Footage of life in the city of Aleppo, Syria, when the Christian population was 40% in 1956.

The more Islam is allowed to spread.

The more disgusting everything gets.

I will not be silenced by Muslim MPs over my criticism of Islamic practices that have no place in Britain.

[Visegrád 24 @visegrad24]

Palestinian doctor from Gaza gives advice on wife beating: “It should be a therapeutic beating rather than vindictive. This should be done only if the wife doesn’t adjust her behavior following the husband shouting at her or denying her sex.”

This is the misogyny that many far-left activists and radical feminists defend, and welcome into the West with open arms.

@lamapower365093 @visegrad24 @noremorse100 @FIFAcom The fact that the Sunni Arabs who run Egypt persecute the 10M Coptics who live there. In addition to kidnapping and raping Coptic girls, they don’t let Coptic boys play soccer

That’s what he’s yapping about, bitch

[Visegrád 24 @visegrad24]

Since all eyes are on the Egyptian team today, it’s worth reminding the world that Christians are practically banned from playing top level football in Egypt.

Despite being 10% of the population, only two Christians have played the national team in the past 36 years. Not a single one has played for Egypt since 2003.

The former Ajax striker Mido said in 2018 that the discrimination is obvious and that only 5 Christians have ever plaid in Egypt’s top clubs. He suggested a 10% quota for Copts should be introduced in all clubs to end the discrimination.

Ironically, the Egyptian coach made the new “X for racism-sign” recently introduced by FIFA during today’s game to signal to the referee that the Egyptian team was experiencing racism.

But religious discrimination has clearly never bothered him.

FIFA has also been unwilling to do anything about the longstanding issue of severe underrepresentation and systemic discrimination against Christians at youth, club and national levels in Egypt.

Christians are effectively excluded in practice, with virtually none reaching the senior national team or top domestic clubs in recent decades.

The exception is Hany Ramzy. The a Christian defender who earned 120+ caps for Egypt in the 1990s and early 2000s.

Estimates suggest that fewer than a dozen Copts have played at the highest domestic level in the last 50+ years.

Multiple independent reports, player testimonies and comments from figures like Coptic Pope Tawadros II and Muslim former player Ahmed Hossam (“Mido”) have highlighted the discrimination:

- Youth trials and club signings where Christian names lead to rejection or pressure to change to a Muslim-sounding name.

- Stories of players hiding tattoos (the common Coptic cross on the wrist) or identity in their efforts to advance.

- Similar underrepresentation is also noticeable in other sports (zero Copts in Egypt’s 2016 Rio Olympics delegation of 122 athletes)

The Egyptian coach made a big point of flying the Palestinian flag in the World Cup and keeps repeating “Free Palestine.”

Yet, he has never spoken about the fact that Egypt didn’t give sovereignty to the Palestinians in Gaza when Egypt was occupying it 1948-1967. Likewise, while he won’t stop claiming that there is discrimination of Muslims in Israel, he refuses to acknowledge the religious discrimination in Egyptian football.

Aquí nadie discute la calidad de Argentina, ni la grandeza de Messi, ni que sean campeones del mundo. Eso no está en discusión.

Lo que sí está en discusión es el arbitraje y el VAR.
A Egipto le anulan un gol retrocediendo varias acciones para encontrar una falta anterior. Perfecto: si ese es el criterio, entonces debe aplicarse para los dos equipos.

Pero antes del tercer gol argentino, Egipto reclama una falta en el área argentina. La jugada continúa y Argentina termina marcando. ¿Por qué allí el VAR no actúa con la misma rigurosidad?
Eso es lo que cuestiono: dos jugadas, dos criterios diferentes.
Y cuando estas cosas ocurren en un Mundial, inevitablemente aparecen las sospechas sobre la FIFA y sobre cuánto puede influir el VAR en el desarrollo del fútbol.

Argentina no necesita favores. Tiene fútbol, jugadores y calidad suficiente para ganar por sí misma.
Pero el fútbol se decide por detalles, y hoy los detalles arbitrales generan demasiadas preguntas.

Egipto hizo un partido extraordinario. Fue superior durante grandes momentos y obligó a Argentina a sufrir hasta el final.
Los goles argentinos pueden ser legítimos y bien ejecutados, pero eso no elimina la pregunta principal:

¿Por qué el VAR aplicó un criterio para Egipto y otro para Argentina? El fútbol necesita una sola vara para todos.
Porque cuando la tecnología deja de dar certezas y comienza a generar sospechas, el que pierde no es solamente Egipto. Pierde el fútbol.

Bibi Netanyahu told Fox News that some Lebanese Christian villages have asked Israel to annex them.

I believe it. I lived in Lebanon for 15 years and know how many Christians dream of being annexed by Israel. They are tired of being part of the Islamized Lebanese state.

Being single is cheaper for men. Being in a relationship is cheaper for women. Marriage is where a man starts carrying the real financial weight. Since he is carrying all that responsibility, the least you can offer is peace.

According to the Jerusalem Post, a major plan to topple the Iranian regime using Kurdish forces, backed by Israeli air support was ready.

Trump vetoed it at the last minute.

Israeli sources accuse JD Vance of leaking the entire operation to Erdogan.

A 41-year-old Vice President with zero experience in the region decided he knew better than seasoned strategists who have fought the Islamic Republic for decades.

This is not a policy disagreement.

This is a serious betrayal.

Machine-Gun Sun! More than 5 storms on their way to Earth and 3 of them offer good chances for aurora views. NOAA and NASA model predictions do not show all the storms yet (it's hard to keep up with the rapid-fire storm launches!) but the first should hit before noon July 3 UTC. Once they hit, expect G2+ level conditions, if the magnetic orientation of the storms are conducive for aurora. The NASA model is a composite showing several sets of storms lasting through July 6 UTC. My 3D solar storm visualizer runs are available for these events. I will post links for them momentarily.
