After the violent death of a senior citizen, the Hof Regional Court sentenced an 18-year-old Iraqi man to a juvenile sentence of three years for intentional intoxication. A conviction for manslaughter was not possible, the court emphasised.

The crime caused horror and left neighbours stunned: In September 2020, a 92-year-old senior citizen had been found dead in her flat in Marktredwitz. A then 17-year-old had kicked in the flat door, beaten and kicked the woman, even when she was already lying on the floor. The 92-year-old died of her injuries. The young man confessed to the crime.

However, the juvenile division of the Hof Regional Court did not sentence the 18-year-old to three years for manslaughter, but for deliberate intoxication. In addition, he was ordered to be placed in a rehabilitation centre. A conviction for manslaughter was not possible, as in the opinion of the juvenile court the accused was possibly incapable of guilt due to his state of intoxication. The judgement is not legally binding.

The Juvenile Court Chamber had come to the decision that the accused had been drugged into a massive state of intoxication, which led to highly aggressive and uncontrolled behaviour. He had first consumed cannabis and later LSD.

The 92-year-old woman only became a victim by chance. She had opened her flat door because she heard the accused making noise in the hallway. This had attracted his attention. Although she closed the door again, he forced his way into the flat.

The public was excluded from the trial because of the defendant’s age. The juvenile chamber found that the 18-year-old had harmful tendencies and a considerable need for education. In addition, he is said to suffer from a considerable addiction to narcotics.

The defence lawyer had requested that the defendant be acquitted on the grounds of criminal incapacity and placed in a rehabilitation centre. The public prosecutor’s office and the joint prosecution had requested that he be sentenced to six years for manslaughter with diminished criminal capacity and that he be placed in a rehabilitation centre.

Political scientist and women’s rights activist Ayaan Hirsi Ali warns against the propensity for violence among Muslim men. Sexual violence against women is rooted in all cultures, but misogyny in the Islamic world is “abysmal and disastrous, because it makes the female sex a commodity, a thing, a prey”.

Ali made her comments in an interview with the daily newspaper “Die Welt”. According to her, some specific forms of violence are religiously justified by Islam: “Violence against women and violence against non-believers, violence against Muslims who neglect or reject the practice of Islam. Violence against individuals who leave the faith behind, violence against homosexuals.”

This exercise of violence is “permitted, even wanted, in Islam. The believers are supposed to think that they will also be rewarded for this deed.”

According to Ali, “in countries like Great Britain, France or Denmark, a startling increase in rape crimes can be seen since the wave of refugees”. This is proven by the national crime statistics. On the one hand, this is due to the fact that “violence is the norm” in some countries of origin.

Take the sexual attacks by Arab and North African men on women on New Year’s Eve 2015 in Cologne: they were not really dealt with, instead the women were largely on their own – and a signal was sent to all other women in Germany: When in doubt, the state will not protect you.

The political reaction to the sexual assaults in Cologne in 2015 was pathetic.

At that time, Mayor Reker recommended women to keep their distance from strange men as a precaution. In doing so, she reversed the perpetrator-victim role. The women did nothing wrong, they just wanted to celebrate New Year’s Eve! But the attackers behaved towards the women as is far too often the case in their countries of origin. The signal sent by German politics to the assaulting male immigrants was fatal. Instead, it should have been made clear in all clarity: You immigrants must abide by German rules, full stop!

It is too late for Muslim immigrants to integrate. They have to assimilate to the value system of Western countries.

People there live in an environment “in which all order has broken down, also due to wars. In other countries, for religious reasons, violence against women” is approved of or at least “not readily sanctioned.” However, a large part of the crimes can also be attributed to “simply criminal behaviour of the refugees”, which cannot be excused or justified by “anything, not by ‘culture shock’, not by discrimination”.

Unfortunately, the judicial authorities failed to deal with this threat. “There seems to be a reflex of repression and concealment at work. Lawyers make cultural arguments to exonerate perpetrators because they were drunk or on drugs.” The accused often argued that they did not know the laws. A sexual offence also rarely leads to deportation.

“European women are more likely to be blamed for it themselves! They are advised not to dress provocatively near refugee homes, not to go jogging alone, not to go to certain neighbourhoods anymore, so as not to provoke. And certainly not at night.”

These acts are always “about the woman’s body, it becomes a groping place, a prey”. Sometimes there are discussions in public, “but when it comes to Islam, everything is hushed up quickly, even the women concerned squirm, not wanting to be considered xenophobic”.

Many academics would be “downright afraid to deal with it in serious studies, because they would hardly have a chance of being heard. I’ve seen several such cases where researchers lost their jobs and were socially ostracised.” Refugees are basically “only perceived as pitiful victims. And victims, the conventional wisdom goes, cannot be held responsible for their behaviour.”

Ali was born in 1969 in Mogadishu, Somalia, and fled to the Netherlands as a young woman to escape a forced marriage. Because of her statements critical of Islam, she received death threats and was under police protection.

In 2012, she was awarded an “Axel Springer Honorary Prize”. She is married to the Scottish historian Niall Ferguson, with whom she has a son. Her new book was published on April 19. It is entitled “Prey. Why Muslim Immigration Threatens Western Women’s Rights.”

“We must not allow the destruction of Israel to be called for on German streets,” said the president of the German-Israeli Society, Uwe Becker, in Berlin on Wednesday.

According to the police, 2,000 participants have been registered for the Al-Quds march of Israelophobes, anti-Semites and Holocaust deniers along Berlin’s Kurfürstendamm planned for May 8.

Becker stressed that “such a disgusting day of action” should not be permanently treated as a normal protest in Germany. “The day once launched by Ayatollah Khomeini pursues a clear goal and endangers the internal peace in our country.” He therefore called for a blanket ban on “this ‘festival day of anti-Semitism’”.
Al-Kuds or Jerusalem Day was initiated in 1979 by the then Iranian revolutionary leader Ayatollah Khomeini and calls on Muslims to conquer Jerusalem and destroy Israel. In Iran, this day is an official holiday.

Former Prague imam Samer Shehadeh will serve 14.5 years in prison for helping to commit a terrorist attack and finance terrorism. On Tuesday, the defendant concluded an agreement on guilt and punishment with the public prosecutor and, subsequently, Prague City Court confirmed the arrangement. Shehadeh was already sentenced to a ten-year sentence last year for similar crimes, so this decision will extend his prison sentence by 4.5 years.

Thirty-seven-year-old Shehadeh confessed to the act. He said that he did not regret it because he considered it right.

“I’m not a terrorist,” he said. He added that he was only trying to fight against the criminal regime in Syria, which he says is committing genocide in the country. The man faced up to 20 years in prison for possible help with the terrorist attack.

Similar to last year, the former imam refused to stand up when sentencing. He justified this by saying that he did not respect Czech law. The man has previously stated in court that Czech legal decisions are not relevant to him because they do not abide by Islamic Sharia law. However, the chairwoman of the senate, Zuzana Zápalková, imposed a fine of CZK 5,000 (€193) on Shehadeh.

The judge stated that the senate had recognized the agreement on guilt and punishment between Shehadeh and the public prosecutor because the punishment was adequate and within the possible penalty. Neither party appealed against the verdict, they could only do so if the court rendered a decision in violation of the agreement. After the meeting, the prosecutor told reporters that if Shehadeh did not confess, he would propose a slightly harsher punishment.

According to the indictment, Shehadeh flew to Turkey in 2015 where he met with representatives of the terrorist organization Al-Nusra, later known as Jabhat Fatah al-Sham (Front for the Conquest of Syria). He handed them the money he had collected in the Muslim community in the Czech Republic and Slovakia to treat wounded militants.

At the same time, according to the prosecutor Marek Bodlák, he agreed with them that he would recruit new fighters for the organization and continue to organize collections. Shehadeh also wanted to take part in the fighting in Syria himself, but due to vision problems, he eventually agreed that he would have been more beneficial to the fighters in the Czech Republic.

The indictment of the former Prague imam further accused him of supporting a Sudanese man living in Slovakia by helping him join the Al-Nusra organization. He provided him with money for equipment and with the necessary contacts and information for the trip. The man came to Syria in May 2016 and trained to become the commander of a unit of frontline attackers who also carried out suicide attacks, and fought for the establishment of Islamic Sharia law. In April 2017, according to Bodlák, he was killed in battle.

Shehadeh was already convicted of such conduct last May. The court sent him to prison for ten years. Samer’s brother, Omar, has been sentenced to 11 years in prison, and Samer’s sister-in-law, Fátima Hudková, is to spend six years behind bars. However, the couple was prosecuted as fugitives, and the court ruled in their absence. According to Bodlák, the Public Prosecutor’s Office still has no information about the couple.

The former imam was of interest to Czech intelligence agencies years ago when he urged Muslims not to attend anti-terrorist services with Christians. He left the Czech Republic in 2017 but subsequently was accused of participating in a terrorist group. Police detained him in Jordan. He was transferred to the Czech Republic in November 2018 and has been in custody ever since.

President Joe Biden cheated to get elected to the White House: a Rassmussen poll revealed that 51 percent of American voters share the belief that the election was rigged.

The majority of voters believe it is likely that cheating affected the outcome of the 2020 presidential election, including 35 percent who say it was “Very Likely” that cheating affected the result.

Seventy-four percent of Republicans currently believe that the 2020 presidential election was marred by cheating, a view shared by 30 percent of Democrats and 51 percent of voters not affiliated with either major party.

FWM reported on several cases where cheating was alleged.

They also said that it was more important to prevent cheating in elections than to make it easier to vote and, by more than a two-to-one margin, American voters dismissed claims that voter ID laws were discriminatory.

Only 29 percent thought laws requiring photo identification at the polls discriminate against some voters, while sixty-two percent said voter ID laws do not discriminate, countering the mainstream media’s persistent narrative.

The survey of 1 000 likely voters was conducted on April 11-12, 2021 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95 percent level of confidence.

Asked which is more important, making it easier for everybody to vote, or making sure there is no cheating in elections, 60 percent thought it was more important to prevent cheating, while only 37 percent said it was more important to make it easier to vote.

Notably, only 22 percent of voters said it was too hard to vote. Some 34 percent said it was too easy to vote, and 41 percent had no complaints.

Majorities of all racial groups – 59 percent of whites, 56 percent of blacks and 63 percent of other minority voters wanted to ensure that no cheating in elections were allowed. Similarly, majorities of all racial groups rejected the claim that voter ID laws discriminated against minority voters.

Biden’s strongest supporters were least likely to view cheating in elections as a higher priority. Of those who strongly disapproved of Biden’s performance, 79 percent thought that preventing irregular voting was more important.

After Georgia passed a new election law, Major League Baseball (MLB) punished the state by moving the annual All-Star Game from Atlanta to Denver. While most Americans thought it was bad to mix sports and politics, a majority of Democratic voters lauded MLB for making “the right decision”.

He is accused of beating his wife, the mother of his two-year-old son, to death after an argument.

Tunisian Salem M. (43) has been on trial in Bonn since Monday. Accusation: manslaughter.

Terrible scenes must have taken place in a flat in Euskirchen in the night of September 12 to 13, 2020. Here, the couple got into a heated argument.

“I could no longer control myself and I regret what I did,” the accused said via his lawyer Michael Hakner. During the altercation, he allegedly hit his wife by banging her head against the laminate floor, according to the accused.

However, the prosecution suspects that he hit the woman’s head with an object on the day of the crime. In the process, the 26-year-old suffered most serious injuries.

When he realised what he had done, the trained cook himself called the emergency services. However, help came too late for the victim; the seriously injured woman died three days later in hospital.

Already in 2018, Salem M. allegedly beat his wife during an argument. At that time, she reported to the police, but later forgave him for the beatings.

She wanted the baby, he didn’t!

After Ahmad A.H. (26) tried in vain to persuade his girlfriend (18) to terminate the pregnancy, the Syrian is said to have made a diabolical decision: The unborn child should be taken away – by force if necessary!

Now the trial has begun at the district court in Hamburg’s St. Georg district. Charges: joint attempted abortion, dangerous bodily harm. A.H. allegedly committed two assaults on his pregnant girlfriend, and in the second case even attacked her himself together with his compatriot Bashir Y. (26) to beat her up. Both men refused to testify yesterday.

Victim Samuela A. tells: “After Ahmad found out about the pregnancy, he was a completely different person. For the first few days he didn’t want to talk to me at all.” Then he begged her on his knees, gave her presents, but she refused to have an abortion. Days later the first assault: In the park “An der Steinbek” she was knocked to the ground by an unknown man and kicked in the stomach.

Shocked, she saw that her boyfriend let the attacker go. She was nine weeks pregnant at the time.

In the 8th month of pregnancy, the second assault happened, again in a park. Samuela A.: “I thought I was going to die now. The man hits and hits – and Ahmad joins in!”

A little later, her son was born by emergency caesarean section at the St. Mary’s Hospital. He is said to have a funnel chest, but the reason is unclear.

The defendant Y. now has a baby himself, brought the infant to court and presented himself as a tender father. The trial continues.

Yarden Cohen (43), a craftsman, served in the Israeli army, has lived in Germany for eight years, is a naturalised citizen, pays taxes, and his three children are growing up here. He knows how to defend himself. In the Goerlitzer Park he was brutally beaten up.

He points to his hands. They are bloodshot, bruises on his knuckles and forearms. Together with the newspaper B.Z. he went back to the place where he was brutally beaten up by drug dealers at 6.25 p.m. on Wednesday.

In Görlitzer Park, which the police have long listed as a “crime-ridden area”. In 2020, there were more than 1,500 drug-related offences, as well as robberies and assaults.

Yarden Cohen had to learn the hard way what that means when he wanted to have a cigarette on a construction site after work. The weather was fine. The setting sun shone into the park.

Immediately he was approached by African men: “Do you want cannabis, cocaine, ecstasy?” Cohen got angry, shouting, “Leave me alone. Leave people alone. Nobody wants anything from you!” But the men did not let up, also harassing a young mother pushing a pram along the park. “The woman was annoyed, scared,” says the father of a family.

Suddenly he feels a sharp pain in his back. A kick from behind. The strong, stocky man (1.74 metres) falls down. Then all he can see are shoe tips and heels hitting him. He curls up, protects his face with his hands. The men continue to kick.

When Cohen is able to pull a knife out of his pocket, the attackers back away. “One,” he says, “already had a brick in his hand. I could have ended up as a corpse there …”

No one in the park intervened. When the police finally arrived, the perpetrators were gone. “It’s a cat-and-mouse game,” says Cohen, “when the police come in, they leave. Once the police are gone, they show up again.”

Now he has an urgent question for Andreas Geisel (55, Social Democratic Party): “Mr. Interior Senator, why don’t the police protect me in Görlitzer Park? Why are walkers beaten up who don’t want to buy drugs?”

A spokeswoman for the Berlin police confirmed the case, telling B.Z.: “On Wednesday, the Mobile Guard had a different location there.” All the beating victim was told by the officers who took the complaint was, “Don’t you know where you are? This is a dangerous place.”

Yarden Cohen knows this: “I have been here for eight years. My grandparents survived the Holocaust. I deliberately went from Israel to Germany. But here in Berlin, no one can protect me from drug dealers?” He shakes his head …
