Mehdi Hasan to American Christians: “If You Can Have Your Church Bell, We Can Have Our Islamic Prayer Call”– gellerreport.com

The Islamic call to prayer is a declaration of the superiority of Islam, a religion that directs its believers to make war against Christians and other non-Muslims and subjugate them as inferiors under the hegemony of believers (cf. Qur’an 9:29).

The adhan (Islamic call to prayer), prayed in Arabic, repeats “Allahu akbar” six times, “I testify that there is no god but Allah” three times, and “I testify that Muhammad is Allah’s prophet” twice. (Robert Spencer)

On its face, one cannot liken the shrill abrasion of the nails-on-chalkboard adhan to the ethereal grandeur of symphonic church bells. But more specifically, church bells have no verbal content. And church bells are rung one or twice a week, the Islamic call to prayer is broadcast five times a day at deafening levels beginning pre-dawn.

Not to mention what the cries of “Allahu akbar” evokes.

BUDAPEST, Hungary — BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — Thousands of Hungarians congregated on the streets of Budapest on Thursday in a show of force on behalf of their leader, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, who six months ahead of parliamentary elections looks set to face the most competitive ballot in his 15 years in power.

The gathering, dubbed a “peace march” by organizers, came on Hungary’s Oct. 23 national holiday, a remembrance of a failed anti-Soviet uprising in 1956 that was crushed by the Red Army. Marchers shouted slogans backing Orbán and his message that Hungary is at risk of becoming directly involved in Russia’s war in Ukraine.

Canadian Justice Minister Sean Fraser admitted that his new “hate crime” bill would indeed allow a person to be criminally charged for social media posts deemed offensive by the government. 

Recently asked about Bill C-9, the Combating Hate Act, Fraser said the bill would indeed apply to certain online content that involves the “willful promotion of hatred.”

“Generally speaking, the law will apply equally online as it does in real communities,” he said, adding, “just in the limited circumstances where there is the willful promotion of hatred against someone.”

Student protesters labeled economics Professor Michael Ben-Gad a ‘terrorist’

Hundreds of scholars world-wide are backing an economics professor at the University of London after a pro-Palestinian student group called for him to be fired and labeled him a “terrorist” due to his service in the Israeli military.

A petition launched Tuesday in support of Professor Michael Ben-Gad has about 1,100 signatures from professors in the United States, Canada, Chile, Australia, and other countries.

The petition opposes the “targeted harassment campaign” by the Association of Student Activism for Palestine and City Action for Palestine against the Israeli professor. Ben-Gad also has ties to the U.S. He formerly taught at the University of Houston in Texas and serves on the U.S. National Academy of Sciences panel on the Economic and Fiscal Impacts of Immigration.

On Tuesday, October 14, 2025, Madelyne Arrowood and Lillee Dent were tabling at Abilene Christian University’s Wildcat Central campus center on behalf of their organization ACU for Life when they encountered opposition from a source they didn’t expect.

According to ACU’s website, “Wildcat Central provides tables in the McGlothlin Campus Center for on-campus groups and outside organizations seeking to advertise, demonstrate, collect information or provide resources to ACU students on campus.” On ACU for Life’s table was a handwritten sign that read, “Abortion is Murder. Disagree? Let’s talk.” While the students were expecting their sign to generate discussion, they never thought that discussion would be with ACU’s own faculty.

Russia said Thursday that new U.S. sanctions on its oil industry risked hurting diplomatic efforts to end the Ukraine war, and that it had developed a “strong immunity” to them.

U.S. President Donald Trump announced new sanctions on Russia’s two largest oil companies on Wednesday, complaining that his peace talks with Russia’s Vladimir Putin were not going “anywhere.”

Trump held off introducing new restrictions against Russia for months, but his patience snapped after plans for a fresh summit with Putin in Budapest collapsed.

Charlie Kirk’s killing last month has sparked fears that the United States is headed to an all-out second civil war or revolution. According to a YouGov survey earlier this year, “more Americans than not believe it is likely that the United States will see a civil war over the next decade” while several hundred political scientists and historians in an April 2025 survey saw the U.S. slipping into authoritarianism with Trump’s second term. Trump’s deployment of the military at home, combined with his vow to suppress “the enemy within” while his domestic advisor, Stephen Miller labels the Democratic Party a domestic extremist organization, can easily be seen as setting the stage for an authoritarian takeover.

Russia has been subjected to a blistering assault from a new type of Ukrainian missile, affectionately named the Flamingo.

This formidable cruise missile can carry a payload of 1,150kg, making it one of the largest missiles of its kind globally, and boasts a range of 3,000km, nearly double that of the fearsome Tomahawk missiles. This development comes as Trump seems hesitant to supply any US missiles.

Ukrainian weapons manufacturer Fire Point, the brains behind this creation, claim it can land within a mere 14 metres of its intended target.

Speaking to reporters after a meeting with a bipartisan group of senators on Capitol Hill, the Nato secretary general Mark Rutte said that he had “complete confidence” in Donald Trump’s ability to broker peace between Ukraine and Russia. He evaded a question about whether he was concerned that the president has persuaded Volodymyr Zelenskyy to “go softer” on Russia.

“He is the only one that can get this done,” Rutte said. “You have a president with a lot of experience because of his first term in office, and who has a clear vision on bringing this war to a durable and lasting end.”

Rutte will meet with Trump in a few hours. “We will discuss further how we from Nato can be helpful in delivering his vision of getting a full-scale peace in Ukraine, which, of course, we all pray for after his enormous success in Gaza,” Rutte said earlier.

British police will get stronger powers to restrict repeated protests, the government said Sunday, after almost 500 people were arrested at a demonstration in support of a banned pro-Palestinian group.

The Home Office said police forces will be able to consider the “cumulative impact of frequent protests” on local areas when they impose conditions on marches and demonstrations.

“The right to protest is a fundamental freedom in our country,” Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood said. “However, this freedom must be balanced with the freedom of their neighbors to live their lives without fear. Large, repeated protests can leave sections of our country, particularly religious communities, feeling unsafe, intimidated and scared to leave their homes.”
