Following is a summary of this Breitbart article:

The journalist and historian Michael Paulwitz has written an article following the Friday release of figures by Germany’s Federal Statistics office which show massive demographic changes on the horizon for Germany.  He predicts the changes will be the death of Germany’s welfare state, where “hard struggles” over resources will make native Germans “inevitably loose out.”

— Only 21 percent of the total German population currently has a migrant background, but 36% percent of German children under five currently have foreign roots.

— In the city of Berlin, people with a migration background comprise 30 percent of residents.  Germans are already a minority in its district center and many of the surrounding central districts.

— Paulwitz wrote in his article, “First in the cities, later throughout the country, ethnic Germans are to become a minority in their own city and in their own country.  Will Germany still be, in the coming years and decades, the land of the Germans when immigration of people from non-European cultures continues at a high level?  One does not need much imagination to imagine how profoundly the population picture will change within the next two decades.”

— People with foreign roots are twice as likely to be unemployed as ethnic Germans and are much more likely to be educated to only a lower secondary school level or have no education background at all.

— Current mostly ethnic German citizens of 45 to 65 years old will have retired and withdrawn from the workforce in twenty years, ceasing to pay taxes and making the social and redistributive state no longer sustainable.

— The data was collected in 2015 and it fails to include the more than 1.6 million immigrants who arrived in 2015 and the first half of 2016, or the huge number of illegal immigrants living in Germany.

— While Angela Merkel’s open door policy was a “dramatic escalation” of previous policies, even before that a quarter of people aged between 15 and 45 had foreign roots in 2014.

— Through “family reunification,” this number [1.6 million] is expected to at least double if not multiply.

— There is an “inexhaustible supply” of Arabs and Africans who want to move to Germany, which Paulwitz describes as “demanding” but “lack the education or drive to create their own wealth.”

— Ethnic Germans are “pacified” and “aging” and he forecasts “hard struggles over resources” creating a grim future for Germany.

— Considering the huge number of people with foreign roots already present and their far higher fertility rates, and with no end in sight for the country’s policies of importing hundreds of thousands of migrants a year, Germans “will inevitably loose out.”

— Sexual assaults will also continue to increase along as the migrant populations do.

— Paulwitz concludes: “A government that decides to change the ethnic and cultural structure of the country without asking its people violates the principle of popular sovereignty,” also adding that it is surprising that so few citizens are trying to fight the change at the ballot box.

Megan Kelly interviews the ex-Muslim activist Ayaan Hirsi Ali, who talks about her life growing up as a Muslim in Africa, and how she came to convert from the religion and become an activist while living in the Netherlands.   Ali mentions her new book “Heretic— Why Islam Needs Reformation Now,” which advocates reforming Islam.

Note: March 21, 2020— Now that I have a better understanding of Islam I don’t actually agree with with some of what is said in this video.  In it, Hirsi Ali (who is endorsed by the political Establishment) creates a false perception that “normal” Islam is not dangerous, and she claims that Islam can be “reformed” when in fact actually it realistically cannot be, and she makes those claims instead of more appropriately advocating that people leave Islam altogether.

For example, in the video they show Ali explain that when she was young in Somalia they were just “regular Muslims,” but then “things started to change,” and they started “preaching violence to women.”  I don’t doubt that the violence was increased as she says, however the statement creates a perception that Islam is not normally violent and oppressive to women, which it certainly is.

In another example, she explains that she has written a book with a “five point plan” to reform Islam by “getting rid of Sharia law,” however she still advocates that Muhammad should be considered to be God’s prophet, despite the fact that he was a mass murdering rapist and enslaver of humanity.

At a soccer match between Turkey and Greece held in Istanbul, Turkish fans overwhelmingly booed, shouted, and whistled during a one minute moment of silence for the victims of the November 13 Paris attacks which killed 130 people.  The crowd can be heard chanting “Martyrs don’t die.  The homeland will never be divided” and “Allahu Akbar,” and later they also booed the Greek national anthem.

Some apologists claim that the fans were chanting in support of the victims of the Paris attack but that is not true for a few reasons.  First of all because Turkey is predominantly Sunni Muslim and support for ISIS exists in the country, particularly because of Turkish opposition to Kurdish rebels who ISIS also opposes.  And also the fans booed the Greek national anthem in the same manner, which the Turkish President Recep Erdogan later chastised but did not mention the moment of silence.

Also see this CBS News article about the issue.

In this video, the Australian activist Kirralie Smith mentions many important issues with Islam.   Following is a summary of her statements:

— Some people accuse her of being divisive because she criticizes Islam, but in fact she is only pointing out what is divisive in Islam itself.  People also accuse her of promoting hate speech, but she is only criticizing the hate speech which is in the Quran and Hadith.

— She does not hate individual people but rather the ideology of Islam which condones the oppression of women and the persecution of gays and minority groups.  She highlights and exposes the violence in the Quran and Hadith, and she criticizes Muhammad condoning and encouraging rape, slavery, murder, cutting off limbs, chopping off people’s heads, and striking terror into the hearts of unbelievers.

— Some Muslims contact her privately and claim that Muslims who literally obey the Quran are not “real” Muslims, but she disagrees.  They try to argue to her that Allah and true Muslims are peaceful, and her response to them is that they should be devoting their time and energy to trying to convince devout Muslims who are violent that they are not being genuine Muslims.  Despite people claiming that groups like ISIS are not “true Muslims,” the truth of the matter is that such groups are actually following literal interpretations of the Quran and Hadith to justify their vile behavior.

—OIC (Organization of Islamic Countries) nations such as Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Yemen, Egypt, Indonesia, and Malaysia actually govern according to Sharia law, which follow explicitly violent and oppressive verses of the Quran and Hadith.  Many Islamic governments strike fear into the hearts of their citizens, and they achieve “peace” by threatening to stone, whip, cut off limbs, or execute people— which is all according the the direct and explicit commands of the Quran.

— Mainstream public Muslim figures should speak out against negative practices of Muslim groups and nations, but they do not.  Also individual everyday Muslims should stop wasting their efforts on inaccurately countering critics of Islam but instead they should criticize those who practice literal interpretations of what is written in the Quran and Hadith- but those who are brave enough to do so are severely punished by other Muslims.

— Muslims are expected to consider Muhammad to be a perfect example to follow, yet he married one of his wives when she was only six years old (and he was 55).  Due to this, the practice of grown men marrying children in Pakistan is not banned because doing so would be blasphemous and against the prophet himself.  Also in Turkey there are attempts to lower the age of consent to twelve years old.

— “Do true Muslims think Allah got it right when he said ‘women are deficient in the head?’  Who is the true Muslim, the one who agrees with Allah, or the one who disagrees?”

— Allah said that gays need to be executed, and there are Imams in Australia who say Allah is never wrong and it is a justifiable response to gays according to Sharia.

— The Quran teaches Muslims that they only need to follow the rules of the countries they live in only until Sharia law takes over, which is the ultimate goal of Islam.

— Instead of criticizing Western nations for not doing enough for refugees, Muslims should campaign for Islamic nations to use their wealth to fund and house the refugees.  Middle eastern countries do little if anything to help Syrian refugees, but instead they offer to help build mosques in places like Germany for asylum seekers to spread more Islam.  Muslim countries are acting the way that they are because their goal is the Islamization of the west.

— Anyone who continues to insist that Islam is peaceful is simply not credible or believable anymore.  It is obvious that many Muslims around the world are acting on hateful literal interpretations of the Quran and the Hadith.  Some are striking terror into the hearts of unbelievers by cutting off people’s heads and limbs.  Most Islamic governments literally apply Sharia law to oppress and create fear.

— Unfortunately it is important to spread the word about the fact that there are many dangerous Muslims in the world who think that Allah and Muhammad never made any wrong commandments.

Following is a summary of this Breitbart article:

Several Arab and Western intelligence agencies have reported that tens of thousands of ISIS fighters have “gone missing” in Syria, Iraq, and Libya; not being found where they are expected to be at the conclusions of conflicts.  Battles “did not yield thousands of dead or captured fighters” as expected, according to an Arab intelligence official.

“That’s why it’s worrisome – these people are gone.  They either integrated into noncombatant communities or, more likely, infiltrated into neighboring countries – to Turkey, and from there to Europe and other Middle Eastern countries, and in Libya’s case, all over North Africa,” the official said, also mentioning that 700 Tunisian fighters are unaccounted for, while thousands more are being sought.

The following information is from a Russia Today article: 

The Associated Press has gathered documents and testimonials to produce a picture of widespread atrocities in Iraq and Syria where 55 ISIS mass graves have been located in Syria and 17 in Iraq, containing as many as 15,000 victims.

The information came from a satellite intelligence firm named AllSource that matches photos from space with eyewitness accounts, and also from aid groups such as Yazda, and often from ISIS itself that brags about its atrocities of killing “infidels” and “traitors.”

An investigator for the Iraqi Kurds said, “They are beheading them, shooting them, running them over in cars, all kinds of killing techniques, and they don’t even try to hide it.”

The biggest known massacre was committed in Tikrmt in June 2014, when ISIS gunned down up to 1,700 unarmed Shiite Iraqi Air Force recruits, forcing them to shout slogans as they laid down waiting to be executed.  Thirty-six of the perpetrators were hanged for the war crime earlier this month.   Another similar massacre also happened two days earlier near Ramadi as described by survivors who played dead and escaped during the night with 15 others.

With the war still ongoing in many areas such as Hardan, which is a Kurdish area, the authorities have only roped off the mass graves for excavating the dead in the future when resources will exist to do so, currently leaving the bodies exposed to the elements, to the horror of local villagers.

Since ISIS is enemies with different sects such as Shia and Yazidis, and different ethnicities such as Kurds, and even certain Sunni tribes, there are estimated to be hundreds of mass graves that will take years to be fully mapped for their victims to be given a proper burial.

“This is a drop in an ocean of mass graves expected to be discovered in the future in Syria,” said Ziad Awad, who is cataloging the ISIS massacres.

Following are points from a CNN article:

— European security officials estimate that 30 to 40 suspected ISIS terrorists who supported the November 13 Paris shootings that killed 130 people are still at large, and they believe they are preparing for more international attacks as the resources of security agencies are stretched beyond their limits.

— The Paris attacks that killed 130 was meant to be even broader and include other countries such as the Netherlands, and an operative allegedly linked to the Paris attackers remained free for months after authorities learned of his existence.

— The European countries most at risk are the ones launching attacks against ISIS:  France, Belgium, the Netherlands, the UK, Denmark, as well as Germany.

— The US is vulnerable also due to its porous border with Mexico, and Western European passport holders can travel to the U.S. without a visa.  U.S. nationals are able to travel to and from Syria and Turkey from the U.S. via Western Europe.

— It is essentially impossible to track ISIS sympathizers and former fighters due to its structure of concentric rings of secrecy where militants are unaware of who the others are that are involved.  For example the people supplying the weapons used in the Paris attacks had no idea what they would be used for.

— The number of European passport holders who have traveled to Syria and Iraq range from 6,000 to 9,000 people, many of whom traveled to fight for ISIS.

— As ISIS suffers losses in Syria and Iraq, its fighters will return to Europe in record numbers to launch attacks and mobilize others.  Security officials say that Europe tightening security would prompt ISIS to send as many fighters there as possible in the awareness that its ability to do so would not last indefinitely.

— During the past few years a wave of foreign fighters, a general increase in the Salafi movement, and “a sky-rocketing of right-wing-motivated criminal offenses” stretched security agencies beyond their limits.  Security services in Western and Central Europe and the Balkans are operating at full capacity just by trying to identify those returning from Syria and Iraq and then trying to identify those who are a threat.  Problems arise from budget and resource constraints along with sub-optimal intelligence sharing practices.

— An example of problems arising from inadequate security measures is the fact that it took months for one of the Paris attackers Abid Tabaouni to be tracked down as he was visiting Amsterdam and Brussels, with him posting pictures online of the Amsterdam’s waterfront skyline on a few occasions.

— ISIS propaganda is focusing on overwhelmingly inciting “lone wolf” individuals to launch independent attacks such as the Orlando nightclub shootings, which is a difficult element for security services to contend with.

This video is a compilation of brief snippets of video footage of celebrating Palestinians that was broadcast in the US media on September 11, 2001.  Much more footage has been suppressed by the AP, as explained in this article.

The following information has been summarized from this Gateway Pundit article: 

The AP has been shown to have suppressed video taken by a freelance AP reporter showing  widespread jubilant celebrations by thousands of Palestinians in the West Bank on September 11, 2001, cheering the al Qaeda attacks that occurred in the United States on that day.

A 2015 New York Post article  by former U.S. Attorney Harry Litman explains how the video was suppressed by the AP after the cameraman and news organization were threatened by Palestinian terrorists.  Brief videos of smaller celebrations by Palestinians did get broadcast in the US media on 9/11 and have been compiled in the video that is posted on the top of this article.

Footage that is still suppressed supposedly shows thousands of jubilant Palestinians taking to the streets, chanting “Allah akbar,” firing automatic weapons and handing out candy to passers-by, with the largest demonstration taking place in Nablus in the West Bank where as many as 3,000 people danced and cheered.

Foreign journalists were in the area but they were forcibly detained in a hotel by Palestinian security forces to prevent them from documenting the rally, however one cameraman who was a freelance AP reporter managed to film some of the celebrations.

The next day, members of Tanzim, the military arm of Fatah, threatened the cameraman with death if the AP aired the material he recorded, telling them they could not “guarantee his life” if he did so.

The AP bureau chief in Jerusalem acknowledged the intimidation and refused to release of the footage citing safety reasons.  The footage remains inaccessible to this day.

Litman laments, “… whatever exigency it could point to in 2001 cannot justify a permanent gap in the documentary account of the worst domestic attack in US history.  These searing images belong in the public record, not in the closed video vault of a cowed news agency.”

The following is summarized from a Breitbart article: 

A German NGO in Brussels is trying to establish allowing Migrants to come to Europe via passenger airlines to prevent harm from coming to them on their treks to the continent.

The group is trying to circumvent airline regulations which don’t allow migrants to fly due to complications arising from asylum seekers being rejected, where airlines are currently fined $3,000 for each brought in and bare the responsibility of returning them, which is a process that can cost as much as $50,000 per migrant.

Article: “North African migration has largely been the driver of the current migrant crisis and many, including the Libyan Prime Minister have warned that the Islamic State is infiltrating the migrants.  To some, given their vast funding, the group may easily be able to take advantage of easy flights and access to Europe through the ‘Let’s fly To Europe’ program.”
