We know what’s coming and we are prepared.
A court in Vienna has caused a storm after confirming that a financial ruling based on Islamic law, or Sharia, is legally valid in Austria.
Critics say the judgment opens the door to “parallel justice” and undermines the country’s legal system.
The case began when two Muslim men agreed that any disputes between them would be settled by an Islamic arbitration panel using Sharia rules.
When a disagreement arose, the tribunal ordered one of them to pay €320,000. He refused, arguing that Sharia is open to different interpretations and goes against Austria’s core values.
But the Vienna Regional Court dismissed his appeal. Judges said Austrian law allows people to choose arbitration systems for financial and property disputes, as long as the result does not break Austria’s “fundamental legal values.”
The court added that it was not its role to examine whether Sharia itself was fair, but only whether the outcome contradicted Austrian law.
The ruling has sparked fierce criticism. Manfred Haimbuchner, deputy governor of Upper Austria and a leading figure in the right-wing Freedom Party (FPÖ), warned:
Sharia is incompatible with our basic values. This is another example of our legal system being powerless against the creeping influence of Islam.
He pointed out that Sharia includes punishments such as stoning and allows the beating of women, saying: “It can never be reconciled with our understanding of law.”
Another FPÖ politician, Andreas Bors, called the ruling “absolute madness” and said:
Austria is a Christian and Western state under the rule of law. That rule of law must never be undermined by parallel justice or religious legal systems such as Sharia.
Even the Turkish Cultural Association (TKG) expressed concern. In a statement, it said the ruling violated EU treaties, and it pointed to a 2003 decision by the European Court of Human Rights, which found that Sharia is incompatible with human rights law.
The group argued the Vienna decision could lead to “a strong interference in today’s secular economy, and tomorrow in rules for trade, sales, and services.”
Commentators in Austrian media have warned that the case could set a dangerous precedent.
The conservative outlet Exxpress called it a “grotesque” symptom of the EU’s failed migration policies, and said the judgment sends the wrong signal about integration. “Austria is not an Islamic state,” the outlet wrote, warning that allowing Sharia in contracts undermines trust in democracy and the rule of law.
Although the court said its decision only applies to property disputes, opponents fear it will encourage the wider use of Sharia-based agreements in Austria.

Two of the largest private surveillance networks in America just teamed up. Amazon's Ring and Flock Safety have officially partnered. Here's what that means:
- The AI powered cameras that track your car on the street can now ask your neighbor's Ring doorbell for video of you
- They're connecting the street to your front door, creating one massive searchable surveillance network for the police
This isn't theory. 404 Media has already reported that ICE and the Secret Service have access to the Flock Network.

🚷 🇺🇸 Trump has deported 540,000 people, fewer than in either of Biden's last 2 years. But Biden deportations focused on the border, now mainly shut. Trump has targeted those in the country and has removed 230,000 of them, more than Biden in 4 years.
Homeland security officials have claimed that more than 2.5 million people have since left the country because of the administration’s crackdown. Immigration experts and demographers have disputed that figure.
A recent report from the Congressional Budget Office says that while the undocumented population decreased by about 360,000 people last year, the overall foreign-born population increased by about 400,000 in 2025. A different study estimated a decrease of between 10,000 and 295,000 in the total foreign-born population in 2025.
Arrests at jails and prisons went up over the past year, but the increase was far exceeded by the growth in what ICE calls “at-large” arrests, the apprehensions of immigrants on the streets, in ...
Technocrats War on Farms is Winning: Farmers scale back Acres in 2026
Top Georgia grower Alex Harrell—just slashed 3,000 acres, cutting his operation in HALF for 2026: “We’re literally PAYING to farm—not getting paid.”
Fertilizer/chemicals still sky-high, commodity prices in the tank == irrigated land already left unplanted in 2025, & MUCH more bare ground coming.
Generational farmers quitting, bankruptcies surging, cropland going idle. This is an engineered consolidation of the food supply: fewer independent growers = more control over your food.

"When fertilizer, chemical, and machinery costs go up 300% over a short span of time, everything is upside down, especially when commodities go in the tank."
Guys are quitting and walking away, and that eventually leads to land that doesn’t get picked up … Cropland with no crop."

Support local growers...

👮♂️ 🇺🇸 Tech workers say they were mistaken for ICE agents, accosted by anti-ICE mob
What began as a casual lunch between five Twin Cities software engineers quickly escalated into a frightening encounter after the men were misidentified as undercover federal agents and protesters were alerted to the Minneapolis restaurant where they were dining.
Alpha News obtained video and spoke with one of the men, Lee, a software engineer from Plymouth, who described how the situation unfolded.
Lee said the group was eating lunch at Clancy’s Deli, near 38th Street and Grand Avenue South, when one of the men — who belongs to an anti-ICE Signal chat — received a message from a group labeled “SW Minneapolis Rapid Response” claiming that plainclothes ICE agents were dining at the restaurant.
“My friend was shocked,” Lee said. “He’s on the [anti-ICE] side politically. He lives nearby. He’s eaten there before. And suddenly he’s seeing messages saying we’re ICE.”
