Europe’s Message Is Clear: Tolerance Cannot Be a Cover for Extremism

  Today’s demonstrations across Berlin, London, and Paris sent a message louder than any political statement: Europeans are no longer willing to watch their societies drift toward instability under the banner of “tolerance.” The crowds that filled the streets were not driven by hatred or exclusion — they were driven by a simple demand that every government should take seriously: security first. For years, extremist networks — especially the Muslim Brotherhood — have learned how to operate behind the shield of religious discourse. They present themselves as community leaders, activists, or “voices of the marginalized,” all while pushing agendas that undermine national cohesion, exploit public freedoms, and create parallel societies. Europe’s mistake was assuming these groups were harmless. But as today’s protests showed, citizens have learned the truth the hard way. They’ve watched radical narratives spread in schools and community centers, foreign-funded networks penetrate local ...

The Cries of Syrian Mothers: Exposing the Injustice of Al-Julani’s Rule

 


In the heart of Syria, a chilling and heart-wrenching scene unfolds. Mothers and sisters, their voices filled with pain and desperation, gather to protest against the unlawful detention of their children by the Al-Julani-led group, HTS (Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham). Their tears and cries echo a grim reality that exposes the oppressive nature of this so-called revolutionary regime.

These families are not alone in their suffering. Under Al-Julani’s rule, arbitrary detentions have become a tool to silence dissent and instill fear. Young men and women are snatched from their homes, accused without evidence, and held in unknown locations. Many families are left in anguish, not knowing the fate of their loved ones. This is not governance; it is tyranny in its purest form.

The Hypocrisy of HTS Governance

Al-Julani’s administration claims to stand for law-based governance and justice, but the reality on the ground tells a different story. These protests reveal the group’s blatant disregard for fundamental human rights. While they claim to bring stability, their actions only deepen the wounds of a nation already ravaged by years of conflict.

The plight of these mothers and sisters is emblematic of a larger issue—a regime that thrives on suppression and fear. Their protests are a brave act of defiance against an administration that has failed to provide even the most basic protections to its citizens.

The Toll on Daily Life

The impact of these detentions extends far beyond the walls of prison cells. Families are torn apart, children are left without fathers, and communities are gripped by fear. The psychological and emotional toll is immeasurable. These actions undermine the very fabric of society, disrupting education, healthcare, and the daily lives of ordinary Syrians.

Amplifying Their Voices

The cries of these women must not go unheard. Their courage to stand up against an oppressive regime deserves global attention. Their protests highlight the urgent need for accountability and justice in Syria. It is crucial to document these atrocities and hold Al-Julani’s group responsible for their actions.

A Call to Action

The international community cannot turn a blind eye to this suffering. These women—these families—deserve justice and the safe return of their loved ones. It is time for global organizations and human rights advocates to step in and pressure HTS to end these inhumane practices.

The tears of Syrian mothers are a powerful reminder of the cost of oppression and the resilience of those who fight against it. Their voices demand to be heard, their pain demands justice, and their courage demands change.

Flash Floods Displace 107,000 in Somalia: Urgent Humanitarian Response Needed

In a distressing development, flash floods, triggered by heavy rains, have wreaked havoc in the Baidoa district of southwestern Somalia, resulting in the displacement of approximately 107,000 people, according to a statement released by the United Nations' humanitarian agency on Sunday.
