      hey Elliot. as all of america is watching this, maybe one of your stupid followers can remind you that there is much more worse shit happening in the USA and you aint there to help. why is that? is it that you maybe feel more comfy to harass people who wont shoot you in the face? could it be that? ahahahahhaa. what kind of a moron goes to foreign places and tells people to go back where they came from, checking them for ID. the American Karen moron type of person. btw the people joining you also happen to not know what xenophobia means. would ask you to teach them as you are a pro, but................ so fucking dumb xD xD

      Romanians are great immigrants mate. I have met countless across Spain. They work very hard and speak both Spanish and English. These particular ones don’t represent Romanians but the truth is that they had Romanian IDs and if the EU allows it, more will continue to keep doing this, and it’s a shame.

      @@danziger9996 The same happens in Spain. People mistake good hard working and respectable Romanians with gypsies. And the truth is there is little in common. Two very different ethnicities and social behaviour.
      Unfortunately people mistake the two as the same and specially tourist who become victim to the latter, don't know that they were robbed, mugged or assulted by gypsies but mistake them for Romanians, other east Europeans or even spaniards.
      The laws of the land make it easy for these people to literally get away with murder. And they take advantage of it along with the hapless lack of distinction form the tourist.

      @@newmankidman5763 The people in this video we were told are pickpockets have been previously arrested on that charge and fined. They were initially photographed upon being arrested - that’s how they were able to be identified for this video.
      Mug shots here in the states are accessible by the general public, too. A good example is how the faces of registered sex offenders is circulated in any neighborhood they move to so people can identify those perpetrators and avoid them.
      Same principle.
      You’ll note how many of the women were wearing sunglasses on an overcast day, and several covered their heads (I presume these are the more notorious ones). The scarf head coverings aren’t just a disguise: they’re meant to fool people into thinking they are modest, circumspect, God-fearing individuals - so when you’re “bumped” by them, rather than being suspicious, you’ll feel bad.
      I can’t imagine why you’re worried for their rights: two of the women were laughing about being identified - they truly have no conscience. They have no compunction stealing from anyone oblivious to their activities - and they don’t give a hoot whether they ruin your once-in-a-lifetime vacation.
      The Roma (otherwise known as gypsies) are hugely predatory to those outside their culture - who they view as dogs. The reason gypsies were nomadic is because after they’d prey upon a village, they were cast out and compelled to move elsewhere to find a fresh unsuspecting population.
      As you saw, they use a similar technique today: they travel from afar into popular destinations to find victims. If they’re caught, they’re unlikely to suffer a penalty because they try to target tourists vs. locals, and they’re long gone by the time a victim discovers their money, phones, jewelry, etc. has been lifted.

      @islamisthetruewaytogod6812 8 месяцев назад

      Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way) don't help either. Thank you very much for your time.
      First of all, if you have any questions regarding Islam and yourself, just open the Quran randomly, and you will find the answer in front of you, like a miracle and a sign from God.

      Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them).
      Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him.

      Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way) don't help either. Thank you very much for your time.
      First of all, if you have any questions regarding Islam and yourself, just open the Quran randomly, and you will find the answer in front of you, like a miracle and a sign from God.

      Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them).
      Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI).

The number of victims was absolutely shocking. They always brought the subject up as a warning to me once they realized I was a female solo traveler. I was extremely thankful for the warnings and exceptionally lucky as I had a couple of close encounters with large groups of thieves but never became a victim. Keep up the good work!

    Thank you for what you're doing! My husband and I saw an old guy while waiting at a train station in Florence being pickpocketed by another elder guy who had a sling in his one arm. Being tourists, my husband's first time in Italy at that time, he never thought a seemingly disabled guy in a suit wearing with a necktie was actually a thief. We couldn't warn the victim because apparently we heard these thieves could follow you and attack. We felt helpless. A lot of the thieves are gypsies, some carrying babies, and pretending to ask for alms. Since finding out about pickpocketers in Europe, we start scanning our passport and important travel documents and emailing to ourselves, making a few copies that we put separately in several bags and luggage. We put our wallets and passports in a flat pouch wrapped around the body (not hanging like a necklace) and tucked under our shirts. If we need to pay, we would use our jackets or sweaters or our bodies as cover to discretely get our money or credit card. We also prefer to use less cash instead just 2 credit cards that we can cancel anytime if it's stolen. We just carry backpacks to put snacks and water and maybe medicines. Europe is beautiful but we also need to be extra careful and be aware of our surroundings and always be alert while enjoying the sights.

      Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI).
      Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).
      Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning!
      Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.
      Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement.
      It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.
      (19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad)..
      God said : Say, “We believe in Allah, and in what was revealed to us, and in what was revealed to Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs, and in what was given to Moses and Jesus, and in what was given to the prophets from their Lord. We do not differentiate between any of them. And to Him, we surrender.”
      (2:136 / Translated by Community)

    I live in Paris and have never been robbed by pickpockets. I grew up near Detroit, Michigan and am always vigilant. My French husband , on the other hand, has had his sunglasses removed from his head and lost other things.
    No one comes within a few feet of me, without my watching them.
    Took my mother on the Metro in Paris about 20 years ago, and told her to keep her purse in front of and her hand firmly on it. Then noticed this kids dancing around her, as she stood and screamed, in English, "Thieves on the train", because my mother's zipper was half open.
    They jumped off at the next stop , but someone managed to grab the backpack off of one of them.

    My first morning in Paris (1982) I was accosted by a group of little gypsy kids who surrounded me and I had no idea what they were all chattering about. They were carrying large paper signs and pushing them up against me. One unzipped my camera bag and stole my purse which was on the top and then they all fled as quickly as they had shown up into a waiting Taxi probably driven by their parent. I spent a full day having to get a new passport and all of my travelers checks reassigned. The US Embassy treated me like I was the criminal doubting my story as I told it. It was an absolute nightmare and now I know. Good for the citizens going after these miscreants and thanks for filming it!

    Thank you for exposing these creeps. I was in Paris many years ago and more than half my group got pickpocketed, all of us were attempted pick-pocketed. Yup. The pick-pockets never got money from me, 'cause I was very vigilant. Steal from a grocery store if you are hungry, but don't steal from individuals on the street. Be careful, as I also warned some German tourists on the metro in Paris, France about pickpockets (who are mostly Moroccan). The Moroccan pickpockets then physically attacked me when I exited the metro train onto the platform. The pickpockets are always in groups. One way to avoid the pickpockets in Paris is to ride the bus, not the metro. The bus is much nicer, you can look out the window and see the scenery, and no stinky crowds to deal with, and a bus driver to help you if you need it.

      Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way) don't help either. Thank you very much for your time.
      First of all, if you have any questions regarding Islam and yourself, just open the Quran randomly, and you will find the answer in front of you, like a miracle and a sign from God.

      Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them).
      Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI).
      Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy.
      Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
      Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI).
      Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).
      Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning!
      Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.
      Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement.
      It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.
      (19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad)..
      God said : Say, “We believe in Allah, and in what was revealed to us, and in what was revealed to Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs, and in what was given to Moses and Jesus, and in what was given to the prophets from their Lord. We do not differentiate between any of them. And to Him, we surrender.”
      (2:136 / Translated by Community)

      My wife and I boarded a tram in Rome after arriving from the airport. The tram wasn't crowded, but a gypsy holding a baby was standing suspiciously close to my wife. I approached the gypsy and peered under her baby. The gypsy was holding my wife's pink purse. I made a commotion and the gypsy dropped the purse. I picked it up. The gypsy alighted at the next stop. That was enough to alert me of this danger. I now keep my wallet in my front pocket with a cord attached to a loop I have installed in the right pocket of all of my trousers.

And there's no way to win legitimately because they use slight of hand to remove the pea in the first place, so there's no pea under the cup at all when you play!! So no way to win.

    Paris needs this movement. Got attacked by 4 guys on the metro a few months ago and they took my phone right out of my front pocket (I had my hand in there but they distracted me for a few seconds). They are pretty sophisticated with fishing sites and such. Police and security couldn’t do anything. I was with friends and it still happened. We have pictures of the thieves and shared with police. I hope that people are more careful with the Summer Olympics coming up. Glad you’re doing this because I reached out to so called “influencers” and news channels to do a short bit to warn people and none gave a crap. Perhaps only when it happens to them that they start caring.

      @@3l3llala13this was at the Concorde station around 3 PM this past early December. My two friends and I just finished a walking tour and ended at the gardens next to the Louvre. We visited the Xmas market there before heading to Montmartre. Went to the station, got our tickets, got to platform and a guy was looking at me. Didn’t think anything of it. When metro came, we got in line in front of the door. The same guy was getting at the next door but then went over to where we were trying to squeeze in. I had my hands in my front pockets like I always do on trains and buses. They squeezed my friends out and didn’t allow them to get on. They crowded me on the metro creating the illusion that it was crowded. I was going to move down towards the next door where it was more empty or get off and take the next one with my friends when they made space and allowed my friends to get on.
      Then as I stood around one of the poles (was holding it with my right hand while left hand was in front left pocket where the phone was), one of them kneeled down and jangled a bunch of keys next to my right foot as if I was stepping on it. At first I just moved my foot and didn’t think anything of it. Then he continued for a bit more. I thought about kicking it away but not that kind of person. He started lifting my right foot up and down so I took my left hand out of the pocket to shoo him away with both hands saying “dude wth are you doing?” My first thought hearing metal clinging and him lifting my foot was that he was going to cuff it to the pole. That’s why I did what I did. Right then, they created a commotion and took my phone. It took 3-5 seconds and I realized “wait. My pockets are unprotected!” Went to feel for my phone and sure enough it was gone.
      I didn’t allow the metro to leave, confronted them, security came out, marked phone as locked via iCloud using my friend’s phone, tried calling it, etc. Essentially, without proof, security and police couldn’t do anything. Four of them left together. I didn’t realize until that moment that it was a team sport. I am well traveled, usually careful, and never had any issues until then. Went to the police station to file a report and met so many people from all over the world that were victims of pickpockets or had their luggage broken into on the train. Paris is a beautiful city, but petty theft crimes have become rampant (similar to lots of major European cities).
      After we filed the report, my friend got a text as we were leaving the police station. It said your phone’s location was updated and to login to see where it was. We were all tired after the ordeal and I went off the words of my friends that it was safe and tried logging in. Keyword is tried because after the second try, I wondered why it wasn’t working since I used the same username and pswd to mark the phone as lost earlier. I asked the other friend if this looked legit. We Googled the official icloud website and sure enough it was different. They basically got my login info to unmark the phone as lost, wipe it, and sell it. I had a passcode on as well. Anyway, this was the same night that a German tourist was killed in an ax attack near the Eiffel Tower. That happened 6 hours after I was pickpocketed. Again, beautiful city but it seems to have gotten worse vs my first visit almost 10 years ago.

My wife and I laughed, and honestly we were a bit cocky. The next day, my wife's backpack was "picked," and my wallet inside was stolen. I lost my credit cards and my US passport. I had to spend the next day going to 4-different police stations and then the U.S. Embassy. I spent hundreds to dollars between cabs, Ubers, and the fee for a new Emergency Passport. Sadly, they run rampant in Lisbon. When you travel please take this seriously. The video is accurate: most of these crimes go unpunished, most seem to be folks from Romania and Bosnia, and lastly, it will prove to be very expensive for you, and worst, very stressful.

      It won't just be Romanians and Bosnians.
      It will be Spanish pickpocketers too.

      Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way) don't help either. Thank you very much for your time.
      First of all, if you have any questions regarding Islam and yourself, just open the Quran randomly, and you will find the answer in front of you, like a miracle and a sign from God.

      Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them).
      Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI).
      Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy.
      Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
      Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI).
      Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).
      Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning!
      Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.
      Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement.
      It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.
      (19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad)..
      God said : Say, “We believe in Allah, and in what was revealed to us, and in what was revealed to Abraham, and Ishmael, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the Patriarchs, and in what was given to Moses and Jesus, and in what was given to the prophets from their Lord. We do not differentiate between any of them. And to Him, we surrender.”
      (2:136 / Translated by Community)

    I very much appreciate all the people who are taking an active role in making their cities safer for everyone. I lived in Madrid for 3 years (2013-2016) and absolutely loved it so much I've been back a few times since to visit the many friends I made during my time living there. Although I had friends who were robbed, I was fortunate enough to never be a victim of these scams and I'm glad to see the people are taking a stand against these criminals. Keep up the good work and stay safe!

      I’m the United States they will arrest you. In state of Georgia, two men confronted a known thief in their neighborhood and the thief lashed out aggressively and tried to enter the men’s vehicles and steal the men’s weapon which resulted in the men shooting the thief in self-defense.
      The powers that be didn’t like the men defending their neighbour and said the thief was defending himself. So the men are in jail for life.
      Because the thief was black they made it about race. Donate to the McMichael’s givesendgo.
      Good job to anyone who takes responsibility of their neighborhoods!
