The Left Is Working With Islam To Destroy The Judeo-Christian Western Way Of Life… And Europe Is Falling Fast

The madness has now reached peak levels in the UK. This month, the Labor government announced that Britain's countryside is too "white," and come hell or high water, they are going to make it more diverse, whether the people living there like it or not. Get ready for mosques and hijabs in quaint little British towns that were a last refuge from the Islamization that has transformed Britain's big cities. Europe is falling, and it's falling fast. If you had any doubt, this past month proved that the United States, under President Trump, is the last line of defense for Judeo-Christian Western civilization—or what's left of it.

Turkey Accuses European Parliament Of ‘Interference’ Amid Mounting Scrutiny Over Expulsions Of Christians

“These deportations of Christians in Türkiye for reasons of national security are one more attack on Christians, the most persecuted religious minority around the world. The EU cannot talk of human rights and then remain silent when Christians are facing problems in Africa or persecution in a neighboring country. We must stand up for freedom of religion everywhere without any double standards. Türkiye must put a stop to these deportations of Christians.” 

Rubio Delivers One Of The Most Important Speeches Since The End Of World War II

The assembled leaders and diplomats, mostly from Europe and across the Western world, heard Secretary Rubio deliver a rousing defense of Judeo-Christian Western civilization. It was a call for the West to unite around our shared history, values, and Christian heritage—and to proudly stand for faith, family, and freedom. Rubio received a standing ovation when he was done, and for good reason.

Arrest Of Christian Pastor Highlights Vast Censorship Of Biblical Truth In The UK

“I am a law-abiding citizen and it feels surreal that the police have criminalised me so harshly and repeatedly merely for peacefully expressing my Christian views in the public square. Unfortunately, I believe that the police view me, a Christian pastor, as an easy target and are afraid of others being offended by my lawful speech. This is two-tier policing in action.”

Antisemitism Has Become A Feature, Not An Anomaly, Of British Society

Muslim migration to the United Kingdom (UK) has made Islam the second largest religion there. Muslims outnumber Jews 13 to 1 and now threaten the fifth largest Jewish community in the world by holding attitudes like Jihad al-Shamie, who boasted, “I have killed two Jews in the name of the Islamic State,” after he attacked a UK synagogue on October 2, 2025.

Gradual Dismantling The Christian Moral And Political Framework: Is Religious Liberty Dying In The UK?

The rights now under threat—freedom of conscience, speech and worship—were birthed from the Christian conviction that every person first stands accountable to God, not the state. When the Christian conviction is removed, the secular state, which is never neutral, expands to fill the vacuum. Once Christ is no longer recognized as Lord over national life, political authority becomes absolute, and Christian dissent becomes suspect.

Top European Court Takes Up Cases of Christians Banned from Turkey

The government’s use of these codes effectively labels individuals as a “threat to public order and security,” a classification normally reserved for terrorism suspects. In practice, however, those targeted have no criminal records and no evidence of unlawful conduct — the only thing that they have in common is openly practicing and sharing their Christian faith.

Shaping Young Minds: UAE Cuts Scholarships To Study In The UK, Citing Radical Islamic Ideologies In British Universities

In January this year, the UAE made a shock announcement. It would no longer fund its young students to study abroad at universities in the United Kingdom. The decision was reported by multiple news outlets, each confirming the shocking reason for the pronouncement. An Emirati expert in strategic and political affairs, Amjad Taha, said, “The UAE will not send its students to become hostages of Islamist jihadist ideology disguised as campus activism” while studying in Britain.

If Passed, This Amendment Will Mark The Biggest Change To UK Abortion Law Since 1967

On Monday this week, the House of Lords debated controversial Clause 191 of the Crime and Policing Bill which would decriminalise abortion for women acting in relation to their own pregnancy.

Finnish MP On Trial For Bible Tweet Testifies Before US Congress: ‘European Censorship Is A Worldwide Concern’

“Speech that is lawful today can become criminalized tomorrow. This should concern every person that values freedom,” Räsänen said. “My case shows where this path can lead. Recent developments from the European Union, like the Digital Services Act, make European censorship a worldwide concern.” 

NHS Reinstates UK Christian Nurse Suspended for ‘Misgendering’ Patient

The NHS Trust has dropped a disciplinary case against a U.K. Christian nurse who was suspended after publicly criticizing a warning she had received from the Trust for “misgendering” a biological male who had been convicted of pedophilia and identified as female.

Christians Can Not Allow The Tiny Flame Of Holocaust Memory To Be Extinguished

In our day and age, our worse enemies like online antisemite Nick Fuentes compare the Jews to cookies going into ovens. Others say the Shoah (the catastrophe) never happened or was just exaggerated as propaganda for the Jews to start the State of Israel. Even within our friends and within the evangelical church, there are people who think that six million was too high a number. I lost my grandfather, murdered in Auschwitz. If you ask me...One was too high a number!

Compromise Is A Gospel Issue, And We Must Not Back Down

For too long we have allowed Christian truth to be gnawed at until it becomes barely recognisable from the beliefs and expressions of our forefathers. If Christians are free to speak the truth, we must also be free to challenge the invasions—however subtle—which seek to subvert the truth too.

High-Speed Train Collision Kills Scores Of People In Southern Spain

Scores of people were reported killed and nearly 200 injured in southern Spain after a high-speed train derailed and collided with an oncoming train, in what Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez called “a night of deep pain” for the country.

‘A Victory For Common Sense’: UK Employment Tribunal Rules In Favor Of Biological Truth

“This is a victory for common sense and for every woman who simply wants to feel safe at work,” said Darlington nurse Bethany Hutchison, president of the Darlington Nursing Union. “Women deserve access to single-sex spaces without fear of intimidation. Forcing us to undress in front of a man was not only degrading but dangerous. Today’s ruling sends a clear message: the NHS cannot ignore women’s right in the name of ideology.” 

Held To Account: BBC Edits Misleading ‘Conversion Therapy’ Article But Its Output Remains Grossly Biased

I have begun a research project on the BBC’s coverage of conversion therapy. Looking through more than 30 articles published over the last ten years, it is completely clear that the corporation’s output is not remotely balanced or impartial. It needs to change. This is the first line in the sand. If we continue to see editors signing off on biased representations of this important and politically relevant topic, we will continue to hold them to account, with each infraction demonstrating their brazen attitude towards truth.

Planned Chinese Embassy in London Poses Greater Espionage Threat than Previously Known: Blueprints

A controversial plan to build China’s largest embassy in Europe came under renewed criticism this week after a British paper obtained access to unredacted blueprints that showed a secret, underground room lying only meters from sensitive fiber-optic cables. The revelation came as British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is expected to approve the project before a planned visit to China later this month.

UK Petition to Halt Drug Trial Testing Puberty Blockers on Kids Passes 100,000 Signatures

A UK petition to cancel a clinical trial testing puberty blockers on children surpassed 100,000 signatures yesterday — a critical milestone which qualifies the petition for debate in parliament.

Who Is Really In Control?: UK Police Lie To Cover Up Enforcement Of Islamic Demands

West Midlands Police made claims about the behaviour of Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters at a game in Amsterdam in November 2024. However, police in the Netherlands dismissed these claims as untrue or misleading. West Midlands police exaggerated the police response to disorder in Amsterdam, increasing the claimed officers deployed from 1,200 officers to 5,000 officers.

Chaplains Deploy After Devastating Fire In Switzerland

A New Year’s Eve celebration turned tragic when a fire broke out at Le Constellation, a nightclub in Crans-Montana, Switzerland. The incident killed 40 people and left many more seriously injured.  At the invitation of a local pastor, the Billy Graham Rapid Response Team (BG-RRT) sent crisis-trained chaplains to the area on Jan. 2.

Trump Administration Speaks Out As Woman Becomes First In The UK To Face Criminal Charges For Silent Prayer

“The decision to prosecute a woman engaged in silent prayer is not only concerning in terms of its impact on respect for the fundamental freedoms of expression and religion or belief, but is also an unwelcome departure from the shared values that ought to underpin U.S.–U.K. relations... We are monitoring Isabel’s case closely. It is common sense that standing silently and offering conversation should not constitute harm."

A Serious Freedom Of Speech Problem: The Three Big Threats To UK Street Ministry

Christian street ministry has a long and fruitful history in the United Kingdom. But in recent years the freedom to preach in the streets has been severely curtailed. The legalisation of same-sex marriage and the advancement of transgenderism has left Christians vulnerable should they speak about the Bible’s pattern for marriage and sexuality. This is true for people in the workplace, who may risk their jobs for speaking up. But it’s also true in public spaces.

‘If Jewish Children Singing In Hebrew Now Triggers Law Enforcement And Handcuffs, Then Something Is Broken’

A chilling video circulating online shows a young woman being pinned against the floor of an airport as Spanish police place her in handcuffs, manhandling her in the process. The video has drawn condemnation not only because of what it shows, but also because of what led to the incident: the removal of 44 French Jewish teenagers the woman was supervising from a European flight, allegedly for the crime of speaking Hebrew.

‘De Facto Blasphemy Laws’: As The UK Seeks To Redefine ‘Anti-Muslim Hostility,’ Legal Experts Sound The Alarm

If the government adopts this as its official definition it will be a very significant moment in this country. While it will not actually be a blasphemy law, it will effectively be a blasphemy code in relation to Islam. It won’t actually be a criminal offence to say something which falls foul of this definition, but you could lose your job and have your speech recorded against you as a non-crime hate incident.

Germany Detains Five Over Suspected Christmas Market Attack Plot

German authorities have detained five men in southern Germany over an alleged plot to carry out a “possibly Islamist-motivated attack” on a Christmas market, officials confirmed late Friday.

Teacher Fired for Calling England a Christian Country Wins Appeal

A teacher in England who was banned from working with children for telling a Muslim student that “Britain is still a Christian state” has won an appeal and received a new teaching job. 

As Christmas Markets Become A Focal Point Of Islamic Hatred, It’s Time For The West To Take Notice

A warning is once again relevant, as the cherished Christmas market has become a focal point of their hatred. Long seen as a symbol of joy and celebration, a place for families to gather and share time together, to enjoy hot chocolate and seasonal foods, and to experience nativity displays and carol singers. They are now labelled a “high-risk” environment that requires armed police, concrete security barriers, and anti-terror protocols.

Despite Being An Atheistic Stronghold, France Experiences ‘Quiet Surge’ Of Evangelicals

A few weeks ago, a short documentary from a secular news media outlet proclaimed “the quiet surge of France’s evangelicals,” sharing that “evangelical churches are booming in France, a country often seen as one of the most secular [atheistic] in Europe. They’re multiplying so fast that every ten days, a new evangelical church opens its doors”—a new church every ten days!

The Muslim Long Game: From Syria To Europe And America, Islam’s Global Strategy Is On Full Display

The deeper we look at this man, the more apparent it becomes that while he says the right words, his actions betray him. He is playing the Muslim long game, similar to the “soft takeover” that Islam has carried out in Europe. He is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, and I hope that President Donald Trump and other world leaders have enough insight to see him for who he really is. Al-Sharaa’s soft takeover is indicative of Islam’s global strategy. The clearest sign of this is in Europe where Muslim violence is blending with the vicious nature of the radical left to steal the peace of the continent.

Russia’s Bid for a Red Sea Stronghold: Sudan’s Secret Base Deal Ignites Global Alarm

Sudan’s military rulers have quietly offered Russia its first-ever African naval base—an arrangement that would hand the Kremlin a powerful strategic foothold over the Red Sea, one of the world’s most critical and contested trade arteries—according to a Wall Street Journal exclusive.

Trial By Jury: The Next Item On The Chopping Block In England Holds Major Ramifications For Freedom

Thank God that the United States declared independence from England two-and-a-half centuries ago and dependence upon the Lord at the same time. Great Britain, which was a prime mover toward human progress in many ways, seems to be going through a period of jettisoning its former greatness – one move at a time. On the chopping block? Trial by jury for many cases.

Poisoning Public Debate: BBC News Misleads UK Population About ‘Conversion Therapy’

I believe that this article is materially misleading the public on a matter of real importance. The BBC has long suppressed stories of those who are grateful to have moved out of gay or trans identities, but this is a step further.

As Islam Terrorizes Europe, The Left Resists Trump’s Efforts To Protect America From The Same Future

Trump's team is tracking down and deporting the many bad actors who entered America under the previous administration. Those deportations, along with Trump's vow to shut down immigration from places like Somalia and Afghanistan, has sent the left into a tizzy. Apparently, Democrats want to turn America into Western Europe, where mass Muslim immigration and lax border security are the norms. How is that working out for the Europeans?

UK Supreme Court Rules That Christian Education And Worship In Schools Is Unlawful

The UK Supreme Court has ruled that the Christian-focused religious education and collective worship in Northern Ireland’s state-funded primary schools is “unlawful.” This is a direct assault on the Christian foundations of the education system, but has been coming for some time. It is a stark warning of what happens when a nation abandons truth for relativism in its schools.

EU’s Highest Court Rules That Poland And Other Member States Must Recognize Same-Sex Marriages

While Poland’s justice minister confirmed that the government will implement the ruling, the office of President Karol Nawrocki declared that Poland “will not succumb to the terror of rainbow rulings.” If the EU deems Poland in violation of implementing the ruling, the country could face ongoing fines until it complies. 

Preacher Acquitted After ‘Hate Claim’ For Saying ‘We Love The Jews’

Christian street preacher Shaun O’Sullivan has been cleared by a jury at Swindon Crown Court after a trial that raised serious questions about freedom of speech and the policing of so-called “hate claims.”

Christian Hate Attacks Grow More Violent Across Europe, Watchdog Warns

A new investigation shows threats, violence, and arson attacks targeting Christians in Europe grew significantly more severe over the last year, highlighting mounting concerns about the spread of radical Islam and anti-Christian sentiments across the continent.

Mossad: Foiled Hamas Terror Plots In Europe Were Directed From Qatar, Possibly Turkey

Israeli intelligence revealed Wednesday that a sweeping joint investigation with European security agencies has uncovered a network of Hamas-linked terror cells operating across Europe, with recent plots traced back to Qatar and possibly Turkey, where senior Hamas officials maintain political offices.

Europe’s Highest Court Rules Against Poland’s Eugenic Abortion Ban, Claiming It Breaches ‘Human Rights’

“Poland has both the sovereign prerogative and the duty to protect all innocent human life. Poland’s Constitutional Tribunal acted courageously to protect children with disabilities from discrimination before birth—a goal fully consistent with international human rights law.”

State Department Designates European Antifa Groups Foreign Terror Organizations

“We’re not going to stop at just arresting the violent criminals we can see in the streets,” Bondi said. “Fighting crime is more than just getting the bad guy off of the street. It’s breaking down the organization brick by brick. Just like we did with cartels. We’re going to take this same approach, President Trump, with Antifa. Destroy the entire organization from top to bottom.”

‘Witch Hunt’: Russia Continues Crackdown On Unregistered Baptist Churches

“In Russia, the ‘witch hunt’ is continuing,” Russian attorney Anatoly Pchelintsev said. “I have a question for the deputies who seem so quick to pass prohibitive and punitive laws: What’s stopping them from providing clarity and certainty in legislation so that believers are not harassed?”

Malta’s Prosecution Of Christian Convert Is A Harbinger Of LGBT Objectives In U.S.

In a case with long-term ramifications for the United States, Maltese Christian Matthew Grech has been charged with violating the Mediterranean country’s so-called “conversion therapy” ban for simply sharing his personal testimony of Christian conversion from an LGBT lifestyle in a broadcast interview.

UK Women Accessing Abortion Are Not Told Of The Risk They Would Remain Childless

New analysis in the UK by independent public health consultant Kevin Duffy has shown that many women who access abortion in their twenties will remain childless at 45 – a risk they are not told about.

Teacher Banned For Mocking [REDACTED] Religion: Why Is The UK So Afraid To Criticise Islam?

why has the TRA redacted all reference to Islam or Muslims? What do they think they are hiding? Do they really believe that the British public won’t draw the obvious conclusion? If they really think that then they really ought to do a better job regulating teaching in this country. One would have to be very badly educated not to see the blindingly obvious here.

A Crime To Quote The Bible?: Finnish Supreme Court Hears Case With Far-Reaching Implications For Freedom ‘Across Europe’

“In a democracy, no one should fear criminal prosecution for expressing their faith,” said Coleman. “This case is about far more than one tweet—it is about whether quoting the Bible is permissible in modern Finland. The Supreme Court now has the opportunity to affirm the foundational freedoms that protect everyone, regardless of belief.”

Deeply Antisemitic: We Need To Stop Pretending That Islam Is A Peaceful Religion

Islam is not a peaceful religion, when judged according to its texts and by the example of Muhammad. It is deeply antisemitic. It is a very different religion to Christianity with a very different founder. We cannot ignore these differences and pretend that every act of violence or abuse perpetrated by a Muslim has nothing to do with the religion itself.

The Name of Jesus Proclaimed in Eight Languages in Brussels

The sound of worship reverberated throughout ING Arena in Brussels on Saturday night as the name of Jesus Christ resounded through the rafters—and into two overflow areas set up for the Festival of Hope with Franklin Graham.  In this multicultural city that serves as headquarters for both NATO and the EU, over 14,000 people lifted their voices to God in many languages: from Dutch to Spanish.

Franklin Graham Shares Burden For Youth Ahead Of Brussels Festival

“So many young people in Europe are searching for purpose in life,” he shared with reporters. “They try sexual experiences and drugs and alcohol looking for God and they’re not finding God. I want young people to know that God made them, He’s real, He loves them, He cares for them, and He’s got a plan for how we can have a relationship with Him.”

Heckled, Spat At, And Physically Assaulted: Jewish Student Trip To Italy Showcases The Depth Of Antisemitism In Europe

We witnessed some antisemitic graffiti and acts of Jew-hate in Florence, Venice, and Verona, but nothing could have prepared me for the barrage of Jewish hatred we encountered in Rome—the heart of ancient civilization. In some areas, entire walls were coated with slogans, many not merely masking themselves as pro-Palestinian, but unashamedly proclaiming Jew-hatred.

Russian Fighter Jets Violate Estonian Airspace, NATO Responds With F-35s

Three Russian military jets violated NATO military alliance member Estonia’s airspace for 12 minutes on Friday in an “unprecedentedly brazen” incursion, its government said, prompting Italian F-35 stealth fighters to respond.

Christian Education Under Threat From Major UK Government Bill

After being rushed through the House of Commons earlier this year, the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill continues to be scrutinised in the House of Lords. We have previously warned about the dangers of the bill which validate long-held concerns of overreach into the independence of schools and the private lives of Christian families.

Poland Shoots Down Russian Drones Over Airspace; Closest To Open Conflict Since World War II

Poland’s government said Wednesday it was forced to shoot down suspected Russian drones over its territory in what officials called the nation’s closest step toward armed conflict since World War II, raising alarm across Europe and beyond.

Europe Triggers Snapback Sanctions on Iran Over Nuclear Breaches

Britain, France, and Germany moved Thursday to reimpose sweeping international sanctions on Iran, a step that European governments hope will pressure Tehran back into nuclear negotiations with the Trump administration.

What Lies Beneath: Anti-Semitism Is Once Again Flourishing In Europe

Hitler did not invent anti-Semitism in Europe. He was merely the tip of the iceberg. The vast bulk of the insidious structure lies beneath the surface, which is why today’s Europe is beginning to resemble 1939 all over again. Hitler tapped into the prevailing attitude in Germany at the time.

Huckabee Fires Back At Anti-Israel British Leader: ‘If You Had Been PM Then, The UK Would Be Speaking German’

"So Israel is expected to surrender to Hamas and feed them even though Israeli hostages are being starved? Did UK surrender to Nazis and drop food to them? Ever heard of Dresden, PM Starmer? That wasn't food you dropped. If you had been PM then, the UK would be speaking German!"

Brussels Outreach Sparks Gospel Unity in the Heart of Europe

In early February, Pastor David Vandeput stood before more than 500 Christian leaders from across Belgium. As they worshiped, preached, and prayed in three languages, Vandeput could hardly believe what he was seeing. 

Russia Hoax: False Accusations And Traitors Are Another Distinct Sign Of The Times

To me, this entire political cesspool smells of the Apostle Paul’s “perilous times” descriptions: “trucebreakers,” “false accusers,” “traitors,” and “high-minded.” That shouldn’t be surprising to those who seek truth in their study of Bible prophecy. As we discern prophetic stage-setting signals in every direction on the near horizon, so near the end of this Age of Grace, this great traitorous betrayal predicted by Paul is front and center.

‘War Chest’: BEGA Establishes Fund to Cover Legal Costs of Christians in Europe

The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA), one of the largest evangelism ministries in the world, has established a legal defense fund to help cover the legal expenses of persecuted Christians in Europe. Referred to as a “war chest” by BGEA President Rev. Franklin Graham, this new legal defense acknowledges the distinct nature of gospel resistance in Western countries compared to elsewhere.

Three Parent Babies?: Life Deserves To Be Protected, Not Treated As A Science Fiction Experiment

In a fallen world, there are horrible diseases, like mitochondrial defects, with tragic consequences. But the answer to fighting the effects of the curse in our bodies, and in the bodies of our children, isn’t to create and then end the life of another human being made in the image of God. Each of those babies, unhealthy mitochondria and all, was made in God’s image and deserved the right to life.

‘A Years-Long Coup’: DOJ Opens Grand Jury Probe Into Obama-Era Officials Over Russia Collusion Hoax

In her referral, Gabbard described the alleged actions as a “treasonous conspiracy,” asserting that high-ranking intelligence officials had politicized their roles to manufacture a narrative that would delegitimize Trump’s presidency. “After President Trump won the 2016 election against Hillary Clinton, President Obama and his national security cabinet members manufactured and politicized intelligence to lay the groundwork for what was essentially a years-long coup against President Trump,” a statement from the ODNI claimed.

Christian Teacher Fired For ‘Islamophobic’ Posts Takes Legal Action

“This case highlights the dangerous consequences of the vague and weaponised use of the term ‘Islamophobia’. In a free and democratic society, we must be able to discuss public events and express concern about violence and injustice without fear of losing our livelihoods. The definition of Islamophobia is being used to silence legitimate speech and punish those who dare to speak out. We stand firmly behind this teacher and his right to freedom of expression.”

Trump Deploys Two Nuclear Submarines Near Russia

President Trump has ordered two U.S. nuclear submarines to be positioned in strategic locations near Russia as a war of words erupts between the United States and the Kremlin.

Crumbling Lies And The Antisemitic Delusion Grabbing Hold Of Western Leaders

President Macron of France is saying that his country will recognize a Palestinian state. Now, British Prime Minister Starmer says that if there isn’t peace by September, the UK will recognize a British state. Prime Minister Netanyahu responded to Starmer, saying, “Starmer rewards the monstrous terror of Hamas and punishes its victims.” I think the UK just needs to recognize that we stopped listening to anything they say 77 years ago with the end of the British Mandate.

Criminalizing Speaking The Truth In Love: Christian Man Vindicated After Facing Arrest For Questioning Islam

“This wasn’t about me. It’s about the erosion of our hard-won freedoms and the right to speak truth in love. I’ve never been arrested in 25 years. I wasn’t there to cause trouble, I was there out of love, to share hope and to help people understand the love of Christ. When I heard the charges were dropped, I was relieved, but also angry. So much time, energy, and stress wasted for nothing. I go out because people are hurting. I won’t let fear silence the gospel."

Showing Cowardice In The Face Of Islamic Pressure, France Is Appeasing Evil And Calling It Justice

France just gave radical Islamic terrorism a massive victory. After 40 years behind bars, France has released George Ibrahim Abdallah, a cold-blooded killer who murdered an American military attaché in Paris in 1982 and an Israeli diplomat that same year. Why did France do this? Fear—pure and simple.

Wave of Antisemitic Violence Sweeps Europe as Israelis Targeted Amid Rising Tensions

A disturbing wave of antisemitic incidents has erupted across Europe in recent weeks, targeting Israeli tourists and Jewish communities with increasing frequency and violence. From Greece to Germany, Switzerland to Belgium, attacks, threats, and legal actions against Israelis are raising alarms among Jewish leaders and government officials alike.
