- Several
months after the New York Times published its
hagiography of Shashaa, he was arrested for physically
assaulting his third wife, who was hospitalized with a broken
nose and shoulder. "The attack was obviously very
brutal," a hospital spokesperson said at the time.
"What a man does with his wife does not concern the
authorities," Shashaa said.
- Spanish
High Court Judge Eloy Velasco ordered Shashaa — who lives in a
10,000 square meter (108,000 square foot) mansion in
Teulada-Moraira, a small coastal town on Spain's Mediterranean
coast, with his four wives and 18 children — to be held in
prison without bail.
- Spanish
authorities are now investigating the source of Shashaa's
wealth. His mosque in Munich was shuttered in October 2015 due
to financial difficulties, while the mansion he purchased in
Spain in February 2015 is said to be worth more than half a
million euros.
- More
than two weeks after Shashaa was arrested, the New York
Times still has not reported on the fate of its poster boy
for Salafist pacifism.

Spanish authorities have arrested a Muslim cleric —
whom the New York Times once praised for his efforts to
fight radicalization within Germany's Islamic community — for
alleged ties to the Islamic State.
Hesham Shashaa (aka Abu Adam), a 46-year-old
Egyptian-Palestinian, was detained near Alicante in southeastern
Spain on April 26 on charges of aiding the Islamic State, extolling
terrorism and promoting Salafi-jihadism.
The Spanish Interior Ministry said that Shashaa had
facilitated the travel to Spain of Islamic State jihadists from
Syria and Iraq by providing them with money, refuge and fake
documents.
Most recently, Shashaa had made arrangements for two
jihadists — who are the subjects of international arrest warrants
for their membership of the Islamic State — to travel from Turkey
to Spain by providing them with false passports.

- The
UN report and Erdogan's rhetoric both evidently expresses the
Muslim world's thoughts about what it apparently thinks should
be the fate of Israel and Europe. So far, not a single Muslim
state has condemned or opposed Erdogan's aggression against
Judeo-Christian civilization.
- The
enemy is already inside the gates; many European regimes seem
unaware that there is even a threat.
- The
logic of much of Europe's religious and political community
seems to be that if the elephant in the room is spoken to
nicely and made to look cute and adorable, people will not
think of it as a threat to their safety.

The Western world can no longer ignore the problem
of the latest the elephant in the room: Islamic imperialism. Europe
has come to such a state of free speech trials, threats of
censorship or, out of fear, self-censorship, that it seems to
prefer putting the safety of its citizens at risk than admit that
this elephant exists.
