Afghan asylum seeker rapes 83-year-old German grandmother and seriously injures her
This crime is hardly surpassed in its repulsiveness.
Hamid A. (47 years old) is said to have chased Christiane B. (83 years old) from Delitzsch to the railway underpass near the station in the early evening of January 9th.There he is said to have pushed the hearing impaired senior citizen from behind to the ground and raped her.
Since Wednesday, the Afghan whose asylum application was rejected as early as 1999 has been standing trial in the regional court for rape.
The public prosecutor at the arraignment: “The woman suffered tremendous pain from the fall itself, as she fell with her face onto the asphalt and broke her prosthesis.”
In a preliminary opinion, the defendant was certified “low intelligence”. In addition, he was dangerous in case of drinking alcohol. A., who had initially confessed to the crime, claimed at Wednesday’s trial: “I just wanted to help her up.”
This is not the first time he has been on trial. In 2016 he was sentenced to two years in prison for child abuse and other crimes. He is now facing at least four years in prison. Verdict today.
Turkey wants to reconvert Hagia Sophia into a mosque
At the proposal of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, the country has launched administrative procedures to approve the conversion of Hagia Sophia, Istanbul’s second most visited tourist attraction into a mosque, conservative Hungarian news portal Mandiner reports.
The Council of State (which, despite what its name suggests, is the country’s top administrative court) began proceedings in a case that goes back to 2016, when a conservative group asked that a 1934 decision by the Council of Ministers to turn the monument into a museum be annulled, arguing that the decision was taken in violation of private property.
By law, the church has been the property of Sultan Mehmet II, who conquered Constantinople in 1453. Built in 537 and regarded as the pinnacle of Byzantine architecture, it was the seat of the ecumenical patriarch of Constantinople for most of the time, except a short period (1204-1264) when the Fourth Crusaders turned it into a Roman Catholic church. It was converted into a mosque in the year Mehmet II conquered the city.
The group behind the motion also claims that on the decision of converting the monument into a museum then President Kemal Atatürk’s signature is a forgery.
Archbishop of Constantinople Bartholomew I (who is also the de facto spiritual leader of the Orthodox Christians worldwide), said that “instead of uniting, a 1,500-year-old heritage is dividing us”.
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Wednesday that “the Government of Turkey has administered the Hagia Sophia as a museum – officially recognized by UNESCO as part of the Historic Areas of Istanbul World Heritage Site – in an outstanding manner for nearly a century,” adding that it should remain a museum.
A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1985, Hagia Sophia attracted in 2018 2.92 million visitors, ranking it second among Istanbul’s attractions behind the Topkapi Palace (three million visitors).

Austrian Govt Ministers Under Police Protection After Death Threats from Turkish Grey Wolves
Austrian Interior Minister Karl Nehammer and Integration Minister Susanne Raab have been placed under police protection following death threats from the far-right Turkish Grey Wolves after a series of riots last week in Vienna.
Both ministers, who are members of Chancellor Sebastian Kurz’s Austrian People’s Party (ÖVP), have been given police protection since Tuesday night. They are currently being guarded by the elite Cobra unit of the Austrian police force.
Austria’s domestic security agency, the Office for the Protection of the Constitution, has also commented on the matter, saying: “We are investigating online hate and death threats against officials of the Republic of Austria.”
“I am not intimidated by the threats. I will not deviate from my course and will continue to take decisive action against extremist ideologies such as political Islam and influences from Turkey,” Integration Minister Raab said, according to tabloid Kronen Zeitung.
The death threats come as tensions continue to remain high between Austria and Turkey following a series of riots between the far-right Grey Wolves and Kurdish supporters of the terrorist Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) and their far-left Antifa allies. Clashes occurred last week in the heavily migrant-populated Vienna district of Favoriten.
The Turkish media responded to the clashes by claiming that Austria, which banned the public display of PKK symbols and flags last year, was “a PKK country”.
Chancellor Kurz, meanwhile, slammed the government of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan earlier in the week, saying “that there must be an end to Turkey trying to influence the people here in Austria and instrumentalising them for their conflicts”.
“Because I know exactly what Turkey is trying to do here: namely to use Turks in Europe to sow strife and to create moods here and there above all for Turkey’s own interests,” he said.
Tories To Boycott Chinese Products
German politicians part of ‘Anti-Israel International,’ says expert
Henryk Broder, Germany’s leading authority on contemporary antisemitismin the federal republic, wrote on Monday that scores of left-wing German politicians are anti-Israel because they signed a letter slamming Israel’s plan to exercise sovereignty over parts of the disputed West Bank territory.Broder, who has testified in the Bundestag about new forms of Jew-hatred since the Holocaust, titled his article “The anti-Israel International” on the popular journalist website “The Axis of Good.”
The German Jewish author and journalist writes commentary for the Die Welt –a large broadsheet paper. Broder has a significant readership in the German-speaking world.He mocked German politicians from the Left, Social Democratic and Green parties who signed the protest letter for not directing their letter to Turkey’s occupation of North Cyprus, Russia’s annexation of Crimea and China’s occupation of Tibet.Critics have cited the European political preoccupation with the Jewish state as a form of double standard. Israel’s democracy is singled out while non-democratic nations who commit massive human rights crimes are not targeted.The German politicians from the European parliament and the Bundestag, along with other politicians, wrote in their June 23 letter: “We, parliamentarians from across Europe committed to a rules-based global order, share serious concerns about President Trump’s plan for the Israeli Palestinian conflict and the imminent prospect of Israeli annexation of West Bank territory. We are deeply worried about the precedent this would set for international relations at large.”A number of the German politicians who signed the letter promote the Boycott, Sanctions and Divestment campaign against Israel or have failed to take action against BDS-animated antisemitism within their party.
Social Democratic Party MP Aydan Özoguz is on the advisory board of the pro-BDS German-Palestinian Society (DPG). The DPG just called for ending the EU-Israel “Association Agreement” because of the sovereignty dispute. Özoguz, whose election district is based in the city-state of Hamburg, declined to answer Jerusalem Post queries.Daniel Killy, who is a spokesman for the Hamburg Jewish community, told the Post that in his role as a member of the executive board of the German-Israel Friendship Society, “membership in the German-Palestinian Society and a simultaneous commitment to Israel are mutually exclusive. The three members of the Bundestag, Özuguz, Nouripour and Buchholz, have to decide where they stand. And anyone who follows the German state doctrine and thus accepts the security of Israel as not subject to discussion cannot and must not be a member of an organization that glorifies terror.”He added that, “therefore, resignations of the three deputies from the DPG would only be self-evident. However, should membership hide more than ignorance and should it be an expression of a clear anti-Israel stance, these three parliamentarians are no longer acceptable to represent the German people.”
GREEN PARTY MP Clauda Roth also signed the letter. In 2019, Germany’s largest paper Bild said Roth “made antisemitism socially respectable” in Germany because she embraced Iranian regime Holocaust denier Ali Larijani. Cem Özdemir, a Green Party MP, also signed the letter. Özdemir has declined to comment about Roth’s alleged mainstreaming of Larijani, who urges the destruction of Israel.Özdemir has also remained indifferent to alleged antisemitic BDS activity from Green Party foreign policy spokesman Omid Nouripour, who is on the advisory board of the DPG. Nouripour has refused to answer Post queries about his role in the DPG, calling for sanctions against the Jewish state.Green MP Jürgen Trittin also signed the letter. Trittin praised the late antisemitic left-wing terrorist Dieter Kunzelmann in 2018, who reportedly sought to blow up the Jewish community center in Berlin in 1969. Kunzelmann trained with Palestinian terrorists.Another Green Party MP who signed the letter is Katrin Göring-Eckardt, who defended her party’s initiative to label Jewish products from the disputed territories in 2013, which is considered a BDS activity. A year before the Green party, Germany’s neo-Nazi party NPD formulated similar legislation in the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.Left Party MP Sahra Wagenknecht also signed the letter. Wagenknecht and fellow Left Party MP Christine Buchholz refused to participate in a 2010 standing ovation for former president Shimon Peres on Holocaust Remembrance Day in the Bundestag.Buchholz, a Left Party Bundestag deputy, is also on the advisory board of the pro-BDS DPG, and has defended the “resistance” of the terrorist entities Hamas and Hezbollah against the Jewish state.Wagenknecht’s refusal to participate in the standing ovation for Peres was praised by Germany’s NPD neo-Nazi party.Left Party politician Heike Hänsel also signed the letter. In 2014, the Simon Wiesenthal Center human rights organization included Hänsel on its top ten list of worst outbreaks of antisemitism and anti-Israeli activity. Hänsel invited BDS speakers to deliver a talk in the Bundestag.
Germany: Once again a refugee stabbed a woman to death
In a refugee shelter in the Hamburg district of Langenhorn, a 27-year-old man is said to have stabbed a 25-year-old woman on Monday evening. The refugee shelter is located in a wooded area near the street Jugendparkweg. In a ground floor apartment, the man is said to have stabbed first his former spouse and then himself. After the attack, the accused had apparently run out of the house wounded and then returned. The blood stains along the footpath to the woods are evidence of this.The ambulance services were called around 10 pm. Paramedics had to resuscitate the man and woman in the ambulance. Both were taken to a hospital. In the hospital the 25-year-old woman died of her severe injuries.The police had sent 23 patrol cars to the housing estate. At dusk the officers set up a mobile searchlight pole. In the floodlight, forensic experts climbed through the open window of the apartment. There the officers discovered a knife, the suspected murder weapon. Some residents watched the operation, standing at the windows or on the football field in front of the accommodation. The homicide squad took over the investigation.
Yet another German legal scandal: Muslims receive ridiculously lenient suspended sentences after they inflicted life-threatening injuries to a parish worker with a knife
A lenient sentence for the Syrian Mohamad K. (54 years old), his son Alaa K. (17 years old) and the Lebanese Ayman Z. (22 years old)!They had struck a Syrian couple in the church office on Christmas Eve when receiving gifts. When the volunteer Mike Weller (51 years old) intervened, the 17 year old rammed a knife into his lungs – the victim had to undergo emergency surgery.
Yesterday, Wednesday, the verdict: The knife-stabber was sentenced to one year on probation for assault, his father six months in prison – already compensated by the detention. The Lebanese was acquitted.
The court’s statement reads: “As a result of the hearing of evidence, the chamber was unable to establish intent to kill in the case of the juvenile defendant. It could not be established that the father of the juvenile defendant knew that his son had carried a knife.
Father and son have apologized to Mike Weller. He has accepted this apology. It is a tradition in the parish of St. Nicolai: On Christmas Eve, people in need are invited, there is a meal, a present. Mike Weller remembers: “Clothes were distributed. Knitted items for children, items from the clothing store – actually, nothing to jump the queue for.”
A Syrian man, 53 years old, did it anyway. After a scuffle, the 53-year-old is thrown out. But he comes back with six cronies – including his 17-year-old son, who again instigates a row.
After the men had forced their way in, they are said to have beaten and entered two asylum seekers. When Mike Weller wants to intervene, the 17-year-old stabbed the parish worker, according to the public prosecutor’s office.
Weller remembers: “Suddenly I noticed that my T-shirt was all wet. I touched it: My hand was covered in blood.” An acquaintance found a first-aid kit, closed the wound with a gauze bandage. “I could hardly breathe,” says Weller. “But if he hadn’t done that, I wouldn’t be here today.”
The ambulance takes him to the hospital. Diagnosis: Lung and spleen are injured – danger to life! Shortly after midnight the emergency operation begins. The doctors can save his life.

Syrian asylum seeker stabs German homeless man to death
In the course of an argument, a 33-year-old homeless German man in a shelter for asylum seekers in the community of Meckenbeuren was so severely injured by several knife wounds yesterday early Wednesday morning around 00:30 a.m. that he died at the spot, despite the resuscitation measures initiated by the paramedics. A 26-year-old Syrian suspect initially fled. The police then initiated extensive search measures, which were supported by a police helicopter.The helicopter crew finally identified the suspected perpetrator together with an accompanying person in a bush on the bank of the river Schussen at around 3 a.m. Both were then temporarily detained by police forces. In order to clarify the exact course of the crime, the background of the previous dispute between the German and the Syrian and the possible involvement of others in the dispute, the Friedrichshafen criminal police directorate has set up an investigation team.

We have no alternative but to fight the intolerance of idiots
by Giulio Meotti
“Transgender women are women. Any statement to the contrary erases the identity and dignity of transgender people”.We only lacked the United Nations to join the crowd and take a stand against J.K. Rowling, the “Harry Potter” author accused of “transphobia” for a series of tweets and then an essay in which she claimed that sexual difference is real.
Four writers represented by Rowling’s literary agency, the Blair Partnership, have resigned after accusing the agency of refusing to issue “a public statement of support for transgender rights”. It comes after the attacks on Rowling by the actors made famous by “Harry Potter” – from Daniel Radcliffe to Emma Watson up to Rupert Grint – and the people at Warner and Universal, who came out against the writer.
A host of Hachette employees, the publishing house that will take care of publishing “The Ickabog”, the latest work by Rowling, put up a protest against the writer’s statements, claiming to be willing to abandon the project if they find it necessary.
Hachette employees are not new to this type of protest. A few months ago they clashed with the board of directors of the publishing house for the publication of Woody Allen’s memoirs and the project was eventually abandoned. The price for sacrificing Rowland was certainly too high, it is something like £ 795 million.
But what becomes of a much less famous but excellent writer who speaks out against gender theory? In the Wall Street Journal, Abigail Shrier told readers what is happening to her book, “Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters”, an essay against gender theory. Its publisher, Regnery, received a response from Amazon that it would not be authorized to post a paid ad for the book. Amazon’s stated reason for blocking the ad – a simple cover image – was this: “It contains elements that challenge sexual orientation.”
A few days before that, a chorus of economists and former Fed chiefs and the usual digital herd on Twitter were all trying to destroy the director of one of America’s leading academic publications, Harald Uhlig of the University of Chicago, the best-known German economist in the United States, after he dared to criticize Black Lives Matter. The posts sparked a quick backlash, including criticism from several colleagues in Chicago and a petition calling on him to step down as editor of the Journal of Political Economy, one of the five industry magazines in America, which has now put him on leave. Then, as often happens in these lynchings, other journalists, like gravediggers, started doing digital archeology in the old Uhlig posts.
Former Federal Reserve Chairman Janet L. Yellen also campaigned against Uhlig. Speaking to Die Welt, Uhlig said: “The professors of economics should take a position from their ivory tower on specific topics [only].” The New York Times reported that she said in an email on Wednesday that “the tweets and blog posts by Harald Uhlig are extremely troubling” and that “it would be appropriate for the University of Chicago, which is the publisher of the Journal of Political Economy, to review Uhlig’s performance and suitability to continue as editor.”
Uhlig said he received many emails from colleagues who expressed solidarity with him, but who don’t dare to do so publicly. Some even wrote to him under a pseudonym. It is easy to understand why nowadays.
The Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago said it had broken off relations with Uhlig. Paul Krugman of the New York Times also took position against Uhlig: “Another privileged white man who evidently can’t control his urge to belittle the concerns of those less fortunate”.
These are the type of idiotic and empty statements that media love.
Journalist Andrew Sullivan, who has just had a column in the New York Magazine on vandalismcensored following the killing of George Floyd, tweeted in defense of Uhlig.
Another economist, John Cochrane, formerly his colleague in Chicago and today at Stanford, has also joined Uhlig: “Why do I write? Sure, I’m just as afraid of the Red Guards of our twitter mob as the rest of you, and reluctant to offer contrary opinions. The Krugmans, Wolfers, and other assorted Jacobins are waiting for me to write or tweet one sentence that can be taken out of context and demand my head. I doubt the upper levels of administration at Stanford have any more spine in defense of conservative and libertarian speech than do those of Chicago. But we must speak for free speech before it’s too late”.
Judging by the amount of heads that are rolling in the “diversity” guillotine basket, perhaps it is already too late. Today it is the gender craze, tomorrow will be imaginary racism, everyday these failed censors find someone to burn at the stake to consolidate their power, careers and ideology. These idiots have taken over media, universities and publishing houses. We have no alternative but to fight them.
