Muslim adult man marries 8-year-old girl

Robert Spencer points to an awful incident of recent where a grown Muslim man forcibly married an 8-year-old girl, using the Koran to justify his actions:
Yet another child has been married because of Islamic laws that no one wishes to admit exist, much less counter in any way.

The BBC reported recently that “an eight-year-old girl, who had been missing for six months, was found living with a man who said he was her husband.” This man, identified as Sheikh Mahmoud, “initially said he was solely teaching the girl the Quran. But after legal complaints were filed, he changed his statement, saying he had married the girl with her father’s consent.”

He did this based on Islamic law: “When asked by the BBC how he justified marrying an eight-year-old, Sheikh Mahmoud said that the traditions of Islam’s Prophet Muhammad, along with that of the Shafi’i school of thought, allowed child marriage.” The BBC, as woke as ever, and thus determined to defend the image of Islam in every possible way, begged to differ: “After the BBC questioned his reasoning – citing opposition from numerous Somali Islamic scholars – Sheikh Mahmoud maintained that he would not abandon the marriage.”

The BBC’s “opposition from numerous Sunni Islamic scholars” notwithstanding, Sheikh Mahmoud is not some extremist or eccentric. He is acting upon standard, basic Islam. Islamic tradition records that Muhammad consummated his marriage with (i.e., raped) Aisha when she was nine, and the resultant fact that child marriage and the sexualization of children are taken for granted in wide swaths of the Islamic world: “The Prophet wrote the (marriage contract) with Aisha while she was six years old and consummated his marriage with her while she was nine years old and she remained with him for nine years (i.e. till his death)” (Bukhari 7.62.88). Muhammad was at this time fifty-four years old. Numerous other early Islamic traditions state the same thing.

Marrying young girls was not all that unusual in Muhammad’s time. But because, in Islam, Muhammad is the supreme example of conduct (cf. Qur’an 33:21), he is considered exemplary in this even today. For that reason, Article 1041 of the Civil Code of the Islamic Republic of Iran states that girls can be engaged before the age of nine, and married at nine: “Marriage before puberty (nine full lunar years for girls) is prohibited. Marriage contracted before reaching puberty with the permission of the guardian is valid provided that the interests of the ward are duly observed.”
Don't expect the BBC to actually champion the girl in distress, however. It's an almost forgone conclusion news outlets like them will soon sweep this under the rug again, and in doing so, allow repulsive perversions like these to continue unopposed for years to come. This is utterly disgusting, and it must be addressed by anybody who seriously cares about the well being of young girls.

Supreme Court Rules That Trump May Invoke Alien Enemies Act to Deport Foreign Gang-Members and Criminals In Repudiation of Judge Boasberg's Endless String of Restraining Orders

The Court ruled that deportations under the Alien Enemies Act have, historically, "largely been precluded from judicial review," so the judges who keep claiming they have jurisdiction are wrong and asserting power they just don't have.

The court allows that there is some possible relief for a claimed false deportation, but that relief must come by way of a habeas corpus petition, not a TRO filed in a district court.

The Court specifically mentions venue. In a habeas filing, the court with jurisdiction is a court with jurisdiction over the physical part of the country that the person is actually being detained in. So someone detained in Texas must file a habeas petition with a Texas court.

They cannot just keeping filing TRO's in the packed-and-stacked leftwing DC courts.

Keir Starmer Admits Globalisation Has Failed: "Globalisation Is Over, The World Has Changed"

The prime minister will declare an end to globalisation and admit that it has failed millions of voters as the fallout from President Trump’s tariffs reverberates around the world. 
In his first significant intervention since the United States imposed sweeping charges on imports, Sir Keir Starmer will say tomorrow that the seismic global economic effects prove the government must “move further and faster” to boost growth with supply-side reforms. 
Later this week he and Rachel Reeves, the chancellor, will make pro-growth announcements, including easing regulations on electric car manufacturers and bringing forward parts of the government’s industrial strategy. 
Reeves is due to hold an “economic and financial dialogue” with India on Wednesday to try to hasten a trade deal. Efforts are also being made to secure a new agreement with Australia. 
The prime minister will argue that tariffs are the wrong response, but will also say he understands Trump’s economic nationalism and why it is popular with voters who believe they have seen no benefits from free trade and mass immigration. 
A Downing Street official said: “Trump has done something that we don’t agree with but there’s a reason why people are behind him on this. The world has changed, globalisation is over and we are now in a new era.

J.D. Vance Was Right: Editor-in-Chief of Germany’s Right-Wing ‘Deutschland-Kurier’ Given Seven Month Prison Sentence for Posting Meme of Interior Minister Holding “I Hate Freedom of Speech” Sign


Vice President J.D. Vance was right. Back in February, Vance lectured Germans and Europeans over the retreat of their most fundamental values, including freedom of speech, the right to assemble, and free and fair elections. J.D. Vance called out Germany in a room full of Germans at the Munich Security Conference,

“This very country, where police have carried out raids against citizens suspected of posting anti-feminist comments online as part of ‘combating misogyny’ on the internet."

“There are thousands upon thousands of American troops in Germany today. Do you think that the American taxpayer is going to stand for that, if you get thrown in jail in Germany for posting a mean tweet? Of course they’re not."      

But, Vice President Vance was right.

In a movethat’s already sparking outrage across Germany’s conservative media landscape, the District Court of Bamberg (Upper Franconia/Bavaria) handed down a suspended seven-month prison sentence to Deutschland-Kurier Editor-in-Chief David Bendels earlier today (April 7, 2025). The reason? A satirical meme.

HUGE: The European Union Just Caved on Trump's Tariffs

BUT FIRST, THERE'S THIS:

While the left and their media allies urge panic over Trump’s tariffs and the market response, reality is telling a different story — countries are folding fast. Now even the European Union is signaling it’s ready to deal. On Monday, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced that the EU is open to negotiations with the United States and has proposed eliminating tariffs on industrial goods altogether.

At a press conference in Brussels, von der Leyen underscored the damaging effects of the current tariffs and made it clear the EU is prepared to negotiate. These tariffs come first and foremost at immense costs for U.S. consumers and businesses, but at the same time, they have a massive impact on the global economy,” she announced. “Especially hard-hit are the developing countries. And this is a major turning point for the United States.”

She continued, “Nonetheless, we stand ready to negotiate with the United States. Indeed, we have offered zero-for-zero tariffs for industrial goods, as we have successfully done with many other trading partners. Because Europe is always ready for a good deal, so we keep it on the table.”

THE KILLING FIELDS OF LEFTISM: Survey Shows Most Self-Identifying Lefties Say Killing Trump Is Justified

SURVEY: 55% Of Self-Identified Leftists Say Killing Trump Is Justifiable

The more troubling trend is the rising violent rhetoric isn't just coming from the 'fringe' left, it's being 'normalized' by the left.

M.D. Kittle

The unhinged left, fueled by Trump Derangement Syndrome and seething hatred for Elon Musk, is trending more violent, according to a new study that finds political violence targeting President Donald Trump and his billionaire adviser is "becoming increasingly normalized."

The report, produced by the Network of Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) in partnership with Rutgers University's Social Perception Lab, finds a broader "assassination culture" appears to be "emerging within segments of the U.S. public on the extreme left, with expanding targets now including figures such as Donald Trump."

Less than a year after assassination attempts on then-presidential candidate Trump and the literally explosive violence against Musk's Tesla electric vehicles, it's no secret that leftists are ratcheting up violent rhetoric and actions. The more troubling trend is that an "assassination culture" isn't just coming from the "fringe" left.

"These attitudes are not fringe -- they reflect an emergent assassination culture, grounded in far-left authoritarianism and increasingly normalized in digital discourse," states the report, titled, "Assassination Culture: How Burning Teslas and Killing Billionaires Became a Meme Aesthetic for Political Violence."

...

"The reports found widespread justification for lethal violence -- including assassination -- among younger, highly online, and ideologically left-aligned users," the authors of the latest study write.

They note the spillover effect beyond the online world, illustrated by a proposed California ballot measure macabrely named "the Luigi Mangione Access to Health Care Act," celebrating the alleged leftist terrorist and murderer of United Healthcare head Brian Thompson. The ballot measure targets health insurance denials, one of Mangione's reported flashpoints.

On Friday, a California man reportedly "angry with pharmacies" was arrested on charges of murdering a Walgreens employee just days after the Luigi Mangione Act was filed with the state. ABC 30 reported that Erick Velazquez, the victim, was not a pharmacist, and was a respected husband and father of two.

GRTWT.

Britain is lurching towards civil war, and nobody knows how to stop it

I now fear Britain is heading for open sectarian conflict, possibly war, and there’s nothing we can do to stop it. Here’s a snapshot of what I’m hearing.
On one night in Westminster, I met someone who argued for voluntary repatriation, two generations back; a Labour activist told me we must “re-educate” Muslims; and Jacob Rees-Mogg, debating me on GB News, said Britain should take “zero” refugees. I spluttered a reply about the good Samaritan and staggered off to bed, confused and depressed.
For two decades I’ve argued for controlling immigration, and successive governments, including Jacob’s, increased it. Suddenly I’ve woken up in a land where everyone manically wants to reduce or even reverse it, and they’ve leapfrogged me into a pool of dark resentment.
Nigel Farage is mocked as a “dhimmi” for appointing a Muslim to chair his party; he looks nervous of his own supporters. 

GRTWT.

THE ART OF THE DEAL: Not Trade Wars, Trade Negotiations!


Last week, Donald Trump didn’t just impose tariffs. He imposed reality.

If you actually care about free trade, you have to make others care about free trade with you

And the world is reacting exactly as he said it would: by lining up to offer trade concessions, slash their own tariffs, and — increasingly — negotiate free trade on reasonable terms. As of Sunday morning, at least 28 countries have contacted the White House to begin trade negotiations. 

Not trade wars. Trade negotiations. 

For decades, Washington allowed the U.S. to be the world’s economic doormat. And that made sense…during the Cold War. Allies and adversaries alike imposed massive tariff and non-tariff barriers, ran up obscene trade surpluses, and called it “free trade”, all while lecturing us on “global cooperation.” 

Trump changed the conversation. Now he’s changing behavior. 

I have argued for free trade for decades. I still am. But it’s that behavior change that’s been needed all along. If you actually care about free trade, you have to make others care about free trade with you. 

America has the power to do that. It’s the world’s biggest consumer market in a world of exporters. They need us more than we need them. 

Let’s be clear: Trump’s new reciprocal tariffs — with rates rising as high as 50% for chronic abusers — isn’t punishment. It’s leverage. Trump isn’t even charging our trading “partners” the full amount they’re charging us: he’s leaving room to add more should they be intransigent, while making them feel a portion of the pain they’ve made us used to.

GO READ THE WHOLE THING.

Trump Doubles Down on Trade Offensive — Europe and China Must Pay or Face More Tariffs

President Donald Trump has escalated his trade policy by announcing that he will not negotiate with Europe to lift recently imposed tariffs unless they pay “ a large amount of money annually, both for the present and the past. ”

Trump emphasized his strategy, stating that Europe has “taken advantage” of the United States for decades and that it's now time to level the trade playing field.

The president also noted that there will be no talks with China until the $295 billion trade deficit is addressed, while Beijing responded with a 34% tariff on US goods.

He also celebrated the impact of his tariffs, stating:

"China has been hit much harder than the United States, not even close. [...] Already, over FIVE TRILLION DOLLARS IN INVESTMENT, and rapidly climbing! THIS IS AN ECONOMIC REVOLUTION, AND WE ARE GOING TO WIN. [...] WE WILL MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!"
