He brutally beat up two complete strangers in Düsseldorf’s old town because they did not give him a cigarette: Now the district court sentenced Jamal M. (27) to 16 months in prison.
2.20 a.m., Grabbeplatz square: The women (22 and 21 years old) were on their way home when the perpetrator started begging them.
First he insulted her as a “whore cunt”. Then he pulled out a tuft of hair from the 21-year-old, punched and kicked her hard in the head and stomach when she was already lying on the ground.
When her girlfriend tried to calm him down, he pushed her down a flight of stairs and kicked her so hard that she could not walk for three days. Both women had to go to hospital.
Jamal M. apologised during the trial. He paid each woman 600 euros in compensation for pain and suffering. The defence lawyer pleaded for probation.
The public prosecutor, on the other hand, demanded two years in prison: “The accused has five previous convictions for assault. He treated the women like a punching bag.”
At the Linz jihadist trial, in which three men are in the dock for the crime of anti-state association, the professor of Islamic religious education at the University of Vienna, Ednan Aslan, came to speak as an expert witness on Wednesday.
He examined a total of four of numerous sermons on Friday prayers at the Linz association. He analysed them according to whether they represented a recruitment of fighters for the Jihad in Syria, supported the “Islamic State” and were directed against the Republic of Austria.
His interpretation of the content of the sermons, which was based on the Koran: The law of God was to be enforced. All those who opposed it were enemies and were to be fought against. Anger was also a characteristic of God. It is wrong to present Islam as a religion of peace. It is an aggressive religion. Military action should be taken against its enemies and fear and terror should be spread among them.
The enemies would only hope for weaknesses in the Muslims. They themselves are responsible if they do not live the true faith. According to the expert report, the accused also condemned those leaders who were traitors and deceivers and who, for example, allowed the unveiling of women. He had addressed an urgent warning to Muslim audiences against affection for non-believers, even if they showed goodwill, as well as against Christians and Jews. Westernisation had corrupted these people through alcohol, homosexuality, sexual relations with animals and women allowed to do jobs. An explicit distancing from democracy and the secular constitutional state in Austria had not been expressed, but could be deduced. A clear direct recruitment to participate in the Jihad or a concrete call to terror could not be inferred from the lectures.
A film clip from South Africa shows how a former task force member heroically fights his way through an armed robbery on a motorway in the South African capital Pretoria. Despite the fact that the vehicle is hit by bullets a large number of times, the man, Leo Prinsloo, 48, does not lose his cool but rams the robbers’ cars several times before he, armed with a semi-automatic rifle, chases them on foot.
A South African security officer was driving a cash-in-transit vehicle when he and his colleague were attacked by armed robbers who hit their vehicle with about thirty bullets in an attempt to kill them and steal their cargo. But the man who was driving, the former task force Leo Prinsloo, 48, acted with unparalleled calm when hit and rammed by attackers before he gets out of the vehicle, armed with a semi-automatic rifle and chases them. The whole event, which could have been part of a film script, was also captured on film and shows the man’s heroism.
The incident took place at 10:25 in the morning on 22 April along the N4 motorway in the South African capital Pretoria. Leo Prinsloo then drove with a colleague, the newly hired Lloyd Mtombeni, in an armoured and bulletproof Toyota Land Cruiser. The vehicle was used as unmarked transport when attacked by two cars full of armed robbers while reportedly transporting a multi-million rand cache of smartphones.

Several bullets slammed into the vehicle and from the inside, the incident was captured by a dashcam as one of the robbers’ cars drove closer during continued firing, which was fortunately stopped by bulletproof glass. Despite the sudden firing, Prinsloo remains surprisingly calm and commands his colleague to cock his semi-automatic rifle while he drives on and tries to escape from the robbers. From the other side of the road, the other car with robbers comes up and opens fire on them and tries to push them off the road, but Prinsloo does not let them succeed but instead slams into the robbers and drives on. After several minutes, Prinsloo however stops the car, grabs a weapon and gets out to meet his attackers.
The choice to go out to meet the robbers may seem foolhardy, but Prinsloo is a trained sniper with long experience of fighting in urban environments. He was a member of the infamous South African Police Special Task Force (STF) for 12 years until 2004, which handles everything from hostage situations to terrorist groups. He then founded a training academy that specializes in teaching advanced shooting and combat tactics to both police and military. He also works part-time as a security guard at a private security company in the violent South Africa, where men with the knowledge and experience Prinsloo has accumulated are highly valued.

Leo Prinsloo himself did not have much to say about the incident: “I can not say much because it is an ongoing investigation but me and my guard colleague did what was expected of us. They needed to kill us in order to hijack the transport. But there was no chance that I would let it happen and unfortunately I did not get the opportunity to answer the firing,” said Prinsloo.
In an interview with local outlet ENCA he said he “pre-visualized what to do” in a situation like this, because he had always expected it to happen. According to Prinsloo, he only became aware that the robbers were chasing them when the first gunshots went off. Thereafter, his instincts – and training – simply kicked in, he said.
Pictures from the place where he stopped to meet the attackers show that it happened in a residential area and it is therefore likely that he chose restraint so as not to risk that innocent bystanders could be injured, something that trained men are forced to take into account even under dangerous conditions like this.
“No arrests have been made yet,” said police spokesman Vish Naidoo in a statement from the South African police about the incident, according to ENCA.
Prinsloo and his family have since been placed under protective guard after they received death threats. His employer, Deon Coetzee of Fortis Pro-active Defence Solutions, told News24: “Because of whoever is behind the organised crime, [Prinsloo] has received death threats on his life, so we are just taking it seriously.”
Chahinez, 31, mother of three, mother of three was burned alive by her husband, who chased her down the street and shot her in the legs before dousing her in a flammable liquid and setting her alight, police said Wednesday.
The grisly attack took place in broad daylight Tuesday in the well-heeled Merignac neighbourhood, near Bordeaux airport, in the southwest.
The woman and the 44-year-old man were separated. Their children aged three, seven and 11 lived with their mother.
The man fired several shots at the woman as she fled down a street, hitting her in the legs. After she collapsed, he set her alight, police said.
He was arrested half an hour after the murder in the neighbouring district of Pessac, armed with a pistol, a pellet gun and a cartridge belt, the Bordeaux prosecutor’s office said.
He is suspected both of his wife’s murder and of having started fire that damaged her home.
Local authorities have set up a counselling service for witnesses to the killing.
The couple’s children were not at home at the time of the attack, the prosecutor’s office said, adding that they were receiving trauma counselling.
Chahinez did not have a serious danger telephone (TGD) and her husband had not been assigned an anti-reconciliation bracelet, “Not effective” at the time. “You could tell she was getting beaten up. But she was very discreet, she told our mothers that it was complicated ”, explains Chahima, 19, who opened a chat via Instagram (TousavecChahinez) “So that she can be buried in Algeria with her family”.
That year saw 146 women reported killed by a spouse or partner, a 21-percent increase on the previous year.
The question is not whether a civil war will break out in France, but when, Constitutional lawyer Grégor Puppinck, the head of the French European Center of Law and Justice (ECLJ), told Magyar Hírlap in an interview, warning that tensions between parallel societies in the country are growing.
During the interview, Puppnick, an influential legal scholar in France, was asked about the hotly debated open letter signed by French generals and thousands of soldiers and officers that warned French President Emmanuel Macron’s government of an impending civil war.
Puppinck said the situation was every bit as serious as the generals assessed it.
“It’s not a question of whether a civil war will happen, it’s when,” he said.
“We see increasing violence and tension in almost every big city. Two societies live in one country and much of the Muslim community does not want to integrate at all. The general opinion is that the longer the government waits to restore order, the harder it will be — if only because of demographic trends,” Puppinck said.
In its latest report, the ECLJ also wrote about attacks on and persecution of Muslims in France who have converted to the Christian faith. Puppinck said the results of their study shocked the authors themselves.
“This issue has not been addressed in depth yet, and we ourselves were shocked by what we faced. We knew that converts to Christianity were being persecuted by Muslims in Arab countries, but we had no idea that the situation was so serious in the Muslim communities of France. This is shocking,” he said. “The Christian Church in France needs to better support and accept converts into the community, this is the first and most important step in their protection. And we call on the government to protect the right to convert to another religion through the law.”
Magyar Hírlap also asked Puppinck of a recent occurrence in France where a woman in a headscarf told President Emmanuel Macron on a visit that her little son had asked her if the name Pierre existed at all because he only met a person with such a name in the books. In response, Puppinck said segregation is a real and imminent danger in itself.
“Conflict is also inevitable because there are already a lot of places where a French girl can’t go alone and many where a man isn’t advised to go. It’s not just the decision of the French, every community wants to live among its own, they strive for that,” he said.

Livestock theft presumably in the name of the religion of peace, which is an integral part of Germany? More and more often, German shepherds complain about the theft of sheep and grazing lambs, mostly at night and from the flock – and it is certainly no coincidence that just now, as the fasting month of Ramadan is drawing to a close and preparations are already being made in the Muslim community everywhere for the feast of Eid al-Fitr, the Muslim Eid, such cases are again becoming more frequent…
Fortunately, most believers get their halal meat legally, as imported goods. But more and more representatives of the younger generation – in line with their self-image as the new masters of Europe – prefer to help themselves directly from the ” farmer”. This is currently the case again in the Eifel village of Ginnick near Vettweiß in the district of Düren (North Rhine-Westphalia) with a shepherd who oversees around 800 animals: Because the shepherd had been affected by lamb thefts (a total of 10 animals) in the past two years – both at Ramadan – he had his stables equipped with automatic night-vision cameras and had them monitored – and on the night of May Day they promptly recorded three young migrants of Turkish or Arabic origin, each brazenly and unabashedly carrying a young lamb out of the stable.
The young animals were apparently snatched from their ewes, because when the shepherd arrived at the barn, the flock was in a panic, as the newspaper “Bild” reports. The desperate bleating of the defenceless animals can also be heard on the video recording. Together with the police, the affected shepherd is now searching for the perpetrators; the following pictures have been released to the public in the hope that the brazen animal thieves will be identified (any police station will accept hints):

However, the injured party has no illusions that he will ever see his stolen animals again: “The poor sheep have surely already been slaughtered somewhere,” “Bild” quotes the man. This is precisely the real problem here: the theft itself, with a property damage of just 550 euros, is far less serious and alarming than the increasing disregard for animal rights in the name of a medieval religion that is spreading at an ever more breathtaking pace across the Western cultural area and developing increasing dominance (admittedly without it being permissible let alone desirable to call this development what it objectively is: Islamisation).
Because the “procurement” of the festival roasts at the end of the fasting month was done illegally in this case anyway, there is virtually no doubt that the slaughter of the lambs will take place according to the barbaric Islamic slaughtering commandments (bleeding alive). The photos taken by the camera are therefore likely to be the last to show the animals alive.
The Federal Ministry of the Interior has banned the Salafist association Ansaar International and nine of its offshoots. Among them are organisations from Hesse, and a former professional football player is again under scrutiny.
On Wednesday, the Federal Ministry of the Interior banned the Salafist association Ansaar International and its nine offshoots. Among them is the Somali Committee for Information and Counselling based in Büttelborn (Groß-Gerau district).
The associations allegedly collected humanitarian donations and used them to support Islamist terrorist organisations in the Middle East and Africa. They include the Al-Nusra Front in Syria, which now operates under a different name, as well as Hamas in the Gaza Strip and Al-Shabaab in Somalia.
According to the Federal Ministry of the Interior, there had been direct money flows in some cases, and in others projects had been financed in the surroundings of the organisations so that the terrorist organisations could recruit members. The donors are said to have been unaware of this. According to the Ministry of the Interior, Ansaar also missionised children from Germany and sent them to institutions abroad “in order to internalise Salafist extremist content there and spread it in Germany”.
Ansaar already made the headlines in 2017, when the public broadcaster Hessischer Rundfunk reported that the former Eintracht Frankfurt and Darmstadt 98 player Änis Ben-Hatira supported the Salafist association. After much hesitation, his then club Darmstadt 98 gave in to pressure from the public and politics and parted ways with the footballer.
Ben-Hatira then established a foundation in Berlin that also cooperates with Ansaar. This was also banned on Wednesday. Its money was confiscated and made available for charitable purposes – excluding terror financing.
Hesse’s Interior Minister Peter Beuth ( Christian Democratic Union, CDU) called the ban of Ansaar International a “strong message of the rule of law against Islamist terrorist structures”. Hesse had warned of the activities of the Salafist group at an early stage. German football and the state of Hesse had “rightly shown Ben-Hatira the red card”, Beuth said on Wednesday.
Investigators had already seized extensive evidence in a major raid on the network in April 2019. Ansaar has its headquarters in Düsseldorf. Half of the 90 properties searched at the time were in North Rhine-Westphalia.
