Sign of the Times: UK College Cancels Annual Dinner for Christian Saint, Will Celebrate End of Ramadan Instead - "There are around four million Muslims in Britain, and with that rapidly growing population come societal changes. Oxford’s Magdalen College has in the past celebrated St. George’s Day on April 23 with a ceremonial dinner; this year, however, St. George’s Day plans have been deep-sixed, and Magdalen will instead host a formal dinner to mark the end of Ramadan. In Britain’s celebration of diversity, there is room for only the one observance, not both... As far back as 2006, the UK’s Daily Mail reported that “the Church of England is considering rejecting England’s patron saint St George on the grounds that his image is too warlike and may offend Muslims.” St. George didn’t end up getting deep-sixed altogether, but he was severely deemphasized, and not just by the Church of England. In May 2013, the Telegraph noted that in the town of Radstock, Somerset, “a local council decided against flying the flag of St George after concerns were raised that it would offend the town’s 16 Muslim residents.” In April 2016, according to the Express, the Bristol City Council “refused to host St George’s Day celebrations because the area is ‘too multicultural.’” Stories of this kind are all too easy to find. According to Breitbart, on April 23, 2020, Britain’s Secretary of State for the Department of Health and Social Care, Matt Hancock, “thanked Muslims for their Ramadan ‘sacrifice’ on St George’s Day, but made no mention of the English national day itself.” Hancock added: “I want to say to all British Muslims, thank you for staying at home. I know how important the daily Iftar is, how important communal prayer is at night, and how important the Eid festival is.” Nothing about how important St. George’s Day was, because it wasn’t. Leftists, meanwhile, have been busy crowing that St. George wasn’t really English at all. Breitbart reported in April 2022 that “Leftists in Britain celebrated St George’s Day on Saturday with their annual issuing of false claims that the Roman soldier of Cappadocian Greek ethnicity was, variously, ‘Turkish’, ‘Arab’, and ‘a migrant worker’ in an effort to ‘own’ English patriots.” Magdalen College found an even better way to “own” English patriots this year. GB News stated that “the Oxford college will hold a formal dinner for Eid on April 23 – despite the annual festival actually taking place two days earlier.” Eid al-Fitr marks the end of the monthlong Ramadan cycle of fasting all day and gorging all night. It’s a peculiar insult to those who value England’s heritage that St. George is being ignored on his own feast day, and Eid al-Fitr celebrated on that day instead, despite actually falling this year on April 21. What’s more, “in the four years prior to the pandemic a St George’s Day feast was held, according to the Telegraph.” Magdalen College officials deny that these St. George’s Day dinners ever took place. A Magdalen spokesman insisted: “There is no College tradition of a formal dinner for St George’s Day.” This may, however, have been bending the truth more than a little. The Telegraph “cited proof of such events, including a formal invite in 2018 from the then college vice-president for lecturers to ‘celebrate St George’s Day’ with ‘a formal hall and high table at 7.30pm with a special English menu.’” The invitation said that along with the “English menu,” which given the state of English cuisine was unlikely to arouse much enthusiasm, there would be “Grace and English Music by the Clerks followed by an oration.”"
Canadian school sparks controversy over ‘no food’ zones to serve Muslim students fasting for Ramadan - "A school in Canada designated its cafeteria as a “no food space” to support fasting Muslim students during Ramadan — sparking a firestorm online as critics questioned the decree’s fairness. The Fairview School in Calgary, Alberta shot into the spotlight after reports emerged of the controversial policy that created food-free zones during select hours to accommodate students during the holy month. The cafeteria was labeled a “no food space” during the first half of the lunch hour for fourth through sixth graders. It remains a “no food space” for the older students’ entire lunch hour... On rainy days, the school’s learning commons operates as the set no food space for all students, the email said... The mandate will last through March 19, the last day of Ramadan. Critics skewered the school in social media comments, accusing it of making non-Muslim students “hide” during mealtimes... It’s not immediately clear if the Fairview School is offering other religious accommodations, like meatless Fridays for Catholics celebrating Lent."
Thread by @the_americangrl on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App - "I seriously have had enough. My neighbor is a substitute teacher. She worked at a school this week that was not allowing snack time for any child, and no child could have his or her water at their desk, because some Muslim students were doing Ramadan. In Phoenix. For those asking for the school name, I don’t have it. I didn’t ask my neighbor which dumpy little charter school she was subbing at, & I’m not going to. I won’t be responsible for a bunch of online maniacs harassing this school. It’s up to the parents to make a difference there. Literally don’t care if you call me racist. I don’t think non Muslim American students should be asked to observe Muslim customs in school. This is a reasonable belief."
Time to ban optional school prayer as a violation of the separation of Church and State
Thread by @Humanlty1o1 on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App - "My son's class had a party on the last day before March break. Unfortunately, one child in the class was taking part in Ramadan and as a result, the entire class was explicitly told no snacks at all. This is not mutual tolerance, this is suicidal empathy. I don't get in the way of how people practice religion. & I highly doubt the 1 child celebrating even demanded or asked for it. But when tolerance becomes asymmetrical, driven by forced accommodation & ideological activism, it's not tolerance, it's coercion by activist teachers."
António Guterres on X - "Muslims worldwide often face institutional discrimination, socio-economic exclusion, biased immigration policies & unwarranted surveillance & profiling. This International Day to Combat Islamophobia, let’s re-commit to the equality, human rights & dignity of every person, no matter their faith."
Hussain Abdul-Hussain on X - "When a Muslim fasts during Ramadan, no one dares to eat or drink in their presence. No group demands accommodation in public spaces as a minority while refusing to grant it as a majority more than Muslim communities. The societies where diversity has been disappearing over the past 200 years have all been Muslim-majority ones. Spare us the pandering. There is no such thing as Islamophobia; it is a term invented by political Islam to shield itself from criticism and calls for modernization and change. Muslim intellectuals should step up and refuse Western censorship that kills desperately required Muslim reforms from within."
Daniel Concannon on X - "Another day, another spectacularly horrific Black-on-White murder that no one hears about, that would be the number one story in the world if it were White-on-anyone-else. On February 13, Black 21-year-old Alexander Lamar Banks was driving around, admittedly looking for people to kill, when he spotted a White mom and dad, out for an evening walk, pulling their 3-year-old daughter in a pink wagon in Delta Township, Michigan (77% White, 11% Black). That's when Banks targeted them, accelerating his car in their direction, driving off the road, and smashing through the White family. Banks then exited the vehicle, retrieved a shotgun, and fired multiple rounds, hitting all three family members and killing 3-year-old Harlow Smith. He reloaded the weapon before approaching Harlow's dad and shooting him again at close range. Banks punched the White father in the face and beat him with the shotgun. He then grabbed the White mother by the hair, twisting her head and trying to break her neck when she attempted to intervene. A 72-year-old White woman named Barb Cook saw what was happening and ran toward the murder scene to try to help the family. With his gun empty, Banks smashed 72-year-old Barb repeatedly in the head with it. He hit her with such force that her hair and flesh were later recovered from the muzzle. After beating Barb, Banks dropped the gun and fled. 37-year-old dad Cameron Smith, 33-year-old mom Paige Smith, and 72-year-old Barb Cook all survived the encounter that claimed young Harlow's life. Barb Cook required brain surgery and facial reconstruction, and went into a coma (as of the most recent update, she remains in that coma). Now, we wait to see how easy the system goes on Alexander Lamar Banks when it's inevitably determined that he was “not in the right state of mind” and has the IQ of speed bump. To recap, a Black psychopath quite literally hunted a White family, in public, in the light of day, running them down with his vehicle before shooting them repeatedly and savagely beating them in someone's front yard, killing a 3-year-old, then bludgeoning an unrelated 72-year-old grandma into a coma, and virtually no one knows, or will ever know, that any of this happened. But everyone on Earth knows that a White girl said a magic word on a Minnesota playground last year."
Chad O. Jackson on X - "As often as I can, when meeting an educator I ask why it’s important to teach about the holocaust. The answer is almost always “to shed light on the evil of fascism & antisemitism.” With numbers like this, we should teach about the gulags and sharia law with the EXACT same energy."

More harassment of Jewish owned business : r/SeattleWA - "This business has been harassed constantly because the owner was born in Israel. Attached is a link to the history of this harassment along with the ringleader bragging openly about it. This person is an immigrant themselves and employed at a taxpayer subsidized non-profit in Seattle.

I contacted the city council and mayor when this first happened and nobody responded. But the minute there was similar rhetoric and actions towards Somalian owned businesses it was condemned by everybody all the way up to the governor, lawmakers got involved, and even the Port of Seattle website condemned it."
‘I have never seen anything like it’: MP warns of rise in extreme views on race and identity : r/uknews - "In the last 5 years, more people came to this island than in the 1,000 years before 1997. The real extremism was forcing an unprecedented 3 decades of mass immigration onto us, without any democratic mandate, to the point where native Brits are on track to no longer be a majority in Britain within my lifetime. My dad was born into a 99% white country. This sort of change has never ever happened before. Even The Guardian once noted:
It would be the first time in history that a major indigenous population has voluntarily become a minority, rather than through war, famine or disease.
Shabana Mahmood, our Pakistani-heritage Home Secretary, was on Sky News the other day saying that she doesn't recognise the English as an ethnic group. Persecuting and demonising anyone who notices and takes issue with what's happening in this country as "extreme" is just going to wind people up even more."
BRITAIN IS BROKEN 🇬🇧 on X - "🚨BREAKING Essex police have TURNED OFF their live facial recognition cameras as they were catching too many black people 🇬🇧 They have also admitted that it was EXTREMELY rare the cameras would pick somebody up who WASN’T on the watchlist. They put up cameras to catch bad people, the cameras caught the bad people who happened to be predominantly black so they turned the cameras off 😑"
Essex Police tweaks 'biased' facial recognition software - "A police force has paused the use of live facial recognition (LFR) cameras after a study found it was statistically more likely to identify black people than other ethnic groups. Essex Police has used the technology since summer 2024, but the study identified "a potential bias in the positive identification rate". The force said that following updates to its algorithm and software, it was confident that LFR cameras could be deployed again. But campaign group Big Brother Watch said the technology was "authoritarian, inaccurate and ineffective in equal measure"... officers intervened 123 times to speak to people and carried out 48 arrests – roughly one for every 27,000 faces scanned – and there was one confirmed mistaken intervention."
Weird. We're told that since algorithms are trained on white people they are inaccurate for black people, which is why they have identified black people in the past as gorillas, for example

I just had the weirdest encounter ever : r/toRANTo - "I just had the weirdest encounter ever. I just finished shopping at Dollarama and started walking towards my bicycle. A random person came up to me saying racist stuff. She said“This is why Filipinos are hungry and poor, telling me to go back to my own country, then proceeded to call me homeless”. This is unprovoked mind you. I did nothing besides walking towards my bicycle that I have chained up. Im not really hurt for what she said. I just found it hilarious that she knew I was Filipino. I get mistaken for Mexican most of the time. Im certain that this person is mentally ill, which is starting to become more common now. She was black too so I don't know what this friendly fire is for, we're both minorities."
Proof that black people are the victims of racism and Asians need to do better and watch their anti-blackness
Yelling ‘I hate white people’ and punching one isn’t a hate crime, Canadian judge rules - The Washington Post - "Tamara Crowchief may have yelled "I hate white people" as she carried out a violent assault on a white person, but that doesn't mean her attack was racially motivated, a Canadian judge has ruled... “The offender said, ‘I hate white people’ and threw a punch,” Van Harten told those gathered in the court during his ruling. “There is no evidence either way about what the offender meant or whether . . . she holds or promotes an ideology which would explain why this assault was aimed at this victim. I am not satisfied beyond a reasonable doubt that this offense was, even in part, motivated by racial bias.”... When authorities arrived and arrested Crowchief, she told them “the white man was out to get her”"
Hate messages show up on University of Manitoba campus - "A University of Manitoba student says hateful messages posted on campus and sent to at least one fax machine add an "element of fear" to being on school grounds. "I think it's sickening," said Charlene Hallett. "But, on the other side too, I want to roll my eyes and say, "You know what? No, you don't get to try to intimidate us this way.'" Sheets of paper with the phrase "It's okay to be white" were taped to walls around the U of M campus this week. Faxes with the same phrase were sent to offices around the campus, including the women's and gender studies program... The University of Manitoba is denouncing the posters, which the school president says are part of "a co-ordinated international effort by neo-Nazi and white supremacist groups." "The university unequivocally condemns this and any other racist actions," David Barnard wrote in a statement sent to media on Friday. "There is no tolerance for hate and discrimination, as I made clear yesterday in my remarks at the vigil in honour of the shooting victims in Pittsburgh: We share a sense of revulsion and need to act because of what we see happening around us. The treatment of refugees. The tone of anger and hatred in political discourse. The installation of corrupt regimes. A distressing number of hate crimes. Terrorist attacks." A university must be focused on a search for wisdom and scholarship, which is underpinned by a shared perspective that working together is the best way to achieve that, he said. "We must fight back against ignorance with knowledge. Against intolerance and racism with inclusiveness and acceptance. Against complacency with our words and our actions," he wrote... A sharing circle organized by students was held Friday morning to support the Indigenous population on campus, said Native studies department head Cary Miller... Turning a blind eye or tacitly condoning such actions has, historically, led to escalation and violence, she said, specifically referring to the Second World War... Sanderson said many students have said they feel unsafe due to the threatening nature of the messages."

Human Shield Politics - "If you pay attention to issues and argumentation tactics, you will notice a recurring tactic in modern political debate: the number one go-to tactic the left uses to advance an agenda is through wrapping it in the protection of sympathetic individuals or populations. They claim to be defending a principle, but in reality the people involved are being used as a kind of moral shield—one designed to insulate the underlying argument from criticism. You know the gambit - if you disagree with a Jazzy Crockett, you are a racist. If you think men who pretend to be women need mental health services, you are a transphobe - the the hottest take over the past week is that if you are for the Iran war or point out that Muslims sure seem to like killing, you are an Islamaphobe... These claims are not simply straw-man arguments, rather they represent a deliberate political strategy: by placing sympathetic individuals at the center of the debate, critics of the policy can be portrayed as attacking the people themselves. In that sense, the individuals involved function as political “human shields,” protecting the broader agenda from scrutiny. Democrats have a history of selecting underdogs based solely on race or identity. This tactic has a long pedigree. Throughout history, political actors have discovered that controversial policies become far easier to defend when they are wrapped in the moral authority of sympathetic people. Once that shield is in place, criticism of the policy can be reframed as cruelty toward the people supposedly being protected. What might otherwise be a straightforward policy disagreement suddenly becomes a moral accusation... Call it “human-shield politics.” And this is something I find reprehensible and the ultimate in dishonesty. The structure is fairly simple. First, identify a sympathetic group—immigrants, workers, children, the poor, victims of discrimination, or some other category that carries strong moral weight in public discourse. Second, attach a controversial policy objective to that group. Third, frame criticism of the policy as hostility toward the group itself. Once that framing takes hold, critics are forced to spend their time defending their character rather than debating the merits of the policy. History offers many examples of this pattern. During the Cold War, for example, the Soviet Union invested heavily in Western “peace movements” that opposed the deployment of NATO nuclear weapons in Europe. Organizations such as the World Peace Council framed their activism in humanitarian terms: preventing nuclear war and saving humanity from annihilation. Those were legitimate concerns shared by millions of ordinary citizens. Yet historians later noted that these movements tended to focus their criticism almost exclusively on Western nuclear policy while ignoring or minimizing Soviet nuclear expansion. The moral authority of peace activists provided a powerful shield that made critics appear reckless or indifferent to the survival of humanity. A different version of the same tactic appeared inside communist regimes themselves. In the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin, nearly every major policy was justified in the name of “the workers.” Because the Communist Party claimed to represent the working class, opposition to Party policy could easily be framed as opposition to workers themselves. Critics were not merely wrong; they were labeled “enemies of the people.” The workers, whose interests were supposedly being defended, became the rhetorical shield protecting the authority of the regime. American history provides examples as well. During the civil-rights era, segregationists frequently framed their position not as a defense of racial hierarchy but as a defense of constitutional federalism. Political figures such as George Wallace argued that federal civil-rights legislation violated the principle of states’ rights. Reprehensible, but even more so when Lyndon Johnson used very similar tactics with his Great Society programs. The Democrat Party has been playing black Americans for fools and pawns for over a half a century, making promises they never intended to fulfill in exchange for a reliable voting bloc. Sometimes the tactic appears in even more literal form. Militant organizations operating within civilian populations have long embedded military assets in densely populated areas in order to create political constraints on their adversaries. Hamas has placed military infrastructure among civilian neighborhoods throughout the Gaza Strip. The logic is brutally simple: any military response risks civilian casualties, and those casualties can then be used to generate international outrage. Civilians become a shield—both physically and politically. Across these examples the pattern is unmistakable. A sympathetic group is placed at the center of the debate, and the policy attached to that group becomes difficult to challenge without appearing morally suspect. The tactic works because most decent people instinctively recoil at the idea of harming the vulnerable. Political strategists understand this instinct and exploit it. The result is a form of moral blackmail that corrodes honest debate. Instead of asking whether a policy works, whether it is lawful, or whether it serves the public interest, the conversation becomes a test of compassion. Anyone who raises objections must first prove they are not cruel, bigoted, or indifferent to suffering. To truly have free debate in society requires the ability to evaluate policies on their merits—even when those policies are wrapped in emotionally powerful narratives. Compassion for individuals and clear thinking about public policy are not opposites; they must exist together. When sympathetic people are used as political shields, they are not truly being defended. They are being used. And a society that cannot recognize the difference will eventually discover that the loudest moral claims often conceal the most calculated, divisive, and damaging political agendas."
Dave Smith on X - "Islam is such a violent religion. Every time we murder a bunch of their children, they try to kill some of us. Disgusting."
Ashley Rindsberg on X - "This is the propaganda that has been circulating in the West since at least 9/11. The idea is that the West, particularly the US, lives in a state of geopolitical original sin. You could see this narrative emerge in the left’s messaging about 9/11, which immediately laid blame for the atrocity committed by radical Islamist jihadists on America’s foreign wars—with no thought given to the fact that the terrorists were Saudis, not some mythically benighted people who had suffered under conflict with the US. From there, the moral causation happened just as fast—at lightning speed—moving from “the US had it coming” to “the US is culpable” for 9/11. The grand 9/11 conspiracy theory—the 9/11 wasn’t just an indirect product of US geopolitical policy, or a moral culpability, but a literal project of the Bush administration— was contained in this very idea. It only took the slightest conspiratorial nudge, references to Tower 7, questions about steel structures, to bring the lie into full bloom. We now see this idea everywhere, from the far-left to the far-right. Tucker Carlson—not by coincidence—produced one of the most successful history-themed YouTube series on the basis of this very idea. The aim of all this is to demoralize the American public, sow dissent and division, weaken the country and strengthen our enemies. It is the handiwork of America’s global adversaries whose top objective in the psychological-informational war they’re waging is to get Americans to turn on their own government. It is also a weaponization of free speech, much as the mechanisms of democracies are frequently weaponized by autocracies. Infiltration of the democracy is a trivial affair, since the democracy is by nature open. (We see the same effect with mass migration.) The most important thing we can do here is call it out—show it for what it is, pull its mask off, despite its threats and protestations. The wolf is among us."

Wilfred Reilly on X - "You really, legitimately, seem not to understand basic things like the difference between the present and the past. Your argument is that white people/Caucasians can be racist, and Black people cannot, because all W currently have more institutional power than all B. Leaving aside how absurd this^ claim is at the individual level where humans operate, I pointed out that Black institutions like the NAACP, BLM-GNF, and Congressional Black Caucus in fact have far more power in 2026 than (say) the KKK - or even than most white peer groups. To rebut this, and to show that the Klan is more powerful, you cite the ancient race gladiator Furnifold Simmons. Simmons is a man who was born in 1854. He DIED in IIRC 1940. Do you genuinely not see the problem here? Also: how does "per capita" work?"
