Ball Test - Times Square New Year's Eve 2023 Celebration

Thomas Galati, the department’s chief of intelligence and counterterrorism, was quoted as having told ABC News in an interview….”He is not representing, you know, the Islamic religion but rather, you know, a very, very small percentage of people that get radicalized,” Galati added….

Times Square Trevor Bickford , 19, of Wells, Maine was on an FBI "watchlist". After he was radicalized, he vowed to fight in Afghanistan. His brother is in the US Army.

19-year-old Trevor Bickford stabbed two cops with a machete in Times Square on New Year’s Eve, and authorities are scratching their heads and wondering why. According to the UK’s Daily Mail, “an investigation was underway to pinpoint a motive for the attack.” That investigation, however, may be more the result of officials not wanting to recognize Bickford’s obvious motive, rather than a matter of his real intentions being unclear. Bickford himself left behind a “manifesto” in which he made his perspective and intentions quite clear. But since neither he nor his attack fit the establishment media/Biden regime narrative about the “white supremacist” terror threat, they’re unlikely to get much attention.

The New York Post reported Sunday that when he was arrested after the stabbings, Bickford had a handwritten note in his backpack, asking his family to “please repent to Allah and accept Islam.” The backpack also contained a “collection of religious material” that was unlikely to have been gospel tracts. Bickford wrote: “To my family — specifically, mother — I’m sorry for not having been a good enough son.” But then he gets down to brass tacks: “I fear greatly that you will not repent to Allah. And therefore I hold hope in my heart that a piece of you believes so that you may be taken out to [sic] the hellfire.”

Bickford addressed the same hope to his brother: “To Travis. Of anyone I’ve known who I have felt is closest to faith — it’s you. Of anyone I’ve ever wanted to accept Islam with me — it’s you. Please repent to Allah and accept Islam. I fear for you.” To his other brother, who is reportedly in the U.S. Marine Corps, Bickford wrote: “To Devon, there was a time when we were close, but that time has passed. You have joined the ranks of my enemy. And for that, I can give you no kind words – return to Allah.”

The New York Post also noted that Bickford wanted to attack “a uniformed officer” or “someone with a gun,” as he believed such people to be an “enemy of the state.” Which state? The New York Post, as willfully ignorant as the rest of the establishment media, shows no curiosity about this question. But clearly, Trevor Bickford, after he converted to Islam, was no stalwart American patriot. He wanted to target a uniformed officer as an enemy of the Islamic state. He had no kind words for his brother Devon because Devon had joined “the ranks of my enemy,” that is, the U.S. military.

How did Trevor Bickford come to think this way? According to the Daily Mail, he “appeared to be a typical, all-American teenager” who “once made the school honor roll, won awards for his artwork, and was a member of the championship football team in his hometown of Wells, Maine.” Then, however, his father died of a drug overdose, which must certainly have been deeply traumatizing, and Bickford converted to Islam. If authorities really want to understand Bickford’s motive, they should study carefully what they are almost certainly ignoring, such as the questions of how and where this young man converted to Islam, and how he got the idea that his new religion, which non-Muslim authorities all over the Western world assure us is completely peaceful and tolerant, commanded him to consider non-Muslims enemies and violently attack them.

These questions are never asked, much less answered, despite the fact that converts to Islam turning to jihad violence is a distressingly common phenomenon. American intelligence and law enforcement officials don’t want to do anything to give the impression that they don’t accept the dogma that Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance that has nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism. The fact that converts to Islam such as Trevor Bickford, Allison Fluke-Ekren, Damon Joseph, Corey Johnson, and many, many others have somehow gotten exactly the opposite idea doesn’t ever make authorities pause and reflect upon their core assumptions.

All this willful ignorance accomplishes nothing other than to ensure that the story of Trevor Bickford will recur again and again. The Biden administration’s all-consuming focus on a fictional “white supremacist” terror threat only ensures that those who converted and taught Bickford and others like him will have a freer hand than ever to recruit and train new jihadis. In this case, as in so many others, Biden’s handlers’ willful ignorance and politicization of counterterror activity come at a high human cost.

Sweden: Ethiopian Muslim Migrant (15) Brutally Rapes, Beats, and Strangles Little Girl (9) With Her Shoelaces, Child Left Brain-Damaged

Republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, & research purposes.

The heartbroken family is furious at the government and school staff who hid the Migrant’s past sexual attacks on females, strangulation porn habits, and his actual age.

Nine-year-old Luna was raped and almost murdered last year in the multicultural district of Morö Backe in Skellefteå, Sweden. The little girl was beaten, strangled, tied to a tree, and sexually assaulted by a 15-year-old Ethiopian serial sexual offender posing as a 13-year-old. As a result, the permanently brain-damaged child must now travel in a wheelchair specially designed for her.

During her hospitalization, she was placed in a coma on a respirator for eleven days. Luna was alive but couldn’t move, talk, eat, or function in any conscious way.

Her Muslim Ethiopian rapist, Abushi Shamse Kamal, arrived in Sweden in 2017. At only 15, he was already known to authorities for several sexual assault cases dating back to 2019 and 2021.

Shamse was granted a permanent residence permit in Sweden on June 30 – a week before the brutal act.

The Attack

On July 7, Luna put on her backpack and helmet, said goodbye to the staff at the school, and got on her bike to ride home to Morö Backe in Skellefteå. Then, the nine-year-old little girl came across the migrant.

Authorities do not know how the migrant teen got Luna to stop her bike or how he managed to drag her naked body through the rough terrain of the woods, where she was later found strangled by a shoelace — moments away from death. The migrant raped her, strangled her with her shoelaces, and repeatedly punched her.

No one knows precisely how long Luna lay injured on the ground, without clothes, with her own shoelace tied around her neck like a stranglehold. He then used her other shoelace to tie her hands around the tree so tightly that it damaged the bark. When she was discovered, she was lying on the ground and breathing with faint rasps. According to the doctors, she was close to death.

The lack of oxygen after the strangulation has left Luna with permanent brain damage, and she cannot speak and has difficulty moving her arms and legs. She is on medication for epilepsy, and her movements are spastic, not voluntary. She no longer has any language to express herself. Her family learned that Luna’s brain damage is irreversible.

Luna’s family has given an exclusive interview to the Swedish newspaper Expressen about their daily nightmare. The family reports that they believe Luna remembers everything that happened to her. “Sometimes she becomes inconsolable, sad, and upset,” they explained. So they do everything to calm her down and say: “We know. We know what happened to you; you don’t have to struggle to tell us”.

The girl was found alive, but the teenager’s efforts to strangle her had deprived her of oxygen, leaving her with permanent brain damage. As a result, she is trapped in her own body, unable to express herself or move her limbs. After months of rehabilitation, Luna has made little progress. She can wave her hand a little. She managed to say one word: “Mom.” There are also setbacks, such as increased anxiety and panic attacks.

A few days ago, Luna could leave the hospital for a short visit to celebrate Christmas with her family. But, at home, Luna needs round-the-clock assistance and supervision. “She’s completely helpless,” explains the family.

Luna is an artistic little girl, she loves to sing and dance explained her devasted Aunt Emma.

Luna was failed by the School and State

The Ethiopian teen had been a terror nearly from the moment he arrived in Sweden. The boy had been in and out of neighboring schools. He had a history of documented sexual assaults, viewing graphic strangulation pornography on school computers, assaulting girls in school, and a woman near an underpass where Luna’s body would later be found.

In 2019, three sexual offenses against girls in school were reported. He had touched their breasts and buttocks and called one of them a ”whore”. The school contacted the parents but did not report any concerns to Social Services.

During the trial, it was revealed that Abushi Shamse had used the school’s computers to search for ”violent and pornographic films and materials that contained strangulation” – and that the school knew about it. But the school took no action. Instead, they only told Shamse to stop searching for such material if he wanted to continue using the school’s computers.

Psychologists and a social services team from the municipality had met with the migrant. But when his parents declined to participate in the investigation, social services said they “could find no reason to investigate against the parents’ wishes.”

In June 2021, he assaulted a woman at a subway near the site where Luna was found. The crime was investigated as an attempted abuse, and a sexual motive – was suspected. Still, since Abushi Shamse was not of legal age, the investigation was sent to the Social Service. The school received no information at all.

Society could have prevented this, says Luna’s aunt. She says she does not direct her anger at the 15-year-old; she cannot even think about him.

Instead, her anger is directed against the adults in the schools and the social services — the same ones who knew the boy’s problems and past record but did nothing to protect the children. She said there were “signals” that authorities could have acted upon.

She believes there are still people to save. So why did no one sound the alarm button? This is our role as adults: to be the eyes of the children around us and to protect those we are meant to protect.

Day of the Attempted Murder

It was around 3:20 when Luna left camp at school on July 7 last summer. Earlier that day, the 15-year-old had been circulating in the schoolyard without anything to do. For most who knew the boy, he was 13 years old. But the boy’s family, and even people employed at the school, knew that his age was incorrect.

The boy’s behavior at school also stood out, including documented incidents of a sexual nature towards girls. But on the day of the attempted murder of Luna, he was seen as an idle boy on summer vacation, hanging around aimlessly at school.

A student had had his electric scooter stolen, and the migrant offered to help search. Shamse found it quickly, and there are reports that he himself took it and therefore had an easy time finding the scooter.

Around 3:30 p.m., a witness heard a scream from the forest. Shortly after 4 p.m., the boy was seen in the schoolyard again.

It wasn’t until 5:28 that a call was made to emergency services. The migrant had been trying to stop people on the road and asking them to join him in the forest. An apparent ruse to try and make it appear as if he had stumbled across the girl he had raped and nearly murdered. A woman finally followed the boy into the forest and brought her daughter, who was the same age as Luna. The woman called emergency services immediately.

The police patrol on site noticed the 15-year-old’s behavior was odd. Police interrogated the boy that evening at his home. Even then, he told police he was 15, not 13. He also gave a story about how he found the girl in the woods when he went to pee, even though Luna was 30 meters off the road in hard-to-reach terrain.

At the end of the interrogation, the boy asks a question:

“When will you get the answer?”

“How do you mean?“ asked the police.

“About her. Who has done it?”

The following evening, the boy confessed to his parents, and the father called the police. When the investigation by the Forensic Agency confirmed that he was over 13, the investigation became a preliminary investigation.

In questioning, the boy expressed surprise that Luna had survived. He has admitted parts of what he did, but in the interrogation, the story changed over time, and he had difficulty explaining why it happened.

Sentencing

On October 19, the Skellefteå district court ruled that the migrant was guilty of attempted murder and aggravated rape. On November 30, the results of the forensic psychiatric investigation showed that the 15-year-old suffered from a serious mental disorder both when he assaulted Luna and now. The investigation also concluded that the risk of relapse of a crime of similar nature is high. However, the boy’s parents are fighting for him to escape compulsory care and be allowed to come home.

On December 14, Shamse was sentenced to forensic psychiatric care with a special discharge examination by the Skellefteå district court. The court ruled that the migrant intended to kill Luna. The penalty value for an adult was equivalent to life imprisonment.

Luna Must Not Be Hidden

Luna’s mother will document her daughter’s life on her own social media, like Instagram, in the same way she did before the horrific attack. Those who wish can follow Luna’s progress and daily life.

The family knows that Luna has always liked to be seen and has a strong will to speak out.

“We don’t know if Luna will ever be able to give direct consent to anything,” Emma said.

But the family has decided on one thing: Luna must not be hidden.

They show a photo of Luna sitting in her wheelchair, wearing a navy blue dress with tulle and sparkling eyes. Then, in a circle on the floor, the gathered children of the family sit on a pile of paper and help open birthday presents.

The whole family was present at the hospital when she turned ten—cousins, grandparents, little sisters, aunts, and uncles. There was a cake with birthday candles and colorful cupcakes that Luna’s mother had baked. But Luna couldn’t eat any of it; she can swallow drinks and cream but gets most of her nutrition through a PEG tube in her stomach.

Of all the feelings of hatred, anger, hopelessness, and most profound sorrow Luna’s family has gone through and still struggles with, one feeling rises above the others. Like when Emma in the dream floats above Luna’s body in the forest.

The only thing that remains is the love for Luna, says Emma.

Women have been sacrificed on the alter of mass-illegal immigration

This brutal atrocity would never have happened had it not been for mass immigration from the third world. Furthermore, the state and her school allowed a violent migrant sexual predator to remain in school around defenseless young Swedish children.

Sadly, Luna’s case is not an isolated incident. Swedish females are being sacrificed at the altar of mass illegal third-world immigration. Recently, RAIR Foundation USA reported on a woman brutally gang-raped in a park by five teenage Muslim migrants.

Last year, Swedish journalist and acclaimed author Gunnar Sandelin delivered a shocking speech on 3rd world immigration and its detrimental effects on Scandinavia. The renowned journalist was one of the first mainstream figures in Sweden to be ostracized, fired, and banned from his profession for exposing official government figures on migration. But by no means is she the only one.

Open Borders Sweden

There are no negative consequences for migrants trying to make their way to Sweden. Despite two-thirds of Swedes voting for more restrictive immigration policies, once illegals penetrate the borders, they are handed food, clothing, money, and provided shelter. As reported previously by RAIR, Swedish European Union (EU) Commissioner Ylva Johansson forces member states to accept all migrant applications despite the country’s overwhelmed and financially depleted social systems,

“Rejections are illegal. Not everyone has the right to asylum, but everyone has the right to be treated in line with our values. When people apply for asylum in the EU, they appeal to European values. And we must honour that appeal”

As detailed by Sandelin, Sweden’s mass-migration policies have dangerous and devastating effects on its society. Yet, instead of its left-wing leaders closing the borders and reversing the flow of migration, they have gone to great lengths to hide or ignore the crisis and prosecute those who speak out about its real consequences for the safety of Swedes.

Sweden is being swept by a strong wave of murder, violent assault, rape, gang rape and sexual assault, in addition to the ever-present terror threat. Instead of using its limited resources to protect its citizens from the violent onslaught against them, Sweden is waging war on its citizens for daring to speak out against the same violent onslaught from which the state is failing to protect them.

As previously reported at RAIR, the Swedish government funds a radical online “hate” monitoring group, “Näthatsgranskaren.” Tomas Åberg, a disgraced ex-police officer, heads the group. The group mass-reports Swedes who write critically about migration or Islam online to police officers, who have raided speech offenders’ homes, roughed them up, placed them under arrest, and collected their DNA.

Demographic Impact From Migration

There are shocking demographic impacts from migration that are affecting European countries’ national and cultural identities.

According to Gatestone, “within a generation, Sweden’s third largest city, Malmö, will have a population in which the majority of people are of foreign background.” In 2008 researcher Kyosti Tarvainen predicted Muslims would be the majority in the next several decades. Gunnar Sandelin explains that 30% of the population is now foreign-born, and “Sweden will become Europe’s most Muslim-populated country,”

People of foreign origin have increased by almost 1.5 million. People of Swedish origin decreased by almost 25,000. “Foreign-origin” people are those who are born abroad and both of whose parents are of foreign-origin.

Everywhere across the West, except in countries that refuse to take in illegal third-world immigrants, such as Poland or Hungary, females continue to be sacrificed by their open borders leaders. Sadly, Globalists’ multicultural experiment in Sweden has resulted in Swedes no longer being safe in their own country.

Elon Musk has not only “dealt a body blow to the Left’s authoritarian agenda by buying one of the world’s most popular social media platforms,” Twitter, but he’s also helping to enable some ability for Iranian dissidents to communicate with the world. Musk’s Starlink, a “satellite-based broadband service could help Iranians circumvent the government’s restrictions on accessing the internet and certain social-media platforms amid protests around the country.” Thus it allows the truth about Iran to be revealed to everyone.

Musk’s Starlink is revolutionizing Internet technology globally. Last month, the UK began trials using Starlink “to beam high-speed broadband to remote areas of the UK.” In 2020, Starlink was already being reported to be a possible “uncensored internet solution” for North Korea, that “could prove a game-changer.”

“Elon Musk says around 100 Starlinks now active in Iran,” Reuters, December 26, 2022:

Dec 26 (Reuters) – SpaceX Chief Executive Elon Musk said on Monday that the company is now close to having 100 active Starlinks, the firm’s satellite internet service, in Iran, three months after he tweeted he would activate the service there amid protests around the Islamic country.

Musk said, “approaching 100 starlinks active in Iran”, in a tweet on Monday.

The billionaire had said in September that he would activate Starlink in Iran as part of a U.S.-backed effort “to advance internet freedom and the free flow of information” to Iranians.

The satellite-based broadband service could help Iranians circumvent the government’s restrictions on accessing the internet and certain social media platforms amid protests around the country……

Florida Muslim Private School Tied to Rabid Antisemitism Gets Taxpayer Funded Vouchers

December 28, 2022 John

Speaking at the mosque/school, Imam Fadi Kablawi has called Jews “the lowest of the lowest.”

Friday Sermon by North Miami Imam Dr. Fadi Yousef Kablawi: What Does the West Want for Afghan Women?

Miami imam Dr. Fadi Yousef Kablawi said that the West is concerned with Afghan women, and he asked whether what they want for them is Afghanistan’s Got Talent, Miss Afghanistan, or Hollywood. He spoke at a Friday sermon that was delivered at Masjid As Sunnah An Nabawiyya North Miami, and was posted on its Facebook page on September 17, 2021. Dr. Kablawi said that the Afghan women are “fine” and asked whether it is right for a woman to be “exposed to everybody and anybody has access to her” and whether this is considered women’s rights. He further said that shari’a is the solution for all the suffering of mankind. Dr. Kablawi added that the law of Allah is the only law that is not changed “under the domes of parliaments, Congress, or all that nonsense.” Dr. Kablawi, who is a dentist, immigrated to the United States from Jordan.

Miami Imam Dr. Fadi Yousef Kablawi: Christianity Is Responsible for the Looting in America

In a Friday, June 5, 2020 sermon delivered at the North Miami Islamic Center, which is known also as Masjid As-Sunna An-Nabawiyya North Miami, Imam Dr. Fadi Yousef Kablawi said that he is saddened by Muslims who participate in Black Lives Matter protests because “every life matters.” He said that Christianity is the main problem in America and the West today since Christians believe that Jesus died for their sins and that as a result, they believe that they can commit crimes such as looting and repent for them later. He stated that the solution to America’s problems is Islam. Later in the sermon, Imam Kablawi said that according to Darwinism, the European race must “exterminate the savage race” of people with bigger lips and darker skin. The sermon, titled “This Is How We Should Look at the George Floyd Issue as Muslims,” was streamed live on the mosque’s Facebook page. Dr. Kablawi, who is a dentist and originally from Jordan, had written an article in Ghurabaa Islamic Magazine in 2010, saying that the Jews incurred the anger of God. In November 2019, Salman Rashid, who is affiliated with the North Miami Islamic Center, was arrested for plotting an ISIS attack against the deans of Broward College and Miami Dade College.

Miami Imam: Laws Preventing Employers from Firing Members of the LGBTQ Community Violate Employers

On June 19, 2020, a video was uploaded to the Masjid As-Sunnah An-Nabawiyyah North Miami Facebook page of a sermon delivered by Dr. Fadi Yousef Kablawi, a Jordanian-born imam at the North Miami Islamic Center. In the sermon, Imam Kablawi mocked the LGBTQ community, people who want to be addressed by different pronouns, and the freedom to choose one’s lifestyle and sexuality. He said that the law prevents employers from firing people for being members of the LGBTQ community, but that this is a violation of employers’ rights because it stresses employers and makes them uncomfortable. Imam Kablawi added that any man-made law such as this gives people rights at the expense of other people’s rights and that the only law that holds everybody equal is Allah’s law.

Reviver Academy is a Muslim children’s private school based in Miami, Florida. The school is part of the North Miami Islamic Center (NMIC), which also includes a mosque whose imam, Fadi Kablawi, uses his pulpit to preach violence and target Jews, gays, Christians, women, and fellow Muslims with the worst of bigotry. This same school/mosque receives taxpayer-funded vouchers from the state of Florida to lower tuition costs for its students. Given the violent and hateful nature of NMIC, its educational apparatus should cease receiving school vouchers and be forced to give back those vouchers it received previously.

Though Reviver and NMIC have separate corporations, they are essentially the same organization. According to the NMIC website, “North Miami Islamic Center is a non-profit 501(c)(3) Tax Exempt Corporation in Miami, Florida. The Organization owns a Masjid (Masjid As-Sunnah An-Nabawiyyah) and an Academy (Reviver Academy, LLC).” The Reviver logo, many times, is presented with the words “Assunah AnnabaweyaRevivers” written under it. All three entities operate out of the same facility, located at 560 NW 165th Street Rd. in Miami, and prior to February 2015, they used the Miami address of 431 NE Circle Ter. #102-24.

The building housing Reviver and NMIC has three floors. The mosque is on the first level. The school uses the second floor. Currently, NMIC is actively raising funds to renovate the third floor to expand the school. Apparently, a good chunk of these funds is coming from Florida’s taxpayers.

As stated on Reviver school registration instructions, “We accept Step Up For Students Scholarship.” Step Up for Students is a Florida nonprofit organization that works with the state to provide scholarships to help pay tuition for private schools. The scholarships average around $7000 per student. During this past Ramadan, soon-to-be Reviver administrator Nabil el-Shukri told the NMIC congregation that he would help them get “vouchers” to assist them in paying for their children’s education.

For Reviver/NMIC to be involved in securing funding linked to Florida’s taxpayers is a huge problem, as it has significant links to terror and is involved in propagating the worst of violence and bigotry.

NMIC is an outgrowth of the Shamsuddin Islamic Center, where future al-Qaeda leader and Nabil el-Shukri’s brother, Adnan, was a congregant and their father, Gulshair, was a founding board member. NMIC originally operated from Shamsuddin’s address. It is not by chance that Shamsuddin’s ex-President, Shazam Mohamed, is now NMIC President and Reviver Manager. Mohamed is Vice President of the American Muslim Association of North America (AMANA), a group condemned by the ADL for spreading “venomous” Jew-hatred, whose President, Sofian Zakkout, was kicked off two anti-crime boards for promoting Hamas and Holocaust denial.

While Mohamed holds the organization’s top leadership role, the face of Reviver/NMIC is Jordanian-born imam Fadi Yousef Kablawi. Kablawi, whom the FBI believes has had involvement with ISIS and who has previously been charged with “making terrorist threats at an airport,” uses the mosque to verbally assault others. This includes Jews, Christians, Hindus, gays, women, and even his fellow Muslims, who do not embrace his brand of extremism.

In December 2020, Kablawi told his congregants that Jews are “the lowest of the lowest.” He said that people “crack jokes about Jews being cheap” as “a punishment from Allah.” In January 2021, Kablawi stated that Jews “deserve the wrath of Allah… because he knows what the truth is… [H]e knows what’s right, but his intention is evil.” In May 2021, he said, “[T]he Jews cry… every minute about the Holocaust. And they make it the worst thing that happens in history for any group of people… You didn’t suffer… When you come and say, ‘We want money for our great-grandfathers, who were burned by Hitler,’ you’re capitalizing, just as usual. You love money.”

In January 2019, Kablawi told the congregation, “If you look at the religions in the world, perhaps Christianity can compete for one of the first three places in stupidity.” In September 2021, he stated, “When I go outside to make dawah (outreach), I’m not going [up] to a Christian to tell him ‘I hate you’… but that does not deny the fact I do… I don’t hate him because his head is big or he’s skinny or fat or his skin color, but I still hate him as a being.”

In August 2021, during a speech at his mosque, he stated about America, “I’m a true believer in the fact that Allah has not destroyed this country yet, because we Muslims live in it.” He declared the same for homosexuals, stating: “When Allah tortured Lut (Lot), they knew that what they were doing is wrong… So you want to tell me the gays of today are better? Yet, Allah is not destroying them. The only explanation I know of myself… is because we Muslims are here. So based on that, all gays and all lesbians in America should be standing outside this masjid to give us appreciation. But we don’t want it. Stay away from me.”

Amid this same August 2021 speech, while defending the Taliban’s treatment of women, Kablawi vilified female victims of sexual assault, impugning women for the crimes committed against them. He asked, “Can you tell me about rape?” He continued, “‘Oh, he’s one of them. Oh, he blames the women for the way they dress for getting raped.’ I blame them, but I don’t free the perpetrator.”

Kablawi has also preached violence. In July 2020, Kablawistated, “[J]ihad is when you put your life on the line… Real jihad is not climbing walls. Real jihad is climbing over people’s necks and heads and skulls.”

At least one of Kablawi’s followers, then-Masjid As-Sunnah An-Nabawiyyah congregant Salman Rasheed, appeared to have taken Kablawi’s words to heart when he was arrested for soliciting an individual to contact ISIS in a plot to murder the deans of both Broward College and Miami-Dade College. Rasheed posted on Facebook, “Americans Are Our Greatest Enemy After Israeli Yahuds” and “Americans will pay Inch by Inch For everything they have done to us…” Kablawi, who met with and spoke with Rasheed on several occasions, called Rasheed a “good brother.” Rasheed’s mother accused Kablawi of having brainwashed her son to commit terrorist acts.

During Kablawi’s sermons, one can view several children roaming the congregation floor. This is deeply disturbing, as these innocents are taking in the hatred and violence that is being spewed by the Reviver/NMIC leadership. Certainly, there is reason to believe that a number of ‘Salman Rasheeds’ are very well being groomed for the future, there. And what is more disturbing is that all of this is being assisted by the state of Florida and the Florida taxpayers, who willingly or unknowingly are providing tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of dollars to this wildly radical institution.

In July 2003, the Islamic Academy of Florida (IAF), a Muslim children’s private school not unlike reviver, was dropped from Florida’s state voucher program. Florida legislators had voiced concern that IAF had been named by the US government, in an indictment, as being part of a terrorist enterprise. According to the indictment, the school had been used to raise funds for Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) and to harbor PIJ operatives. As a result of IAF being dropped from Florida’s voucher program, the school lost over $300,000 in vouchers.

Because of Reviver/NMIC’s association with violence and bigotry aimed at Jews, Christians, homosexuals, women, and others, Florida legislators must do the same with Reviver Academy as they have with IAF and end the school’s relationship with Step Up For Students or any Florida state voucher program. Additionally, Reviver Academy should be made to pay back any vouchers that have already been received, as these vouchers were obtained while this institution was linked to said violence and bigotry.

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is the section of our government that is responsible for ensuring that our food is safe for American consumption. Yet, when it comes to food consumed by Muslim Americans, the USDA has been relying on groups associated with terrorism – the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) and Islamic Relief (IR) – for assistance and is even partnering with these groups. The following will explain why our government needs to break ties with these radical outfits and worry not just about food safety, but national security.

According to ICNA Relief, the social services division of ICNA, the group has been “working with the U.S. Department of Agriculture for the past two years to provide guidance on expanding halal food options through the emergency food assistance program (TEFAP)… In the future, we will be working to educate USDA suppliers, distributors, and wholesalers on the requirements of halal certification.”

The USDA states on its website, “For specific Halal information the following organizations may be helpful: ICNA Relief [and] Islamic Relief USA.” The USDA website also lists Islamic Relief USA (IRUSA) as a USDA Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) “partner organization.” IRUSA is the US branch of IR. IR’s global headquarters, Islamic Relief Worldwide (IRW), is based in Birmingham, England.

ICNA was founded as the American arm of the South Asian Islamist group Jamaat-e-Islami (JI). As such, ICNA has significant links to South Asian terrorists. For over three decades, ICNA has harbored former JI killing squad commander Ashrafuzzaman Khan, who, in November 2013, was sentenced to death (in absentia) for the murders of 18 people during the 1971 Bangladesh genocide. Khan has served as ICNA Vice President and ICNA-New York President. ICNA has as well collaborated with and promoted Falah-i-Insaniat Foundation (FIF), a banned front for Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), the group behind the November 2008 Mumbai, India terror attacks.

ICNA has been linked to terrorist financing. In August 2006, ICNA was a top donor and partner to JI charity Al-Khidmat Foundation (AKF), at the same time AKF led a delegation to Damascus, Syria to hand deliver $100,000 to the then-global head of Hamas, Khaled Mashal, at his residence. ICNA continues to be a partner and donor to AKF. In October 2000, ICNA placed on its website links to the official sites of Hamas and Hezbollah as well as a directive issued by then-ICNA President Mohammad Yunus to provide “material support” to “fellow Chechnyan Muslims,” while providing a link to qoqaz.net (‘Jihad in Chechnya’), a financing/recruitment website for al-Qaeda.

ICNA has an Islamic outreach (dawah) division, WhyIslam. On the WhyIslam website, one finds an essay, ‘Gender Equity in Islam,’ sanctioning domestic violence. It states, “[W]omen on whose part you fear disloyalty… beat them.” Not long ago, the site featured a message board used by forum moderators to make posts deriding Jews and supporting Hamas and Israel’s destruction. One moderator, Marwan, discussing an Indian eatery called “Hitler’s cross,” vilely joked, “Nazi restaurant… I wonder if they have kosher meals.” Another said that Jews who speak against Israel… “deserve peace and life… The rest will one day end up in the Mediterranean sea.”

Like ICNA, Islamic Relief has several ties to overseas terrorism. As a result, IR has been banned by a number of nations. In May 2006, Israel labeled IR a front for Hamas. In November 2014, the UAE government designated IR as a terrorist group. Also in 2014, Britain’s HSBC bank cut ties with Islamic Relief over concerns about “terrorist financing.” And in October 2017, Bangladesh’s NGO Affairs Bureau banned Islamic Relief in fear the group would conduct terrorist recruitment of Myanmar refugees. In November 1999, it was reported that Islamic Relief had collected and sent over $6 million to Chechen rebels with ties to Al-Qaeda.

IRUSA board member and ex-Chairman, Khaled Lamada, has used social media to promote the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas. According to the Middle East Forum, “Lamada has circulated text praising the ‘jihad’ of the ‘Mujahidin of Egypt’ for ‘causing the Jews many defeats’” and “republished claims on Facebook that praise Hamas for inflicting a ‘huge defeat’ against the ‘Zionist entity.’” In June 2015, Lamada tweeted that it is “absurd” to classify Hamas “as a terrorist organization.” Lamada has visited suicide bombing supporter Mazen Mokhtar at the hospital and praised anti-Semitic Egyptian cleric Salah Sultan as “the honor of the homeland.”

What could possibly be the legitimate reason for the USDA or any governmental organization to partner with either ICNA or Islamic Relief? In truth, there is none. These groups are dangerous to society and threats to national security. Their associations with terror and bigotry render any expertise that they may or may not have in Halal food moot.

Instead of embracing these groups, as the USDA has done, the agency should look to shut them down. There is no excuse to partner with either of these two radical entities, as a partnership implies an acceptance of the hatred and violence they are linked to.

Nigeria: Muslims slaughter 46 unarmed Christian villagers as security forces do nothing

It’s clear at this point which side the Nigerian government is on.

“Herdsmen, Other Terrorists Slaughter 46 Christians in Nigeria,” Morning Star News, December 23, 2022:

ABUJA, Nigeria (Morning Star News) – Suspected herdsmen and other terrorists killed 46 people Sunday night to Wednesday (Dec. 18-21) in attacks in predominantly Christian areas of southern Kaduna state, sources said.

Attacks by Fulani herdsmen and other terrorists on Malagum and Abun (Broni Prono) villages in Kaura County Sunday through Tuesday (Dec. 18-20) left 38 people dead in the predominantly Christian communities, said Luka Biniyat, spokesmasn for the Southern Kaduna People’s Union (SOKAPU).

“It is with heavy heart and deep sense of loss that we announce the gruesome, mass murder of not less that 38 harmless, unarmed villagers,” Biniyat said in a press statement. “The killings, which lasted long, started around 11 p.m. Sunday night. Not only were these, poor innocent citizens killed, not less than 100 houses were razed, with some victims burned alive.”…

“Apparently, the security forces deployed there did nothing under this glaring potential threat to security,” he said. “Especially as this dastardly act is coming five days after armed herdsmen herded their cattle into a farm owned by Cletus Dunia, 45, in Kpak village, a sub-unit of Kagoro, in Kaura LGA, and shot him dead at close range before mutilating his corpse.”

The herdsmen also shot and killed Levi Zakaria, 19, as he was harvesting yams on a farm on the route taken by herdsmen, who also killed 16-year-old Ezra Sunday about two kilometers away, he said.

“The same herdsmen caused the death of Gaje Habila, 31, when he fell and died of exhaustion while escaping the killer herdsmen, leaving behind a widow and a 6-month-old baby,” Biniyat said.

In southern Kaduna state’s Zangon Kataf County on Tuesday and Wednesday (Dec. 20-21), armed herdsmen invaded homes in predominantly Christian Kamuru village, Ikulu Ward, and killed four persons, he said.

“This is to say that 46 persons were killed in unprovoked attacks in southern Kaduna in the past five days,” he said.

The slaughters follow attacks that have displaced thousands of people from their ancestral homes since 2019, he said.

“Let it be put on record that in the hundreds of attacks that have put many parts of southern Kaduna into ruins and killed thousands since 2014, we have not seen anyone arrested and brought to book over these heinous crimes against humanity,” Biniyat said. “Instead, it is southern Kaduna traditional leaders, clergy and human right activists that do get arrested and put in prison over trumped-up allegations of ‘incitement.’”

Local Council official Mathias Simon confirmed that four Christians were killed in Zangon Kataf County.

“Aside from the four Christians killed, four others also were injured during the attacks by the herdsmen and terrorists,” Simon told Morning Star News in a text message, adding that area Christians have no way of stemming the attacks “but must remain steadfast in prayers and be watchful in order to keep our communities safe.”

Bawa Emmanuel, a youth leader in Kaura County, also confirmed the slaughters.

“Attacks on Kaura LGA have been consistent and multi-dimensional with the efforts of the security operatives and government not seen or felt,” Emmanuel told Morning Star News in a text message.

Numbering in the millions across Nigeria and the Sahel, predominantly Muslim Fulani comprise hundreds of clans of many different lineages who do not hold extremist views, but some Fulani do adhere to radical Islamist ideology, the United Kingdom’s All-Party Parliamentary Group for International Freedom or Belief (APPG) noted in a recent report.

“They adopt a comparable strategy to Boko Haram and ISWAP [Islamic State West Africa Province] and demonstrate a clear intent to target Christians and potent symbols of Christian identity,” the APPG report states.

Christian leaders in Nigeria have said they believe herdsmen attacks on Christian communities in Nigeria’s Middle Belt are inspired by their desire to forcefully take over Christians’ lands and impose Islam as desertification has made it difficult for them to sustain their herds….

Afghan officials smuggled $1,000,000,000 out before Taliban takeover as Biden poured in billions more

Business Insider has exposed the level of corruption in the U.S.-backed Afghanistan government. Among the biggest questions that arise is this: How much money did Afghan President Ashraf Ghani leave with, and how much hard-earned American taxpayer cash was among the money that was smuggled out of the country?

Consider the fact that Ghani met with Biden in June 2021, less than eight weeks before Ghani fled the capital amid the collapse of the US-backed government. Although it’s a mystery what Ghani left with, information points to him being a beneficiary of the smuggled assets.

Even as the collapse loomed, the Biden administration continued to pour billions of dollars into Ghani’s government and boasted about the US-Afghan relationship. The investigation into the Afghan corruption points to full knowledge on Biden’s part. So who will now continue this investigation, not only into Ghani (which lead to death threats to the investigator), but particularly into Biden’s knowledge and possible complicity? Not only have large amounts of American cash been lost in Afghanistan, but billions of dollars worth of weaponry was also left behind.

Shocking levels of corruption keep on getting exposed in the Biden administration, which includes the loss of staggering amounts of cash in Afghanistan, cash that could have been used to turn around the American economy. Instead, Biden is keeping the Southern border open, only adding to the financial burden of American citizens, as well as inevitable security costs related to the criminal element that is entering the country.

Biden has now pledged “unlimited” spending to Ukraine. Clearly, he thinks America has unlimited financial reserves. What about American interests?

“Exclusive: Afghan government officials helped smugglers sneak almost $1 billion in cash and gold out of Afghanistan as the US-backed government neared collapse, documents show,” by Mattathias Schwartz and Edris Lutfi, Business Insider, December 20, 2022:

During the final months of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, as the Taliban advanced on the capital, the elected government struggled to reassure its US patrons that it could maintain control. Yet at the same time, smugglers were illegally carrying hundreds of millions of dollars in cash and gold out of the country with the assistance of officials from within the Afghan government, according to internal government documents and former Afghan officials.

The office of Ashraf Ghani, the US-backed Afghan president, had been informed about the problem, insiders say. But it did nothing to stop it.

Documents assembled by Afghanistan’s now-defunct government and obtained by Insider show that $59.7 million in cash and gold went from Afghanistan to Uzbekistan through the port of Hairatan during the first three months of 2021, as the US contemplated withdrawing its forces and the Taliban geared up for the spring offensive that eventually toppled Kabul. During a 13-month period running from May 2019 through May 2020, the total was a staggering $824 million.

Though the couriers failed to declare the money to Afghan officials as it left the country, Uzbek customs agents on the other side of the border did record the cash and gold on handwritten customs forms. Those records were obtained by Afghan anti-corruption officials as part of an investigation into money smuggling, and they form the basis of a scathing report documenting a river of cash flowing out of the impoverished nation.

Much of the money, the Uzbek customs forms show, was bound for the United Arab Emirates, where top Afghan officials would flee when their government collapsed later that year.

Gold and cash totaling four percent of Afghanistan’s GDP was smuggled through one border crossing
Situated on a river with one bridge crossing, Hairatan is the highest-volume customs port in Afghanistan. Insider obtained 457 pages of customs records showing that more than $824 million in cash and gold illegally crossed the border there during the second half of 2019 and the first half of 2020 — roughly four percent of Afghanistan’s GDP and more than the total amount of humanitarian assistance that the US government was providing to the country each year. In early 2021, as the new US administration was evaluating a sped-up withdrawal plan, between $500,000 and $1 million was passing through each day, the documents show.

The smuggling flouted Afghan laws requiring travelers to declare cash or gold worth $10,000 or more and a strict ban on exporting $20,000 or more. The Uzbek customs forms don’t specify who the money belonged to or how the smugglers obtained it, but such a large and illicit flight of capital out of the country was one of many warning signs that the Afghan government’s survival could be in jeopardy.

The documents accuse Mirza Mohammad Katawazai, the former deputy speaker of Afghanistan’s parliament, of directing the smuggling ring with the help of a network of Afghan intelligence officials, border guards, and port officials. (Katawazai has denied previous allegations of smuggling ties.) They also accuse Ata Mohammad Noor, the former governor of Balkh province, where Hairatan is located, of providing security for the smugglers and issuing threats to potential competition. The documents identify the two men as being part of the 2021 smuggling ring; they do not allege who was behind the $824 million smuggled in 2019 and 2020….

American officials spent the first months of 2021 publicly extolling the durability of Ghani’s government, which would collapse almost immediately upon the US exit in August. But in private, they were airing serious concerns about corruption. On March 31, 2021, diplomats from the US Embassy in Kabul met with an Afghan government delegation that included members of the team investigating the Hairatan smuggling. According to notes of the meeting obtained by Insider, the Americans told their Afghan counterparts that corruption could only be stopped “if there is will” and expressed concerns about corruption “at the inner circle of the President.”

Meanwhile, the Biden administration continued to pour billions of dollars into Ghani’s government and spoke publicly about an enduring US-Afghanistan partnership. Even after Biden announced in April 2021 that the US military would leave the country by September, the official US plan was to continue funding Ghani’s government, having already spent $2.3 trillion on the war and $145 billion on reconstruction….

Those in Ghani’s inner circle appear to have prospered during their time in power. In June, the Wall Street Journal reported that the former president’s ministers have been snapping up rental properties in California and villas in the UAE, where the bulk of the smuggled money was headed. The UAE is also the home of Ghani and Noor, the former provincial governor with alleged ties to the Hairatan smuggling ring.

POLICE STATE New Jersey: Hamas-linked CAIR wants January to be ‘Muslim Heritage Month’

December 25, 2022 John

The New Jersey State Senate is considering joint resolution 105, which would make January “Muslim Heritage Month” in New Jersey. News12 in the Bronx was there to cover Madina Ouedraogo of the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) speaking in support of resolution 105. News12 tells us:

The goal is to increase awareness and appreciation of Muslim American communities in the state. The Council of American Islamic Relations testified on behalf of the new bill in Trenton.

Ouedraogo said:

If the state of New Jersey truly takes great pride in the religious and cultural diversity of its residents It is critical to pass Senate Joint Resolution JR105 which would recognize our large community within the state.

News12 added:

The Council hopes the new bill can bring more awareness to the rise of anti-Muslim incidents in the state.

Aware that there is always something wrong with every newscast that features CAIR, we go to the resolution to see what it says. In line 12 of joint resolution 105, we find this:

WHEREAS, Muslims have made significant contributions that shape our world, including notable achievements in philosophy, mathematics, astronomy, physics, chemistry, medicine, architecture, music, literature, and the arts…

It is hard to know what exactly they are referring to here. But it sounds as if it might be a rehash of chauvinistic, pro-fascist 1,001 Islamic Inventions propaganda. “1,001 Islamic Inventions” made claims that Muslims invented or discovered chess, the crankshaft, bathing, the circumference of the Earth, manned flight, robots, etc. But these boasts are either fables, such as a single line in an ancient poem, or just warmed-over Greek civilization.

If the resolution is referring to this kind of esoteric knowledge, then the state of New Jersey should not celebrate it. And if CAIR’s endorsement was the first warning sign, the hint of revisionist history was the second.

Eight lines later comes another warning:

WHEREAS, The history of Muslims in the United States dates back to before the country’s founding, originating with enslaved Africans, of whom scholars estimate as many as 30 percent were Muslim, who brought Islamic beliefs and practices with them and contributed in numerous ways to the founding of the nation, including courageous and dedicated military service in every major war from the American Revolutionary War until today.

Again, there is this vague reference to “scholars.” But there are no scholars who will tell you that 30 percent of the slaves brought to America were Muslim. That is because the historical record is not complete enough to know how many people were Muslim.

Also, several of the names that propagandists regularly bring up as examples of a Muslim presence in America are not only outliers but Fulani.

The Fulani people were busy ethnically cleansing their areas at the time of the Transatlantic Slave Trade era. They were supplying the slaves, and they were not enslaving themselves. They were taking non-Muslims into slavery.

Omar ibn Said, Yarrow Mamout, and Abdul Rahman Ibrahima Ibn Sori are used as examples of American slaves who were Muslims. But these men were all ambushed or waylaid Fulani and were not representative of large numbers of Fulani being enslaved.

James H. Johnston wrote about one of these Fulani brought to America, and says it right in the book:

…“Muslim slaves were uncommon”

That’s from From Slave Ship to Harvard: Yarrow Mamout and the History of an African American Family, by James H. Johnston.

Another Fulani slave was Rahman Ibrahima Ibn Sori, who was the subject of a Unity Productions movie called “Prince among Slaves.” Daniel Greenfield wrote about it here: “PRINCE OF LIES How a racist Muslim mass murderer of Africans became PBS’s role model.”

Not your typical friendly neighborhood slave.

There is a type of Muslim who will try to appropriate, in the name of Allah, anything that isn’t nailed down. That includes America. CAIR is like that. CAIR is an ardent supporter of teaching the 1619 Project in public schools. The thesis of the 1619 Project is that America began with the arrival of the first slaves.

There is another interesting detail to the Joint Resolution story. One of the bill’s co-sponsors is Ed Durr. Remember Ed Durr? He once spoke bluntly about Islam on social media. But now that he has been elected to the New Jersey State Senate, he is helping CAIR to bring revisionist history into New Jersey classrooms.

My guess is that News12 will not be around for any percentage of that.

“State lawmakers consider a bill to name January ‘Muslim Heritage Month,’” News 12, December 19, 2022:

New Jersey lawmakers are considering naming January “Muslim Heritage Month” in New Jersey.

Lawmakers have introduced a bill to make it so. The bill is backed by state Sen. Joe Pennacchio….

The Council of American-Islamic Relations testified on behalf of the new legislation.

“If the state of New Jersey truly takes great pride in the religious and cultural diversity of its residents, it is critical to pass Senate Joint Resolution, SJR-105, which would recognize our large community in the state,” says Madina Ouedraogo, government affairs manager for CAIR-NJ.

CAIR says it hopes the new bill can bring more awareness to the rise of anti-Muslim incidents in New Jersey.

UK: Military families have no heat or hot water as government hosts illegal migrants in plush hotels

Dhimmitude has taken full reign in the UK, with mostly Muslim migrants from the Middle East and North Africa swarming into the country via the English Channel for years. The invasion of unvetted migrants is getting worse. Now hundreds of posh hotels are crammed with migrants, while “hundreds of troops and their families are freezing without heating or hot water.”

As always in Britain, authorities are expressing shock and making promises, but nothing will be done. Meanwhile, the UK is spending $8.5 million USD a day on hotels for illegals, and national security is disregarded as the country sinks economically and culturally.

According to the Migration Observatory at the University of Oxford, “In 2020, the top five most common countries of the nationality of people seeking asylum in the UK were Iran, Iraq, Albania, Eritrea, and Sudan,” which are all majority-Muslim countries except Eritrea, which has a significant Muslim minority. “Of all refugees resettled in the UK from January 2010 to December 2020, around 70% were Syrian.”

“How our heroes are being left to freeze in squalor: Members of Armed Forces and their families are issued sleeping bags and sleep in their coats as they are left in mold-ridden military homes without heating for WEEKS,” by Natasha Livingstone and Mark Hookham, Mail On Sunday, December 17, 2022:

Hundreds of troops and their families are freezing without heating or hot water this weekend as they desperately wait for repairs in rundown military homes.

Sleeping bags have been handed out to soldiers, their partners and children as they shiver in Army homes, many of which have had no heat or hot water for weeks.

Private contractor Pinnacle faces mounting questions over the scandal after it was given a £144million contract in March to manage Britain’s 49,000 service family homes.

The company, whose boss earns £320,000 a year, responded to the crisis by setting up an emergency helpline – with an automated message that advised desperate callers to heat their pipes with hot water bottles or warm flannels.

But families said they spent hours desperately trying to call for help as harrowing stories emerged of young children developing viral infections and sleeping in their coats in subzero temperatures.

Last night Defence Secretary Ben Wallace vowed to intervene to deal with the crisis. He tweeted: ‘I have directed those responsible for accommodation services to up their game.

I shall be speaking to all the chief executives directly early next week.’ A senior defence source called the crisis a disgrace, while the Ministry of Defence admitted that it was unacceptable and sent letters of apology to every family in military accommodation.

With the cold snap biting, soldiers were allowed to sign out extra sleeping bags for are no appointments for days.’

Pinnacle’s contract was supposed to end decades of sub-standard conditions. Last month it was reported that nearly a third of UK military homes needed repairs.

Sources said families with ‘total loss of heating’ (with a temporary solution provided) were eligible for a £1 voucher per 24 hours.

The Ministry of Defence said: ‘It is unacceptable some personnel and their families are not receiving the level of accommodation services they deserve.

Across the 46,197 homes managed in the contract, some are experiencing issues due to the sharp drop in temperatures.

‘We are working quickly with our contractors to resolve heating and water problems, on top of spending tens of millions to upgrade thousands of homes in the last year.’…

France: Churches, synagogues, schools installing emergency call buttons after Islamic jihad attacks

The celebrations of diversity in France are getting pretty raucous these days.

“Diversity is our strength? The French city of Nice now features emergency buttons in churches after Islamic terror attacks,” by Denes Albert, ReMix News, December 21, 2022:

Europe has dramatically changed over the years, with Christmas markets now featuring security barriers and governments using terrorism threats to justify a massive expansion of surveillance powers. Now, Europeans can add emergency buttons in churches to the list of changes that the threat of Islamic terrorism and other increasing security concerns have introduced to the continent.

After the terrorist attack committed by a boat migrant hit Nice, which targeted the Notre-Dame basilica on Oct. 29, 2020, the municipality reinforced security in places of worship and, during a meeting in 2021, offered churches and other places of worship the emergency devices.

The priest was hospitalized with chest and leg wounds after being attacked by a man with a knife in a church in Nice in the south of France

During an interview with BFM TV on Oct. 28, the rector of the Notre-Dame basilica admitted that he had used this button since its installation. Contacted by Nice-Matin, Father Franklin Parmentier cites the example of a young man who entered the basilica in July 2021 with “aggressive” and “very suspicious” behavior. The police were notified by means of an emergency call button installed after the 2020 attack, and officers arrested the individual.

“It has shown its usefulness and it works,” Father Parmentier says. “What is reassuring is the rapid and effective intervention of the police services.”…

However, it is not just churches that have installed the emergency call boxes. Nice features 1,400 of these emergency call boxes now, including in hospitals, schools, places of culture, cinemas, and local associations. The emergency system, which was launched in 2015, has recorded 1,700 incidents since the beginning of 2022, said Anthony Borré, first deputy mayor for security….

Borré said that those in charge of places of worship are increasingly requesting the emergency devices.

“If we had proposed this 10 years ago, it would have been refused immediately.” The tool has also been adopted by the Jewish community in schools and some synagogues.

In Iran, So Many of the Murdered Turn Out to Be ‘Suicides’

More than 500 people have so far been murdered by the monstrous regime of killers in Iran in the first three months of the nationwide protests. “500 people” who need to be remembered, as individuals, by their names, and the true circumstances of their deaths. A handful of their stories are here: “Doctor Treating Protesters In Iran Dies In Suspicious Circumstances,” by Maryam Sinaee, Iran International, December 18, 2022:

Claims by Iranian officials that a female doctor who died with unusual injuries committed “suicide” has sparked suspicions of yet another death in custody.

The family of Dr. Aida Rostami were contacted by the local police the day after her disappearance, December 12, a source close to the family told Iran Wire Friday and that she had died in a car accident. The police said the body was at the morgue of Behesht-e Zahra Cemetery in the south of the capital Tehran….

The source also said medical examiners told the family, apparently in confidence, that she was not killed in a car accident, as the police had told the family, but that they were ordered not to reveal the true cause of death.

Sources close to the family have said when they insisted to view the body, they saw various injuries and bruises, including on her genitals, and broken arms. The lids of one of the eyes of the young doctor were stitched together, apparently to conceal the removal of the eyeball.

Think of the tortures Dr. Aida Rostami endured, including the loss of an eyeball, gouged out by her torturers before they finally killed her.

Judiciary authorities are now offering a completely different account of the circumstances of the young doctor’s death and have arrested a young man who they claim is suspected of throwing Dr. Rostami to her death from a pedestrian overpass after a quarrel over their relationship.

State media on Sunday published a video of the unnamed man who claimed Rostami was his girlfriend and that she had thrown herself from a pedestrian bridge after he left her and that he returned to find her body on the ground.

Like the “car accident” story, the Iranians have been declaring that many of the people, especially girls and women, have been murdered as “suicides.” In the case of Dr. Rostami, two new versions of her death were on offer. At first, she threw herself off a bridge when she was jilted by her boyfriend. In the second, now favored by the authorities, she was killed by a former boyfriend, who on camera admitted – no doubt under threats from the regime to follow the assigned script – that he had thrown her off a bridge. But that story doesn’t explain the bruises around her genitals, nor her empty eye socket.

Donya Farhadi, an architecture student, whose body was recently found, was a protester.

Authorities have explained the death of several young protesters in the past three months in similar ways, including the suspicious deaths of two teenagers in Tehran and Karaj in late September and early October. Authorities claimed Nika Shakarami and Sarina Esmailzadeh had both jumped to their deaths from the top of buildings.

Many of the deaths have been similarly ascribed to suicide by jumping off the tops of buildings. This allows the injuries inflicted by their torturers to be ascribed to the impact of their fall.

The death of Aylar Haqqi (Haghi), a 23-year-old medical student, whose body was found in a construction site in Tabriz on November 15, was also explained in the same way [suicide], although her relatives claim she was shot with shotgun pellets before her injured body was thrown down from the top of a building on the site.

The relatives examine the corpses and, despite being told to keep silent, in their grief and rage, they reveal the truth. In the case of Aylar Haqqi, they found evidence she had been hit with shotgun pellets, and then, injured but still alive, she was thrown from the top of a building at a construction site.

Families or sources close to the families of these young women have all said they were subjected to pressure and intimidation by security and intelligence forces who wanted them to validate their “scripted” accounts of their deaths.

The families of the murdered girls and women are pressured — threatened — to accept the “received versions” of their daughters/sisters/mothers/wives’ deaths as “suicides.” Many do not comply. They are now beyond fear.

On Friday another young woman’s body was found on the banks of Karoun River in a village near Ahvaz in southwest Iran by the locals. Authorities claim Donya Farhadi, a twenty-one-year-old student had fallen into the river from a bridge. Local sources have said on social media that the young woman was an active participant in the recent student protests.

One more variant: Donya Farhadi was apparently tossed into a river to drown (before or after torture is not specified); her death was ascribed to her as an accidental “falling from a bridge” rather than suicide.

Dr Rostami, 36, was last heard of on the evening of December 12 when she called her mother to say she was on her way to a wounded protester she was secretly treating and needed to buy more medical supplies.…

A busy medical doctor, in the midst of treating wounded protesters who need her desperately, and going on an errand to buy more medical supplies, does not fit anyone’s profile of a candidate for suicide.

An informed source told Iran International that Dr Rostami had been secretly treating protesters who feared arrest if they sought treatment for injuries and bullet wounds at hospitals, where agents usually wait to arrest protesters.

All these claimed “suicides” – these inexplicable falls from bridges and the tops of buildings – are undoubtedly murders by the Basij. All of these young women who supposedly committed suicide were in the midst of protesting themselves, or of treating the wounds of others who were protesters; they were in an exalted state of mind, the very opposite of depression, finally rebelling by the hundreds of thousands against the Iranian theocracy that has blighted so many lives. Each new “suicide” announced by officials in Tehran draws ever more scorn and fury at their attempts to hide their murders.

Germany: Islam critic Michael Stürzenberger recounts what happened when a Muslim attacked him as police stood by

At our last rally of the year in Bonn on Saturday, I got a punch on the head from a Muslim. Before that, he took a “Palestine” flag out of his jacket. View the video of the attack:

Here are the scenes before that. At minute 4:01, the Muslim comes into the picture and confronts me:

I reported on the egg-throwing and other objects at our recent rallies in Gladbeck and Leipzig, and the misconduct of the local police. He waited, and I thought, he is patient and wants to know something.

At minute 19:10, he asked me if I would take a breath before I speak. Then he said he had been looking for me all along and wanted to know what I wanted anyway if I wanted to get rich. I answered I want a ban on political Islam. He asked for a second time if I wanted to get rich. I answered that he probably didn’t know who he was dealing with: in front of him is a member of the reestablished White Rose, which is fighting against political Islam. We want to make the country safe.

Then he hit me in the face. It was a heavy blow, but fortunately, I have no serious injuries other than a facial bruise and a headache, plus momentary lightheadedness and physical weakness. Initial research revealed that he is probably an amateur kickboxer. The aide who was standing next to me received two slaps in the face and fell down. He now has tinnitus in his ear, two wounds on his face, and bruises on his leg.

Meanwhile, it seems that the Hamburg court is obviously in a hurry to put me in prison, and the deadline is already set for the beginning of next year.

Taliban Forbids University Education for Afghan Girls, U.S. Slams Decision

Taliban Forbids University Education for Afghan Girls, U.S. Slams Decision

SINGAPORE — Afghanistan’s Taliban rulers have forbidden university education for women throughout the country, eliciting criticism from the United States and the UN.

Despite international protests and pledging a more lenient rule when they took control of the country in 2021, the Taliban has increased the number of restrictions on all facets of women’s lives.

“You all are informed to immediately implement the mentioned order of suspending the education of females until further notice,” Minister for Higher Education Neda Mohammad Nadeem said in a letter sent to all government and private universities.

The ministry’s spokesman, Ziaullah Hashimi, who published the letter on Twitter, confirmed the order in a text message to Agence France-Presse (AFP).

Washington slammed the decision “in the strongest terms.”

“The Taliban cannot expect to be a legitimate member of the international community until they respect the rights of all in Afghanistan. This decision will come with consequences for the Taliban,” said Secretary of State Antony Blinken. “No country can thrive when half of its population is held back.”

UN Secretary-General António Guterres was “deeply alarmed” by the ban, his spokesman said on Tuesday. “The secretary-general reiterates that the denial of education not only violates the equal rights of women and girls but will have a devastating impact on the country’s future,” said Stephane Dujarric.

The prohibition on higher education comes less than three months after thousands of women took university entrance examinations nationwide, with many hoping to select teaching and medicine as future careers when the universities reopen in March, following the winter break.

After the seizure of the country by the Taliban, universities were required to enforce new rules such as gender-segregated classrooms and entrances. Only female professors or old men could teach female students.

Journalism student Madina, who wanted only her first name published, tried to grapple with the ramifications of Tuesday’s national order.

“I have nothing to say. Not only me but all my friends have no words to express our feelings,” the 18-year-old told AFP in Kabul. “Everyone is thinking about the unknown future ahead of them. They buried our dreams.”

The country was reverting to “dark days,” added medicine student “Rhea” in the capital, who asked that her real name not be divulged. “When we were hoping to make progress, they are removing us from society,” the 26-year-old said.

The Taliban adheres to a strict version of Islam, with the movement’s supreme leader Hibatullah Akhundzada and his inner circle of Afghan clerics being against modern education, especially for girls and women.

However, many officials in Kabul and among the rank and file oppose the latest move by the Taliban, as the former hoped girls would be permitted to continue learning following the takeover. “There are serious differences in the Taliban ranks on girls’ education, and the latest decision will increase these differences,” a Taliban commander based in northwest Pakistan told AFP on condition of anonymity.

In March, the Taliban stopped girls from returning to secondary schools, drastically restricting university intake.

While some Taliban officials claim the secondary education ban is only temporary, they have provided many excuses to prolong the prohibition — from a scarcity of funds to the duration needed to align the syllabus to Islamic lines.

Women have also been forced out of many government jobs or are being paid a reduced salary to stay at home. They are also banned from traveling without a male relative; must cover up outside the home, ideally with a burqa; and in November were banned from going to parks, funfairs, gyms, and public baths.

In response, the international community has made the right to education for all women a topic of discussion over aid and acknowledgement of the Taliban regime.

“The international community has not and will not forget Afghan women and girls,” the UN Security Council said in September.

However, Pakistan, Afghanistan’s neighbor, said on Tuesday that engagement with the Taliban was still the best path forward. “I’m disappointed by the decision that was taken today,” Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said on a visit to Washington. However, he continued, “I still think the easiest path to our goal — despite having a lot of setbacks when it comes to women’s education and other things — is through Kabul and through the interim government.”

In the two decades between the Taliban’s reigns, girls were permitted to go to school and women were able to seek jobs in all sectors, though the country remained socially conservative.

In Kabul, where the country’s largest universities are located, female students convened outside campuses, wearing the black cloaks and tight headscarves imposed by the Taliban.

Elsewhere, students sought consolation from friends and family as they came to terms with news of the university ban. “We all felt like caged birds, we hugged each other, screamed, and cried ‘why is this happening to us?'” said Amini, a 23-year-old nursing student in Kunduz.

She was with her three sisters — two already banned from secondary school and another studying for a degree — when social media erupted with the news of the late-night order.

Facilities across the country were already shut for the winter break, but students had been able to go to campuses for examinations or to study in libraries. In Kandahar, the cradle and spiritual heart of the Taliban movement, male students were able to sit for examinations in classrooms still separated by screens, which until the day before made it possible for women to study.

After the order, however, the university gates shut female students out.

“My sister is studying computer science…. I didn’t inform her last night. I know she would be traumatized,” said a young male law student in Kabul, who asked not to be named for fear of the Taliban. “It really expresses (the Taliban’s) illiteracy and poor knowledge of Islam and human rights. If the situation continues like this, the future will be worse. Everyone is scared.”

“We have no power to do anything and there is no one to listen to us,” said one 29-year-old female, who is pursuing a master’s in Pashto literature in Kabul.

“We can’t protest, we are hopeless. In every aspect of life we are doomed,” she continued. “We don’t have jobs, we can’t go anywhere, and we can’t leave the country. We have lost everything.”

Although devastated, she still has a glimmer of hope that the Taliban — whose restrictions on women are escalating — will scale back on their decision after the winter break. “We will wait for the next three months to see if they change their order. They might change their policies and restart the universities.”

In the eastern city of Jalalabad, some male students walked out of their examinations to oppose the decision. The female student encouraged men to stop attending classes altogether in protest if the Taliban does not relent. “They too must stay at home until the girls are allowed to go back,” she pleaded.

Notably, the authorities have reverted to public floggings and executions of men and women in recent weeks as they enforce a strict interpretation of Islamic sharia law.

Far-Left Muslima who is member of Muslim Brotherhood group elected to Ohio state legislature

The Chicago Tribune reported back in 2004 that “in recent years, the U.S. Brotherhood operated under the name Muslim American Society, according to documents and interviews. One of the nation’s major Islamic groups, it was incorporated in Illinois in 1993 after a contentious debate among Brotherhood members.” As a validation of the accuracy of this report, it is now carried on the Muslim Brotherhood’s English-language website, Ikhwanweb.)

Muslim Brotherhood organizations in the United States are dedicated, according to a captured internal document, to “eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within, and sabotaging its miserable house.”

“Did Ohio Just Elect The Next Ilhan Omar?,” by Benjamin Baird, The Federalist, December 14, 2022:

As the first Somali Muslim woman elected to the Ohio state legislature, Munira Abdullahi is expected to bring “diversity” and “new perspectives” to the Ohio House of Representatives, according to her supporters. What they don’t tell you is that the 26-year-old belongs to a radical Sunni Islamist organization that uses youth indoctrination, charity, and social work to grow its political power and spread theocratic, often illiberal views.

Based on her background and career trajectory, Abdullahi could feasibly become the next Ilhan Omar — Minnesota’s far-left congresswoman known for expressing radical, antisemitic opinions and consorting with various Islamist groups. Indeed, the Ohio legislator shares striking similarities with Omar, the first Somali Muslim elected to her state’s legislature in 2016 and the first Muslim woman elected to Congress….

Omar, who will soon be a third-term congresswoman, works closely with American Islamist organizations and is known to advance legislation on their behalf. For her part, Abdullahi doesn’t just associate with extremist groups — she is a card-carrying member of the Muslim American Society, a notoriously extreme Islamist group that the United Arab Emirates designated as a terrorist organization in 2014.

In fact, MAS is the “overt arm of the Muslim Brotherhood in America,” according to federal prosecutors, or the U.S. branch of a global, pan-Islamic organization known for its violent history in the Middle East. Since 2012, Abdullahi has worked part-time as a youth director at MAS-Columbus, and she was promoted in March to the role of program manager at the national office.

Abdullahi is not just employed by MAS. She also accepted campaign donations from MAS officials. In September, the representative-elect even redirected campaign funds to her employer, raising serious concerns about how she might use her public office to benefit a controversial Islamist group.

MAS officially denies belonging to an international Ikhwan al-Muslimeen (Muslim Brotherhood) network. However, a 2004 Chicago Tribune report citing internal memos and the accounts of early MAS leaders found that members voted early on to purposefully obscure the group’s ties to the broader Islamist movement.

With just 3 or 4 million Muslims living in America, the Muslim Brotherhood understands that its grand vision of establishing Islamic governments may have to wait. In the meantime, MAS prefers to “convert Americans to Islam and elect like-minded Muslims to political office,” according to a former member.

Despite these theocratic goals, Abdullahi is convinced that Christian conservatives — and not Islamists — represent a threat to religious freedom in America. “They [conservatives] want to put church into state,” she said during a September podcast.

“Conservatives operate on a sense where they will force you to follow their beliefs,” she continued. “That’s not how Islam works, and that’s not how Muslims work in a country where this is not an Islamic country, so we can’t legislate people based on our beliefs.”

In particular, the Columbus chapter of MAS, which Abdullahi calls home, is known for its close ties to international Muslim Brotherhood figures. From its earliest years, MAS-Columbus came under the sway of Salah Soltan, a senior Muslim Brotherhood leader from Egypt who sat on the Columbus board from 2000 to 2004….

Son of Biden’s Iran Envoy Works for ‘Iran Lobby’

December 20, 2022 John

Tehran is calling the shots in D.C.

Robert Malley

BY DANIEL GREENFIELD

SEE: https://www.frontpagemag.com/son-of-bidens-iran-envoy-works-for-iran-lobby/;

Republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, & research purposes.

During the 2008 election, the Obama campaign dropped Robert Malley as an adviser over his work with Hamas on behalf of George Soros’ International Crisis Group. Once in office, Obama brought back his old buddy into the National Security Council.

Malley (pictured above) then became the lead negotiator for the sellout deal to legitimize Iran’s nuclear program.

Despite vocal criticism from Iranian dissidents and the country’s freedom movement, Biden chose Malley as his special envoy to Iran. Even as Robert Malley continues conducting outreach to the Islamic terrorist state on behalf of the Biden administration, his son works at a pro-Iran organization tied to a key figure in the Iran Lobby.

Robert was the son of Simon Malley, an adviser to PLO terrorist leader Yasser Arafat and the founder of a Communist party in Arafat’s native homeland of Egypt. Blaise Malley represents the third generation of the family’s leftist radicalism being used to prop up Islamist movements.

The son of Biden’s envoy to Iran spends his time undermining American efforts against Iran.

Blaise Malley is listed as a full-time reporter for the Quincy Institute run and funded by key figures in the pro-Iran movement. His most recent article agitates against further American involvement in the conflict against the Iranian-backed Houthi terrorists in Yemen whose motto is, “Death to America, Death to Israel, Curse to the Jews, Victory to Islam.”

Iran spends an estimated $20 million a year backing the Houthis. Their ability to hold parts of Yemen is crucial to the terror regime’s ambitions for the region. America’s first strike against the Houthis was actually in response to their cruise missile attack on the USS Mason.

The Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft was founded by George Soros and Charles Koch. Its donors include a roster of leftists and their foundations including the Ford Foundation, the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, Barbara Streisand, and Frank Giustra: the billionaire at the center of the Clinton Foundation scandal involving the sale of Uranium One to Russia.

The executive VP of Quincy however is Trita Parsi: a dual Iranian-Swedish national who founded the National Iranian American Council. NIAC, described by critics as the ‘Iran Lobby’, has been accused of violating tax laws and the Foreign Agents Registration Act.

Quincy’s board includes Francis Najafi. a wealthy Iranian real estate developer who is also a major funder of NIAC, Amir Handjani, the exclusive broker for an American company doing business with Iran, and a Quincy Institute fellow, who also appears to be a donor.

Masih Alinejad, the Iranian-American dissident journalist targeted for kidnapping by the regime, tweeted, “NIAC and Quincy are the Russia Today of the Iranian Regime. They spend all of their time defaming critics of the Islamic Republic, myself included. When the regime attempts to kill us they’re either silent or mealy-mouthed. ”

As an envoy, Robert Malley is in theory supposed to represent American interests. At a minimum, close family members of Biden’s envoy to Iran should not be employed by an organization that has a vehement pro-Iran agenda and ties to pro-Iranian financial interests.

But Blaise, who was nurtured by the same Islamist-internationalist network, who served as a managing editor at the Journal of Middle East Studies and wrote his thesis on “Is a Left/Right Coalition on Non-Interventionist Foreign Policy Feasible” is just the latest incarnation of the Malley family which seems to have been bred to undermine America and support its enemies. It’s only a matter of time until Blaise rises through the think tanks and then into the government.

And Blaise is benefiting from some of the same connections that followed his father around.

A recent letter in defense of Robert Malley fumed that, “those who accuse Malley of sympathy for the Islamic Republic have no grasp of – or no interest in – true diplomacy”. It was signed by, among others, Trita Parsi’s brother, a board member at NIAC, Amir Handjani, a board member, and two fellows at Quincy. How better to dispute the accusation that Malley is on Iran’s side?

The difference between father and son is that the elder Malley is embedded within the government and has to be a bit discreet, while the younger Malley is free to do his best Tokyo Rose impression in the virtual pages of any publication that will run his propaganda.

In The American Prospect, a leftist publication, Blaise Malley warned that “Iran’s leadership may also have lost trust in an American government”, and suggested that the Islamic terror state might be “keeping the door open to improving relations with the United States”, but cautioned that “it would be a mistake to assume that Iran doesn’t have a say in the deal’s future as well.”

Iranian propaganda could hardly be any more clearly packaged.

In The New Republic, Blaise Malley claimed that sanctions on Iran had killed 13,000 people despite the fact that food and medicine are not sanctioned. Malley quoted a Quincy official complaining that America had sanctioned Iran and “we won’t guarantee to lift the sanctions if they go back to doing what we wanted.”

“No good has come of trying to isolate other authoritarian countries, such as Iran, North Korea, and others,” Blaise Malley whined at the Washington Examiner.

Forget isolating them abroad, the question is how do we isolate them at home?

Foreign agents for Iran, Qatar, the Muslim Brotherhood, and the entire network around them have overrun D.C. and the media. And top government officials are complicit in the corruption.

As Iranians protest for freedom in the streets, Robert Malley and the pro-Iran influence networks have been caught up in the backlash. Malley was forced to apologize for a tweet that he described as “poorly worded”. And NIAC, Quincy, and their circle have tried to reject allegations that they are part of an ‘Iran Lobby’ by offering some concerned noises about the protests.

The Malley family has come a long way since the French Interior Minister stated that Robert’s father and Blaise’s grandfather were issuing “genuine appeals to murder foreign chiefs of state”.

But while the presentation may have changed, the underlying content remains the same.

The Biden administration is maneuvering to appear to condemn the Islamist regime’s brutal crackdown on the protests while covertly supporting it. But it’s hard to maintain that illusion when the son of Biden’s envoy to Iran is pushing Iranian propaganda for the Iran Lobby.

Who’s Sending Stacks of Hundred-Dollar Bills to the Taliban?

December 20, 2022 John

Republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, & research purposes.

Da Afghanistan Bank, Afghanistan’s Taliban-controlled central bank, tweeted the images on Nov. 29, Dec. 5, Dec. 6, and last Wednesday: massive stacks of American hundred-dollar bills, wrapped in plastic, bar-coded, and placed in boxes or blue plastic bags on the tarmac at the Kabul airport. The bank said this was $40 million in “humanitarian aid,” but said nothing about who had sent it. One observer says that judging from the photos, there looks to be much more than $40 million flowing into the Taliban’s coffers. So who is funding the Taliban with tens of millions in untraceable cash?

The prime suspect, of course, is Old Joe Biden and his handlers, which may explain why it looks as if it’s more than a paltry forty million bucks. Dr. Anas Iqtait of the Centre of Arab and Islamic Studies at Australian National University, noting that “what is very clear is that it is not clear where this cash is being shipped from,” added that Da Bank’s photos looked to be of far more than that: “Especially on the runway, it may have been hundreds of millions of dollars.”

That’s how much Biden’s handlers have pledged to Taliban-controlled Afghanistan. On Aug. 31, 2021, Old Joe declared, “We will continue to support the Afghan people through diplomacy, international influence, and humanitarian aid.” Then in January 2022, National Security Council spokeswonk Emily Horne said proudly, “The United States is announcing a new contribution of more than $308 million in humanitarian assistance for the people of Afghanistan. This brings total US humanitarian aid in Afghanistan and for Afghan refugees in the region to nearly $782 million since October 2021, and we remain the single largest donor of humanitarian aid in Afghanistan.”

Biden’s handlers insisted that the Taliban would not get this money, but never adequately explained how it would be kept away from the group that has no significant challenges to its rule in 90% of the country. Da Afghanistan Bank insisted, however, that the money was going to unfortunate people in the country: “Any principled action that leads to the transfer of reserves to the country and helps the needy people of the society, the Da Afghanistan Bank appreciates it, and this bank will continue its efforts in strengthening the banking sector.”

That sounded fine, but the Australian Broadcasting Corporation pointed out that “the bank has not clarified where the cash is coming from, or what it meant by humanitarian aid, prompting concerns over financial transparency in Afghanistan.” Iqtait noted that Da Bank’s tweets have been “quite vague” about what exactly the money is for. “This is not money for humanitarian support,” he explained, “otherwise it would have gone through other destinations. Yes, the tweets say that, but … I think they are talking about how any humanitarian effort to support the Afghan people is welcome.” He also added that some governments around the world have “shown leniency towards the Taliban government,” but wouldn’t name any of the offenders, as if we didn’t know who they were.

The chief offender is Old Joe, but there’s also the UN, which, according to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, “has imported $US1.8 billion in cash to fund humanitarian operations in Afghanistan since December 2021.” This cash, according to a spokesman for the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA), is “then credited to the respective AIB [Afghan International Bank] accounts of the various United Nations agencies, funds and programs and approved international humanitarian partners, non-government and international government organizations. In turn, the various organizations are able to use the funds, either in US dollars or converted to Afghanis as needed, in order to maintain their operations in the country.” The wonk added that “this cash transfer mechanism is essential for the day-to-day operations of UNAMA, United Nations agencies, funds and programs (UNICEF, UNHCR, WFP, UN Women, OCHA, UN Habitat, WHO, FAO, IOM and others) and other humanitarian partners.”

Counterintuitively, sending massive amounts in cash is supposed to “increase accountability, transparency and the effective use of aid, and manage risks including the risk of aid diversion.” The UN spokesperson did not, however, explain how handing out mad stacks of hundred dollars bills would do anything but decrease accountability and increase the risk of aid diversion. And for some reason, “the agency did not directly respond to a question asking if the cash in the central bank tweet was UN aid money.” Why not? What does anyone have to hide in all this?

Dr. Niamatullah Ibrahimi, whom the Australian Broadcasting Corporation identifies as “an international relations lecturer and Afghanistan expert from La Trobe University,” said that it would not be difficult at all for the Taliban to hijack this aid money: “The distribution and dispersal of the money is not very transparent. There is very little that we know about how this money is used in Afghanistan and the mechanisms of control over aid delivery.”

Indeed. But no one seems to mind, and the money just keeps flowing in. What could possibly go wrong?

IRAN: The Mullahs’ Public Hangings~The depravity of the theocratic regime knows no bounds.

December 19, 2022 John

BY STRUAN STEVENSON

SEE: https://www.frontpagemag.com/the-mullahs-resort-to-public-hangings/;

Republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, & research purposes.

The depravity of the Iranian theocratic regime knows no bounds, as it has once again resorted to horrific acts of barbarity in an attempt to suppress the nationwide uprising, now into its 87^th day. The mullahs’ regime announced on December 12 that they had hanged a young protester in public in the city of Mashhad in northeastern Iran. Majidreza Rahnavard was publicly executed less than three weeks after his arrest for participating in anti-regime protests. Majidreza was hanged from a crane after being lifted slowly into the air and left kicking and struggling as he slowly asphyxiated. He was denied access to legal representation at his trial and severely tortured in prison, suffering a broken arm and other injuries. Afraid that signs of torture on his body would be exposed, the mullahs ordered Majidreza’s body to be buried in secret, without informing his family.

The medieval brutality of Majidreza Rahnavard’s public execution comes only days after the hanging of Mohsen Shekari, a 23-year-old student arrested during the ongoing protests, tortured into making a confession, then sentenced to death for the mullahs’ sham offense of “waging war against God.” The clerical regime’s resort to torture and execution as they attempt to quell the escalating revolution is testimony to their increasing panic and desperation as they try to cling to power. They are prepared to defy all legal norms and all basic human rights in their vicious retaliatory measures against their own people. The civilized world must hold them to account. More than 700 mostly young men and women have been murdered so far by the regime in their shoot-to-kill policy of confronting the protests. Over 30,000 have been arrested and many more death sentences will be carried out unless the civilized nations of the world intervene.

The execution of the two young protesters has clear echoes of the 1988 massacre of over 30,000 political prisoners in Iran, mostly young male and female supporters of the main democratic movement, the Mojahedin-e Khalq (MEK). They were executed on the orders of the psychotic Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. Iran’s current president, Ebrahim Raisi, is known as ‘The Butcher of Tehran’ for his central role as one of the key members of a ’Death Commission’ that ordered the executions during that notorious massacre. Indeed, it was an order from Raisi to crack down on women who failed to adhere to strict, misogynistic dress codes, that led to the death in custody in September of Mahsa Amini, the young Kurdish girl murdered by the so-called morality police, for failing to wear her hijab properly. Mahsa Amini’s death sparked the nationwide uprising that has now entered its fourth consecutive month and is evolving rapidly into a full-scale revolution.

The current Supreme Leader, the elderly and delusional Ali Khamenei, has repeatedly blamed the MEK for instigating and coordinating the insurrection and is clearly determined, like his predecessor, to have recourse to the public execution of political prisoners as a gruesome warning to Iran’s incensed 85 million population, that their protests will be met by certain death. It is a major miscalculation. For every death of a protester, the public has become more enraged. The crowds chant slogans such as: “Death to Khamenei,” “Death to the dictator,” “Bloodthirsty Khamenei, we will bury you,” and “Khamenei is a murderer, his rule is null and void.” The chants have become more radical, calling for the complete overthrow of the regime, as the mostly young protesters have taken to the streets in over 280 cities in Iran. Sick of four decades of repression that has culminated in soaring inflation, increasing unemployment, systematic corruption, discrimination, and human rights abuse, the population of Iran has signaled enough is enough. The active participation of Kurds, Balochis, Turks, and other national minorities of Iran is an important aspect of the insurrection. They have been chanting “From Kurdistan to Tehran, I will sacrifice my life for Iran”, “From Zahedan to Tehran, I will sacrifice my life for Iran”, and “Shi’ites and Sunnis are brothers who hate the leader to death.”

Students, including thousands of young women from almost all of Iran’s universities, have joined the nationwide insurrection. The main universities are either on strike or, despite repressive measures by the security forces, stage regular demonstrations. They have been joined in solidarity by primary and high school pupils and by shop owners, bazaar merchants, workers, and other traders. Truck drivers have taken industrial action across Iran, crippling the already broken economy. The mullahs’ regime is at its weakest point and its demise is imminent.

The UN Security Council, the US, and the EU must take immediate action to prevent further acts of barbarism by the fascist, theocratic regime. Rhetoric is not enough. It is now incumbent on the international community to express its outrage and prevent yet more crimes against humanity. They must not hide behind a wall of silence. Tough action is necessary. Iran’s embassies should be closed, and their diplomats expelled. The Ministry of Intelligence & Security (MOIS) and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) should be placed on terrorist blacklists. The increasingly fanatical and vicious Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and his cohorts must be held to account for crimes against humanity and made to face trial in the international courts. Above all, the West must stand up and be counted. Tehran’s depravity can no longer be tolerated. The West must show their support for the people of Iran, together with their courageous MEK Resistance Units, who are spearheading the insurrection.

Millions in Hundred Dollar Bills Flown to the Taliban for “Humanitarian Aid”~Terrorists are being funded in plain sight

December 19, 2022 John

YOU THOUGHT THIS WAS BAD?

Biden Prints Money for the Taliban;

The Taliban chop hands while Biden funds them.

SEE: https://gop-foreignaffairs.house.gov/press-release/mccaul-presses-admin-for-withheld-information-on-botched-afghanistan-withdrawal/

As bad as Biden’s retreat was, the aftermath is even more troubling. The Biden administration has robbed 9/11 families to fund terrorists. It’s stonewalling an inspector general within the federal government while moving massive amounts of money into a terrorist state. All of this is happening even as the Taliban are openly using sharia punishments and abusing women. The myth of a kinder, gentler Taliban has fallen apart, but the money keeps coming. An explosive conclusion to be drawn from its aftermath is that the Biden administration had set out to enable a Taliban takeover and then to prop it up using financial, military, and political mechanisms.

Blue bags of cash sit on an airport tarmac

As the Taliban were taking over Afghanistan, I predicted that Biden would fund the Taliban using “humanitarian aid” as a pretext. Since then, Biden has provided $1.1 billion in Afghan aid.

Despite assurances that the money would not go to the terrorists, the Biden administration issued global licenses authorizing financial transactions with the Taliban and the Al Qaeda-allied Haqqani Network that include the “delivery and provision of humanitarian aid”.

Biden looted $3.5 billion from money awarded to the families of 9/11 victims in a lawsuit against the Taliban and put in a “trust fund” to provide “humanitarian aid”. His DOJ then went to court arguing that the judgment for the victims was too large and that it interfered with the Biden administration’s foreign policy in Afghanistan.

Now an Australian Broadcasting Corporation report has revealed massive stacks of hundred-dollar bills sitting on the tarmac at Kabul International Airport. ABC noted that “the picture is just one of several images of United States $100 notes boxed, bagged, or bound in plastic, posted on Twitter by the Taliban-controlled central bank of Afghanistan in recent weeks.”

ABC quoted an expert who suggested that there was a lot more than $40 million in the shipment.

“Especially on the runway, it may have been hundreds of millions of dollars,” he said.

A day earlier the bank had announced that it “wants to auction up to (14) million US dollars”.

The purpose of such dollar auctions is to stabilize the value of the ‘Afghani’, the country’s currency, against the dollar. The “humanitarian aid” here appears to consist of millions of dollars being shipped into a terrorist state to prop up its otherwise worthless currency.

The bank claims to have received “humanitarian aid” of $40 million in hundred-dollar bills. And the bank described it as the second shipment of cash that had arrived in one week.

Overall this is the third such shipment amounting to $120 million.

The exact origin of the money is unclear, but the packaging is in English and that together with the currency, suggests that it’s either being sent by the Biden administration or with its consent.

A previous shipment of $40 million in August showed bags of cash being flown in through Ariana Afghan Airlines, which had been used to fly Al Qaeda terrorists, drugs, and guns, but has been subsidized to charter hostage evacuation flights by the Biden administration.

In the intervening months, it has yet to be clarified where all this cash is actually coming from.

The one thing that is abundantly clear is that the concept of humanitarian aid has been perverted into massive shipments of money into terrorist zones, in violation of sanctions, without even the pretense that the money is buying food, medicine, or anything we associate with aid.

Propping up Afghanistan’s economy by providing it with a ready supply of cash has been reinterpreted as humanitarian aid when it’s actually foreign aid. But the Biden administration does not want to admit that it’s providing terrorists with massive amounts of foreign aid.

There’s nothing that Biden won’t do for the Taliban that he won’t classify as humanitarian aid.

In November, Front Page Magazine exclusively revealed that the Biden administration had been working to enable the Taliban to print money. The Biden administration admitted that it was “working hard with international banks to facilitate payment transfers from Afghanistan’s central bank to European printing companies where new banknotes would actually be produced” to “replace what had been crumbling banknotes in Afghanistan.”

What else is the Biden administration moving to the Taliban?

Not only Front Page Magazine or members of Congress, but even the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction can’t get any answers.

The State Department and Samantha Power’s USAID have gone so far as to order their personnel to refuse to cooperate with audits of their Afghanistan spending. State and USAID stonewalled the inspector general’s office, refusing to reveal “funding information regarding its ongoing programs in Afghanistan, citing ongoing consultation with its legal counsel”.

The special inspector general’s office revealed that USAID and the Treasury Department “refused to cooperate… in any capacity.”

In December, Rep. McCaul sent yet another letter to Secretary of State Blinken, Power and Treasury Secretary Yellen, warning that their refusal to cooperate with the special inspector general’s office “is a flagrant violation of the law and part of a lengthy pattern of obstruction by the Biden Administration”.

One of the stonewalled audits, according to a letter from the inspector general’s office to Samantha Power, “evaluates your agencies’ compliance with the laws and regulations prohibiting transfers of funds to members of the Taliban and the Haqqani Network.”

If USAID were in compliance with laws on transferring money to terrorists, it wouldn’t be refusing to cooperate with an audit. Every new revelation about the terror cash pipeline makes the administration look worse. The latest Afghanistan watchdog report strongly suggested that the Taliban had gotten access to $57 million sent to the Afghan government before the fall.

“Once the money was transferred, US agencies lost visibility over those funds and relied on the Afghan government to disburse funds for their intended purposes,” the report warned.

But that $57 million pales in comparison to the over $1 billion in Afghanistan aid.

All of this is happening even as the Taliban are openly using sharia punishments and abusing women. The myth of a kinder, gentler Taliban has fallen apart, but the money keeps coming.

And that’s not all.

A “high-level delegation” that included a top CIA figure met with the Taliban and agreed not to “fund any armed groups or non-state actors in the country”, particularly the Northern Alliance members who had originally helped us liberate Afghanistan.

What if anything has the Taliban offered in exchange for agreeing to betray our allies?

That’s one of the many unanswered questions about what Biden is doing in Afghanistan. The disastrous retreat could look like a comedy of errors, but it’s looking less accidental all the time.

An explosive conclusion to be drawn from its aftermath is that the Biden administration had set out to enable a Taliban takeover and then to prop it up using financial, military, and political mechanisms. The stonewalling and the cover-ups, which include trying to classify every substantive congressional briefing, paint a much darker picture of a hidden agenda.

Over a decade ago, Obama set out to topple most of our allies in the Middle East and replace their governments with brutal Islamist tyrannies dedicated to the same values as the Taliban.

His old staffers appear to be continuing Obama’s work in Afghanistan.

Hamas-Linked CAIR Demands Renaming of Ship Honoring Americans Killed by Muslim Terrorists

“The Navy should not name a vessel after notorious battles in Fallujah”

CAIR has gotten better at camouflaging what it is, and it’s gained enormous political influence, but every now and then it sets out to remind you that it’s the arm of a Jihadist operation whose allegiance is to the enemies of this country.

This is one of those times.

Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro named a future landing helicopter assault ship after the first and second Battle of Fallujah, the Navy announced Tuesday.

LHA-9, an America-class amphibious assault ship, will be called USS Fallujah, the Navy said in a news release. Del Toro announced the name at a promotion ceremony for Private 1st Class Chesty, the Marine Corps bulldog mascot.

“The name selection follows the tradition of naming amphibious ships after the U.S. Marine Corps battles, early U.S. sailing ships or legacy names of earlier carriers from World War II,” Del Toro said during the announcement. “It is an honor for me for our nation to memorialize the Marines, the soldiers and coalition forces that fought valiantly and those who sacrificed their lives during both battles of Fallujah.”

The two battles of Fallujah were fought in 2004 during the Iraq War. The first, occurring in April, was an effort to kill or capture insurgents thought to be responsible for the deaths of four U.S. contractors. The second, in November and December, was a U.S. attempt to retake control of Fallujah, according to the Navy announcement.

I’m not a fan of Del Toro, but this is the right thing to do. According to everyone. Except for our enemies.

Speaking of our enemies, CAIR objects.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, today called on the U.S. Navy to change the name of the future America-class amphibious assault ship “USS Fallujah.”

“Just as our nation would never name a ship the ‘USS Abu Ghraib,’ the Navy should not name a vessel after notorious battles in Fallujah that left hundreds of civilians dead, and countless children suffering from birth defects for years afterward,” said CAIR National Deputy Director Edward Ahmed Mitchell. “There must be a better name for this ship – one that does not evoke horrific scenes from an illegal and unjust war.”

In 2021, CAIR called on major console companies, including Microsoft (X Box) and Sony (PlayStation) and Valve not to host or digitally distribute the video game “Six Days in Fallujah.”

Losers rarely like to be reminded of losing battles.

In Fallujah, the United States was fighting a number of Sunni Jihadis (CAIR is a Sunni operation linked to the Muslim Brotherhood), some of which would become part of ISIS.

The Muslim Brotherhood endorsed the “resistance”.

The Brotherhood’s spiritual leader, Yusuf al-Qaradawi, issued a fatwa declaring that “Those killed fighting the American forces are martyrs.”

CAIR isn’t concerned about “civilian casualties” in Iraq. Qaradawi had complained about Saudi attempts to tamp down support for terrorism, “It is unfortunate to hear that the grand imam has said it was not permissible to kill civilians in any country or state, even in Israel.”

And what’s CAIR’s view of Qaradawi?

Nihad Awad, founder and executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), described Qaradawi as “The most influential contemporary Muslim scholar.”

CAIR’s San Francisco Bay Area chapter headed by former Women’s March board member Zahra Billoo, mourned him calling Qaradawi’s passing “the end of an era in contemporary Islam.”

The Bund probably wouldn’t have favored ships named after battles in which the Nazis lost. CAIR doesn’t like to have its nose rubbed in Fallujah.

While the Iraq War was a waste of resources, we ought to remember Fallujah because the day will come when we may be refighting it in this country.

“Under extraordinary odds, the Marines prevailed against a determined enemy who enjoyed all the advantages of defending in an urban area,” Berger said in the statement. “The Battle of Fallujah is, and will remain, imprinted in the minds of all Marines and serves as a reminder to our Nation, and its foes, why our Marines call themselves the world’s finest.”

Let’s take a moment to remember how Fallujah began. And consider how history has a way of repeating itself.

Exactly how the contractors’ convoy was stopped probably never will be clear. Some reports suggested it had made the fatal mistake of hitting the brakes when armed men blocked the path, rather than flooring the accelerator in the hope of barging through. Others suggested the occupants already had been killed by gunshots before their cars even ground to a halt.

Given what happened next, their grieving families probably hope profoundly that it was the latter. In an act of savagery shocking even by the blood-soaked standards of Iraq’s worst trouble spot, the bodies of the four men inside the vehicles were beaten, burned, hacked at and then dragged through the streets of Fallujah.

In what turned into a macabre and murderous town fete, locals cheered as one corpse was attached to a car tow rope and pulled triumphantly up and down the main road in full view of a camera crew.
But there was worse to come: As a crowning glory for the insurgent gunmen, the remains of two charred and mangled corpses were hung from a green iron bridge across the Euphrates River.

“The people of Fallujah hanged some of the bodies on the old bridge like slaughtered sheep,” resident Abdul Aziz Mohammed said gleefully.

It wouldn’t surprise me too much if Abdul is living in Dearborn these days.

A Conversation with Ruwa Romman on a Broad Range of Issues and Being Muslim in America

American Muslims Make Historic Midterm Gains

Muslims now make up 10% of the Georgia Senate Democrat delegation.

BY DANIEL GREENFIELD

SEE: https://www.frontpagemag.com/how-the-irs-helped-cair-islamists-win-georgia-elections/;

Republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, & research purposes.

In 2015, Ruwa Romman was enabling Oglethorpe University’s Students for Justice in Palestine to pass the first BDS resolution in the region. Around the same time, the Jordanian immigrant began working with the Georgia Muslim Voter Project and became the communications director for the Georgia operation of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

CAIR was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the funding of Hamas. A year earlier an individual in Atlanta by the same name urged readers to “join the BDS movement” during the Hamas campaign against Israel caused by the Muslim Brotherhood terror group’s kidnapping and murder of three Israeli teenagers, including Naftali Fraenkel, an American citizen.

“I could write chapters about what I have gone through,” Ruwa Romman, told CNN, alleging that she had faced constant discrimination and hate in America.

From CAIR she went on to the Polygon Education Fund. Polygon was co-founded by Wardah Khalid, an anti-Israel activist with UNRWA and the Friends Committee who is now working on bringing Afghans to this country as a senior policy advisor in the Office of Refugee Resettlement at the Department of Health and Human Services. Despite the fact that Polygon was specifically set up to promote the “Muslim presence on Capitol Hill” and lobby members of Congress, it operates as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in what is a likely violation of tax codes tolerated by the IRS.

Now, Ruwa Romman is an incoming member of the Georgia House of Representatives.

Gushing media profiles depict her as the “first Muslim woman” in the Georgia House and the first “Palestinian” elected in the state. Beneath the fawning media profiles that emphasize her accomplishments are the greased wheels of a political machine that abuses its nonprofit status.

The Georgia Muslim Voter Project, where Romman worked to “increase voter turnout”, is also a 501(c)(3), despite its political agenda and involvement in elections, and partnered with CAIR’s Georgia chapter, also a 501(c)(3). In a midterms press release, CAIR Georgia congratulated Nabilah Islam and Sheikh Rahman, who were elected to the Georgia State Senate, and Farooq Mughal and Ruwa Romman, elected to the Georgia House. All four are Democrats.

Muslims now make up two members or 10% of the 22-member Georgia Senate Democrat delegation. To understand how disproportionate this is, there are 5 white and 2 Muslim Democrats in the Georgia Senate. That’s in a state with a population of 10 million where Muslims, despite frenzied growth, still amounts to approximately 100,000 migrants.

Muslims make up 1% of Georgia and yet enjoy a representation ten times their number.

This disproportionate Islamic power reflects the tremendous political influence that Islamists have gained over the Democrat Party and the political machine that mobilized to elect CAIR allies. It is no coincidence that the two Georgia Democrats in the United States Senate, Raphael Warnock, and Jon Ossoff, are both opponents of Israel and have Islamist ties and backing.

Last year, CAIR touted an exit poll showing that 91% of Georgia Muslims had voted for Warnock and Ossoff. Only 6% voted Republican.

“Georgia Muslim voter turnout and preference were a deciding factor in electing Rev. Warnock and Ossoff, tipping the balance of power to Democrats in the U.S. Senate,” CAIR-Georgia boss Abdullah Jaber boasted.

CAIR, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, which is barred by tax codes from getting involved in elections, was boasting of its people electing Democrats, after having been involved in getting Muslims to the polls.

But as Internal Radical Service by David Horowitz and John Perazzo documented, the IRS has enabled the rise of a Democrat empire of nonprofits funding partisan elections. That is part of what happened in Georgia and around the country. And Islamists are taking advantage of it.

Behind the Islamist political machine was a lot of money. Much of it coming from the Left.

The Georgia Muslim Voter Project scored $110,000 from the Southern Poverty Law Center. The SPLC misleadingly described this as grants for groups led by “black people and people of color.”

The CAIR-allied project also benefited from funding provided by the Proteus Fund and the Southern Partners Fund.

Ruwa Romman had co-founded the Georgia Volunteer Hub focusing on the 2021 runoff whose members included not only CAIR and the Georgia Muslim Voter Project, but Stacey Abrams’s New Georgia Project, Bloomberg’s March for our Lives, and the Young Democrats. Its goal had been training volunteers for the runoff. The Hub illegally mixed C3s like CAIR and the Georgia Muslim Voter Project with openly partisan Democrat groups while working on an election.

Having been incubated and prepped by her experience working with election nonprofits, funded at taxpayer expense, the CAIR Islamist in her hijab was more than ready for a turnout election.

Romman beat Republican candidate John Chan by 57% to 42% in the general election after beating another Chinese candidate, J.T. Wu, in a narrow Democrat primary by a mere 579 votes. District 97, with a population of 67,480 is 34% white, 14% black, 11% Hispanic, and 27% Asian. Turnout for the Democrat primary was less than 5% of the overall statistical population. And turnout for the general election was at a little over a quarter.

The Islamists had used nonprofit taxpayer-funded resources to turn out their voters, focusing on voter registration in the mosques that have popped up as organizing centers across Georgia.

And the mosques are nonprofits too.

That also helps explain what happened in Georgia elections in the last few years.

Muslim migration has changed the demographics of the state. In 2010, there were an estimated 53,000 Muslims in Georgia. That number appears to have doubled. Atlanta boasts 80 mosques and 75,000 Muslims. At the same time, the number of Muslim inmates tripled.

Georgia had one of the fastest-growing populations fueled by refugee resettlement. It is no coincidence that the co-founder of the Polygon Fund has gone on to work as an adviser for the Office of Refugee Resettlement which is moving 1,000 Afghans into Georgia.

With more to come.

In 2021, 3.2% of all refugees were directed to Georgia. This is part of the wave of demographic change that Islamists have harnessed, but which transcends any particular group, and yet whose overall goal is to transform conservative states like Georgia into leftist dominions.

CAIR Georgia’s government affairs director noted that they were in a “state where the Muslim population is only approximately 0.7 percent of the total population – much of it centered in the Atlanta metropolitan area.” That population is growing quickly, but more importantly, it’s organized. And the organizing is funded by leftists and by nonprofits protected by the IRS.

The Georgia Muslim Voter Project is an example of a new wave of Islamist organizations which have moved beyond advocacy and into elections. The Project takes in funding from leftist groups, but also from new Islamic-leftist funding mechanisms such as the Pillars Fund, a “national nonprofit” that “amplifies the leadership, narratives, and talents of Muslims”.

Pillars, founded by a former program director for the McCormick Foundation, boasts a board of directors that includes Saleemah Abdul-Ghafur, chief of staff for the Bill Gates Foundation, and Deana Haggag, a program officer at the Mellon Foundation. The Pillars Fund has received grants from the hijacked Doris Duke Foundation and $1.6 million from the MacArthur Foundation.

While Americans slept, Islamic organizations morphed and crept deeper into the infrastructure of the Left, capturing its election machines and its foundations. Georgia is just one of the results.

The Muslim Brotherhood, always adept at imitating the organizations and societies it wants to take over, has copied the political structures of the Left, working from within, building its own models, and merging them into the originals in order to achieve greater power and influence.

“Our democracy is under attack by Republicans,” Ruwa Romman claimed. But what sort of democracy do Islamists believe in?

As Siraj Wahhaj, an unindicted co-conspirator in the World Trade Center bombing once said, “In time, this so-called democracy will crumble, and there will be nothing. And the only thing that will remain will be Islam.”

CAIR Georgia last year promoted a broadcast on the “Life and Contributions of Imam Siraj Wahhaj”.

That is its idea of democracy. And the abuse of nonprofits for election activities means that we’re funding our own takeover.

His crime was convincing Muslims to convert to Christianity, which is forbidden in Islamic law. But here again, the world will yawn, while if the roles were reversed, which they would not be and should not be, there would be an insistent international outcry.

“Pastors Wounded in Separate Attacks in Uganda,” Morning Star News, November 29, 2022:

NAIROBI, Kenya (Morning Star News) – A group of Muslim extremists in eastern Uganda seriously wounded a pastor and his wife in an attack on a meeting at their church on Nov. 18, he said.

The knife attack on an evening service of Believers’ Church in Nansonko village, Kibuku District came in response to an evangelistic event in August where five young Muslim men, ages 19 to 27, put their faith in Christ, said the 56-year-old victim of the assault, Pastor Jude Sitaalo.

“I had been warned three times with threatening messages,” Pastor Sitaalo told Morning Star News, adding that the threats were made both face-to-face and in phone texts, with one stating, “Pastor, let our children come back to Islam, and if not we are going to kill you and destroy your church.”

He said he and his wife, Naisiga Sitaalo, were meeting with 10 other church members when he saw a mosque leader leading a group of Muslims who intruded into the service at about 7:35 p.m.

“They got hold of me and started beating me with sticks while one of them cut me with a long knife,” Pastor Sitaalo told Morning Star News. “One member of the church and my wife tried to rescue me, but they were seriously beaten up with sticks.”

Other church members fled for their lives, he said. Pastor Sitaalo sustained knife wounds on his head, hand and back, and his wife was also cut on the forehead and back, he said.

“We are suffering for pastoring converts from Islam,” the pastor said from his hospital bed….

Yemen: Christians are experiencing a sharp rise in arrests and torture

This story will get no attention. The international media is too concerned with stories about Muslims in Europe suffering from insulting remarks.

“Your prayers needed for Christians in Yemen shaken by arrest and torture,” Open Doors, November 8, 2022:

Your prayers are urgently needed for our brothers and sisters in Yemen. There has been a sharp increase in arrests, with torture being used to draw information from believers. “Their faith is shaken,” Open Doors has been told.

Yemen is number five on the World Watch List, making it one of the most dangerous countries in the world to live as a Christian

Christians in Yemen are experiencing a sharp rise in arrests and torture, resulting in a traumatising impact on affected believers and their families.

The spike has come in recent months. These are not linked to one specific church network, but several different ones.

“We are specifically concerned because torture is used to force the Christians to give information about the activities of believers or names of other believers,” says an Open Doors spokesperson.

Some of the arrested Christians have been released, but they are struggling with the aftermath of the torture they suffered.

“They are shocked and are struggling with their faith…”

“We see that their arrest and the torture had, and still has, a deep impact on their families, too,” the spokesperson adds. “They are shocked and are struggling with their faith, as they were counting that God would spare them, that God would intervene. Their faith is shaken.”…
