A 29-year-old Turkish migrant living in Germany refused to sit next to a woman on a flight because of Sharia law, then punched or slapped the female flight attendant who dared to confront him.

According to BILD, the suspect was arrested after the June 1 flight landed in Düsseldorf.

Police say witnesses told investigators the man refused to remain in his assigned seat because it was next to a woman, claiming his actions were based on Sharia law.

When a female flight attendant approached him in an effort to defuse the situation, the passenger allegedly punched or slapped her in the face, according to police.

German Federal Police took the suspect into custody immediately after the aircraft landed. Authorities say he later admitted to assaulting the flight attendant during questioning.

The incident reportedly escalated further during police questioning when the suspect allegedly insulted officers in Turkish, apparently unaware that one of the federal officers understood the language. He now faces charges related to both the alleged assault and insulting law enforcement officers.

Sharia law has zero legal standing in Germany. Yet this migrant felt entitled to impose it mid-flight and then attack a woman who wouldn’t accommodate his demands.

Initial reports incorrectly identified the aircraft as belonging to Turkish Airlines. The airline later clarified that the incident did not occur on one of its flights, according to the New York Post.

The Gateway Pundit has repeatedly documented the growing assertiveness of Sharia attitudes across Europe: no-go zones, parallel societies, honor-based violence, and the steady erosion of women’s safety in public spaces.

From Cologne’s mass sexual assaults to street patrols enforcing Islamic dress codes, the pattern is clear. When authorities refuse to enforce assimilation and instead prioritize multicultural dogma, these incidents become routine rather than shocking.

Western women are expected to accommodate medieval religious demands on airplanes, in schools, and on city streets. Flight attendants, teachers, and everyday female passengers are left to deal with the consequences while politicians and media soft-pedal the cultural and religious roots of the problem.

Nine people were injured early Sunday morning in an overnight shooting outside the Reign Event Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota. 

The nine victims ranged in age between 18 and 27. Two men, 20 and 21, were taken to the hospital with life-threatening injuries but are expected to survive.

No arrests have been made as of Sunday evening as the investigation remains ongoing.

Minneapolis Police Chief Bill Peterson said during a press conference that the investigation “remains in its early stages, and we are committed to identifying every single person responsible.”

Reporting suggests there was a confrontation outside the venue, but police don’t yet know whether it was a drive-by or the suspect was on foot, nor whether there were multiple shooters.

Police from all five Minneapolis precincts responded to the scene shortly before 12:30 a.m.

More from KARE 11:

Left-wing Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey called for more police to be on the street, a break from the Democrats’ typical defund the police and anti-gun sentiment.

“This is a stark reminder that keeping our streets safe requires every tool available,” Frey said in a statement, CBS reports.

We need partnerships where the perpetrators of these acts are arrested and prosecuted, we need to continue hiring more police officers to both investigate and prevent gun crimes, and we must embrace proven technologies from drones to ShotSpotter that allow our police to do their jobs with greater efficiency.”

The Minneapolis Police Department shared the latest update at a news conference this afternoon.

Lettuce grown in central Mexico that was used by multiple Taco Bell locations has been identified as the source of a Cyclospora outbreak that has sickened Americans across the country.

A recall of the lettuce was announced by Taylor Farms, which posted a notice on the website of the Food and Drug Administration.

“The company has stopped receiving product from the implicated lot, suspended distribution of the iceberg lettuce from Central Mexico, notified our customers, and we are continuing to work with the FDA, CDC, and state authorities,” Taylor Farms wrote in its notice.

The FDA notice listed the multiple brand names under which the affected lettuce is being recalled.

The notice indicated that products being recalled were sold in 27 states — Alabama, Arkansas, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and Wisconsin.

The products had “best if used by dates” from July 16 through Aug. 3.

The Washington Post reported that on Friday, federal investigators said that one supplier of iceberg lettuce from Mexico shipped lettuce to Taco Bell restaurants in Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, and West Virginia.

Taco Bell Corp. said Friday it had removed all impacted Taylor Farms lettuce from its restaurants.

The FDA noted that 1,644 people infected with Cyclospora said they had eaten at a Taco Bell in those five states.

Other companies were also taking precautions. Sysco, a major food supplier, has stopped distributing any Taylor Farms processed iceberg from Mexico, The Washington Post reported.

“We will continue to actively monitor the situation and work with regulators as needed,” a Sysco representative said.

“Food safety is a critical priority for Sysco, and we have robust food safety and quality assurance processes to help ensure the safety and quality of all the products we sell.”

Cyclospora contamination comes from human feces, according to Matthew Moore, a food scientist at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst.

He suggested tainted irrigation water used on crops could be linked to the outbreak.

“The fact that human fecal material is finding its way into the food is definitely striking,” he told The Washington Post. “There’s so much lettuce in this country.”

Here is a BRILLIANT video created by American Nightmare on X.

The video collage includes dozens of Democrats claiming the 2016 election was stolen – many blame this on Russia, Russia, Russia.

They all knew it was a lie but pushed this wicked narrative anyway.

America suffered for years as Democrats and the fake news pushed this nonsense on the American people.

Notice that these are the same liars that downplayed the 2020 election fraud.

These are the same liars that are sooo worried about the truth coming out that they refused to air President Trump’s speech on their channels.

What horrible people.

As seen first at The War Room.

Police body camera footage from the University of Central Florida last year is blowing up on the internet due to the absurdity police had to deal with from a so-called transgender student.

The now viral incident occurred in February 2025 but has resurfaced.

An officer, seen in the video below, walks into a campus building, where he encounters a blue-haired student, who has been identified as 27-year-old Jarrett Vick. “Why do you let those kids get away with this? They are not supposed to be here,” Vick screams at the officer, sparking the incident.

The cop, who said he was on campus for a stolen vehicle investigation, then threatened to put him in cuffs and take him to a Baker Act facility for psychiatric hold, and Vick said, “f*cking try it.”

The officer then called for backup to deal with the unhinged student, and upon saying over the radio, “he’s having a breakdown,” things escalated with Vick screaming, “She! She! Just say the right pronouns!”

“What’d you say?” the officer responded as he pulled out a can of mace and started chasing Vick around the room.

Eventually, a second officer arrived, and the police placed Vick, who forcefully resisted and appeared to attack officers,  under arrest.

During the nearly four-minute struggle, Vick continued resisting until he was ultimately tased and thrown to the ground. He still refused to give the officers his other hand as they tried to cuff him.

After getting him into the police car, the police are seen debriefing and noting that Vick threw punches and kicks at the officers while resisting. They further discussed using the Baker Act against him, which would allow them to involuntarily commit him. “He’s gonna need some care,” an officer said. “He’s gonna need some care. There’s something wrong, and he definitely can’t be with the gen pop. They will destroy him.”

The police body camera footage was published by Inside The Blue TV.

WATCH:

According to the New York Post, the suspect faced multiple charges and was listed as a male in arrest records. He told the Post that he was “f–king harassed by the cops.”

More from the Post:

Approached by The Post, Vick said that he was being “f–king harassed by the cops,” and blamed them for him now “being harassed by the media.”

Vick, of Treasure Island, Florida, was charged with battery on law enforcement, resisting arrest, and disorderly conduct on Feb. 5, 2025, according to court records.

Vick pleaded not guilty on all three charges, and his last court appearance was dated Jan. 16, although the cases were marked as closed according to Orange County records.

A mugshot showing Vick without the blue wig also appears in Orange County court records.
