The Jewish organisation LICRA and the Great Mosque of Paris have joined forces against "anti-Muslim racism". LICRA was founded to fight "neonazism and Holocaust denial".

In the last few years, LICRA has intensified its international actions by opening offices abroad, in Switzerland, in Belgium, in Luxembourg, in Germany, in Portugal, in Quebec and more recently in Congo Brazzaville and in Austria.
The partnership agreement between the International League Against Racism and Antisemitism (LICRA) and the Great Mosque of Paris (GMP) was signed by the President of LICRA, Mario Stasi, and the Rector of the Great Mosque of Paris, Chems-eddine Hafiz, on May 19, 2021.
This will allow victims of “anti-Muslim racism” to obtain legal aid from the LICRA free of charge. The two organizations announced the creation of a joint working group which will focus on youth issues.
This agreement thus provides for “awareness and information actions” directed towards “young people” and “schools”, according to AFP who quoted the rector of the mosque of Paris. A joint working group will be formed and will make it possible to develop “joint analyses on current issues related to anti-Muslim racism and secularism, universalism and republican values”, the two organizations stated in a press release, adding the observation that “anti-Muslim racism is more and more prevalent and is visibly manifested in society”.
In recent years, the LICRA has observed in particular that “among all the facts of racism or discrimination of which [it] has been alerted to via its online or telephone reporting format, the reports of anti-Muslim acts (acts of a racist and discriminatory nature) are the most”.
According to 2020 figures sent to AFP, out of some 800 reports for acts of racism or anti-Semitism, 263 were acts of “anti-Maghreb or anti-Muslim” racism. And of the 492 reports received by the “online hatred” service, 114 concerned anti-Maghreb or anti-Muslim racism. The LICRA and the Great Mosque of Paris said that “there was a need to develop a new framework to support and organize the Islam of France”.
To coincide with the announcement that the LICRA will in future be funding litigation against those who voice criticism against Islam, in Guichainville, an investigation was opened against Member of the European Parliament (MEP) and National Rally General Secretary Nicolas Bay after he released a video of a mosque construction site and Quranic school.
This investigation follows “a report and a complaint from the Great Mosque of Paris” after the broadcast of the video shot in front of the future mosque of Guichainville (Eure), Dominique Puechmaille, prosecutor of Évreux, confirmed on Wednesday, May 19, 2021.
This 44-second video was posted on May 5 on Nicolas Bay’s Facebook account, according to the report sent to the prosecutor by the elected officials of the left-wing opposition group in the city council of Évreux.
The elected officials of Évreux claimed that the publication of the head of the RN elicited comments on his Facebook page which, “in addition to their racist character, […] call, unequivocally, for violence against Muslims attending this mosque”. The “alleged acts of provocation to racial hatred” by the European deputy of the RN, did not stop Bay from commenting on his Facebook page on Wednesday afternoon: “Yes, the minaret of this mosque has no place in Normandy. Yes, communitarianism and Islamism are a threat to our country. The elected socialists and their accomplices will not prevent me from saying it.”
In a tweet, Bay reminded his audience that the Islamist who beheaded French teacher Samuel Paty, came from Évreux.
À Guichainville dans l’#Eure, je suis devant une immense mosquée en construction qui accueillera également une école coranique. Le minaret de cette mosquée est le symbole d’une volonté d’affirmation qui n’a pas sa place sur notre sol ! #Normandie2021 pic.twitter.com/qBbPdRN5Sp

European Nationalist Parties Forge Cooperation Ahead of EU Elections
EUROPEAN ELECTIONSOn Saturday, August 26, representatives of six European nationalist parties gathered in Budapest. The meeting was initiated by the Hungarian party Mi Hazánk and took place in the national parliament. Representatives of the parties signed a joint declaration that not only reaffirms the parties' friendship but also their unity on a range of complex political issues. A surprisingly clear and radical manifesto was established. The hope is that this cooperation will lead to success in the EU elections and eventually result in the formation of a group in the European Parliament. For Swedish nationalism, this meeting marks a success as Sweden, for the first time, has a party represented in a leading nationalist cooperation in Europe. Free West Media was present at this historic event.

Turkey Believes Sweden Hasn’t Done Enough
Sweden will have to wait a bit longer for NATO membership, according to Turkey's Justice Minister Jilmaz Tunc. First, Sweden must extradite the "terrorists" Turkey wants and stop the desecration of the Quran.

Swedish Weapon Takes Down Russia’s Best Attack Helicopter
The Russian attack helicopter Ka-52 is considered one of the world's best and has struck fear in Ukraine, where it has hunted down tanks and other armored vehicles, often beyond the range of many light anti-aircraft systems. However, it has met its match in the Swedish air defense missile system RBS 70, which has quickly led to significant losses for the Russian helicopter forces.

The Sun Drives Earth’s Climate, Not Carbon Dioxide
Top Researchers Push Back Against Climate Lies."The correlation is as clear as day," explained the Israeli astrophysicist Nir Shaviv, who was hailed by the establishment, before his interview with Forbes was hastily deleted. What he says contradicts the climate narrative, which points to humans as responsible for Earth's climate. Shaviv firmly asserts that it is the sun that controls the climate, something that can be scientifically proven in many ways. Contrary to the popular belief, the sun's influence on Earth has, in recent years, caused unusually cold and rainy weather, a trend that solar researchers warn will worsen significantly in the coming decades. The sun has exhibited an unusually low activity since 2016, during Solar Cycle 24, which was the weakest in a century.

Strong Confidence in German AfD
Alternative for Germany (AfD) held a party conference on July 29-30 to select candidates for the upcoming EU election next year. EU Parliament member Maximilian Krah, belonging to the party's more radical, ethnonationalist faction, was appointed as the top candidate. The party's two spokespersons delivered powerful speeches criticizing the EU's failed migration policy and trade sanctions that isolate Europe and Germany from the rest of the world. They argued that it's time for the EU to return a significant portion of its power to national parliaments. However, they have dropped the demand for Germany to exit the EU.

The Establishment Wants to Ban Germany’s Second Largest Party – for the Sake of Democracy
The rising popularity of AfD has raised strong concerns within the establishment. Despite lies and demonization in the media and isolation from the overall political establishment, the party continues to grow. Certain representatives of the party are accused of becoming increasingly "extreme," and in an unusual move, the influential weekly newspaper Der Spiegel demanded that AfD be "banned."

The Ursula von der Leyen Affair
After a criminal complaint in Belgium against the President of the European Commission, the so-called SMS-case, now takes a new turn.

Publisher of Unique Literature Worldwide Blocked by International Distributor
Arktos has distinguished itself by publishing groundbreaking philosophers and social critics. Now, the publisher's international distributor has abruptly terminated the cooperation, and more than 400 already printed titles cannot reach their audience. There is strong evidence that the distributor has been under pressure, something that has also happened in Sweden. We have spoken with Arktos founder Daniel Friberg about the ongoing struggle for freedom of speech in a shrinking cultural corridor.
