Those who breach the law face fines ranging from $175 to $3,500.
In Portugal, President António José Seguro has enacted a law that bans face coverings in public spaces.
The legislation is seen as targeting Muslim women who wear burqas and niqabs.
There are exemptions for health, professional, artistic, or weather-related reasons.
Face coverings are also permitted in places of worship, diplomatic missions, and on aircraft.
The radical Left’s relentless war on religious freedom and the unborn has reached a terrifying new level in New Jersey.
Far-left Governor Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ) signed sweeping legislation Thursday that creates harsh new criminal and civil penalties for alleged “interference” with abortion and transgender medical procedures.
Pro-life leaders warn the measure could be weaponized to frighten Christians and sidewalk counselors away from peacefully praying outside abortion facilities.
Sherrill signed S2260/A2218, which creates a new criminal offense called “interference with reproductive health care services.”
The Democrat governor claimed the legislation was necessary to protect abortionists and their patients.
“We have seen attacks from the Trump Administration and other states on access to reproductive and gender affirming healthcare, and attempts to impose restrictions across state borders. Here in New Jersey, we are standing firm in defense of reproductive freedoms – including the right to choose and the right to receive gender-affirming care,” Sherrill said in an official statement.
“No one should fear intimidation or violence for seeking healthcare, and no healthcare professional should fear punishment from another state for providing care that is legal in New Jersey. With this legislation, we are making clear that New Jersey will protect patients, providers, and the fundamental freedom to make personal healthcare decisions.”
In Islam, there is no separation between mosque and state. The goal is to use the state to make everyone submit to Islam. If you want to see what this looks like, just check out almost any country in the Middle East that has a Muslim majority. They don’t believe in freedom of speech or freedom of religion. Do you want to know how many churches there are in Saudi Arabia? The answer is zero, because churches are banned in Saudi Arabia. Now this same ideology is spreading in America, and that should deeply alarm all of us.
Today, Islam is the fastest growing religion in America.
It used to be witchcraft, but now Islam has taken the top spot.
There are now more than 2,700 mosques in the United States.
In 1970, there were about 100.
But it isn’t just mosques that are going up everywhere.
Enormous Islamic “mini-cities” are being constructed in states such as California and Texas.
And rapidly growing Islamic populations are taking over entire sections of the states of Minnesota and Michigan.
What we have been witnessing all over Europe is now happening here.
The following are 8 examples that demonstrate that the Islamization of America is steadily progressing…
#1 Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed has a really good chance of winning in November, and he has publicly stated that he has a sacred “obligation” to obey Islamic law in every area of his life until he dies…
Muslim Democrat Michigan Senatorial candidate Abdul El-Sayed has previously declared his sacred “obligation” to follow Islamic law in every aspect of his life until he dies and stands before Allah. He has claimed he does not want to subvert the Constitution and mandate Islamic law but that is part of his religion.
Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed is having his words, vows, and religion come back to haunt him. According to The Washington Free Beacon, years ago he declared his sacred “obligation” to follow Islamic law in every aspect of his life until he dies and stands before Allah. This comes from remarks he made to the New York Times back in 2009, when he was younger and buying his first home.
#2 In the supposedly “deep red” state of Mississippi, a hijab-wearing Muslim woman has been sworn in as a municipal judge…
Assma Ali has made history. The daughter of Yemeni immigrants to the United States, Ali is now municipal judge for the City of Benoit, a small town in southwest Bolivar County in the Mississippi Delta.
Ali was sworn in as municipal judge on Aug. 5. She has spent nearly a decade serving as an attorney in Mississippi after graduating with her law degree from Mississippi Christian University (formerly Mississippi College) in 2017 and interned in both Rankin and Madison counties while attending law school.
#3 I know that this is hard to believe, but a bill in the state of Massachusetts would “identify and recommend qualified American Muslims for appointive positions at all levels of government”. Needless to say, this is very unconstitutional…
The radical left just handed another massive victory to the open-borders mob!
In a shocking decision, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals just upheld a ridiculous injunction that literally stops our brave ICE and CBP agents from arresting illegal aliens who are hiding out in “houses of worship.”
Senior Circuit Judge Barbara Milano Keenan, an Obama appointee, wrote the opinion. She was joined by fellow Obama appointee Pamela Harris and Bush appointee G. Steven Agee.
For decades, federal immigration agencies generally restricted enforcement actions at or near houses of worship and other so-called sensitive locations.
The Biden administration’s 2021 policy required prior approval for most operations in protected areas, while preserving exceptions for emergencies, national-security threats, hot pursuit, and other urgent circumstances.
On January 20, 2025, the Trump administration rescinded that framework and told officers to use discretion and a ‘healthy dose of common sense.’ A later ICE directive put case-by-case decisions in the hands of senior field officials.
DHS made its position unmistakable in the public announcement: ‘Criminals will no longer be able to hide in America’s schools and churches to avoid arrest.’ The administration said it would no longer tie the hands of ICE and Border Patrol agents.
Far-left Democrat Michigan U.S. Senate candidate Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed cited the Quran as the inspiration behind his politics and compared himself to Jesus during a podcast interview in May.
El-Sayed — who abides by Sharia law in his personal life — made the comments in an appearance on the The Progressive Christians Podcast, citing Islam as the force behind his politics while also denying attempting to “push a certain ideology.”
El-Sayed said:
One of the most frustrating things is there’s this notion that somehow when Muslims are trying to organize politically, that there’s this effort to push a certain ideology. There’s this verse in the Quran, Lā ikrāha fī d-dīn, which literally means there’s no compulsion on faith. So if you’re not doing a certain thing out of your faith, compelling people to follow a certain set of faith or set of laws out of your faith — like faith is kind of the thing itself.
So there is no compulsion in religion. Your job is to live out your faith, and to try to do so in a way where you’re offering dignity and opportunity to other people — not to compel them to behave in any sort of way, but to try to create a level freedom where people have the right to choose how they want to live their lives, if they want to pray at all, how they want to pray, who they want to love, how they want to engage in the world.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) asked the U.S. Supreme Court on Aug. 17 to review a federal appeals court decision that upheld a Texas law requiring the display of the Ten Commandments in public school classrooms.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit cleared the way in April for the Texas law to take effect.
The state law known as Senate Bill 10, or SB 10, requires that public elementary and secondary schools conspicuously display in classrooms an easily readable poster or framed copy of the Ten Commandments with no additional commentary.
The Fifth Circuit’s 9–8 ruling in Nathan v. Alamo Heights Independent School District raised questions about freedom of religion and how the Supreme Court had ruled on these issues in the past. If the justices agree to hear the case, their potentially landmark ruling could change the legal landscape for how governments deal with religion.
The Fifth Circuit said that the law complied with the U.S. Constitution’s First Amendment.
The Texas law “looks nothing like a historical religious establishment,” because it does not tell houses of worship what to believe, how to worship, or whom to employ, the appeals court said. It does not punish people who reject the Ten Commandments, impose taxes to support the clergy, or require churches to carry out civic functions, the court said.
“These are the kinds of things ‘establishments of religion’ did at the founding. [The Texas law] does none of them,” it said.
The Fifth Circuit also held that a 1980 precedent, Stone v. Graham, which struck down a nearly identical classroom display law, is no longer binding.
The circuit court ruling upholding the Texas statute came after a federal district court preliminarily blocked it, finding the law likely violates both the Constitution’s establishment clause, which forbids the government from favoring one religion over another, and the free exercise clause, which prohibits the government from infringing on worship and other activities. The district judge also found the displays would coerce students and interfere with parents’ rights to direct their children’s religious upbringing.
The challenge in the district court was brought by a group of Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Baha’i, Unitarian Universalist, and nonreligious families. The families argue in the petition that the Texas law violates the Constitution by forcing religion on students, and that the Fifth Circuit misinterpreted Supreme Court precedent.
A former British police officer has been convicted of posting offensive content on Facebook after he reposted an image mocking Islam, sparking accusations that blasphemy laws have returned to the United Kingdom.
A former British police officer has been convicted of posting offensive content on Facebook after he reposted an image mocking Islam, sparking accusations that blasphemy laws have returned to the United Kingdom.
Retired police officer Stephen Gray, 65, has been found guilty by the Newton Aycliffe magistrates’ court of breaching Section 127(1)(a) of the Communications Act 2003 over a post he reshared on Facebook, which was deemed to be “grossly offensive”.
According to The Telegraph, Gray was reported to the Durham Constabulary for two Facebook memes by a non-Muslim neighbour of his, whom Gray had previously been in a separate dispute with.
The first post reported to the police featured the title “time for mass deportations” next to a Middle Eastern man in his 20s or 30s with the words “Children in need”. It was captioned with: “12-year-old Mohammed recently arrived at Dover. Please donate to help him move from a three-star to a five-star hotel, which has a better halal menu, free Wi-Fi, and Sky and is nearer to a girls’ school”.
This post was not deemed by the court to violate the law, as it concerned a political issue that had been debated in Parliament.
The second meme depicted a picture of a man wearing a turban next to some bacon with the caption: “Fun facts about Bacon! People who eat bacon have a lower chance of marrying a 9-year-old!”
As the post was not considered to be a political message, but rather critical of a religion, it was found to be “grossly offensive” by the court. For this, Gray was found guilty of violating the Communications Act and was ordered to pay £1,000 in fines and court costs.
Gray said of the ruling: “I made a joke, an ironic joke, about Islam. That is all it was at the end of the day. A joke. I certainly never, not for one second, thought it would be deemed abusive.”
A Metropolitan Police officer stood on Whitechapel Road surrounded by men who wanted a Christian preacher stopped. One of them gave her his reason plainly: “This is Whitechapel. This is a Muslim area.”
Her answer shouldn’t have required courage.
“In this country, we have freedom of speech.”
From The Standard:
The video, filmed in Whitechapel, shows the officer defending a Christian preacher’s freedom of speech while being surrounded by a group of men.
The encounter, filmed in Whitechapel Road, has been widely shared on social media, and appears to have been shot last Monday, a day before the beginning of Ramadan.
In the footage, uploaded to YouTube channel Auditing Britain, a man holding a Bible can be heard preaching the Gospel just yards from the East London Mosque, one of the largest mosques in Western Europe, accommodating up to 7,000 worshippers for daily prayers.
The officer tells the group: “I understand that you guys don’t want to hear it, so I would just recommend that you walk away and don’t listen to him. He’s not in your home.”
A man wearing a facemask can be seen replying: “This is Whitechapel, this is a Muslim area.”
People are seen yelling at the preacher, with one bearded man shouting: “Talk about Jesus, don’t talk about Muhammad”, and another shouting “Your God is a Jew.”
One man accuses the preacher of “spreading hatred”, alleging that he was calling the Black Stone in the sacred Kaaba building in Mecca “a box”.
The preacher is also physically attacked by one man wearing a black duffel coat and mask, who shoves him in the back, causing him to stumble forward.
The officer continues to defend the preacher, explaining to the group: “In this country we have freedom of speech, the same way you guys have your freedom of speech.
“You guys don’t need to see eye-to-eye, and you don’t need to agree. You’re all more than welcome to stand here and have conversations with them, but they’re not being aggressive.”
She adds: “I understand that you guys don’t want to hear it, so I would recommend that you just move away and don’t listen to him.”
A national religious-liberty legal organization has sent a formal letter to Colorado’s Roaring Fork School District demanding it discontinue its human sexuality curriculum or, at minimum, overhaul how parents are notified and allowed to exclude their children from it.
Alliance Defending Freedom, or ADF, sent the letter Tuesday to the Roaring Fork Schools Board of Education and Superintendent Anna Cole, escalating a dispute over the district’s “3Rs” curriculum – short for Rights, Respect, Responsibility – that has simmered in the Roaring Fork Valley for months.
What ADF is alleging
In the letter and in a subsequent social media statement, ADF argued the curriculum exposes children as young as 5 to graphic and ideologically driven material about human sexuality, including anatomical images that are followed by quizzes asking students to identify body parts such a nipple, vulva, and clitoris. The group also said lessons direct young children to discuss how they like to be touched and to reject a binary understanding of gender.
By sixth grade, according to ADF, students are directed to act as “Sex Ed Sleuths” who research sexual-education websites on their own, with parental permission or involvement only addressed after that research is complete.
The letter goes further in the upper grades. In a seventh-grade lesson titled “I Am Who I Am,” the curriculum teaches students that the idea of choosing one’s sexual orientation or gender identity is a myth, and students are required to affirm that concept on a worksheet, according to ADF.
Eighth graders, the letter states, fill out a separate worksheet rating how “LGBTQ-inclusive” their school is, using measures such as whether the school celebrates Valentine’s Day for LGBTQ couples, displays LGBTQ-themed posters in hallways, and uses the term “parent/guardian” rather than “mom and dad.”
High schoolers complete their own myth-or-fact worksheet affirming that a person cannot change his or her sexual orientation and are instructed to avoid terms like “homosexual” or “straight,” ADF’s letter states. The letter also says the high school curriculum favors gender-inclusive phrasing – using a term for female anatomy in place of “girl or woman” – as part of its approach to gender inclusivity.
ADF’s letter is also sharply critical of how the district structures parental notice and opt-outs. The group alleges Roaring Fork requires only two weeks’ notice before a 3Rs lesson is taught, that some parents receive even less, and that the district’s opt-out process is difficult to find – a paper opt-out letter placed in a student’s take-home folder, paired with a digital version the letter says is often buried among other announcements on the Remind app and labeled generically as “health education,” which obscures its content from parents. ADF argues this system was deliberately designed to preserve high participation rates rather than to give parents a genuine choice, contrasting it with the district’s own stated goal of ensuring students have access to health education.
The letter cites the case of a Crystal River Elementary School parent whose kindergartner brought home the “Understanding Our Bodies” lesson plan in January 2026. According to ADF, the opt-out form included in the folder did not specify a lesson date, only stating the lesson would occur “the following month,” and did not include the graphic slides that would accompany the lesson.
The school listed the curriculum under different names in different places, ADF’s letter states, referring to it as “Comprehensive Health Curriculum” in the take-home folder and simply “Health Curriculum” in a monthly online newsletter – where the announcement was mixed in with other school news and required parents to click through a link in the Remind app to find it.
ADF, which describes itself as the world’s largest legal organization focused on religious freedom, free speech, and parental rights, framed the core issue as a constitutional one: automatic enrollment in the lessons, combined with what it called inconsistent notice to parents and, in some cases, no meaningful opportunity to opt children out.
Eman Abdelhadi, half-sister of Michigan’s Democratic candidate for Senate, Abdul El-Sayed, is a hater.
She hates America. She hates white people. She hates the University of Chicago, where she’s an associate professor in the school’s Department of Comparative Human Development. She hates Democratic moderates.
She also hates ICE with the virulence of a true believer and the ignorance of a left-wing radical. During protests against ICE performing its lawful function of enforcing immigration law in a suburb of Chicago, she helped instigate a riot and, during the melee, spit on a state trooper and then resisted arrest.
Before her arrest at the ICE riot in July 2025, Abdelhadi made headlines for cursing out her employer at the Socialism 2025 conference. The conference describes itself as bringing thousands of “radical activists from around the country to take part in discussions about social movements, abolition, Marxism, decolonization, working-class history, and the debates and strategies for organizing today.”
Abdelhadi had some very nasty things to say about the University of Chicago.
“F**k the University of Chicago, it’s evil, you know it’s a colonial landlord. Like, why would I put any of my political energy into this space? I kind of had a little bit of disdain for people who spent their time doing that,” she said.
So why in the wide, wide world of sports is she working there?
“Turns out, I work at one of the biggest employers in the city of Chicago. I work at a place that is a landlord, a healthcare provider, a police force, f**k that s**t, but they are, and a place where I have access to thousands of people that I could potentially organize… actually, this is where I need to build power. That’s possible structural leverage,” she said.
Mkay. So why are you working there?
It gets much weirder. Washington Free Beacon reports Abdelhadi is the author of the “funky, commie, queer novel” Everything for Everyone: An Oral History of the New York Commune alongside her “bestie,” coauthor M.E. O’Brien, a “trans communist” who wrote the 2023 book Family Abolition: Capitalism and the Communizing of Care.
Eeek.
“The novel is a fictionalized ‘oral history’ of ‘sex workers, antifascist militants, and survivors of all stripes’ who band together to create a ‘radically new social order forged in the ashes of capitalist collapse.'”
