzeddin was raping one woman, Alwi was “standing a few feet away right outside that room and pointing his knife at the other two” women, said Jacobi.

“If you do not give me the money I am going to rape you,” Izzeddin told the woman repeatedly before following through on his threat, according to prosecutors.

He allegedly placed her hands around her throat, choked her, and then hit her multiple times. He told her to get a condom and then forced himself on her, according to prosecutors.

Under Sharia law, all of this would be fine. NYC’s justice system regrettably does not currently operate under Sharia law. That will soon be remedied, I assume, as soon as Linda Sarsour gets to choose the next mayor.

As the Koran states in Sura 4:24 states, “And forbidden to you are wedded wives of other people except those who have fallen in your hands.” That applies to captured Israelis and Chinese workers.

These two Mohammeds in NYC should not be confused with the third Mohammed who ran over two cops on New Year’s Eve in Manhattan.

Dozens of shrieking New Year’s revelers desperately fled through the streets of Midtown as a Mercedes car filled with drugs sped onto the sidewalk and mowed down bystanders, new hair-raising video shows.

Mohamed Alaouie, 44, of Fort Lee, New Jersey, was arrested in the early Monday morning attack that left at least eight people injured — including two police officers and “Black Panther” actress Carrie Bernans.

The dramatic footage shows the driver — identified as Alaouie — quickly reversing the sedan as witnesses scream in terror after police on foot patrol tried to approach the car.

The car then shoots forward and barrels into a halal cart before peeling down the sidewalk, around the pack of officers and back onto the street.

As the original Mohammed said, “I have been made victorious through terror”.

Why is there no discernment in the church these days?



Pastor, former director of food bank allegedly paid employee

for sex acts, stole thousands

James Gill, a longtime minister who was most recently the senior pastor of Liberty Baptist Church in Gallatin, Tennessee, and served as the director of the Sumner County Food Bank has been indicted for stealing more than $250,000 from the food bank he founded and paying a volunteer for sex acts.

A Sumner County Grand Jury indicted Gill, 81, for one count of theft of property over $250,000, one count of money laundering, and one count of patronizing prostitution on Thursday. He was arrested and booked into the Sumner County Jail on a $75,000 bond on Friday evening, according to a release from the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation.

Gill, who founded the food bank that serves up to 1,000 families weekly, passed on the operation to First Baptist Hendersonville in March 2022, after citing his failing health. He told News Channel 5 Nashville at the time that he was awaiting heart and cancer surgery and that his doctor warned him that he would die if he didn’t manage his stress.

“My doctors have told me, and they’ve told me, 'Mr. Brawner, that if you don’t take the stress off, you’re going to die,'” Gill told the news outlet.

In May 2022, however, the TBI said 18th Judicial District Attorney General Ray Whitley asked the agents to investigate allegations of theft involving Gill who, according to the Liberty Baptist Church website, served as their senior pastor for 11 years and has more than 40 years of ministry experience.

“During the investigation, authorities determined that James Gill (DOB: 6/1/42), who was employed as the director of the Sumner County Food Bank, used the organization’s money to make personal purchases,” the release said. “He also wrote checks to himself and others from the food bank’s account and transferred the money to other accounts under a different non-profit name. Further investigation revealed that Gill paid a food bank volunteer for sex acts.”

The Sumner County Food Bank reportedly had more than 300 volunteers between retirees and young adults in search of community service hours, at any given time.

Under the leadership of First Baptist Hendersonville, the Sumner County Food Bank is now known as Feed Sumner Food Bank & Ministry.

Liberty Baptist Church did not immediately respond to calls from The Christian Post when contacted for comment on Monday. A representative of First Baptist Hendersonville also told CP that no member of their leadership team was immediately available to respond to questions about the food bank.

In his retirement from the work of the food bank last year, Gill said his only concern in passing on the work of the food bank was for the people who depended on their services to be fed.

“My only concern is that people continue to be fed, and they are fully equipped to do that,” Gill said of First Baptist Hendersonville, which now houses the food bank in a larger space. “We grew from a 10-foot classroom to 12,000 square feet. This will be much larger, and I just pray it still has a family atmosphere.”

You had better pray for a lot more than that!

Approaching Sodom > Public Libraries like Drag Queens, but Reject Christians; Biden's token weirdo steals again

..

Kirk Cameron’s religious ‘story hour’ shot down by public libraries:

‘Not interested’

Actor and Christian activist Kirk Cameron is claiming that more than 50 public libraries have rejected his applications to hold a “story hour” to promote his new faith-based children’s book, accusing them of indulging the “woke left.”

The “Growing Pains” star says he hasn’t been given a story hour slot in public libraries, claiming that his publisher, Brave Books, has been told the messaging of his faith-based book, “As You Grow,” “does not align” with the LGBTQ-welcoming institutions.

Dozens of public libraries in the US have reportedly rejected or not responded to his publisher’s request for the former child star to hold an event, according to Fox News.

“We are a very queer-friendly library. Our messaging does not align,” one library worker from Rochambeau Public Library in Providence, Rhode Island — which promotes an event called the “Queer Umbrella” — reportedly told Brave Books.

Cameron, 52, has previously condemned gay people, saying that homosexuality is “unnatural,” “detrimental” and “ultimately destructive.”

Fox reported that the publisher was told by the library official, “You can fill out the form to reserve space, to run the program in our space — but we won’t run your program.”

Another branch, City Heights/Weingart Branch Library, in San Diego, California, told them they didn’t think that’s something they would do, citing the diverse community as their reason.

“I don’t know how many people you would get,” the individual reportedly said.

There is only one way to find out! Did you know how many people you would get when you started running programs by drag queens?

Brave Books took umbrage with the library’s responses, noting that some have hosted LGBTQ+ story times with drag queens in the past and wondering why they were being rejected.

“It is devastating to discover that many of our publicly funded libraries have now become indoctrination centers that refuse to allow biblical wisdom to be taught to our children,” Trent Talbot, founder and CEO of Texas-based Brave Books, said in a statement to Fox News Digital.

Cameron described his book as teaching “biblical wisdom and the value of producing the fruit of the spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, self-control,” with his publisher accusing libraries of pandering to the “woke left.”

“The woke left understands that morality is instilled by the age of 10, and they want their morality to win, not the morality that the Bible teaches,” Talbot said.

“This is proof that more than ever, we are getting destroyed in the battle for the hearts and minds of our children,” Cameron ranted to Fox. “Publicly funded libraries are green-lighting ‘gender marker and name change clinics’ while denying a story time that would involve the reading of a book that teaches biblical wisdom. How much more clear can it get?”

Drag queen storytime events — which involve performers in drag outfits reading books to kids — are a contentious issue around the country, causing an outcry by some who deem it detrimental to children.

This past weekend, a Columbus, Ohio, drag queen story hour was canceled when far-right extremist organizations including the Proud Boys, White Lives Matter Ohio and Patriot Front planned to protest the event.

According to reports, about 50 people — some carrying weapons — rallied against the event.

What a shame that it has come to that. In the battle between good and evil, America's public libraries have chosen sides. The public needs to get involved and insist that if they are going to run drag queen story times, they must also run Biblical story times. 

This front in the battle for the morality of our children will lead to another generation of confused and lost children who deny the reality of biological genders, and who ignore or reject Biblical teaching.

Deuteronomy 22:5 ESV /
“A woman shall not wear a man's garment, nor shall a man put on a woman's cloak, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God.

How long, Oh Lord, how long?

Is there a certain level of madness in Sam Brinton? Is he devoid of a moral compass? Is this how he does his shopping for women's clothes? Is he seriously qualified to work in nuclear administration? This is a failed experiment by Joe Biden and it only took a few months to manifest.



Non-binary Biden nuclear official Sam Brinton accused in second luggage heist


By Allie Griffin, NY Post
December 9, 2022 2:34am  Updated

A Biden administration Energy Department official who allegedly stole a woman’s suitcase from a Minneapolis airport in September has been accused of another luggage heist at a Las Vegas airport.

A felony warrant on grand larceny charges was issued for Sam Brinton, the deputy assistant secretary for spent fuel and waste disposition at the Department of Energy’s Office of Nuclear Energy, 8 News Now reported Thursday.

Brinton, who made history as one of the federal government’s first gender-fluid officials, allegedly stole luggage from another traveler at Harry Reid International Airport in Vegas on an unknown date, according to the outlet.

Details about the alleged theft are scarce, but 8 News Now stated that Brinton, 35, was charged with grand larceny with a value between $1,200 and $5,000.

The energy official, who uses they/them pronouns, reportedly has sticky fingers for suitcases.

Brinton was placed on leave from the Department of Energy after they were charged with felony theft for reportedly snatching a woman’s Vera Bradley suitcase from baggage claim at the Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport on Sept. 16, according to court documents.

The suitcase and the woman’s belongings inside it were valued at $2,325.

Brinton initially denied taking the luggage but later claimed they mistook it for their own bag at baggage claim — despite never having checked a bag before their flight, according to court filings.

This marks the second time nuclear official Sam Brinton has been accused of stealing luggage.

They allegedly removed the suitcase’s ID tag after plucking it from the luggage carousel, video surveillance showed.

They were later seen using the Vera Bradley suitcase on at least two occasions, while traveling to Washington, DC, on Sept. 18 and Oct. 9, investigators said.

​Brinton was subsequently charged with felony theft of a moveable property without consent and placed on leave following the accusation.

Earlier this week, a group of House Republicans called for Brinton to step down over the initial allegations.

R​ep. ​Andrew Clyde of Georgia and 15 other Republicans sent a letter to Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm on Tuesday calling for Brinton’s removal from the department.

“We demand the resignation of Sam Brinton, and we implore you to set aside petty politics and appoint only the most qualified and dedicated individuals to influence America’s energy sector​,” the GOP lawmakers wrote.

Shania Twain used to ‘flatten’ her boobs to protect herself

from stepfather’s abuse

Country singer Shania Twain revealed Sunday that she used to flatten her boobs in her childhood home to avoid being sexually abused by her stepfather, Jerry Twain.

The 57-year-old singer said that Jerry Twain would allegedly physically and emotionally abuse her while she lived in the house, reports The Sunday Times.

I'm sure she didn't say that he would 'allegedly' abuse her. There's no need to insert 'allegedly' into a quote.

“I hid myself and I would flatten my boobs. I would wear bras that were too small for me, and I’d wear two, play it down until there was nothing girl about me,” said the “Man! I Feel Like A Woman!” singer.

“Make it easier to go unnoticed. Because, oh my gosh, it was terrible — you didn’t want to be a girl in my house.”

Twain — who began her performance career at the age of eight — said she struggled with embracing her femininity due to the abuse.

The “You’re Still the One” singer first detailed the hardships in her 2011 autobiography “From this Moment.”

In the book, Twain details how there were times when she had to physically step between her parents because she was afraid that her stepfather might kill her mother.

“It took a long time to manage that anger. You don’t want to be somebody that attacks me on the street,” said Twain. ‘”Because I will f–king rip your head off if I get the chance.”

Might still be just a little anger remaining! 

Twain’s parents died when the singer was 22, and the singer spent many more years learning to love her body.

“I could speak and tell a story about myself, by the way I moved my body, the drape of the fabrics, the colours, where the focus was,” explained Twain.

“I was never an exhibitionist for the sake of, like, saying, you know, ‘Look at my tits.’ It was really me coming into myself. It was a metamorphosis of sorts.”

The Post reached out to Twain for comment.




Maj.-Gen. Dany Fortin not guilty of 1988 sexual assault, judge rules


By Aaron D'Andrea  Global News
Posted December 5, 2022 6:34 am
Updated December 5, 2022 1:54 pm

Maj.-Gen. Dany Fortin, the former head of Canada’s COVID-19 vaccine campaign, has been found not guilty of sexual assault, a judge has ruled.

Fortin, who has maintained his innocence, was charged with one count of sexual assault by Quebec prosecutors last year. Judge Richard Meredith delivered the verdict Monday afternoon in Gatineau, Que. There was no jury in the trial, which began in September and wrapped up in October.


The complainant in the case, who was attending military college with Fortin in 1988 in St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Que., testified at the trial that she woke up one night in her dorm room to find a man masturbating himself using one of her hands, while another hand was on her breast.

A publication ban protects her name and any details that could identify her.

She alleged during the trial Fortin was the perpetrator “without a doubt.” In the Crown prosecutor’s closing statement, Diane Legault argued there was no reason to believe the complainant would have forgotten, or become mistaken about the identity of her aggressor in the years since the alleged incident.

The complainant testified she was aware of how such complaints were handled by the Canadian Armed Forces at the time, and that knowledge deterred her from wanting anyone to know what happened. It was only after she had retired and no longer feared career repercussions that she brought the alleged incident forward in 2021, the prosecutor said.

Fortin’s defence lawyer, Isabel Schurman, had asked the judge for an acquittal. She said that the complainant’s testimony lacked credibility, and that other witnesses had failed to back up some of the details of her story.

A key point for the defence was that while the complainant said she told her ex-boyfriend about the incident right afterward, he told the court he had no memory of the conversation.

Fortin, who was removed from his position in charge of the COVID-19 vaccine campaign in May 2021 due to an investigation into the allegation, is separately challenging that dismissal in the Federal Court of Canada.
