An investigation into Ilhan Omar's fraudulent activities

Federal authorities have wisely opened an investigation into Muslim Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's criminal activities, starting with immigration fraud:

Federal investigators are examining whether Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar obtained US citizenship through fraud, potentially laying the groundwork to revoke her citizenship and seek her deportation, The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday.

The newspaper, citing officials and other people familiar with the investigation, said authorities are reviewing the Somalia-born congresswoman’s immigration history and family records.

The report follows a federal search of Omar’s Washington, D.C., home roughly six weeks before the midterm elections, in which she is seeking re-election. The Justice Department described the search as “part of an ongoing federal criminal investigation.”

Here's more:

Two sources close to the investigation say the search stems from a criminal fraud investigation into the Somali-born congresswoman's immigration paperwork, which was filled out by her late father when she was a child.

[...] In 2024, the congresswoman reported that her husband possessed between $6 million and $30 million in assets.

A more recent 2025 financial disclosure report shows Omar’s revised value of shared assets between her and husband to sit at a maximum of $125,000 — a multimillion-dollar drop from the year prior, a difference of about 29.9 million. The lower estimate of their assets, $20,000, compared to the low and high debt estimates, $30,000 and $100,000, would imply the Minnesota Democrat could have a negative net worth.

Both she and her husband have separate debts, each ranging somewhere between $15,000 and $50,000 — from her own student loans and her husband’s credit card debt, according to the disclosures.

Omar has repeatedly refused to clarify the disclosures.

During her tenure in Congress, she has been plagued by allegations that she married her brother in 2009 in an alleged immigration fraud scheme.

That's surely got to be one of the most embarrassingly bad things about her MO. This has been long overdue, and it's good that now, the authorities are seriously running an investigation into her crimes, which'll hopefully lead to her exile from the USA.

Moral assymentry is horrific

Adam Milstein writes about how the USA is failing to honor the victims of Islamic terrorism ever since 9-11:

We promised never to forget, and to defend our American freedoms and way of life in memory of those who perished that day. But sadly, over time, our promise to America has evaporated. The evidence is everywhere: in our classrooms, in our city halls, and in the fastest-growing factions of our own politics.

As America marks the 25th anniversary of 9/11, while celebrating 250 years since its founding, those anniversaries compel us to confront a question that is uncomfortable but unavoidable:

What happens when a civilization loses confidence in its own values while its enemies remain completely convinced of theirs?

The threat of radical Islam, foreign and domestic, has not receded. It has spread.

The terrorists of 2000 wanted to murder Americans abroad, and the terrorists of 2001 wanted to destroy American lives and symbols on our homeland. Today’s Islamist threat can still take the form of terrorism, but it also operates through propaganda, political influence, ideological networks and efforts to reshape how Americans normalize, accept, and even cherish radical Islam.

The examples are no longer isolated. In August, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) promoted a back-to-school resource guide that blamed 9/11 on “American support for Israel” and recommended Osama bin Laden’s infamous “Letter to America” to students. After deserved backlash, the material was removed.

Imagine a curriculum about Pearl Harbor that treated Japanese propaganda as required reading while suggesting that American policy was fundamentally responsible for the attack.

We would immediately recognize the moral inversion.

If they did, would it be because religions of the far east aren't built on the same kind of barbarism those of Islamic countries are? Although some could reasonably wonder if today, any moral inversion emphasizing the National Socialist ideology that grew in Germany during WW2 would be considered acceptable.

The problem is moral asymmetry.

When Islamist extremists attack the West, we are told to examine the grievances that supposedly caused them to act.

When Western countries defend themselves, we are told that their very existence is the problem.

When Islamists or their sympathizers are criticized, the discussion immediately shifts to Islamophobia.

This moral relativism is one of the most dangerous weapons available to an extremist movement.

Because if there is no objective distinction between terrorism and self-defense, between murdering civilians and fighting terrorists, between democratic government and authoritarian rule, then there is no moral basis for defending civilization at all.

They understand something that many Western elites have forgotten, ideas matter.

Osama bin Laden understood that he was fighting not simply the American military but American pride. His objective was not merely to kill Americans. It was to convince Americans that their civilization was corrupt, illegitimate and unworthy of defending.

Twenty-five years later, we are helping him make that argument.

Some could say it all began with the Bush administration, which tried at the time to take steps to "convince" the Islamic world that American culture isn't "materialistic and lewd". Bush's appeasements are something Daniel Greenfield also brings up, and that there's a chilling number of people now in the MSM and on the left who're justifying Islamic terrorism:

“Muslim friends and citizens, tax-paying citizens, and Muslims in nations were just appalled and could not believe what we saw on our TV screens. These acts of violence against innocents violate the fundamental tenets of the Islamic faith. And it’s important for my fellow Americans to understand that,” President George W. Bush had claimed in remarks at a mosque after 9/11 while accompanied by terror-linked Islamists. “The face of terror is not the true faith of Islam. That’s not what Islam is all about. Islam is peace. These terrorists don’t represent peace.”

Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice recently asked the former president to talk about his mosque visit after the attacks to “make sure that our Muslim American citizens knew that we didn’t blame them for what had happened.” Bush chimed in, “I also made it clear that Islam was a religion of peace, not a religion of war, and that these people subverted their religion.”

Muslims, however, don’t agree. It’s not just the generation of Islamic terrorist attacks that have taken place in America since then, the vast majority of which were not organized or planned out by any central terror network like Al Qaeda, but by ordinary Muslims living in the United States.

Some of them may have even paid their taxes.

While Bush was nostalgically recalling his comments after 9/11, the father of Todd Beamer, one of the heroes who led the effort to retake Flight 93 from the Islamic terrorists who had hijacked it, was recording a commercial against Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan. David Beamer had not previously gotten involved in politics, but El-Sayed had been campaigning with Hasan Piker, a Turkish Muslim influencer who said that “America deserved 9/11” and recently told an interviewer that “pound for pound”, America was worse than Al Qaeda and that was too much.

What does it say that Abdul El-Sayed and Zohran Mamdani, the two most prominent Muslim politicians right now, have both been tied to a Muslim who said, “America deserved 9/11”?

Or that the biggest expansion of Islamic political power in America came after Muslims rallied on behalf of Hamas after Oct 7 (Hasan Piker had defended Hamas as “a militant resistance comprised of orphaned soldiers born into a 77-year occupation” and dismissed its atrocities as “rape fantasies”) and in doing so hijacked the Democratic Party to elect terrorist supporters.

Their current crop of candidates includes Melat Kiros, a Colorado congressional candidate who refused to condemn a Muslim terrorist setting a Holocaust survivor on fire, Dariazila Avila Chevalier, a Muslim congressional candidate in New York City who attended a rally celebrating the Oct 7 massacres, Aisha Wahab, a Muslim congresswoman in California who called for diplomatic relations with the Taliban, and Hisham ‘Adam’ Hamawy, the former translator for the Blind Sheikh terror leader at the center of the World Trade Center bombing, and who had volunteered for an Al Qaeda front group. The mask is off and they aren’t hiding it anymore.

A vital lesson could be learned from this, that when nobody's vigilant enough, it's a "conservative" who could end up sowing the seeds of defeat, as Bush did when he basically groveled, and repeated his defeatist positions later on too. Why, the French president Valery Giscard d'Estaing, who was in office during 1974-81, was also "right-wing", and he enabled mass Muslim immigration to France that's taken a horrifying toll since. Even Ariel Sharon was supposedly "right-wing", and was another example who turned out to be a monster. That's why anybody who cares has to pay careful attention so that the right isn't infiltrated by bad actors as the left has. Today's generation of conservatives thankfully seems to have what it takes for that, but it still may not be enough. More vigilance is needed.

Virginia school district forbids any connection of Islam to 911

Proving the left's still a serious problem in USA schools, Virginia's system is desecrating the victims of 911 by forbidding any connection in descriptions of the attacks to the Religion of Peace:

An affluent Virginia school district located just miles from where Islamic terrorists crashed a plane into the Pentagon issued guidance for its teachers to not “associate” the devastating 9/11 attacks “with Islam or Muslims.”

Guidance from Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia told its teachers to be prepared to combat “anti-Muslim bias” in the classroom and to not connect the attacks with any religious motivation. The guidance, obtained by FOX News, was issued ahead of the 25th anniversary of the attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people.

Fairfax County is located outside Washington, D.C., and just miles away from where the 9/11 terrorists crashed a plane into the Pentagon, killing over 180 people. [...]

Evidence shows that the 19 terrorists behind the attacks were motivated by their adherence to Islam. Writings found from one of the hijackers show him praying for “guidance” and “help” and demonstrate that he believed he would be “entering paradise” after dying in the attacks. Another document found from the hijackers discussed the history of Islam and Muhammad waging war against non-Muslims. [...]

Reacting to the guidance, Senator Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) said it should be “ripped up.”

“On the 25th anniversary, Democrats are trying to downplay the EVIL of 9/11. ISLAMIC TERRORISTS MURDERED 2,977 AMERICANS,” he posted on X. “That shouldn’t be controversial. It’s a damn fact. This ‘guide’ should be ripped up and thrown in the garbage, along with every other socialist rewrite of history.”

While Virginia officials cater to Islamic sensibilities, Texas recently moved to approve new curriculum standards that teach about the religious motivations behind 9/11 and the violent history surrounding Islam’s rise. The teaching would include the “Prophet Mohammed’s brutal military campaigns against Jewish and Christian tribes, the normalization of slavery, and the taking of female captives as harem slaves.”

Virginia is clearly one of the worst places to get an education today, much like New York. 911 Families should comment on serious concerns like this.

Update: here's more from a survivor of 911, who warns of the lessons now being forgotten:

A quarter-century later, it’s still a political flashpoint. “You’re dealing with radical Islam,” John says, citing the Council on American-Islamic Relations’ recent direction for schools not to “talk about 9/11 as a terrorist attack.” John describes a reporter who asked him, “If you were to face a group of kids, would you tell them it was a terrorist attack?” He’s shocked this is even up for debate. “It’s crazy that we were talking about something like that.”

Correct. That CAIR played a part in the school scandal is also disturbing.

Update 2: here's also some vital commentary by Michael Dulak.

Update 3: Stephen Kruiser makes an important point that moral equivalence is offensive.

California parents sue Palo Alto school for trying to convert their children to Islam

When it's not LGBT ideology that's the problem, it's Islamism that is. And in California, an example of the latter turned up, that parents are now suing over, since a Palo Alto school tried to indoctrinate their children with the Religion of Peace:

A group of parents is suing the Palo Alto Unified School District and Brent Kline, principal of Palo Alto High School, in federal court, alleging the school’s “Social Justice Pathway” turned a class field trip to a Santa Clara mosque into taxpayer-funded religious indoctrination.

The suit, filed August 7 in the Northern District of California, centers on a fall 2025 visit to the Muslim Community Association mosque in Santa Clara. According to the complaint, students were encouraged to don Islamic religious attire, given Qurans to take home, and observed a midday prayer service.

Ten individual plaintiffs and an advocacy group, Community Members for Religious Neutrality in Public Schools — San Francisco Bay Area, brought the case. Eight are Jewish; the Hindu and Zoroastrian plaintiffs live in neighboring communities and do not have children enrolled at Palo Alto. The complaint alleges that the mosque is the only house of worship the program visits, and alleges its website has promoted both the school visits and local religious conversions.

“[T]he District failed to maintain religious neutrality, failed to ensure equal treatment among faiths, failed to protect student privacy, and failed to vet, supervise, and monitor religiously divisive outside speakers during the school-sponsored event,” the filing claims.

The Pathway is a three-year course track open to Palo Alto High students beginning sophomore year. The complaint alleges that during the mosque visit, students were exposed to Zahra Billoo, executive director of the San Francisco Bay Area chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), whom the filing describes as a “controversial outside speaker with publicly documented hostile statements concerning Jews.” Billoo, the suit says, “was allowed unfettered access to students to advocate personal religious and political views without balancing perspective or adequate supervision.”

This is very obviously horrific, and a strong hint where leftism is going as of now. There can also be no doubt the Islamofascists whom the school staff visited were more than delighted at the chance to indoctrinate Judaist kids along with those of Hindu/Zoroastrian background. The parents are absolutely correct to sue, and we must hope they'll achieve a victory. But in today's California, who knows?

Supposedly pro-Israel Democrat defeated by Abdul el-Sayed supports him despite his anti-Israel standings

The Democrats in Michigan held primaries for midterm USA elections, and somehow, it's just not shocking a Muslim candidate like Abdul el-Sayed would win, defeating an allegedly pro-Israel Democrat, Haley Stevens, in the process. But what's really head-shaking is that Stevens is willing to support el-Sayed in the upcoming Congressional elections:

Stevens answered, “Well, look, I don’t speak for Abdul, but I think he knows where I stood on that issue and where I continue to stand. I’m very focused on rebuilding the temple, where many of my friends have their precious children in day school. That was in my congressional district. It remains a serious matter. And I’m going to make sure that the voices and the folks who have been impacted all across Oakland County by that temple bombing and the voices of our Jewish community are heard, and I’m going to do that in the way that my involvement and participation in the American political process allows. Look, let’s be really clear, cause you’re relitigating a primary that’s over, it’s over. I said what I had to say, and I’ll — I stand by what I had to say, to be honest with you, and I believe Abdul heard me. But the deal is is that no American is my enemy. No Republican is my enemy. No Democrat is my enemy. We’ve got to cut this stuff out. We’ve got to start working together. We’ve got to start looking at this country as this beautiful, free place that we love. My views are going to continue to be on display. I’m going to continue to be in this party, speaking out against political violence, speaking out against antisemitic violence, and all forms of political violence and hate, absolutely. And, in the meantime, the competition’s still rolling. I think you guys in the media are going to be coming out to Michigan. This will be exciting. We know you love our state. That’s a good thing. Come and go to our small businesses. We need you there when you’re in town. But we’re going to do something special. This was a special, historic primary. We all know it. Everyone was calling it out, one way or another, that there was going to be a 15-point loss, and that wasn’t the deal. And that’s okay, that these guys had it wrong. And we just showed them the Michigan way, and that’s what we’re going to show you in November when we beat Mike Rogers.”

She may be employing stealth tactics, but when she says she's willing to work to defeat Republican Rogers, that's definitely telling. So what kind of "pro-Israel" Democrat is she anyway? If John Fetterman in Pennsylvania wouldn't back el-Sayed, Stevens shouldn't either. She's rendered her stance laughable and moot.

That aside, this is another sad indicator of where the USA's headed, now facing serious problems with Islamofascists running for public office, and who knows if anything will be done to prevent them from being able to retain the positions they're sadly bound to achieve?

Update: Fox News (via Front Page) reports that el-Sayed got funding from a certain very bad activist group:

Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed’s campaign has collected more than $115,000 from individuals who work for or have held leadership roles with the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), which has been designated a terrorist organization by the United Arab Emirates and formally designated or labeled as such in Florida and Texas.

That's also bad news. Similarly bad is who else in Congress is also supporting el-Sayed's campaign (also via Front Page):

Schumer spoke with El-Sayed Wednesday, calling it a “great conversation” and praising the former Michigan public health official for a “very, very strong campaign” that mobilized Wolverine State voters who hadn’t been involved in politics.

Schumer pledged to “do what it takes to win,” brushing off his deep disagreements with El-Sayed over Israel. Other issues — healthcare, the state of the economy and tariffs — matter more to Michiganders, Schumer added.

Once again, Schumer's proven himself to be as bad, possibly worse, than Stevens is.

Update 2: an Iranian woman who became a lawmaker in Belgium warns about the encroachment of Islam in Michigan.

Early news on USA Congress' drafting of an anti-sharia bill

Some important news on the development of a bill in Congress to ban Islamic sharia from infiltrating USA politics, which has already happened with figures like Zohran Mamdani being "sworn in" on a koran when he took up his position as NYC mayor:

The Sharia Free America Caucus will present a suite of policies to prevent Sharia law from entering U.S. politics during its first press conference scheduled for Feb. 3, The Daily Signal has learned.

During the press conference, the caucus, led by Republican Reps. Keith Self and Chip Roy of Texas, will present legislative actions that seek to “protect the American people from the advancements of Sharia Law.”

“Members of Congress are convening to sound the alarm about the rising presence and accelerating spread of Sharia in the United States,” Self told The Daily Signal. “If allowed to spread, Sharia will completely erode the bedrock of Western values, individual liberties, and freedoms that define America.”

Sharia law is a system of Islamic religious law that guides personal behavior and civil and criminal justice, often in conflict with Western concepts of liberty and government.

Measures that will be promoted in the press conference include the No Tax Exemptions for Terrorist Act. The bill aims to target funding for groups allegedly tied to Sharia law, such as the Muslim Brotherhood and the Council for American Islamic Relations, Self’s office told The Daily Signal.

They're doing the right thing to bring this up, and they're going to have to push Europe to draft similar laws too. It's vital to do everything possible to draw the line in the sand against the Religion of Peace.

Florida designates CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood as foreign terrorist organizations

In another vital development following the Texas government's decision, Florida's government has designated CAIR as a foreign terrorist organization, along with the Muslim Brotherhood, and ordered all steps be taken to close down all activities of theirs:

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced on Tuesday the designation of the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign terrorist organization.

This decision, which took effect immediately, also targets the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a civil rights advocacy organization for American Muslims.

The governor's decree orders Florida agencies to take all necessary legal measures to prevent the now-illegal activities of these organizations, including withdrawing rights and resources from any entity providing them with material support.

This initiative is in line with a similar approach undertaken last month by the governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, who had also designated these two organizations as foreign terrorist entities.

At the federal level, President Donald Trump signed a presidential decree in November requesting his administration to assess the possibility of designating certain branches of the Muslim Brotherhood as foreign terrorist organizations. Secretary of State Marco Rubio hinted that measures comparable to those adopted in Texas and Florida were "in the works" at the national level.

In Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that he would work to ban the movement. This announcement sparked anger from the Ra'am party, affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood, which condemned the decision as "undermining democracy."

This is why all must be done to get the Ra'am party out of the Knesset. For now, Florida's made the right choice, and let's hope the authorities clean out the offices of the monsters and get them out of the state altogether.

Texas designates CAIR a terrorist organization, will takes prohibitive steps against them

Some good news from the Lone Star State, as governor Greg Abbot's designated CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood as terrorist organizations, and will prohibit their activities in Texas:

Texas Governor Greg Abbott designated the Muslim Brotherhood and the Council on American-Islamic Relations as foreign terrorist organizations and transnational criminal organizations on Tuesday. The designation will allow for heightened enforcement actions against the organization and its affiliates by authorities within the Lone Star State.

In a Tuesday morning press release issued at the state capitol, Abbott offered the following comments regarding the designation saying, “The Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR have long made their goals clear: to forcibly impose Sharia law and establish Islam’s ‘mastership of the world. The actions taken by the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR to support terrorism across the globe and subvert our laws through violence, intimidation, and harassment are unacceptable.”

The designation will prohibit both organizations and their affiliates from purchasing or acquiring land in Texas. Abbott emphasized the consequences of the designation adding, “These radical extremists are not welcome in our state and are now prohibited from acquiring any real property interest in Texas.”

Whether or not the 2 movements have any connection to the mega-mosque in Houston, it should also be closed to prevent any bad activities from occurring. For now, the Texas government's steps are important, but they still have more to do in order to reverse the damage the Religion of Peace has done in the USA.

California Democrat participating in anti-Israel convention in Dearborn

California and Michigan are beginning to have a bit in common, what with the way their leftists are willing to associate with some of the most repulsive ideologues around, and it also makes clear there's a terrible cancer growing in the USA's heartland:

Democrat Rep. Ro Khanna of California is scheduled to appear this weekend at “ArabCon” in Dearborn, Michigan, alongside a slate of speakers accused of antisemitism and of openly defending Hamas’s Oct. 7 terror attack on Israel.

The four-day event, which began Thursday in the nation’s largest Arab-majority city, includes a lineup of activists and academics long criticized for praising terrorist groups. Khanna, who represents much of Silicon Valley, has said he wants “to be part of the national conversation” as a potential contender for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination. [...]

Among the other featured speakers is Democrat Dearborn Mayor Abdullah Hammoud, who recently came under fire for telling a Christian resident, “you are not welcome” in the city, after the man objected to renaming an intersection to honor an Arab American journalist with a history of praising terror groups. Hammoud, who has accused Israel of genocide in Gaza, called the man a racist bigot and Islamophobe, adding, “Although you live here, I want you to know as mayor, you are not welcome here. And the day you move out of the city will be the day that I launch a parade celebrating the fact that you moved out of this city.”

Trump's administration is going to have to do something about this very serious virus that's infected the state of Michigan, because it's clear the country can't put up with this any longer. It wouldn't be shocking if an anti-semite like Henry Ford would've been proud at how things have become ever since WW2, when he was a collaborator with Germany's National Socialists.

Both Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass have responsibility to shoulder for enabling pro-Hamas demonstrators to disrupt realty conference at LA synagogue

There was a most horrific brawl started by pro-Hamas demonstrators who caused chaos at a synagogue in LA's Pico-Robertson neighborhood:

Thirty minutes after Hamas supporters first set up their operation outside a Los Angeles synagogue, they maced their first Jew. And the Los Angeles police did nothing.

Not until an hour into the terrorist rally outside a synagogue, did the LAPD finally step in, pushing back masked Jihad supporters in keffiyeh terror scarves from the entrance of Congregation Adas Torah (Congregation of the Bible) which they had occupied.

And then the mob, chanting calls for “intifada” and the destruction of Israel, moved outward to target two smaller synagogues attended by Persian Jewish refugees from Islamic terror in Iran.

“Billions of us will come and kill you,” a heavily accented Middle Eastern man in a keffiyeh unprompted rasped at me as I walked up. Only dozens had actually shown up, but they made up for it with bullhorns, robotic chants, and assaults in the middle of a Jewish neighborhood.

[...] Despite knowing that a terrorist rally was planned outside a synagogue, the LAPD had allowed the terrorist supporters to take over the entire sidewalk leaving only a thin lane for attendees to walk through to get inside. The LAPD did little to interfere with the terrorist supporters, but did block Jewish counterprotesters from reaching their own synagogue. The police also did nothing as clumps of masked Hamas supporters broke away from the synagogue and began confronting, threatening, and attacking Jewish community members on the street.

LAPD officers did not stir as confrontations escalated into assaults, shoving into mace and bear spray. Jewish community members rushed to provide water bottles to the affected. Only after several such incidents did the LAPD finally bring in reinforcements and push the Hamas supporters away from the synagogue entrance (dispersing them to harass and threaten two other synagogues) while also clearing Jewish families away from the other side of the street who had been peacefully waving flags near a children’s school.

The police obviously also bear accountability here, and no official who stood by silently should continue in their job. If "moral equivalence" was their idea of how to handle things, that too was wrong. According to one victim, mayor Karen Bass refused to meet with him:

A Jewish man who was beaten in the violent riot outside a Los Angeles synagogue on Sunday said that he was not allowed to meet with Mayor Karen Bass following the incident.

In a video uploaded to social media outside a press conference held by Mayor Bass, Naf Sherman said, "I tried to speak to the mayor. They would not let me in because I tried to say some stuff that would make the Mayor make look a little bit bad. I tried to tell them... what we went through yesterday was not okay... but they don't want that. They want the news to know only about how they look and how they're trying. But they're not really trying because what happened yesterday was not okay and we're going to get that message out there 100% and we're going to be strong."

Sherman, whose clothes were covered in blood after he was attacked, said that his nose was broken by "Palestinian fighters." He also appeared to have a black eye.

That too is obscene. And the saddest part is that it's unlikely Bass will be voted out of office, nor will Newsom. And even then, it's unlikely California will have Republican leaders ever again. The California region is simply finished.

Update: and making matters worse, CAIR supported the terrorist thugs.

What will become of journalists' rights if CAIR has its way?

Daniel Greenfield points to how CAIR is trying to get reporters imprisoned for exposing Hamas supporters:

Weeks after the Hamas murders, rapes and kidnappings of Oct 7, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) began meeting with attorney generals around the country.

Beyond CAIR’s existing effort to establish that Muslims, not Jews, were the real victims, the Islamist organization whose roots are linked to the Muslim Brotherhood, the parent organization of Hamas, were persuading top state prosecutors to go after Jewish anti-terror activists.

CAIR’s San Francisco Bay Area staff and Islamist allies met with California Attorney General Rob Bonta and urged him to enforce laws against what the group claimed was “doxxing”. Under California law, doxxing can be punished by up to a year in prison. Bonta has been considering running for governor and might be amenable to doing what it took to win Islamist support.

That's not the only person to worry about. Even California's governor just made clear he's not on Israel's side:

California’s Democratic Party establishment, from Gov. Newsom on down, bowed to CAIR, and demanded that Israel cease its attacks on Hamas. How long until they agree that anyone who commits the crime of quoting CAIR and other Hamas supporters should be locked up in prison?

Anybody in Israel who met with Gavin Newsom when he came here shortly after the October 7 tragedy would do well to stop maintaining any relations with him, because it's clear he's that much of a disgrace, as is the rest of the Democrat party. Now, they're allowing CAIR to rebuild itself back again as an enemy of the people, and with the way things are going now, more tragedy is bound to strike again soon. One can also wonder what'll happen to 9-11 Families if things deteriorate as badly as they're bound to?

Do Republicans recognize the dangers of Islamist infiltration?

Joe Kaufman discovered a Muslim activist he knew trying to infiltrate the GOP in Florida:

In February, I attended a local Republican Liberty Caucus (RLC) meeting. I had been rushing over from another event, so I came in towards the tail end. Being a candidate for US Congress, I was given the opportunity to say a few words in front of the group. In the midst of my speech, I observed someone in the small crowd who seemed familiar to me. Following the meeting, after speaking with a couple of people, I headed outside. I soon was approached by the gentleman I had noticed. He said my name. I immediately knew who it was – Corey Shearer.

Corey Shearer is the Florida Outreach Lead for Emgage, an Islamist group that disguises its extremist agenda as political advocacy. The group’s former South Florida Director Syed Ammar Ahmed, once joked that he “should have threatened to blow up” a school he had participated in a debate at. The group’s founder and former Chairman Khurrum Wahid is a South Florida lawyer who represents high-profile convicted terrorists and, reportedly, was placed on a federal terrorist watch list, himself, in 2011.

Emgage has infiltrated the Democratic Party in a very big way, but so far, the group has had little to no interaction with Republicans. Seeing Shearer at the RLC meeting is a major concern.

I asked Shearer what he was doing there. He told me that he had come with a couple of “black Republicans” and was hoping to bring people together. I asked him if he was a Republican. He answered me nervously, “No, but I have been thinking about it.” It was a lie.

Prior to coming to Emgage, Shearer was a local leader in the Democratic Party. He has happily posed for photos with Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, and Charlie Crist. He repeatedly refers to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis as “Governor DeathSantis,” and just this past October, he labeled both President Donald Trump and Governor DeSantis “jerks,” “racists” and “xenophobes.” He retweets Nancy Pelosi, and in November, he wrote, “I come from a PROUD Democratic family.”

During our brief conversation, Shearer told me that he was upset about the cancellation of a conference that was to take place in January, organized by the South Florida Muslim Federation, a radical Muslim umbrella organization, of which Emgage is a member. I had led the effort to shut down the conference, as, following the October 7 brutal massacre perpetrated by Hamas on 1200 Israeli civilians, a number of the event’s advertised speakers championed Hamas.

Kaufman notes there've been other examples of Islamofascists trying to infiltrate the GOP. And it begs the query, do Republicans recognize the seriousness of what's going on, and know to do everything they can to keep out the Religion of Peace? Let's not forget one past example from the time of George W. Bush, that being Grover Norquist, who doubtless caused substantial damage 2 decades ago.

It should also be noted that in Ohio, an allegedly Republican-led state, they have Muslims serving in prominent government roles, and Akron recently had one who's now elected mayor, and not all that different from Scotland's Humza Yousaf:

Akron, Ohio’s first Pakistani Muslim mayor is convinced that America is racist.

Despite winning a challenging mayoral election by 97% in which he was the only candidate on the ballot after the Republican candidate was disqualified, Shammas Malik has never stopped talking about how racism is everywhere in the country and the city that elected him.

“He’s going to be the face of equity and diversity,” a Malik ally claimed.

And the face of diversity believes that everything about Akron, including its Innerbelt defunct highway system, is racist. “The choice to build the Innerbelt is a great example of systemic racism,” he claimed. “Projects like the Innerbelt explain our sickening racial wealth gap,” he contended elsewhere. And “one great example” of Akron’s racism, he lectured, was the Innerbelt which “was designed to help suburban commuters get to downtown Akron quicker.”

Malik’s solution to most problems, from highways to law enforcement, is to blame racism.

But what's really chilling:

As a student, Shammas Malik had been a member of the terrorist-linked Muslim Student Association before graduating to intern at the terrorist-linked Muslim Public Affairs Council. Multiple MSA leaders and officials have gone on to fight for Al Qaeda and other Islamic terrorist groups. MPAC’s leaders have defended Hamas as well as other Islamic terrorist groups.

After working as a government and policy intern for MPAC, Malik moved on to the leftist Center for American Progress and then as an intern in the Pentagon’s legal office working on federal litigation involving national security and military commissions trials for Al Qaeda terrorists.

Now that is disturbing. And now, this man is mayor of a notable city in the USA, and worst, in an ostensibly Republican-led state. Will the GOP do anything to oppose people like this? Who knows, with the way they're going?

Schools in Virginia allow opt-out from Holocaust lessons

The school board of Fairfax County, Virginia, is doing something terrible they won't do with LGBT ideology:

Virginia’s largest school district will let students skip a presentation from a Holocaust survivor, saying the diverse district includes students with “different experiences.”

“We understand that all students have different experiences. If you prefer to opt your child out from participating in this presentation, please email your child’s history teacher and they will be provided an alternate assignment. Please email your child’s history teacher with any questions that you may have,” a letter from Cooper Middle School said.

The letter referred to a scheduled presentation from a Holocaust survivor to seventh-graders, according to Adele Scalia, a mother of one of those middle schoolers.

[...] Scalia said on social media that she is drawing “less charitable (but more likely) conclusions.” The Left has been pressured by Islamic extremists to demonize Israel following Hamas’ terrorist attacks on the Jewish nation on October 7, and liberals have used the same language of “colonization” and “oppression” that they apply to whites in the U.S. to Israelis.

“If the email had said ‘We understand that some students are very sensitive and Mrs. X’s stories my be disturbing and traumatizing to them…’ I would have given them the benefit of the doubt. But it didn’t,” Scalia wrote.

Fairfax County contains a hotbed of Muslim extremism. A mosque there, attended by several 9/11 hijackers as well as the Fort Hood terrorist, was presided over by the father of Abrar Omeish, who until this year was a member of the Fairfax County school board. Omeish voted against an FCPS resolution offering a moment of silence for victims of 9/11 and another for victims of October’s Hamas attacks on Israel, said the decisive World War II victor at Iwo Jima was “unfortunate,” and gave a graduation speech encouraging students to “remember your jihad” and reject capitalism.

This definitely says quite a bit, right down to how the manager of a mosque is allowed on the school board, and even desecrated the memory of 9-11 victims. This also makes clear the sad path the USA is regrettably headed on if something isn't done to put a stop to this indoctrination.

The opt-out of the Holocaust lesson in FCPS, whose school board is entirely Democrat, is a reversal from the Left’s position on opt-outs on topics like transgenderism and anti-racism, which typically holds that hard truths are often uncomfortable, that it is the role of a school to instill certain values, and that on some issues, there are not two sides, but only good and evil.

[...] With some people claiming that the Holocaust did not even occur, the lesson is one of the last chances to hear from someone who survived it first-hand, as survivors are perishing of old age.

Prior to the election of Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin, a video promoted by Virginia’s state Department of Education, then presided over by Democrat Atif Qarni, sought to dampen the emotional resonance of 9/11, advising teachers not to call it “terrorism” and to focus on “anti-Muslim racism” while making sure not “to reproduce what’s understood as American exceptionalism.”

This is the most terrible part about Virgina, how, Youngkin's election notwithstanding, there remains a considerable amount of far-left influence, and now it's resulted in a truly awful situation. It's clear Virginia has a serious problem with misogyny, anti-Semitism, and the Religion of Peace is really going to make things awful soon enough. Maybe most grating about the whole matter is that, if LGBT ideology is cleared away from schools in Fairfax, it'll only be due to Muslim influence, not because Judeo-Christians, Hinduists and Buddhists ask for it to stop. That's one of the worst things about "protected class" statuses.

Update: and since Israel is also a connected subject here, it should be noted that Joe Biden appears to have supported Charles Schumer's repellent speech attacking Israel, during a meeting with Irish prime minister Leo Varadkar. Very sad too.

Muslims work on hijacking USA elections

As the next USA election draws near later this year, Front Page's editors warn Muslims in the USA are laying the groundswork for hijacking the elections, beginning at state assemblies. Maybe what should be particularly disturbing to ponder are those working in allegedly Republican-run states:

In Ohio, Rep. Munira Abdullahi, newly elected, promoted claims that Israel is “the biggest child-killer in the world”.

In Texas, Rep. Salman Bhojani, the first Muslim elected to the State House, accused Israel of engaging in the “mass killing of Palestinian civilians” during its fight against Hamas and claimed that the Oct 7 Hamas massacres “did not occur in a vacuum”

[...] In Georgia, Rep. Ruwa Romman, a former communications director for CAIR, and the first Muslim ‘Palestinian’ in the George State House, described the Oct 7 attacks as an “escalation” caused by “settler violence and terror aimed at Palestinian business owners”

Rep. Romman argued that a resolution condemning the Hamas atrocities was creating “division” and claimed that Israel’s campaign was “not self defense” “not about hostages” and “not about Hamas”, but about “causing as much damage as possible.”

In the Georgia State Senate, Sen. Sheikh Rahman and Sen. Nabilah Islam, two newly elected members, abstained from a resolution condemning the Hamas atrocities. Sen. Islam had accused Israel of bombing “innocent Palestinians”.

Now it's bad enough these kind of people are active in Democrat-run states. But that they're marketing their influence in Republican-run states decidedly gives valid cause for concern that GOP employees aren't proving themselves in keeping these creeps at bay. As a result, conservatives can have a valid argument to make that their representatives are failing them in more ways than one.

Emgage CEO Wa’el Alzayat responded to the Hamas attacks of Oct 7 by promoting a claim blaming “Jewish supremacists”. He later wrote that “white supremacists” allegedly “waving Israeli flags were blocking the entrance to my daughter’s Islamic school today.”

Emgage has various state branches in New York, Virginia, Michigan, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Florida. Emgage Florida urged Muslims to use their votes to affect American policy toward Israel and Emgage PAC in Texas endorsed two dozen candidates in the state alone.

Funding for Emgage has come through, among others, the Pillars Fund. The Pillars Fund is a “national nonprofit” that “amplifies the leadership, narratives, and talents of Muslims” and has a board of directors that includes a chief of staff for the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The Pillars Fund’s institutional funders include George Soros’ Open Society Network.

No surprise Soros' businesses could be involved either, and that's another chilling problem.

Also of note, Tim Graham points out how the MSM's been softening news about Hamas supporters in Michigan:

Republicans could be pleased to see the left-wing media underlining how Joe Biden was embarrassed in Michigan by a rebellious campaign to vote “uncommitted” in the Michigan primary, protesting Biden’s support for Israel in its war against Hamas terrorists. But one can’t be pleased with how these activists are classified.

You can tell a media outlet is on the left by the way it's resistant to describing leftist allies – even their radicals in their base – with an ideological label. Sometimes, you’ll know someone is a raving socialist when they are called “liberal” or “progressive,” like Bernie Sanders. But these pro-Hamas activists are never presented as “far left,” “hard left,” or “radical left.”

Instead, the verbiage is incredibly vague. Take CNN host Abby Phillip on February 26: “There's a very public, very high-profile campaign to get Michigan Democrats to go ahead and vote uncommitted at that primary to send a message to President Biden.”

Jillian Frankel at NBCNews.com reported a story on February 6 with “Michigan activists” in the headline and a quote from “Listen to Michigan campaign manager Layla Elabed, a Palestinian American activist who is the sister of Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich.” Tlaib voted “present” all by herself in refusing to condemn Hamas for brutally raping Israeli women. Who needs to single this family out as extremists?

This too makes for a very horrific situation. And on a semi-related note, Stephen Baskerville makes a valid point that RINOs, establishment or otherwise, also have to shoulder blame for how the USA has, in its own way, turned communist in recent times. When conservatives fail to make serious efforts to prevent these activists from getting into positions of power, it can't be shocking that such a PR disaster could be the result.

More than 150 Hamas jihadists surrender to IDF in Khan Yunis

An important accomplishment made by the IDF in capturing a significant number of terrorists in the city of Khan Yunis:

Over 150 Hamas terrorists surrendered to the IDF in Khan Yunis on Thursday. Footage of the incident was published on social media.

The terrorists were checked by the IDF soldiers and transferred for initial questioning by the security forces.

This is a very good achievement. There'll be plenty of jihadists to put on trial soon, and hopefully, they'll be given the death sentence, something that's being debated now in the Knesset.

Amazingly enough, veteran filmmaker Steven Spielberg has commented on the issue:

Acclaimed Hollywood director Steven Spielberg spoke out on the Hamas massacre of October 7 for the first time last week.

In an address published by the USC Shoah Foundation last Friday, Spielberg said that he "never imagined I would see such unspeakable barbarity against Jews in my lifetime."

Spielberg, who is Jewish, founded the Shoah Foundation in 1994 to gather and preserve testimony from survivors and witnesses to the Holocaust. The Foundation has begun gathering testimony from survivors of the October 7 massacre under its Countering Antisemitism Through Testimony Collection program, which documents antisemitism in the post-Holocaust era.

According to Spielberg, this initiative is part of “an effort that will ensure that the voices of survivors will act as a powerful tool to counter the dangerous rise of antisemitism and hate.”

“Both initiatives — recording interviews with survivors of the October 7 attacks and the ongoing collection of Holocaust testimony — seek to fulfill our promise to survivors: that their stories would be recorded and shared in the effort to preserve history and to work toward a world without antisemitism or hate of any kind,” he said.

“We must remain united and steadfast in these efforts,” he said.

But does this means he's willing to produce films and/or documentaries in the forseeable future about this tragedy? Because if he doesn't, then he won't be accomplishing anything. Nor will it avail if he takes the same morally equivalent approach he did with Munich nearly 2 decades ago, which ultimately came at the expense of the Jewish victims of the terrorist attack in 1972 at the Olympics. If memory serves, he even sought approval from CAIR, whom it turns out is celebrating the October 7 horror:

Video emerged Thursday of Nihad Awad, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), celebrating the October 7 terror attack by Hamas in which 1200 people were murdered in Israel and more than 240 were abducted as hostages.

Awad’s speech on November 24 to the American Muslims for Palestine (AMP) convention in Chicago was reported at the time, but was largely overlooked; it resurfaced Thursday when shared by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).

[...] The Biden administration also worked with CAIR, despite its radical and antisemitic history, in shaping the so-called “strategy” on antisemitism earlier this year. As Breitbart News reported, CAIR boasted that it helped protect extreme criticism of Israel within the White House’s strategy, which was a reversal of existing policy under previous administrations of both parties.

Will Spielberg be willing to condemn CAIR for their repulsive behavior, and even pan Biden's associations with them? Let's hope he and his institutions realize what a terrible PR error they'd be making if they didn't.

Update: the White House now says it's severing ties with Awad. Something they could've done long ago, and they surely knew CAIR was a repellent lot.

Update 2: Andrea Widburg at the American Thinker comments on the photographs of the jihadists who've surrendered, ideally stripped to underwear.

Update 3: also vital to note is that, as a doctor's revealed, at least 10 hostages of the Hamas were sexually abused in the tunnels:

At least 10 of the Israeli civilians released by Hamas, both men and women, were sexually assaulted or abused while in captivity, the Associated Press reported Wednesday.

In a report detailing allegations of severe and widespread sexual abuse by Hamas terrorists during their October 7 onslaught and later against hostages, a doctor who treated some of the 110 hostages released from captivity told the AP that at least 10 men and women among those freed were sexually assaulted or abused.

He did not provide further details, and spoke on condition of anonymity to protect the hostages’ identities.

The doctor’s comments corroborated similar accounts shared at a meeting on Tuesday. The meeting, held between the Israeli war cabinet and a group comprising recently freed hostages and family members of those still held in Gaza, featured firsthand testimonies from some of the released captives. These individuals detailed their experiences of sexual abuse during their captivity, participants said.

Read more if you have the stomach for it. This is exactly why the Hamas has to be brought down altogether, and all sane people must strongly condemn their savagery.

Will they or won't they?

It's been reported that several Jewish entertainment performers have met with TikTok management, trying to get them to put a stop to antisemitism on their platforms:

The New York Times reports that Adam Presser, TikTok’s head of operations, and Seth Melnick, the company’s global head of user operations convened a meeting with more than thirty major Jewish social media influencers to urge the company to combat antisemitism on its platform.

The meeting included big names including Sacha Baron Cohen, Debra Messing, and Amy Schumer.

British Jewish actor Sacha Baron Cohen denounced TikTok for allowing antisemitism on the platform and demanded that it come to an immediate halt, calling it 'the greatest tool of antisemitism since the Nazis.' Baron Cohen also warned that indoctrination starts young - a fact particularly relevant to TikTok, which multiple studies have found to be the most popular platform for children. “If you think back to October 7, the reason why Hamas were able to behead young people and rape women was they were fed images from when they were small kids that led them to hate,” Cohen said.

Melnik and Presser claimed that the process would not be as simple as Baron Cohen insinuated, but urged TikTok to stop the use of the phrase, “From the river to the sea,” which has long been associated with calls to destroy Israel. Executives pushed back, saying that the phrase was open to interpretation. Many of those participating injected to the idea that the phrase could be used "casually," and Messing urged the executives to reconsider.

I think any balking on the part of the executives is like a tacit admittal they don't want to cooperate. And that's why they don't deserve usage of their platform, yet tragically, no telling if any parents will prevent their children from using it. Parenthood, as we know it, is one of the biggest casualties of today's world. The subject has also been addressed by Wisconsin Republican Mike Gallagher, who said:

Young TikTokers promoting terror leader Osama bin Laden and his propaganda are “massive idiots,” according to Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-WI) who slammed their “absolutely disgusting” justification of the September 11 attacks and called for a ban on the Chinese-owned and influenced app before the Chinese Communist Party “checkmates the free world by controlling the dominant media platform in America and spreading this dangerous, disgusting nonsense.”

In an exclusive statement to Breitbart News, Gallagher, who serves as chair of the Select Committee on China, addressed the recent phenomenon of young Americans going viral on TikTok sympathizing with Osama bin Laden and recirculating his 2002 letter in which the terrorist leader attempts to justify the mass murder of Americans on September 11, 2001.

Bin Laden was the mastermind of those attacks which took place 22 years ago and saw Islamic terrorists crash passenger jets into the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon — with an additional plane crashing in rural Pennsylvania following a passenger revolt — killing nearly 3,000 Americans.

“Well, these people are, of course, massive idiots,” Gallagher said of the young TikTokers expressing support and sympathy for the slain terror leader.

Describing the “true face of evil” of Islamic terror, he slammed the “absolutely disgusting” justification of it.

“I just came from watching the footage that the Israeli embassy compiled about the October 7th attack. It is horrific,” he said. “You are seeing Hamas kill infants and behead innocent civilians with garden hoes. These images are disturbing and show the true face of evil.”

“So for someone on TikTok to suggest that this is America’s fault, or that bin Laden — who killed thousands of innocent Americans — was right, is absolutely disgusting,” he added.

According to Gallagher, the phenomenon is “further evidence that we have to ban TikTok or force a sale before the Chinese Communist Party checkmates the free world by controlling the dominant media platform in America and spreading this dangerous, disgusting nonsense.”

Following this scandal, TikTok management actually said they were removing videos condoning bin Laden. Yet even then, there's still only so much more repulsive stuff on their site that they likely haven't taken down yet. For now, this all serves as a sad reminder of how desensitization to violence in the USA and elsewhere has resulted in whole generations openly voicing acceptance of savagery against innocent people, including and not limited to Jews.

Even on the right, as Robert Spencer reminds, there's very bad actors at work who've tried to form alliances with the Religion of Peace, because of its alleged opposition to LGBT ideology:

The left, of course, has loved Islam for many years now. Even before 9/11, Islamic groups such as the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) adopted the left’s tactic of charging that all critics of Islam, including even foes of jihad terror who were simply exposing the motives and goals of the terrorists, with “racism” and “bigotry.” Muslims, CAIR and its allies contended, were an oppressed class, victimized for being “brown,” despite the fact that there are Muslims, and Islamic jihadis, of all races. A new sin, “Islamophobia,” was invented to intimidate people into thinking it was somehow wrong to oppose jihad violence and Sharia oppression of women.

The left embraced this wholeheartedly, leading to a lasting alliance that has given us the winsome and patriotic Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-Mogadishu) and Rashida Tlaib (D-Ramallah), and a society-wide fear of the personal and professional ruin that can come from being accused of “Islamophobia.” This alliance is showing some signs of strain lately over the left’s obsession with normalizing insanity, sexual deviance, and perversity, but the Oct. 7 attack showed that the bond between the left and Islam is still strong. Leftists eagerly purvey Hamas’ propaganda about how many civilian casualties have resulted from Israel’s defensive action in Gaza, and Israel is drawing increasing fire from leftist leaders including Canada’s Justin Trudeau and France’s Emmanuel Macron

The strains in the leftist/Islamic alliance, meanwhile, have awakened a new love for Islam on the right. Many social conservatives have noted that Muslims are among the only groups in the U.S. standing up against the delusion that a man can become a woman and vice versa, and that those who wish to do so are of perfectly sound mind. Muslims are also among the few who are resisting the left’s insistence on placing pornography in primary schools. This has led some patriots to imagine that a new alliance can be formed between pious Muslims and social conservatives; this is, in fact, not a new idea on the right, but one that no less a luminary than Dinesh D’Souza advocated as far back as 2007.

The fallacy of this kind of thinking, however, is that even if Muslims are willing to make common cause with non-Muslim social conservatives, this will not lead them to abandon the tenets of their faith that call for them to make war against and subjugate unbelievers. The shared distaste for the left’s perversions and delusions cannot be and will not become the basis for a new accord that will allow Muslims and non-Muslims to live together in peace. The Islamic imperative to “fight them until persecution is no more and religion is all for Allah” (Qur’an 8:39) will remain.

Antisemites on the left and the right, meanwhile, have always loved Islam for its deep-rooted hostility to the Jews. The Qur’an even projects that hostility upon its target: “You will find the Jews and the idolaters the most vehement of mankind in hostility to those who believe.” (Qur’an 5:82) We saw this most recently, and most revoltingly, demonstrated in the TikTok craze for Osama bin Laden’s 2002 letter to America, which excoriates the Jews for supposedly oppressing the Palestinians, and declares: “The first thing we are calling you to is Islam.” Nick Fuentes and others who have hijacked the “America First” slogan to contextualize and justify their Jew-hatred and Israel-hatred love Islam for being so tremendously negative toward the group for which they blame virtually everything. Marxist professors who have always hated Israel for being a standing rebuke to the left’s collectivism and destruction of individual cultures (and of individuality itself) love Islam for lending itself quite well to collectivism and hating Jews just as much as they do.

This, of course, was why Michelle Malkin's career collapsed in the past 4 years or so. One can only wonder what she really thinks of the Religion of Peace if she's going to associate with somebody like Fuentes. It's worth noting that Islam is ostensibly against drinking alcohol, but all that symbolizes is a form of moral hypocrisy, when you consider all the physical/sexual abuse incorporated in the koran.

Those on the right who truly care, must of course, do everything to keep people like Fuentes a safe distance away from all sensible people. And, lest we forget, all concerned parents cannot allow their children to waste time on TikTok, and must not allow their children to attend school classes run by far-left ideologues either. There's been only so much damage caused by complacency and lack of vigilance, and now we're long seeing the tragic results.

FBI warns terrorist attacks more likely, but doesn't mention CAIR poses problem too

Paul Sperry discusses how CAIR's been able to operate in the USA for as many as 3 decades, and despite their support for Hamas, no serious action was ever taken against them:

After Hamas massacred 1,400 men, women, and children in Israel last month, FBI Director Christopher Wray warned that the terror group “and its allies” could inspire attacks on Americans “here on our own soil.” He also told the Senate that the FBI is conducting “multiple, ongoing investigations” into people affiliated with the U.S.-designated terrorist group.

What Wray didn’t say is that the FBI has been investigating Hamas’ biggest ally in America for the past 30 years — without seeking any charges. Launched in 1994 as a secret front organization to support Hamas, according to declassified FBI wiretap transcripts and FBI testimony, the Council on American-Islamic Relations has, in the decades since, become an accepted member of Washington’s lobbying community. The New York Times and other influential newspapers routinely describe CAIR as a “Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization.”

Although it has not repudiated its support for Hamas — which is committed to the destruction of Israel and the Jewish people — CAIR was enlisted by the Biden administration in May to take part in a White House initiative to fight antisemitism.

On Oct. 7, the day Hamas terrorists butchered 1,400 Jews, including 33 Americans — raping many and abducting some 240 others to Gaza from southern Israel — CAIR’s national executive director, Nihad Awad, delivered an anti-Israel message in Arabic which seemed to justify what Hamas did. Translated into English, it read: “All Arab peoples must go out on Sunday, Oct. 8 — and every day — in demonstrations in support of the Palestinians and in rejection of normalization with the occupier and the apartheid regime [Israel].”

On Saturday afternoon, CAIR helped rally more than 100,000 Muslims in D.C. to instead condemn Israel for supposedly carrying out “genocide” in Gaza in response to the Oct. 7 attacks. Multiple speakers called for the destruction of Israel — and, by implication, the Jewish people there — by demanding Palestinians take all the lands “from the [Jordan] river to the [Mediterranean] sea.”

Something the Federalist writer doesn't mention either is that even under the Dubya administration, this was a very sad problem, and it doesn't seem like anybody wants to acknowledge that. As awful as it is that Biden's bunch would actually include CAIR in alleged efforts to combat antisemitism, when CAIR is part and parcel of the problem, anybody who overlooks the harm Dubya's bunch enabled is making it failing to do anything to oppose the RINOs who've lent themselves to the decline of western values over the years.

For now, it most definitely is sad how Biden and company are kowtowing to CAIR at the expense of common sense.

Update: CAIR also sided with some hoaxers who faked a hate crime in Ohio recently.

Transsexuals don't care about actual women oppressed in Afghanistan, and Haredi extremists likely don't either

Here's an interesting observation about the horrible status women in Afghanistan now suffer under, ever since faux-president Joe Biden withdrew USA troops in the 2021 fiasco:

Since the Taliban took over Afghanistan in 2021, females aren’t allowed to be educated past age 12.

They can’t be seen in public without full body coverage. They can’t travel more than 45 miles from home without a male chaperone. They can’t work in sectors outside health or…

— Kaeley Triller (@KaeleyT) September 10, 2023

Here's the post in full:

Since the Taliban took over Afghanistan in 2021, females aren’t allowed to be educated past age 12.

They can’t be seen in public without full body coverage. They can’t travel more than 45 miles from home without a male chaperone. They can’t work in sectors outside health or education.

After age 8, they can’t be in direct contact with a male who’s not a blood relative. They can’t speak loudly in public since no one should be forced to hear a woman’s voice. They can’t wear heels, lest the sound of a woman’s footsteps inadvertently entice a man.

All establishments with any reference to the word “woman” have been renamed. Street level windows must be painted over so that women in the home are not visible to men on the street.

There’s a ban on women's presence on radio, television or at public gatherings of any kind.

So when I see self-indulgent men in womanface wailing on TikTok about how oppressed they are by women who refuse to wax their balls or forfeit their athletic opportunities or honor their narcissistic pronoun demands, all I can figure is that these egomaniacal idiots are the unwitting brand ambassadors for the epitome of American male privilege. And maybe they would benefit from a little vacation to the streets of the Middle East where they could take up their demands with the Taliban and haggle over the definition of the “human rights” they seem to believe they lack.

Now Haredis don't usually follow the same playbook when it comes to education for girls. And women in Haredi society can leave the house and travel long distances without male escort. But the talk of not being able to speak loud in public or sing, not being able to speak on radio programs, and having streets named after women renamed, that's definitely reminiscent of some of the most offensively discriminatory acts ultra-Orthodox could perform against women in Israel and elsewhere. Even high heels can be considered otherwise taboo in such societies, and it's just as reprehensible. Don't be shocked if many male transsexuals don't give a damn either, and you can't be shocked if Haredi extremists, in their turn, couldn't give a damn if LGBT ideologues want to erase women's successes. For now, it's tragic how Afghanistan's practically been turned into something similar to what Saudi Arabia was up until recently.

Also of note is this item by Daniel Greenfield, about how in the USA, Muslim activists like CAIR are allowed to determine in many cases whether Muslim girls can have the privacy denied to non-Muslim girls when it comes to subjects like transsexuals:

Prayers in schools and any kind of religious content, from the Ten Commandments to Christmas songs, remain widely opposed by litigious leftist organizations like the ACLU. And even the most modest efforts to keep kids from being exposed to graphic pornographic content have been assailed by the Biden administration which has sued school districts for trying to keep kids safe.

That’s why CAIR’s guide telling schools how to treat Muslim students is so extraordinary. The Islamist organization lays out rules for Islamic school prayers and tells schools to consult with mosques about sex ed. It warns schools against allowing Muslim girls to interact with boys in co-ed environments like swimming and dancing. And, in a time when leftist governors and school boards force girls to shower with transgender boys who claim to be members of their sex, it even insists that Muslim girls should shower in their burkinis even in single sex settings.

But what is truly extraordinary about the CAIR guide is that there will not be a word of protest against it from the same political establishment and media that smeared Florida laws empowering parents to protect students from sexual content as “Don’t Say Gay”.

There was a good deal of political discomfort when Muslims in Dearborn, MI, an Islamic dominated city, stormed a school board meeting to denounce LGBTQ content. Rather than addressing the fundamental conflict between its politics and Islamic law, the leftist media dishonestly blamed Republicans for having brainwashed Muslims to hate gay people.

Had an influential Christian or Jewish organization put out a similar guide to schools barring them from interacting in co-ed settings or being taught sexual materials, there would be outrage. The media would warn that we were on the verge of theocracy and schools would redouble their sexual programming. But that won’t be the reaction to the Muslim guide.

[...] We cannot have a country where non-Muslim girls have to shower with ‘transgender’ boys while Muslim students are offered private showers. Nor a country where mosques get approval over sex ed courses and Islamic scholars determine the theological content of textbooks.

The supreme right to determine the education of children belongs not to schools or to CAIR, but to parents.

This too is a very important subject to consider, focusing on the double-standards when it comes to Muslims and non-Muslims. If CAIR got its way in the past, chances are they still will today, especially in an era where the Democrats are otherwise making it easy. And how interesting the MSM actually saw fit to smear Republicans for turning Muslims against LGBT ideology, even as the leftists themselves are completely okay with Islam objecting. With the biggest irony being that when men have little contact with women, it can lead to homosexuality in its own way, and Islam influenced male homosexuality in its own way as a result. While in Haredi societies that dictate gender segregation, they too have led to homosexuality among their subjects.

Transgenderism is one of the most dangerous extremist movements in USA, but Islamofascism is still a serious issue too

Tucker Carlson's made a point about the transsexual movement and where it's going in the USA:

Friday, FNC host Tucker Carlson reacted to an attack on former University of Kentucky swimmer Riley Gaines, who spoke out against transgender females competing in female collegiate athletics at San Francisco State University a night earlier.

Carlson proclaimed that the left, specifically the Biden administration, promoted the transgenderism movement with what he described as “religious extremists.”

While concerns about the transsexual movement are entirely valid, all concerned should consider that even as we speak, Islam is still a very serious problem, as the following news from Florida makes clear:

Tampa Bay, Florida has long been a hotbed of radical Muslim activity, and Ramadan is a big draw for the resident extremists and their organizations. On March 31st, a Ramadan iftar (evening break-the-fast meal), held at Tampa’s Petra Middle Eastern Restaurant, brought together some of the city’s most extreme elements, including former and current leaders from the Hamas-linked CAIR and worse. A city council member also participated. The public display of comradery by terror-related Islamists and local officials is both ominous and indicative of the influence Muslim fanatics have in Tampa, and the dangers posed by this must not be ignored. [...]

The CAIR figures attending last month’s iftar dinner, titled ‘Tampa Muslims and Friends Iftar,’ are related to CAIR’s Florida chapter. When it comes to terrorism, CAIR-Florida very much emulates its parent organization. A prime example of this was CAIR-Florida’s sponsorship of a pro-Hamas rally that took place in downtown Miami, in July 2014. Rally goers repeatedly chanted “We are Hamas,” “Let’s go Hamas,” and “Hamas kicked your ass.”

The iftar attendees included: former CAIR-Florida Executive Director Hassan Shibly; current CAIR-Florida Executive Director Abdullah Jaber; former CAIR-Florida Communications Director and founder of the CAIR-Florida headquarters in Tampa, Ahmed Bedier; and current CAIR-Florida Policy Manager Hiba Rahim. [...]

Ahmed Bedier’s tenure with CAIR coincided with the trial of Sami al-Arian, a USF professor who created a Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) network within the Tampa area. Bedier was al-Arian’s unofficial spokesman in the media. In December 2005, during a TV interview, when asked if he believed al-Arian’s involvement with PIJ was immoral, Bedier infamously stated, “To a certain degree. Now, before 1995, there was nothing immoral about it.” Bedier’s younger brother Amir, who was a big fan of Osama bin Laden, was shot and killed by Egyptian police. Before his death, Bedier labeled him a “hero.” Bedier, like Shibly, has been accused of sexual harassment.

This is certainly disturbing too, and if sexual misconduct could occur at various left-wing organizations around the USA, it shouldn't be surprising it could occur at an Islamic movement too, no matter how a woman there dresses.

That aside, it's very troubling that, for all the efforts Ron deSantis makes to put a stop to abuse by LGBT ideologues in Florida, he's not making any effort to stop Islamofascism from reigning in the sunshine state. What will it take for deSantis and his staff to confront an equally dangerous problem?

Stealth sharia continues to be a chilling problem in the USA

Eileen Toplansky points out how Islamofascism remains a serious threat around the USA and elsewhere. And how the Muslim vote may have played a part in getting Democrats elected to the Senate:

So it should be no surprise that “The Muslim vote may have helped secure Democratic Party control of the Senate.” Consequently, the Red-Green Alliance is in full force.

In 2018, Trevor Loudon explained “how Muslims intent on fundamentally transforming America have achieved an ominous beachhead in Minnesota, thanks in large measure to that state’s long-dominant radical left.

Mr. Loudon’s “Red Minnesota: How a State’s Communist Roots Produced the Hard-Left Politics that is Enabling Its Burgeoning Sharia-supremacism” reveals a chilling reality: The ‘Land of Lakes’ has become one of the most Islamized states in the Union because it is one of its most socialist states. A man who personifies this ‘Red-Green axis’ is the Marxist and Muslim Brotherhood-tied Keith Ellison, the first Muslim elected to Congress in 2006 who has just won the Democratic nomination for the state’s Attorney General. His candidacy has become a crucible for the further coalescing of the far-left and Sharia-supremacist movements into one great stream dedicated to undermining and eventually supplanting the traditions of political freedom, Western values and religious tolerance.

These leftist political institutions have established close ties with Minnesota’s predominantly Somali Muslim immigrant community and are now enabling the latter’s Sharia-supremacist agenda and helping empower its proponents, politically and otherwise.

So it's not just Michigan where Islamism's become a terrible problem. Come to think of it, if this report says anything, communism's a serious problem in Minnesota too.
