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.

World cannot continue to ignore what led to 9-11-2001 and 10-7-2023

Moshe Dann discusses the tragedy of September 11, 2001 in the USA, and October 7, 2023 in Israel:

The attack on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001 is embedded in America’s consciousness as a nation. Jews in Israel and around the world share the pain of that event as we celebrate Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year on that date this year. We, too, suffered a national disaster when Hamas terrorists attacked Israeli communities on October 7, 2023.

Both events were perpetrated by Muslim terrorists with similar ideologies; both left deep scars. Both were wake-up calls that initiated wars, changed perspectives, and engaged new strategies.

The world’s reaction to these events, however, has been strikingly different. Expressions of outrage over 9/11 and support for America’s response are contrasted by support for Hamas and Islamist terrorist organizations, while condemning Israel for defending itself.

Like the war against Al Qaeda, the war against Hamas and its supporters is not over. Although largely defeated, they remain active, dangerous and determined.

Everyone who is interested knows what happened on 9/11. Many people have written about it and have produced documentaries about it, but too few have asked what the attack means, its significance, and its connection to Islamism. Prof Efriam Karsh wrote about this in his book, "Islamic Imperialism: a history", which explains the strategy of Islamist terrorist organizations.

Connecting 9/11 to other Islamic-based suicidal attacks, such as the attack on the World Trade Center in 1993, and attacks on civilians and civilian targets is essential. It’s what the Muslim Brotherhood’s plan of “Civilizational Jihad" means.

Most people know, despite conspiracy theories being spread on social media, that the attack on 9/11 was carried out by a group of mainly Saudi terrorists who were connected to Al Qaeda, a terrorist organization. These Al Qaeda terrorists were funded and assisted by the Saudi government and Muslim “charities," and by Saudis living in California and other states. Several Saudi terrorists who carried out the attack were enrolled in flight schools and training programs in the US where they were learning how to hijack and fly airplanes to use them as weapons of mass destruction.

Why were they supported by the Saudi government and Muslim donors?

Even today, Saudi Arabia can't be trusted in virtually every way, shape and form, and 911 Families, in example, are rightfully demanding answers on the issues. The subject of Islam is something that also needs to be pondered when discussing tragedies like the 2015 jihadist attacks in France at the Bataclan, and everything must be done to demand answers there too.

Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the issues and made a point that there can't be any "buts":

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday marked 25 years since the September 11 attacks, remembering the victims and those who risked their lives to save others and drawing a parallel between the attacks and the October 7 massacre in Israel.

“25 years ago, thousands of innocent people went to work in the World Trade Center in New York. They never came home," Netanyahu said.

“For those who know such loss, it never leaves you. America remembers them. Israel remembers them."

Netanyahu paid tribute to the emergency personnel and others who acted during the attacks.

“We remember the firefighters who ran up the stairs while everyone else was running down. We remember the police officers, the first responders, the passengers who bravely fought back on the hijacked planes, and we remember the evil that murdered them."

“On September 11th, America was hit by pure evil. On October 7th, Israel was hit by it again," the Prime Minister stated.

Netanyahu rejected calls to understand the motivations or grievances of terrorists, saying, “There is no context for burning families alive. There is no grievance that justifies murdering innocents deliberately."

“There is no ‘yes, but’ when it comes to terrorism," he added.

The Prime Minister also pointed to chants of “Death to America, death to Israel," saying that the hostility towards the two countries stems from the same source.

“They hate both of us for the same reason, because America and Israel stand for freedom, for democracy, for civilization. For life."

More precisely, because the Religion of Peace dictates it. And even Netanyahu's going to have to consider the time's come to address the challenging issues more clearly.

Update: there was a special Memorial event using drones to recreate the WTC with light beams in NYC 2 nights before:

A drone show recreated the Twin Towers in light over New York Harbor on Wednesday ahead of the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001, al-Qaeda terror attack.

The show featured 2,977 drones — one for each victim killed when hijackers crashed planes into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and rural southwestern Pennsylvania.

It was organized by families of 9/11 victims and New York Fire Department members who responded to the attack at the World Trade Center, where 2,753 civilians, firefighters and law enforcement officers were killed.

An important form of Memorial, to be sure. But will the awful Zohran Mamdani show up at the 911 Memorial today? If he does, it'll be a humiliation.

Zohran Mamdani remains in full contempt of 911 Families and NYC's Jewish community

Giovanni Galante's petition demanding NYC's Muslim mayor stay away from the 911 Memorial was delivered to city hall:

Families of 9/11 victims hand-delivered a petition with over 100,000 signatures to City Hall on Tuesday to demand that New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani stay away from the upcoming 25th-anniversary commemoration at the World Trade Center site. The families held a press conference on the steps of City Hall.

The petition was launched on change.org on July 9 by 9/11 widower Giovanni Galante, whose wife Grace was murdered in the attacks. He began the petition out of concern over the mayor’s public positions, rhetoric, and associations.

Galante addressed the gathering on Tuesday, saying: “The main purpose is just that we don’t believe in what he believes in, and we really want to be left alone.”

He added, “This 25th anniversary is for our victims and us survivors to blend in and pray [on] that day for all the families, not have a circus around us.”

Monica Iken, whose husband Michael was murdered in the towers, also spoke at the podium, noting, “If the families really feel that we don’t want someone at our world-class memorial museum that’s sacred and hallowed, we feel that that person should respect our wishes.” [...]

City Council Member Vicky Paladino took an even stronger stance: “I am not asking politely for the mayor not to come to that ceremony. I am asking, I am demanding that he not show his face at that sacred ground.”

So far, Mamdani's demonstrated nothing but contempt. If any of the authorities and organizers in charge of the Memorial service allow him to enter the vicinity, they'll be just as guilty as he is of desecrating the memory of thousands of people murdered by the Religion of Peace.

On a related note, the EndJewHatred movement is holding a rally outside the offices of Mamdani's leading backers, the Democratic Socialists of America:

Demonstrators and community activists gathered outside the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) headquarters in downtown Manhattan for a rally organized by the EndJewHatred movement and the Lawfare Project on Tuesday.

The rally, titled “Unite Against Terror,” took place at the corner of Essex Street and Straus Square near the DSA offices. The gathering was held three days before the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, focusing community opposition against the DSA and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

New York City experiences a marked rise in antisemitic incidents

The rally unfolded against the backdrop of a marked rise in anti-Jewish incidents in the city, with recent New York Police Department data showing that hate crimes targeting the Jewish community continue to drive local offense statistics.

Critics and community leaders have increasingly blamed Mamdani for fueling these tensions, pointing to his rhetoric regarding Israel.

Protesters stood with victims and families of 9/11 and directed a message to city leadership that terror has no place on local streets, while speakers addressed the growing crowd.

Cheri Sparacio and Mike Weinstein, relatives of people killed on September 11, 2001, took the stage to voice sharp opposition to Mamdani’s planned appearance at the upcoming 25th-anniversary ceremony.

Sparacio said to the crowd, “How can this man be at my husband’s memorial? How can I stand there with him at my husband’s memorial?”

Weinstein echoed those sentiments, highlighting his deep multi-generational roots in New York and saying, “Make no mistake about it, all [those who] died and their families were impacted by the attacks by al-Qaeda, violent Sunni Islamic terrorists, and jihadists.” Weinstein further criticized city leadership: “Some of the leadership of the DSA are aligned with terrorist ideology,” adding that attacks on Jews and New York had risen substantially since the mayor took office.

Ori Solow, cofounder of the political campaign and advocacy network, Stop Mamdani, addressed the crowd during the evening event, saying, “New York will never surrender to radical extremism.” Fellow co-founder Ezra Greenspan similarly said, “New York will not stand by quietly.”

Renee Collymore, head of the Black Jewish Coalition in Brooklyn, spoke at the rally, urging solidarity and action. She said, “Do not let them scare you,” emphasizing, “We must put our support together, the Jews and the Black folks; we got to work together. This is the only way we’re going to stop the DSA.” [...]

Rally participants held American flags and placards that featured messages such as “USA Not DSA,” “Unite Against Extremism,” “Remove Mamdani,” and “Stop Zohran Mamdani.”

Throughout the demonstration, the crowd joined in loud chants, repeatedly shouting slogans like “Stay away, Mamdani!” Activist and singer Ghazal Mizrahi sang the American national anthem.

Jayne Zirkle, director of communications for EndJewHatred said in a statement to The Jerusalem Post, “Last night, EndJewHatred presented a rally to remember the lives lost on 9/11, but remembering alone is not enough. We must also confront the ideas and movements that contribute to extremism.

Again, any figures in charge of the Memorial service who allow Mamdani to enter the vicinity should be ashamed of themselves, and do not belong there any more than Mamdani himself.

911 could happen again if ignorance continues to prevail

Rick Moran (archive link) warns that 911 could tragically happen again, based on how the establishment does everything possible to prohibit discussion of Islam: "Teachers, parents, elected leaders, and the media do a disservice to the republic by hop-skipping past the religious “why” behind 9/11," writes Todd Bensman in MEF.

"In supposedly protecting a new generation of Americans from knowing the why, they will fail to apply the time-tested wisdom that those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it."

In the last 25 years, have we been lucky or good in avoiding another mass-casualty attack? We're currently fighting a war in Iran, where most Americans seem to have forgotten that our goal is to prevent the most destructive weapon in world history from falling into the hands of the most unbalanced, primitive, fanatical society in modern history. That's a worthy goal in and of itself.

It's too late to make a deal. They still have 400 pounds of uranium enriched to 60%, which is just a hop, skip, and a jump from the 90% enrichment necessary to build about eight bombs. Depending on the number and quality of centrifuges they have left, they could spin up that 60% uranium to 90% in anywhere from 10 days to three months.

The acquisition of power or territory doesn't motivate the Iranian clerical-fascists. What motivates them is a hatred so profound that they are willing to wipe an entire people off the face of the Earth. In a righteous world, the nations would be united to remove this regime before it could carry out its genocide. Instead, some nations see an advantage in allowing this nation to threaten Israel and the West, because anything that weakens the U.S. or Israel, they believe, strengthens them.

This is why another 9/11 is inevitable. We may have sophisticated tools to surveil threats and potential threats, but the mindset of the American people has reverted to 9/10. The media, the left, and even some on the right downplay the threat of terrorism, pointing to the threat to civil liberties and the unlikelihood of a serious attack. Others claim to fear that a president could use the expanded powers given to the government in the aftermath of 9/11 for nefarious purposes.

Well that's also why Zohran Mamdani was elected mayor, tragically enough. Because the population of New York was indoctrinated all these years by the very sources Moran speaks of. Now, as a result, even NYC could be more vulnerable than we think to another tragedy.

On a related note, Matt Margolis warns that leftist activists are working round the clock to erase all clear mention of 911 from history lessons in schools:

Here's the number that should make every American furious: only Arizona and Florida legally require public schools to teach about the September 11 attacks. Ten states have statutes that merely encourage some form of 9/11 instruction, according to an August University of Wisconsin study, and that can mean anything from a moment of silence to a full lesson. New York, where the towers actually fell, mandates only a moment of silence and a passing mention in Board of Regents standards. No statewide curriculum exists.

Rep. Andrew Garbarino (R-N.Y.), who is pushing legislation to require 9/11 education in all 50 states, told the New York Post, "We made a promise to 'Never Forget', but today, only a handful of states require 9/11 to be taught in their schools."

But it gets worse. So much worse.

According to the North America Values Institute, an education watchdog group, leftist activists, some backed by George Soros, have produced 9/11 lesson plans now used in schools nationwide, including in New York City. One, "Teaching Beyond September 11th," spends exactly one paragraph on the actual attacks and never once calls the hijackers terrorists, instead building entire units around "Right-Wing Extremism" and "Islamophobia and the Oval Office." It describes Osama bin Laden only as a man the United States "accused" of masterminding the attacks, leaving out his own confessions and his declared jihad against a country he called the "worst civilization witnessed by the history of mankind."

The curriculum was developed by the University of Pennsylvania's Graduate School of Education beginning in 2019 and is now recommended by education departments in Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Wisconsin, and Oregon. Zineb Riboua, a research fellow at the Hudson Institute, said this kind of material teaches kids "that America is responsible for the atrocities around the world to develop a moral framework that can be activated very quickly to get policies that reduce America's power and sovereignty." She said the tactic mirrors what the Muslim Brotherhood and Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps use to target young people. "Ayatollah Khamenei said the best audience to target is students," she added.

See also this item by Ben Domenech about women in the USA who're succumbing to dhimmitude. What the neo-communist education system and leftist press are doing is nothing short of repulsive, and it wouldn't be shocking if they were among the leading sources who're practically banning 911 Families and survivors from speaking at universities, schools and such. That's why one of the worst things about the tragedy - and also October 7, 2023 in Israel - is that neo-communism/socialism, in its own way, has led to far less freedom to discuss challenging issues.

Modern America now has a problem with worshiping monsters

Daniel Darling wrote about a chilling situation occurring today where murderers are worshiped:

The trial of Lindsay Clancy, who has admitted killing her three young children but argues that severe mental illness left her not criminally responsible, has gripped the nation. Unlike the O.J. Simpson trial a generation ago, today’s trial watchers have the internet to seek out information and express their opinions. What is perplexing to many is the growing number of women who express support, not for the three precious souls whose lives Clancy ended, but for Clancy herself. Columnist Caitlin Flanagan writes, “What began as admirable compassion for a woman has turned into something strange: an almost exultant, fan-like celebration of Lindsay Clancy.”

Something strange indeed. Yet the Clancy fan club — complete with online support groups and crowds who show up outside the courthouse dressed in pink to cheer her on — is not the only recent cohort of crazy. Luigi Mangione, the 28-year-old man who admitted in federal court that he shot and killed UnitedHealthcare executive Brian Thompson, has a growing legion of supporters. There is even a website where fans can learn how to send Luigi letters and read his statements. This, for a self-confessed killer who left a wife without a husband and two young boys without a father. And, of course, conspiracy theorists, egged on by Candace Owens’s rapid-fire theories, have tried to make alleged Charlie Kirk killer Tyler Robinson a cult hero.

It's repulsive, and the worst part is that it's not new, recalling a creepy cybertroll from Maine on a message board a quarter century ago, who indicated he worshiped Yasser Arafat of the PLO. This same cybertroll also sided with the Columbine murderers from 1999, and that's all you need to know that something is most horrifyingly wrong with modern education in many places. It's also chilling what he could've thought of 9-11, since this occurred a few months after the tragedy. And who knows how easy it'll be to reeducate youth not to worship evil?

Abdul el-Sayed courted a sex offender for campaign support

Daniel Greenfield points to more chilling news about how Muslim politician Abdul el-Sayed sought the support of a sex offender:

“We need your voice,” Abdul El-Sayed told a sex offender who had been sentenced to prison for sexually soliciting what he thought was a 14-year-old girl online and then for “distributing child sexually abusive material and multiple counts of accosting children for immoral purposes.”

The sex offender had reinvented himself as an activist against incarceration and claimed that he had suffered, “I was only allowed to have the type of phone without a browser, and several times had my phone confiscated” and argued that the answer “is to address the root causes of crime… address the real problems… like education, lack of economic opportunity.”

“I hope that you’ll run, and I hope that when you do, you’ll find me out and let me have the opportunity to support,” Abdul El-Sayed endorsed his political activism. “We need your voice, folks who are affected by the experiences that you’ve had uniquely need your voice.”

One of the sex offender’s alleged former victims, said that he had “solicited me as a minor” and that he had “worked with Senate hopeful Abdul El-Sayed” and together with other politicians made it possible to expunge criminal sexual conduct in the fourth degree and “removing rape from 17-24 year old’s permanent record.” The anonymous victim posted that “Abdul helped lead the decarceration movement. He was the president of the non-profit Michigan United.”

Abdul El-Sayed had served as the president of Michigan United aka the Michigan Organizing Project as part of a board with a number of Muslim figures including Aamina Ahmed of AAPI Rising, appointed by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer to head Protect Michigan, Senegalese immigrant activist Fatou-Seydi Sarr and Dearborn Magistrate Judge Rula Aoun. One of the organization’s missions was combating ‘mass incarceration’ and it was part of the Michigan Justice Advocacy coalition alongside Safe & Just Michigan where the sex offender worked as a lobbyist and argued for keeping sex offender registries secret and for allowing them to live near schools.

Michigan has one of the largest sex offender lists in the country making the threat worse.

It wouldn't be shocking if followers of the Religion of Peace comprised a considerable number of the violators. This is another example of how it'll be horrible if el-Sayed wins the election.

Zohran Mamdani outraged 911 Families by handing commemoration pen to terrorist supporter

NYC's Muslim mayor continues to repulse victims of jihadism by resorting to tactics that could be thought of as under-the-table, but are obscene regardless:

New York City’s mayor turned a solemn 9/11 commemoration into a firestorm by steering the signing pen toward an aide who once defended an al-Qaeda operative.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani gathered administration officials at City Hall on Friday to sign two executive orders ahead of the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, according to the New York Post. One order designates the date a citywide Day of Remembrance and Service, while the second strengthens the city’s emergency preparedness and continuity plans, VINnews reported.

Mamdani gave the ceremonial pen to NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch and quietly asked, “Can you pass this?” according to the Post. Tisch then handed it to chief counsel Ramzi Kassem, who had slipped into the press conference near its end, before she became the first official to leave the room.

Was she in on this? She certainly didn't give any better an impression of herself with the "request" she fulfilled.

Kassem previously represented Ahmed al-Darbi, who pleaded guilty to war-crime charges linked to al-Qaeda maritime plots, including the 2002 bombing of a French oil tanker off Yemen, Fox News reported. Al-Darbi was held at Guantánamo Bay, and his sister married Khalid al-Mihdhar, one of the hijackers aboard American Airlines Flight 77, which struck the Pentagon and killed 184 people.

Relatives of those killed in the attacks condemned the gesture. “How can you defend a guy like that who wants to do Americans or any innocent person harm?” said Dennis Warchola, whose firefighter brother died in the North Tower, the Post reported. Joyce Cohen Day, whose mother died in the South Tower, told the Washington Times that Mamdani deliberately gave a pen “to an al Qaeda lawyer.”

Here's more about Zohran Mamdani's abominable maneuver:

The Post explains that Al-Darbi “was sent to Guantánamo Bay after he was convicted of terrorism in the 2002 bombing of a French oil tanker in the Middle East — part of an al Qaeda plot to attack the global oil trade after 9/11. His sister married Khalid al-Mihdhar, one of the 9/11 hijackers of the plane that crashed into the Pentagon.”

Now, everyone has a right to fair trial, and to counsel to help him get through that trial. But in our age, men of principle are at a premium, and in high-profile cases such as those involving 9/11, the defense attorneys have all too often been people who are sympathetic to their clients and share much, if not all, of their point of view.

Further evidence of Ramzi Kassem’s point of view was the fact that he “founded a legal clinic at CUNY that offers free legal representation to Muslims, also defended Mahmoud Khalil, a leader of the pro-Palestinian encampment at Columbia who was detained by ICE.” At Columbia, the pro-Hamas group with which Khalil worked has proclaimed “Death to America.”

Thus the passing of the pen to Ramzi Kassem could even be seen as a quiet victory lap for the 9/11 jihadis, and that is exactly how many New Yorkers saw it. Dennis Warchola, whose brother was a firefighter who was killed trying to rescue people in one of the Twin Towers on that fateful day, put it succinctly: “It’s bulls**t.” He added: “How can you defend a guy like that who wants to do Americans or any innocent person harm?” Exactly.

Councilmember Joann Ariola (R-Queens) was likewise right on the money when she said that Mamdani’s passing of the pen to Kassem was “breathtakingly tone-deaf and disrespectful.” Of the signing of the executive orders, she said: “This proves that this was nothing but a performance to get headlines, and it shows exactly where his loyalties truly lie. The families who lost loved ones on 9/11 have every right to be outraged. On the 25th anniversary, City Hall should be honoring their sacrifice with dignity, not forcing those families to endure yet another insult.”

Another Councilmember Vicki Paladino (R-Queens), a vociferous critic of Mamdani, said: “Ramzi Kassem said he was inspired by 9/11 — not to join the fight against terrorism, but to defend the terrorists themselves. He doesn’t even belong in this country, much less in our government.”

Even a Democrat, former political consultant David Sivella, stated: “His participation in anything related to 9/11 is an insult to every New Yorker who survived that day, and indeed all Americans. But I suspect that’s the point. Was it deliberate on your part to give your Muslim base a hint that this is all BS to pacify other New Yorkers?”

The worst part is that there's a whole voter base of Mamdani's who aren't Muslims who, for all we know, may be okay with his atrocity. After all, they voted for him despite his calls for "globalizing the intifada". One more reason I can't stand NYC at this point, and would rather not visit there at all. This incident is utterly repulsive, and the worst part is that Mamdani's bound to attend the 911 Memorial in complete disregard of the victims and their families.

"Gays for Gaza" activist was murdered by Muslim migrant in Arizona

A left-wing gay photographer fell victim to the very ideology practiced by the "community" he sided with:

A Gambian immigrant fatally shot two men in the parking lot of the Tucson gay bar Monday before killing himself, in what police have confirmed was a premeditated hate crime targeting the homosexual community.

Tucson police say Ousman Ceesay, 44, opened fire on Vincent Anthony Siqueiros, 42, and Cameron Davis Capara, 33, around 12:30 a.m. outside Venture-N, a longtime gay bar near the University of Arizona campus, NBC News reported. Both victims died at the scene. Ceesay turned a 9mm handgun on himself and later died at a hospital.

Investigators said Ceesay had no known connection to either victim and had only recently relocated to Tucson from Oklahoma City. He was carrying a written list of other LGBT-associated businesses in the area, though surveillance footage reviewed by detectives showed he never attempted to enter Venture-N itself during the attack.

A search of Ceesay’s home turned up a separate note that police say confirmed he acted alone and that the shooting was deliberately aimed at the gay community, the outlet reported. Tucson Police Chief Monica Prieto called the killings “especially heinous” and said bias-motivated violence has no place in the city. Officers have since mad[e] contact with every business named on Ceesay’s list and increased patrols nearby, though authorities say there is no known ongoing threat.

Ceesay had no criminal record in Pima County and was legally permitted to own firearms, police said.

According to his cousin, interviewed by the Arizona Daily Star, he had worked as an Uber driver and was a practicing Muslim who prayed five times daily. Ceesay and his wife filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in 2018 after accruing more than $76,000 in debt, and that the couple faced eviction over unpaid rent as recently as last year.

Capara, a photographer, had spent years documenting the gay scene, campus life, and pro-Palestinian demonstrations and anti-ICE rallies around Tucson. His father, Jeff Capara, separately told the Star his son cared deeply about people he considered marginalized.

This is almost similar to the antisemitic tragedy in Australia last year, when a jihadist who had a gun permit attacked a Chanuka celebration at the beach. The difference here is that one of the victims was far-left, and an Antifa activist:

According to reporter Andy Ngo, Ceesay is a Muslim, and one of his victims, Capara, was afflicted with the left-wing movement known as Antifa.

“He advocated anti-American views and supported mass illegal migration,” Ngo said of Capara.

Yet in the end, his standings did not protect him from the Religion of Peace. And no telling if any other leftists at the site of incident will reevaluate their beliefs.

European left-wing activist arrested for sexually harassing minor

About a week ago, this disturbing report from the Barkai district came up:

A European left-wing activist was arrested on Saturday near the Barkai neighborhood at the entrance to the settlement of Carmel in Judea and Samaria, following an incident in which he was filmed clinging to a 10-year-old Jewish boy in a manner that raised suspicion of sexual harassment. The boy's father filed a complaint with the police, and the suspect was detained at the scene until officers arrived. He was then arrested and taken in for questioning.

The incident began when three children, ages 10 to 12, made their way from the settlement of Carmel toward the Barkai neighborhood. About 50 meters (164 feet) from the neighborhood, the children encountered Palestinians and foreign left-wing activists who were in the area, and at some point, the group began to obstruct their path. During the confrontation, the suspect was filmed clinging to the 10-year-old boy, in a manner that led to suspicion of sexual harassment.

Residents of the neighborhood, who noticed what was happening and the children's distress, arrived at the scene and detained the suspect until security forces arrived. Police arrested him, and the boy's father filed a formal complaint. [...]

Following the incident, Eliram Azulay, head of the South Hebron Hills Regional Council, criticized the activity of these activists in the area. "We have been experiencing a long period of provocations from anti-Israel activists who live near the Barkai neighborhood and try every way possible to disrupt residents' daily routine," he said. He added, "This time, it's a dangerous and criminal red line that must not be met with silence. Harming children is a serious crime, and we expect the Israel Police and the justice system to enforce the full severity of the law against the attacker, without compromise."

This only confirms why said activists are siding with the Islamofascists there - because they agree with the beliefs of the Religion of Peace. The offender should be imprisoned and exiled permanently for what he committed.

Melissa Gilbert continues to flub

The actress who stupidly continues to defend her disgraced husband Timothy Busfield, despite the serious accusations of sexual abuse he's facing, supposedly defended child performers, and only wound up receiving criticism from Megyn Kelly:

In the wake of the allegations against her husband, Gilbert, 62, who played Laura Ingalls in LHOTP, has publicly spoken out in defense of Busfield. She also more recently posted an emotional PSA about protecting child actors following the death of Hayden Panettiere at 36. "Enough is enough," she declared on Substack, pointing to the deaths of Panettiere, Michelle Trachtenberg, and Daveigh Chase as a sign that "something is very, very wrong."

Kelly, 55, was not impressed. On The Megyn Kelly Show, the former Fox News host claimed, "She's gotta offer her 2 cents because it's very important to Melissa Gilbert to be seen as a champion of women, even though she's not."

Additionally, Kelly shot down the idea that mobile phones are to blame for the deaths of former child actresses.

"It appears to be thanks to people like your husband, who you are defending," Kelly said. "She's standing by him even on the host of women who have come forward. She was asked by George Stephanopoulos on Good Morning America whether she was aware of the litany of women who have come forward against him. OK, it's not just one or two. By my count, it is… at least seven who have come forward."

Kelly continued, "This woman, the gull. Like, how ever do we get to this point where women are being seriously abused — why don't you ask Timothy, Melissa? He could really help us out. Oh, wait. You don't give a s***about anything involving him. It's just something that you don't have any connection to that you would like to condemn. That's not how it works. You're going to have to sit this one out, Mel."

Even if this doesn't involve exactly the same topics and offenses Busfield was accused of committing, Gilbert has no business taking the moral high ground so long as she remains the creep's leading defender and apologist, and so, she again screws up classically. Such a disgraceful woman indeed, and she continues to destroy her legacy playing roles like Laura Ingalls Wilder on the 1974-84 Little House on the Prairie TV show. Perhaps it really is best if we all stuck to the original books instead.

Earlier, it was noted regarding the TV show When Calls the Heart that:

Gilbert's departure from the show might have less to do with "budget issues" than indicated, though. The announcement comes as her husband, actor and director Timothy Busfield, faces sexual abuse allegations in Albuquerque, New Mexico, after an alleged incident occurred on set while Busfield was directing a TV show between 2022 and 2023. "When Calls the Heart" is no stranger to scandals, including some behind-the-scenes details that only true fans of the show know after spending so much time in Hope Valley, so Hallmark might be trying to avoid another one with Gilbert's sudden departure.

Here's also some news about how Gilbert's wallet's been emptied based on her willingness to finance Busfield's legal bills. If they go broke, they'll deserve it. Something's wrong alright, and it's Gilbert's vehement refusal to be a realist. That kind of position is not a good example for wives to set.
