Teacher goes into hiding after Islamist girls allege he displayed Mohammed cartoon
In the Netherlands, in the city of Rotterdam, a teacher had to go into hiding because, according to a group of radicalized girls, he had displayed a cartoon of Mohammed in his classroom. They demanded that he take down the picture, even though it was not a drawing of Mohammed.

A photo of the offending drawing was widely shared on Instagram. … “If this isn’t removed very quickly,” writes one Instagram user, “then we’ll do something else.” According to the police, there are also online threats against the teacher.

In actual fact, there has been a “substantial” digital investigation to hunt down the senders, the police spokesperson admitted, according to Dutch daily De Dagelijkse Standaard.
In 2015, the teacher had put up a cartoon by Joep Bertrams about the attack on the satire magazine Charlie Hebdo. The cartoon won the Inktspotprijs that year. It features a decapitated man in a Charlie Hebdo shirt, sticking out his tongue at the jihadist who just decapitated him. The teacher tried to explain to “the girls” that it was not Mohammed, but they refused to listen to him.
The Islamist girls wanted the cartoon taken down right away. They said the teacher was guilty of “blasphemy”. Other teachers were brought in to explain that the man in the cartoon was not the prophet, but a jihadist. It was however impossible to convince the Islamist students. The discussion became so heated that the cartoon was promptly removed from the bulletin board.
Dutch news outlet NRC tweeted: “For five years a cartoon has hung on the wall of a classroom in Rotterdam. On Monday students demanded its removal. Now a teacher has gone into hiding.”
The community police officer was at the school for a whole day “looking for the connection” with the students. Rector Raoul Majewski said in a statement that the conversation with the students was “hijacked by outsiders to make unfounded threats”.
But on Thursday afternoon, PowNed journalists who were filming in front of Emmaus College were attacked by students from the school. Broadcaster Dominique Weesie told public broadcaster NOS that despite the offer to erase images, the journalists have been abused and beaten. The terrified rector did not want to comment on this incident.
The threats are being taken very seriously in the light of the attacks in France and Austria since Dutch authorities estimate that very little is needed in this climate to trigger jihadists.
Education Minister Arie Slob on Thursday expressed his support for the teacher and the Emmaus College. “It is terrible that the teacher had to go into hiding after a lesson on freedom of expression,” the minister wrote on Twitter. “We stand firmly behind this teacher.” But several teachers of Emmaus College no longer feel safe and the threatened teacher remains in hiding, according to sources. Worse still, says one teacher, the “girls” responsible for the smear campaign can go back to school as usual.
On Friday morning, the Rotterdam police arrested an 18-year-old woman on suspicion of issuing death threats. A post from her on social media had incited others to “commit criminal offenses towards Emmaus College and a teacher”.
On Sunday evening, a video surfaced of Sait Cinar shooting a large photo of Geert Wilders’ head with a firearm and declaring that it was a “cartoon”. Even apart from the man’s crime against the arts, the scene is reason enough for Geert Wilders to report it to law enforcement.
Within 24 hours Wilders received more than 100 Islamist death threats wanting to chop his head off, pour gasoline on him, put a bullet through his head, hang him, bomb or slaughter him.

NOAA Predicts Zero Sunspots for Almost the Whole 2030s
CLIMATEThe United States' government scientific organization, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), predicts zero sunspots from 2031 to 2040. This is an extreme situation that has not occurred in as long as humanity has been counting sunspots, and it leads us into uncharted territory in terms of our solar system. However, this prediction aligns with the warnings of the world-renowned solar researcher Valentina Zharkova for many years, who indicated in 2019 various signs of this catastrophic phenomenon, including the extreme hailstorms we have seen in Europe and the world this summer. The forecast and various observations this year give cause for very significant concern. In this unique analysis, Free West Media explains why.
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.

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.

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."
