A mother of three children in Sunderland, Britain was drugged and raped by a gang of migrants on September 4, sparking violent demonstrations.

The 26 year old woman awoke in a strange house with cuts and bruises having been sexually assaulted, realizing her drink had been spiked the night before.  She managed to leave the house and get to a family member’s house at around 5am on Sunday morning.

The article reported that the police arrested six “Asian” men aged between 20 and 30, from Iraq, Syria, and Bahrain for the attack.  (The European media often refers to people of Middle Eastern decent as “Asian.”)  The men are out on bail until October 17.

The article also mentioned that “far-right” activists organized a protest for six days in the city after the attack where windows at the house where the attack took place were smashed, and the protesters clashed with counter protesters “led by the Asian community.”  Two “Asian” men were injured and five protesters were arrested for public fighting.

Following is information summarized from this Washington Post article:

Students at a Maryland high school have adopted a “gender-neutral” homecoming court, meaning it could potentially include two boys, two girls, transgender students, or a boy-girl duo.  Students in each grade will vote for two classmates from a ballot of finalists with the top vote-getters crowned during the school’s homecoming football game, regardless of gender.

Jacob Rains, president of the schoolwide Student Government Association said, “It provides an opportunity for all students to be involved in something that was exclusionary… It is really not our job, especially with a gender-neutral and transgender population at B-CC, to tell people that boys have to be kings and girls have to be queens.  Who are we to put people into those categories?”

Following is a summary of this DW article:

Trail has started for a Syrian migrant in Germany who threw his three children out of a first story window during an argument with his wife, seriously injuring them.  In the argument he was apparently frustrated with his wife for her “refusing to accept the roles she had back home,” leading to him grabbing their three children and throwing them out the window, causing them to suffer skull fractures, broken bones, and a liver contusion.  His children are aged 1, 5, and 7.

The unnamed 36 year old man is charged with three counts of attempted murder and grievous bodily harm.  When he entered the courtroom he had his T-shirt pulled over his head to hide his face, and he kneeled on the floor handcuffed.

Also, in January the man beat his wife with a saucepan, leading to him being arrested and given an order not to enter the premises for ten days, but his wife gave in and let him return after a few days.

Following is a summary of this Breitbart article:

The German government has released new statistics showing that radical Salafist Muslim preachers are increasingly attempting to recruit underage migrants, and the German Federal Police has announced that the number of migrants that are suspected of terrorist links or radicalization has also increased.

Statistics from the German Interior Ministry show that at least 340 cases have been recorded of Salafist preachers recruiting underage migrants since October of last year, with over half of those cases occurring in or around asylum centers.  The Salafist groups don’t show up at the centers openly preaching, but rather they use giving aid as a front for their activities, such as by distributing food and religious items like prayer mats and Qurans, and they also give cash to the migrants.

The German Federal Police (BKA) chief Holger Münch has spoken to the media saying that at the moment they count 523 investigations of migrants suspected of terrorist links, up from 501 in June.  He assured the public that his police had already arrested 80 Muslims linked to ISIS and other terror groups, and the remaining suspects are under observation with the police having a “coordinated action plan” to deal with the threat.

Also, the chief of the Frankfurt police Wolfgang Trusheim said earlier this month that children raised by Salafist preachers or Salafist parents were a long term danger to German security.

Following is a summary of this DailyMail article: 

The day after he killed five people at a shopping mall in Burlington, Washington, Arian Cetin, 20, was arrested near his home on Saturday night.  He is being charged with five counts of murder.

Cetin took three guns from his father before heading to Macy’s, where his ex-girlfriend once worked, but she quit several months ago and was not at the mall at the time of the shooting.  He opened fire for about one minute, then set the rifle down on the counter and walked away.

Authorities report he was apprehended 30 miles from the scene of the crime in a “zombie-like state” on Saturday evening.  Police lieutenant Mike Hawley responded to tips from the community and spotted Cetin, who he immediately recognized.  “I literally hit my brakes, did a quick turn, I jumped out,” Hawley said. “He just froze.”

Cetin, who immigrated to the US from Turkey, is a legal permanent resident.  He has been arrested once before in the county for assault, and the Seattle times reports that Cetin’s criminal record includes three domestic violence charges.

Classmates who knew Cetin at Oak Harbor High School said he was known for harassing girls in middle school and high school.

— Sarai Lara, 16, was a cancer survivor who battled the disease as a young child.  Her mother, Evangelina, was shopping with her and they split up to go into different stores.  Evangelina desperately tried to get to her daughter but was blocked from entering the store, and seven hours later it was confirmed that Sarai, who had just applied for a job at Denny’s to support her family, was one of the victims.

— Belinda Galde, 64, and her 95-year-old mother Beatrice Dotson were both killed in the cosmetics section.  Galde was an employee with the Snohomish Country District Court since 1989.  A statement issued by the court said she was an “amazingly kind and caring individual” who helped thousands of probationers find a better way to live.

— Chuck Eagan, a father with two daughters, had been at the mall with his wife when the shots rang out.  He and his wife began to run but she fell down, and he was shot when he stopped to try to help her.  He was a Boeing employee who was about to retire.

— Shayla Martin, 52, was working behind the makeup counter at the Macy’s cosmetics department when she was killed.  Her sister said “She was so sweet.  She was just very independent.  She wanted to make her own way.  She didn’t want to rely on anyone else.”

Following is from the video on this DailyMail article: 

The Dalai Lama has been interviewed by Piers Morgan on British television, saying that migrants should plan on returning to their rebuild their own countries.

Morgan:  “You’re a migrant—  a refugee.  There are now millions of people, mainly from Syria having to be displaced across Europe.  What do you think the answer is to this crisis?”

Dalai Lama:  “The main effort should go to help (their) own country bring peace, in Syria, Libya or even Afghanistan.  Generally the people always feel, ‘oh, one day we return’.”

Morgan:  “Ultimately all refugees should aspire to go back to their homeland?”

Dalai Lama:  “Yes.  (They) should rebuild their own country.”

The Dalai Lama has expressed similar sentiments in May of this year, warning that “Germany cannot become an Arab country.”  The following is a summary of this Breitbart article: 

In May of 2016 it was reported in Agence France-Presse that the Dalai Lama had stated that there are too many migrants pouring into Europe, warning against Europe becoming an Arab region and saying the solution is for the immigrants to be repatriated in order to help rebuild their own countries.

The Dalai Llama’s comments are similar to those made by Europe’s anti-Islamisation PEGIDA movement, France’s Front National, Germany’s Alternative Fur Deutschland, and to a degree Britain’s UK Independence Party, but those groups are often accused as being “racist” or “xenophobic” for having those views.

The Dalai Lama was recently named at the world’s most popular leader, with over three-quarters of adults (78%) having a good opinion of him.

Following are statements the Dalai Lama had made:

“When we look at the face of each refugee, but especially those of the children and women, we feel their suffering, and a human being who has a better situation in life has the responsibility to help them…  But on the other hand, there are too many at the moment…  Europe, Germany in particular, cannot become an Arab country, Germany is Germany.”

“There are so many that in practice it becomes difficult.”

“[F]rom a moral point of view too, I think that the refugees should only be admitted temporarily.”

“The goal should be that they return and help rebuild their countries.”

“‘Taking in a few thousand refugees is wonderful but in the meantime you have to think about a long term solution too – through development and education in these Muslim countries.”

Last night a man walked up to a makeup counter at a Macy’s store in a Washington state mall carrying a hunting rifle, then he proceeded to shoot and kill four women and a man ranging in age from teenagers to seniors after reportedly shouting a “woman’s name” several times.

Authorities describe the man as “Hispanic” in his late teens to mid twenties.  Surveillance video showed that he entered the building without a gun.  He was last seen walking toward Interstate 5 which is a few hundred feet from the Macy’s exit.

The above video report closes with the reporter saying “This is a local investigation right now.  The FBI is involved but they did say at the news conference that there is nothing that points to a terrorism act at this point.”

As many as 2,000 teenagers have been radicalized by the Islamic State in France, reports a security source in the French Le Figaro newspaper, also saying that the number of girls embracing the Jihadist ideology is increasing.

Following are points made in this Russia Today article: 

— The security forces said they have identified 1,954 young men and women as ISIS terrorist organization sympathizers since the start of this year.

— Levels of radicalization among teens in the country have increased by 121 percent compared to January 2015.

— Seventeen French youths have been killed fighting for ISIS in Syria and Iraq.

— 37 teens have recently been indicted in France on terrorism and extremism charges.

— An increasing number of teenage girls are sympathizing with the ISIS terrorists.

— The source said the jihadists prey on youths with physiological problems who are going through tough times for reasons such as their parents getting divorced.  They use special recruiting techniques to make the young men and woman easy targets for the radicals.

— French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said that the terrorist threat in the country is higher than ever before, and he said that 300 people have been arrested in France for links to terrorist activity since the beginning of the year.

— France has been on high alert since the Charlie Hebdo tourist attack in January 2015 where 12 people were killed, and the Paris attack in November of that year where 130 people were killed by ISIS terrorists.

— Other notable recent attacks in France include the terrorist truck attack in Nice, France on July 14 which killed 84 people, and the two Islamic radicals beheading a Catholic priest later in July in Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray.

Surveillance video from inside the home of a Gwinnett County, Georgia woman shows her rushing toward three home invaders while shooting at them.

The footage shows three men breaking into her house brandishing handguns, and then rushing out the door as she chases them while shooting her gun.  Two of the men escaped and the third died from being shot.  It is not clear if the other men had been shot.
